Chapter 295 The Shen Family Trouble
Mrs. Shen finally calmed down. Her daughter always made her feel at ease.
Shen Luoyun looked at Madam Shen and gave another instruction.
"Mother, you are now the head mistress of the Shen family. You need to act like a lady of the house. There is no need to be afraid of a daughter who just got divorced. Although Concubine Zi helps take care of the trivial matters in this mansion, you also need to take the lead on the surface. Otherwise, how can we, mother and daughter, gain a foothold in this mansion?"
After saying that, he went to Shen Luoxue’s yard…
At this time, Shen Luoxue was in a rage and had smashed many of the ornaments on the table.
"You are a bunch of useless people who forget their principles when they see profit. I just left the Shen family, and now you are all rushing to curry favor with a lowly concubine. I am waiting to sell you out sooner or later..."
Mother Qiu just felt that something was wrong at this time. The people sent by the master didn't get a single word out of them, and now the maids and servants who came back home all hid far away. It was obvious that something big must have happened.
"Miss, please calm down first. After all, we just came back and know nothing about everything at home. We can't make the master angry again."
Shen Luoxue grabbed a vase on the table and threw it towards the door.
"These lowly servants at home deserve to be treated well..."
As soon as Shen Luoyun entered the door, he was almost hit by the vase, but fortunately he quickly dodged to the side.
Qingmei hurriedly stood in front of her and tilted her head to check if Shen Luoyun was injured.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Shen Luoyun shook his head slightly, pulled Qingmei's hand away, and stepped over the threshold.
"Eldest sister is so angry right after returning. Isn't it because the servants at home are not taking good care of her?"
When Shen Luoxue saw Shen Luoyun, she was furious when she thought that the Shen family was now headed by Concubine Liu.
“Chen Luoyun, are you here to laugh at me?”
Shen Luoyun just glanced at the mess on the ground and gave orders.
"Come here, clean this place up and buy some decorations for the young lady."
Shen Luoxue saw that Shen Luoyun actually ignored her, and as soon as she gave an order, all the servants in the mansion obeyed her orders, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be about to erupt.
"Chen Luoyun, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? The eldest son is respected, and you are disrespecting your elder sister. You are committing an insubordination."
Shen Luoyun looked at Shen Luoxue calmly.
"Eldest sister, Luo Yun has always respected you. As soon as I heard that you were back, I hurried back to see you. Father said he would talk to you about Xu's matter himself, so Luo Yun is not in a position to say more. I hope you can forgive me.
Although these servants are servants, they are also human beings. They are helpless and dare not speak out against the things their masters have told them to do. Eldest sister, please stop losing your temper with them. No matter how angry you are, they can only endure it and can't say anything more. "
Shen Luoxue was furious when she heard it.
"Chen Luoyun, you are so bold that you actually teach your elder sister a lesson. It seems that I am too tolerant of you, causing you to forget your own status. Today I will teach you a lesson and let you know what the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children is..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and prepared to slap Shen Luoyun.
Shen Luoyun reached out and grabbed her wrist, his tone containing a hint of warning.
"Sister, sometimes listening to advice isn't necessarily a bad thing. The war just ended and Father is busy. You should be more at peace and not cause trouble. A family should be harmonious. If Father saw you coming back and throwing things around, he would be disappointed again."
After the words fell, he swung his hand slightly, and Shen Luoxue was almost thrown and fell. Fortunately, Mother Qiu and Lihua supported her in time.
Shen Luoxue didn't expect Shen Luoyun to be so bold, and she struggled to tear Shen Luoyun apart.
"Chen Luoyun, you bitch, you actually dared to attack me..."
Suddenly a voice was heard.
"What's going on?"
Only then did they see Chenzhoufu coming quickly.
Shen Luoyun saluted gracefully.
"Hello, father. As soon as I heard that my eldest sister had returned, I hurried back to visit. Perhaps because my eldest sister had just returned and didn't see Xu, she felt disappointed and got a little mad. I was trying to persuade her. Now that you're back, I'll leave. My eldest sister and father haven't seen each other for a long time, so I think they have a lot to talk about."
First he bowed towards Chenzhoufu, and then towards Shen Luoxue, showing his propriety and good manners to the fullest.
Shenzhoufu nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, you've always been a sensible person. I heard recently that you've been taking over Yue Manting in the northwest. You've been busy but also taking care of yourself."
Shen Luoyun looked happy after hearing this.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, father."
At this time, the maid had already cleaned up the broken pieces of cups and vases on the ground.
Shen Luoxue also suppressed her anger and saluted towards the Shenzhou Mansion.
"Father."
Chenzhoufu walked to the table and sat down.
"Now that you're back, live a good life. Change your temper and don't be as spoiled as before."
Shen Luoxue stood there a little uncomfortably and spoke.
"Father, where is Mother? Why can't I see her? Why do people in the mansion call her Xu? I haven't seen her for only two or three months. What happened?"
Chenzhoufu raised his hand and waved.
"All of you please step back."
He also gave an instruction to the servant beside him.
"Guard the door and forbid any servant from eavesdropping."
Shen Luoxue became more and more flustered when she saw this.
"Father?"
Chenzhoufu looked at her and spoke slowly.
"Please sit down. I want to tell you something."
Seeing the heavy look on Shenzhoufu's face, Shen Luoxue also sat down politely.
"Father, please speak."
Chenzhoufu spoke slowly.
"Your mother colluded with the Northern Wing when we were fighting a desperate battle with them, nearly burning the food supplies. She has been sentenced to death according to the law, and the maidservant beside her has been beaten to death..."
Shen Luoxue stood up in shock, feeling a sudden pain in her heart.
"No, this is impossible. How could Mother do such a thing? Father, there must be some misunderstanding. Mother is being wronged."
Shenzhoufu sighed and shook his head.
"Luoxue, I know it's hard for you to accept this fact, but the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable. I can't save your mother either. I can only save the Shen family first, so I have already written her a letter of divorce."
Shen Luoxue's tears fell.
"What? Divorce letter, father, how could you treat mother like this? Mother is your first wife..."
Listening to Shen Luoxue’s questioning, Shen Zhoufu looked up at her.
"Luoxue, she is my father's first wife, but I am also the head of the Shen family and the governor of the Northwest Province. I am honored to be called the Governor by the people of the Northwest. Even if my wife is not a great hero who has made great contributions to the people, she should not be a villain who disregards the lives of millions of people."
Tears flowed from Shen Luoxue's stagnant eyes like springs. She never thought that after finally returning to the northwest, to her home, her mother was gone.
"Father, Mother has always been steady and prudent. She's been Madam Zhou for so many years and has never made a mistake. How could she do something so foolish? There must be some big reason or misunderstanding. Father, haven't you investigated this thoroughly? Did someone throw dirty water on Mother?"
