He Yinxue used all her strength in this slap, and a bright red palm print quickly appeared on her face.
Mother Shen calmed down a little, and said coldly to the man standing beside her: “Marquis Yong’an, how do you plan to solve today’s matter?”
Fang Zhiran lowered his head. Just now, a group of ladies and young ladies broke into the house and blocked the door. He couldn't find any chance to escape.
"I, I don't know..." Fang Zhiran looked confused.
He Yinxue's heart sank when she saw Fang Zhiran's reaction. She wrapped herself in the quilt and spoke hesitantly:
"My Lord, you have broken my virginity, so I have no choice but to die!" After saying this, he was about to hit the bedside table.
"Shut up!" Mother Shen yelled, "You don't have the right to speak here!"
He Yinxue was frightened by Shen's mother and stopped moving. As she moved, the quilt fell down, revealing her spring scenery again.
"Look at her foxy look, she's so shameless."
"You do this in broad daylight, and you're still yelling like that, bah!"
Someone in the crowd was muttering, and the discussion was getting louder and louder.
Mother Shen was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but the matter was not resolved yet, so she had to suppress her unhappiness and said to Fang Zhiran,
"My Lord, are you not going to take responsibility?"
Fang Zhiran's face had already turned red, "No, no..."
Fang Zhiran gritted his teeth, bowed to Mother Shen and said, “The Fang family is willing to take Miss He as a concubine!”
Of course He Yinxue was unwilling to accept this. What she wanted to do was to be Fang Zhiran's legal wife.
She looked at Fang Zhiran, eyes full of disbelief, "The Marquis ruined my body, but wants me to go to the Marquis's mansion to be a concubine?"
"Hmph." Mother Shen snorted coldly. "It seems that there will be no result today. Please ask the Marquis to go back and discuss it with Madam Fang, and then come to discuss it with us."
Mother Shen turned to face everyone, her face full of sincerity: "Please don't spread what happened today. It will disturb your interest. The Shen family will hold a banquet another day and apologize to you."
The ladies and young ladies quickly responded, and then dispersed upon seeing this.
Everyone left, and Mother Shen looked at He Yinxue on the bed with cold eyes and said:
"What are you still doing standing there? Waiting for me to help you get dressed?"
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked away.
Shen Liyue hadn't walked a few steps behind Shen's mother when she felt someone tugging at her sleeve. Shen Liyue glanced behind her and saw that it was Shen Lijiao who had caught up with her.
"Why are you here?" Shen Lijiao asked her, suppressing her inner panic.
"Where else should I be?"
Shen Liyue didn't say the following words, and Shen Lijiao had already turned away guiltily.
Back in her room, Chen Liyue sat in front of the mirror and asked Lian Dong and Yu Zhou to take off all the hairpins and earrings on her head.
After wearing it for half a day, her head started to hurt.
Lian Dong rubbed Shen Liyue's temples while saying indignantly:
"Those two evil-minded people actually wanted to do this to the young lady! How despicable! If the young lady hadn't been alert and asked Yuzhou to knock Miss Xue unconscious and take her to the next room, and then asked the servant to bring the Marquis of Yong'an over and push him into the room, the young lady would be the one injured right now!"
Seeing that Lian Dong was becoming more and more inappropriate as he spoke, Yuzhou pulled Lian Dong's sleeve.
Lian Dong became more and more angry as he spoke, "That's what I want to say."
"If you ask me, the young lady is too kindhearted. She actually let him climb into the bed of the Marquis of Yong'an. What are those two despicable people thinking? They only found a servant to do menial work! What if the young lady... wouldn't that be truly disgusting!"
Shen Liyue opened her eyes and said quietly, "He Yinxue wanted to harm me, but ended up hurting herself instead. This is all her own fault."
"She wanted to marry Fang Zhiran, so I gave her a push, and by the way...it was also helping myself."
Lian Dong suddenly remembered the engagement between the Fang and Shen families. "Miss Xue did this with the Yong'an Marquis. What about her marriage?"
"Marriage?" Shen Liyue smiled, "Of course it won't happen."
"Call Bo Shan." Chen Li ordered.
After Shen's mother brought He Yinxue back, she asked her and Meng'er to kneel in her yard.
Mother Shen ordered people to guard the yard. Shen Lijiao couldn't get in, so she hurried back to tell her mother.
When He heard that He Yinxue was punished by the eldest wife to kneel, she didn't bother to listen to Chen Lijiao's account of what happened today, and rushed to Chaoxiaju to ask for an explanation.
"What are you doing, sister-in-law?" He said indignantly, "I didn't know the eldest wife's influence was so extensive that it even reached my second wife's!"
Seeing He coming, Shen's mother waved her hand, and the servants dispersed, letting He's mother and daughter in.
When Mrs. He came in, she wanted to pull He Yinxue up.
“Let’s see who dares to move!” Nanny Xing moved a chair and Mother Shen sat in the yard.
He thought to herself, has Jiang Jinghe gone crazy today? Just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang's cold voice:
"Tell your aunt yourself what you did."
The words were spoken to He Yinxue. He looked down and saw a big red palm print clearly visible on He Yinxue's face. At the moment, she was biting her lip and not saying a word, with tears falling from her eyes as if they were worthless.
"If you don't want to tell me, I'll ask someone to tell me." He waved her hand, and Nanny Xing beside her started talking and told her everything that happened today.
After hearing this, He's mind seemed to explode.
She staggered and covered her chest, and the girl beside her quickly supported her.
"If the Second Branch feels that my First Branch is overreaching, then I won't care. How about asking all the elders in the clan to come and see how this matter can be resolved?"
"Absolutely not!" He's face turned pale.
If the clan elders knew about this, there would be a lot of gossip, and if it got out, it would ruin the reputation of the entire Shen family!
Although He Yinxue is not from the Shen family, she is staying at the Shen Mansion after all, and was brought out by her Shen family. She doesn't care if it causes trouble for others. Seeing that Shen Lijiao is about to reach the age of marriage, what should she do if it affects her marriage?
"What does Marquis Yong'an say?" He asked.
Jiang sneered, "Marquis Yong'an said that his mansion is willing to take He Yinxue as a concubine."
"What? A concubine?" He's face flushed purple. "This Yong'an Marquis really doesn't take my Shen family seriously!"
The Shen family? Jiang was so angry that she laughed. "He Yinxue's last name isn't Shen. Besides," Shen paused, "the Fang and Shen families already have an engagement. I'm afraid my sister-in-law hasn't forgotten!"
"If you want the position of legal wife, you have to ask my Liyue if she agrees!"
He was so angry that she was confused. After hearing what Jiang said, she remembered that she had an engagement.
But she was still unwilling to accept it. Even though their He family had fallen on hard times, He Yinxue was still the eldest daughter of the eldest son. How could she be reduced to being a concubine in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion?
If this really happened, how would she explain it to her brother and sister-in-law?
My brother and sister-in-law asked He Yinxue to stay at the Shen family, with the intention of asking them to help find a good marriage for He Yinxue. If He Yinxue really becomes a concubine, He Shi will never be able to enter the He family again in the future!
