After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 119 Jiang Mianmian scolds Shen Xiujue for being an idiot, and Shen Xiujue writes a letter to

His face was full of helplessness: Mother, you really don't need to keep emphasizing this point! In just two days, you've repeated this so many times, my poor ears are almost numb from all your nagging!

Sigh, if his mother didn't truly care about him, why would she keep nagging him so tirelessly?

The fact that he keeps talking about it shows that his mother truly cares about him, which is why she can't let go of him.

Look at the situation now. His mother said she would never interfere with him again, but in the blink of an eye, she has started to "control" him again.

They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Even her expression is unpredictable, like the weather in June—it can change in an instant!

When he first heard his mother nagging like this, he felt genuinely nervous and uneasy. However, after hearing similar things so often, Gu Yunchen has now become numb and indifferent to them.

He was utterly at a loss when faced with his somewhat "childish" mother. In the past two days, he had secretly observed her closely, trying to determine if she possessed any kind of witchcraft or poison.

To this end, he even racked his brains to come up with various reasons to find someone to give his mother a series of detailed examinations.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried to investigate, they still couldn't find anything unusual or wrong about their mother.

Now a question arises, a big question mark appears in Gu Yunchen's mind—why exactly is it that he can hear his mother's innermost thoughts so clearly?

In that instant, without warning, the words Shen Xiujin had once said suddenly popped into his mind.

"We absolutely did not deceive you!"

What good would it do us to lie to you?

Why won't you believe it?

But can he really believe something like this?

Can he really choose to believe it so easily? After all, this whole thing sounds so bizarre, absurd, and unbelievable!

Unbeknownst to him, an indescribable fear, like a chilling wind, crept up his spine.

If the special ability his mother possessed was indeed real, then... how many secrets in this world are still unknown to him?

Is my mother's ability truly the legendary "golden finger" (or something similar)? Or is there more to it than meets the eye...?

Thinking of this, Gu Yunchen's doubts deepened, and he almost couldn't suppress his impulse to report the matter directly to the Emperor.

But then he thought that he did not yet have conclusive evidence. If he acted rashly, he might not only fail to uncover the truth, but also bring unnecessary trouble or even disaster upon himself.

So, after a fierce internal struggle, he finally managed to suppress the thought that was about to burst forth from his heart.

………………

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Gu Yunchen found Shen Xiujin and asked him directly about Jiang Mianmian's golden finger.

Shen Xiujin, who had been lounging lazily in his chair, instantly turned serious upon hearing this. He straightened up, stared directly at Gu Yunchen, and said in a deep voice:

"Oh ho, so you finally believe this now? I think you're quite capable! The first time you took your mother and sister-in-law out, you actually managed to run into something like the 'mad horse disaster'."

Thankfully, my mother and sister-in-law are lucky and unharmed; otherwise, my eldest brother would probably be at your door with a big knife by now, ready to kill you!

Facing Shen Xiujin's sarcastic remarks, Gu Yunchen ignored them and asked directly without changing his expression: "Have you found out exactly how far the scope of Mother's voice can reach?"

He vaguely remembered that Shen Xiujin had mentioned before that not everyone could hear their mother's innermost thoughts. Otherwise, how could they have felt at ease letting him take Jiang Mianmian out with him today?

Shen Xiujin frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied, "Well... it's not very clear at the moment, but it can be basically determined that, apart from our own family members..."

In other words, only those closely related to our family can hear this. Like my sister-in-law's family, Zhou Jingyao, and her relatives, etc.

When Shen Xiujin mentioned Zhou Jingyao, he paused for a moment and then continued, "However, there is one fact that is certain: usually, the people who can hear their mother's inner voice are the victims."

Those with malicious intentions and perpetrators of harm are generally incapable of perceiving such things...

Only now did Gu Yunchen finally let out a sigh of relief. If only the victim possessed such a special ability, that would be alright; at least the situation wouldn't become too dire.

But if even those with wicked intentions could hear his mother's thoughts, then his mother's personal safety would truly be in grave danger. Just thinking about this made Gu Yunchen's scalp tingle.

So he quickly suggested to Shen Xiujin, "I hope you can recruit more guards, especially around Mother. You must arrange for several highly skilled martial artists to protect her closely."

In this way, no matter when, where, or what kind of emergency they encounter, they can react quickly and handle it properly.

Gu Yunchen himself stated that he would not easily leave the Marquis's residence for the time being. He needed to observe for a period of time to understand how his mother's current special situation would develop and evolve.

"You can make your own decisions; you don't need to tell us. But please trust me, you can rest assured about things concerning Mother."

Since that "crazy horse accident," my mother has taken care of everything perfectly.

How could we not make arrangements?

After all, even Gu Yunchen himself had become acquainted with such a ruthless and bloodthirsty female assassin. Heaven knows how unpredictable and bizarre things will unfold next.

What if Gu Yunchen accidentally blurts out something, or what if the female assassin somehow manages to find out about the Marquis's mansion?

Then, what if that female assassin comes storming over, determined to settle scores with their whole family?

Just thinking about this possible scenario made Jiang Mianmian restless and unable to eat or sleep, tossing and turning in bed.

Even if someone specially cooks her favorite dishes, she has no interest in them at all, and feels that those delicious dishes don't smell good anymore.

A few days later, Jiang Mianmian urged Shen Xiujin to spend a lot of money to hire and recruit a full fifty guards.

These guards were all highly skilled and had exceptional martial arts abilities. With their addition, the security of the Marquis's residence was greatly enhanced.

Not only that, Jiang Mianmian also insisted on equipping each person with at least four personal guards to protect them at all times.

Since the two brothers, Shen Xiuyan and Shen Xiujin, understood the reasons behind this, they did not show much surprise or dissatisfaction, after all, they all valued their lives.

However, Shen Xiuyu, who was far away, and his children at home were all stunned and completely baffled when they received the large number of guards sent from their home.

Shen Xiuyu, in particular, was so angry that he stomped his feet, thinking that his mother had deliberately sent someone to spy on him.

He gritted his teeth and complained angrily, "Has Mother gone mad? She suddenly sent more than twenty guards to protect us!"

If I go out with so many people like this, won't people think we're some kind of nouveau riche? Wouldn't we be laughed at? Where would I put my face then!

Immediately, with a furious expression, he picked up a pen and wrote a resentful letter to Jiang Mianmian in a flamboyant handwriting. Every word revealed his strong dissatisfaction with Jiang Mianmian.

However, unexpectedly, just a few days later, he received another letter of reprimand from Jiang Mianmian.

When he unfolded the letter, he saw sharp and scathing words written on it: "You idiot! Don't you know anything? Nowadays, many kidnappers who are short of money like to target brainless fools like you."

That's practically a guaranteed hit! If you don't want to suffer misfortune because of your foolish actions, being kidnapped or even killed by those vicious kidnappers.

"Then wherever you go, you must take those people with you at all times, understand?"

"If you dare to disobey me, and one day you're unlucky enough to be kidnapped, don't blame me for being ruthless and refusing to help you. I won't give you a single penny to ransom you; you can just wait to be thrown into the river to feed the fish!"

"And besides, if you weren't my biological son, do you think I'd care about you? Your older brothers don't have any complaints, so why are you making such a fuss and blah blah blah with your scolding…"

Seeing this, Shen Xiuyu thought indignantly, "What kind of logic is this? Why should I be controlled by others at every turn?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he decided to ask his two older brothers for help. Without hesitation, Shen Xiuyu spread out some paper and began to write furiously, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances and anger in his heart.

In his letter, Shen Xiujue described in detail Jiang Mianmian's excessive behavior, writing a long and detailed account.

He implored his eldest and second eldest brothers to discipline their mother, criticizing her for being too idle and thus allowing her to interfere in his life so brazenly. He then wrote a three-page tirade of complaints…
