Mu Zhaiyuan.
After returning to the house, Mrs. Shen woke up slowly, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to slap Shen Sulan hard.
"mother!"
Shen Sulan covered her face in disbelief: “You hit me?”
Old Madam Shen brushed away Madam Liu's support, and without even paying attention to the servants in the room, she pointed at Shen Sulan's nose and scolded, "You evil girl, what did you just say outside? Are you trying to kill our Shen family?"
Shen Sulan had always been spoiled, and had never been slapped like this before. She was so angry that tears came out: "I didn't know that Yang Zhao had not been humiliated by the bandits. If you had told me about Yang Zhao earlier, how could I have said such a thing!"
"So you're blaming me for not telling you?"
"This is all your fault. If you had told me earlier, this wouldn't have happened!" Shen Sulan retorted without knowing the consequences.
"you……"
Old Madam Shen was so angry that she raised her hands again. Shen Sulan stared in disbelief; "Mom, you want to hit me again? Hit me, hit me, just beat me to death, so that I can go and keep Dad company."
“You, you…”
Old Madam Shen was so angry that her body shook, and she covered her chest with her raised hand, gasping for breath, her face turning pale.
Obviously very angry.
Madam Liu took one look and hurried forward to pat her back: "Old Madam, please calm down. Lan Jie'er was just speaking in anger. Please don't let your anger damage your health."
Shen Sulan was also a little scared. It would be a very unfilial act to make one's own mother angry to death.
She hurried forward to support him: "Mom, are you okay? I, I didn't mean to make you angry, please don't be angry."
Madam Shen brushed her hand away and let Aunt Liu help her sit on the couch. After a long while, she raised her eyes and looked at Shen Sulan, whose hair was still disheveled and in a mess, and said coldly, "Go back to your Chen family and take Xiao Cui with you. Don't come back if you don't have anything to do in the future, lest our Shen family's bad reputation implicate you."
When Shen Sulan heard this, she became anxious: "Mom, I didn't mean that. I was just, I was shocked by Yang Zhao's incident, so..."
"Oh!"
Old Madam Shen sneered, seeing through her thoughts at a glance: "That's not what you meant? I think that's what you meant. Now that you see the plaque of chastity bestowed by the Empress Dowager, you are no longer worried that our Shen family will be affected by your good reputation!"
He just dared to question her like that.
It really allowed her to do whatever she wanted!!
Shen Sulan knew that she had really angered Old Madam Shen, so she knelt down immediately, tears streaming down her face. "Mom, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I was just angry when I was bullied by those bitchy women outside, so I said something without thinking. The Shen family is my family. My last name is Shen. How could I not want the best for the Shen family..."
Old Madam Shen watched coldly.
But after all, this was the daughter he had loved for over twenty years. Seeing her crying and admitting her fault, he finally softened his tone: "Alright, go back to your own yard and wash up. Remember, you are a daughter of the Shen family, born into a family of scholars. Your words and actions represent our Shen family. Yet, you quarreled and fought with those lowly women outside. This is a disgrace in itself. Don't do such reckless things in the future."
Shen Sulan subconsciously wanted to explain, wanting to say that it was not she who wanted to do it, but those shrews rushed out and pulled her hair first.
But looking at Madam Shen, whose expression finally eased, Shen Sulan finally said nothing more, "Yes, my daughter will go back now, mother, you have a good rest first, and I will come back after I wash up."
As soon as Shen Sulan left, Madam Shen's face darkened again, and she ordered Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, go and ask someone to find out whose family the woman who had argued with Lan'er at the door belonged to. How dare they attack my family? We must teach them a lesson."
"Yes, I will arrange for someone to check it out right away."
Madam Liu didn't dare to delay, but just as she reached the door, she was knocked off balance by a maid who rushed in. "Madam Li, what are you doing? This is the old lady's room. How can you be so impulsive..."
"Madam Liu, something terrible has happened. Something has happened to the Madam!" Mrs. Li said breathlessly.
Nanny Liu's heart skipped a beat.
"What's going on?"
The old lady in the house also heard the noise. Aunt Liu did not dare to stop Mrs. Li and quickly led her into the house: "Old Madam, Mrs. Li said that something happened to the Madam!"
"What? Something happened to Yang Zhao?" Old Madam Shen was so frightened that the teacup in her hand dropped.
The Empress Dowager's decree has just been issued.
If something happens to Yang Zhao at this time, then their Shen family...
"Hurry, hurry to Qin Garden."
Old Madam Shen didn't even have time to ask Mrs. Li what happened to Yang Zhao before she hurried out of the house. But as soon as she walked out of the house, her steps froze.
Because she saw Xia Ying, dressed as if she was coming to announce a death, accompanied by a group of maids and servants, holding various spatulas, tongs and other weapons, as if they were guarding against thieves, crying and shouting all the way as they came in from the gate of her yard.
When Old Madam Shen saw it, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Yang Zhao...
"Old Madam, please be merciful and spare my wife. My wife really can't bear it anymore..."
As soon as Xia Ying entered the courtyard, he and his men knelt down immediately, and his crying voice was so loud that it could reach the sky.
Just as Mrs. Shen was about to shake her body, she stopped.
Spare?
"Xia Ying, what's going on? What happened to your wife?" asked Old Madam Shen with a frown.
Seeing that most of the people outside had gathered, Xia Ying burst into tears and said loudly, "Ever since my wife was strangled by the old lady of each courtyard that day, she has had a high fever. She has been confused for the past two days. Just now, after waking up from the convulsion, she has been shouting that she wants to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. She said, she said she can't live anymore, and she wants to die and go back to her home in the Marquis' Mansion..."
"Old Madam, please be merciful and let my wife go!"
"She is so pitiful. She was clearly busy with family matters, but in the end, nothing good happened to her. Instead, she was almost killed."
Xia Ying burst into tears and began to kowtow while shouting, "Old Madam, please have mercy and let my wife go..."
"Please, Madam, have mercy on me and let my wife go..."
The maids and old women knelt on the ground, crying and begging.
Madam Shen's face darkened instantly...
