When Madam Feng returned from the main house, she saw a thin and weak figure kneeling in the courtyard.
The afternoon sun was still scorching, and his thin figure seemed to be unable to endure it any longer. From time to time, he would sag and immediately kneel straight up.
Madam Feng looked at it for a moment and then walked over. Yingyu was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, and when she saw that her mother had returned, she nervously went to greet her.
"Mother didn't suffer any losses, right?"
The little girl's words amused Madam Feng, and her expression became a little warm. "How could that be?"
Only after Madam Feng left did Xiu Ying realize that her mother had done something important. She was extremely afraid that her eccentric grandmother would make things difficult for her mother. She smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, you just slept after playing for a while. The one outside had just come back, yet he's been kneeling like that ever since."
The little girl pouted at the courtyard, but Madam Feng's gaze was still not focused on the outside. Instead, she sat down to drink her tea.
Seeing her mother's attitude, Xiu Ying knew that she didn't want to care about Shen Lian.
That's right, no matter what she does, Shen Lian just kneeled there after coming back from Cui Family. He clearly wanted to take it out from the matter of the Cui Family bullying the mother and daughter pair.
But how could Shen Lianruo, who was sincere and close to him, do such a thing? She didn't say a word as she just knelt there. Those who didn't know the answer would think that Madam Feng was not allowing her to return to her ancestor's house and was lecturing her. Shen Lian wanted to pretend to be pitiful, but she didn't want the Cui Family to know that she was being cruel.
Using this kind of method to force her mother to compromise, and then Shen Lian would be able to take care of both sides. Pfft, how could there be such a good thing in the world!
Xiu Ying could see through her little sister's thoughts. It was extremely shameful.
She just couldn't understand how a similarly eight-year-old child like her couldn't have been more cautious.
The Feng family treated Shen Lian coldly, this was something Shen Lian did not expect.
She felt that Madam Feng, after being her mother for so many years, would always cherish her reputation, but she did not expect that she would not even receive one more glance from her.
It was a hot day, and even in the afternoon the sun was hot and the flagstones hot. She knelt on the ground. Her knees were in pain and she was sweating profusely. The steamed meat was suffocating her.
Shen Lian was still waiting for the Feng Family to get her up, but who knew that she would be hit by this.
"Madam, Second Miss fainted." The mandarin plum came in to report.
"If you're unconscious, carry him back to your room and let a doctor take a look. Then send someone to the old lady to report to him." Second Miss blamed herself for making things difficult for me at Grandmaster's house, so she asked for punishment and fainted on her knees. "
Madam Feng gently rubbed the rim of her cup with her fingertips, a faint smile on her face. Xiu Ying laughed.
Her mother actually knew how to choke people. Old Mrs. Cui was probably so angry that she fainted upon hearing that.
When she left, Old Lady Cui was so angry that she threw a teacup. Old Lady Shen could only curse in her heart at her crimes as she watched.
Shen Junxiao was quick to notice the commotion.
Four Treasures looked like he wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare. "Master San, the old granny has already sent someone to inform the old master."
Naturally, he would have to tell his big brother. However, once this matter was told to his big brother, it would not end well. The Feng family was smarter than he thought.
"Let's wait and see. There shouldn't be any more accidents." Shen Jun smiled and continued reading.
When Master Shen found out that the family was in an uproar again, and that it was because the Cui Family implicated him, he almost cursed out in anger.
He knew about the rumors these days, but because of his identity, the others didn't mention it to him. He felt that the Feng Family had been a bit domineering recently, and wanted to rub off her spirit. In a few days, he would force them to sell well.
Unexpectedly, it was the Cui Family who added fuel to the fire.
What did the Cui Family mean by this, that it was this outsider's turn to interfere in the matters of his backyard?!
It's still getting out of hand.
Old Master Shen had been pursuing the assassination for the past two days. He did not have a clue about it, and now that the backyard was on fire, his entire body was dark.
Back at the Shen Mansion, Old Lady Cui was still complaining about Old Madam Shen saying that Madam Feng was a bad wife and wanted Old Madam Shen to give her an explanation. Old Master Shen's temples throbbed when he heard this. No matter how much he loved Mrs Cui, her family would not be able to interfere with his family's business.
"Grandma Cui, I'm still willing to call you aunt. If you don't want to blame your Cui Family for slandering my wife, then if I hear you insult my wife one more time …" "This official will stop looking at relations between relatives!"
Old Master Shen was upset. He didn't want to be entangled with the old woman any longer, so he just spoke harshly upon meeting her.
His eldest son was defending his daughter-in-law like this for the first time. Old Lady Shen was dumbfounded by what she heard. However, she still agreed with her son's current attitude.
It was obviously her brainless sister-in-law who caused this mess. Why did they have to clean up this mess?
When Grandma Cui saw that both mother and son seemed to want to stand idly by the side, she could not hold it in any longer and sat on the ground wailing and cursing. The room was in a state of chaos.
"Enough!" Old Master Shen could no longer hold it in and flicked his sleeves.
Grandma Cui didn't take his words at all and continued to cry and curse. Her scolding of Madam Feng turned into scolding of Master Shen for being fickle. Her daughter had indeed been abandoned as a wife and had been wronged as well.
Old Master Shen's face darkened every time he heard these words. Gritting his teeth, he sneered, "Since Grandma Cui is insistent, then bring your daughter back. I shall be completely disloyal this time."
Actually, if Grandma Cui wanted to cause a ruckus, she only wanted the mother and son of the Shen family to help her.
When Grandma Cui heard this, her eyes widened. She pointed at Master Shen with trembling hands, causing her to faint from both shock and anger.
The girls in the room became flustered. Old Lady Shen rubbed her forehead as she went to get a doctor. Before the doctor could return with Shen Lian's pulse, she was invited back to the Shen Mansion. Looking at the unconscious patient, the doctor felt strange.
What was wrong with the Shen family? Even the young ones felt faint, and the old ones felt faint.
"Boss, we can't really just ignore this matter." Old Madam Shen pulled her son to the outer room and whispered to him.
Her elder sister-in-law was someone who could cause trouble. Seeing that the sun was about to set, if they didn't think of a way to deal with her, the Shen family wouldn't have a peaceful time to themselves.
"The Feng family is just too angry." Master Shen's expression was gloomy as he slowly said, "Aunt Cui invited herself out to recuperate, and she may even have tuberculosis, which is very contagious. "She didn't even say anything. How could she not be angry at the Cui Family for coming up with such a trap."
"Then what should we do?"
Old Mrs. Shen knew that was the reason, so she anxiously urged again.
Old Master Shen muttered to himself for a while and finally made up his mind. "Aunt definitely won't be able to get back at us for this, but Madam Feng will definitely explain the rumors. Tell Aunt that your family's reputation and your daughter's ability to choose one. My Uncle Brother has two years' time to return to the capital to report on his duties.
That means...
Old Madam Shen's eyes lit up as she quickly replied with a few pleasantries.
