Chapter 622 Farce (3)
Such a smooth-faced lie, yet it still felt like a slap in the face of the Third House. Especially Chen Yue. She had originally thought that after Shen Dongling married into the Wang family, the Wang family would treat her with all kinds of difficulties and despise her for marrying a concubine. However, she had never expected Shen Dongling to thrive in the Wang family. This was like a great irony to her. Didn't you not want to marry into the Wang Mansion? Sorry! Our eldest young master doesn't like you either. The eldest young mistress is loved and respected, and the Wang Mansion can still thrive without you!
Shen Yue gritted her teeth, somewhat unwillingly. She had originally tried every possible means to get Shen Dongling to replace her, but when she saw that Shen Dongling might actually be favored by the Wang family, Shen Yue became unhappy again. People have a strange tendency: if they don't want something themselves, they don't want others to get it easily.
Everyone in the Shen family was stunned. They had expected the Wang family to be furious upon discovering this and to turn on the Shen family, but they hadn't expected this attitude. Far from hating Shen Dongling, the Wang family seemed deeply dissatisfied with the Shen family's third branch. They were mocking her both openly and covertly.
Chen Ruoqiu was about to speak, but was stopped by Shen Wan. Shen Wan said, "In that case, I will come to your house to explain tomorrow. Before that, I hope you can be more rational and not let your anger cloud your mind."
The dark and strong woman laughed and said, "What are you talking about, Third Master? Right now, the mansion is bustling with activity and happiness. The master and his wife are very happy and say that the daughter you raised is excellent. How can you be so angry? Third Master, you are probably worrying too much."
This dark and strong woman was also a talent. Her words choked Shen Wan. She patted Wan Yi Niang's hand, looked at Old Madam Shen with a smile, and said, "I will take Wan Yi Niang back right now. I also hope that Old Madam will approve the transportation. The eldest young master is waiting for me to return to the mansion to report." She even brought up Wang Bi's name.
Old Madam Shen frowned and looked at Shen Wan and Shen Gui. She also vaguely realized that something was wrong with today's events. After all, Shen Wan was Shen Yue's father, and Aunt Wan was from the second house, so she had to make decisions for her two sons.
Shen Gui couldn't come up with any ideas. Shen Wan's face was gloomy, but he said: "In that case, Aunt Wan should go with you. It's rare that a child has this intention." The words were neither gloomy nor sunny, but it made people's backs chill.
Aunt Wan was half surprised and half frightened. She was surprised that the Wang family didn't seem to intend to pursue Shen Dongling's fault. She was frightened because she didn't know whether this was a deliberate act by the Wang family, or just to express their dissatisfaction and deliberately anger the third house. In the end, Shen Dongling would still be the one to be sacrificed.
The dark and strong woman kept her word and took Aunt Wan away in front of everyone in the Shen family. Silence fell in Rongjing Hall. After a moment, Old Madam Shen said coldly, "What on earth is going on?"
The Wang family's strange attitude made people feel more uneasy than if they had torn their faces in person. Chang Zaiqing moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but after glancing at Shen Wan's expression, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Chen Gui felt a little embarrassed. Originally, it was Shen Dongling who had snatched Shen Yue's marriage, and he had thought of handing Shen Dongling and her daughter over to the Wang family to appease the Wang family and the Third House, but he had never imagined that the situation would turn out like this. Chen Gui cleared his throat and said, "I'll write a letter to Dongling later to see what she's up to!"
Shen Wan smiled, looked at Shen Yue, and said softly, "Yue'er, come back to your room with me first." He turned and looked at Old Madam Shen again, saying, "Mother, you can't act rashly about the Wang family. After I personally apologize tomorrow, I think the matter can be resolved. It's all my fault for bothering you, old lady."
