Chapter 356: Get Out (3)
Instead of killing them all now, it is better to let them live with hope. Shen Gui thought he still had a son, and Ren Wanyun also thought that Shen Yuanbai would replace Shen Yuan. However, one day, when Shen Yuanbai could not escape the fate of heaven, the seeds of despair lurking in the second house would break out of the ground and submerge the entire second house.
The second branch is destined to be extinct, but they are now full of hope, not knowing that the footsteps of misfortune are slowly approaching them, waiting for the day when the scythe will be swung down to completely harvest the vitality of the entire family.
The chess moves are all prepared, and the pieces are moving forward step by step according to the predetermined path. Isn't this great?
"Miss, Mo Qing has been here before." Bai Lu walked in and asked with some embarrassment, "He said that the banknotes he gave me have been spent. Do you still want to go to Baoxianglou?"
Bai Lu felt a bit embarrassed and confused. How could a master give money to a subordinate to find a girl? And this wasn't just ordinary squandering. This wasn't just asking the subordinate to do an errand, it was clearly paying the subordinate to enjoy himself. What was even more hateful was that Mo Qing always acted like he was in agony after getting this lucrative job, which made people's teeth ache.
“Go get another five hundred taels of silver and give it to him.” Shen Miao said.
Bai Lu's face showed pain, only to hear Shen Miao's instructions: "By the way, let Mo Qing say those words to Liu Ying."
Several maids in the room were all stunned and looked at Shen Miao with some curiosity. After all, none of them knew what “that sentence” Shen Miao said was.
Bai Lu was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, Miss, Madam Zhang from Rongjing Hall came here a while ago. She seemed to want to inquire about the separation of the master and the mistress."
Ever since she learned the truth from Jing Guansheng that day, Luo Xueyan and Old Madam Shen had a huge argument, and she immediately told Shen Xin about it. Shen Xin was naturally furious and went to Rongjing Hall to argue with the old madam. Luo Xueyan was determined to split the family, and Shen Xin, disillusioned with the Shen family after this incident, naturally agreed. Even if she wanted to give up the property left by General Shen, she was determined to split the family. Old Madam Shen, knowing that she still needed Shen Xin's money and reputation, pretended to have a stroke and fainted in desperation, which was both infuriating and amusing.
Now that Mother Zhang came to inquire about the news, she was naturally trying to get the eldest wife to speak indirectly, thinking that Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were just saying this because they were angry at the moment.
"If she comes to inquire again, tell her that we have decided to divide the family. Please ask her to take good care of the old lady. If the old lady is not well for a long time, you can ask the elders of the clan to divide the family."
The elders of the clan have always looked down on Madam Shen's background. When General Shen was alive, he favored Shen Xin, so the elders would naturally favor Shen Xin. If someone from the clan came to split the family, Madam Shen would definitely not get away with it.
"I understand." Bai Lu smiled and walked out.
Shen Miao sat down at the table. Her life had just begun, but she had to plan so much. However, it was not easy to protect the Shen family while taking revenge.
We have to take it step by step.
…
These disturbances in Dingjing were merely after-dinner jokes, forgotten afterward. They became mere topics of conversation, but after a few days, they were replaced by new happenings.
When a person dies, everything is gone. The world is so cold and indifferent.
Baoxianglou is still as bustling as before. Recently, a new group of Persian dancers have arrived. They are beautiful and bold, and the princes and sons of the capital are flocking to them. Baoxianglou, which was already doing a booming business, is now almost overcrowded.
Men are always eager for novelty and get tired of the old. The new dancers were all the rage, while the former courtesans were deserted and unhappy. However, among these men, there was one who was particularly different. As he approached the door, the girl greeting him waved her handkerchief and said jokingly, "Master Mo, you're not going to order Miss Liuying today, are you?"
