Chapter 326: Female Beauty (2)
Bai Lu picked up the paper that Shen Miao had written and let it air dry before getting up and heading to the small kitchen. The West Courtyard wasn't eating with the East Courtyard anymore, and they were just opening up the small kitchen. This behavior clearly showed they didn't trust the East Courtyard.
“I heard that the young master and the old lady had another quarrel today.” Jingzhe said as he helped Shen Miao put away the paper and ink on the table, “It seems that the Jing family is already on their way. The old lady is worried because she can’t delay any longer.”
“I’ve said everything I need to say.” Shen Miao picked up the tea and took a sip: “My cousin is a smart man. He can’t let others take advantage of him for nothing.”
"My cousin is really cruel." Guyu also said, "He is threatening to report the matter to the authorities all day long. He knows that the Second Young Master has just returned to Beijing to take up his post. If he reports the matter to the authorities, his official career will be ruined. In my opinion, the Second Young Master will have to marry my cousin this time. This is all thanks to the old lady for strictly following the old master's family precepts." At the end of his speech, the last tone of his voice could not help but float high, and he forced himself to suppress the joy in his heart.
Old Madam Shen's behavior makes people feel sick. Now she is shooting herself in the foot. How can this not make people happy?
"But..." Jingzhe asked, "What's the point of my cousin going to all this trouble to marry the Second Young Master? The Old Madam has already fallen out with her, and the Second Young Master is also unhappy. Even if she marries into the family, there will definitely not be a loving relationship. Isn't my cousin just asking for trouble?"
Shen Miao smiled faintly: "Jing Chuchu didn't marry a person, but money. If that's the case, what difference does it make whether they like each other or not, whether they are in love or not?" In her previous life, Jing Chuchu married Shen Qiu, and Shen Qiu treated her well, but she still ended up hurting him to such a state. For Jing Chuchu, as long as she could climb up the social ladder, it didn't matter who the other person was.
"Come to think of it," Gu Yu curled her lips, "My cousin wanted to harm the young master, and now she is allowed to marry in just because it's okay. It's really unpleasant. After all, this whole thing was caused by her. How come the evildoers don't get their comeuppance?"
Shen Miao opened the window, looked outside and said, “Do you think this is the end?”
Guyu's eyes lit up: "Young lady, you still have a trick up your sleeve?" The longer she stayed with Shen Miao, the more she saw of her methods. Guyu was no longer surprised. If it were in the past, she might have been surprised by Shen Miao's coldness and cruelty, but after going through so many things, she really didn't have any good feelings towards the people from the other two branches of the Shen Mansion. The so-called sympathy and pity had long since disappeared.
"Making them speechless is just the beginning," Shen Miao said, "Jing Chuchu schemed against Big Brother first. Does she think she can escape?"
Jingzhe and Guyu looked at Shen Miao with sparkling eyes. Shen Miao waved her hand and said, "Go and settle the money for Fu'er first."
Madam Shen had been so busy dealing with Jing Chuchu and Jing Guansheng recently that she hadn't bothered to investigate the reason for the change of host at the family dinner. Fu'er would eventually be married off to the steward's one-eyed son. She could find a way to help her escape the Shen residence by offering her some extra money.
Guyu took the silver and said with a smile, "I understand. The maidservants around my cousin should also send some silver, right?"
Shen Miao nodded in satisfaction: “Not bad.”
The one who bites the most is the dog that lives next to you, just like Leo in my previous life.
It doesn't matter that she suffered losses in this regard. The lessons she learned can also be used on others.
…
Five days later, the news of Shen Yuan and Jing Chuchu's engagement spread throughout Dingjing City.
As the most outstanding young master of the Shen family besides Shen Qiu, Shen Yuan had just returned to the capital to take up his post after several years of experience abroad. Originally, he had a bright future waiting for him. Dingjing City was also full of girls with good family backgrounds and good looks. If he carefully selected, it would not be difficult to find a wife who could help him.
