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...
When they arrived at Guangrentang, they saw Shen Qiyin about to leave. Upon asking, they learned that something had happened at home.
In fact, Shen Qiyin was unaware of the specifics of the situation at home. She had only heard that Shen Cang had been arrested for using counterfeit documents and was required to pay a fine.
But where would they get the money? They'd inevitably be eyeing her money.
Ever since Old Madam Shen secretly stole her money last time, she had already secretly instructed Lu Shan and Chu Si to move all the valuables out of the house.
Thinking it wasn't enough, she put paper money and paper figures into the box, thinking of giving the next person who wanted her money a "big surprise".
Knowing Old Madam Shen as she did, she knew that if she couldn't find the money, she would most likely make trouble for Xianglan, which was why she rushed back.
Xianglan was already crying from fright, and now that she saw Shen Qiyin, even though her backer had come, she cried even harder: "Ahhh...Miss, they're all bullying me..."
"They forced me to kneel down."
They even tried to hit the soles of my feet with a board.
Shen Qiyin held her close, wiping away her tears. His gaze swept over everyone present, and he uttered a few words in a low, detached tone: "Let's see who dares!"
Xianglan huddled in her arms, pointing angrily: "Her!"
When Wang Mama was "pointed out", her body immediately stiffened.
Before Shen Xiyin could even speak, Ren Dong kicked him!
Granny Wang finally managed to climb out of the snowdrift, but before she could even shake the snow off herself, she slipped and fell face-first into the mud, almost breaking her bones.
Honeysuckle grabbed the back of her neck and pressed her head into the snow.
Granny Wang wailed loudly, "Old... Old Madam, help me, my life..."
She ate several large mouthfuls of snow, her teeth chattering from the cold.
Old Madam Shen watched this scene in horror, her face practically screaming with fear.
She didn't dare say a word.
The clothes that Ren Dong wore were a nightmare for her the rest of her life.
She still can't forget the scene of the Thousand Eagle Guards rushing into the Shen family and taking Shen Cang away. She can still stand up now only because of the cane in her hand. She can't bring herself to speak.
Not to mention, Ren Dong's murderous aura and the ruthlessness between her brows were completely different from before. Even Old Madam Shen was afraid that she would "feed" Wang Mama, so she turned around and threw her into the snow pile as well.
Shen Qiyin just watched, not stopping them, but saying, "Eat, eat more, so you can be on your way."
Granny Wang was so frightened that she fainted.
Finally, Jiang Wan boldly said, "Second Miss can discipline the servants however she wants, but the master urgently needs money right now, so you'd better not waste his time."
Without saying a word, Shen Xiyin went up and slapped him.
With a "smack," the hairpin in Jiang Wan's hair was flung off.
She looked at Jiang Wan with cold eyes: "Who gave you permission to speak?"
"I..." Jiang Wan covered her burning face, filled with anger, but she had to suppress it and try her best to remain rational, saying, "I was just trying to give you a friendly reminder."
"The dumpling filling I chopped for Chinese New Year wasn't as gossipy as your mouth."
Shen Qiyin glanced at Granny Wang and asked Jiang Wan meaningfully, "You like to chatter so much, are you hungry too?" Did she also want Ren Dong to feed her some snow?
Jiang Wan was suddenly startled: "...Second Miss is right, yes, yes, this servant was too talkative." She even changed her self-reference.
"Since you're so worried about your father, why don't you use your own money to bring him back?"
"Where would I get the money?"
"Didn't your father give you so much silver before? What? You've spent it all?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan knew something was wrong.
really!
As Shen Qiyin finished speaking, both Madam Shen and Li Zhenzhu looked at her.
Li Zhenzhu believed that Shen Cang had secretly entrusted all the silver to her for safekeeping in order to guard against her.
However, Madam Shen knew that before Jiang Wan entered the manor, Shen Cang had put a lot of effort into her.
Regardless of the circumstances, it was enough for these two women to regard Jiang Wan as a thorn in their side.
Madam Shen frowned and said, "Why aren't you taking out the money? What are you waiting for?"
"Madam, I..."
Where did she get the money?
Her cousin is still chasing her for money, and she hasn't given it to her yet.
But if you say no...
No sooner had she thought that than Shen Qiyin said meaningfully, "Grandmother, why don't you just ask Lan Ge'er? He's a child, unlike adults who can keep things to themselves."
Jiang Wan became anxious upon hearing this.
She quickly said, "Lan Ge'er's illness has just started to improve, so please don't frighten him."
The key issue is that the child has no sense of propriety, and she's afraid he might say something he shouldn't.
"It's just about using money to save the master, I'll go."
For now, she has no choice but to pawn her jewelry.
He then took out the last bit of silver he had left, and barely managed to scrape together the fifty taels.
Jiang Wan helped Shen Cang leave the yamen. In the crowd, a woman of about fifty years old spat with displeasure and muttered to herself, "You heartless little slut, you clearly had money but lied and said you didn't. Just wait and see how I deal with you..."
Now let's talk about the other side.
Shen Cang was seething with anger, and upon returning to the manor, he went straight to Ningxiang Courtyard, where Madam Sun resided.
He casually broke off a branch and began to beat Sun Shi wildly, demanding to know where the real tickets were.
Sun couldn't answer; she had no idea what had happened.
"Master, please stop hitting me, I don't know..." She tried to dodge, but with chains on her feet, where could she hide? "What do you mean by real or fake? I have no idea."
