Chapter 347: Taking Money but Not Doing the Job

"Dad, I don't want to go back to the Guo family, please!"

Shen Tinglan felt the malice of Master Guo, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. She knelt in front of Master Shen and begged in a low voice.

The Guo family is a den of wolves. As a daughter of the Shen family, she was beaten so hard that she couldn't get out of bed. Without the protection of the Shen family, how could Shen Tinglan survive?

Even if she dies, she wants to die in the Shen family!

"Tinglan, take care of yourself."

Mr. Shen did not show any mercy and his expression was cold and indifferent.

It's not like Master Shen has ever favored a concubine's daughter over his legitimate daughter.

But things are different now. Shen Zhilan has climbed up the ladder, while Shen Tinglan is stuck in the quagmire. Master Shen quickly chooses the right direction and wants to step on the concubine's daughter.

"You are just like your mother, you only know how to lie with nice words, you have such a vicious heart, you almost caused Zhilan to lose her reputation, now you have such an end, don't you deserve it?"

Master Shen held a grudge against Shen Tinglan's aunt and ordered his servants to expel her from the Shen Mansion.

"Dad, my daughter won't leave!"

Shen Tinglan showed a look of determination, she was going to make the final bet.

If the Shen family was truly ruthless, she would just kill herself.

"You're not leaving? Tie him up and throw him out!"

Out of sight, out of mind. Master Shen ordered his servants to tie Shen Tinglan up and throw her in front of the mansion gate before she could make any move.

Seeing that they could not stir up trouble, the Guo family stood up and prepared to leave.

In the front garden, Shen Zhilan called Guo Rui and said, "Please stay."

Guo Rui paused, feeling suspicious, and after much hesitation, he stopped and asked, "Mrs. Mo, what's the matter?"

The two families have completely fallen out and will have no further contact in the future.

Guo Rui didn't expect that all his efforts would end in vain. He was so angry that his heart was twisted and ached.

“Guo Rui, you slandered Shen Tinglan for poisoning, do you think no one knows?”

Shen Zhilan made up her mind not to let the scumbag go.

Shen Tinglan got her retribution, but Guo Rui is still at large.

If we really talk about it, Guo Rui is the main culprit who should be punished.

"Mrs. Mo, it's not good to slander you without any evidence, right? I did have feelings for you back then. We were unmarried, so it's not shameful to use a little trick."

Guo Rui's heart trembled, and he forced himself to calm down and replied in a cold voice.

Shen Zhilan had already expected his rebuttal, as Guo Rui had always been like this in his previous life.

"You had an affair with Huamei and conspired to poison and slander Shen Tinglan. The poison was bought on the black market for thirty taels of silver from a man nicknamed Tian Qi."

The poison may seem serious, but drinking corn silk water can actually detoxify it.

These are the true words that Guo Rui confided after he was drunk in his previous life.

Shen Zhilan didn't say a word, Guo Rui's face darkened, his heart was in turmoil, and he asked cautiously: "Shen Zhilan, since you know so much, why didn't you reveal it to me just now?"

“Because I hate Shen Tinglan more than you.”

Shen Zhilan's tone was very cold, and she smiled, "I have no other intention to find you now. You slandered Shen Tinglan for poisoning and made a scene at the prefectural government office. Do you know the crime of false accusation?"

All members of the Guo family were involved and will all go to jail.

"So what do you mean by talking about it now?"

Guo Rui couldn't figure out where the mistake happened, so he asked tentatively.

Shen Zhilan smiled faintly when she heard this: “I’m short of money, one hundred thousand taels.”

Guo Rui threatened the Shen family and asked for 100,000 taels. Shen Zhilan also used the same method, which was very reasonable.

"you……"

Guo Rui was shocked. Apart from the land and shops, the only thing the Guo family could take out was 100,000 taels of silver.

Shen Zhilan's words were equivalent to taking away all the cash!

“The Guo family doesn’t have that many.”

First stabilize Shen Zhilan, and then Guo Rui will check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps. By then, even if Shen Zhilan sues the authorities, there will be no evidence.

"I'll only give you one night. I'll be waiting for you at the Sucheng prefectural government office at noon tomorrow."

Shen Zhilan didn't give Guo Rui any way out and turned around and left after notifying him.

Guo Rui stared at Shen Zhilan's back with deep eyes.

After returning home, the Guo family gathered together.

When Mr. Guo heard that he would be imprisoned, he panicked: "It's all my fault for talking too much, what should I do?"

“Dad, even if you don’t say it, Shen Tinglan will tell it.”

A cornered dog will do anything.

Guo Rui thought about it, sighed and said, “Dad, there is no other way, let’s listen to Shen Zhilan first, fortunately she only wants money.”

She chose not to reveal it in the Shen family. It seemed that Shen Zhilan did not want to embarrass the Guo family.

Although one hundred thousand taels is a lot, just consider it as hush money.

Wait until the Guo family's business eases, and then find a way to trip up Shen Zhilan.

"In short, let's get through the current difficulties first."

Guo Rui summoned Huamei for interrogation, but Huamei knew nothing.

Master Guo pondered for a moment, then said, "Dad knows a shady guy who specializes in trafficking tender-skinned women. The master with a perverted hobby likes to abuse them. Although Shen Tinglan is not a perfect girl, she is also the daughter of the Shen family who was expelled from the clan. Maybe she can be sold for a high price!"

At night, the Guo family found the man in black and sold Shen Tinglan for three thousand taels.

The next morning, Shen Zhilan received the 100,000 taels on time.

After she got the banknote, she said to her maid Xia'er, "It feels so good to be a rich person!"

Now, Shen Zhilan can finally understand Jiang Yuzhu's happiness.

Guo Rui handed over the banknote and said fiercely: "I hope Madam Mo will keep her word!"

Shen Zhilan glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

She just asked for money, did she promise anything?

She especially likes taking money but not doing the job!

In the afternoon, the maid Xia'er reported to the police, and the officers quickly arrested Guo Rui and his entire family and put them in jail.

Huamei quickly confessed that she and Guo Rui were in collusion.

Even after learning that he had misunderstood Shen Tinglan, Mr. Shen did not feel the slightest bit of guilt and just pretended that he did not have this daughter.

Shen Zhilan was about to set off. Before leaving, she went to Xie's house to find Xie Wei, who had never left the house.

"A blessed girl will not marry an unblessed family. The fact that you didn't marry into the Li family shows that you are lucky."

Shen Zhilan pulled Xie Wei to whisper, and pointed out, "I know the Xie family has a lot of rules, but we can say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs."

As long as you follow the rules openly, you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable in private. Why make things difficult for yourself?

After being enlightened, Xie Wei finally came to her senses and said with a smile, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law said so too."

If you can't stay in Sucheng, you can always go to another place.

Jiang Yuzhu once mentioned that she would bring Xie Wei to Beijing to find a good marriage partner for her.

"My mother is extremely picky, and she is so grateful to my third sister-in-law."

Xie Wei found it amazing. Her mother Sun taught her to learn more from Jiang Yuzhu, even if there were no rules.

You only have one life, so you have to make yourself comfortable.

It doesn't matter what others think.

"That's because your mother has finally come to her senses!"

As Shen Zhilan spoke, she took out a thousand taels of silver from her purse and stuffed it into Xie Wei's hand.

Xie Wei was stunned for a moment, and after a while she responded, “Sister Shen, why are you giving me money?”

The Xie family is not short of money, and Xie Wei also has some private money given by her parents.

Besides, she lived and ate at the mansion, and apart from occasional rewards for the servants, she had no expenses.

"I know you are not short of money, I just want to ask you for a favor."

The person from the capital is urging her to leave soon. Shen Zhilan will leave tomorrow. After she makes some money, she wants to ask Jiang Yuzhu to go out for a stroll.

"I'll give you some silver. Please ask Sister Yuzhu to experience the characteristics of Sucheng on my behalf."

What is available in Suzhou may not be available in Beijing.

Shen Zhilan thought it was a normal thing, but Xie Wei thought it was wrong and asked, "Is it really like this?"
