Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Who is that? Mrs. Shen's heartbeat quickened.

Mrs. Shen gently placed the sweet soup in her hand on the table and quietly approached the door, wanting to listen to what was being talked about inside.

However, the next words shocked her - the eldest prince was still alive, and the master seemed to know where he was.

How is this possible? Mrs. Shen opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth tightly with her hands, fearing that even the slightest sound would attract the attention of those in the room.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Could it be that... Shen Siyan, the child who was brought home by the master since childhood, is not an ordinary person?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen's body couldn't help but tremble.

Many years ago, when her own flesh and blood died due to dystocia, the master suddenly brought back a baby, and from then on the child grew up as the second young master of the Shen family.

Although she tried many times to find out the truth, and even questioned the master directly, she never got a clear answer.

If Shen Siyan is really the eldest prince, then everything makes sense. This thought gave Madam Shen a chill, and she bit her palm hard, using the pain to remind herself to stay calm.

A cold voice came from inside the house: "Sir Shen, hiding the royal bloodline is a capital crime. Do you want to see the Shen family suffer a catastrophic disaster?"

After a moment of silence, Master Shen calmly responded, "Your Highness, I really don't understand what you said. I know nothing about the eldest prince."

The other party was obviously dissatisfied with this answer and slammed the table angrily.

"What benefit will it bring to you to hide the eldest prince?"

Mr. Shen still had no expression on his face, but his heart had long been calm. Ever since he decided to adopt this child that day, he had been prepared to protect this special "son" no matter what challenges he faced.

Seeing this, the visitor realized that he could not force Mr. Shen to speak through words, so he changed his strategy and suggested that Mr. Shen have a cup of tea and take a rest.

Taking the teacup, Mr. Shen drank the tea calmly and politely praised its taste.

As the other party left, the study returned to silence. Mr. Shen sat quietly in the chair, looked around, and then slowly closed his eyes, never to wake up again.

Outside the door, Mrs. Shen had already found a hidden place to hide, and was not discovered until everything was over.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions, worried but also hopeful about the future.

After everyone left, she gently pushed open the door of the study and walked in slowly.

"Master." She called softly.

Master Shen was leaning on the back of a chair, as if he was fast asleep. Her heart tightened, and she asked, "Master, the child you just mentioned... could it be Shen Siyan?"

The room was silent, with no response.

Mrs. Shen slowly approached and gently shook Mr. Shen's shoulder.

"Is Shen Siyan really the eldest prince?"

Mr. Shen's body suddenly stiffened, and then under his wife's touch, he slid lifelessly to the ground.

This scene terrified Mrs. Shen so much that her face turned pale instantly.

"Master!" she screamed, her trembling fingers tentatively approaching Master Shen's nose.

Without breathing, Mr. Shen’s life has already disappeared.

"Master..." Mrs. Shen took a few steps back, her mind in a mess.

How could someone who was alive just a moment ago be dead in the blink of an eye? Then, a thought flashed through her mind - that cup of tea!

Mrs. Shen turned abruptly towards the teacup on the desk, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

She stared at the cup with wide eyes, then quickly left the study, closed the door tightly, and pretended that everything was normal.

The next morning, the housekeeper woke up rubbing his sore neck and found that he had spent the night outside the study.

When he was preparing to serve the master as usual, he found that Master Shen was lying coldly on the ground, having left this world forever.

"Master! Master... someone come quickly!" The butler's shout broke the silence of the Shen Mansion, and the entire mansion fell into chaos in an instant.

Mrs. Shen held her handkerchief tightly, her face pale and her heart still in shock.

Last night she heard shocking news outside the door, and now Mr. Shen died suddenly. She concluded that this was a murderous act by someone to silence him.

If those people knew that she was outside the door at that time, she would probably not be able to escape the disaster.

"The master calls him His Highness? Then the man in the study last night was the Fourth Prince, right? He must have mastered some secrets, so he would..." Mrs. Shen's heart moved and she had a new idea.

"We must tell Lord Yin and the others immediately!"

While the mansion was in a state of chaos, Mrs. Shen quietly left and took a carriage to a secret residence.

After arriving, she knocked on the door, and soon the door opened a crack. The person inside recognized her and let her in.

Walking into the hall of the mansion, there were several elderly officials sitting there. Although they were dressed simply, each of them exuded a majesty that could not be ignored.

Mrs. Shen walked in alone, ready to convey this important news to them.

"What's the rush?" the old man in the high position asked in a deep voice.

Madam Shen immediately put away her usual arrogance and replied respectfully: "Master Yin, I have something important to report."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Madam Shen. She took a deep breath and said, "Yesterday I accidentally heard a secret. It turns out that the eldest prince who was thought to have died long ago is still alive."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. The old man stared at her with sharp eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Someone secretly took the eldest prince away from the palace and successfully protected him. Now, he is still alive and well." Mrs. Shen felt her heart pounding. She knew that this news was no trivial matter.

The old man clenched his fists, his eyes cold: "Humph, this is not good news, it means we have one more opponent."

Madam Shen smiled slightly and said softly: "Lord Yin, perhaps we can take this opportunity to speed up our actions."

The old man looked at her in confusion, waiting for an explanation.

"In fact, the eldest prince is among us - he is Shen Siyan." Mrs. Shen revealed the truth directly.

Everyone present was stunned and gasped.

"What did you say?"

"Is this true? What's going on?"

The old man frowned: "Shen Siyan? Isn't he a child adopted by the Shen family? How could he be the eldest prince?" After a brief silence, he suddenly raised his head.

"Is he really the eldest prince?"

Madam Shen nodded affirmatively: "That's right. I always thought he was Mr. Shen's illegitimate son outside, but I didn't expect him to be the eldest prince."

"Is this true?" The old man's voice was a little anxious.

"It's true."

Madam Shen firmly believed that Shen Siyan's identity was beyond doubt. Master Shen was willing to endure misunderstandings and was unwilling to reveal a single word, because the eldest prince's safety was of paramount importance.

"Shen Siyan, the eldest prince..." the old man repeated over and over again, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, this is a godsend! We have been waiting for many years, and finally this day has arrived!"
