Transmigrated as the Evil Stepmother, I Bully the Whole Family, Yay! Chapter 186

Shen Wen and Shen Wu knew why their grandfather had been exiled—they had overheard everything during their parents' argunt.

Because of this, they harbored hatred toward the Lin family and Nan Sheng. People tend to be more forgiving toward their own relatives, shifting bla onto others instead.

They began spreading rumors about Nan Sheng among their friends, claiming that Lin Sizhe’s mother was a committee director who had committed many wrongs, even arresting her own relatives.

Since the Lin family had arrived later, their friends sympathized with the Shen siblings, who seized the opportunity to suggest teaching Lin Sizhe a lesson.

Of course, Shen Wen wasn’t foolish. He knew this couldn’t be hidden from the adults. Once he and his sister didn’t return ho by nightfall, their family would quickly figure out where they were.

To avenge their grandfather, a beating was worth it—but now, it seed they had brought even greater trouble upon their family.

Nan Sheng spoke with clear logic, and everything she said was true. Regint Leader Shen couldn’t refute her, but he refused to accept the accusation of being complicit in wrongdoing.

Ding Xiang, married to him for years, understood his thoughts perfectly. With her own family already fallen from grace, she had to protect her husband’s reputation.

With reddened eyes, she said, "You’re right, sister-in-law. It was my uncle and father’s greed that led to their downfall. But I swear, I never knew about it before. You can’t just slander us out of anger!"

Nan Sheng wasn’t intimidated. She imdiately turned the tables, using their own words against them.

"Oh, so your sons can slander , but I can’t even make a reasonable guess? The Shen family certainly has its own twisted logic."

Regint Leader Shen remained relatively calm. To clear his na, he decided to report the matter to his superiors.

"I will personally report this to leadership and request an investigation. Rest assured, sister-in-law, I, Shen Yuxing, walk the straight path. I would never stray into corruption."

Most people still believed him on this matter. A regint leader’s salary was more than enough to support a family comfortably—there was no need to invite trouble.

Nan Sheng didn’t dwell on it. She revealed her second purpose for coming.

"Do ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍whatever you want. I don’t care. What I care about is how you’ll handle the fact that Sizhe and Siqi were injured!"

By now, the Shen family had beco a laughingstock. Seeing Nan Sheng’s relentless pressure, Ding Xiang raised her voice in frustration.

"What do you want? Should we tie Shen Wen and Shen Wu to a tree for hours too? Or beat them up?"

The two boys trembled at the thought. Another beating? That would be the death of them…

Nan Sheng knew it wouldn’t be appropriate to lay hands on children in front of so many regint families. She wanted revenge but couldn’t afford to be seen as bullying the weak.

"Shen Wen and Shen Wu have already paid a price. I won’t lay a hand on them today. But my children are waiting for my answer—I can’t just do nothing.

"Here’s my proposal: you two discuss which one of you will take the punishnt in their place. After all, ‘to spare the rod is to spoil the child.’ As parents, you bear responsibility too."

She deliberately emphasized the last words. Hua Fen nearly blurted out an expletive—was she really going this far?

If this escalated, the two regints led by Deputy Regint Leader Lin and Regint Leader Shen would beco sworn enemies!

She tugged cautiously at Nan Sheng’s sleeve, trying to warn her of the severe consequences, but Nan Sheng ignored her.

Hua Fen was frantic. She wished she could teleport ho and fetch her husband, Zhang Hengyi—this situation was far beyond her control.

In fact, no one present had expected things to go this way.

Nan Sheng even played the victim card. "Everyone knows I’m a stepmother. It’s not an easy role—the slightest neglect invites gossip. So today, I must demand justice for my children. I’m sure Regint Leader Shen understands my position, right?"

Ding Xiang thought she was hearing things. Was Nan Sheng out of her mind? "Aren’t you afraid the military leadership will hold you accountable for this? You’ll ruin your husband’s career!"

Nan Sheng scoffed. "Why should I be afraid? The fault lies with you. I’m only seeking justice for my children. The leadership is fair—they won’t bla .

"I suggest you take responsibility willingly. Don’t force to lose my temper—things will get much uglier."

"Fine. I’ll take the punishnt in their place!"

Regint Leader Shen appeared calm, but in truth, he had no other choice. From the mont Nan Sheng arrived, he had been on the defensive. She had prepared too thoroughly.

But he still had his pride. He would never let a woman lay hands on him.

So when Regint Leader Xu was summoned and handed a heavy leather belt, he froze.

"What’s this for?"

Had his wife’s sharp tongue driven Regint Leader Shen to self-flagellation?

"Co on, Shen, this isn’t necessary."

Regint Leader Shen gave him a look. "Just do it. Don’t stop until sister-in-law is satisfied."

Sister-in-law? Oh, not his wife—Deputy Regint Leader Lin’s wife was even fiercer.

By then, Regint Leader Shen had untied his sons from the gate. He braced himself against it, bending slightly, his back to the crowd.

"Go on, Xu. Hit !"

Regint Leader Xu: Soone save !

Why were all the other brothers hiding inside watching this spectacle? So annoying!

Seeing his hesitation, Nan Sheng eagerly offered, "Should I do it instead? If Regint Leader Xu hits too hard and leaves you bedridden, I’d be at fault."

Regint Leader Shen imdiately turned his head, pleading silently with Regint Leader Xu. "Save so dignity. If she does it, I’ll have to resign tomorrow!"

With no other choice, Regint Leader Xu swung the belt. Once, twice, thrice…

Ten minutes later, Regint Leader Shen’s back was a ss of bruises and swelling.

Regint Leader Xu was on the verge of tears. "Sister-in-law, should I keep going?"

"Try aiming sowhere else."

Nan Sheng’s suggestion was anything but rciful. Her children had suffered for hours—she wouldn’t let the Shen family off easily.

When Nan Sheng returned ho by bicycle, Siqi was indeed running a fever, but thankfully, dicine was administered in ti.

Zhang Hengyi asked his wife, "What took you so long? Did sothing happen?"

Hua Fen didn’t answer imdiately. After bidding Nan Sheng farewell, she dragged her husband back ho. "Sothing huge happened today. Regint Leader Shen was beaten—can you believe it?"

That sister-in-law was truly leadership material. She never relented, forcing Regint Leader Xu to keep swinging.

By the end, the entire Shen family was in tears…
