"Madam Liu, how is Yang Zhao now?"
Old Madam Shen put down the account book in her hand, rubbed her aching temples, and asked Aunt Liu beside her.
Nanny Liu stepped forward and took over, massaging her temples while she replied, "The gate to Qin Garden is still closed, but the news coming out of there isn't good."
"That day, the old ladies from each courtyard rushed in with their men, using knives and white silk. The lady was already injured. If it weren't for the two maids, Dong Shuang and Xia Ying, who bravely rushed over to protect her, I heard she would have died."
"They say he's still running a high fever!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen's face turned a little unhappy. "You can't even handle such a small thing, you are such a useless thing!"
I don't know whether he was talking about Yang Zhao or the maid.
"Go and ask a doctor to see her later. Don't let anything happen to her. There are still a lot of things at home that need her to deal with." Old Lady Shen instructed Nanny Liu.
In the past two days, the old lady who took back the power of the family has completely understood the situation of the Shen family.
Only then did she realize that the huge Shen family was now just a shell! !
Yes, the Shen family is empty.
Most of the items in the warehouse were worthless, and the money in the account book could only sustain the Shen family for half a year at most. As for the shops and farms under Yang Zhao's name, although they were still registered under the Shen family's account, the shops and farms that really brought in money had been exchanged a few days ago.
In other words, if the Shen family doesn't find a way to make money, they will all be out of money within half a year.
The old lady got a headache when she thought of this.
She suspected that Yang Zhao had done something, but after two days of careful investigation, she found nothing wrong. However, she realized how hard and difficult it had been for Yang Zhao to support the Shen family over the past six years.
But what does it matter if you know?
The old lady did not feel distressed. Instead, she felt that as a wife of the Shen family, it was her responsibility.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Shen instructed Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, we need to hurry up and arrange the personnel. When Yang Zhao gets better in a few days, the power of the household will be returned to her. Before that, we need to arrange the personnel in advance."
From now on, she will just be the empress dowager who rules the country from behind the scenes.
It would be better to leave it to Yang Zhao to lead the charge. After all, she also came from a humble background, and now her reputation is completely gone. Since the Shen family still accepted her, she should be grateful and make good money for her Shen family...
"Old lady, something bad has happened..."
At this time, a woman came running in hurriedly.
Old Madam Shen's eyelids twitched fiercely. She had heard too many negative words like this in the past two days, and her face suddenly darkened. "What happened again? You are so impatient, how can you be so irritable..."
The old woman shuddered and quickly lowered her voice, saying, "Aunt, Auntie heard rumors about Madam outside, saying that Madam's return in such an unfaithful way would bring disaster to her reputation, so she threatened to leave the Shen Mansion. But when she was getting on the carriage at the gate to leave, she got into an argument with someone, and now she's fighting with someone at the gate..."
"What!"
Old Madam Shen stood up in shock. "She looked like that, and she actually dared to run to the gate and start an argument with someone? Is she crazy?"
Shen Sulan is indeed going crazy.
But she was mad.
At this moment, she was pulling hair with a woman of about the same age as her, but because she had to hold the veil on her face tightly with one hand, she was mostly the one being pulled, and the pain made her already crooked face under the veil even more distorted.
"Idiot, what are you still doing? Come and save me..."
Shen Sulan was in so much pain, but the maids and servants she brought with her were fighting with others, so she could only shout incoherently at the Shen family servant at the door.
But before the servant could step forward, he was stopped by the onlookers: "What's a servant doing in a fight between women? Isn't this damaging their reputation..."
The woman who was arguing with Shen Sulan immediately got excited when she saw this. She pulled Shen Sulan's hair and shouted at the top of her voice: "Everyone, look, this is the woman from the Shen family. She has such a vicious heart that she even wants to call the servants over to ruin the reputation of our good woman."
Good woman?
What kind of good girl would suddenly come out and pull someone's hair?
Shen Sulan was furious: "I didn't, it was you..."
As soon as Shen Sulan opened her mouth, her scalp was pulled hard again, and she screamed in pain.
"Everyone is watching, and you still say there's nothing. That's a bunch of lies."
"That's right. A woman without even chastity is no different from a whore in a brothel. Your Shen family actually carried such a woman back home through the main gate. It shows that your entire Shen family is like this..."
"Look at this Miss Shen, she's so guilty that she even wears a veil when she goes out..."
Many people in the crowd watching the excitement seconded the proposal.
Shen Sulan subconsciously covered her veil tightly. Amid the pointing and contemptuous gazes around her, she was so angry that she wanted to kill Yang Zhao.
It’s all that bitch’s fault!
If she hadn't managed to come back alive and brought trouble to the Shen family, how could she have been bullied in public like this?
Shen Sulan was so angry that she couldn't help but roar: "If you have the guts, go find that Yang Zhao. She was the one who was humiliated by the bandits, not me. Why are you bullying me..."
The woman sneered: "She is a member of your Shen family, how can it be none of your business? You are the Shen family's aunt, we are all members of the Shen family."
"She is not worthy of being a member of our Shen family. Such an unfaithful and unloyal bitch, our Shen family will divorce her sooner or later..."
When Mrs. Shen hurried out, she happened to hear what Shen Sulan said, and she almost couldn't breathe.
"Hurry, hurry up and stop my aunt..."
The woman who had been paying attention to the movement of the Shen family's gate with her peripheral vision, immediately let go of the hand that was pulling Shen Sulan's hair when she saw the situation. At the same time, she made a silent gesture, and the women who were entangled with the maids and old women immediately let go of their hands and retreated.
"Divorce her? Are you, the Shen family, willing to do that?"
"Everyone in the capital knows that if it weren't for Yang Zhao who has been protecting the women of your Shen family and supporting your Shen family for the past six years, the women of your Shen family would have died long ago..." The woman said to the embarrassed Shen Sulan with a sneer.
The sarcasm in his eyes was very stimulating.
Shen Sulan was already on the verge of a mental breakdown because of her face, and she had just been tormented like that, her anger had already been aroused. Hearing the woman's sarcastic words, she blurted out in anger:
"Yang Zhao is a lowly bitch from a humble background. She's marrying into our Shen family, which is really a step up for her. Even without her, our Shen family can still..."
"Shut up!"
"What a great Shen family——"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
