Chapter 631: Does the Shen family dare to admit it?

Shen Zhuyu and Shen Yuanfeng also changed their expressions.

Before this, they had cursed this Shen Nan countless times, wondering why a village girl raised in the countryside could be so troublesome and cunning.

But they had never imagined that this Shen Nan could be a fake.

However, even if they didn’t want to admit it now, recalling Shen Nan’s behavior since she entered the Shen family, their minds quickly believed that what she said was most likely true.

Since she entered the Shen residence, she had never cared about the likes or dislikes of anyone in the Shen family. Whether they acted coldly, tried to please her, or even bullied her, she only behaved like an outsider watching their performance.

After learning that the Shen Nan before them was an imposter, they suddenly felt that their previous actions must have seemed like a clown show in her eyes. They had been racking their brains to perform, but in her eyes, it was all a joke!

Not to mention today.

The two suddenly realized why Shen Nan dared to appear in public with such a big belly—she was probably waiting for the Shen family! Going further back, even the news of her pregnancy might have been deliberately leaked to them by her!

They had lost again!

"If you’re not Shen Nan, then who are you?" Madam Fang was also on the verge of being driven mad by Su Youyue. The person who had angered her to the point of death and nearly ruined the entire Shen family was actually a stranger!

She had thought she finally had the leverage to kill her, but instead, she had turned the entire Shengdu into a laughingstock!

Madam Fang felt dizzy and wished she could tear the person before her to pieces, but she still held on, unwilling to lose to this little wretch.

Shen Zhuyu suddenly spoke up, "Since you say my elder sister was your savior, why have you repeatedly targeted her family, time and time again persecuting our Shen family? Isn’t this repaying kindness with enmity?"

The people around also thought this made sense. If the original Miss Shen had saved this woman, shouldn’t this woman repay the Shen family? Yet everyone knew how she had treated the Shen family, nearly driving them to ruin. The Huaguang brocade from Madam Bai’s cloth shop was still being sold.

Madam Fang’s mind cleared a bit, and she immediately pressed on, "Yes, you ungrateful wretch! My eldest daughter saved you, and yet you turned around and harmed our Shen family. We must take you to the authorities!"

"When I first arrived at the Shen family, the young masters of the Shen family acted as if they wanted to tear me apart, telling me that Shen Zhuyu was the only young lady of the Shen family and that I should know my place.

On my first day, a servant brought me their leftovers and told me this was the meal prepared for me by the master and mistress. I was so angry at her insolence that I slapped her, and she actually demanded that I, the young miss, apologize to her.

Seeing that I had a temper and wasn’t willing to endure this, within a few days of entering the residence, they cut off all my allowances. Even a single grain of rice in my courtyard had to be bought by my own people. I couldn’t help but wonder, are you really Shen’s family? These days, I’ve been thinking that you might also be fake Shen family members."

Su Youyue spoke one sentence after another, and the Shen family couldn’t get a word in. The more she spoke, the louder the murmurs of the surrounding citizens grew.

"Or is it fashionable in Shengdu to torment the young ladies of the family? A young lady is sleeping at night, and her own brother comes to set her room on fire. A young lady is scolded by an outsider, and without asking for the reason, she is forced to apologize first. A young lady commits no wrong, yet her lifelong maid is taken away and beaten to death without any explanation!"

At first, Su Youyue’s eyes carried a faint mocking smile, but by the end, a fire had risen in her chest, and her voice grew colder and sharper.

"These incidents, one after another, were supposed to be endured by Shen herself. She was gentle by nature. What would she think if she saw the family she had longed for treating her like this?"

"Shen died on her way to Shengdu, on her way to replace Shen Zhuyu in a marriage. And you, Shen Zhuyu, and your Shen family, are all the murderers of Shen! If you had treated her sincerely, that would be one thing, but each of you treated her so poorly. Why shouldn’t I seek justice for her from your Shen family?"

Her words came faster and faster, like a rapid-fire cannon, leaving the Shen family speechless and their confidence visibly diminished.

The surrounding citizens were also surprised to learn that there were so many hidden twists and turns in this matter.

In fact, it wasn’t entirely unknown. Some of these stories had been widely circulated before, but few had believed them. Only now, in this context, did they seem particularly credible.

"So this is how the Shen family treated Shen? How dare they call the Priest here! Even if the real Shen were here, her disobedience and unfilial behavior would have been forced by them!"

"That’s right, the Shen family is too inhumane. They never treated Shen as family, so why should she treat them as her closest relatives!"

More and more people’s hearts leaned toward Shen Nan’s side.

But Su Youyue wasn't finished yet. She looked at the Shen family with increasing disgust.

"Are there even more despicable acts by the Shen family that you want me to reveal one by one?"

"Even more despicable?" The people could hardly imagine what actions could be more outrageous than these.

Before the Shen family could respond, Su Youyue continued, "Master Shen and Madam Fang indeed plotted against the Bai family and harmed Madam Bai."

"Shen Zhuyu refused to marry the heir of Ding'an and had her elder sister take her place, yet she still secretly carried on an affair with Meng Ziyu."

"The entire Shen family spiked the wine with aphrodisiacs at the palace banquet..."

"Shen Nan!" At first, Madam Fang didn't realize what Su Youyue was about to say and watched coldly. But as soon as the first sentence was uttered, she was terrified. However, Su Youyue spoke so quickly that by the time Madam Fang reacted, three explosive revelations had already caused an uproar among the surrounding citizens.

Not knowing Su Youyue's name, Madam Fang instinctively called out the name she had been using all this time.

Shen Zhuyu also stumbled, her usually dignified posture faltering for a moment: "Shen Nan, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Master Shen was furious: "Nonsense, utter nonsense! You little bastard, you're asking for death!"

Watching the Shen family in chaos, Su Youyue turned to Shen Yuanfeng, who had yet to speak: "Second Young Master Shen, is what I'm saying true or not? They don't dare to admit it, could it be that you don't dare either?"

"A real man should own up to his actions, shouldn't he?"

"Never mind, I suppose you wouldn't dare to admit it."
