In her previous life, Shen Qiyin endured extreme torture to beg the eunuch Qin Li to save her imprisoned father. After being tortured into a cripple, her family abandoned her to fend for herself on...
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin glanced at Madam Shen with a deep, enigmatic look, a half-smile playing on her lips.
Originally, she had no intention of interfering further in the matter of divorcing her wife, because she could fully foresee how miserable the situation would be for a woman who had been divorced.
But at this moment, she changed her mind.
She's going to make things even worse for her!
Furthermore, when Madam Shen mentioned the reward money that Shen Qiyin was holding, Shen Cang was not unmoved, but he also knew very well that it was not something he could get his hands on in a few words.
However, Madam Shen's dowry is within his grasp!
So Shen Cang said, "It's none of your business as an outsider to interfere in matters between my daughter and me."
"What you need to do is bring me your dowry right away."
"If this hole can really be filled, I might consider not divorcing you."
That sounds like a lie.
But Madam Shen, whose mind was in turmoil, believed it anyway.
Because she had no other choice but to believe.
She had no one left in her family to rely on. She was a helpless woman with a lot of money, wandering around. What difference was there between her and walking into a beggar's den with a meat bun in her hand?
Stealing or robbing is fine, but if it gets serious, she might even lose her life.
Even if we take a step back, given the current state of the Shen family, based on her understanding of Shen Cang and the old lady, they wouldn't just stand by and watch her take away all her dowry; they might even resort to desperate measures.
In that case, she might as well take out the money herself; perhaps she could use that to negotiate with them.
Therefore, after hearing that Shen Cang had reassured her, Madam Shen hurriedly returned to her Ningxiang Courtyard to retrieve the tickets.
Those are tickets from Tongbao Money Shop.
The document states that a total of 3,726 taels of silver were deposited.
Only after receiving the ticket did Shen Cang feel at ease.
Madam Shen looked at him with hopeful eyes: "Master..." Can he not divorce her?
To everyone's surprise, Shen Cang stuffed the paper into his sleeve and immediately turned hostile, saying, "Men, throw her out of here!"
"Master?!" Madam Shen was shocked.
The servants were already waiting in the room, and before she could say anything, they dragged her out.
Madam Shen immediately went mad: "Let me go! Let me go!"
"I am the mistress of this mansion. Don't you even listen to me anymore?"
Seeing that they remained unmoved, Madam Shen turned her gun on Shen Cang and began to hurl insults at him: "Shen Cang, you've gone back on your word! You're not human! You're a beast, a beast!"
"Aaaaaah... I gave you all my dowry, you promised me... you promised me..."
I curse you to a terrible death!
"Yin'er, help your mother, please help your mother!" She struggled frantically, kicking and rolling around, completely disregarding her image: "You've always been filial, how can you bear to watch your mother fall into such a state?"
She cried and made a scene, but seeing that Shen Qiyin was unmoved, she, as always, tore off her mask again.
"You ungrateful wretch! You're a complete ungrateful wretch!"
"Hahaha... Your father is a big ingrate, and he gave birth to a little ingrate like you..."
As she was dragged further and further away, her voice grew softer and softer.
Following Shen Cang's orders, the servants dragged Madam Shen to the bottom of the steps outside the gate, shoved her to the ground without a second thought, and threw the letter of divorce in front of her.
"The master said that from now on, you will have no further connection with the Shen family."
"If you don't want to embarrass the Second Miss for no reason, you'd better leave quickly and not become a laughing stock."
After the old woman finished speaking, she ordered the servant to close the door.
Madam Shen rose in a disheveled state and rushed to the front door, pounding on it frantically: "Open the door! Open the door! I am the matriarch of the Shen family, the only mistress of this mansion!"
“I gave him all my dowry, so he can’t divorce me.”
"My daughter is the village head; she won't abandon me, she won't!"
...
She cried and wailed, attracting passersby to stop and watch.
Upon hearing her tearful account, everyone was astonished.
"Why did Mr. Shen suddenly divorce his wife when everything was fine?"
"Everything's fine now. Don't you know what happened in Osmanthus Lane before?"
"Alas, it's such a pity that Madam Shen was such a good person." An old woman shook her head and sighed softly. "I heard that she treated all the younger generation as her own children, and many of the clothes and accessories she wore were made by her own hands. She truly had the demeanor of a matriarch of a great family."
On the fourth day, standing in the crowd with his arms crossed, he heard this and spat out the straw in his mouth. He sneered, "Old lady, you're wrong. She never treated those illegitimate children as her own. Those who were truly born to her would never have lived such a good life."
"If they truly cared for the second daughter, how could they bear to let her, a young woman, go out into the world to seek medical treatment and earn money?"
"If they treat their own children this way, what about those who aren't their own? Even if they're the best to them, it's just for show, just to gain a reputation for being virtuous."
Butcher Zhang, carrying a pig's head, passed by and couldn't help but agree: "Young man, you're young, but you see things very clearly."
"If I, Old Zhang, were in this situation, I wouldn't care if he was my father or mother. If he's heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'd just chop him up and be done with it."
“Your chatty style is just like mine. Here, take these two pig ears and have them with your drinks.”
...
As more and more people gathered around, Madam Shen not only did not stop, but instead seemed to have given up, shouting louder and louder, as if she wanted everyone to know that the Shen family had wronged her.
Because she was so excited and exerted so much force, her palms were bright red and even slightly bleeding.
