"Hmph!" Shen Yao coldly snorted, and did not hide anything and told her everything, "I met her on the streets today, and saw her enter the gates of the Minister Mansion with my own eyes. She is now a Young Noble who has climbed up the Minister Mansion, how could I possibly fancy you?"
Shen Yao seemed to be doing it on purpose, as he sneered coldly.
"Alright, shut up."
Seeing that Kong Linyuan's expression was not good, Kong's Mother glared at Shen Yao, afraid that she would say something unpleasant, and immediately stopped her.
"It's getting late, Linyuan, go busy yourself." The Kong's Mother spoke to Kong Linyuan in an especially gentle manner, he turned around and faced Shen Yao with a less good-natured expression, and only glanced at her indifferently, and spoke in a neither cold nor warm manner, "I also haven't seen Yun'er for quite a while, let's go to your house to take a look at your child."
"What is it? Still not leaving? " When Kong's Mother finished speaking, he saw that Shen Yao did not move, his gaze fixated on her body.
Ever since Kong Linyuan scored the top spot in the Imperial Examinations, the Kong's Mother was able to stand even straighter. Furthermore, the Shen family was originally without power or influence, and the matters in the front courtyard were left to the men, so the backyard was naturally her, her mother-in-law's, even more so.
"Yes, Mother." Shen Yao clenched his teeth and replied, he endured his anger and followed behind Kong's Mother.
"Someone, clean up the study." When Kong's Mother left the study room, he immediately instructed the servants to pack up, and himself brought Shen Yao to her room, chattering all the way.
As the official wife of Linyuan, it's fine if you don't know how to be gentle and considerate to your husband, but pointing at your husband's face while cursing is our Kong Family 'face. In my opinion, if you don't want to serve Linyuan, I'll just take in a few concubines for him. "
Kong's Mother wanted to go to Kong Linyuan's room as soon as he found the right time.
She had long since been impatient to carry her grandson, but and Kong Linyuan's relationship was getting worse. She saw that there was no hope in Shen Yao's stomach, and could only place her hopes on her concubine.
"I don't need mother to worry about these things." Shen Yao remained calm, gritting his teeth as he retorted.
"I don't want to worry, but I only have Linyuan and I can't afford to lose the incense from my Kong Family to him. If I don't help control it now, I'm afraid there will be no one else capable of supporting my Kong Family." Kong's Mother replied in a strange tone.
Shen Yao was so angry that she did not say a word for a long time. She understood in her heart that Kong's Mother was blaming her, blaming her stomach for not having a son, and being able to continue the joss stick for Kong Family. It was just that now that the child was even born, what could she do?
The Shen family.
Shen Yao was angered by Kong's Mother, he immediately became gloomy and did not even return to the courtyard with a stomach full of anger, he directly left and returned to his home.
"Yao'er, why have you come back?" When Zhu Huiru saw that Shen Yao had returned alone, without a daughter or a servant girl, he was extremely shocked.
"Mother, don't say anymore, none of those people from Kong Family are good stuff!" Shen Yao scolded angrily, but when he saw his mother, he felt extremely wronged.
"Come in and sit." Madame Zhou looked at the mother and daughter, and quickly went forward to support Shen Yao.
When Shen Yao was at home, he had a good relationship with her, his sister-in-law, and they had never quarreled before. Thus, there was not much of a grudge between the two of them, not to mention that her Kong Family had become an official, so she did not add insult to injury while they were down.
"That's right, let's enter the house first." Zhu Huiru looked around and agreed.
The three of them talked as they entered the hall to sit down. Shen Lifeng and Lady Xu, who were in another room, heard the commotion and quickly came over, especially with the Xu family. It was her time to show that Shen Yao was wronged, so she had to curry favor with them.
"This brother-in-law is a bit too insensible. Other men love their wives in every way, but he's a good person. Now that he's a pretty decent official, he's already putting on a show of authority."
When Lady Xu entered the living room, she immediately went to Shen Yao's side to sit down, and looked as if she cared about her a lot.
"What's the use of saying all this, sister-in-law?" The people from the left and right side of the Kong Family also couldn't hear it. "
Madame Zhou swept a cold glance over her, clearly aware of the little scheme she was planning.
"I'm just speaking the truth. What do you mean, sister-in-law? Could it be that you want to speak up for the people from Kong Family? " The Xu and the Madame Zhou were always at odds with each other, so they immediately choked back.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm naturally on the side of my sister." The Madame Zhou retorted.
"That being the case, it's not like I said anything wrong. Why are you in such a hurry?"
The two of them started quarreling intensely as they spoke, completely ignoring the sad and angry main character who was standing right next to them.
"Enough, shut up." Zhu Huiru could not watch any longer, he suddenly stood up and slammed the table fiercely. Only then did Madame Zhou and Lady Xu cry out.
"What are you making such a ruckus for? If you want to make a ruckus, then go outside."
Zhu Huiru glared at the Xu, although he was reprimanding Madame Zhou and the Xu, he seemed to have said it on purpose for them to hear him.
Madam Xu held her breath as she turned and walked out of the hall. Shen Lifeng stayed in the room and was unable to speak, so she hurriedly followed along. The two of them went back to their own rooms, and with a bang, closed the door and smashed it shut.
"What does your mother mean? She is purposefully biased towards our boss! "
Mrs Xu walked around the room, the more she thought about it, the more furious she became. Ever since Shen Liyang said that there was a way to become an official, his heart had completely deviated.
Forget about leaving all the good stuff for the people in the main house, even if they did commit a crime, if it was someone from the main house, they would just beat it up. If it was someone from their second house, they would have to ruthlessly beat Shen Lifeng and her up to vent their anger.
"Calm down first. Who told you to have such luck? To think that you would meet someone of great status helping you." Shen Lifeng muttered unhappily as he comforted the Xu.
"If I had gone with him that time, I might have been able to get some benefits."
"You still have the nerve to say that? Isn't it all because of your incompetence? Otherwise, how could our life have ended up like this? " Mrs Xu said as she opened the window to take a look at the big room, swearing, "She's pretending to be pretty decent. She doesn't even know how to read big words, and she's still studying all day like a scholar."
"This is nonsense." Shen Lifeng immediately pulled him back from the window.
Although Shen Liyang was still at home, he might become a Shangguan in a few days. At that time, wouldn't his family still have to rely on them?
Right now, the couple's status in this family was very low. If they were to offend a large family, they might be kicked out.
"Why should I not? The joke he left behind in the village had not disappeared yet. Who in the village didn't know about this? "He's pretending to be a dog now." Lady Xu's heart was just unbalanced. If she didn't scold her, she would be unhappy.
"Keep your voice down, if mom hears it again, it'll be another scolding later." Shen Lifeng frowned and pleaded in a low voice.
"Look at your cowardly look, why don't you learn from your elder brother? How did I get married to a useless guy like you? " Mrs Xu, who was full of anger, was pointed at him and scolded by Shen Lifeng once again.
Shen Lifeng did not refute her and allowed her to scold him to vent her anger.
