Chapter 157 The Ending of Jiang's Mother and Daughter

Shen Shaoyu was the last one to arrive. After hearing what happened, he stood there in a daze for a moment, and then rushed out.

Chen Shuyao looked at her brother's red eyes and hurriedly grabbed him, "Where are you going? Grandfather said to take the body to the manor to be dealt with, so we won't get into trouble in the mansion. Do you still want to whip the corpse?"

Shen Shaoyu paused: "He's dead now?"

If he is not dead, he will die soon. Chen Shuyao thought that Dong Qing, whom she sent, should know the news soon!

Then she heard her brother say in a bitter voice, "It's too easy for them!"

"What about Fourth Aunt? She and that vicious woman have been deceiving us for so many years..."

Chen Shuyao didn't know what to say. Wu was at fault back then. Even if she wasn't there, Jiang would still find other opportunities.

In the farm of the Shen family, Jiang's mother and daughter were held by four maids, and the other two maids each held a rope.

Although there were many of them, they were still a little scared to do such a thing.

Shen Jingshu didn't understand how things had come to this point.

She was clearly the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Shen family, and had a good marriage that everyone envied.

She once faced the princess's provocation calmly and shocked the city with her dance, and from then on she was known as a talented woman.

Unfortunately, later on... he fell into the trap set by Empress Feng and her son.

Perhaps she had been feeling unbalanced since returning home. On one side, there was Chen Shuyao and Master Xiao's glorious engagement, and on the other side, there was an abandoned woman like her who dared not go out and see people.

My mother said that my second sister took away her luck.

The father was disappointed with the mother and daughter and blatantly brought his concubine's son back home.

In addition to facing the gap in status, she also has to endure her mother's resentment every day.

So she took a risk and ordered Xiuzhu to assassinate Shen Shuyao.

He was originally a discarded pawn, and promising to let them go was just a lie, but that fool actually believed it.

Xiuzhu and her daughter followed them and knew so many secrets, how could they possibly leave?

But she didn't think about what would happen if it didn't work out. Xiuzhu was more agile than ordinary women. If she exchanged it for a secret, maybe her sister would really believe it.

Because my mother also said that she seemed to have become suspicious of the eldest wife.

But in the end, it didn't work. After being captured alive, the maid told everything. Why didn't she miss her mother and brother in the farm?

I promised to send them away secretly.

Shen Jingshu smiled somewhat mockingly.

Perhaps she would believe whatever Ruan said in the past, which made Shen Jingshu think that others would do the same.

That second sister was much more cunning than she had imagined.

She failed, just as her mother had predicted for her: the two of them had conflicting horoscopes, and only one could survive.

Shen Jingshu raised the corner of her mouth again and looked at the woman next to her, her mother Jiang.

Jiang was also looking at her at this moment, and even at this moment, her face was calm.

Jiang has always been a proud woman. Although she is the concubine's daughter of a sixth-rank official in the capital, she was able to defeat her elder sister in the mansion and win this marriage.

It was only after she got married that she found out that her husband was a bastard without any official position. Shen Changbai's mother had high hopes for her.

Her daughter was obviously born before Ruan's daughter, but it was the second branch of the family that was arranged to marry Duke Chengguo.

Jiang was unwilling to accept her fate. Ruan was just a useless woman, and Wu was as timid as a mouse. They were not as good as herself and were once played around by her. However, because of her family background, they married husbands with successful official careers.

Unfortunately, she only had one daughter, Shen Jingshu. She planned everything for this daughter, but in the end she became an abandoned woman.

This was obtained by her threatening Wu, otherwise she might have followed Zhu Ruijing to live a wandering life.

But that’s not all, Shen Changbai actually has two lively concubines.

After hearing the news, Jiang seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, so when Chen Xinian came, she didn't even struggle.

When she saw the two stupid women being driven crazy by her provocation, Jiang seemed to have received the last bit of comfort.

She had an ordinary appearance and background, but after struggling for a while, she had to leave peacefully.

Dong Qing and the servant sent by Shen Xinian stared at the two dying women. There were knots around their necks, and when their lives ended, their original hideous faces were revealed.

From that day on, Ruan fell ill. When the Fourth Lady came to the Second House to apologize, she was lying in bed.

When he saw someone, he just said quietly, "Go find Shaoyu! He has to forgive you. For so many years, he has always believed that he was too playful and didn't take good care of his sister. That's why the child's health has deteriorated."

Wu left with an embarrassed look on her face.

When Shen Shaoyu arrived at Mingxiuyuan in the evening of the next day, he saw that the fourth aunt had also come.

She was followed by two maids, carrying a box.

Chen Shuyao called out "Fourth Aunt" and asked the maid to bring her a stool. Wu Shi waved her hand and said it was not necessary. She pointed to the box in the maid's hand and said, "Here are some good things I saved up for my niece's makeup. Fourth Aunt did not do well in the past. She should not have kept it from you."

Add makeup?

It seems like we came too early.

And are there any people carrying boxes and cages to add makeup?

Shen Shuyao asked the maid in the house to answer the call.

After the fourth aunt left, she had the box opened and placed a golden nanmu box and some brocade inside.

Qiao Wei opened the box in full view of everyone, and saw a layer of red gold gemstone headdress inside. Qiao Wei turned over the things on top, and underneath were southern pearls, which were crystal clear and white, and shone with precious light.

Shen Shaoyu muttered: “It’s really a good thing!”

After saying that, she turned her head awkwardly, and Shen Shuyao asked, "Don't Fourth Aunt need to prepare something for Yun Chu?"

"Although I gave you some, it's not all." Shen Shaoyu said: "Forget it, what does it matter if I forgive you or not? Just keep it."

Chen Shuyao said, "Let's not talk about others, brother should let it go."

"In my dreams, it was my brother who kept calling me. In fact, you had a harder time than I did these years. I was still young and confused back then, so I didn't suffer as much."

"Find me a sister-in-law!" Chen Shuyao looked at his brother and suddenly said.

Shen Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "You!"

"Is that okay?" Chen Shuyao couldn't help but tilt her head to tease him.

"I will!" he whispered.

Shen Shuyao couldn't help but smile as she thought of Lu Xuanling whom she had met not long ago.
