Chapter 237 Son-in-law Tea
"Tsk." Shen Yunbai smiled faintly, "It would be even better if he could feel embarrassed."
Shen Anan was sure that Madam Duan was the one that Shen Yunbai had found.
"I just happened to meet her on the street. I don't know her identity or what happened in her past. Even if the emperor asked about her, it was an accident and unintentional mistake to damage the royal dignity."
He just wanted to make things difficult for Shen Anan all the time.
"Brother, you and sister-in-law go first, I'll take care of this."
Shen Changhe frowned, but finally took Lin Yurou's hand and left first.
After finishing the wedding ceremony before the auspicious time and sending Yu Rou to the bridal chamber, it won’t be too late to go back and deal with it later.
Seeing the two men leave, Mrs. Duan started to make a fuss again.
"Madam Duan," Shen An'an's eyes were cold, "Miss Duan was a classmate of the Second Prince and was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. You should think carefully before you speak. An unchaste woman will have her grave dug up and her corpse whipped."
Madam Duan was startled, and looked straight at Shen Anan, her cloudy eyes cleared for a moment.
"The one buried in the imperial mausoleum is Miss Duan San, the fourth prince's wife. Don't bully women and children."
"No matter if it's Duan San or Duan Er, they are both listed in the royal jade book, and they are both considered as deceiving the emperor. Do you want to kill the entire Duan family?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Duan stopped talking completely. She just stood there, cowering with fear in her eyes.
Shen Yunbai said disdainfully, "Since you have touched the girl's body, you should take responsibility. That's what a gentleman should do."
"What about Hua Sheng?" Shen Anan stared at Shen Yunbai's face, with a test hidden deep in her eyes.
She reasoned for a long time but couldn't figure out the connection between the two, so she thought of testing them out when they were least prepared.
"You killed her yourself, that's what a gentleman does?"
"Shut up." Shen Yunbai's gentle face collapsed and he could no longer maintain his calm.
Hua Sheng, that was his Achilles' heel that he even avoided and didn't dare to think about in the slightest.
"Heh." Shen Anan sneered, already certain in her heart that there must be a connection between the two, but she didn't know what.
But Hua Sheng's name can make him lose control and get angry.
During the stalemate, the wedding ceremony had been successfully completed in the front hall. Shen Changhe hurried over after sending Lin Yurou to the bridal chamber.
It was unknown whether Mrs. Duan was really insane or still had a trace of rationality, but after hearing what Shen Anan said, she remained silent.
And Shen Yunbai fell into a long silence because of the sudden mention of Hua Sheng.
"Madam." A little maid rushed in from the gate of the mansion and supported Madam Duan.
She apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my wife has been hit hard and has gone insane. Please forgive me if I have offended you, Your Majesty."
"He turned out to be a lunatic."
"That's right, I was shocked. I really thought that Master Shen was a heartless man."
The onlookers began to talk, and the maid who supported Madam Duan wished she could hide her head in the ground.
"Keep an eye on your wife. If she is crazy, she should stay in the yard and not talk nonsense and cause trouble to others. If she gets into trouble one day, I'm afraid the Duan Mansion won't be able to protect her."
"Yes, yes, yes, I will tell the old lady what the Fourth Prince's wife said when I return."
The maid lowered her head and suddenly saw the dagger in Madam Duan's hand. She was so scared that she snatched it away and threw it on the ground.
"Madam, let's go quickly." Madam Duan followed her obediently.
"Brother, on such a happy occasion, how can we abandon our guests and leave? Let's go quickly."
Shen Changhe frowned and glanced at Shen Yunbai, and had to leave under Shen Anan's urging.
Shen Yunbai's complexion had returned to normal, with a faint smile on his face.
"Mr. Shen is a master at making trouble for others." Her eyes suddenly turned cold and she said, "Just wait for me."
After saying that, he walked towards the mansion, Shen Yunbai smiled faintly.
"Sir, the banquet hasn't started yet. Are we leaving now?" the servant beside him asked in a low voice.
"The formalities are already completed, why don't you leave? Do you really think she will give you a bite to eat?" Shen Yunbai took the servant and left the Shen Mansion directly.
Although there were some minor incidents, the wedding was finally completed smoothly.
Lin Yurou sat in the new house, feeling uneasy. Finally, she heard the door creak open and asked hurriedly, "Chang He, are you back?"
"How are you injured? Let me see who that woman is. Have you driven her away?"
“Sister-in-law, it’s me.” Shen Anan walked over with a smile and held the hand that Lin Yurou extended.
"An An, what's going on outside? Where's your brother? What's going on with that woman?"
"Brother is fine, he is entertaining guests. That woman... is from the Duan family, she was instigated to cause trouble, but she has left, don't worry."
"That's good, that's good." Lin Yurou breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death just now."
At the last minute, she was afraid that something unexpected would happen. Fortunately, the wedding went through and she finally... became husband and wife with him.
"I'm sorry to have wronged my sister-in-law today."
"Why should I feel wronged?" Lin Yurou said softly, "It was Chang He who was injured. He protected me very well."
As she was talking, she heard footsteps entering the room, and asked with a smile, "An An, who's here?"
Before Shen Anan could speak, the woman's suppressed and excited voice rang out, "Rou'er, my Rou'er."
"...Mother." Lin Yurou stood up suddenly, but she was covered with a veil and could not see anything. She staggered a few steps.
Mrs. Lin quickly supported her and said, "Hurry up and sit down. It's a big wedding day and the groom hasn't come back yet. You can't leave the wedding bed. It's unlucky."
She cried and helped Lin Yurou sit down again.
"Mom, why are you here? Did you watch the ceremony?"
"I have seen it, I have seen it. Your father and I originally wanted to take a look secretly and then leave, but we were discovered by the Fourth Prince's wife, who quietly brought us in. My dear Rou'er, now that you are married, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared."
Madam Lin's tone was full of excitement. "When I saw my son-in-law protecting you so much, I felt relieved. But I felt bad for letting you get married from the inn."
"Mother," Lin Yurou stroked Madam Lin's face and wiped away her tears, "We are just forced by the temporary situation. Everything will be fine when the storm passes."
"Besides, as long as I can marry him, no matter what the method, my daughter is happy."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, feeling very uncomfortable.
Shen Anan said, “Mrs. Lin, please sit here and talk to my sister-in-law for a few words. I will send someone to invite my eldest brother.”
"Oh, no, no." Mrs. Lin waved her hands quickly. "There are many guests outside, and he is very busy, so don't cause him trouble. We just came to see Rou'er and make sure she is fine. We will go back now."
"How can that be possible?" Shen Anan said, "According to etiquette, he should take his sister-in-law away from the two elders and serve her tea. While Madam Lin and Lord Lin are here, he should also make up for this etiquette."
Shen Anan left the bridal chamber without explanation. Mrs. Lin's eyes were filled with tears again, and she gave Lin Yurou earnest instructions.
"The Shen family is a good family. When you marry in, you must work diligently to manage the inner house, serve your parents-in-law well, and get along with your sister-in-law. You must not be sneaky and willful, and you must not know how to cherish. Do you remember this?"
"Don't worry, mother. I know everything. It's just that as for my eldest brother..."
"Let's not worry about him. He is a man of honor and he should make great achievements. The future of the Lin family depends on him."
Mo Xiang found an excuse to call Shen Changhe away. Mrs. Shen was entertaining a female guest. She saw him out of the corner of her eye and frowned, "The guests are still here, what is he doing? Go and take a look."
The old woman behind her frowned and didn't want to go at all. The scene of being scolded by the Fourth Prince's wife last night was still vivid in her mind. How could she dare to make comments?
"Madam, that is the maid of the prince's wife. I think the brother and sister have something to say."
Madam Shen glanced at the old woman and said, "Why do I feel like you've been avoiding An An these past two days, as if she were some kind of monster?"
"I dare not. I will go and ask now."
Mrs. Shen was not worried about anything else but that something had happened again and her children were hiding it from her. Shen Changhe's imprisonment had already scared her out of her wits, and she could not stand the commotion any longer.
When Shen Changhe arrived, Madam Lin and Lord Lin had already been invited to the outer room, and Lin Yurou was sitting aside, supported by a maid and covered with a veil.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
"Get up, get up, no need to be so polite." The two elders hurriedly stopped them.
The old woman who had been driven there helplessly entered the house and saw her own son and his new wife kneeling on the ground, offering tea to the two people in the upper seats.
She frowned deeply.
She was nowhere to be seen at the wedding, and even left through the inn when she got married. But on the wedding day she came to the mansion to receive gifts. This is really unheard of.
After all, they were on the Shen Mansion's territory, and the eldest son was so...
