Did She Just Find the Chief of the Court of Judicial Review a Mother?

The doctor carefully took her pulse before saying, "About five months! I can't say for sure, it could be six months."

Shen Jiamu was swaying precariously. Six months?

He'd only been with Shen Yulan for three months; where would he get a child this big?

Zhou Wanwan was in a great mood.

She clapped her hands, now that she had finally seen the whole play, and exclaimed, "Perfect! Sister Yumei, come with me!"

Shen Yumei followed Zhou Wanwan away, looking down at Zhou Wanwan and saying, "Wanwan, you're really amazing!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"I'm not that great, it's just that Shen Jiamu is such a scoundrel. You should stay at my place!"

The Shen Clan is bound to make some moves soon, so be careful. Also, your parents will definitely come looking for you.

There are biased parents everywhere, but the degree of bias shown by Shen Yumei's parents is quite unusual.

Zhou Wanwan felt that something was wrong.

She looked at the Old Scholar Tree and said, "Go and investigate what's wrong with Shen Yumei's family. I suspect Shen Yumei isn't actually from their family."

This timeline is quite long, taking more than twenty years.

Fortunately, the Shen Clan still has many old trees that are decades old.

The Old Scholar Tree chatted with the other old trees, and the other old trees said:

"You mean that girl Yumei? She wasn't originally from the Shen Clan. The Shen Clan couldn't have any children, so they had her brought back from outside."

As for where this child came from, we have no idea.

The Old Scholar Tree never expected that Shen Yumei was not actually a member of the Shen Clan.

After searching along the street again and again, the Old Scholar Tree finally found a crooked tree on the street corner.

The crooked tree looked at him and said:

"You mean that child? That child used to live in the yard next door."

Then one night, someone entered the yard and stole the child. The parents were heartbroken.

His family is doing well now; the husband is now the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. It's a pity their daughter has been missing for so many years and still hasn't been found.

Zhou Wanwan's lips curled slightly as she said, "The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review? Hehehe, how amusing this is!"

The next morning, to everyone's surprise, the wife of the Minister of Court of Judicial Review arrived.

She looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "I heard that you helped find a lady's young master, so I wanted to see if I could find my daughter too."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Of course, but it will cost five thousand taels of silver."

The lady immediately pulled out five thousand taels of silver and said:

I've been looking for my precious baby for over twenty years, but I still haven't found him.

I don't really have any particular thoughts, I just want to know if she's doing well.

Zhou Wanwan took the money, and after a long while, she sighed and said, "I have bad news..."

The woman sat on the stool, her face deathly pale, and said, "She... is she dead? Waaah... my poor daughter!"

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said:

"He's not dead, it's not as serious as you say, but it's not much better than death."

Let me explain the situation to you first, so you can be mentally prepared.

Shen Yumei sat behind the screen, Zhou Wanwan looked at the lady and said:

"Your daughter is divorced, do you look down on her?"

If you dislike her, then don't go looking for her. After all, divorcing your husband's family doesn't look good on your reputation.

The lady suddenly stood up and said:

"That's my daughter, how could I possibly dislike her?"

Tell me where she is right now, I'll come get her right away.

Zhou Wanwan smiled at the lady and said, "You really don't mind your daughter?"

The lady shook her head and said:

"I swear, I will never despise my daughter. I've been thinking about her for over 20 years."

I'll do anything as long as she comes back.

Zhou Wanwan said, "Then I have good news for you, your daughter is living with me now."

They saw Shen Yumei walk out from inside. The woman looked at Shen Yumei, tears streaming down her face, "She looks... she looks exactly like your grandmother, sob sob... my daughter, my daughter!"

Zhou Wanwan suddenly laughed. Wasn't this like finding a mother for the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?

Shen Yumei also cried uncontrollably; she never expected that she wasn't the Shen Clan's biological daughter.

Madam Jiang touched Shen Yumei's face and said:

I really didn't expect you to have suffered so much.

Don't worry, if your father finds out, he won't let the Shen Clan off the hook, and he certainly won't let Shen Jiamu either.

Just as Shen Jiamu was mentioned, Zheng Xing'an walked in and said, "Miss, Shen Jiamu is outside. He said he wants to see Shen Yumei, and Shen Yumei's parents are also outside."

Madam Jiang frowned and said, "Wasn't the divorce agreement signed? What are these people doing here?"

Zhou Wanwan said, "Of course they don't want to pay this money; they're trying to renege on their debt. Let's go out and see what they'll say today."

Madam Jiang nodded.

As soon as Shen Yumei stepped outside, her mother looked at her and said:

"Yumei! Your sister went into premature labor yesterday and lost the baby. Don't hold it against her."

She's had a very hard life, please forgive her!

Shen Yumei looked at them and said, "I didn't do anything to her, so how do you expect me to let her go?"

Shen's mother looked at her earnestly and said:

We're all sisters, why be so formal?

When the time comes, you can give up your position as the principal wife and become a concubine. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Shen Jiamu has already told us that he will treat you two sisters equally well.

Shen Yumei was genuinely amused and exasperated. What parent would make such a demand of their daughter?

Shen Yumei looked at them and said, "I'm afraid I'm not your biological daughter, am I?"

Mrs. Shen was taken aback, and looked at her suspiciously, saying, "What do you mean, not her biological daughter? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Jiamu coughed and said:

"Yumei, stop being so childish and come back with me right now."

I've already told you, you're the only one I've ever loved.

You're going back. Your treatment will be the same as before, and you'll still be in charge, just like before.

Oh my! What a big face!

Madam Jiang's face flushed with anger, and Zhou Wanwan tugged at her, saying, "Don't rush, wait a little longer."

Shen Yumei scoffed coldly:

"You're really delusional. Let me go back to your housekeeper."

"You two are having a great time out there, what are you Spring and Autumn Annals of?"

Mr. Shen looked at her coldly and said, "If you don't agree, we'll say you're unfilial and that you're abusing the elderly."

Shen Yumei trembled with anger, and Madam Jiang was even more furious:

You shameless bunch, you really have no shame.

So, just because your daughter isn't yours, you can bully her with impunity?

Shen's mother looked at her speechlessly and said, "Who do you think you are? It's none of your business to interfere in our family affairs."

Madam Jiang looked at her and said, "My husband will be here soon. You'll find out who I am in a bit."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review rushed over from outside.

When the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review saw Zhou Wanwan, he was taken aback and said, "What, it's you again, you little brat? You're everywhere. I've seen you several times since you came to the capital."
