Chapter 186 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 36
Shen Chumo knew that Shen Qianyu had misunderstood.
“Master, the sacrifice I’m talking about isn’t death, it’s just that you can’t stay here any longer and you need to go back to where you came from.”
Her voice was calm and gentle, as if she were telling a very ordinary story.
However, these words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in Shen Qianyu's heart.
Shen Qianyu looked at her in surprise. Was it what she thought it meant?
Shen Chumo looked at her with clear, bright eyes and a smile on her face. "Alright, Master, it's time to rest. I still need to see the Shen family tomorrow."
Shen Qianyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, just tell me if you need anything."
She was referring to the Shen family's side.
Shen Chumo lightly tapped her chin with her white fingers and smiled slyly, "Don't worry, they don't need you, they're just small fry."
Gathering faith power is the most important thing right now, but apart from Shen Jiayi, the other members of the Shen family are still far from having enough remorse.
She didn't have much time to waste on the Shen family; she needed to use something more substantial.
The next day, Shen Chumo arrived at the hospital.
The incident started a few days ago when the Shen family hired a Taoist priest to exorcise a ghost. That priest was just a dabbler; he put on a show at the Shen family's house for a long time, setting up formations, drawing talismans, and burning things.
He was waving a peach wood sword around, which angered the wild ghosts in the Shen family.
The group of wild ghosts appeared outright and smashed everything around them to pieces with a thunderous roar.
The master took off running, and the rest of the Shen family were terrified. Everyone rushed out of the house.
Mr. Shen, with his beer belly and poor health, was the slowest to run. Just as the ghost was about to pounce on him, he actually pushed Mrs. Shen, who was in front of him.
Caught off guard, Shen's mother fell forward to the ground, scraping her hands and knees, and breaking her ankle with a crack.
She turned to look at Shen's father with a face full of horror and disbelief.
"Shen Zhenghua, you...you actually pushed me?"
Shen's mother's voice trembled with sobs, as if she couldn't believe that the man who had shared her bed for so many years could do something so heartless.
Shen's father didn't have time to respond and continued to stagger out, shouting, "Help!"
Those ghosts were only trying to scare them. After seeing this scene, they went back to their houses with satisfaction. The eerie laughter echoed in the Shen family mansion, as if mocking the Shen family members.
Finally, Shen Sixuan realized that her mother hadn't followed. After hesitating for a minute, she ran back and carried her mother out.
After being carried outside, Shen's mother saw Shen's father and, disregarding her foot injury, rushed over and grabbed his hair.
She seemed blinded by rage, pulling at Shen's father with all her might.
"You bastard, how could you do this to me? Is my life so worthless in your eyes?"
The father was in pain from being pulled, and he tried to break free from the mother's grasp. "Are you crazy! I had no choice in that situation."
"I bore you four children! You heartless, selfish bastard! You actually want me to die, Shen Zhenghua, I'll fight you to the death!"
Unable to break free, Mr. Shen angrily pushed her away. Mrs. Shen, who was already unsteady due to her foot injury, fell backward like a fragile leaf and rolled quickly down the slope.
Her body rolled down the slope until her head hit a rock and she stopped. Blood streamed down her forehead instantly. She lay there motionless with her eyes closed, her life hanging in the balance.
"Mom!" Shen Sixuan's eyes widened in horror.
Shen Sixuan quickly picked up her mother and took her to the hospital. The examination revealed that she had suffered a severe head injury, a concussion, and signs of intracranial hemorrhage.
He had multiple abrasions and bruises on his body, his ankle sprain had worsened, and he also had a leg fracture.
Shen's mother was rushed to the operating room for emergency treatment.
Outside the operating room, Shen Sixuan glared at her father, "Dad, how could you lay a hand on Mom!"
Mr. Shen muttered, "That's because your mother pulled my hair so hard it hurt."
He touched his hair, which still stung. Damn it, was this woman going to shave him bald?
Shen Sixuan stared in disbelief at her father's indifferent attitude towards her mother's safety.
Over the years, he has always believed that his parents have a very harmonious relationship and he has never seen them argue.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly solid emotional edifice collapsed so easily in the face of a crisis, revealing its ugly and unbearable interior.
Shen Sixuan was extremely disappointed in her father, and her chest heaved with anger.
He never imagined that his seemingly stern father would be so selfish and cowardly, pushing his mother into danger without hesitation at the critical moment of life and death.
With such a big thing happening to the Shen family, Shen Sixuan called all her siblings.
They even called Shen Qianyu, but they couldn't reach three of the four people. Shen Chumo and the other two were in the Mysterious Space, and Shen Wenlu was filming on set and it would take him some time to get over, so he couldn't arrive immediately.
Shen Sixuan frowned, her heart filled with helplessness and anxiety. At this crucial moment, none of them were of any use.
Thinking about the current mess in the Shen family, the Shen family mansion has been thrown into chaos by that strange incident, the mother is lying unconscious in the hospital room, and the father has done such a heartless thing. The harmony of the family has long since disappeared.
Furthermore, the company's recent inexplicable financial problems seem to be manipulated by an invisible hand, attempting to push the Shen family into the abyss.
He sat on the bench, rubbing his temples. His mental state had been deteriorating lately. The continuous overwork and the series of blows had left his eyes bloodshot.
He began to recall the chicken soup Shen Qianyu would give him whenever he was tired, as well as the sleep-aid sachet she gave him. The sachet's delicate fragrance had accompanied him to sleep on countless sleepless nights.
Shen Sixuan sighed. Fine, he'll bring Shen Qianyu back himself after this is over.
...
Shen Chumo pushed open the ward door and was surprised to find that the entire Shen family was there. Great, it saved her from having to make several trips.
A faint smile played at the corners of her lips, but her eyes held a hint of coldness.
"Oh, everyone's here." Shen Chumo's voice broke the slightly oppressive silence in the ward.
The Shen family members all turned to look at her, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction and reproach.
Shen Sixuan frowned. "Chu Mo, where have you been these past few days? Such a big thing happened at home, and I haven't seen you anywhere."
His voice carried a hint of weariness and suppressed anger. The pressure of the past few days had already overwhelmed him, and Shen Chumo's disappearance had only added to his distress.
Shen Wenlu was unaware of Shen Chumo's antics these past few days. When he saw Shen Sixuan reprimanding her, he quickly defended her, "Big brother, how could you say that about Momo? Momo may have something important to do these past few days."
Shen Jiayi glanced at Shen Chumo. He knew the truth, but he didn't lie. In his heart, his only sister now was Qianyu, and he would expose Shen Chumo's true colors sooner or later.
