Chapter 401: Biological? Shen Youran's Background
Since then, Shen Wenting's family moved to the capital and ignored their poor relatives. When Shen Kangde encountered difficulties, he wanted to find his nephew to find a solution, but he didn't expect that the servant would not even let him in, saying that there was no such poor relative.
Shen Kangde was so angry that he started cursing and called him an ungrateful ungrateful person when he returned to the village. He cut off all ties with their family from then on. Shen Wenting didn't take it to heart at all. He thought that these people were just jealous of his success and wanted to make friends with him, so he turned them all away.
When asked whether Shen Wenting had ever gotten married, Fang said that Shen Wenting once had a childhood sweetheart named Xier, but Xier's family looked down on Shen Wenting, thinking that since his father had failed the imperial examinations all his life, he must not be much better.
Besides, Shen Wenting had arranged a childhood marriage for Xier, and the marriage had not been cancelled, so he did not agree to the two of them seeing each other and found a husband for Xier. Xier refused to agree and ran away on the way to her wedding. She has been missing since then.
Later, the parents of the girl who was engaged as a child had an accident, so Shen Wenting took the girl in. My name seemed to be Ru... Although the two did not get married, they lived under the same roof, and Old Madam Shen had long regarded her as her own daughter-in-law.
As for whether any distant relatives had died and left behind children more than ten years ago, Fang insisted that there were no children. Their Shen family was small, with only two brothers and only a handful of relatives, not to mention distant relatives.
After Yuzhu wrote down what Shen Wenting's sister-in-law said, she asked her not to tell anyone else about her visit. When she left, she took out a piece of silver and gave it to her. Fang happily took the silver and promised that she would never tell anyone about it.
After leaving Shenjia Village, Yuzhu went to the home of Shen Wenting's childhood sweetheart to inquire, and the result she got was almost the same as what Fang said.
When they met Xier's parents, they couldn't hide the sadness on their faces when they talked about their daughter. They were old and regretted forcing their daughter to get married. If they had given in to her and agreed to let her marry Shen Wenting, perhaps their lives would be different now. She had been missing for so many years, and they didn't know how she was doing now, whether she was alive or dead...
After Yuzhu brought the news back, she asked the people in the Duke's Mansion to investigate according to these clues. After much inquiry and investigation, and after a lot of effort, they finally got some clues.
Yuzhu reported the investigation to Chen Shuhua: "Madam, the matter has been investigated clearly."
"Well, how's it going?"
"We went to Zhao Qi's house first. They had already moved away. No one knew where they went. Old Qiao's family had also all left the capital and returned to their hometown. Should we continue to send people to look for them?"
"Being not."
Zhao Qi was just a worker, and he was not the real mastermind. He was released just a few days after being arrested last time. Perhaps he was worried that he would be implicated in Lao Qiao's affairs, so after being released, he immediately left with his wife and children.
"We also found out about Miss Youran's background." Yuzhu paused and looked at Chen Shuhua with some heartache.
"Just say it." Chen Shuhua was already mentally prepared, and Yao Qingnian stood beside her, quietly accompanying her.
"Ms. Youran is Shen Wenting's biological daughter. She is the biological daughter he had with his childhood sweetheart."
Even though she was mentally prepared, Chen Shuhua was still extremely shocked. How dare Shen Wenting ask her to raise a child for him? "Go on."
"Back then, Xier's family disapproved of her relationship with Shen Wenting and arranged a marriage for her. On the day of the wedding, she ran away and came to the capital to find him.
At that time, your marriage with Shen Wenting had just been finalized. In order not to ruin his marriage with you, you secretly kept the girl outside.
Later, Xier died of dystocia during childbirth. The eldest daughter was sent away not long ago, which gave him this opportunity, so the child was not adopted from a distant relative. "Yuzhu reported the truth about Shen Youran's life experience.
What the hell, Shen Youran is actually the child of Shen Wenting and his childhood sweetheart? No wonder he treats this adopted daughter better than his biological daughter Shen Nianran. I couldn't figure it out before, and I thought it was normal for the father and daughter to be close because Shen Youran grew up by his side. It turns out it's because of this.
"And there's Runiang. She and Shen Wenting were engaged when they were children. After Runiang's parents died, she was taken to the Shen family. Although she didn't get married to him, the old lady had already treated her as her own daughter-in-law. She even knew everything about bringing her to Beijing and raising her outside. Most people in Shenjia Village knew about it."
Chen Shuhua was trembling all over. How touched she was at first by the idea of only having her for the rest of her life. Now she found it ridiculous: "Except for me, does everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion know about this?"
"Yes, the old lady has always known about it. She also knows about that grandson. She used to visit him often without telling you."
"Ha! It turns out they are a real family. For so many years, I was the only outsider who was kept in the dark." Chen Shuhua has heard too many unexpected things recently. When she talked about these things, she was no longer surprised.
She believed that she had been very kind to the old lady over the years, even closer to her than to her own mother. When the old lady suddenly fell ill and was unable to move in bed, it was she who served her personally. She even did things like taking her to the urinal herself. The nanny around her couldn't stand it and asked her to ask the servants to do these things, but she was afraid that the servants would not take good care of her, so she insisted on serving by the bed herself. How could she, a young lady who was brought up in a pampered manner in a Duke's mansion, have ever done such a thing?
She served her wholeheartedly and never took her challenges to heart. She used the best tonics, herbs and doctors. Everyone around her said that she was filial.
Later, after unremitting efforts, the old lady recovered and regained her health. She also served her carefully, thinking of her for any good things, and getting up early to pay her respects, never missing a day, but this was the result she got in return.
In fact, Chen Shuhua could easily find out all these things by sending someone to Shenjia Village. However, she was completely focused on him and never doubted him at all. When she encountered robbers and the whole city was full of rumors, he was the only one who stood up to rescue her. She didn't care about other people's advice at all, so she never thought of investigating him.
"Madam, what should we do now? Should we make a big deal out of this?" Yuzhu secretly cursed Shen Wenting in her heart.
"They simply think that I am soft-hearted, which is why they have dared to act so recklessly over the years. Doesn't Shen Wenting care about his future the most? Then I will start from here and destroy the things he cares about one by one." Chen Shuhua looked at the distance with a cold face, her eyes full of hatred.
