Chapter 414 Kiss (1)
Shen Xin and his family started packing their luggage overnight. The most amazing thing was that before leaving, they forced Old Madam Shen to divide the family property in front of the Shen family.
On the day the Chen Xin couple were summoned to the palace, Shen Miao's argument with Old Madam Shen at the gate of the mansion eventually reached Chen Xin's ears, and he was naturally furious. The timing of this attempt to kick someone when they were down was too perfect, without even bothering to save face. Luo Xueyan was even more furious at herself for being so blind and treating this family of scoundrels with such sincerity.
Although Chen Xin had been stripped of his military power, he was a man of great resolve. When he really got stubborn, even nine oxen couldn't stop him. The clan leader didn't make it in time, but the clan members did. Before leaving, General Shen hoped for a harmonious family, but in the end, everything fell apart.
Old Madam Shen used the same skills she had used as a singing girl in the market to hustle and bustle around, and she actually took over most of General Shen's house and land. Shen Miao did not stop her. Over the years, due to poor management, the shops and land were no longer as productive as they once were. Keeping them around would be a burden. Besides, they were about to go to Xiaochun City, so these things were useless.
Chen Xin was not short of money. The emperor gave him a lot of rewards every year. Old Madam Shen originally thought that the whereabouts of Chen Xin's money in the public account books had been taken care of completely, but she didn't know that at the last moment, Shen Miao found another account book from somewhere. It clearly recorded the money that Chen Xin had paid to the public over the years.
In front of the clan members, these things could not be denied. No matter what, Madam Shen had to spit out some of them. Shen Miao thought it was simple. No matter how much he could get back, even if Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan looked down on these external things, it would be good to disgust Madam Shen.
Mrs. Shen was indeed sickened by the "disgust", and Chen Ruoqiu was also very angry. Now that Ren Wanyun had left the matter alone, she came to manage the family. The silver was not enough to begin with, and Shen Xin had asked for part of it back. If anything went wrong in the future, I was afraid that Mrs. Shen would take it out on her.
Chen Yue was also angry. These past few days, she had watched Chen Ruoqiu work herself to the bone over money. Her previously arrogant and aloof nature had changed. She had previously looked down on money, but now she felt the urge to fight for it. Unable to say anything in front of the clan members, she looked at Chen Miao and feigned worry, saying, "Fifth Sister, we don't know when she'll be back. I heard that Xiaochun City is short on supplies. It would be terrible if we don't have enough to eat and use. It's best to bring some money with you."
There was a subtle hint of ridicule in these words for Shen Miao going to a bitter cold place. Luo Xueyan was about to lose her temper, but she saw Shen Miao gently smile and said, "That's true, but the prices in Dingjing are also very high. Without the reward from His Majesty in the future, Second Sister, don't spend money as lavishly as before." Her eyes fell on Shen Yue's wrist and she smiled, "After all, you won't have Daddy to give you bracelets in the future."
Chen Yue was stunned, looking at the bracelet on her wrist, and then her face flushed red. That bracelet was none other than one of the rewards that Chen Xin had received. In the past, every year, Chen Xin's rewards were confiscated into the public treasury, and Chen Yue would also pick out some beautiful jewelry from them. Who knew that as soon as she said that, Shen Miao would directly say that the bracelet she was wearing belonged to Chen Xin. Wasn't that a slap in her face in public?
But this bracelet was extremely valuable, and Shen Yue was reluctant to take it off and return it to her.
Shen Miao seemed to have read her thoughts and smiled, "Sister, please return this bracelet. It is not reasonable to take back something you have given away. I wonder...will there be another bracelet as good as this in the future."
