Chapter 223 Suggestions
When Sun's mother heard this, she shouted again.
"Rebellion, rebellion, son, these servants are rebelling. If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid they will climb over our heads and shit on us."
Sun Xinyao listened and looked at Shen Luoxue and said.
"Chen Luoxue, you will never be able to have children again. If you change your temper and respect my mother and take care of the family, I can still let you be Madam Sun. If you still act so ignorantly, I will give you a divorce letter."
Shen Luoxue grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at him, yelling like crazy.
"Get out, all of you get out, ah..."
Suddenly a voice sounded.
"Eldest sister, it's so lively here."
Shen Luoxue looked at Shen Luoyun who walked in in gorgeous clothes and roared with hatred.
"You should get out too. What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Shen Luoyun's expression didn't show any emotion at all.
"Look at what you said, sister. We can't even write two words like 'Chen' with one stroke. As a younger sister, how could I laugh at my elder sister? I'm naturally here to support my elder sister."
Shen Luoxue looked at Shen Luoyun with an expression that said I don’t believe it.
"Would you be so kind as to say that the sun rises in the west?"
Shen Luoyun did not argue with her anymore, but looked at Sun Xinyao and greeted him with a greeting.
"Brother-in-law."
Sun Xinyao looked at the graceful and well-educated Shen Luoyun with a polite smile on his face.
"My aunt is here, and she's just here to try to persuade your sister. How can you live like this with all the quarrels and fights every day?"
Shen Luoyun looked at Shen Luoxue before continuing.
"Brother-in-law, life has to go on. Brother-in-law, you know that my eldest sister has been raised in the palm of my stepmother's hand since she was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has been spoiled. Naturally, her temperament is a little spoiled.
But brother-in-law, my sister just gave birth to a child, so even if she has a bad temper, you should give in a little. How can you quarrel with her like this?"
Sun Xinyao spoke helplessly.
"But she can't even lay a hand on my mother. These dogs have no respect for my mother, let alone me. How can they be husband and wife?"
Shen Luoyun heard this and spoke.
"Brother-in-law, I've been busy looking at the account books these past two days and have neglected my eldest sister. However, I just asked the maid when I entered the Snow Garden. My eldest sister should respect her mother-in-law. Since ancient times, filial piety is a matter of course.
But brother-in-law, this Snow Garden was bought by my stepmother for my eldest sister to live in. For the sake of filial piety, it is understandable to let your mother live here, but letting your concubine live here and even making my eldest sister faint from anger, this is probably unreasonable.
This concubine is a concubine, half a master, but only half. It doesn't make sense for her to come to the mistress's family home and make her faint. If you don't give a reasonable explanation for this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain when my stepmother comes. After all, my stepmother loves my eldest sister the most."
Shen Luoxue listened to Shen Luoyun actually speaking for herself, and at the same time she was a little surprised, she also underestimated it.
"Fake kindness."
Shen Luoyun mentioned Madam Shen several times, and Sun Xinyao was naturally a little scared.
"Aunt, it's not that I don't want to stay with your elder sister, but your elder sister can no longer conceive. My Sun family can't be without descendants because of her. Besides, she always looks cold and indifferent. Being married to her is really too boring."
Qingmei moved a chair and placed it not far from the bed. Shen Luoyun sat down upright, showing the temperament of a young lady from a provincial capital. In addition, she had been managing the business for the past year and had dealt with many different people. Shen Luoyun had already grown up and was no longer the little girl who had to live by watching other people's faces in the backyard.
"Brother-in-law, as a young lady, I won't interfere with your relationship. However, this Snow Garden was not bought by my stepmother for my sister alone. I, the younger sister who accompanied my elder sister to live in Lingchang, also have a share here.
I just saw that you, my brother-in-law, had no place to study in peace, and it was very inconvenient for me to stay here, so I moved out and gave Xueyuan to you and my sister. I thought that you, my brother-in-law, could study in peace and pass the imperial examinations in the future, and my sister would also have a good life with you.
Secondly, my eldest sister has been pampered by our family since she was a child. The large number of people in the Snow Garden naturally disturbed her rest. I couldn't bear to see her suffer, so I gave in and moved out. It doesn't make sense for me, a proper Miss Shen, to live in the Shen family's mansion and let a concubine from another family live there. Brother-in-law, don't you think this makes sense?"
After hearing this, Mr. Sun frowned and spoke in dissatisfaction.
"Aunt, I had hoped that you, being well-educated and polite, would persuade your elder sister, but I didn't expect you to be so stingy. Your business is booming now, and you've made a lot of money, right? Even if you don't help us, you wouldn't come and fight with us for a garden, right?"
Although this person was chosen by himself and Ping'er, Shen Luoyun laughed angrily after hearing him say such shameless words.
"Huh? Fight? This originally belongs to my Shen family, how can we fight for it? Brother-in-law, if we calculate the time, my stepmother will probably arrive in the next few days. If she sees your family bullying my eldest sister like this, what do you think will happen?"
Sun's mother spoke with an ugly look on her face.
"Second Miss Shen, you are nothing more than a concubine's daughter. Your eldest sister should be the one in charge of this garden, right? You, an unmarried young woman, are meddling in your sister and brother-in-law's family affairs. Is this the way you are taught in the Shen family?"
Shen Luoyun glanced at Sun's mother indifferently and spoke calmly.
"The Shen family's upbringing is not judged by a woman alone. It relies on the words and deeds of my father and mother, and on the recognition of millions of people in the northwest."
Then he turned his gaze to Sun Xinyao.
"Brother-in-law, you are a scholar after all. You have studied the books of sages for so many years. As the saying goes, scholars are the most courageous. I don't think you would occupy my Shen family's garden to raise concubines and illegitimate children."
Sun Xinyao's face turned red and he finally spoke.
"I didn't intend for them and their child to live in Xueyuan. I just wanted to spend some time with the child..."
Shen Luoyun was too lazy to listen to him anymore. If he wasn't afraid of forcing Shen Luoxue to return to the northwest and affecting the Shen family's reputation, he would feel disgusted to say a word to such a person.
"Brother-in-law is just missing the child, that's good. I have a few words to say to my eldest sister. Please ask brother-in-law and Madam Sun to leave first."
Mother Sun wanted to say something else, but was pulled out by Mr. Sun.
"Mother, let's go out first so as not to disturb Luoxue and Auntie from talking."
Sun's mother muttered softly.
"What are you afraid of her doing? Since ancient times, women have to listen to their men. Shen Luoxue has been spoiled by you..."
Sun Xinyao pulled his mother out of the door and spoke in a low voice.
“Mother, Shen Luoyun is famous for running Lingchang’s business, so it’s better not to provoke her.”
In the room, Shen Luoxue lowered her eyes, and her expression was not very good.
Shen Luoyun sat next to her and spoke.
"Eldest sister, I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to take care of you. I'm sorry that you've been wronged."
Shen Luoxue pursed her lips and spoke angrily.
"Are you being hypocritical or are you just trying to make fun of me? You know it clearly."
Shen Luoyun didn't bother with her, and the sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth quickly disappeared.
"Sister, I'm not here to laugh at you. I really care about you. Whether you believe me or not is your business. As long as I have a clear conscience, that's all that matters."
Then he looked at Mother Qiu.
"Mother Qiu, you've been with Mother for many years, so you naturally know more than my elder sister and I. What worries my elder sister the most is He Yanling and her son. I have a small suggestion here, and you and Mother Qiu should listen to it.
He Yanling came to the mansion simply because she was a woman with no one to rely on, so she relied on the Sun family. Why don't you give her some money? I'll find a job for her somewhere else. She can leave Lingchang with her child and naturally won't bother you anymore."
