In the side hall of the Shen family, Shen was sitting with her hands hanging down, and kneeling below her were the sisters Shen Tinglan and Shen Rulan.
Seeing this, Shen Deming, the head of the Shen family, was quite dissatisfied with Shen and said, "Little sister, you rarely come back to your parents' home, and you come to lecture these useless young people?"
After all, they are members of the Shen family. The Shen family should not be so ungrateful and not give face to the younger generation.
Shen Deming protects his son and has a grudge against the Shen family.
Shen was so angry at Shen Deming's confused attitude that she laughed. She stood up and said sharply, "Brother, it's because you are a fool who favors your concubine over your wife that the Shen family has fallen. If it weren't for the support of the Xie family, how could the Shen family have a place in Su City?"
Unfortunately, Shen Deming was easily influenced and there were no rules in the backyard, so the female members of the Shen family followed suit.
"How can Chen Tinglan, a concubine's daughter, have the face to see Yuzhu?"
The other sisters came to complain and also made things difficult for Jiang Yuzhu.
"You're trying to sow discord between Zhilan and Yuzhu, and between Yuanhe and Yuzhu. Is this the proper etiquette for women from aristocratic families? Even the gossipy women in the village don't have tongues that long!"
The more Shen spoke, the angrier she became, especially since Jiang Yuzhu was pregnant and no one in the Xie family dared to disturb her.
Shen Deming said indifferently: "Little sister, you are so biased. Jiang Yuzhu is your daughter-in-law, but she may not be one day. Tinglan has my blood, her surname is Shen, and she is a daughter of the Shen family."
Logically speaking, the niece should be closer. How can the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be good? There are so many complicated things going on.
Shen was too lazy to argue and wanted to curse a few times and leave. She had realized that if the upper beam was crooked, the lower beams would be crooked too. As a married woman, she didn't care and let the Shen family do whatever they wanted.
Shen Deming had never thought that he would curse Jiang Yuzhu openly. Shen immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "Shen Deming, you are a dog with no ivory in your mouth. Yuzhu is my daughter-in-law and my own daughter. You have no right to say such things!"
Even if Jiang Yuzhu kicked Xie Zhao, Shen would still recognize this daughter-in-law and make up her mind!
Anyone who dares to sow discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has bad intentions!
Now, Shen Deming was also angry. He was the head of the Shen family, and he was pointed at and scolded by the Shen family. Where was his dignity?
"Ms. Shen, look at how arrogant you are. Didn't you marry into the Xie family because of the Shen family's status? A married woman is like spilled water. Don't pretend to be an elder and teach the younger generation. You have no right to criticize the Shen family!"
After Shen Deming finished cursing, he still felt a little guilty.
The elders in the clan had a lot of complaints about him, saying that it was thanks to his younger sister that the position of clan leader fell on his head.
Now that they have offended someone, the Shen family’s position is unstable.
After Shen Deming finished speaking, he turned his gaze to his most beloved daughter, Shen Tinglan. Shen Tinglan was a talkative flower and would definitely take the initiative to admit her mistakes and ease the atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tinglan was holding her stomach, her mind had already drifted away, and she didn't say a word.
The room was completely silent.
Just as the situation was stagnant, the servant came back, "Master, Guo Rui is here to pick up the fourth young lady."
When Guo Rui was mentioned, Shen Tinglan's body trembled, and she instinctively said, "Daddy, my daughter doesn't want to go back!"
In the past, Shen Tinglan would have cried a few times and Shen Deming would have softened his heart, but the timing was not right. He was arguing with Shen and said impatiently, "Your aunt is right. How can a married woman live in her parents' home every day? If this gets out, it will be too outrageous!"
No matter what Shen Tinglan said, Shen Deming had no intention of changing his mind.
Shen Tinglan was powerless to save the situation, so she had to adjust her expression and pack up her package, but she was thinking about a way out in her heart.
"Husband, why is your face bruised?"
When Shen Tinglan saw Guo Rui, a look of panic appeared on her face, which was just caught by Guo Rui.
"The carriage fell into a ditch, and I accidentally fell down."
Guo Rui spoke lightly, holding Shen Tinglan's hand, but the malice in his eyes frequently emerged, making his expression a little creepy.
After the couple got on the carriage and cut off from the sight of the people around them, Guo Rui grabbed Shen Tinglan's neck and said viciously: "Bitch!"
"Ahem...husband..."
Shen Tinglan had difficulty breathing and coughed violently. Her eyes were erratic and she was suspicious.
Guo Rui narrowed his eyes as he watched this scene, and said with a sinister smile: "You want a divorce?"
"No, how could it be possible?"
Shen Tinglan was shocked. She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. She racked her brains to think of something to deceive Guo Rui.
Guo Rui leaned against the carriage. He didn't hear a word of what Shen Tinglan said. He just said, "Shen Tinglan, I advise you to put away your thoughts. You and I both know why I married you. If I tell the truth, what do you think will happen?"
"What? The Guo family has found a new backer and can break away from the Shen family?"
Shen Tinglan was not a stupid person. She heard the threat in Guo Rui's words and simply stopped pretending. "You have to know that Sucheng is now in the hands of the Xie family. Because of my aunt's relationship, the Shen family will not fall."
The Guo family still relies on the Shen family, so Guo Rui doesn't dare to do anything to her.
But Shen Tinglan is different. If the truth is revealed, she will at most be disliked by the Shen family and lose her backing, but she can stay away from Guo Rui, the venomous snake.
If it was a case of borrowing a knife to kill someone, Guo Rui would be dead...
Thinking of this, Shen Tinglan's eyes showed a hint of joy.
"Husband, don't forget that our interests as husband and wife are one."
Shen Tinglan has made up her mind to use Shen Zhilan to kill Guo Rui, the beast, to silence him!
At dusk, the spring water in the back garden of Xie's house gurgled, bringing a cool and refreshing feeling.
After dinner, Jiang Yuzhu was taking a few maids to cool off. When she learned that Cui Ji had abolished Guo Rui and received a sum of money, she smiled and said, "Cui Ji has only been with me for a short time, and he has already received the true teachings."
Beat someone up and then rob them, how satisfying!
Although it is not convenient to intervene on the surface, Jiang Yuzhu is not going to let the scum have an easy time secretly.
