Chapter 50 Lessons
A young girl is always in love. The young Shen Qingrong was full of joy and admiration. She wanted to pursue the one she loved regardless of the consequences, and she was completely confused.
However, Shen's mother and Mrs. Shen knew that the man Shen Qingrong admired was a delusion, and marrying Lu Mingke was her best choice. Therefore, they did not agree to cancel the engagement, and confined Shen Qingrong before her marriage, asking Jiang Shu to persuade her.
Jiang Shu scolded Shen Qingrong in anger and persuaded her for nearly two months. Shen Qingrong finally compromised, but she hated Jiang Shu for it. It's
a thankless job, and she is not a human being inside or outside. Shen Qingrong is an ungrateful wolf who can never be fed.
Hearing Shen Qingrong still talking bad words in the house, Jiang Shu's face turned cold and he walked in.
"I wonder how my younger sister, after marrying into the Lu family, became respectful to her mother-in-law, listened to her teachings, and cared for her husband. Why don't you tell me so that I can learn from her?"
Shen Qingrong was almost choked when she was caught in the throat by Jiang Shu's sudden appearance.
"You actually eavesdropped, shameless."
Jiang Shu laughed.
It is not shameful to gossip about others behind their backs, but it is shameful to catch them. It is really ridiculous.
"Since my younger sister is so angry, why not ask Mr. Lu to judge. By the way, I will tell Mr. Lu about the past, so that Mr. Lu can understand why you hate me so much."
"You dare!" Shen Qingrong's face turned green with anger, and her delicate body trembled with fear and anger.
After four years, she is no longer an ignorant and delusional girl. She is very satisfied with her current rich and stable life, and will not allow anyone to destroy it.
Jiang Shu said in a cold voice: "Then let's give it a try."
In the past, Jiang Shu would never do such a thing that would harm others and benefit herself.
But facing someone like Shen Qingrong who is ungrateful and repays kindness with grievances, she doesn't mind using some despicable means.
The two of them were confronting each other with swords drawn. When Shen's mother was about to persuade her, Jiang Shu turned around and walked out.
"Shu'er, Shu'er..." Shen's mother was frightened and hurriedly chased after him.
Shen Qingrong didn't expect Jiang Shu to be so daring. After a moment of stunned silence, she shouted angrily: "Jiang Shu! Stop!"
Jiang Shu's footsteps were brisk, and he had already stepped out of the door, with no intention of stopping at all.
Shen Qingrong was anxious, and trotted out to stop Jiang Shu.
"Get out of the way." Jiang Shu looked indifferent.
Shen Qingrong said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I... I will let my elder brother divorce you."
"Yes, divorce you."
Thinking that she had found Jiang Shu's fatal point, Shen Qingrong repeated it deliberately, holding her chin high and arrogantly, not taking Jiang Shu seriously at all.
"Divorce me" Jiang Shu seemed to have heard a big joke.
Shen Qingrong snorted complacently: "You are a daughter of a merchant, and you were divorced by the Marquis' Mansion and returned home. I don't think anyone in the capital dares to marry you."
"Before that, why don't we see if Mr. Lu will get tired of you?" Jiang Shu sneered, not afraid at all.
She had been in this Marquis' Mansion for a long time, but if she wanted to leave, it would never be a divorce!
"Jiang Shu, don't be so shameless!" Shen Qingrong was so angry that she wanted to tear Jiang Shu's mouth.
Seeing that neither of them would give in, the quarrel became louder and louder. Shen's mother was afraid of being heard and was very anxious.
Fortunately, the servants in the courtyard went to prepare the birthday banquet and no one heard it.
"Shu'er, don't bother with Qingrong. You know her temper best."
"Qingrong, what nonsense are you talking about? Shu'er will always be your sister-in-law."
Shen's mother tried to resolve the quarrel by persuading both sides.
But Shen Qingrong was used to being arrogant in front of Jiang Shu, and still thought that Jiang Shu was the soft persimmon that she could squeeze at will.
Jiang Shu, who had suffered enough grievances, became proud and no longer swallowed his anger.
"Pa!" Jiang Shu raised his hand and slapped Shen Qingrong.
Shen Qingrong was stunned by the beating. She tilted her head, covered her face and stared at Jiang Shu in disbelief.
"You dare to hit me?"
Shen Qingrong was furious. She had been spoiled by her family since she was a child, and no one was willing to touch her. Even after marrying into the Lu family, she was verbally reprimanded for any mistakes, and no one had ever touched her finger.
And Jiang Shu, a lowly daughter of a merchant, dared to hit her!
"You are disrespectful to my elder sister-in-law, you talk nonsense, you stir up trouble, and you mess up the family. I will hit you."
Jiang Shu's pretty face was cold, her body was straight, and her petite figure exuded an attractive aura, which stunned Shen's mother and made her forget to react on the spot.
Shen Qingrong's eyes were red, and she stared at Jiang Shu with hatred, raising her hand to hit him back.
Jiang Shu had expected this, so he raised his hand and grabbed Shen Qingrong's wrist, warning her coldly: "Today's matter ends here. If you are not satisfied, let's go to Mr. Lu to have a talk and ask him to make a fair judgment."
"He is my husband, do you think he will side with you?" Shen Qingrong pretended to be calm, but in fact she felt guilty.
She knew what kind of person Lu Mingke was.
Although he loved and spoiled her, he was rigid and would never protect her, especially when it came to the reputation of the Lu family and the dignity of a man.
"Don't you know who Mr. Lu will side with?"
Jiang Shu had already seen what kind of person Lu Mingke was from yesterday's test, so she was very determined, and Shen Qingrong did not dare to go to Lu Mingke to have a talk with her. l
"You! Despicable and shameless!" Shen Qingrong gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could eat Jiang Shu alive.
She had never thought that Jiang Shu would actually threaten her.
"Take care of yourself." Jiang Shu scornfully shook off Shen Qingrong's hand and walked away.
When passing by Shen's mother, Jiang Shu did not apologize, but instead gave Shen's mother a look of disappointment and hatred.
This family of the Marquis's Mansion is a group of wolves and dogs, and none of them deserves her sincere treatment.
She wanted to maintain a superficial peace and stability, but they insisted on coming to hate her and bully her, so she would tear off this fig leaf, and no one would have a good time.
"Mother, you can see that she has been spoiled by you and is arrogant and lawless. If this continues, you will have to live your life according to her mood." As soon as
Jiang Shu left, Shen Qingrong began to gossip again.
Mother Shen sighed and said with a bit of resignation: "I am old, and Jinchu is no longer capable of managing the household. Only Shu'er can support the mansion, and the mansion cannot do without her."
"But she is too arrogant. She dared to hit me." Shen Qingrong was upset and angry. "
Come in. I will apply a handkerchief to you. Don't let Auntie see the clues. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to ask."
Shen's mother was weak in nature. She was suppressed by Old Lady Shen for half a lifetime, and her heart was already smoothed.
Although she felt sorry for Shen Qingrong being slapped, Shen's mother knew that Shen Qingrong was wrong first, and Jiang Shu had the handle in his hand, so she could only persuade her to keep things quiet.
Although Shen Qingrong was unwilling, she was afraid to cause trouble. She swallowed her anger and lived quietly for a few days.
In a blink of an eye, it was August. The birthday banquet was getting closer and closer, and the mansion was getting busier and busier.
As a guest, Shen Qingrong had nothing to do, so she made an appointment with Cheng Jinchu to chat and enjoy the scenery in the garden, watching Lu Xingyuan, Yan Yang and Yan Huan chasing snowballs.
The originally happy and harmonious scene was broken by a rabbit that strayed into the garden.
"Hey, rabbit." Lu Xingyuan was the first to find the rabbit, and ran over with his short legs, wanting to play with the rabbit.
Sensing that there was danger approaching, the rabbit kicked its legs and ran away.
"Rabbit." Lu Xingyuan didn't catch it and fell down.
Shen Qingrong saw it and ordered the maid, "Go, catch the rabbit for the young master."
