A few days later, the Cui Family members, as promised, rapped gongs and drums as they paid their respects to Madam Feng and announced that they had expelled Aunt Cui from the Cui Family.
The news of this matter spread like wildfire throughout the House of the Marquis of Yongping, causing everyone to discuss the private matters of his wife who had been trying to take his concubine for many days to unravel.
On the surface, Madam Feng was still able to deal with the Cui Family's matters. She took the things back to the courtyard and then locked herself up to continue living her life. Xiu Ying snorted in disdain when she saw that the Cui Family's gifts were all pretty and useless.
Madam Feng happened to see it, and reached out her hand to pinch her cheek in amusement. "We have a small treasury, so naturally, we don't like these pieces of junk."
Xiu Ying raised her chin, putting her hands on her hips and said, "That's right!"
There was laughter in the room.
Shen Lian's face was ashen. She had just come back from Old Master Shen's mansion, and when she heard the laughter at the courtyard entrance, her face turned even paler.
She had also heard the movements when the Cui Family was giving gifts to her. She didn't know what was going on, but she felt that the little girl in the Cui Family was giving her a weird look. Only when Old Madam Shen came out did she hear the discussion of the girl's wife.
Her aunt was expelled from the Cui family.
Shen Lian's eyes instantly went black, she almost fainted, she gritted her teeth and came back.
If her aunt was expelled from the Cui Family, then she wouldn't be acknowledged by the Cui Family. She no longer had a grandmother, and her aunt had gone from being a concubine to a lowly concubine.
She was the child of a lowly concubine and her status was far from what it used to be.
Her sky seemed to be trampling on it.
In just a few days, she had become the child of a lowly concubine. Even her grandmother wouldn't tell her.
How was she going to establish herself in the future?!
How could she have any future prospects?!
No wonder her mother ignored her until she fainted that day.
She wasn't even afraid of the Cui Family, why would she be afraid of her threats!
Shen Lian had never hesitated like this before, standing at the entrance of the Jia Xin Yuan, feeling that the laughter inside was extremely shrill. Her first feeling of despair made her unable to hold back her tears any longer. She turned around and ran back into the room. She crawled onto the bed and started crying.
The girls who served her did not go up to comfort her. They were only in charge of taking care of the situation, nothing else had anything to do with them. Besides, they weren't stupid, who would go and curry favor with a powerless and powerless Shu Mu xiaojie?
It was only a golden lump by his wife's side!
Soon, someone reported Shen Lian's crying to the Feng family, who was dyeing their nails. She was extremely cheerful. The flower juice used to dye her nails was also light colored. On the other hand, Xiu Ying had always liked bright colors.
After Madam Feng heard this, she lightly said: "Take good care of Second Miss. If I discover anyone cheating and slacking off, then don't stay here anymore."
She had offended Aunt Cui, but not a little girl. Without Aunt Cui, Shen Lian would not be able to cause any problems.
She is helping Shen Hong raise the baby, and when he grows up, it will just be a matter of dowry.
The Feng family was a well-informed person, the little girls knew that she was the one who kept her words, so they all stopped thinking of taking Shen Lian slowly, and went back to be good servants.
Xiu Ying had experienced many things in her past life and still hated Shen Lian. However, for the sake of her mother's reputation, she had to endure for a while before she could beat the crap out of her.
Shen Lian would always have to live her panicked life in the future. That kind of life was a kind of torture and she should be able to taste that kind of feeling.
The matter between Madam Feng and the Cui Family had come to an end, but Aunt Cui, who was in the manor far away, was still unaware.
It was already the end of the month, and at this time, Grandma Cui felt that her daughter would secretly make up for her loss of food. However, she didn't have any food to eat for the past two days.
Another day passed, and Su-Er, who had gone out to wait for something, returned dejectedly. Aunt Cui knew that it had not been delivered.
However, she didn't take it to heart. She only thought that Grandma Cui had been delayed, and it was rare for her to pacify Soo'er. Su-Er was flattered. She picked up Aunt Cui's words and said, "Your servant saw that Aunt's complexion had improved over the past few days and was now a little better off. After a few more days, I spoke with the old lady. The old lady will definitely think of a way to have the old master come here, so when the time comes, the young lady can return home. "
Even in her dreams, Aunt Cui was thinking about returning to the Shen family. However, she had avoided Madam Feng because she had a weakness in her hands. When she thought of Madam Feng wielding her little braid, she was definitely worried.
Aunt Cui gave a cold laugh and said meaningfully, "Don't rush yet." She had to finish off the Feng Family before she could return to the Shen Mansion.
Otherwise, she would still be the meat of a fish and a chopping block of a man.
Su-Er saw the smile on Aunt Cui's lips and shivered. She thought of the man who had come not long ago, the one who understood medicine.
What was Aunt trying to do?!
It was July, close to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Shen family has been quite busy lately.
Apart from welcoming the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was also the matter of Shen Junxiao participating in the Autumn Festival, as well as the preparations for the ancestral worship ceremony.
Shen Junxiao was not married. Old Madam Shen had been completely exhausted from the ruckus of the past few days, so it was all because of Madam Feng.
Because of this, Xiu Ying was forced to stay by her mother's side as an excuse for her to study. Other than going to school, she would be helping the Feng Family prepare food.
The Shen family was busy with work, but Master Shen was free.
The Du Family did not pursue the matter, and he naturally did not need to investigate any further. Recently, Yongping Residence had once again become peaceful, so he was free to drink with his colleagues.
On the seventh day of the eighth month, Master Shen, Mu Xiu, Old Lady Shen were in a better mood as they thought of something.
"Now that your little brother is about to leave the stage, what else do you have to say? Or perhaps, if you go and look at his studies, it's good to give him a few pointers. "
Master Shen's hand paused for a moment before he smiled. He felt that the new tea that he had just served had no taste in his mouth.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Then my son will go take a look."
Old Madam Shen agreed without a word, a gratified smile on her face. She said, "Your little brother likes to keep a cold face. He treats everyone the same way. As an elder brother, you should be more patient and not bother with him. In the future, when he becomes a Grand Scholar, he will be grateful to you. When that time comes, the three of you will support each other and bring glory to your ancestors. Even if I went to see your father, I would still have an explanation. "
When Master Shen heard this, he agreed, but in his heart, he did not agree with it.
Which of his two younger brothers would side with him?
Even though he was on good terms with the capital's second brother, he didn't give him a hand. That third brother … He still remembered what happened when he was young, and he hated him even more.
Shen Junxiao was in high school, and his status was at the top of the world. I might want to step on him!
They were just pretending to be brotherly and friendly in front of the old man, coaxing the old mother.
Old Master Shen stepped out of the room, and his face darkened immediately. However, since he had agreed to the matter, he had no choice but to head straight for Mu Xi Yuan.
Shen Junxiao had taken a bath before and had his tea set up in the yard to enjoy the cool moonlight. The person guarding the gate came to inform Master Shen that he had arrived. He then placed the cup of tea down.
Coming over at this time was really depressing. Shen Junxiao's eyes turned cold in an instant.
