Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 602 She planned to kill Wan Wan!

　　”So are you two here for revenge?” asked Xu Jia knowing fully well what kind of person her nephews were.

And sure enough, without missing a beat, the two brothers answered, ” Yes.”

Xu Jia was really amused seeing the two agree so easily, really her two brothers-in-law have raised ferocious wolves under their wings. 

Old madam Shen and Shen Tian were too hysterical to sense that they were being fooled, they kept asking a bunch of questions making it impossible for Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi to answer even one of them. 

” Mother,” after getting a chance to speak, Shen Zizhen firmly put a stop to the questions that were being asked one after another. ” You should know the answers to all these questions better than anyone else, actually I and Elder brother have been working hard to make Su Wan forgive us and we finally get the results of our hard work a few days ago and we were going to introduce her to all of you but then,”  he sighed as he shook his head. ” But then you have to go ahead and adopt this girl in our family how can you do this? I and big brother didn’t even know that you have done something like that and when we tried to put a stop to your antics you refused to listen to us what are we supposed to do? The fact that you are adopting a new granddaughter was found out by Wan Wan as she read the letter that you sent us and then how can she be not upset about it?”

Old madam Shen immediately fell silent and Shen Tian who was entangled together with his mother for no reason felt like he was choking on air. Seriously? He too was against this adoption from the very start why is it that he was getting punished for something that his mother did?

He was really infuriated as he pointed at his brother and shouted, ” You sly foxes, you knew all about Wan Wan and yet you didn’t dare to tell me? Isn’t it because you wanted to be the good uncles in the eyes of Wan Wan? Why didn’t you tell me that she was willing to see you guys? Then I would have come to ask for forgiveness as well. Why did you not do it?”

” Tian’er is right!” after thinking about it for a while, Old madam Shen too snapped out of her daze and glared at her two blockheads sons. ” If she was willing to see our family, you should have told us! If you have told me that sooner then I would have never done something like this to hurt her, is it not because you kept her hidden from us?”

Shen Zeyu and Shen Yu Chen exchanged an excited glance with each other knowing that it will be hard for their fathers to jump through this hurdle but soon they realised that they were too optimistic and underestimated their fathers.

Because without even batting an eye, Shen Zizhen lied smoothly. ” Wasn’t it because I didn’t want to give you false hope mother and not to mention, you never really told us about that girl you were going to adopt. If you did then we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

Then he paused and added, ” and even if we had brought her here, who would guarantee that she would have been safe? Mother, you were poisoned by those whom you trusted so much, it’s your good fortune that we found about it way sooner than your health deteriorated to the point of no return. If we had brought Wan Wan here, wouldn’t the Ji family have tried to harm her? We kept telling you that your maternal family was no longer the made as before and that it has become a shell of greedy white-eyed wolves after the death of our grandfather but you didn’t listen, you kept a blind trust in them.”

”That’s not the worst thing, what’s the worse thing is that you kept giving a lot of resources to the Ji family, whether it was money or connection, you gave them everything. And the thing that angers me the most about this habit of yours is not that you wanted us, brothers, to help and support this family of leeches but that——”

He paused to get a dramatic reaction from all the listeners and continued, ” Because you helped this family beyond their worth, they thought that they would be fine stretching their hands to our Wan Wan…. They were worried that if Wan Wan were to come back to the Shen mansion, their resources would be cut off which was why they decided to the money that you have given them to kill Wan Wan!”

Old madam Shen felt her heart stop beating as she swayed on the spot, seeing this Xu Jia rushed over and hurriedly held her up before handing her the medicine that she used to calm herself down. ” Mother, take this …take a whiff of it and calm down, you cannot let anything happen to you before seeing Wan Wan!”

These words woke Old madam Shen who felt like she was losing her breath, she reached out and took the medicine that Xu Jia handed her before taking a whiff of it. As the calming scent flowed through her nostrils, she calmed down and her breathing eased.

Shen Tian on the other hand lost his calm and rushed to stand in front of his brothers as he demanded, ” What the heck do you mean by that? Second brother, what do you mean by kill?”

” What do you think I mean? Little Third, I do understand that you were annoyed by our mother but how can you allow her to casually give away five hundred taels of gold to that girl?” Shen Zizhen sharply questioned Shen Tian, then he turned to look at his mother and added in an unforgivable tone. ” And mother you sure are generous as well, you handed such a sky-high amount to a little girl without thinking anything?”

He motioned to his subordinate who dragged the chubby thug that was hired by Old master Ji.

Then Shen Zizhen turned to his mother and younger brother before explaining what happened to Su Wan the night before. ” That girl saw Wan Wan and because she was worried she will lose everything that you have given her, she and the Ji family came up with the plan to kill our Wan Wan!”
