Chapter 473 Zhou Xinrou refuses to see Shen Yuantang!
Yuan Tang followed in his boss's footsteps, becoming more and more of a hindrance and confused, especially during crucial moments.
"grandmother……"
Shen Yuantang came here with the attitude of not giving up until she achieved her goal. Since her sister had already helped her get rid of Bai Qingling, why not eliminate her completely and make Bai Qingling commit suicide in the prison out of fear of punishment?
That older sister really doesn't know how to handle things!
Despite Shen Yuantang's repeated pleas, Old Madam Shen was eventually persuaded.
"I'll talk to Lanxi when she gets back. As for whether she's willing to help you, Grandmother can't force her!"
During this time, she studied Buddhism with the master and came to understand a principle: there's no need to force things; blessings will come naturally. Forcing things too much will only lead to more losses than gains.
Shen Yuantang was somewhat displeased when he heard his grandmother say that.
Grandmother is the eldest elder in the family. If she casually gives an order to the eldest sister, how could the eldest sister disagree?
“Yuantang, you should talk to your mother about this. Your mother is closer to your eldest sister than I am. Grandmother is getting old and can no longer do many things.” Old Madam Shen was completely indifferent to this matter.
The master analyzed for her that her family and the Prince of Zhennan would be enemies from now on. It wouldn't be a life-or-death struggle, but they would be sworn enemies. The two families would eventually have to break off relations.
Now that she's looking for Lanxi because of the position of Princess Consort of Zhennan, she's just making things difficult for Lanxi.
The family is currently relying on Lanxi for support; we can't let her, this big tree, fall.
Having not received a definite answer from Madam Shen, Shen Yuantang turned around and went to find Zhou Xinrou.
But to my surprise, I was turned away.
"Why won't Mother see me?" Shen Yuantang glared angrily at the servant.
"The princess has just taken her medicine and gone to sleep," the servant replied respectfully in a low voice, without moving an inch.
Shen Yuantang said angrily, "Then I'll wait for Mother in the side room until she wakes up before we meet again!"
The servant repeated, "The princess just took her medicine and went to sleep!"
Shen Yuantang was furious: "How dare you, you lackeys! How dare you stop me from seeing my mother? You must have a death wish!"
"Guards, give these two lackeys fifty lashes and sell them off!" Shen Yuantang was in a good mood today, but after being rebuffed by Old Madam Shen and then turned away here, he lost his temper.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that none of these servants respected her.
It must be because she's been so busy taking care of the children lately that the servants in the Shen family have forgotten about her.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and tie them up!" Shen Yuantang shouted, his voice arrogant and furious.
The servants of the Shen family acted as if they hadn't heard anything, going about their business as usual, and in the blink of an eye, they all disappeared.
Shen Yuantang's face instantly darkened.
Now even a servant doesn't respect her?
Excellent, truly excellent!
Shen Yuantang ordered his two maids, "You two, go up and slap them!"
The two maids felt a pang of bitterness; they had already clearly grasped the situation in the Regent's Palace.
If they start making a move now, will they still be able to leave standing up later?
"Are you two deaf? Didn't you hear me?" Shen Yuantang's eyes were blazing with anger.
The two maids dared not disobey Shen Yuantang, and hesitated before slowly and reluctantly stepping forward.
Shen Yuantang's temper flared even more.
"Useless thing! You always have a lot of ideas, but you're useless when it really matters!" Shen Yuantang shoved the two of them aside and raised his hand to slap the old woman's face.
The old woman's head didn't even tilt when the slap landed.
Shen Yuantang's hand was sore!
"You two lackeys, get out of my way!" Shen Yuantang said angrily.
"Get out of the way..."
"This concubine is telling you to get out of my way!"
Shen Yuantang slapped the old woman every time he spoke.
The old woman who was slapped didn't even flinch, and her feet seemed rooted to the spot, not even wobbling.
"You dog servants, did you hear what I, your concubine, said?"
"If you don't move aside, watch out for your dog heads!"
Miao rushed over after receiving a plea for help from her servants.
"Yuantang, what are you doing?"
"Making a scene in front of your mother's door, what kind of behavior is this!" Miao glanced at the old woman whose face was red and swollen and whose mouth was streaked with blood, and felt her heart pound with fear.
Everything has turned upside down! It's truly turned upside down now!
"Third Aunt, you've come at the right time! Those two old women actually blocked me from going in to see Mother," Shen Yuantang complained, pointing at the two old women.
Miao looked at Shen Yuantang with a strange expression, not realizing that Shen Lanxi's younger sister was actually stupid.
She didn't even consider that they were just servants; where did they get such audacity? It must have been the orders from their masters.
Strange, why won't the sister-in-law see her own daughter?
“Yuantang, you are the young lady of the family, the mistress. Why are you getting angry with those two old women? Come on, let’s go sit in Third Aunt’s courtyard.”
Shen Yuantang refused to go.
"Third Aunt, you've sold off these two disrespectful servants!" She left in such a disgraceful manner. What would the servants in the mansion think of her from now on?
Miao felt bitter and cursed the servant who went to fetch her hundreds of times in her heart.
“Those are servants in your mother’s courtyard. As her sister-in-law, what right do I have to deal with them? Yuan Tang, listen to your third aunt, your third aunt has something to say to you!”
Miao used a combination of coaxing and deception to finally get Shen Yuantang to leave.
When Shen Yuantang left the Miao family's courtyard, his two maids were carrying a lot of things.
After seeing the man out the door with a dark expression, Madam Miao immediately gathered all the servants in the mansion together and berated them.
"This is the Regent's Palace. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here is disrespecting the Regent. Do you understand?"
She didn't say we couldn't go to her. Disrespecting the Regent is unacceptable. Whether to hit him or chase him away is something for the people in charge of the household to worry about!
...
Shen Lanxi heard the news of Shen Yuantang coming to her door immediately.
"My mother won't see her?"
"Your Highness, the commotion was quite loud, and the princess did not come out to stop it."
Shen Lanxi raised an eyebrow: "Understood. If she causes trouble in the manor in the future, kick her out of the manor!"
"yes!"
~
Emperor Renxiao was hoping that Prince Chen would return to the capital soon, unaware that Prince Chen would never return in this lifetime.
She doesn't need to lift a finger; all she needs to do is subtly hint that Emperor Renxiao intends to establish Prince Chen as his successor, and someone will take care of it for her.
Two days later, news of Prince Chen's death in an ambush by bandits was delivered to Wang Bao through the secret guards.
Wang Bao then immediately sent it to Shen Lanxi.
"Should we tell His Majesty?" Wang Bao asked respectfully.
Shen Lanxi: "Speak."
Wang Bao: "Won't His Majesty's health hold up?" He wasn't worried about Emperor Renxiao's health, but rather that if Emperor Renxiao died, Shen Lanxi wouldn't be able to control the civil and military officials in the court.
Shen Lanxi raised the corners of her mouth: "His Majesty's health will improve in the next few days." Of course, it's only an superficial improvement.
Upon hearing this, Wang Bao was filled with doubt and unease.
