Chapter 140: Shen Ajiao is ready to push both ends
A'jiao Shen followed Shen Qin'er slowly to the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family was a large local family in Cangzhou, it was indeed ordinary in the capital.
The Zhao family that came to Beijing this time was the second branch of the Zhao family, which was the branch of Shen Qiner's parents-in-law.
Shen Qin'er's parents-in-law have two sons and one daughter. Shen Qin'er's husband, Zhao Changchun, is the eldest son of this family. The other son and daughter have been engaged but have not yet married, and are now in the capital.
The whole family lived in a square-shaped house, and the parents-in-law lived in the main courtyard. Shen Qin'er had no objection, but why did the unmarried sister-in-law and brother-in-law live in bigger and better places than hers?
Shen Ajiao was speechless after hearing this. It was indeed a family that couldn't figure things out. This was Shen Qiner's retribution.
"Grandma, you're back. Madam wants you to come over."
Shen Qin'er was walking in Zhao's house holding Shen Ajiao's arm. At this time, a maid came up and bowed perfunctorily, with no respect on her face.
A'jiao Shen was so angry that she couldn't make up her mind. How could a maid bully Shen Qin'er like this?
Where was the cruelty she used to bully Shen A-Jiao? Was she fed to the dogs?
Shen Qin'er didn't dare to look at Shen Ajiao's eyes. She was furious and slapped the maid. "Get lost! Can't you see I'm entertaining guests?"
"Be careful, it hurts."
When Shen Qin'er heard this, she quickly stepped back and told the maid beside her to come up and "give her two more slaps."
She was still muttering in her heart, why could Shen Ajiao beat herself but she couldn't?
"Grandma is so domineering, she is not afraid of being punished by Madam, and she even said that Grandma has forgotten the rules."
Shen Qin'er gritted her teeth, she was so angry that she couldn't utter a single word.
A-Jiao Shen finally understood that Shen Qin'er was a bully at home but a coward outside.
"Why, your grandmother's rules are not your rules. How can you, a maid, have rules? Why are you sticking up your neck and pretending to be a big goose?"
The maid saw that Shen Ajiao was dressed gorgeously and spoke sternly, unlike the grandmothers of other families, so she did not dare to yell at her. She admitted her mistake and said, "It is my fault. It was not my fault. It was just that I represented our wife. Our wife said that young people come and go, and the family should not mess up the rules."
"Oh, it represents your wife. Tsk, tsk, tsk, your wife is really good at falling into depravity. She doesn't want to be a good wife, but chooses to be a maid."
Shen Qiner silently gave Shen Ajiao a thumbs up. Humph, usually this maid relied on her mother being the madam's nanny and never bullied her. But whenever she argued, she would just say that the madam did this and that and accuse her of being unfilial.
It turns out that without morality there is no concern.
A-Jiao Shen was not polite at all. She was just like the receptionist at a company. She would stick her eyes into the heads of people who came to do business. You can see what she is like on a daily basis.
From what she saw, she knew what kind of person Mrs. Zhao was. However, she had another purpose in coming today. She glanced at the smug Shen Qiner, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Shen Qin'er, who was totally unaware, said to the maid in a haughty manner, "Go tell the madam that my sister, the wife of Lantai Temple doctor Lin Ruhai, is here."
The maid was stunned. She didn't know who the eldest lady's sister was, but she had heard the mistress talk about Lin Ruhai in the house. She said that he was the emperor's favorite, had a successful career, and was a relative, but there was no reason for him to come to the house. She also said that he had come here during the New Year holidays.
The little maid smiled and immediately said respectfully, "I will report it now."
Shen Ajiao snorted coldly. This person is so annoying. He should just work hard. Why bring up his personal emotions? It's annoying.
Shen Qin'er first pulled Shen Ajiao to her yard. When Shen Ajiao saw her, she was surprised. What a nice guy! Although the yard is not big, there are many beauties there.
She counted them and found that there were ten of them who were of outstanding appearance, two more than in her royal group.
Shen Qiner is so lucky.
Seeing Shen Ajiao's eyes wandering around the beauty, Shen Qin'er thought she wanted such a beauty, "If you want to marry a few to Lin Ruhai, I'll tell you where to find them. Even if they are taken away, it's easy to control them."
Shen Ajiao laughed and said, "No, Lin Ruhai is too old and doesn't need it. She is still young and just right."
Soon there was a commotion outside. Shen Qin'er became excited when she heard the noise. Humph, a mean and snobbish old woman.
"Qin'er? Qin'er?"
Shen Ajiao and Shen Qin'er shivered at the same time, and Shen Qin'er whispered to Shen Ajiao, "Help me."
Shen Ajiao smiled and said, "Let it go, I'm good at taking money to do things."
Shen Qin'er then let go and pretended to get up to greet him.
A person wearing a navy blue magnolia dress, about fifty years old, with meticulously combed hair and sharp eyebrows, her eyes fell on Shen Ajiao as soon as she came in.
Instead of his usual fierce look, 껩 greeted him with a smile.
"Qin'er, this must be your little sister."
Shen Ajiao stood up and bowed, "Happy New Year, Madam Zhao. Qin'er was not feeling well today, so I am here to send her back. Sorry to bother you."
Mrs. Zhao looked at Shen A-jiao subtly with a smile on her face. The two sisters did look somewhat alike.
But this Shen A-Jiao is different from when she was little. She no longer looks unconfident.
꿯 was more calm and composed like a wife of a wealthy family. Now she really regretted marrying Shen Qin'er by default. If she had married Shen Ajiao, perhaps her family would be even better!
"You are Qin'er's sister. Once Qin'er marries into our family, she will be our child. There's no need to be so polite."
Shen Ajiao smiled. She was not prepared to be polite.
"Then I won't be polite. I heard from Qin'er that Madam is very generous on weekdays. As for me, I want to take advantage of the New Year to get a red gift and bring good luck."
Mrs. Zhao just laughed at this time, "Hahaha, A Jiao is still straightforward. You, Qin'er, look a bit like her, but your temperament is much worse."
Shen Ajiao said, "There are no two leaves that are alike in the world. The old lady will not favor one over the other because of this."
Mrs. Zhao felt even more regretful after listening to Shen Ajiao's words. It was obvious that this person was more generous and decent than Shen Qiner, and not so petty.
He glanced at Qin'er and said reproachfully, "Girl, you stay in your room all day long. You should hang out with your sister more often."
Shen Qin'er was disdainful. This old woman, didn't she know about their relationship? She didn't come out all day. What was she doing outside? Why not set up rules and then confine her?
She was already eight months pregnant, but they still asked her to set rules every day, standing for an hour at a time, and they said it would be beneficial for her childbirth.
If it is so beneficial, why not ask her to lose the fat while standing?
"My sister is simple-minded and doesn't like to do anything that even ten cows can't pull. She is delicate and my mother spoils her. If she likes to stay indoors, she can stay indoors. It's not a big deal."
Seeing the sparkling eyes between Mrs. Zhao and Shen Qin'er, Shen Ajiao couldn't help laughing. It was so easy to sow discord.
"Ajiao is right, it's not a big deal." Mrs. Zhao smiled, "But she is about to give birth, so she needs to move around more."
"Oh, is that so? Did you hear that, sister? You should move around more."
Shen Qin'er was so angry. Why was she still speaking for that old woman? She was so mad!
"You are feeling heavy now, and you can't sleep well. You should get up early in the morning. If you have nothing to do, go and walk."
Shen Qin'er was stunned. Looking at Shen Ajiao who winked at her, she understood what she meant by getting up early in the morning. "Yes, I got up early because it's time to move around."
"Tomorrow, my daughter-in-law will listen to my mother!"
If I don’t make a scene when the time comes, I won’t be called Shen Qiner!
