Chapter 127 The Liao Family Makes a Scene at the Shen Mansion

Shen Wantang coldly retorted, "Of course I can't compare to my sister. After getting married, she can still live at her parents' house with her husband every day. Since you like your parents' house so much but not your husband's, why didn't you just find a son-in-law to live with you? That way, your husband could rightfully come back to live with you in the Shen family, and the children you have in the future could also take the surname Shen. You are suffering a lot now."

Shen Mingxuan snorted coldly: "My husband is destined for great things, how could he possibly marry into my family!"

"But now, he's no different from someone who has married into another family."

Shen Mingxuan's face turned ugly. Liao Youhe originally refused to live in the Shen family, saying that living there would make people look down on him. He insisted on taking her back to the Liao family to live. She argued with him several times, and later cried and begged him. After a long time of fussing, Liao Youhe finally reluctantly agreed to stay.

If Liao Youhe heard such words, he would be even less willing to stay!

"Shen Wantang, stop making sarcastic remarks. You He lives here only because of the strong academic atmosphere in the capital. He can find like-minded students to discuss academics with! He is going to pass the imperial examination in the future, so why would he care about some gossip!"

Shen Mingxuan approached Shen Wantang and said in a gloomy tone, "As for you, you're not doing so well after marrying into the Prince's mansion, are you? I've heard that Chu Yanluo has been sleeping with other men, but the Prince still forgave her and still loves her to death."

"I can tell you plainly that you will never be able to win over Chu Yanluo in this lifetime. The young master will never like you, and you will be living a life of widowhood in the Ning Prince's Mansion forever!"

Shen Wantang suddenly laughed. She and Shen Mingxuan were indeed sisters. They had both lived two lives and had both lived as widows together for two lifetimes.

However, the difference is that Shen Wantang feels that not touching men is not bad at all, and it can even be said that it reduces a lot of pain, while Shen Mingxuan seems to care a lot about this matter. She is still resentful about being a widow in her previous life.

Unfortunately, she will have to live a life of widowhood again in this life.

Seeing that she could still laugh, Shen Mingxuan gritted her teeth: "What are you laughing at? Hmph, forcing a smile won't help. Your fate is sealed. You will never have a good end! Don't think that just because Chu Yanluo is gone, you can win the prince's favor. Let me tell you, it's impossible! Never!"

"Even if Chu Yanluo marries Gu Qianhan in the future, Xiao Qingyuan will still like her. He might even go back to the Gu family to snatch Chu Yanluo back, divorce you, and make Chu Yanluo his legal wife!"

After listening, Shen Wantang remained unmoved. She calmly said, "Sister seems to know the young master quite well, but you don't know him thoroughly enough. What you said is only half right."

"Half? What are you pretending for? How could I only be half right? My understanding of the Crown Prince is beyond your imagination. I'm sure I'm completely right!"

“You’re not right. The Prince might take Miss Chu back, but divorce is impossible. I am the only Princess Consort of the Prince of Ning’s mansion. Even if Miss Chu returns to the mansion, she will at most be a concubine.”

Shen Wantang's composure contrasted sharply with Shen Mingxuan's indignation. She gently turned the lustrous jade bracelet on her wrist, her tone indifferent: "Sister, she's just a concubine. I won't care. Every family has concubines and maids. Father has one, my eldest brother has one, and my second brother has one too. So, you don't need to be so indignant. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the one who married into the Ning Prince's mansion!"

Shen Mingxuan proudly raised her head: "You don't know this, do you? My husband, Liao Youhe, will never have any concubines or maids! He will only have me as his legal wife in the future, and he will never take a concubine. Even if the princess wanted to be his concubine, he wouldn't want her! He is the only good man in the world. It's a pity that you don't have the good fortune to marry him. Now, all the good fortune is mine!"

Shen Mingxuan was very proud of stealing Shen Wantang's husband from her previous life.

It's true that most men have multiple wives and concubines, but there are also men who are not lecherous, such as Liao Youhe. He was focused on pursuing a career in government and achieving fame and success. After that, he only stayed with his wife and lived a peaceful life, and he didn't bother with philandering at all.

Such a good man is one in a million. Fortunately, she was reborn, and God gave her a chance to choose again. Naturally, she chose Liao Youhe without hesitation.

A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Wantang's eyes. Shen Mingxuan would soon find out why Liao Youhe had no concubines or maids. She just didn't know if she would still be able to laugh when she found out the real reason.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside, and several people rushed in.

Shen Wantang looked closely and saw that the person who rushed in first was none other than Liao Youhe's mother, Madam Zhen.

Following behind her, shouting, were Liao Youhe's four younger siblings who were not yet adults.

The Shen family's courtyard, which was not large to begin with, suddenly became extremely crowded after the five of them rushed in.

Shen Wantang was taken aback. Why were they here? In her previous life, after she married into the Liao family, the Liao and Shen families rarely interacted, and Madam Zhen never visited the Shen family.

She turned to look at Shen Mingxuan, only to find that Shen Mingxuan's astonishment was no less than hers. Clearly, she had not expected that Madam Zhen would bring the children to the capital.

Shen Guannian and his wife Qi didn't even recognize that this was their good in-law, because Zhen and her children were dressed in extremely shabby clothes.

They were emaciated and their clothes were ill-fitting, worn and tattered, looking like they had been worn for years. Their shoes were patched, and some of the patches were even torn apart by their toes.

The maids of the Shen family were all dressed better than them; Zhen's group looked like beggars.

Shen Guannian was already in a bad mood, and seeing them, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "Who let these beggars in? Are the old women at the door all dead? Men, throw them out right now!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Madam Zhen raised her hand and slapped Shen Mingxuan hard across the face.

Caught off guard, Shen Mingxuan let out a scream.

Shen Guannian roared in anger: "What are you doing?!"

Madam Qi hugged her daughter tightly, heartbroken, and shouted angrily, "What kind of thing is this, daring to come to my house and beat my daughter? Someone, report this to the authorities! I'll throw this old hag in jail!"

Surrounded by a group of maids and servants, Zhen Shi didn't care at all. As a widow raising a bunch of children, she was used to being fierce and had no fear of Shen Guannian and Qi Shi.

She spat and shouted, "Listen up! I am Liao Youhe's biological mother and Shen Mingxuan's biological mother-in-law! My daughter-in-law is unfilial. It's one thing for her not to serve her mother-in-law, but she even managed to steal my precious son away. What's wrong with me teaching her a lesson?!"
