Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 539 Watching you cry with a smile (5)_1

Wanqian awoke from a nightmare, sweating profusely as her health continued to deteriorate. Her condition became so critical that it exacerbated her already frayed nerves. A single phone call was enough to accuse Shen Cheng of murder and bring him to court.

Meanwhile, the investigation team’s deeper probing uncovered poisoned red wine in the Shen Mansion’s wine cabinet. This was confirmed to be the same poison found in Wanqian’s system. Shen Cheng was subsequently detained, awaiting the court’s verdict.

At the same time, Wanqian’s health worsened. She grew weaker after giving birth, experiencing an overwhelming sense of powerlessness that even the hospital could not diagnose.

Moreover, Wanyou’s sporadic appearances and accusations in her dreams caused Wanqian to see her own fate reflected in Wanyou’s. The once vibrant Wanyou had become like a withered leaf, slowly giving up on life. Similarly, the hospital was helpless to aid Wanqian.

This realization left Wanqian utterly despondent. Facing death, her resentment towards Shen Cheng grew even stronger. I’m going to die anyway, so I’ll make sure he suffers!

Furthermore, another testimony emerged concerning the deaths of Wanyou and the old patriarch of the Shen Family, along with the theft of Shen Family shares. When this testimony was revealed to the police, it caused a sensation in Beijing. It transpired that the Shen Family’s heir and head of household from two years prior had not died of natural causes but had been murdered.

With Wanqian’s own life hanging by a thread, her hatred for Shen Cheng became bone-deep. She confessed everything: how she and Shen Cheng had conspired to poison Wanyou, frame her for eloping and other fabricated crimes, and how they had angered Elder Shen to death. Consequently, Shen Cheng was also detained.

Based on Wanqian’s testimony and the evidence she presented, Shen Cheng had no defense and ultimately confessed to the poisoning. However, on the very day Shen Cheng confessed, a miracle occurred: the toxins that had penetrated to Wanqian’s marrow and exacerbated her postnatal weakness completely vanished from her body without any medication. This event was hailed as another medical miracle.

Before Wanqian had a chance to rejoice, the police took her back into custody.

With the apprehension of both culprits and their subsequent testimonies, Shen Cheng and Wanqian were convicted of murder and sentenced accordingly.

This couple, once seemingly bound by deep affection, shocked the public by turning on each other in a dog-eat-dog spectacle before the law.

Shen Cheng received a life sentence, while Wanqian was sentenced to twenty years in prison. Furthermore, during her incarceration, Wanqian was taken by a national research institute for scientific study.

A person declared dead by hospitals, only to miraculously revive and be cured of all prior ailments, represented a significant discovery the nation could not overlook. Thus, Wanqian’s future became an even greater tragedy than Shen Cheng’s.

The Shen Family case concluded in just half a month, with both perpetrators swiftly receiving their legal punishment.

Shangguan You stood at a window in the Shen Mansion, a glass of red wine in her hand, the breeze gently playing with her hair. Her profound gaze was fixed on the dark night outside. Today, the matter of Shen Cheng and Wanqian has been brought to a fitting conclusion. They will spend the rest of their lives repaying their debt to the Shen Family.

The Shen Family was once again under her control. From this day forward, I will bring glory to the Shen Family and ensure no one can ever undermine it again. She had also taken certain measures concerning Shen Cheng and Wanqian, eliminating any possibility of their escape.

I want them to reflect on their actions in their cells and regret the decisions they made.

"Grandfather, may you rest in peace," Shangguan You murmured, tears streaming from her eyes as she gazed at her grandfather’s benevolent visage, seemingly manifest in the air.

She had finally fulfilled her objective, the most she could do for the Shen Family. From this day forward, I am Shangguan You. The Shen Family’s matters are settled, and the business is back on track. With Zhong Mingyang and the others overseeing it, I can be at ease. Now, it’s time to carve out a place for the Shangguan Family.

With the new academic term approaching, the people of Hidden World Village would likely make their move. Shangguan You’s focus was now entirely on them and the Ye Family; she no longer had time to play games with Shen Cheng and Wanqian. That was why she had personally intervened.

Glancing around the familiar room and its layout, Shangguan You sighed deeply. With a wave of her hands, she vanished from the room, reappearing in the Shen Mansion’s secret chamber.

I don’t have time to deal with or explore this secret chamber right now. Perhaps after I’ve resolved the current pressing matters, I’ll come back to investigate it.

Shangguan You manipulated the earth below, moving the Shen Family’s secret chamber a thousand meters deeper underground. At such a depth, it would be impossible for anyone to discover it.

Having done all this, Shangguan You reappeared in the room. Then, with a flicker, she vanished from the Shen Mansion, which was once again plunged into darkness.

In the following days, Shangguan You dedicated herself to cultivating Spiritual Energy within her space. She also worked with the Medicine King Cauldron to research new medicinal formulas and used the flames at her command to forge numerous powerful weapons.

A persistent sense of unease lingered in her heart. The prophetic dreams that once warned her of impending danger had not appeared for a long time. I don’t know what the future holds. However, I’m certain the Ye Family won’t leave me alone, and the people from Hidden World Village could turn their weapons on me at any time for the Five Spirit Pearls, despite our current temporary compromise. Therefore, she knew she had much to do: protect Shangguan You (her current self), awaken Lin Mengjie; even the Lin Family had become her responsibility. Consequently, in addition to her time at home, she frequently visited the Lin Family, gradually improving their physical constitution as she did for her own family members.

Amidst her busy schedule, the day arrived to register at Beijing First University. I really don’t want to go to university, but I have no choice.

Shangguan Qing, Yu Zifeng, Zhang Yuchen, and Gui Luo had been training tirelessly at the military academy and had not returned home for two whole months. Gui Mo had also joined the military, undergoing special training alongside the other four.
