Chapter 626 Push Wave (1)
The marriage exchange between Shen Yue and Shen Dongling ultimately led to unimaginable consequences. At the behest of the Wang family, Shen Wan reluctantly agreed to let Shen Yue marry as a co-wife. It's unclear what Shen Dongling and the Wang family discussed, as the Wang family refused to listen to Shen Wan's explanation. A good marriage couldn't end up as a feud, and Shen Wan had no other choice.
But this was not the outcome Shen Yue had hoped for. This time, with no one left to exchange marriages with, Shen Yue simply broke off relations with her, constantly arguing that she would rather die than marry into the Wang family, and she would not tolerate Shen Dongling being on equal terms with her.
Not only was Shen Yue unwilling, but Chen Ruoqiu was also furious. Normally, Chen Ruoqiu was a considerate person, but when it came to Shen Yue's life, she couldn't hold back and insisted that Shen Wan go to the Wang family to seek an explanation. The couple, who had always been so loving and affectionate, had been having frequent conflicts lately, leaving the servants of Qiu Shuiyuan utterly speechless.
The same is true today.
Chen Ruoqiu paced back and forth in the room, then suddenly turned around and walked in front of Shen Wan, anxiously saying, "What exactly is the Wang family thinking now? We can't let Yue'er drag it on like this. That little bitch Shen Dongling is taking advantage of our Yue'er's reputation. Could it be that she still wants to be a proper young lady? Master, go to the Wang family and have a say!"
She kept calling him "little bitch," completely different from her usual well-mannered appearance. Shen Wan couldn't help but frown. He said patiently, "At this point, the only option is to let Yue'er marry him as a co-wife first, and then make plans. You keep arguing like this, and Yue'er is restless. There's nothing we can do!"
"Master!" Chen Ruoqiu screamed, "Yu'er is also your daughter, the legitimate daughter of our Third House. She was raised in our care, like a pearl and jade. How could you say that she should be your equal wife? And what's more, she should be on equal footing with that little bitch Shen Dongling! Even if this was Yue'er's fault, Shen Dongling must have seduced her. How could you be so heartless!"
As if Chen Ruoqiu's voice had pierced his ears, Shen Wan said angrily, "Then what do you say we should do? The longer things are delayed, the only one who will suffer is Yue'er. If things get out of hand as you said, Shen Dongling, a concubine's daughter, won't be affected much, but Yue'er will be laughed at and ridiculed, and the Shen family will become a joke. What can you do about it?"
Chen Ruoqiu was startled by Shen Wan's angry voice and shrank a little, but then she thought of Shen Yue and said, "But we can't let Yue'er suffer like this? No, I have to go to the palace and tell her in person!"
"Enough!" Shen Wan said angrily, "You better stay in the mansion and keep an eye on Shen Yue. It's the right thing to do if you don't cause me any trouble!"
Chen Ruoqiu was stunned. She had lived with Shen Wan for so many years, and even when he was most angry, Shen Wan had never said this to her. As if with disdain and impatience, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously said, "You and I were a young couple, originally loving and harmonious. We agreed not to take a concubine. Now you are dissatisfied with my faded appearance. Mother keeps saying that she wants to take you a concubine. Are you tempted? Do you dislike me..."
Chen Ruoqiu has always been a bit petty. Although she comes from a family of scholars, she's particularly prone to petty tempers, and Shen Wan is quite taken in by her. After too long, being sweet and sweet inevitably gets boring. Perhaps a little pretense, done just right, can also make a man feel pity. Unfortunately, this pretense was fun when she was young, but in her old age... it's a bit off-putting.
Especially in the past few days, Chen Ruoqiu had been busy with Shen Yue's affairs, and her face had become haggard. She didn't take care of herself much. In addition, her rude and impolite behavior just now made Shen Wan look a little ridiculous. He glanced at Chen Ruoqiu calmly and said, "If you think so, then think so." He turned around and left.
