"Liang Zhuo".

Shen Ning's voice came from inside the car, calm and indifferent.

“Playing the victim won’t work on me. If I didn’t remember the kindness Aunt Liang showed me, I would have sent Uncle Liang to jail long ago. Your Liang family lives in a big house now, just like rich old men. This is already my mercy.”

"If you're going to apologize, at least show some sincerity. Don't try to manipulate me right away. I, Chen Ning, don't owe your family anything."

Liang Zhuo outside looked embarrassed after hearing this; Shen Ning had pointed out something he didn't want to face.

Yu Zhu's angry voice came out: "Miss, Wei Congwen wanted to see you the day before yesterday. How can this man be so hateful? He was the one who wanted to be with the Second Miss, and he was the one who divorced the Second Miss. Now he keeps bothering you. I don't know what he's up to. Does he think that you still have something with him? He's like a toad trying to eat swan meat. He's delusional."

Liu Ying scolded her, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the young lady possibly be interested in him?"

Yu Zhu: "Miss wouldn't approve of him, but he's just too annoying. Why didn't he drown when he fell into the river that day?"

"Alright," Liu Ying scolded Yu Zhu, "Stop talking nonsense and upsetting Miss."

As the carriage drove further and further away, Liang Zhuo unknowingly fell far behind, but he did not chase after it. His mind was filled with Shen Ning's words.

If you're going to apologize, you should at least show enough sincerity.

Yes, if they weren't useful, why would the young lady accept them again?

The eldest daughter's dowry for the second daughter was largely spent by the Wei family, and the shops were left empty shells due to poor management, and the estate's harvest was also poor this year.

They said they were helping the second young lady manage her dowry, but the dowry was impossible to manage. Not only did it not make any money, but they also had to put money into it to keep it running, otherwise it would just go to waste.

Although their family had some money, after buying the house, they couldn't afford to start a decent business, let alone hire a caravan like the Shen family.

The father and son did not want to return to the Shen family to continue being servants, but the Liang family needed to have a decent business.

After much deliberation, they decided to do business with the young lady.

The whole family had agreed that as long as the young lady didn't deliberately break off relations, they would try their best to mend things.

Of course, unlike his parents who were only concerned about the future of the family, Liang Zhuo still harbored some unspeakable selfish motives.

The second young lady had an affair during her marriage and, after the divorce, couldn't wait to meet someone secretly at the estate. Liang Zhuo witnessed her debauchery firsthand, and the younger sister who needed his care in his childhood had gradually died in his heart.

Even if the second young lady now says she likes him and wants to marry him, he's no longer willing.

But the young lady is different... She is the most perfect wife candidate in his mind.

Wei Congwen chose the second young lady, but now that he knows she's not a good person, he actually wants to go back and provoke the eldest young lady. Keep dreaming!

-------

Did Shen Ning incite Liang Zhuo to deal with Wei Congwen?

She simply didn't want to get entangled with Liang Zhuo, and at the same time wanted to give Wei Congwen something to do.

In their past lives, these two fought bravely for Shen Shu, chasing after her like mad dogs. If they could fight like dogs in this life, that would be quite interesting.

She wanted to kill Liang Zhuo; if she could kill him once, she could do it again. However, given Liang Zhuo's current attitude, she wasn't in a hurry to send him to meet the King of Hell. She wanted to see what absurd things Liang Zhuo and Wei Congwen, who had memories of his past life, would do in the face of the current situation.

Yu Zhu looked down on Liang Zhuo: "He's a good-for-nothing, he can't do anything right, he's just a troublemaker, why would Miss bother to pay attention to him?"

Shen Ning was amused by her words; the description was indeed insightful.

“If I keep ignoring him, he’ll keep buzzing around like a fly, which is quite annoying. Why not give him a direction and let him fight Wei Congwen like dogs? That would definitely be a great show.”

Liu Ying frowned: "Master Wei must hate the Second Miss to death now, but since the Second Miss is with Young Master Han, he dares not do anything. He is afraid that he will take his anger out on the Eldest Miss. Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Master Wei is still a third-rank censor. Miss, you must be careful."

It would be unwise to provoke Wei Congwen.

Shen Ning nodded, acknowledging her concerns: "I know what I'm doing, and I won't let them cause any trouble."

The Wei couple were naturally angry with her, but they were busy right now.

When Wei Changgeng was an imperial censor, he impeached many officials. As an imperial censor, it was his duty to impeach others, and no one dared to do anything to him. But now he is no longer an imperial censor.

As an ordinary citizen with no power or influence, wouldn't those people be quick to kick him while he's down, seeking revenge for any wrongs they have?

Wei Changgeng is currently preoccupied with his own problems and is probably too busy to deal with her for the time being.

Wei Congwen has been quite busy these days. He has regained his memories from his previous life and is determined to return to officialdom. He is using the remaining money of the Wei family to travel around.

Without Shen Shu's persuasion, Han Yin's limited knowledge was utterly inadequate. Forget about becoming an official; as soon as they heard he was Wei Changgeng's son, they treated him like a plague and quickly chased him away.

He's been hitting roadblocks everywhere these past few days, which has really hit him hard.

With the bribery and the theft of her daughter-in-law's dowry already in the past, Shen Shu now hates the Wei family to the extreme. It's impossible for her to ask Han Yin for help to pave the way for them like she did in her previous life. This father and son will never be able to set foot in the officialdom again in this lifetime.

Don't talk about cornered dogs or fish fighting to the death. Even if they really go that far, they shouldn't be looking for someone to fight to the death with, not Shen Ning.

From the moment Shen Shu got into the bridal sedan chair, who could be more innocent than her?

Moreover, Shen Ning made more than one preparation.

"Is that Miss Shen Ning from the Shen family in the carriage?"

Liu Ying peeked out and looked around, then turned back to Shen Ning: "Miss, someone has stopped our carriage, and there's an old man standing by the roadside."

Shen Ning was slightly confused, but when she lifted the carriage curtain, she instantly understood.

"Mo Lin, stop."

Shen Ning got off the carriage, nodded slightly to the coachman who had called out to her, and turned to look at the old man in gray-brown clothes with gray hair.

"Junior Shen Ning greets Uncle Lu."

Imperial Censor Lu Qing.

The Imperial Censor Lu Qing, who had died at this time in his previous life.

As the head of the censors, Lu Qing was upright and honest, with sharp eyes. He looked at Shen Ning as if trying to see through her.

“Ning girl, it’s been so many years, you’ve grown more and more outstanding. Your father in heaven would be very pleased to see this.”

Shen Ning chuckled: "Uncle, you flatter me. I'm just glad Father doesn't blame me."

Lu Qing looked in the direction of Shen Shuyuan's grave: "Today is the anniversary of his death. I should go and offer him incense and chat for a while, but unfortunately I am in mourning and can only do it next time."

Shen Ning: "Uncle, please accept my condolences."

Lu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Ning, his eyes sharp: "Ning girl, what are you trying to do?"
