Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Chapter 21 Heavenly Punishment

Shen Qingyao stared at Shen Yuanyuan with murderous intent in her eyes, and the murderous intent in her heart gradually turned into action.

Shen Qingyao raised her hand and bit her finger, her hands quickly forming hand seals while she chanted incantations.

Without anyone seeing it, an extremely complex emergency response gradually took shape.

Shen Qingyao's eyes were sharp, and she injected Ying Ji into Shen Yuanyuan's body without hesitation.

Before anyone could react to what Shen Qingyao was doing, Shen Yuanyuan collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, as if she had suffered a very serious internal injury.

Everyone present immediately realized that Shen Qingyao was no ordinary person; she possessed a skill that ordinary people did not have.

As Shen Yuanyuan fell to the ground, Shen Qingyao gradually calmed down. The murderous intent in her eyes dissipated, and the raging anger in her heart subsided.

Her killing of Shen Yuanyuan will inevitably cause trouble for Si Jingnian.

Even if he is the young marshal, she killed Shen Yuanyuan in front of everyone, and even Si Jingnian could not protect her.

Just then, Si Jingnian arrived late, appearing on the second floor with a middle-aged man.

Seeing the chaotic scene downstairs, Si Jingnian's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition rose in his mind. He hurriedly went downstairs.

"what happened?"

When Shen Qingyao saw Si Jingnian, she had a guilty expression on her face. Just as she was about to explain, she realized that something was wrong with her body.

Before she could speak, a jolt of electric pain instantly swept through her body, and Shen Qingyao coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Before she fainted, her only thought was that she didn't understand why her murderous intent towards Shen Yuanyuan would trigger divine punishment, unless she was related to Shen Yuanyuan by blood.

Shen Qingyao vomited blood and fainted, and the scene instantly turned into chaos. Si Jingnian subconsciously caught the falling Shen Qingyao, and his expression became panicked.

Shen Qingyao's condition made Si Jingnian suspect that she had been poisoned, and his eyes instantly turned terrifyingly gloomy.

"Ye Liangchen, take some men and surround the scene. Don't let a single person escape. Investigate everything she ate here!"

After saying this, Si Jingnian picked up the unconscious Shen Qingyao and rushed out.

The car sped to the hospital in Nancheng, and it wasn't until Shen Qingyao was brought into the emergency room that Si Jingnian realized his hands were trembling.

He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Shen Qingyao, but he knew very clearly that he couldn't let anything happen to her.

He was the one who wronged Shen Qingyao, marrying her as a way to bring her good luck on his deathbed.

She saved him without holding a grudge and even helped him find the person who had cursed him.

During this period, although he and Shen Qingyao were not exactly close, he was not annoyed by her at all, and had even gotten used to her being around him every day.

When Shen Qingyao vomited blood and fainted, he couldn't help but feel panicked. This feeling was somewhat unfamiliar to him, but he didn't find it offensive.

Si Jingnian only breathed a sigh of relief when news came from the emergency room that Shen Qingyao was out of danger.

In the ward, Shen Qingyao leaned weakly against the headboard, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Are you alright? Your sudden vomiting of blood scared me... scared my mom and me to death."

When Si Jingnian saw that Shen Qingyao's face was so pale that it had no color in it, he felt a little worried.

"I'm fine, it's just divine punishment. Is Shen Yuanyuan still alive?"

Shen Qingyao already had the answer in her heart. The fact that she would suffer divine punishment for killing Shen Yuanyuan could only prove that Shen Yuanyuan was related to her by blood.

Her injuries aren't too serious now, which means the divine punishment isn't severe either.

Heavenly punishment is not human and would not show her any mercy. Since the punishment is not severe now, there can only be one explanation: Shen Yuanyuan did not die at her hands.

"Yes. Ye Liangchen just sent word that Shen Yuanyuan was only seriously injured, not dead."

"But what about this... divine punishment you mentioned?"

Si Jingnian knew Shen Qingyao's abilities and had no doubt about her words, but he was completely unfamiliar with these things.

“Heavenly punishment is the punishment that Heaven gives me. We who study the Tao are actually governed by the Tao. We can tell other people’s fortunes, but we cannot tell our own fate, nor can we see through the fate of our blood relatives.”

"Similarly, although we may have some skills that ordinary people do not have to protect ourselves, there are also limitations. We cannot touch those who have accumulated merit, and we generally cannot touch ordinary people either, unless the other party is an evil person."

"We cannot see through the fate of our blood relatives, nor can we kill them, otherwise we will be punished by heaven."

"The divine punishment I received this time was not severe, which proves that Shen Yuanyuan is not dead."

Shen Qingyao let out a long sigh after speaking, her eyes lowered as if she were lost in thought.

"But isn't Shen Yuanyuan an adopted daughter of the Shen family? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be receiving this divine punishment."

Si Jingnian looked thoughtful, his eyes filled with confusion.

"This is also what puzzles me. Shen Yuanyuan used such a vicious drug on me. Even if I tried to kill her, I shouldn't be punished by heaven. The only explanation is that she and I are related."

Shen Qingyao's expression was very solemn. She had never thought that Shen Yuanyuan was related to her by blood.

"Si Jingnian, could you help me find out who Shen Yuanyuan's biological parents are?"

Shen Qingyao had a few guesses in her mind, but she still needed to verify them one by one. The one most capable of doing this was undoubtedly Si Jingnian, who held great power.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll find out for you."

Si Jingnian agreed without hesitation, his eyes filled with obvious concern.

Shen Qingyao was somewhat surprised that Si Jingnian agreed so readily, and couldn't help but pause for a moment.

……

While Shen Qingyao was recuperating in the hospital, a group of people stormed into her ward.

Shen Yanming pushed Shen Yuanyuan into the ward, his face full of anger, as if he had come to settle scores. Behind them was another man.

Shen Qingyao's gaze fell on the man, and she gave a mocking sneer.

Shen Yanting, her older brother.

Shen Yanting works at a police station in the Chengxi District of Nancheng, where he is the chief of the Chengxi District Police Station.

He always acted with the principle of 'fairness' in mind, but in his sense, fairness meant not letting Shen Yuanyuan be bullied or taken advantage of.

Even though he often knew that she was the one being wronged, he still chose to protect Shen Yuanyuan.

His talk of fairness is nothing more than an excuse for his double standards and biases.

He hasn't appeared since she was reborn, not even on her wedding day.

It seems that her good older brother finally couldn't resist coming back to support Shen Yuanyuan.

“Shen Qingyao, Yuanyuan said that you seriously injured her. We questioned everyone who was present at the time, and they all testified that you injured Yuanyuan.”

Shen Yanting was dressed in a dignified police uniform, with a stern face that gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

When Shen Qingyao, who had been reborn, saw Shen Yanting again, she no longer felt the fear and dread she had in her previous life; all that remained was endless disgust.

"Really? So Director Shen is here to arrest me? Are you planning to sentence me to a few years? Or just execute me?"

Shen Qingyao met Shen Yanting's gaze without the slightest fear. Her eyes showed no fear or dread, nor even the former admiration and worship she once had.

"What did they say? They said I raised my hand and made a few gestures, and that these gestures seriously injured Shen Yuanyuan?"

"Shen Yanting, haven't you always said to reject feudal superstition and believe in science? How come you believe in this kind of supernatural power now?"

"Or do you not care how Shen Yuanyuan got hurt? You'll believe her as long as she says I hurt her?"

Shen Qingyao's questioning left Shen Yanting speechless. He never imagined that his younger sister, who had always been so timid and submissive in front of him, would question him so loudly and logically today.

Caught off guard, Shen Yanting was at a loss for words. He hesitated for a moment but couldn't utter a single sentence.
