After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 75 Jiang Mianmian's Fury Erupts

Inside the Xuanhua Marquis's residence, the lanterns were just lit, illuminating the entire mansion.

Jiang Mianmian sat in the main room, her eyes fixed on Shen Xiujin, whose face was flushed and who looked somewhat uneasy. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She thought to herself with dissatisfaction:

"Hey you, why aren't you staying home this late at night? Why do you have to go out and look for some young lady? Fine, you can look for her, but why send that idiot back to give me all that vague, ambiguous nonsense!"

Jiang Mianmian grew angrier the more she thought about it, her hands on her hips, her chest heaving with anger.

[I was completely clueless when I heard the news Ba Liang brought back, and I was almost scared to death! I thought you'd been kidnapped! My heart was in my throat; I was terrified that if I was even a second too late, you'd be killed by those bastards.]

I frantically sent your older brother to report to the authorities, hoping to rescue you from the thieves as soon as possible. But what did you do? You went on a date with a woman and caused this whole farce!

[Hmph, you brat, were you born to bring me bad luck? I finally gave birth to a son, and then that damned scumbag lover secretly switched the two kids!]

And me? I foolishly raised that scumbag and that wicked woman's son as my own flesh and blood for so many years...

As Jiang Mianmian spoke, she felt increasingly aggrieved, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

This situation is truly disheartening! My biological son isn't close to me, and my adopted son, after learning about his true parentage, mistakenly believes I secretly switched him, even blaming me for his birth mother's death. He's outwardly respectful, but secretly he probably hates me to the core.

[Hmph, would I abandon my own flesh and blood to dote on someone else's child? I'm not like Shen Xiuyan, who's got a screw loose!]

Shen Xiuyan: "..."

Shen Xiuyan sat there upright, his body ramrod straight, but he was thinking to himself: Mother, it's one thing to scold my second brother, but why do you have to drag me into it? I've been very obedient lately!

At this moment, Shen Xiujin kept his head down, silent, his face full of shame. For a long time, he had firmly believed that Jiang Mianmian was the reason he had never seen his biological mother, and for this he harbored resentment towards Jiang Mianmian.

But after all, Jiang Mianmian had raised him, and this debt of gratitude troubled him, leaving him unsure how to face her. Therefore, he could only choose to treat Jiang Mianmian coldly, as a way to escape his inner conflict and struggle.

In fact, he has now realized that his previous thoughts were completely wrong and has been trying to correct them. It's just that his pride is preventing him from swallowing his pride and admitting his mistake to Jiang Mianmian.

And this time, he really didn't do it on purpose. Besides, it was my elder brother who reported it to the authorities, not him. Mother, if you want to scold someone, scold my elder brother!

Shen Xiuyan: Second brother, you dog, I shouldn't have brought you back, letting you and the female lead "make it a fait accompli".

Jiang Mianmian stared coldly at Shen Xiujin and said irritably, "Second brother, if you want to go find that Su family girl, then go ahead. I won't interfere with anything you do."

"But why did you bring Ba Liang back, asking me to save you? What does that mean?"

"Hmph, look what's happened! Even the government has been alerted. By tomorrow, the whole capital will probably know about this. It's utterly shameful!"

Our Marquis's Mansion has already been the butt of jokes lately because of the Li family's affair. Now, it seems we're about to become the next topic of conversation and laughingstock, just like the Li family!

And I, as the legal mother, have no idea how others will gossip and slander me, how badly I'll be attacked in the end? Hmph, now you've got what you wanted, haven't you?"

Faced with Jiang Mianmian's rebuke, Shen Xiujin opened his mouth, wanting to say something in his defense. However, when the words reached his lips, he felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, and for a moment, he didn't know where to begin.

Jiang Mianmian let out another heavy snort. Seeing this, Cuiyu, who was beside her, quickly stepped forward and carefully supported her. Then, the two of them turned around and walked into the house without looking back.

Looking at Shen Xiujin's worried face, Shen Xiuyan shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and gently patted Shen Xiujin's shoulder, offering heartfelt words of comfort:

"Second brother, please don't take it to heart. Mother was just really angry with you. In the end, it's because she was too worried about your safety."

At this point, Shen Xiuyan frowned and continued, "You don't know, when Mother heard what Ba Liang said, she was so frightened that she was almost paralyzed with fear. She was so scared that she turned pale and her whole body was trembling with fear."

At that time, my mother was filled with worry for you, fearing that something bad might happen to you or that you might encounter an accident. So she hurriedly urged me to report to the authorities as soon as possible, hoping that you could be rescued safely.

After hearing his elder brother's words, Shen Xiujin looked up at Shen Xiuyan and said sincerely:

"Brother, I'm really not angry with Mother. It's just that what happened today was too complicated and bizarre, I... don't even know where to begin."

Seeing Shen Xiujin's appearance, Shen Xiuyan became curious and suggested, "Since that's the case, why don't you come with me to the study? We brothers can have a good chat, and I can hear what's going on with you."

Shen Xiujin nodded and replied, "Alright, brother! Let's go to the study and talk it over slowly. Anyway, Mother is in a bad mood right now, so she probably won't have time to scold me for a while, right?" After saying that, the two walked side by side toward the study.

After entering the study, Shen Xiuyan cautiously instructed Shen Feng to stand guard outside the door and not let anyone else into the study, so as not to let their conversation be leaked.

After seeing Shen Feng walk out and close the door, Shen Xiujin finally felt completely relieved, because this ensured that no one would be hiding in the shadows to eavesdrop on their conversation.

So he took a deep breath and began to recount all the strange and unusual things that had happened throughout the day.

Upon hearing these unbelievable details, Shen Xiuyan's eyes widened instantly, his mouth formed a large "O," and he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment:

"Wow! That's amazing! It's incredible!"

The second brother's story was like a tale straight out of a fantasy novel, and he listened with great interest.

However, Shen Xiuyan was also well aware of the second son's temper, and he must not show any excessive excitement, otherwise what if he angered the second son and stopped talking?

So, suppressing his inner excitement, he tried his best to appear calm and composed, and echoed, "Oh dear! Second brother, is that really the case?"

"Brother, why would I lie to you? I'm not lying. If I hadn't personally experienced such a bizarre thing, I probably wouldn't believe it myself."

At this moment, Shen Xiujin was also shocked by the series of unimaginable events that had occurred today, and was even a little afraid.

I'm now unsure whether I should follow fate's instructions and just be with Su Qianqian, or stick to my truest feelings and bravely fight against destiny.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiujin frowned, looking at Shen Xiuyan with a worried expression, and asked, "Brother, do you think Mother will have a solution? But... how will Mother solve this for me?"

"How could you forget? Didn't I tell you about your sister-in-law's situation before? And your sister-in-law's younger siblings, they were in even worse shape than you back then. It was Mother who stepped in and saved them, otherwise they wouldn't be alive!"

When Shen Xiujin heard these words, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in his previously dull eyes, but then he frowned slightly and asked with some unease, "But, won't this put Mother in some danger?"

Shen Xiuyan gently shook his head, indicating that he was also unaware of the specifics.

"I'm not really sure about that, but your sister-in-law and I have been keeping a close eye on things for a while now, and so far we haven't found anything unusual or bad."

As if remembering something, Shen Xiuyan added, "Oh right, but once I overheard my mother muttering to herself that ever since that thread entered her body, she actually felt that her body was getting better and better!"

"Ah! Such a magical and incredible thing actually happened?" Shen Xiujin's mouth dropped open in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

When he came to his senses, he eagerly asked, "Then... what kind of line is it? Why does it have such a peculiar effect?"

At this moment, Shen Xiuyan shook his head helplessly, sighed, and slowly said, "These days, your sister-in-law and I have been reading a lot of novels about the supernatural when we have nothing to do."

However, after searching through all the pages, we found no record of that mysterious line. But descriptions of things like evil energy, mist, and black aura were mentioned briefly in the storybooks.

And without exception, they are usually depicted as ominous creatures, far from benevolent. But what we find extremely strange is that these originally evil things, once they enter the mother's body, actually nourish her body.

We don't understand the exact reason behind this. Could it really be a case of "two negatives make a positive" or "things reach their extremes and then reverse"? But the reason will probably only be known in the future.
