Shen Weiwan raised her eyebrows: “Oh? Is she furious?”
"That's right!" Chuntao nodded. "What's more, the old housekeeper showed the kitchen account book to the old lady, and the old lady scolded the second wife and asked her to return the money she had withheld!"
Shen Weiwan smiled: "Spit it out? It would be strange if Liu, that stingy guy, could spit it out."
"That's right," Chuntao curled her lips, "Second Madam was crying and saying she had no money, and the old lady was so angry that she asked her to take out her dowry jewelry to pay off the debt!"
Shen Weiwan put down her chopsticks, her eyes turned cold: “Liu’s dowry? I’m afraid she had already pawned it.”
As he was speaking, the old housekeeper came again, holding a letter in his hand: "Miss, this is from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, inviting you to attend the polo match tomorrow."
Shen Weiwan took the letter and her heart moved. Why did Xiao Yu always invite her recently? Could it be like what Chun Tao said...
“Got it,” Shen Weiwan put the letter away, “Reply and tell me I’ll be there on time tomorrow.”
After the old housekeeper left, Chun Tao couldn't help gossiping: "Miss, does the Seventh Prince have a crush on you?"
Shen Weiwan rolled her eyes at her: “Don’t think too much, he just thinks I’m funny.”
Fun? I'm afraid it's more than that. Shen Weiwan thought of Xiao Yu's deep eyes and always felt that he looked at her differently. But now is not the time to think about these things. Her first priority is to completely overthrow Liu and Shen Ruoruo.
On the day of the polo match, Shen Weiwan, wearing a neat riding outfit, stood at the polo field of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Xiao Yu rode over on a white horse and handed her a club: "Miss Shen, do you know how to play polo?"
Shen Weiwan took the club and smiled cunningly: “No, but I will grab it.”
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, a hint of smile flashing in his eyes: "Oh? How do you rob it?"
"Just like this—" Shen Weiwan suddenly rode out, snatched the ball away while others were not paying attention, and winked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked at her back and couldn't help laughing. This Shen Weiwan was indeed as interesting as the rumors said.
On the polo field, Shen Weiwan rushed left and right. Although her skills were not good, she was brave and careful, and she grabbed the ball several times. The noble ladies on the sidelines were stunned. No one expected that the general's daughter, who was once stupid and dumb, would be so agile.
Shen Ruorou was also present, and seeing Shen Weiwan stealing the show, her eyes turned red with jealousy. She deliberately rode her horse closer, trying to knock Shen Weiwan off the horse.
Shen Weiwan was prepared and dodged sideways, and "accidentally" hooked Shen Ruoruo's reins with the club. Shen Ruoruo's horse was frightened and rushed forward suddenly, almost throwing her off.
“Oh, cousin, are you okay?” Shen Weiwan pretended to be concerned, “Why is your horse so disobedient?”
Shen Ruorou was so angry that her face turned pale, but she could only grit her teeth and say, “It’s okay, thank you for your concern, sister.”
Xiao Yu rode over and glanced at Shen Ruorou with a cold look in his eyes: “Second Miss Shen, it’s better to be careful on the polo field.”
Shen Ruorou looked at the way Xiao Yu defended Shen Weiwan, and she felt even more jealous. She glared at Shen Weiwan hatefully and rode away on her horse.
Shen Weiwan looked at her back, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. Shen Ruoruo, this is just the beginning, your "surprise" is still to come.
Xiao Yu looked at Shen Weiwan and suddenly asked, “You seem to hate your cousin?”
Shen Weiwan turned her head and smiled innocently: "Seventh Prince, you are joking. We sisters have a good relationship."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and remained silent. He naturally knew the relationship between Shen Weiwan and Shen Ruoruo, but he didn't expect that this seemingly innocent girl had so many calculations in her heart.
After the polo match, Xiao Yu sent Shen Weiwan back home. On the way, he suddenly said, "Shen Weiwan, you are very interesting."
Shen Weiwan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Seventh Prince. I’m better at making people angry than being interesting.”
Xiao Yu looked into her bright eyes and suddenly felt that there were too many things about this girl that he couldn't see through. But he didn't feel disgusted, instead he found it increasingly interesting.
"If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me." After Xiao Yu said this, he rode away.
Shen Weiwan looked at his back, thinking. What exactly did Xiao Yu mean? Did he really just think he was interesting?
No matter what, having the attention of the Seventh Prince would only bring her benefits and no harm. Shen Weiwan took a deep breath and returned to the General's Mansion.
As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw Liu and her men standing at the door with gloomy faces.
"Chen Weiwan, you still remember to come back?!" Liu shouted sternly, "Do you know your mistake?"
Shen Weiwan pretended to be stupid: "Aunt, what have I done wrong?"
"You still dare to quibble!" Liu pointed at her. "You bumped into your cousin on the polo field and nearly knocked her off her horse. Do you admit your guilt?!"
Shen Weiwan looked aggrieved: "Aunt, I didn't mean it, it was my cousin's horse that was frightened..."
"How dare you talk back!" Liu was shaking with anger. "Come here! Lock her up! Don't let her out without my order!"
The servants around heard this, but did not move. They looked at Liu, then at Shen Weiwan, and no one wanted to offend the powerful daughter.
Seeing this, Liu became even more furious: "Are you all deaf?! I told you to lock her up!"
The old housekeeper came out and said in a deep voice, "Second Madam, the eldest daughter is the legitimate daughter. You have no right to detain her."
Liu looked at the cold eyes of the servants around her and suddenly realized that she had really lost her power. These servants no longer obeyed her orders.
Shen Weiwan looked at Liu's ugly face and sneered in her heart. Liu, this is just the beginning. I will get back everything you owe me, including the principal and interest.
The servants' stance was only one step in her plan. Next, she would completely seize control of the General's Mansion, making it impossible for Liu and Shen Ruorou to rise again.
At this moment, Liu Shi, looking at the servants who no longer obeyed her orders and the smug Shen Weiwan, felt panic for the first time. She knew that she might not be able to defeat this dead girl. But she was unwilling to give up. She wanted to struggle and take back everything that belonged to her.
A new contest is about to begin in the General's Mansion. And Shen Weiwan is already prepared to meet all the challenges that come.
