Chapter 205 Unwilling
Mrs. Shen said helplessly after hearing this.
"I have already written to your elder brother, but he just passed the imperial examination this year with great difficulty. His official position is not high. If he gets involved in these things, I am afraid it will anger your father.
Moreover, although Young Master Jun was exiled to the northwest, he is doing very well. He might even have some important connections in the Imperial City, which would make things very difficult for you, brother."
Shen Luoxue's eyes suddenly became even more disappointed.
"So, mother, in your heart, my eldest brother is still more important, right? I am just a daughter after all. In your heart, I am still a little behind, right?"
Mrs. Shen’s face was full of disappointment when she heard this.
"Luoxue, you are the one that mother loves the most. How can you say that about her?"
Mother Qiu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but speak up.
"My dear Miss, I have seen how much Madam loves you over the years. Whenever Madam has something good, she always keeps it close to you. Don't you think that will make Madam sad?"
Shen Luoxue didn't feel that she was wrong after hearing this, but her face was full of anger.
"Feeling sorry for me? If you really felt sorry for me, why didn't you take action against that bitch Su Hanchu? She's just an exiled village girl. Mother, you're the wife of a governor in the northwest. Are you afraid of the Jun family's power, or have you already despised your daughter for being a burden to you?"
Mrs. Shen never thought that she, who had been smart all her life, would give birth to such a stupid daughter.
"Luoxue, you really disappoint your mother."
Mother Qiu looked at Madam Shen’s sad face and the disappointment in her eyes, and reached out to support her arm.
"Madam, the young lady is in a bad mood, that's why she spoke so rudely. Madam, please go back and rest first. I will try to persuade the young lady."
Seeing Madam Shen's appearance, Shen Luoxue also felt that she had gone too far, but when she thought about it, her reputation was now ruined and she didn't even dare to leave the yard. As soon as she left the yard, the gazes of the maids and servants fell on her and she felt that they were endless mockery. She just watched Madam Shen leave silently.
Mother Qiu waited until Madam Shen left before she spoke earnestly.
"My dear, today, what I said may have offended you. I have been with you since I was little, watching you get married and have children, and I have also watched you grow up. Today, I will take advantage of my age and say a few words to you.
"My dear lady, Madam has loved you so much since you were little. She holds you in her hands, afraid you'd drop it, and holds you in her mouth, afraid you'd melt it. She keeps all the finest fabrics and jewelry close to you. I have to say something unpleasant, but the eldest young master prioritizes his studies, and the master often tests him on his grades. Madam has devoted most of her attention to you over the years. How can you question Madam's love for you?"
Shen Luoxue continued to lower her head and remain silent after hearing this.
Mother Qiu walked up to her and took her hand.
"My lady, if you don't wake up, you will really hurt others and yourself. I know you are sad and unwilling to accept it, but I have personally visited and investigated the matter, and there is really no clue. How can you let Madam take action against the Jun family? Do you really want Madam to anger the master and be divorced, so that you and the eldest young master will have no status in the Shen family from now on?"
Shen Luoxue's tears fell.
"But Mother Qiu, I just can't accept this. Why can't I, a young lady from a provincial capital, defeat Su Hanchu? She was the one who did it. Why doesn't anyone believe me? My father doesn't believe me, and my mother doesn't believe me either. Why is there no one in this world who believes me?"
Mother Qiu looked at her helplessly, hoping to awaken her sanity.
"Miss, are you still confused? Whether or not Madam Jun did this is not important. What's important is that the Master wants to be on good terms with the Jun family. What's important is that, regardless of whether or not Madam Jun did it, she has already cleared herself from this matter completely, and the Second Miss has personally testified that Madam Jun has always been with the Second Miss.
If it wasn't Madam Jun who did this, it's impossible for you to pin it on someone else. Even if it was someone else who did it, Miss, you were the one who provoked them first. You've already lost. If you continue like this, you'll only disappoint the Master and the Madam, and you'll be trapped in Lingchang for the rest of your life."
Shen Luoxue's eyes became empty again.
“I won’t go back to my hometown.”
Mother Qiu held her arm and looked into her eyes.
"Miss, if you wake up now, even if you go back to your hometown, with the master's instructions, the relatives there won't dare to treat you lightly. In the northwest, you can no longer choose a good marriage.
It is better to go back to your hometown and choose a suitable person. Then, with the support of the Shen family, you can live a stable life. If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to change, the master will give up on you, and you will be truly desperate. "
Shen Luoxue burst into tears after hearing this.
"I don't want to go, Mother Qiu. I left my hometown when I was young and have been separated from my family for many years. I don't even have anyone to talk to. How am I going to live my life if I go back?"
Mother Qiu held her hand.
"I will accompany you, Miss. Madam and I have been planning this for the past few days. Going back to your hometown is also a way out for you. If you can find a husband of your dreams back home, Madam will prepare enough dowry for you, and you can live a peaceful life.
If you can't choose someone you like, after a few years when the rumors have died down, Madam and the eldest young master will find a way to get you back in a new identity. By then, you will still be the distinguished eldest daughter of the Shen family."
Shen Luoxue shed tears silently after hearing this. She had always been proud and arrogant and never thought that one day she would return to her hometown in such a miserable state.
Mother Qiu saw that she seemed to be lost in thought.
"Miss, I'll bring you some food. Let's eat and have a good rest. Let's take care of ourselves for the next two days."
On the Jun family's side.
Su Hanchu talked with Shen Luoyun for a long time and finalized the development of Yue Manting and Mushroom House in Lingchang. Ping'er and Su Hanzhi were just there to assist, and once things stabilized, Shen Luoyun would take care of it himself.
Su Hanchu was drinking fruit tea.
"Okay, that's all I have to say for now. I won't be able to see you off on the day you leave. The mountains are high and the roads are long. You must take good care of yourself and your elder sister along the way. When you reach the northwest and have chosen a suitable husband for your elder sister, remember to send me a message so I can prepare a small gift."
