Chapter 142 Shameless
Jiang Shu was sitting opposite the visitor and saw him from a distance, frowning.
"I've met the princess." Shen's mother bowed to greet Yu Lan.
Yu Lan waved her round fan and asked in a serious tone, "What does Madam Shen want to see me for?"
This question stumped Shen's mother, who was speechless for a moment.
When Jiang Shu was in the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, he had some dealings with the General of Pingxi Mansion. But since Jiang Shu left the Marquis' Mansion and Yan Yang injured Zhuang Yan, the two mansions were left with only resentment.
Shen's mother came to see Jiang Shu, but only to greet Yu Lan because of their status. But since Yu Lan asked, she couldn't help but answer.
"My bastard grandson hurt Young Master Zhuang, I feel really bad, I wonder if Young Master Zhuang is okay now?" Shen's mother racked her brains and managed to come up with this sentence.
Yu Lan knew that Shen's mother was not looking for her, she did it on purpose.
Jiang Shu and Sun Yijun also knew the truth, and sat leisurely to watch the show.
"Thank you for your concern, Madam Shen, my son is lucky and is fine. But I heard that the Lantern Festival will make Grandson go out to play, the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is really majestic."
Yu Lan said lightly, and Shen's mother was scared into a cold sweat.
"Princess, please forgive me, I didn't know about this matter, and I have severely reprimanded him afterwards." Shen's mother trembled and knelt down to apologize, fearing that Yu Lan would investigate further.
Although this matter has passed, if Yu Lan wants to investigate, no one can stop him.
More importantly, leaving the house without permission is just a child's playfulness and the parents' softness. If it is serious, it is arrogant and contemptuous of the emperor's authority, and the consequences are extremely serious.
"Once it was unintentional, the second time is intentional. Madam Shen must discipline her well. If it happens again, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of twenty strokes of the board for Lord Shen to get away with it." Yu Lan warned with a serious look. Shen
's mother hurriedly agreed and made promises.
Yu Lan put down his fan and drank tea. After drinking, he saw that Shen's mother had not left yet, so he frowned and said, "Madam Shen, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen's mother looked at Jiang Shu and forced a smile, "I want to say a few words to Miss Jiang."
"Oh? Then hurry up and say it, we still have things to do." Yu Lan urged.
Mother Shen looked at Jiang Shu, thinking that it would be better to say it in front of everyone. Jiang Shu would have no choice after the matter was made clear.
"Shu'er, after you left the mansion, the old lady fell ill and kept talking about you. Changze often went to the bamboo building to sit alone, regretting and missing you..."
Mother Shen said a lot, and Jiang Shu and the others frowned.
"What did Madam Shen want to say?" Jiang Shu couldn't listen any more and asked directly.
Mother Shen sat down beside Jiang Shu, holding her hand and said, "Shu'er, we all miss you, and Changze also cares about you."
"It is said that clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. A husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Can you forgive Changze and let him propose to you again?" "Do
n't worry, we will not mind you wearing men's clothes and showing up every day, nor will we restrict you from doing business. As long as you return to the Marquis' Mansion, you can do whatever you want."
Jiang Shu's brows were knotted when she heard this, and she pulled her hand away impatiently and said, "Mrs. Shen, please forgive us for a while."
Mother Shen was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.
Jiang Shu's pretty face was cold and said, "A good horse doesn't eat grass when it turns back. There is no possibility for me and Marquis Shen. If the Marquis' Mansion still cares about its face, please don't harass us again."
Mother Shen had expected Jiang Shu to refuse, so she held her hand and raised her voice.
"Shu'er, you are a woman who takes over a business and becomes the female boss. You are unorthodox and dress as a man to do business. Other noble families would not tolerate this. But we not only do not dislike you, but we also do not restrict you. This is very tolerant. Looking around Shangjing, there is no other family like you."
The ladies who love to watch the excitement, when they saw Shen's mother walking towards Jiang Shu, they had already pricked up their ears to listen.
At this time, they were shocked to hear Shen's mother say that Jiang Shu took over Jiang's and became the female boss.
Jiang's is one of the five major businesses in Shangjing. Jiang Shu took over Jiang's. Doesn't it mean that all the wealth of the Jiang family is in her hands?
This news shocked the ladies of each family, and they immediately calculated in their hearts.
Seeing the shock on everyone's face, Shen's mother thought her words worked and was secretly proud.
As long as she was rejected by all the families in the capital, Jiang Shu had no choice but to marry into the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion again.
Jiang Shu was so angry that her body trembled slightly, her face was as cold as frost, and she said in a cold voice: "Even if no one dares to marry me, I will never marry into the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion again!"
She didn't care about Shen's mother revealing these things, but she was angry at Shen's mother's shameless behavior. It was really hateful that she tried to force her with such a despicable means.
Yu Lan and Sun Yijun didn't expect that the lady of the Marquis' Mansion would be so shameless, which was really despicable.
"Madam Shen, today is my birthday. If you come to celebrate for me, please observe the etiquette of being a guest. If you come to make trouble, please leave."
Sun Yijun's words were very impolite, and anyone who heard them would be embarrassed.
Originally, she didn't want to send an invitation to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. It was her parents who said that it was inappropriate to be
so blatant, so she reluctantly sent the invitation to the Marquis' Mansion. Being rebuked by a young man, Shen's mother's face turned red and white, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
She pinched her hands and looked at Madam Sun and others for help, but no one spoke for her.
Finally, it was the Crown Princess who stood up.
"Yijun, today is your birthday, don't worry." She first smiled and comforted Sun Yijun, and then said to Shen's mother: "If Madam Shen is not feeling well, go back and rest, Madam Sun won't be upset."
This was to remind Shen's mother that if she stopped, the Sun family would not care for her sake. If she continued to make trouble, she couldn't do anything about it.
Mother Shen looked at the angry Jiang Shu, her lips moved and she stood up after a moment of hesitation, and walked away with an embarrassed look.
She didn't understand why things turned out like this, it was completely different from what she expected, what went wrong?
Since the birthday banquet last year, the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion has become less and less popular. The Crown Princess was also asked by the Crown Prince to take care of it.
As soon as Mother Shen left, the ladies of the various families rushed to Jiang Shu and surrounded her and talked.
"Do you know why Madam Shen came to the banquet alone?"
Jiang Shu and others were really curious. Why didn't Cheng Jinchu show up at such an important social occasion?
"Why?" asked Sun Yijun, who was itching.
"I heard that there was a fire in the inner house of Marquis Jing'an's mansion, and Mrs. Marquis Shen had a fight with a concubine and blood was shed."
"Although Aunt Xu was a concubine, she was also a legitimate official's daughter, and was deeply loved by Lord Xu. After learning that she was bullied in the mansion and almost died, the Xu family went to the mansion to hold her accountable."
"I heard about this too. Mrs. Marquis Shen was confined to her house because of this, and Marquis Shen also promised to give half of the mansion's property to his concubine's son in the future. Only then did the Xu family agree to reconcile and did not make a fuss."
"What exactly did Mrs. Marquis Shen do?" Sun Yijun was always curious and would not give up until she found out.
An insider said: "Last year, Madam Shen had an accidental miscarriage and could not get pregnant again, so her mind became twisted. When Aunt Xu gave birth in March this year, she paid a midwife to do something during the delivery, so that Aunt Xu could not get pregnant again."
"Such a sinister thing is extremely dangerous. Aunt Xu almost lost her life."
Jiang Shu and others were shocked to hear this. They did not expect such a thing to happen in Jing'an Marquis's Mansion.
