Chapter 201: Buy and Sell (4)
All of this was caused by Shen Miao. Otherwise, with Ren Wanyun's methods, how could Concubine Wan, who was once humbled by her, be so arrogant today?
"Mother," Shen Qing beside her pulled her hand. She had been treated coldly these days, and her arrogant and impetuous temperament had calmed down a lot. The resentment in her eyes did not diminish. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, just bear with it. When I enter the Prince's Mansion, even if it means risking my life, I will make Prince Yu take action against Shen Miao. I will definitely not let her have an easy time."
Because Shen Qing was already pregnant, the Empress Dowager's marriage was scheduled for next month to avoid any delays. With such a short timeframe and an imperial decree, Ren Wanyun was completely helpless and could only watch Shen Qing jump into the fire pit.
"Don't be afraid, Qing'er," Ren Wanyun said, "Your brother will be back soon. Yuan'er is the smartest. When he comes back, he will definitely find a way to ruin that little bitch's reputation." Shen Yuan will also rush back to attend Shen Qing's marriage. Ren Wanyun's eyes flashed. Now she is isolated and helpless. If Shen Yuanbo had not followed her instructions to please the old lady, I am afraid that the old woman would not help him.
When Shen Miao returned to the West Garden, she was surprised to see Shen Qiu waiting for her in the courtyard. Seeing her return, Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked her up and down and said, "Why did you take so long? I thought something had happened."
"Under the Emperor's feet, in broad daylight, anyone who takes action is a fool." Shen Miao handed him the snacks: "I bought them when I came back, here they are."
Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment, then took it with some emotion. This time when he came back, he was particularly surprised by the change in Shen Miao's attitude towards him.
“Why aren’t Dad and Mom here?” Shen Miao asked.
"Just returned to the capital, entertaining colleagues." Chen Qiu glanced up and down and said, "Sister, you are not here today. Dad has had some conflicts with the second and third uncles these days, and just now the old lady scolded Dad severely."
"Dad and Second and Third Uncles are in conflict?"
Chen Qiu looked at Shen Miao's expression, thought for a moment, and then said, "Sister, you know that because of the incident at the ancestral hall, my parents were a little unhappy with my second and third uncles. Naturally, they didn't pay much attention to them. The old lady must have been anxious, so she scolded my father." At this point, Chen Qiu couldn't help but reveal a look of discontent on his face: "The old lady is too biased. What's my father's fault? My second and third uncles didn't take good care of you in the mansion. I'm angry, let alone my father."
Shen Qiu did not call her "Grandma" but "Old Madam", and it was obvious that he had some complaints about Madam Shen.
After saying this, Shen Qiu couldn't help but glance at Shen Miao's face. Shen Miao had been raised by Old Madam Shen all these years. Every time she came back, she was very respectful to Old Madam Shen. Shen Qiu said these words impulsively, and he was a little unsure whether Shen Miao would be disgusted.
"There are differences between relatives and strangers. After all, it's not your own blood that's being shed." Shen Miao said indifferently, "Of course there will be some bias."
"Ha," Chen Qiu seemed to be happy to have found an ally for himself: "That's right, Dad is filial to her because of Grandfather. He has done enough for so many years. She actually called Dad unfilial..."
"The scolding of father is not just because of the matters of the second and third uncles," Shen Miao said, "I'm afraid it is also related to the fact that father did not hand over the silver awarded by His Majesty this time." Old Madam Shen loves money like her life. This time, Chen Xin kept the reward for himself because he was extremely angry. In addition, Shen Miao did not offer to send the silver. After a long time, Old Madam Shen naturally could not sit still and shamelessly came to find fault.
"Really..." Chen Qiu seemed to want to say something, but felt it was not a good idea to say it in front of his sister, so he endured it and said, "So what? Dad's things, I can give them to whoever I want!"
