Capítulo 19: Questioning

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Nan, on the other hand, didn't take the warning and flung his mother's hand away.

"It's all because of Emily. If she hadn't come to our house, Fifth Brother wouldn't have become so strange. It's all because of Emily."

"Shen Nan, what are you talking about?"

When Second Aunt heard Shen Nan, she suddenly raised her voice.

Everyone was startled when they heard her. She had always been very gentle to others.

"It's because of her. If it weren't for Emily, Fifth Brother wouldn't have changed. I merely told Fifth Brother that Emily wasn't suitable to stay in the Shen family. Fifth Brother didn't say anything and just dragged Emily out. Fifth Brother did it on purpose. Fifth Brother wants me to be punished by Grandpa."

Shen Nan didn't care about it anymore. He felt so unjust and wronged today. If it weren't for Fifth Brother suddenly pulling Emily away, he wouldn't have been punished at all.

"Brother Shen Nan..."

Shen Xue was only a child. When she heard Shen Nan spouting out everything on his mind, she was shocked and at a loss for words.

If he continued, she would probably be exposed as well. If that happened, just imagine how her grandfather would look at her...

Shen Xue's sudden voice broke the silence after Shen Nan had finished ranting.

"You rascal, who told you these things?" Third Aunt exclaimed upon hearing Shen Nan.

She knew her son well, and he definitely would not have such thoughts on his own.

Shen Yan did not scold Shen Nan but instead looked at Shen Xue.

Shen Xue felt her grandfather's gaze on her, but she dared not look at him because she felt that Shen Yan saw through all of her little schemes.

"It's... It's..."

Shen Nan subconsciously looked at Shen Xue. He felt a little regretful. Why did he just say everything just now? Did he almost sell Shen Xue out?

Shen Xue hurriedly turned her face away. In her heart, she had already cursed Shen Nan countless times.

How could this idiot, who had failed to perform every part of her plan, sell her out so easily?

"Shen Xue, tell me, who told Shen Nan these ridiculous things?" Third Aunt was probably the person who understood her son the most. With a glance at Shen Nan's expression, she could usually tell what nonsense her son would spout.

Most likely, Shen Xue was the one who told Shen Nan those things.

"Mom, it has nothing to do with Sister Shen Xue," Shen Nan hurriedly said.

He had already let Shen Xue down. He couldn't betray her now.

But he was too naïve and didn't even realize that he literally just sold her out and confirmed that she was the one who told him all these things.

"Third Aunt, it wasn't me."

Shen Xue's eyes suddenly turned red as she said, her voice was quivering as she tried her best to act like an innocent girl wronged by her family.

Shen Xu hurriedly walked towards Shen Nan and said anxiously, "Shen Nan, hurry up and tell grandfather that you would never have such thoughts on your own."

Shen Xu was the third son of the Shen family. He was Shen Nan's brother. At the age of fifteen, he naturally understood a lot more about the situation than Shen Nan.

It was obvious that Shen Nan, this silly boy, had been used by Shen Xue. And until now, he was still trying to help Shen Xue to cover up. Even then, Shen Xue might not think she owed Shen Nan a favor.

"Third Brother..."

When Shen Nan saw that even his brother was not on his side, he instantly felt even more aggrieved.

Why would even his Third Brother not help him?

"If you want to be stupid, that's your own problem. But when Grandpa gets truly angry and takes out the Family Law, don't blame me for not reminding you."

When Shen Nan heard Shen Xu, fear appeared on his face again. The moment he thought of the Family Law, Shen Nan couldn't help but squirm.

"It's... It's when I came back and saw Sister Shen Xue crying at the door..."

When Shen Xue heard this, she instantly became anxious.

"Shen Nan..."

Shen Nan was frightened by Shen Xue's voice, he stopped speaking right away and ran to hide behind his mother.

"Shen Xue, what are you trying to do? Shen Nan, continue."

Third Aunt was furious when she saw how Shen Xue was trying to manipulate her son.

If it was not for the little girl urging him, Shen Nan would not have made Shen Yan angry.

"Third Aunt, I..." Shen Xue still wanted to say something.

Shen Yan quickly glanced at the butler, who understood his hint and stood in front of Shen Xue, completely blocking her off.

"Continue."

Shen Yan looked at Shen Nan expressionlessly. His emotionless tone made Shen Nan quiver a little as if the room had suddenly gotten colder.

It was the first time Grandpa treated him so coldly.

Shen Nan felt heartbroken. Although Shen Yan didn't treat him as warmly as he did Shen Yu, he would still put on a smile every time he saw him. Shen Yan had never scolded him with a cold expression like this, as if he was facing an outsider.

Shen Yan was so fierce to him today that Shen Nan even felt like he was the least loved child in the family, and the bitterness in his heart grew larger.
