Shen Wanghong didn't think that he was living a miserable life. Instead, he felt that such a life was very comfortable.
The Shen family didn't need his management, as their elder brother always supported them. He held a sinecure in the court, and although his salary wasn't much, he never lacked money. He would spend it when he had it, and keep a record of it when he didn't have any. They would come to the Shen Mansion to get it themselves.
My mother favors me and gives me a lot of money in private. Although it is not as good as the eldest wife, I have everything I want after all.
Outside, because of the Shen family's reputation, everyone politely calls him Second Master.
If we talk about cowardice, the only cowardice was marrying He. When He first came into the family, they also lived a loving life for a few years, but as time went by, He wanted more and more. Every time she saw him, she would cry or complain. Those things that seemed insignificant to him were like the sky falling when they came to He. He felt annoyed when he saw He.
What was He's status? She came from a humble family, and how could she have lived such a wealthy life in the Shen family before she got married? Her ancestors had been very lucky to be able to marry into the Shen family, and now she dared to look down on me.
The more Shen Wanghong thought about it, the angrier he became, and he kicked He in the heart.
"Don't you even consider your own status? Who the hell are you? You dare look down on me, some rotten fish from a stinking ditch? What kind of family is your He family? What kind of family is my Shen family? I didn't want to argue with you before because of your upbringing, but you are still getting ahead of me? Look at what you have brought up your daughter to be. She is so shameless at such a young age, yet she has done such a disgraceful thing. She might as well be hanged with a white silk silk!"
Shen Wanghong became more and more angry as he spoke, and turned to Shen Lijiao and cursed: "How dare you still have the nerve to live? It would be cleaner if you died, so as not to implicate your brother and make me unable to raise my head outside!"
Shen Wanghong really doesn't care about Shen Lijiao's life or death. As for his two children, if he cares about them, Shen Wanghong only cares about his son.
A son can carry on the family line, and only a son can sit by their side and enjoy the happiness of family life when they are old. When the son grows up, he can also pass the imperial examinations. If the son becomes successful, their second branch will have hope.
And for him, his daughter was just a toy to raise, and she would eventually marry into another family. Before, Chen Lijiao was engaged to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and he could still take advantage of the status of the future father-in-law of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to get some benefits outside, but now such a big thing has happened. Even if Shen Wanghong didn't know that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion had brought people to the street to cancel the engagement today, he knew in his heart that Chen Lijiao's marriage with the Yong'an Marquis Mansion would definitely not work out.
Not to mention that he couldn't get close to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, now Shen Wanghong didn't even dare to leave the door. His face was completely lost by Shen Lijiao.
It would be fine if Chen Lijiao died, but what's the point of her living except bringing shame to others!
Shen Wanghong's hateful eyes stimulated Shen Lijiao, and Shen Lijiao immediately screamed, "I won't die! I won't die!"
Why? She had no idea what was happening, yet she had to endure such a thing. The ones who deserved death were the ones who had set up the scheme, her mother, the He family, and that vile He Zhen! What did it have to do with her? Why should she die?
When Mrs. He saw her daughter's crazy look, she was already in tears. After all, she was her own flesh and blood, and she felt heartbroken.
"Jiao'er is not dead, Jiao'er is alive and well. Mother will go to the He family and ask He Zhen for an explanation."
"Get out, all of you!" Shen Lijiao screamed.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to come in and serve you. Don't get excited and don't think too much." He cried.
Shen Wanghong had long since stopped wanting to stay in this room. He didn't even bother to give the mother and daughter an extra glance. Now he couldn't go out. With such a big thing happening, he had to stay out of the spotlight, so he simply went straight into Concubine Xiang's yard and didn't come out.
Shen Lijiao didn't want the He family to ask He Zhen for an explanation. She didn't want to marry He Zhen at all. Who was He Zhen? Why would she marry him? Originally, marrying into the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was such a great marriage. Once she had decided on a marriage with the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, how long had she been able to hold her head high in front of Shen Liyue? Now it was He Zhen... Thinking of He Zhen's face, Shen Lijiao wanted to vomit.
How can He Zhen compare to Fang Zhiran?
After returning to her room, He sat in silence for a while. The development of the situation had already exceeded her expectations. She had obviously just wanted to frame Shen Liyue, but she didn't expect that she would end up hurting Jiao'er.
She wanted to go to the He family to ask for an explanation, but now, just like Shen Wanghong, she didn't dare to go out at all.
Although she was always dominated by the eldest wife in the past and always felt incompetent at home, she still had some dignity outside. But now, when she goes out, people point fingers at her everywhere. How can she bear such grievance?
Besides, since He Zhen did such a thing, the He family should also show their attitude. If the man is not anxious, do they still need the Shen family to take the initiative to come to the door? In the past, the Yongan Marquis Mansion could just fight for it on its own. What is the He family? Even the He family themselves look down on them.
After waiting for two days, there was no news from the He family and no one came to the door.
He couldn't sit still anymore. What did the He family mean by this?
So He wrapped herself tightly and took a carriage back to the He family.
After entering the He family's gate, the sister-in-law who always flattered him suddenly changed her face.
"It's my aunt who has returned. Please don't blame me. I wrapped myself so tightly, no wonder the servants didn't notice. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you can forgive me." Zhen said in a sarcastic tone, and didn't care about He's expression. She picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Don't you dare fart in front of me!" He Shi no longer cared about her dignity. "Zhen'er did that to my Jiao'er, don't you have any explanation? For so many days, have so many people in the He family just been sitting around doing nothing?"
Zhen said, "What are you talking about, Aunt? You keep mentioning the He family. Isn't the He family your family too?"
He said, "My family? I treat you as my own family. I don't know how much I've given you in private over the years, but what about you? You do such ruthless things, and this is how you repay me?"
Zhen was surprised and said, "What do you mean, Aunt? Did you say that the subsidy you mentioned was given to me? I don't even know what it was."
He said, "You're being unconscionable when you say that? It's true that all the money I've sent to the He family over the years has gone to my mother, but can you say you haven't spent a cent?"
Zhen turned a deaf ear to what He said. Since the money was not handed to her, it had nothing to do with her.
