Wang Hehua had been watching Li Yueshu, so she didn't notice anyone else.
With a sorrowful expression, she said, "Miss Li, perhaps the Shen Wei brother you know is not his true self. I am the one most suited for him!"
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Li Yueshu narrowed her eyes slightly. "What do you mean the Shen Wei I know is not his true self?"
Wang Hehua lowered her head, adopting an expression of "I have a secret, but I cannot tell." She mumbled vaguely, "I understand Shen Wei brother better than you do. I am the one more suited for him."
Li Yueshu pursed her lips, glanced at Chai Yang beside her, and suddenly asked, "Have you seen his face?"
Wang Hehua looked up in disbelief. "How did you know..."
Before she could finish, she quickly covered her mouth, looking panicked.
Seeing this, Li Yueshu suddenly understood why Qin Moyuan was the one saved, and Wang Hehua was the one who offered to repay the kindness.
Qin Moyuan's face indeed had the power to attract admirers.
Chai Yang, who had been listening all along, suddenly understood everything.
He looked at Wang Hehua with some pity. "Miss, there is something I may need to explain to you."
"Although I don't know how you learned of this, I was ordered to help your family's business because you helped my master. Yet, my master didn't even know your name."
Hearing him speak, Wang Hehua's gaze finally turned to him, vaguely feeling that this person looked somewhat familiar.
Coupled with his words, Wang Hehua finally realized.
This was the man she had seen before who had helped her family secure several major business deals!
She had frequently seen this man's presence back then and specifically inquired with their business partners. She learned that someone was helping their family's business in return for a past favor. At that time, the only person her family had a favor with was Shen Wei.
Later, when she went to the Shen family to inquire with Shen Wei, it was Shen's mother who said that Shen Wei brother fancied her. Thus, she brazenly brought up the matter of engagement.
Chai Yang paid no mind to her reaction. He secretly glanced at Li Yueshu behind him and continued, "The business deals I helped your family secure, while not making you incredibly wealthy, would ensure you a comfortable life without worry for your lifetime."
"This is the reward for saving my master. However, if you covet what is not yours, what my master can give you, he can certainly take back double."
Upon his return, he had heard from Xinghe about this woman and guessed the reason for his master's punishment. He certainly would not follow in those footsteps.
Li Yueshu raised an eyebrow slightly at these words.
So, it was all Wang Hehua's wishful thinking?
She looked at Wang Hehua's pale face and felt inexplicably better.
"In fact, from the very beginning, going to Shen Wei would have been more useful than coming to me," Li Yueshu suddenly said, her words confusing Wang Hehua.
Li Yueshu leaned against the carriage wall, her posture leisurely. "I have already divorced Shen Wei. He left with nothing, and the children are under my name. If you wanted to be with him, you never needed my consent."
Wang Hehua was stunned, her expression one of hearing things. "Wh-what?"
Li Yueshu gave a sarcastic smile, ignored her further, and looked away.
Seeing this, Chai Yang pulled on the reins and shifted the direction of the carriage.
Before leaving, he glanced at Wang Hehua. "If my master had known you had seen his true face, he would have certainly not sent me to help your family's business. On the contrary, he would have silenced you!"
However, since his master was now recovering his identity and returning to Chongzhou, he no longer cared that she had seen his true face.
The last two words were spoken by Chai Yang with killing intent. Wang Hehua, frightened, instinctively took a step back.
She looked frantically at the carriage moving away, but no longer had the courage to stop it.
Li Yueshu divorced Shen Wei brother?
Then why was Shen Wei brother still by her side?
And he would silence her...
At that moment, she suddenly remembered the look Shen Wei brother gave her the last time she saw him.
Had he intended to kill her then?!
Her understanding of the past two years was completely overturned. Wang Hehua returned to the village as if she had lost her soul.
Shen Wang had been waiting at the door. Seeing her return, he quickly ran over. "How did it go? What did that Li Yueshu say?"
Wang Hehua's expression was dazed. Looking at Shen Wang's expectant eyes, she couldn't utter a word.
Seeing her state, Shen's mother guessed, "Did it fail again?"
She was not surprised by this outcome at all.
Whether it was Shen Wei or Li Yueshu, neither was easy to deal with. Especially the restored Shen Wei, who always gave her a feeling of unease.
Wang Hehua had been staying at the Shen family for so long and naturally knew their animosity towards the third branch.
But thinking of what she had heard today, her face turned even paler. "Stop trying to trouble... Shen Wei brother anymore. You are no match for them."
"What do you mean by that!" Shen Wang's temper flared. "You said yourself you would only marry Shen Wei. We are helping you, why are you speaking up for him!"
His shout jolted Wang Hehua back to reality. She looked at him unhappily. "Are you helping me? You just want to use me to break up Shen Wei and Li Yueshu and gain benefits from the third branch!"
She wasn't stupid. She had merely ignored their petty schemes because she wanted to be with Shen Wei.
But the words of Li Yueshu and that man today suddenly enlightened her.
She was indeed infatuated with Shen Wei's true appearance and coveted his hidden power. Even now, the thought of that face still made her heart flutter.
But if she failed, and he took everything back, making her worse off than before...
No, she didn't want to gamble on that possibility!
Wang Hehua suddenly became clear-headed, but Shen Wang remained confused. "Shen Wei is my own brother, yet he cut ties with us for that Li Yueshu. His actions are unrighteous and unfilial!"
Wang Hehua frowned, her expression complicated.
After a moment of hesitation, she finally told the truth. "Shen Wei is your brother, but he is not Shen Wei."
According to the man's words today, Shen Wei no longer seemed to care about his identity being exposed, so he would definitely not tolerate the Shen family's incessant demands.
The Wang and Shen families were relatives after all, and Shen's mother had been genuinely kind to her. She certainly wouldn't pretend to know nothing.
Upon hearing her words, Shen's mother's expression changed. "What do you mean by that?"
Wang Hehua sighed. "When I saved Shen Wei back then, I discovered he was not the real Shen Wei. He was making concessions to you all before to hide his identity."
Saying this, she glanced at Shen Wang, whose expression was still somewhat bewildered. "But now he no longer needs to hide his identity. If you provoke him, he will kill."
Shen Wang's face turned ashen. "You're talking nonsense! How... how could he dare to kill?"
Wang Hehua glanced at him. "In any case, I've given you the reminder I should. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
With that, she ran into the house, appearing eager to distance herself. "I've been here for so long, it's time for me to go. From now on, do not drag me into your affairs with the third branch."
Seeing this, Shen's mother and Shen Wang's expressions changed.
How could this be?
At this moment, Shen's mother suddenly remembered something.
