Chapter 89 Wandering
Shen Yuanzhu never expected that after failing to coerce and entice Ye Yunyi and her husband, they would now try to smear her outside the home.
If her mother hadn't left Xiecui Workshop to her, she would probably be at a loss right now, handing over the dyeing recipes that were "useless" to her.
For some reason, Shen Yuanzhu felt a little sad.
Although it is called "Shen Family Dyeing Manual", it was written by her maternal grandfather, who worked as a dyer all his life, and was compiled and revised by her father.
The shop that the Shen family owns now is also run by her parents, and the accounts in the shop have always been managed by her mother.
But Ye Yunyi said, "It should be returned to its rightful owner," and that Shen Yanhuai had been supporting her with food and other necessities...
Suddenly, Shen Yuanzhu really wanted Ling'er to bring the abacus so she could properly work on it.
It seemed that only by tightly gripping the abacus could she find peace of mind.
Seeing Shen Yuanzhu's expression change slightly, Ye Yunyi said, "Without a maternal family to rely on, and without your husband's favor, you will eventually end up like your mother. Even if you control the family business, you will not have a good end and will end up making clothes for others."
"Xie Qi is not your father, and he has the ability to protect your wife and children. If you don't know what's good for you, your family and husband will be left with no one to rely on, and you will probably live a miserable life for the rest of your life."
Shen Yuanzhu lowered her eyes and stared at the dried fruit in front of her, then casually picked up a piece of dried plum.
These dried plums are not tasty; they are both sour and astringent, and the astringency makes her tongue taste bitter.
After taking a couple of sips of tea, Shen Yuanzhu wiped her mouth and smiled gently: "Sister-in-law is right. As for the Shen family's dyeing recipe, I will always provide it. I just don't know if you will dare to use it after I give you the recipe."
"What do you mean by this? You dare to give me a fake?"
Ye Yunyi sneered: "You're threatening me with a fake dyeing recipe? Then I'd also like to know if you're willing to give up the Shen family dyeing workshop that your parents founded."
"This Shen family dyehouse is the culmination of your parents' life's work. If they knew in the afterlife that their life's work had been ruined by you..."
Ye Yunyi clicked her tongue: "It all depends on whether you're willing to part with it or not."
She looked Shen Yuanzhu up and down, her tone indignant: "Speaking of which, your mother was really pitiful, letting you be born into her family. If you had been a boy, your mother wouldn't have died so tragically from her illness."
"My sister-in-law has a good way with words, it's just a pity."
Shen Yuanzhu said, "The Xie family did mention yesterday that they wanted to hand over the Farming and Weaving Chart to me, but I declined."
"What, you rejected it?"
"Yes, I said my brother and sister-in-law told me not to hand over the dyeing manual easily."
Shen Yuanzhu smiled, revealing her teeth, a smile that was somewhat wicked: "Marriage between two families can bring about a union, but it can also create enmity. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will certainly not disappoint you."
"If I ever feel uncomfortable in the Xie family, I will do everything in my power to ruin the relationship between the two families and make Xie and Chen enemies."
"By the way, is your urgent situation due to the incident in Songjiang? I imagine the Ye family needs the dyeing manual and farming and weaving charts more than Xie Chen does."
Shen Yuanzhu stood up, looking down at Ye Yunyi: "Since the Ye family urgently needs these two life-saving items, please rest assured, sister-in-law, I..."
She paused, then smiled piercingly: "I won't give it to you."
After saying that, she turned and left, ignoring Ye Yunyi jumping up and down behind her.
As soon as she walked back to Luo's side, Shen Yuanzhu could no longer maintain her smile.
"Miss, what did she say to you?"
"nothing."
Concealing her bitterness at being treated unfairly by her mother, Shen Yuanzhu looked up at the Shen family courtyard, feeling extremely stifled.
The courtyard that her parents built up now has nothing to do with her anymore.
"Tell Brother Nai that from today onwards, we will do everything in our power to wipe out the Ye family's cloth workshop. We will buy what the Ye family needs at high prices and sell what the Ye family sells at low prices. We must make sure to beat them when they are down."
"Hoarding goods, driving down prices, and dominating the market—I want to eliminate the Ye family from Songjiang."
Shen Yuanzhu tilted her head slightly, her eyes indifferent: "Are there people from our side with Ye Yunyi's younger brother?"
Mrs. Luo nodded: "There are two people I'm on good terms with."
"Let's set a trap to kill him, and the Ye family won't be able to recover for three generations."
"I'll have Luo Qing handle it."
After saying all this, Shen Yuanzhu did not feel any relief.
Shen Yanhuai...
Shen Yuanzhu lowered her eyes, determined to shine brightly at this year's Dyeing Competition.
Shen Family Dyehouse?
Shen Yuanzhu chuckled, then rubbed her cheeks and put on a smiling face.
The newlyweds, who were returning to their parents' home, had to go back before sunset. Therefore, Shen Yuanzhu and Xie Qi did not stay long after lunch and went back to the Xie family home early.
She wasn't in a good mood; she seemed a bit down in the carriage, her small face expressionless. Xie Qi tried to speak several times, but each time he choked back his words.
He gripped his palm tightly, suppressing the urge to pry Chen Yuanzhu's face and make her look at him.
"arrive."
The carriage stopped, and Xie Qi got off with a cold face, then turned around to help her lift the curtain.
"Thank you, my husband."
Upon arriving at the Xie family residence, Shen Yuanzhu composed herself and smiled as Xie Qi walked to her side.
Whether it's Xie San Niang, Hua Nan Zhi, Ye Yun Yi, or Shen Yuan Qiong, they all just want to see her and Xie Qi miserable and resentful of each other.
But she refused.
She was determined not to let people laugh at her.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuanzhu pulled Xie Qi up and they clasped hands together.
As I walked back to Qianxiang Courtyard from the gatehouse, I encountered many servants along the way, all of whom looked incredulous or utterly astonished.
In the past, every time Xie Qi stepped into the Xie family, he felt a sense of emptiness and panic, as if he were in an abyss.
The Xie family was like a dark pool in deep water; he was powerless to float in it, unable to go up or down.
Inside, he was constantly drawn by the gloomy coldness. The Xie family's disgust, contempt, and even sharp sarcasm and ridicule would turn into a viscous, inescapable bondage in the icy pool, swallowing up all his emotions.
He couldn't breathe, and he couldn't call for help.
But Shen Yuanzhu's initiative and her unwavering approach to contact were like a piece of duckweed floating in stagnant water.
Though fragile and insignificant, it is the only color in the pitch black.
Xie Qi looked at the hand that had taken his hand and felt the faint warmth of her palm.
He couldn't help but purse his lips, suppressing the uncontrollable upturn of his mouth.
only……
Yuan Xu said that everything she did was not for him, but because she was concerned about her past engagement to Xie Xuchuan.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Shen Yuanzhu frowned and looked at Xie Qi. This man had been secretly squeezing her hand with force for some reason, and it hurt a lot...
With a blank expression, she held up her injured index finger in front of him.
"..."
Xie Qi's ears burned slightly, and he turned his face away, murmuring softly, "I didn't mean to..."
"..."
With a slightly worried sigh, Shen Yuanzhu felt that life was difficult.
Before marriage, she had no relatives to rely on; after marriage, the man she married was mentally ill...
A soft sigh reached Xie Qi's ears, and his heart skipped a beat.
Does she dislike him now?
Or is it...?
Shen Yuanqiong's words, that she and Xie Xuchuan had been in love for many years, inevitably echoed in my ears again.
Xie Qi lowered his eyes and gently gritted his teeth.
Was she... thinking of Xie Xuchuan?
