When Shen Miao heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Old Madam Shen and said, “Grandmother, what are you talking about? Father is also a member of the Shen family. The Shen family and Father are connected. How can you say this about Father at this time? In the past, when Father was rewarded and praised by His Majesty, didn’t Grandmother say that it was the Shen family’s blessing to have such a general? Have you forgotten what you said?”

When the onlookers outside heard this, they looked at Old Madam Shen in unison.

When the mighty general was rewarded by the emperor, Old Madam Shen wasn’t so mean. They were a family, and they were supposed to be together for good or ill. Why did Old Madam Shen look like she was in a hurry to dissociate herself when Shen Xin was in trouble?

Old Madam Shen also realized that everyone was looking at her with unfriendly gazes. For a moment, she flew into a rage out of humiliation, but she did not know how to respond. She could only look at Chen Ruoqiu for help.

Since Shen Gui and Shen Wan had both gone to court, the only person who could take charge here was Chen Ruoqiu. Chen Ruoqiu smiled and said, “Fifth Miss, Old Madam didn’t mean that. Old Madam is just angry. As you know, our Shen family has always been an upright family. If the old general finds out, he will also blame your father. If the impeachment against your father is proven valid, how can our family continue to go on with our lives in the capital?”

Seeing that Chen Ruoqiu was speaking up for her, Old Madam Shen found Chen Ruoqiu more pleasing to the eye. She nodded and said, “That’s right. Your father made a mistake. Are we not allowed to criticize him?”
