Upon seeing his sister's matted hair and dirty body, Shen Chengzu initially felt pity for her. However, after hearing her words, any sense of compassion he felt vanished into thin air. His usual clumsiness left him unsure of what to say.

But Mrs. Lu was different. As soon as she heard Shen Yuzhu's words, she spat, "Aren't you also a burden, the biggest burden in the Shen family! Even if you died, my daughter could live for another hundred years!"

The mere thought of a newborn child being cursed to death upon her first outing from home was enough to give anyone bad luck!

To chase away this bad luck, Mrs. Lu loudly spat several times.

The emperor had already confiscated the family's property, why didn't he just execute them too? Why is it always the good people who die young, while the evil ones live on! In her frustration, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but think these thoughts.
