Neither Shen's mother nor her sister-in-law ever imagined that Shen Yuqin's affair would be with Wang Yanping.
etc!
If Shen Yuqin's affair was with Wang Yanping, does that mean Wang Yanping was originally Master Mu's attendant?
What rank is a general's orderly?
Now that the Mu family knows about this relationship, what about Wang Yanping's future?
Would the Mu family allow an adulterer to stay by their side?
wrong!
Ordinary people who have improper lifestyles will be punished by having their heads shaved and being paraded through the streets as an example, let alone Wang Yanping who is in the army?
The Mu family might spare Shen Yuqin for Mu Jingshu's sake, so why would they spare Wang Yanping?
Was he moved by the couple's relationship?
No matter how hard they tried, Shen's mother and sister-in-law couldn't understand it. They had lost all interest in taking advantage of the situation. They felt that something was off about the matter and were even more afraid that the fire would spread to the Shen family.
The two of them didn't say anything, put down Shen Yuqin's things and left in a hurry. They needed to go home and discuss this matter with the old man and Shen Laoda.
Shen Yuqin's face darkened. She felt that her mother and sister-in-law were terrible people. No matter what, they should send her to the Wang family. That way, she would have a more legitimate reason to complain.
Wang Yanping's father was an honest man, but his mother was no pushover; she probably still harbors resentment over what she did back then.
Put yourself in their shoes. If your son was betrayed and still refused to get married, what mother wouldn't feel resentful?
Fortunately, she still has the "imperial sword" in her belly, and besides, she has Wang Yanping's favoritism. Shen Yuqin is very confident that she can restrain Wang Yanping's mother.
That old hag, if her attitude is decent, she'll still have food to eat in the future; if her attitude is bad, we'll see how she gets treated later.
What can she do when she only has one son?
As soon as Shen's mother and sister-in-law returned home, they ran into an angry Shen Ruyi.
Shen Ruyi's eyes reddened when she saw Shen Dasao.
Sister-in-law Shen: What's wrong? Aren't you going to work this afternoon?
Shen Ruyi burst into tears and said angrily, "I'm not going. I'm so angry. It's all because of that brat Mu Jingshu. She actually helped outsiders bully me."
Shen Ruyi's voice was not quiet; the fact that such a big girl was crying and shouting attracted the attention of the neighbors.
Mother Shen grabbed the two clueless mother and daughter by the arms and pulled them inside, cursing as she did so: "You're such a grown-up, yet you let a ten-year-old girl bully you. Who wouldn't be ashamed if word got out? You still have the nerve to cause a scene at the gate. You may be shameless, but the Shen family certainly is."
When Shen's father and the rest of the Shen family heard the noise, they all came out. They all knew that Shen's mother and sister-in-law had gone to pick up Shen Yuqin. They were all on tenterhooks, wondering what was going on and whether this would affect their future.
But when they came out, they didn't see Shen Yuqin; instead, they saw Shen Ruyi crying.
Could it be that the Mu family is the first to target Shen Ruyi?
It can't be that bad.
Shen Ruyi wasn't highly regarded in the Shen family. If anyone was to be targeted, it should be the eldest son of the Shen family, or the most favored grandson.
Is it to give the Shen family a complete cheat code?
Everyone was startled.
If that's the case, no one in the Shen family can escape.
Everyone was extremely uneasy, except for Old Man Shen, who remained clear-headed. Not seeing Shen Yuqin, he asked Shen's mother with a dark face, "Where is she?"
Mother Shen: "Old man, we rushed back to tell you something."
Father Shen: "Didn't you get it out?"
Mother Shen: "It's out."
Father Shen: "And what's the matter with Ruyi?"
Mother Shen slapped Shen Ruyi and said with a dark face, "Tell me yourself."
Shen Ruyi was sobbing, completely different from her arrogant demeanor outside. She secretly glanced at her father and said timidly, "Today, I went out to eat with my colleagues and ran into Mu Jingshu. She colluded with outsiders to bully me."
Father Shen glanced at Shen Ruyi with disdain, then chuckled and said coldly, "You, a nineteen-year-old girl, are complaining that a ten-year-old child bullied you, and you even come to your parents crying and complaining. Where is your face? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing outside. It wasn't easy for the Shen family to get to where it is today. Don't be ungrateful. If anyone does anything outside that harms the Shen family, don't blame me for being impolite."
Shen Ruyi shrank her neck, stopped crying, moved closer to Shen Dasao, and dared not speak.
Sister-in-law Shen pinched Shen Ruyi hard, feeling utterly disappointed. She was so useless herself, yet she was criticizing a ten-year-old child. Where was her face?
She's already nineteen, yet she's so ambitious. She always wants to learn from Shen Yuqin and marry a high-ranking official, but she doesn't have Shen Yuqin's cunning.
What does that leader see in you? You're neither pretty nor have a good figure. Luckily, your youth is an advantage. If you're lucky, you might be able to find an older leader.
In the past few months, he was always going to the military compound. He had a good eye for families that were quite prominent. If Shen Yuqin hadn't divorced, he might have been able to pull some tricks, but now that Shen Yuqin herself has been kicked out, he probably can't even think about it.
Mr. Shen sat at the head of the table, holding a teacup, listening attentively as Mrs. Shen recounted everything about Shen Yuqin. When she mentioned that Shen Yuqin was pregnant and that her affair was with Wang Yanping, Mr. Shen's eyes flickered.
Shen Yuqin consulted her father before plotting against Mu Zhenting. Her father gave her many suggestions, but they never expected that Wang Yanping would be so capable as to stay by Old Master Mu's side.
When Shen's father first found out, he was quite alarmed, fearing that the Mu family would find out about the relationship between Shen Yuqin and Wang Yanping.
Perhaps it was a cruel joke of fate; the Mu family didn't notice, but the two of them themselves were exposed.
Father Shen sighed. Things had already come to this point, so all they could do was deal with it as it came and take it one step at a time.
Since Wang Yanping is alright now, perhaps the Mu family doesn't want to escalate the situation.
Father Shen was actually very uncertain, always feeling that the Shen family might be facing its end.
Everyone watched as Mr. Shen pondered, and no one dared to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing his thinking.
To be honest, only Shen's father is really capable in the Shen family. Shen Yuqin is just like him in terms of scheming. The others are actually not that special.
Father Shen took a sip of tea, looked up at his sons, grandsons, and granddaughters, and said seriously, "Now you all know about your aunt's situation. If you don't want to ruin your future, you'd better keep a low profile and work hard. Don't think you can act arrogantly just because you have powerful connections. You all need to keep quiet about your aunt's situation. Revealing her story will not do you any good, especially Ruyi. Do you understand?"
Shen Ruyi was so frightened that she trembled and replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I know."
Father Shen continued, “If you don’t want anything to happen to your future, don’t offend Mu Jingshu. On the contrary, you should fawn over her. She is the only treasure of our Shen family, unless any of you have the ability to surpass the Mu family.”
