As soon as Shen Wanzhou's voice fell, a rich fragrance filled the entire room. A pill, round and plump like a longan, slowly rose from the furnace, emitting a faint golden glow.
Shen Wanzhou stood up excitedly, joyfully gazing at the Qi Condensation.
It worked!
This is amazing!
Shen Zhentian, Shen Yunting, and Shen Yunlei were equally thrilled. The appearance of this Qi Condensation meant that the Shen Family had hope for a turnaround!
"Shen Wanzhou, you are incredible!" Sister-in-law Yeh Jing-Shu exclaimed, tears of joy streaming down her face as she stepped forward to grasp Shen Wanzhou's hand. "With this Qi Condensation, our Shen Family will no longer fear being left behind in cultivation, and we won't be suppressed by the Wuding Marquisate in the future!"
Seeing her family so overjoyed, Shen Wanzhou felt a surge of emotions. Ever since she married Chen Yuantu, the Shen Family had been secretly suppressed by him, leading to their decline. Unfortunately, it wasn't until she was expelled from the Wuding Marquisate that she realized the true nature of her partner.
Although her brother and two sisters-in-law had never said anything, she felt guilty at all times. If she could refine the Qi Condensation, it would not only be her support but also the hope for the rise of the Shen Family!
From now on, she would reclaim everything her family had lost.
"This Qi Condensation is of great importance; we need to discuss how to handle it properly."
Shen Zhentian, being well-informed and experienced, quickly suppressed his excitement and adopted a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Shen Family nodded in agreement, their expressions turning solemn.
"Father, this Qi Condensation is so precious; I think we should auction it off to get the best price!" The eldest brother Shen Yunting proposed directly.
Even the straightforward Shen Yunlei nodded in agreement. "Eldest brother is right; this Qi Condensation is a second-grade pill. If we put it up for auction, it will definitely cause a sensation!"
"That may be true," Shen Zhentian replied with a furrowed brow, his tone growing more serious. "But none of us can handle it alone."
"Father, why not?" Shen Yunlei frowned immediately in dissatisfaction. "Are we supposed to let them handle it?"
Shen Zhentian sighed deeply. "Second son, we've been targeted repeatedly lately. I've had people investigate secretly; these incidents are not coincidences."
Shen Wanzhou's heart raced at once. "Father, what did you find out?"
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Zhentian's eyes. It was that bastard Chen Yuantu who had sent his men to target the Shen Family. Now, as soon as my elder brother and I showed our faces, we would undoubtedly be attacked.
It could be said that anyone from the Shen Family would be in his crosshairs. He was determined not to let us obtain any resources, wanting instead to use this opportunity to wear down the Shen Family!
That son of a bitch was going too far! Shen Yunlei's anger flared as he slammed his palm on the table, causing the teacups to jump.
Shen Yunting remained silent, but her face was ashen, clearly furious as well.
Shen Wanzhou's complexion turned pale in an instant. She staggered, nearly collapsing.
Even though she knew that Chen Yuantu was an ungrateful and scheming scoundrel, her father's words hinted that Chen Yuantu wanted more than just the lives of the Shen Family; he also aimed to eliminate her and her children!
What should we do? Yeh Jing-Shu felt a wave of anxiety. Are we really going to just sit here and wait for death?
Of course not! Shen Wanzhou gritted her teeth, allowing the metallic taste of blood to linger in her mouth. As a mother, she had to be strong, especially since her family needed her protection.
She could no longer act like a sheltered young lady who turned a blind eye to the world outside.
With that thought, Shen Wanzhou tightened her grip on the medicine. This Qi Condensation must be sold at all costs!
Yeh Jing-Shu bit her lip. How about I take care of it? After all, dealing with medicine was risky for anyone. This might be the only chance for the Shen Family. Moreover, they truly had no savings left; they couldn't afford to wait!
Sister-in-law, Shen Wanzhou felt touched. Yeh Jing-Shu had devoted herself to the Shen Family for many years and was willing to take risks for them.
I agree. Shen Yunting was the first to stand up in support. Jing Shu is meticulous and rarely shows herself in public; it would be most appropriate for her to handle this.
Shen Zhentian nodded in agreement. Very well then, it will be hard work for you, Jing Shu.
No! Just as everyone was about to reach a consensus, Shen Wanzhou shook her head firmly.
Sister-in-law, you have already done enough for me and the two children; I cannot let you take any more risks! Shen Wanzhou stood up while holding Chen Li.
Yeh Jing-Shu was about to speak but was cut off by her. Sister-in-law, please let me finish. The truth is that Chen Yuantu's target is us—mother and children. No matter who from the Shen Family steps forward, if he detects it, we will surely face ruthless retaliation.
Perhaps even more people would get caught up in this mess because of it. I absolutely cannot allow that.
Since he wants to target me and my two children, then I want to see if he dares to bear the guilt of killing a mother and her children!
Shen Zhentian's heart raced at her words. Shen Wanzhou, what do you plan to do?
Shen Wanzhou took a deep breath, her gaze resolute. "Dad, I think none of you should argue with me; let me disguise myself and handle the auction."
What?!
As soon as she said this, the entire family was stunned.
"Third Sister, how can you!" Shen Yunting suddenly stood up, his tone urgent. "This is too dangerous!"
His robust frame trembled slightly with agitation, his thick brows knitted together, and his eyes were filled with concern. Although Shen Yunting was usually calm, he had always been protective of this sister; how could he just stand by and watch her take such risks?
"Yes, Shen Wanzhou, your brother is right," Yeh Jing-Shu chimed in, also trying to persuade her. "You are in poor health and have two children to care for. How can you go to such a chaotic place? What if something happens?"
She didn’t finish her sentence, but the worry in her eyes was unmistakable.
Shen Wanzhou felt a warmth in her heart as she grasped Yeh Jing-Shu's hand and said softly, "Sister-in-law, big brother, please don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I understand that you all care for me, but our Shen Family cannot just sit back and wait for disaster to strike."
Her gaze swept across everyone present, her voice firm. "Chen Yuantu's target is me and the children. No matter who steps forward, he will eventually set his sights on us. Rather than putting you all at risk, it’s better for me to take this on! I refuse to believe he would dare harm his own flesh and blood in broad daylight!"
Shen Yunting wanted to say more but was interrupted by Shen Wanzhou. "Big brother, stop arguing. I'm not a child anymore; don’t forget we are family!"
