Through the Book: The Years I Became the Imperial Consort

His Majesty had just ascended the throne but ordered the raid of Grand Tutor Shen's residence. His cruel methods shocked the court and the public.

After that family disaster, Shen Mingzhu...

Chapter 7 Wasteful Items

Shen Mingshu moved her small storeroom to her yard.

Mingzhuang blinked, then realized that there seemed to be such a thing in the book.

To vent her anger, Shen Mingshu moved her belongings to Cuixuan Residence, intending to humiliate Shen Mingzhuang and then, after provoking her, go and complain to Madam Lin.

This unique thought process is truly something else.

At the time, she just thought it was a joke and laughed it off, never expecting that she would become the person involved and experience it all again.

In the courtyard, a mountain of gold and silver jewelry was dazzling. It has to be said that Shen Mingshu was quite wealthy. Each of these items was not cheap on its own, but now they were piled up in her courtyard like cheap goods, with the gold and silver utensils clanging and jingling.

Xue Rong helped Ming Zhuang up, and the two stood under the eaves, their eyes dazzled by the golden light emanating from the courtyard.

“Ninth Sister, I heard you haven’t been feeling well lately. Just the other day, my maternal grandmother invited Abbess Jinghe from Daci Temple, and I also had your fortune told. She said you have a heavy heart but little fortune, and you need to use some precious things to suppress it, otherwise you will easily fall ill.”

Master Jinghe… Mingzhuang lowered her eyes and sneered. The charlatan in the book had appeared so early, which surprised her.

Looking at the glittering golden utensils filling the courtyard, Mingzhuang smiled and bowed to Shen Mingshu, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, sister. I would be impolite to refuse these things."

After saying that, he winked and smiled at Xue Rong. Xue Rong understood and immediately told the other maids to tidy up the things in the courtyard.

Shen Mingshu had originally intended to show these things to Shen Mingzhuang, so that she wouldn't think she was so capable and flaunt her possessions. She brought these things here today to see Shen Mingzhuang's reaction, but she didn't expect... Shen Mingzhuang to accept them all?

Still seething with anger, Shen Mingzhu clenched her teeth as she punched a piece of soft cotton.

"I never said these things were gifts for you."

If Lin Shi knew that she had given all this food to the dogs, she would probably beat her up. Shen Mingshu felt guilty and couldn't help but defend herself.

Upon hearing this, Mingzhuang looked surprised and somewhat flustered, saying, "Why did Third Sister bring these things here? Aren't they for me?" Then she looked around and said, "There's no one else in this courtyard."

Just as Ming Shu was about to answer, Shen Mingzhuang covered his lips and laughed as if he knew everything, "Of course, if Third Sister is reluctant to part with them, then take them all back. Although the Lin family is richer than a country, Third Sister is still a granddaughter, not the same as a direct descendant. What you have today, you may not have tomorrow."

Shen Mingshu felt a little annoyed. If she had known this would happen, she would have found a different way to mess with her. Now she had been outmaneuvered by Shen Mingzhuang again, and she felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow this insult!

Her maternal grandparents' Lin family had always treated her very well, and Shen Mingzhu couldn't stand anyone saying such things. Shen Mingzhu immediately became unhappy and kicked away a small, exquisite gilded canary cage in front of her, her face turning bright red: "Don't talk nonsense! These things are nothing in my maternal grandparents' family. If you like them, you can take them. If you lose these, my maternal grandmother will definitely find something better for me!"

After saying that, he turned around and stormed off angrily.

Looking at Shen Mingshu like this, Mingzhuang suddenly wanted to laugh. Actually, Shen Mingshu wasn't too bad; she was just a bit strong-willed, but in reality, she was simple-minded.

Otherwise, who would give up their hard-earned savings just because someone provoked them a few times?

Looking at the two large boxes full of gold and silver utensils, Qiu Tang and Man Huan found it difficult to carry them, so they asked a few maids to help carry them into the inner room of Ming Manor.

In the Moonlit Courtyard, Madam Lin also heard about this. She was so angry that she dropped the hairpin in her hand with a clang. She frowned and said to her head maid, Qiuyue, "Go and bring my good-for-nothing spendthrift son here!"
