Chapter 624 Farce (5)
Shen Wan pressed his forehead, looking at Chen Ruoqiu with disappointment in his eyes. He said, "When did you become so confused about right and wrong?"
Chen Ruoqiu was stunned. Shen Wan continued, "Never mind. I'll personally go to the Wang family tomorrow to apologize. But I don't know if this will work out. After all, our Shen family was at fault first. If it doesn't work out... that's your own fault." After saying this, he glanced at Shen Yue, turned around, and left.
Chen Ruoqiu was frightened by the disappointed look in Shen Wan's eyes as he left. Before she could say anything, Shen Wan had already left the room. Looking at Shen Yue sobbing, she could only turn back to comfort her daughter.
Shen Wan left the house, and the servant beside him saw his exhausted appearance and asked, "Master, do you want to go out of the house to relax?"
"No need." Shen Wan waved his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's go to the West Courtyard."
The west courtyard is now the courtyard where Chang Zaiqing lives.
The servant said nothing, and silently led Shen Wan to the west courtyard.
The two of them didn't notice that someone was watching them from afar. This person was none other than Madam Zhang, who was standing beside Old Madam Shen in Rongjing Hall. Madam Zhang murmured in confusion, "Why would the Third Master go to the West Courtyard..."

This farce that happened in the Shen Mansion early in the morning soon reached Shen Miao's ears.
When the separation order from the Shen family was first passed, Shen Miao had also selected some maids from the second and third houses, and even from Rongjing Hall. Housekeeper Chen Ruoqiu wasn't as capable as Ren Wanyun. Ren Wanyun's involvement in the government had made the various courtyards, especially Caiyun Court, like a tightly controlled prison, making it difficult to penetrate. Chen Ruoqiu's management of the Shen residence was like a pile of loose sand. Furthermore, the Shen residence's income and expenditure had suddenly shrunk, and the servants were struggling. For Shen Miao, simply offering a little money to bribe the servants was a simple matter. Furthermore, what she wanted to inquire about wasn't confidential, but merely the small and large happenings within the Shen residence, which she could easily uncover with a little inquiry.
After the decline of the Second Branch of the Shen Family, it was the Third Branch that held the Shen Family together. Chen Ruoqiu always acted like the mistress of the household, and Shen Yue stood out because she had no other sisters to compete with her.
I wonder if it's because people live in comfort for too long that their brains don't have enough time to use. For example, the move Shen Yue made this time was truly terrible.
After this incident, Shen Wan, as he had promised, went to the Wang family, the official's family, to apologize the next day. It's unknown what kind of excuse he had prepared, perhaps trying to subtly shift all the blame onto Shen Dongling. Who knew this time, the Wang family would give Shen Wan a hard slap in the face.
The Wang family did not accept Shen Wan's apology. The Wang family did not recognize Shen Yue at all. They insisted that Shen Dongling was the legitimate daughter of the third house. As for Shen Yue, sorry, this person did not know her at all.
Shen Wan was extremely embarrassed, realizing they were deliberately picking on him. He also realized the Wang family might have already known that Shen Yue had proposed the marriage swap, and that was why they were deliberately trying to embarrass him. Shen Wan had assumed that with his connections to the Wang family, if he could just hold onto Qiao for a while, the Wang family would eventually exchange Shen Yue and Shen Dongling. But this time, Shen Wan was wrong.
So, two solutions were finally found. One was for Shen Dongling to marry as Shen Yue, and the real Shen Yue would never be seen again. This naturally made Shen Wan unacceptable. So, the second solution was that Shen Yue would also marry into the Wang family as a co-wife.
Because everyone participated in the previous marriage of Shen Yue and Wang Bi, there was no need to make a big deal about Shen Yue's real wedding this time. Others would think it was a concubine's daughter getting married, so it was kept so low-key.
