“Really?”

Old Master Shen smiled coldly. “Just because you don’t have the ability doesn’t mean that you can’t find someone capable.”

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Mdm Shen avoided his gaze and her heart raced.

She did not know how everyone knew about this. After all, so many years had passed.

However, she would not admit this. If she did, she would not lead a good life in the Shen family in the future.

“Father, Mother, what’s wrong?”

Upstairs, Shen Yiyi, who had just woken up, walked down in her pajamas. She rubbed her eyes.

“Yiyi, pack up too. I’ve already booked the plane tickets. We’ll fly to the capital tonight.”

Old Master Shen’s tone towards his daughter was obviously much gentler than when he spoke to Mdm Shen.

“Back to the capital?” Shen Yiyi woke up immediately. “Father, didn’t you say that we were going to spend the new year in City H?”

“Your mother did something wrong. She has to go back and apologize to your aunt.”

Old Master Shen’s tone was very deep. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his fury.

“Apologize to Aunt?”

Shen Yiyi seemed to have guessed something. She glanced at Mdm Shen and pretended to be puzzled. “Father, my mother didn’t do anything wrong to Aunt. Why does she have to specially go back and apologize?”

“You don’t know about this.” Old Master Shen sighed softly. “I heard from your uncle that the priest went to the Shen family in the capital. Not only did he tell your aunt what your mother did back then, but he also showed your aunt the transaction records and contact records your mother gave him.”

Mdm Shen initially thought that there was no evidence. She wanted to deny it.

Who knew that after so many years, Liu Daxian still kept the transaction records and contact records?

“No way?”

Shen Yiyi also knew the severity of the matter. She knew that if Mdm Shen’s crime was confirmed, not only would Mdm Shen be implicated, but she would also be implicated.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Back then, when Aunt was seriously ill, it was my mother who specially invited that master to save her. If my mother really wanted to do something, why would there be a need to do so?”

Old Master Shen also felt that this was reasonable. However, with both human and material evidence, it could not be fake.

“No matter what, let’s return to the capital first. Your uncle said that the master is still in the Shen family waiting for your mother to go back and testify.”

“I’m not going back!” Mdm Shen said nervously. “I didn’t do it. That man framed me!”

She could not return to the capital. If she did, there would definitely be no end to this.

Initially, her in-laws did not like her. If they found out that she was the one who did this at this juncture, she would be finished!

“If you don’t go back, you’re guilty,” Old Master Shen said expressionlessly. “If you didn’t do this, all the more you should go back and testify against that master.”

“I… I…”

Mdm Shen lowered her head and clenched her fists.

Old Master Shen had lived with her for more than twenty years. How could he not know her personality?

Seeing her expression, he immediately understood.

He said in a deep voice, “I initially thought that you saved Sister-in-law back then because you were kind and sincere in wanting to save her. Now, it seems like I was wrong.”

He knew that Mdm Cao did not like his wife in the past. She would even scold his wife for no reason occasionally. This made him very unhappy with Mdm Cao.

However, after Mdm Cao’s illness was treated by someone his wife found, their relationship did not fall into a deadlock like before.

He also sincerely felt that his wife was very magnanimous. She was so good to someone who did not like her in the past and even got someone to go all the way there to treat someone she hated.

It was only now that he knew that his wife was putting on a show.
