As soon as Chi Shuyan’s poisonous words fell, Mother Shen couldn’t help but suddenly get up, point at Chi Shuyan, and scold her. She said that not only did Chi Shuyan create rumors about the Shen family, she was always making life difficult for her daughter and slandering her.
Mother Shen cursed and cried, her tears and snot rousing sympathy, before Commissar Shen stopped her.
Commissar Shen was usually a good-natured person. Today, he was determined not to make a fool of himself at the banquet.
His table was next to Chi Shuyan’s table. He got up and walked over with an ugly expression, but took the initiative to toast Chi Lingyan graciously.
Only then did Yan Youwei and the others snap back to their senses. Their sister-in-law had suddenly flipped out. Was she at odds with the Fang and Shen families?
When it came to their goddess and their sister-in-law, Yan Youwei and the others naturally stood on their sister-in-law’s side. However, they wondered if their sister-in-law had some kind of grudge against their goddess.
Although the Wei father and sons, along with Chi Lingyan, knew that the Shen woman wasn’t human, wouldn’t Yan Yan’s provocation alert the enemy? They were also afraid that this would affect Yan Yan’s reputation, since everyone else didn’t know the truth.
Chi Shuyan didn’t care what the people around her thought, nor did she care about the Shen couple’s expressions. At the thought that the Shen woman had tried for her father again just now, she didn’t want to let her live another day.
Without waiting for the others to speak, Chi Shuyan got up and suddenly said, “Why don’t I tell everyone a story first? The story is called the Blood Bracelet. That’s because this bracelet is very beautiful; if one looks carefully, it is as red as human blood inside!”
Chi Shuyan didn’t care whether or not everyone wanted to hear the story, and continued, “This blood bracelet was originally stolen from a tomb by tomb robbers, and later fell into the hands of the owner of Mingxuan Pavilion…”
Before Chi Shuyan could continue, Shen Rongyin lost her cool. Fear and cold and murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she immediately interrupted Chi Shuyan in a hurry. “Yan Yan, I know you’ve never liked the idea of me as your stepmother. You don’t like me, and I’m no longer bothering Captain Chi anymore, as you wished. I’m doing well with Qingyang now. What on earth are you trying to do? I don’t want to fuss over those rumors anymore. Yan Yan, today is a good day for me. Can we talk about other things later?”
Shen Rongyin stared coldly at Chi Shuyan. Fang Qingyang was also angry that Chi Lingyan’s daughter wasn’t giving him face. He was about to speak, when Fang Qingtian’s voice suddenly rang out. “Niece Chi, I want to hear this story. Continue!”
“Brother! Even you believe this girl’s rumors?” Fang Qingyang looked at his brother in disbelief, not knowing why his brother had suddenly spoken up for the Chi girl.
Father Wei naturally sided with Yan Yan. The sooner this Shen woman was exposed, the better. As soon as Fang Qingtian spoke, Wei Xiao nodded and said that he, too, wanted to hear this story. Yan Youwei and the others could only side with their sister-in-law. In the end, the newly appointed Chief Ren also expressed that he wanted to hear this story.

Fang Qingyang looked at Chief Ren in disbelief.
Since the highest-ranking officer had spoken, the others couldn’t say much.
Chi Shuyan finished admiring the changes in Fang Qingyang and Shen Rongyin’s expressions. She looked down and saw that Shen Rongyin’s fingers were clenched so tightly that they were white and her nails looked like they were about to break. Chi Shuyan curled her lip and smiled. “Miss Shen, look, everyone wants to listen to this story. Why are you worried? Or are you hiding some unspeakable secret?”
