Chapter 225 War Begins
When Shen Luoyun came this time, Qingmei behind him was carrying large and small bags of things. As soon as she saw Madam Shen, she saluted and spoke obediently.
"Meet mother."
Madam Shen had a cold face and did not ask her to get up, but started to lecture her directly.
"Back in the Northwest, you said you were accompanying your elder sister to Lingchang. Is this how you take care of your elder sister? You've let her suffer so much."
Shen Luoyun looked guilty.
"Mother, it's my incompetence that has caused my elder sister to suffer. It's the end of the year now, and I'm so busy with the Yue Man Ting and Mushroom Shop businesses that I often look at the account books until late at night, and that's why I neglected my elder sister.
It's all my fault. I was only concerned about giving my father an explanation when I returned at the end of the year. After all, when I left Northwest China, I promised my father that I would lead Lingchang to prosperity. I didn't expect that due to my negligence, something bad would happen to my eldest sister.
Mother Qiu knew that Madam Shen was angry, but the Second Young Miss was doing very well in Lingchang now, and she would have to go back to report to the Master at the end of the year. If she made things difficult for the Second Young Miss now, and the Master found out, he would probably be dissatisfied with Madam Shen again. Thinking of this, she lowered her head and persuaded Madam Shen.
"Madam, please let the Second Young Miss get up first. No matter what, it was thanks to the Second Young Miss that we were able to resolve the situation with He Yanling and her son."
Madam Shen looked at Shen Luoyun and saw that although she saluted, her back was very straight. Even though she saluted for a long time, there was no impatience on her face. She was completely different from her mother. It was a pity that this child was not born from her belly.
"Get up!"
After hearing this, Shen Luoyun stood up and spoke.
"Yes, thank you, mother."
Mother Qiu brought over a chair.
"Second Miss, please take a seat. Madam is just angry about the Sun family and doesn't mean to blame the Second Miss."
Shen Luoyun listened to the understanding opening.
"I understand everything, don't worry, Mother Qiu. No daughter would be angry with her own mother."
Then he looked at Madam Shen.
"Mother, don't worry. He Yanling and her son will never come back here again in their lifetime, let alone meet Sun Xiucai. From now on, my eldest sister won't be upset because of them."
Mrs. Shen listened and looked at her and then spoke.
"How can you be sure they won't come back to ask for more money after they've spent it all? After all, greed is the ultimate enemy. You've handled this matter too gently. In my opinion, you should eliminate the root of the problem."
Shen Luoyun listened and spoke with an appearance of being taught a lesson.
"Please forgive me for not handling the situation well enough. But mother, you know that Luo Yun has been timid since childhood. After all, these are two lives. Luo Yun really couldn't do it. But mother, don't worry. Luo Yun has already sent them to a very far place with the convoy. Even if they want to come back, they can't."
Mrs. Shen's complexion improved a little.
Shen Luoyun continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"It's the end of the year now, and I got some extra dividends from Yue Man Ting. I found some supplements for my elder sister. This is a small token of my appreciation as a younger sister. I hope my elder sister will accept it."
Qingmei stepped forward and handed the things over, and Mother Qiu hurried to take them.
Madam Shen took a look at the packages.
"You are thoughtful. Lingchang has made a lot of progress since coming here."
Shen Luoyun listened and spoke obediently.
"Thank you for the compliment, mother."
Then he looked at Shen Luoxue again, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mrs. Shen said when she saw this.
"Just say whatever you want to say. Is there anyone who won't let you speak?"
Shen Luoyun then looked at Madam Shen and spoke cautiously.
"Mother, I've said a few things today that I shouldn't have said. Logically, I shouldn't have said anything about my eldest sister, but she and I are blood relatives, so naturally I hope that she will have a smoother and better life in the future.
When I visited my eldest sister a few days ago, my brother-in-law complained that my eldest sister was cold to him. I know that my eldest sister doesn't like her husband, but after all, my eldest sister is already a legal couple with him, and now they have a child.
When I entered the house just now, I also asked the maids in the garden. My brother-in-law has been visiting my eldest sister frequently these days. Now that the concubine has been sent away, my eldest sister should consider living a good life with my brother-in-law. It is better to let the past go."
Shen Luoxue became unhappy when she heard it.
"So you didn't just come to see me today, but to lobby for someone. What's going on? What benefits did he give you that would make you speak for him like this?"
Shen Luoyun looked helpless when he heard this.
"Eldest sister, it's not right for you to be so awkward with your brother-in-law. It's just right that you're here to take advantage of your confinement after giving birth. You two should get along well with each other. After all, when your niece grows up, it won't be good for her if you continue to be awkward with her.
Besides, my brother-in-law will take the exam again next year. If he really gets a third or second place, and there are some experts who can interpret the meaning of flowers around him, wouldn’t you be at a disadvantage, eldest sister? "
Madam Shen looked at Mother Qiu.
"Has Sun Xinyao come to see the young lady these days?"
Mother Sun spoke.
"Ever since He Yanling and her son were sent away, the son-in-law has actually come to see the eldest lady every day and brought her some things, but they were all worthless. He usually just reads in his room and doesn't go out all night anymore."
Mrs. Shen muttered after hearing this.
"It seems that I was bewitched by that concubine in the past."
Shen Luoxue complained from the side.
"He might as well get out, mother. I don't like him. He forced me to get pregnant..."
Mrs. Shen heard this and spoke.
"Okay, Luoxue, he's your husband now, the father of your child. You should tone down your temper a bit. If he sincerely wants to live with you, you should live a good life with him. Of course, if you're wronged, your mother will stand by you."
Shen Luoxue heard this unwillingly and spoke.
"But mother, you don't want to. Isn't there any other way? Can't your daughter divorce you and take the child to the northwest..."
Shen Luoyun hurriedly spoke from the side.
"Sister, don't say anything careless. It would be bad if my brother-in-law heard you. Sister, just listen to my advice and live a good life with your child and your brother-in-law. Even if you return to the northwest, the child will be fatherless. How will others look at her in the future? I know you are arrogant, but you are a mother now, and you always have to consider your child."
Mrs. Shen also pondered on the side. Her daughter had a bad reputation in the northwest. If she divorced, it would be difficult to talk about marriage again. Moreover, if Sun Xinyao was admitted to high school next year, then...
"Luoxue, first see how Sun Xinyao treats you without that concubine. We'll make plans after next autumn."
Seeing that he had persuaded the mother and daughter, Shen Luoyun stood up at the right time.
"Mother, you just met my eldest sister and you still have a lot to say to her. I've already met you, so I won't bother you."
Mrs. Shen just wanted to talk to her daughter, so she spoke.
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy."
Shen Luoyun smiled and retreated. As soon as he left the room, his gentle and smiling expression disappeared completely.
At this time, it is the junction of the northwest and north wings.
On the city wall, several generals have been personally leading people to guard the city day and night.
General Wei and several other important generals also rested directly in the barracks.
When General Pei saw the flags raised in the distance and the dust raised by what seemed to be a large group of people rushing over, he spoke hurriedly.
"Quick, prepare for defense, the Northern Wing Army is coming."
