Chapter 271 Shen Xiangwan’s Advice
"It's nothing."
Lowering her eyes and straightening her clothes, Shen Xiangwan curled her lips and smiled, "The Tianqi Dynasty has always been governed by benevolence and filial piety. Tell me, if they go to the government office to accuse you and Shen Xiangtian of colluding to sell their legitimate mother, what will you do?"
"You, I don't know what you're talking about. My stepmother couldn't stand the hardship and ran away and never came back. I didn't sell her out."
Shen Xiangyang choked, avoiding her gaze and stammering. After selling his stepmother and the others, he always told others that they ran away with the remaining money in the family. Since most villagers disliked the commoners who were exiled here, no one would care about their affairs, so the matter of him selling his stepmother was left unresolved. However, he never dreamed that Shen Xiangwan would actually bring it up today.
Thinking that she was still her stepmother's biological daughter, Shen Xiangyang became increasingly unsure, and her panic-stricken emotions showed on her face.
"No, you sold my stepmother, my sister-in-law, and Shen Xiangyue too."
"Yes, you've told Brother Tian countless times, and we already knew it."
Hearing this, Shen Xiangtong and Shen Xiangyu both stuck their heads out to refute. It was precisely because they knew that their stepmother and the others had been sold that they were so cautious, fearing that they would wake up in a place where they shouldn't be.
During this period, they had thought about saving themselves, and even suppressed their shame and took the initiative to seduce unmarried men in the village. However, the villagers did not like exiled commoners, and everyone's life was getting better and better, so they had no worries about not being able to find wives. No one wanted them at all, which led to them being in such a passive situation now.
"Did you really sell your stepmother?"
Zhao Dashan's face was furious, and he pretended to be stern. He had known about the missing members of his family for a long time, and he had roughly guessed where they had gone. It would have been fine if the matter hadn't been made public, but now that it had, as the village chief, he still had to symbolically intervene. After all, the so-called stepmother was more valuable than his biological mother. What difference did he make selling his stepmother from selling his biological mother? He couldn't encourage this kind of trend.
"I, I didn't. They ran away on their own."
Shen Xiangyang opened his mouth, becoming increasingly flustered and guilty. His mind was already a mess. How could he not know how serious it was to sell his stepmother? If she hadn't been so aggressive and they hadn't been penniless, how could he have dared to think of selling her? He was also uneasy for a few days afterwards. Seeing that no one cared, he gradually felt relieved. But he didn't expect... What exactly did Shen Xiangwan want to do?
"Whether it was sold or not, the government will know once they investigate."
Licking her lips and looking at him meaningfully, Shen Xiangwan turned to the Shen Xiangyu sisters and said, "As both of you are born out of wedlock, you are not inferior to them. They have no right to buy or sell you at will. It is said that the new county magistrate is a true justice. If they really don't want to let you live, you can go to the county government and sue them. Privately buying and selling sisters may not be a serious crime, but selling your legitimate mother is no small matter. Even if they don't lose their heads, it's enough to send them to the exile camp."
She has shown them a clear path. If they don't stand up on their own, no one can help them.
"I···"
Looking at her and then at Shen Xiangyang, the two sisters hugging each other opened their mouths, and finally the older Shen Xiangyu gritted her teeth and said, "Madam Wei, can you lend us a carriage? We are going to the county government to sue them for selling our legitimate mother."
Even though she was terrified to the extreme, Shen Xiangyu still insisted on stating her request. She was right. They were all illegitimate children, and no one was more noble than the other. Why did Shen Xiangyang and Shen Xiangtian sell them out? Now that things had gotten out of hand, it was impossible for them to coexist peacefully. Their only way to survive was to destroy them. As for the future, she couldn't care less now.
"Chen Xiangyu!"
Shen Xiangyang glared fiercely, obviously unable to believe that they actually dared to sue him.
"Can."
Ignoring him, Shen Xiangwan nodded and agreed to them. Without her special instructions, Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying looked at each other, and one of them turned around and ran towards the Wei family.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Tears welled up in her eyes again. Shen Xiangyu hugged her sister and choked with sobs to thank her. If it weren't for her suggestion, how would she know that she could sue Shen Xiangyang and the others? If her attitude hadn't given her the confidence, how would she dare to really go to the government office? No matter what happened in the future, at least now, she was grateful to her from the bottom of her heart.
"You're welcome."
Turning her gaze elsewhere, Shen Xiangwan lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Women don't necessarily have to rely on men. We have Uncle Zhao in our village, and there are no such troublesome things as bullying orphans. You can rely on yourselves. In addition, my workshop will be recruiting workers at noon tomorrow. The perfume workshop is open to both men and women. If you are interested, you can give it a try. My requirements are simple, as long as it is clean and tidy."
Since they still had the courage to resist, Shen Xiangwan decided to give them a chance. Of course, it was impossible for them to be her sisters. If they could enter the workshop to work with their own abilities, they would have a fixed income every month, and it would not be a problem to support themselves. Moreover, they might even be able to find a good husband for themselves with this job.
"real?"
Can they really help her with the work?
The two sisters asked in disbelief that if she was really willing to hire them, at least they wouldn't be afraid of starving to death in the future.
"Anyone from the village can apply for the job. Whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself."
Facing their tearful eyes, Shen Xiangwan nodded slightly. This was all she could do to help them, and the rest was up to them.
"Thank you, thank you..."
That's enough!
The two sisters bowed and expressed their gratitude continuously, tears of emotion falling down their cheeks.
"You can't do this!"
Suddenly, Shen Xiangyang roared angrily. If they really let them go to the yamen, then he would be finished. No matter what, he must stop it.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiangyang fell to his knees with a thud: "Shen Xiangwan, I have never offended you before, please spare me."
He knew better than anyone that although Shen Xiangwan seemed to have done nothing, she had actually given Shen Xiangyu and the others some advice and given them confidence. As long as she stayed out of their business, Shen Xiangyu and the others would not be a threat.
"It's them who are going to sue you, not me. As you said, you haven't offended me, and I won't make trouble for no reason."
“Whoa!”
Looking down at him, Shen Xiangwan said lightly. At the same time, Yuan Ying, who had left not long ago, also drove a carriage and stopped beside them.
"No, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't dare..."
Seeing this, Shen Xiangyang's pupils shrank, and he knelt down and took two steps, eager to express his thoughts, but he didn't have the chance to finish. Yuan Ying jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward: "Madam, the carriage is here."
"Well, send them to the county government office and bring them back later."
"yes."
“Shen Xiangwan, you can’t do this.”
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan decided to send the Buddha to the west. Yuan Ying accepted the order respectfully. Shen Xiangyang, who was kneeling on the ground, was frightened and his roar was almost broken. But Shen Xiangwan did not intend to pay attention to him anymore. He looked at the Shen Xiangyu sisters again, nodded to Zhao Dashan, turned around and left with Yuan Yue. Shen Xiangyang had indeed not offended her, but as a man, he only knew how to sell the women in his family to make a living. It was so disgusting.
"No, Shen Xiangwan, Shen Xiangwan..."
Climbing up in a panic, Shen Xiangyang was about to chase after her, but Yuan Ying dodged and stopped him: "Please don't disturb our lady, otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can still stand here safely."
"you···"
Knowing that she also had martial arts skills, Shen Xiangyang was stunned reflexively. Yuan Ying was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked straight towards the Shen Xiangyu sisters: "Please come in, both of you."
"Yes, thank you, sister!"
After all, she was once the daughter of the prime minister, and they both bowed in greeting at the same time.
"Wait, Shen Xiangyu, you can't go to the government office. We didn't sell our legitimate mother. She is our own..."
"bump!"
"ah···"
Coming back to his senses, Shen Xiangyang tried to grab them with his backhand, but Yuan Ying's eyes darkened, and she grabbed his hand and threw him to the ground. While he was crying out in pain, the three of them climbed onto the carriage and drove away. Zhao Dashan, who had been watching the whole process, looked at the carriage going away, then at Shen Xiangyang lying on the ground wailing, then turned around and returned to his home with his hands behind his back. He was too lazy to care about these trivial matters.
