Once Wan Yīniáng heard that someone from the family of the Minister of Land came, she trembled as she looked outside. Even though she knew that this matter was not of Shen Dong Ling's doing but now all the dirty water was poured onto her. If the Wang family want to pursue the matter, they would definitely start from Shen Dong Ling. Wan Yīniáng had only Shen Dong Ling as daughter so how could her heart not ache, but her words were lowly and carried little weight. Even though she wanted to save Shen Dong Ling from the fire and water, she could not do anything.
Everyone looked at one another before Old Shen Fūrén said, "Invite the people from the Wang family in."
The Wang family's people who came were a dark strong woman and a few maids that were of a rather high status. That dark strong woman's face was originally dark and when she entered through the door, her face was solemn, she had a wide and round waist and made others tremble in fear. It seemed that she was here to attack with condemnations.
Upon seeing Wan Yīniáng crying on the floor in the Shen Residence, she was not even moved by it and everyone had been made aware of that. Old Shen Fūrén frowned and just as she wanted to speak, one heard that dark strong woman saying, "One dare to ask where is Wan Yīniáng of the Second Household?"
Wan Yīniáng's heart jumped in shock and the more despair she felt, the more Chen Rou Qiu, on the other hand, was relieved. If the other party took it out on Wan Yīniáng then the Shen family would definitely not protect her. Chen Rou Qiu's heart kept thinking to torture this pair of mother and daughter to death, as they dared to set their crooked minds on Shen Yue. This was simply intolerable.
Thinking about this, Chen Rou Qiu went forward with a smile, "Not hiding from Māmā, when one heard about yesterday's residence matter, we were extremely terrified. It is just that our family's Yue-er was wronged for nothing, and your residence's Dà shàoyé must be extremely shocked and angry. With regards to this matter, it is our Shen Residence that did not properly discipline and caused such a big scandal. One wished that after the Lǎoyé and Fūrén of the in-laws got angry, they would calmly think about it. I have already scolded Yue-er for being too trusting. This matter is truly very…"
That dark strong woman did not care for Chen Rou Qiu's words and asked again with a dark expression, "One dare to ask where is Wan Yīniáng of the Second Household?"
Everyone was startled. Chen Rou Qiu did not expect that this woman would actually give her such a face. But upon seeing everyone's expression, she still had to maintain the gentle and demurred everyday look. Moreover, the Wang family were the victims, so it was hard for one to say anything. Old Shen Fūrén said, "The one kneeling on the floor is Madam Wan."
Wan Yīniáng's face was filled with grief and tears, but that dark strong woman surprised everyone by reaching out her hand to help Wan Yīniáng up. Not only was she not impertinent or blaming, but she was also instead rather respectful, "Dà shǎo fūrén misses her Niáng so Dà shàoyé let this servant fetch Wan Yīniáng to the residence of the Minister of Land to stay. This servant especially made this trip, hoping that Old Fūrén would allow it."
When the words were said, everyone in Rong Jing Tang was stunned.
What 'Dà shǎo fūrén misses her Niáng so Dà shàoyé let this servant fetch Wan Yīniáng to the residence of the Minister of Land to stay'?
Who was the Eldest Young Mistress? Who is the mother of the Eldest Young Mistress? Shen Dong Ling? Madam Wan?
Chen Rou Qiu already felt something was not encouraging when the dark strong woman held Wan Yīniáng up and when she heard those words, she almost lost consciousness. Shen Wan's face sank, "What is the meaning of the In-laws actions?"
That dark strong woman was smart to get what she desired and looked at Shen Wan's face before saying puzzled, "This servant does not understand Shen Sān Lǎoyé's words. Could one speak more clearly?"
Shen Wan and Chen Rou Qiu were somewhat irritated at the same time. This woman clearly understood but feigned ignorance, she clearly was aware of everything but acted confused. Could it be that she wanted them to speak about the exchanging of marriage?
Shen Wan and Chen Rou Qiu could not say it out loud, but Old Shen Fūrén did not have such a concern. She was not originally from a big and noble family, thus she did not know how to be embarrassed. Thus she stuck out her neck and said, "The In-laws are not correct with the words. Regarding yesterday's marriage, Sān xiǎojiě and Èr xiǎojiě of our residence were exchanged and since the bride was exchanged, this is the time to discuss how to resolve the matter. How dare a servant like you pretend to be confused?"
When Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Wan wanted to stop Old Shen Fūrén, it had been too late. Old Shen Fūrén always had this ability to always think that she is superior to others and that everyone had to fawn her. Actually, Old Shen Fūrén was somewhat looked down on by the family of the Minister of Land in Shen Yue's marriage as she wanted Shen Yue to marry even higher. But in actual fact, the Wang family's position in court and network were all higher than what Shen Wan currently had. That dark strong woman was a servant on the surface but without the agreement of the Wang family, how would she dare to speak such things to the Shen family? Old Shen Fūrén scolding this servant meant that she was clearly scolding the Wang family. The Wang family would only feel that the Shen family had no eyes and relied on force to bully others.
When the dark strong woman heard the words, indeed she laughed. However, that laugh was rather piercing when it fell into Chen Rou Qiu's and Shen Wan's ears. The dark strong woman said in doubt, "What does Old Fūrén mean by that? Where do one start on the changing of marriage? Yesterday, Dà shàoyé married a wife and the new bride is considerate and sensible, thus, gaining the adoration of the entire Wang Residence. One wonders why Old Fūrén joke about it."
Gained the adoration of the entire Wang Residence? Wan Yīniáng was originally somewhat stunned but after she listened to those words, there was an excitement in her heart. All of a sudden there was a birth of exuberant delight. Her Dong Ling was extremely smart and she had a good temperament and appearance. If she was able to firmly hold on to Wang Bi in one night and had his protection, so what if Shen Yue enter at a later date? Being a concubine was better than being a nun in a nunnery. Moreover, Wan Yīniáng believed that Shen Dong Ling would one day make her mark.
Chen Rou Qiu almost got mad with anger when she heard that. This time she did not care if Old Shen Fūrén words were ruled out and said to the dark strong woman, "What is the exact meaning of the Wang family? If one is angry then just say it directly, why the need of being eccentric? Could it be that one will really treat Sān xiǎojiě as Yue-er?"
Shen Wan frowned and took a look at Chen Rou Qiu in somewhat of a surprise. Chen Rou Qiu's words were nowhere better than Old Shen Fūrén at all. Unless it was only absolutely essential, Shen Wan did not want to offend the Wang family, especially when it was the Shen family that made a mistake in this matter.
That dark strong woman turned towards Chen Rou Qiu, "Shen Sān Fūrén words are strange. What Èr xiǎojiě and Sān xiǎojiě? Yesterday, Dà shàoyé married a wife and the person he married is this residence's Èr xiǎojiě. Èr xiǎojiě is doing very well and there is no saying of any Sān xiǎojiě."
Chen Rou Qiu stood dumbly on the spot.
The meaning of those words was that the Wang Residence recognised Shen Yue's status and identity but the person was instead Shen Dong Ling.
Let Shen Dong Ling live using Shen Yue's identity? What was this! Chen Rou Qiu had almost gone crazy!
Shen Yue, who was standing at the side and dared not speak, finally gave a sigh of relief when she heard those words. What she kept thinking in her heart was to let Shen Dong Ling marry into the Wang family on her behalf, and then paint herself as the victim party and cleanly get off. In the end, the one who would be blamed would be Shen Dong Ling and the one who was at the disadvantage was Wang Bi. She, Shen Yue, would be a free person and perhaps could gain sympathy.
Although the Wang family did not make a ruckus, Shen Yue was somewhat unhappy that Shen Dong Ling did not suffer losses, but Shen Yue was already satisfied that she had completely got rid of this marriage.
Shen Wan's brows wrinkled tightly as this dark strong woman's attitude obviously represented the Wang family's attitude. The Wang family now wanted Shen Dong Ling to live with Shen Yue's identity but what about Shen Yue? The Wang family were not such harsh people normally. Could it be that Shen Dong Ling told Wang Bi something?
Chen Rou Qiu laughed coldly, "Alright then. As you said, the one married into the residence is Èr xiǎojiě, then, I would be Èr xiǎojiě's mother. Then why would Wan Yīniáng be sent over without any rhyme or reason? Do you not think it is somewhat funny to send a Yīniáng over?"
Wan Yīniáng looked towards the woman somewhat fearfully. That woman instead smiled, "It is like this, Dà shǎo fūrén said that even though Wan Yīniáng did not have any blood relations, she has always been very close with her. Now that one had married over to another family, one was not used to it, thus, wanted to bring Wan Yīniáng over for a short stay. Dà shàoyé's heart ached for Dà shǎo fūrén, thus it was allowed."
So many lies that were said without change of expression, and also they managed to slap viciously onto the face of the Third Household, especially on Shen Yue. She initially thought that after Shen Dong Ling married over, the Wang family would despise and make life difficult for Shen Dong Ling as she was a Shu-daughter, but one had not expected that Shen Dong Ling would thrive so well in the Wang family. To her, this was like a great big satire. You did not want to marry into the Wang family right? Sorry! The one that our Eldest Young Master liked was also not you. Eldest Young Mistress was loved and respected and without you, the Wang Residence also lived on well!
Shen Yue bit her teeth and was somewhat irreconcilable. Originally, she tried thousands and hundreds of ways to let Shen Dong Ling replace her, but upon seeing that Shen Dong Ling had perhaps gained the Wang family's favour, Shen Yue was not happy. Humans most likely had a queer heart, even if one did not want something, one would not want others to obtain it easily.
Everyone in the Shen family was stunned. Today, they had expected the Wang family would be furious upon discovering the matter and would look for the Shen Residence to flip out, but they did not expect that the Wang family would have such an attitude. Not only did the Wang family not hate Shen Dong Ling, from the looks of it, but they also were not happy with the Third Household of the Shen family. There was nothing but mocking in the open and in between words.
Chen Rou Qiu still wanted to speak more but was stopped by Shen Wan, "Since that being the case, I will pay a visit personally tomorrow. Before that, one hope that the In-laws would be rational and not be dizzy with anger."
The dark stone woman laughed, "What is Sān Lǎoyé saying? Currently, the residence is bustling and filled with sweetness. Lǎoyé and Fūrén are both happy, and said that your noble residence raised an extremely good daughter. How would one be angry? One fear that Sān Lǎoyé has overthought."
This dark strong woman was also a talent as she could make Shen Wan choke on one sentence. She then patted Wan Yīniáng's hands and smiled as she looked towards Old Shen Fūrén, "This servant will now bring Wan Yīniáng back and hope to have Old Fūrén's approval. Dà shàoyé is in the residence waiting for this servant to return and report." She actually brought out Wang Bi's name to use.
Old Shen Fūrén frowned as she looked towards Shen Wan and Shen Gui. She had also faintly noticed that what happened today was indeed queer, but Shen Wan was Shen Yue's father and Wan Yīniáng was the Second Household people, thus, she can only get the opinion of her sons.
Shen Gui could not make any decision whereas Shen Wan's complexion turned solemn but he said, "Since that is the case, then Wan Yīniáng should follow. It is rare for a child to have such sincere thoughts." His words were not positive or negative but made one's back turns cold.
Wan Yīniáng was half overjoyed and half in fear. Overjoyed as the Wang family seemed not to pursue Shen Dong Ling's fault, and fear because she did not know if the current situation was deliberately played out by the Wang family or could it be in order to express one's dissatisfaction over the Third Household intentionally and, in the end, Shen Dong Ling was still the one that will be sacrificed.
The dark strong woman did as she said and brought Wan Yīniáng away under the Shen family's eyes. Rong Jing Tang fell into silence and, after a moment, Old Shen Fūrén said coldly, "What is going on exactly?!"
This weird and strange attitude of the Wang family was more disturbing than if they dropped all pretences. Chang Zai Qing moved her lips, seeming wanting to say something but after seeing Shen Wan's face, she swallowed the words on her lips.
Shen Gui was a little awkward. Initially, it was Shen Dong Ling that snatched Shen Yue's marriage, and he also wanted to hand Shen Dong Ling and mother to the Wang family so that the Third Household and Wang family would cool down, but he did not expect that the situation would be as such now. Shen Gui lightly coughed twice, "I will later write a letter to Dong Ling and ask her what kind of things she had done!"
Shen Wan smiled and looked towards Shen Yue before lightly speaking, "Yue-er, return with me to the room first." He then turned around and looked towards Old Shen Fūrén, "Mǔqīn, this matter cannot be rushed. Tomorrow, this son will personally go to the residence and apologise. One thinks that there are still ways to resolve it. It is this son's fault for disturbing you."
"How can one blame you for this?" Old Shen Fūrén sighed and her tone became displeased, "It is all, Sān jiě'ér, following that slut and learnt all those things that cannot be shown in public!" She then reproached Chen Rou Qiu, "If you were serious in managing the matters of the house, then Sān jiě'ér would not have been able to exploit them."
Chen Rou Qiu was filled with a stomach full of anger because of Shen Yue's matter and felt aggrieved, thus when Old Shen Fūrén criticised her, she retorted, "How could Pópó blame me? I also did not think that Sān jiě'ér would have such thoughts. For Pópó to blame the entire matter to me, is it not overly muddled?"
"You say I am muddled?" Old Shen Fūrén became very furious.
Chen Rou Qiu still wanted to speak but Shen Wan yelled, "Enough!" She was slightly stunned. For so many years, Shen Wan had never said such harsh words to her, and it was the first time he shouted at her. Shen Wan said, "Yue-er, follow me to the room!"
Shen Yue mumbled her comply.
An unreadable smile unknowingly floated on the lips of Chang Zai Qing, who was at the side looking at the entire scene.
Shen Yue followed Shen Wan into the room. Shen Wan's back was towards her and he did not speak, thus Shen Yue thought that Shen Wan was unhappy with the Wang family matter. Recalling the Wang family's attitude today, and also thinking that Shen Dong Ling had perhaps gained the Wang family's favour and that currently, her identity was also on the rocks, Shen Yue was extremely unsatisfied. She said, "Fùqīn, that Wang family is obviously relying on force to bully others and is looking down on you. What kind of words was those? In the future if Sān Mèimèi uses my identity to live, then what do I do? Sān Mèimèi robbed me of my marriage and now wants to rob me of my identity. Fùqīn, you cannot not care about me."
Shen Yue said those words like it was inevitable and right. Perhaps, after telling so many lies, she also believed in them. Currently, Shen Yue almost believes it herself, and this matter all started from Shen Dong Ling. It was Shen Dong Ling that harmed her quietly.
"She robbed you of your marriage?" Without turning his head, Shen Wan asked slowly.
Shen Yue did not hear that Shen Wan's tone was not right and nodded her head, "Exactly so!"
With a crisp 'pa' sound, a slap landed on Shen Yue's face like lightning.
Chen Rou Qiu, who just entered the room, saw this scene and cried out "Yue-er." She went forward to hold on to Shen Yu and yelled at Shen Wan, "What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Shen Wan did not get angry but laughed instead, "You might as well ask what your good daughter did."
Shen Yue held her face as she got up trembling. Even though the slap on her face was very painful, it could not compare to the fear she had at the bottom of her heart.
"Yue-er, you dare to say you are ignorant in the matter? Was it really Shen Dong Ling that harmed you and robbed your marriage? Do you think that your little plans could fool everyone? You let Shen Dong Ling marry on your behalf as you only think about marrying Ding Wáng, but did you ever think that when the Wang family is offended, how would your Fùqīn, me, be? Without this marriage, how will you be able to marry off in the future? It is really one's past life good fortune for me, Shen Wan, to have such a smart and wonderful daughter like you!"
Shen Wan was a civil official and had a good appearance. Normally, he would have a cultured, refined and elegant appearance, and all the while he had doted on Shen Yue a lot. It was actually the first time he had shown such a sinister face to Shen Yue.
Chen Rou Qiu trembled as she looked at Shen Yue in her arms and asked, "Yue-er, is what your Fùqīn said true?"
"I… I only wanted freedom." Shen Yue whispered in fear when she suddenly remembered something and raised her head, "But Shen Dong Ling also tempted me. The current attitude that the Wang family showed to us was obviously provoked by Shen Dong Ling. It was all because of Shen Dong Ling that slut!"
"Shut up!" The more Shen Wan listened, the more furious he got, "You yourself is stupid and you still blame on another. All the books you have studied have gone to the dog's stomach!"
Suddenly, Shen Yue's grievous eyes turned red, as she had never encountered such a fierce Shen Wan before. Ever since Chen Rou Qiu heard Shen Yue admitting that it was her who wanted to change the marriage, she closed her eyes in disappointment as she had never expected that Shen Yue would have such guts to do such a thing. But Shen Yue was still her daughter that crawled out of her stomach and had been disciplined for so many years. Chen Rou Qiu only had this one daughter so when she heard Shen Wan placing the blame, she at the end could not help but said, "Even though Yue-er is at fault, she is because she is not sensible. I think that what Yue-er said was not wrong. Shen Dong Ling deliberately lured Yue-er and one fear that everything today was masterminded by her.
Shen Wan pressed on his forehead and the gaze that he had when he was looking at Chen Rou Qui was filled with disappointment, "Since when have you become unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
Chen Rou Qiu was startled and only heard Shen Wan continue speaking, "Never mind. Tomorrow, I will personally pay the Wang family a visit to apologise. But I also do not know if this matter would be successful or not, as it is our Shen family who is at fault first and if it fails then it is your own creation." Finishing his words, he took a glance at Shen Yue before turning around and brushing his sleeves before leaving.
Chen Rou Qiu was in fear and trepidation with Shen Wan's look of disappointment with her and wanted to say something but Shen Wan had already left the room. Looking at the weeping Shen Yue, she then turned around to comfort her daughter first.
Shen Wan left the room and the servant beside him saw that he had an exhausted expression and asked, "Does Lǎoyé want to take a walk outside to relax?"
"It is not necessary." Shen Wan waved his hands. After some thoughts, he then said, "Go to the Western Courtyard."
The Western Courtyard. Currently, it was the courtyard that Chang Zai Qing was staying at.
The servant did not say anything and quietly brought Shen Wan towards the Western Courtyard.
These two people, however, did not notice that there was a person standing far away that was staring at their figures from behind. That person was from Rong Jing Tang, Zhang Māmā who was always beside Old Shen Fūrén. Zhang Māmā muttered to herself suspiciously, "Why is Sān Lǎoyé heading towards the Western Courtyard?"
The farce in the Shen Residence in the early morning quickly reached into Shen Miao's ears.
At the time during the separation from the Shen family, Shen Miao had picked a few maids in the Second and Third Households and even Rong Jing Tang. Chen Rou Qiu's ability to manage the family was inferior to Ren Wan Yun. When Ren Wan Yun was managing the entire household, every single courtyard was as sealed as a metal bucket, especially Cai Yun Yuan, making it very difficult to insert a snitch. Now that Chen Rou Qiu was managing Shen Residence, it was like a sheet of loose sand. In addition, the Shen Residence's income and expenses were suddenly reduced, making the servant's life more difficult than previous times. Moreover, what she wanted to ask was not a secret or confidential matter. It was just some small and big matters that happened in the Shen Residence, and it could be heard by asking only a little about it.
After the Second Household of the Shen family declined, the Third Household was the one supporting the Shen family. Chen Rou Qiu would normally put up the mannerism of a matriarch in charge, and Shen Yue was the only branch in the thriving tree, as she had no other sisters to fight with.
One did not know that if it was because one had lived too long in peaceful days that one's mind was not used. For this instance, this chess move of Shen Yue's was very terrible.
After the incident, Shen Wan really went to the Minister of Land, the Wang family, personally to apologise the second day like he had mentioned. One did not know what kind of rationale he had prepared, but it was most likely that he would be tactfully pushing all the blame onto Shen Dong Ling. Who knew that the Wang family would give Shen Wan a vicious slap back.
The Wang family did not accept Shen Wan's apology and the people in the Wang family did not acknowledge Shen Yue. They absolutely said that Shen Dong Ling is the Di-daughter of the Third Household and as for Shen Yue, they did not know her at all.
Shen Wan was very embarrassed and could see that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him. It was also very clear that the Wang family already knew that the matter of the exchanging of brides was brought up by Shen Yue, so they embarrassed him on purpose. Shen Wan thought that with the virtue of his friendship with the Wang family, he would be able to get through it, and at the end, the Wang family would exchange Shen Yue with Shen Dong Ling. However, this time, Shen Wan had guessed incorrectly.
Finally, in the end, there were two solutions to resolve it. First was that Shen Dong Ling would be married with Shen Yue's identity, and the real Shen Yue would no longer be seen in the world in the future. Naturally, Shen Wan was unable to accept this. Thus, there was only the second option, Shen Yue would also be married into the Wang family, with the status of a Píng Qī (aka equal wife).
Because Shen Yue's and Wang Bi's marriage had involved everyone, thus this time, the real marriage of Shen Yue would not be done big. Everyone would think it is a Shu-daughter who gets married, hence, it had to be done in a low-key manner.
This solution almost made Shen Wan brush his sleeves then leave.
It was not that there were no such incidents in the Ming Qi where a Di and a Shu-daughter waited upon one husband. However, usually, it would be the Di-daughter that would be the wife and the Shu-daughter a concubine, but what the Wang family suggested was Píng Qī! In order to pull the wool over people's eyes, Shen Yue had to marry as a Shu-daughter identity and Shen Dong Ling, who was a Shu-daughter, had stolen the honour that Shen Yue had rightfully deserved!
This was humiliation!
Shen Wan had flatly refused but the Wang family was resolute in their attitude. It was after all the bride and not the Wang family at fault, and now Shen Dong Ling and Wang Bi were getting along well, thus they did not really care about Shen Yue. The Wang family could stretch it out but Shen Yue could not. The longer this took, the one who was at a disadvantage would be Shen Yue.
Thus, Shen Wan was somewhat hesitant and quarrelled a number of rounds with Chen Rou Qiu on the matter.
When Bai Lu was relaying the matters of Shen Residence to Shen Miao, Shen Miao had an overjoyed expression. Shen Miao had always been calm and one had rarely seen her laughing so much as if she was really very happy.
"Xiǎojiě finds this interesting." Bai Lu said, "This time, Èr xiǎojiě really lifted a rock and smashed her foot and had created so much trouble for nothing. It really caused Sān Lǎoyé to have a headache all day."
"If it was me to say, it really was Sān xiǎojiě that had a bargain." Shuang Jiang said, "Not only did Sān xiǎojiě have the status of a Fūrén of an official family, but she also currently have the entire Wang family's care and she even brought Wan Yīniáng over to stay. It is indeed impressive."
"This might not be accurate to say." Bai Lu shook her head, "If at the end, Èr xiǎojiě marries into the Wang family, both of them will be Píng Qī but Di and Shu are not equal. Sān xiǎojiě only has a Yīniáng but Èr xiǎojiě have Sān Lǎoyé as her maiden family, thus the Wang family would be biased towards Èr xiǎojiě a little. Sān xiǎojiě is currently pleased with herself but the days are still long."
Shen Miao laughed as she spoke, "Wrong. Sānjiě is a very powerful person."
Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang looked over at Shen Miao at the same time. Shen Miao said, "Even if Shen Yue really married into the Wang family, she will certainly be unable to compare to Shen Dong Ling. I think that the reason why the Wang family is so cold in their treatment to the Third Household is definitely that the Wang family knows that the matter of the exchanging of the marriage was masterminded by Shen Yue. One asks if any male in the world would like a wife who despises them? Even the male's dignity would not allow it to happen. Also, with Shen Yue's and Shen Dong Ling's personalities, once they were married into the residence and before they give birth, the only thing they can rely on is Wang Bi's love and favour. Unfortunately, Shen Yue has already lost."
"Shen Yue is unable to gain Wang Bi's love and favour, thus, one fears that Wang Bi would not even let her give birth to a child easily. Even though there is a difference between Di and Shu, both are the same rank as Píng Qī. Whoever gives birth first would naturally be the one who makes the call." Shen Miao said lightly, "Not to mention, with Shen Yue's brains, how would she be able to fight with Shen Dong Ling? Shen Dong Ling could currently collect all the dirty water that was thrown to her and completely return it back. How would such a powerful person like her to be defeated under Shen Yue's hands?"
Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang were in a daze as they listened. After a moment Shuang Jiang spoke, "It seems that Sān xiǎojiě is a powerful one."
"The only one that has a little prospect in the Shen Residence, is her." Shen Miao said, "Help me to grind the ink."
Bai Lu went up to look for the ink stab before grinding it as she saw Shen Miao spreading the paper out like she wanted to write something. Bai Lu said, "Xiǎojiě wants to write a letter?"
Shen Miao declined to comment.
Naturally, when Shen Yue created such a big wave herself, Shen Miao was very pleased that she had sowed the seeds she planted. But Shen Miao had not forgotten that the Third Household played a lot of parts in the extermination of the Eldest Household of the Shen family in her past lifetime."
One day she would demand the big gift back and throw the stones when one was in the well. Not only would the Second Household do it, but she would also do it. She did not want to take action personally from the beginning to the end. But if the Third Household wanted to push themselves into the road of death, she would not mind letting the Third Household walk faster.
Shen Wan and Chen Rou Qiu were quarrelling all day and at this time, one would need a consolation of a confidant.
It was time for Chang Zai Qing to go up the stage.
