Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“Since Sheng Xiao’s mother wants to meet Qiqi, I have no objection. You just prepare for their meeting. I’ll ask Qiqi to behave properly too. But, the Sheng family needs to promise not to treat my granddaughter unfairly.” That was what Grandpa Shen said to Jing Yun.

“That’s for sure, Old Mr. Shen.” Jing Yun gave his promise to Grandpa Shen respectfully.

“I hope Qiqi could be calm and behave properly.”

It was still unclear whether Mu Qiqi would be able to keep calm when she met Mama Sheng. It was because she still did not know about it. She was unaware that she was going to meet her future mother-in-law soon. But, some of the people in the Shen family were anxious when they heard about this. For example, the one in Third Uncle’s family.

When Third Aunt learned that Mu Qiqi would be going to the Sheng family, she could not hold back her jealousy.

She said, “Qiqi is just an illegitimate child who does not share our family’s surname. How could she have the same right as the Shen family members?”

She felt that the reason why the Sheng family wanted to meet Mu Qiqi was because the Shen family had brought glory to Mu Qiqi.

If Mu Qiqi became close to the Sheng family, Ruoyi would definitely need to be careful around Mu Qiqi in the Shen family later on.

“No. I need to go to the Sheng family.”

Third Uncle, Shen Qinfeng heard that. He was annoyed with his wife. “Aren’t you overreacting? Mu Qiqi saved Sheng Xiao once and Sheng Xiao sponsored her from then on. Surely, the Sheng family would want to meet Qiqi given their relationship. That’s quite normal. Why do you want to go and interfere?”

“I just want to tell Madam Sheng how cunning Mu Qiqi is so they won’t accept her.”

Shen Qinfeng was helpless. He waved his hands simply. “Do whatever you want. Just you wait and see what will happen if Father knows about it.”

His wife did not care about it. She went out late at night and she did not even tell the others where she was going. It was because she went to the Sheng family to meet Sheng Xiao’s mother.

Mama Sheng was puzzled. Although she was familiar with the people from the Shen family, it was the first time one of them had come to meet her alone. So, she asked the others to take good care of her and greet her politely.

After a few minutes, Mama Sheng met Third Aunt from the Shen family. According to the ranks, Mama Sheng was a generation older than Third Aunt, despite them being almost the same age.¹ Mama Sheng was only several years older than Third Aunt.

“Suyun, do you have any emergency given that you came to meet me at so late an hour?”

Third Aunt soon held Mama Sheng’s hand warmly when she met Mama Sheng. “Assistant Jing Yun came to the Shen family today. I learned that you want to meet Mu Qiqi. I’m afraid that you’ll be tricked by her so I came quickly to warn you.”

“Oh? It’s true that I want to meet her. Why do you despise her so much?”

“I dislike her but I don’t have any right to make any decision. From the minute she came to the Shen family, she used all kinds of tricks to intrude upon us step by step. I could talk about her for three whole days but still I couldn’t tell you how much I’m dissatisfied with her.

“Just take a look at what happened with the Rong family. Then, you’ll know how cunning she is. Now, she has the entire Second Elder’s family on her side. Now, almost half of the Shen family listens to her.

“I believe that she approached Sheng Xiao intentionally at that time.”

Mama Sheng’s eyes darkened when she heard that. “Tell me about it slowly. I also want to know if she is just like what the rumors say.”

“Hmm… Everyone has been hoodwinked by her!”

Third Aunt started with the Mu family. She told Mama Sheng how cruelly Mu Qiqi had treated her younger sister. She destroyed her sister’s reputation and abandoned her in the slum. Then, her younger sister would lead a pathetic life forever.

After that, Mu Qiqi had abandoned the Mu family and lived in a small mansion that belonged to the Sheng family. At the same time, she had tried her best to please Grandpa Shen. She did not want to abandon either the Shen family or the Sheng family.

“Soon after that, Mu Qiqi revealed the secrets about the Rong family. Rong Junhan and her family were ruined. Shen Lin was forced to divorce his wife. But, Second Uncle and his family even thanked her for that. I’m worried about them.

“Moreover, I’m sure you heard about what happened during the party last night. She created trouble on her own and she was framed. But, she accused my daughter because of it and she even claimed that my daughter was the one who framed her. I never saw a person as cunning and wicked as she is.

“Don’t be fooled by that little liar!”

Then, Mama Sheng smiled and patted Third Aunt’s hand. “Don’t worry. Surely, I’ll know how to deal with her if she is really that kind of person.”

“That’s good. I’m just afraid that you’ll be naive like the Shen family.”

Third Aunt stayed in the Shens’ residence until late at night. Clearly, she said a lot of things to Mama Sheng. However, Mama Sheng had made her own judgment even though she listened to everything said by Third Aunt. If Mu Qiqi was that kind of person, surely she would not be accepted by the Sheng family. Yet, what if Mu Qiqi was being mistakenly accused?

***

Shen Ruoyi did not see her mother around in the afternoon. She only saw her mother coming back to the Shen family’s residence late at night. So, she asked her mother immediately, “Mom, where did you go?”

Cen Suyun led her daughter to her own room. Then, she said to her, “I went to the Sheng family because I learned that Madam Sheng wanted to meet that little liar. So, I went there purposely to remind her not to be cheated by that little liar.”

Shen Ruoyi was stunned for a short while after she heard what her mother said. Somehow, she felt that she could not give up her chances with Mu Qiqi. So, she blamed her own mother. “Mom, why did you go and do such a rude thing?”

“Why did you say that I was rude? That little liar has her eyes on our Shen family. Isn’t she the wicked one here?

“Moreover, why are you on her side given that she stole your limelight yesterday? She even accused you wrongly. Why did you allow her to step all over you?”

Was it a wrong accusation?

For Cen Suyun, it was a wrong accusation as long as there was no evidence to prove otherwise.

“The Lin family came in the afternoon and they said that it was the Zhong family’s fault. They were the ones who did it. Grandpa even apologized to me.”

“How could it be forgotten by a simple apology given that they had accused you wrongly? Ruoyi, don’t be so naive. Surely, you should think more about yourself. How could you be so naive and gullible? Wait till you’re betrayed by Mu Qiqi then you’ll know how wicked she is.

“By the way, don’t you interfere with this business.”

“Isn’t she going to meet Madam Sheng?”

“Let her go. I just want to see whether Madam Sheng will give her a hard time.”

What Cen Suyun did was a rather rude and shameful thing. As an elder, she went to another family and condemned her own family member.

Mama Sheng did not tell anyone about it. It was because she wanted to see Mu Qiqi for who she really was. Did Sheng Xiao raise a cunning wolf out there?

As the person who was involved, Mu Qiqi only got to know about it that night. She was going to meet her future mother-in-law. She soon jumped out of bed after she got the news from Sheng Xiao. “Xiaoxiao, could you say that again?”

“Why? Are you afraid to meet my mother?”

Mu Qiqi looked at him with wide eyes. She grabbed Sheng Xiao’s arms immediately. “When is it? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
