Chapter 85 Life Score
After the matter was settled, Yun took Lady Zhaoping to see the old lady. This time, the old lady did not make things difficult for Lady Zhaoping, and the wedding date agreed upon by Yun and Shen Ji was postponed according to her wishes. If the old lady had continued to make things difficult for Lady Zhaoping, she would have been criticized.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping did not stay long in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. She sat for a while and then said goodbye.
The second wife was busy preparing the betrothal gifts. She had already agreed with Mrs. Qu to send the betrothal gifts to the Qu Mansion the day after tomorrow.
On the day when the second house came to pay the betrothal, Shen Wan said good morning to the old lady and was about to go back, but was stopped by Shen Yao, "Second sister, we are going shopping, do you want to come?"
Shen Wan didn't want to go shopping, and she didn't want to go with them, "You guys go, I won't go."
Chen Wu curled her lips and said, "I told you she wouldn't go with us, but you still didn't believe me."
The old lady looked at Shen Wan, “Sisters from the same house, why are you so estranged?”
Chen Wan said calmly, "It's not that I don't want to go shopping, it's that I'm out of money. I'm afraid my uncle and aunt in the afterlife will be angry about my father treating my cousin badly, so I spent all my money on buying jewelry for my cousin."
It was a loud slap, not only hitting Shen Wu and Shen Ti in the face, but even the old lady was not spared.
The Second Master deceived his brother like this. Compared with the Second Master, what does it matter if she just refuses to go out shopping with Shen Wu and Shen Ti?
The second wife can do things that hurt the relationship between siblings, but she can't separate from the second wife's life, right? Even if she is the old lady, she can't be so unreasonable.
The old lady looked a little unhappy, but said nothing more.
Chen Wu said, "If she doesn't want to, we can just go by ourselves."
Chen Wu stood up, but at this moment, a maid came in with a note in her hand and said, "Third Miss, Princess Yunluan invites you to go to Prince Kang's Mansion to appreciate the flowers."
Didn’t Chen Wu sneak into Prince Kang’s Mansion just two days ago? Why would Princess Yunluan send an invitation to invite Chen Wu to appreciate the flowers?
Chen Wan felt strange. Seeing Chen Wu again with such reluctance on her face couldn't be a good thing, especially if she came for the Yun family's painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
Thinking of how Chen Wu had asked the Yun family for something under her name in her previous life, Chen Wan became a little worried. The painting was in the Yun family. If someone really asked for it under her name, the Yun family might not refuse to give it to her.
She would rather destroy the painting than let them get it for free!
She has to go to the Yun family.
After leaving Shou'an Hall, Chen Wan went to Mingyue Garden and called Chen Yu along. The two sisters took a carriage to the Yun family.
The carriage stopped in front of the Yun family's gate, and Shen Wan asked the Yun family's gatekeeper, "Is my eldest cousin in the mansion?"
The servant shook his head, "The eldest young master left the house early in the morning."
Chen Yu said, "My cousin is always busy, do you need to see him?"
Chen Wan also knew that Yun Yan was busy. Not only Yun Yan, but also his grandfather and uncles were all busy, otherwise how could they have earned such a wealth that could rival a country.
Shen Wan said, "I just have a few words to tell my cousin. If I meet my cousin, I will tell him in person. If I can't meet him, I can ask my cousin to pass it on."
The two went to pay their respects to Old Madam Yun.
Inside the house, Old Madam Yun was sitting on the Arhat couch, and Madam Yun showed the prepared list to Old Madam Yun for review.
The maid came in and said, "Madam, the eldest and second cousins are here to pay their respects to you."
Madam Yun looked up and saw Shen Wan and Shen Yu enter.
"Grandma."
The two shouted in unison, making Old Madam Yun smile widely, "Come and sit next to Grandma."
Shen Wan and Shen Yu were on each other's left and right. Madam Yun held their hands and said, "I just reminded your mother a few days ago that you should say hello in advance when you came, but you forgot again."
Since Chen Wan and Chen Yu couldn't eat the bear paw and camel hump that the Yun family sent, the Yun family simply stopped sending them.
Old Madam Yun was very angry but helpless, so she told the Yun family to let them know in advance when Shen Wan and Shen Yu would come, and she would have someone prepare food. If they couldn't eat it at Duke Dingguo's Mansion, it would be the same if they ate it at the Yun family.
Shen Wan said, "Grandma has wronged Mother. It was me who suddenly decided to bring my eldest sister to the Yun family."
Madam Yun patted Chen Wan's hand and looked at Chen Yu, "Why is the wedding date postponed?"
Shen Yu was thin-skinned and blushed when asked. Shen Wan answered for her, "The old lady wants my second brother to get married first..."
Old Madam Yun frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
She said that Yun and Shen Ji were not the kind of people who would act impulsively, and sure enough, it was Madam Shen's idea again.
Thinking about how the old lady couldn't discipline her own sons and grandsons, and thus implicated her two granddaughters, Old Lady Yun was filled with rage. There was also the precedent of Chen Yu in Shangshu Mansion, Qu Shangshu, who pushed her daughter into the fire pit for the so-called reputation. After all, she was the Shangshu's daughter, so was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married?
However, since the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had already decided on something, Old Madam Yun would not say anything in front of the Yun family, let alone in front of Shen Wan and Shen Yu.
But even though Old Madam Yun didn't say it, Shen Wan knew, "Eldest Sister will get married either next month or in July."
Madam Yun said, "It's hot in July, and getting married will be very difficult."
Madam Yun said, "Then we should prepare the dowry in advance, just in case she gets married next month."
Chen Yu said, "The Yun family has already sent me some makeup."
Madam Yun laughed, "Do you still think adding more dowry is too much? Your grandfather and I are very happy that you and the Prince of Zhaoping can continue your relationship."
Chen Yu was about to refuse, but Madam Yun laughed and said, "Why should we be so formal with the Yun family? It's just you youngsters who spend money. If you spend happily, your uncle and cousin will also earn money vigorously."
The Yun family is rich enough to rival a country and has a good reputation. The Yun family is well aware that there are many people who are plotting against them. Chen Yu and Chen Wan married well and they can also serve as a backer for the Yun family. If the Yun family falls one day, who knows who will benefit from the accumulated wealth.
Chen Yu no longer refused.
Shen Wan was talking to Old Madam Yun, and when she didn't see Yun Miaoyun coming for a while, she asked, "Where are my cousins? Aren't they at home?"
Madam Yun smiled and said, "They went out to play."
Shen Wan said, "What an unfortunate coincidence..."
Chen Yu said, "My eldest cousin and cousin are not here, what should I do about your problem?"
Madam Yun looked at Shen Wan, "Do you have something to do with them?"
Shen Wan said, "It's just that I'm worried about something, and I want to remind my cousin. I'll tell you the same thing, grandma."
Shen Wan leaned over to Old Madam Yun and whispered a few words into her ear.
Old Madam Yun frowned again and again.
After Shen Wan finished speaking, a little maid came in quickly and said anxiously, "Something happened to the fourth young master of the Dingguo Mansion..."
Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What happened?"
The little maidservant said, "Master Shen Si was drugged with an aphrodisiac and had physical contact with the eldest daughter of Minister Qu's mansion..."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Chen Yu, “……???”
Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion.
Shen Wan's eyes opened wide.
This news is so explosive!
Today is the day when the Second Madam goes to Shangshu Qu's residence to propose marriage, but her daughter-in-law turns out to be her niece's wife. The Second Madam would be furious if she knew this.
