Chapter 625 Farce (6)
This method almost made Shen Wan walk away in anger.
It wasn't uncommon for a legitimate daughter and a concubine's daughter to share a husband in Ming Qi. However, generally speaking, the legitimate daughter was the wife, and the concubine's daughter was a concubine. However, the Wang family proposed a co-wife! Furthermore, to conceal their intentions, Shen Yue was marrying as a concubine's daughter. Meanwhile, Shen Dongling, a concubine's daughter, stole the honor that Shen Yue deserved!
This is a humiliation!
Shen Wan flatly refused, but the Wang family was also adamant. After all, it wasn't the Wang family's fault for getting the wrong bride, and Shen Dongling and Wang Bi were getting along well, so they didn't care what happened to Shen Yue. But the Wang family could delay, but Shen Yue couldn't. If this continued, Shen Yue would be the only one to suffer.
So Shen Wan hesitated a little, because he and Chen Ruoqiu had argued several times about this matter.
Bai Lu was telling Shen Miao about the things that had come back from the Shen Mansion while watching Shen Miao's overjoyed expression. Shen Miao had always been calm and composed, and rarely was she as cheerful as she was now, as if she was truly delighted.
"Young lady, you're finding this amusing," Bai Lu said. "Second Miss has really shot herself in the foot this time. She's caused so much trouble for no reason, and it's giving Third Master a headache all day long."
"If you ask me, Third Miss is still lucky," Shuangjiang said. "Not only has she landed the title of an official's wife, but she seems to be receiving considerable attention from the entire Wang family. She's even taken in Concubine Wan to live with her. She's truly enjoying a glorious life."
"That's hard to say for sure." Bai Lu shook her head. "If the second young lady also marries into the Wang family, even though they'll be equal wives, there's still a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. The third young lady only has one concubine, and the second young lady at least has the third master as her family. The Wang family will probably favor the second young lady a little. The third young lady may be feeling proud right now, but she still has a long way to go."
Shen Miao smiled and said, “You’re wrong. Third sister is a formidable person.”
Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang both looked at Shen Miao. Shen Miao said, "Even if Shen Yue were to marry into the Wang family someday, she would certainly not be able to match Shen Dongling. I believe the Wang family's cold treatment of the Third House is because they knew it was Shen Yue who proposed the marriage exchange. Just ask yourself, what man in the world would like a wife who despises him? Even a man's dignity wouldn't allow it. And people like Shen Yue and Shen Dongling, marrying into another mansion, before they have children, can only rely on Wang Bi's favor. Unfortunately, Shen Yue has already lost."
"Chen Yue doesn't have Wang Bi's favor, so I'm afraid Wang Bi wouldn't even let her give birth easily. Although there's a difference between legitimate and illegitimate wives, they're both equal wives, so whoever gives birth first will naturally be the one in charge." Shen Miao said calmly, "Besides, with Chen Yue's intelligence, how could she possibly defeat Shen Dongling? Shen Dongling has been able to clear herself of all charges, to get Wang Bi to not blame her, and even to have Concubine Wan removed from the Shen residence. She's even been able to throw back all the dirty water thrown at her by the Third House, intact and different. How could such a formidable person be defeated by Shen Yue?"
Bailu and Shuangjiang were stunned after hearing this. After a while, Shuangjiang said, "It seems that the Third Miss is really a formidable person."
“She is the only one in the Shen Mansion who can achieve something.” Shen Miao said, “Help me grind the ink.”
Bai Lu went ahead to find some fragrant ink and while grinding it she saw Shen Miao take out a piece of paper and pen and spread it out, as if she was about to write something. Bai Lu asked, "Miss, are you going to write a letter?"
Shen Miao remained silent.
Naturally, Shen Miao was indeed pleased that Shen Yue had caused such a big mess and suffered the consequences of her own actions. However, she also did not forget that in her previous life, the third branch of the Shen family had also played a significant role in the downfall of the first branch.
One day she would demand this gift back. Kicking someone when they're down wasn't just something the Third House could do; she could do it too. She didn't want to do everything herself, but if the Third House pushed her into a new path, she wouldn't mind letting them move faster.
Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu quarreled all day long. At this time, they needed the comfort of their confidante the most.
It’s time to often perform in Qing.
