Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 65 Token
"alright."

Shen Fuyu agreed reluctantly.

The Shen sisters had no objection to this.

……

Shen House.

Mrs. Shen did not greet them as expected.

On the contrary, the atmosphere in the mansion was depressing.

Shen Fuyu keenly sensed that something was wrong, but the excited Shen sisters did not realize that there was anything wrong, especially Shen Mengwu who skipped towards Plum Blossom Garden.

"mother!"

"Mom, we have two days off and we can finally go home. I miss you so much."

Although Shen Mengwu usually dreams of traveling the world with her sword, she is extremely dependent on Madam Shen and loves to act like a spoiled child.

Shen Mengwu was the first to push open Mrs. Shen's door.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A coughing sound came into her ears. Shen Mengwu looked in the direction of the sound and saw her mother leaning on the bed with a weak face, being helped by an old nanny to drink medicine.

Shen Mengwu's face suddenly changed. She sat in front of the bed and grabbed Mrs. Shen's hand.

"Mother, you were sick, why didn't you send someone to tell us?" Before Shen Mengwu could say anything, Shen Mengning questioned her first.

"Aning." Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was Shen Mengning who had spoken just now. Tears were flashing in her eyes, and she was obviously very moved.

In the past, when Mrs. Shen was sick, although Shen Mengning was very concerned, she rarely spoke up and just did things silently.

This was the first time Shen Mengning took the initiative to question.

Mrs. Shen's eyes fell on Shen Fuyu and asked silently.

Shen Fuyu gave Mrs. Shen a look, and both parties understood each other tacitly.

"A Ning and A Wu, don't worry. Something happened in the mansion recently, and mother fell ill to deal with it."

"But now that the matter has been resolved, mother will take good care of herself and get better as soon as possible. Ning and Wu haven't started a family yet, so mother doesn't dare to let anything happen to them."

Mrs. Shen pretended to be relaxed, and the Shen sisters did not notice anything wrong. Seeing the old nanny nodding beside them, they must have breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me feed my mother the medicine." Shen Mengning took the initiative to reach out and take the medicine from the old nanny.

Nanny Li was moved. "Let me tell you, Madam has done many good deeds and donated a large sum of money every year. Heaven will surely not treat Madam unfairly."

"The eldest lady is getting better and better now, and recovery is just around the corner."

Mrs. Shen was surprised and happy.

If Mrs. Shen had known that Shen Fuyu was so capable, she should have gone to the pawnshop earlier and bought Shen Fuyu back sooner, so that her daughter would not have been ridiculed for many years.

"Shen Fuyu, come here for a moment."

Shen Fuyu, who was standing not far away, approached Mrs. Shen.

Madam Shen put the jade bracelet on Shen Fuyu's wrist and said, "Shen Fuyu, you treat Aning and Awu very well. I see it all."

"My wrist is my token of loyalty. I can use the secret guards when necessary."

Shen Fuyu widened her eyes and subconsciously touched the jade bracelet. She couldn't believe that Mrs. Shen would give her such an important thing.

"Mrs. Shen, are you at ease handing the jade bracelet over to me?" Shen Fuyu thought so and asked directly.

"If you take care of Aning and Awu, this jade bracelet will be given to you."

Parents always think about their children.

Shen Fuyu also realized that giving the jade bracelet to her was to provide protection for the Shen sisters.

Mrs. Shen knows the Shen sisters.

Shen Mengwu has an erratic personality, is impulsive and easily angered, and is bound to do something wrong. Shen Mengning is too quiet, and reacts slowly in front of outsiders. When anxious, she is easily speechless and can only worry dryly.

The maid who originally accompanied the Shen sisters knew the sisters' personality problems and often said one thing to their faces and another behind their backs. She had taken advantage of the Shen sisters in many ways.

Gradually, the little maids who accompanied the Shen sisters were gradually driven away by Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen didn't feel relieved until Shen Fuyu appeared.

Shen Fuyu thought for a moment and quickly realized what Madam Shen meant. His expression changed slightly and his heart sank.

The Shen family may really be in crisis.

Otherwise, Mrs. Shen would not have given her such a precious token.

Nanny Li would not just say nothing and condone Madam Shen's actions.

What on earth could have driven the usually strong Madam Shen to this point?

Shen Fuyu lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.

Shen Mengwu excitedly told Mrs. Shen about the interesting things that happened in the school, including Murong Yue being beaten. Of course, Shen Mengwu did not foolishly say that it was them who did it, but just said that someone disliked Murong Yue.

Time passed by little by little, and Mrs. Shen couldn't help but yawn.

Nanny Li took the opportunity to speak, "Miss, Miss, Madam has just taken medicine and is inevitably a little tired. Why don't you come and accompany Madam tomorrow so that she can have a good rest first."

"Okay." The Shen sisters left reluctantly, "Mother, take care of yourself. We'll come see you tomorrow."

"Get well soon, then we can go out and play as a family of three."

The innocent words of her little daughter rang in her ears, and Mrs. Shen's eyes turned red unconsciously.

Looking at the backs of the Shen sisters leaving, tears flowed down her cheeks and Mrs. Shen's face was full of pain.

"Madam." Nanny Li was extremely distressed and reached out to wipe away Madam Shen's tears. "If only we could find out about the master as soon as possible, then Madam wouldn't have to work so hard to shoulder everything."

"Mammy, I dare not give in, let alone compromise."

"A Ning and A Wu finally got back on track. I can't let them down. I have to hold up the sky for them."

Mrs. Shen's eyes were slightly red, but her eyes were full of tenacity.

Females are weak, but mothers are strong.

Even though they all threatened Mrs. Shen, she never gave in or compromised.

"Alas." Nanny Li couldn't help but sigh, "If only, if the young lady hadn't encountered this kind of thing, then the young lady would still be a talented girl at this time. Even if the master wasn't in Qinchuan City, they would never dare to force Madam."

Madam Shen and Nanny Li couldn't help but think of Shen Mengning before she was eight years old.

Shen Mengning could speak eloquently at the age of three, and could write poems at the age of five. She was highly praised by Master Shangguan, who even boasted that Shen Mengning would definitely become the youngest top scholar.

During that period, the Shen family was so prosperous.

Who dares to give Madam Shen a bad face? Who dares to make Madam Shen angry?

Excellent offspring are an indispensable condition for a family's prosperity.

Shen Mengning is no longer outstanding. Some people feel sorry for her, but more people are gloating over her misfortune.

Before Madam Shen and Nanny Li had time to feel sorry for themselves, Shen Fuyu knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Shen Fuyu pushed open the door and respectfully placed the bracelet on the table. "Madam, if you have any instructions, just tell me directly."

Even though he already had some guesses in his mind, Shen Fuyu decided to make things clear with Mrs. Shen.

The lady rubbed her brows with a headache, but before she could say anything, Nanny Li accused her first.

"Shen Fuyu, Madam is willing to give the bracelet to you because it shows her trust in you. Don't be ungrateful!" Nanny Li was extremely angry.

Many people wanted the token, but Mrs. Shen never handed it over. Yet, Shen Fuyu actually dared to return it.
