In the main building of the Shen family, all the servants were dismissed and left, leaving only the master.
Teacher Shen's face was as dark as ink. He looked at the man kneeling on the ground, grabbed the teacup and smashed it on Shen Jing'an's head.
"Have you two been together for a long time?!"
"No!" Blood gushed out of Shen Jing'an's forehead and dripped onto his eyelids. "Mom has checked everything. I was tricked."
"You piece of crap! I was schemed against in my own home!! If it weren't for Jin Yu's overall perspective, I would still have the nerve to go see the Marshal... If this matter is serious, I won't be able to keep my military career."
Mrs. Shen said weakly, "The Marshal wouldn't be so unreasonable, would he?"
"Hmph, let's be reasonable. When has the Marshal ever been reasonable about what happened to Jin Yu? Fortunately, Jin Yu was magnanimous. Not only did she keep the matter a secret, but she also comforted the guests and allowed the dinner to go on smoothly. Otherwise, if the incident had happened today, the Marshal and that reckless Lao Lu would have shot Jing An to death..."
Teacher Shen was really disappointed. "This marriage made us and the Marshal related. Many people envied us. But now, you... you have messed up everything."
He became angrier and angrier, so he picked up the teapot and threw it at her.
"Grandpa..." Mrs. Shen rushed forward and grabbed his hand, crying, "Jing'an was drunk and was tricked. Jinyu has a bad temper and slapped him. You smashed it, did you kill Jing'an? You only have this one son!"
Teacher Shen sighed helplessly and threw the teapot to the ground.
"Think carefully about how to give Jinyu an explanation."
Seeing that he had stopped beating her, Mrs. Shen pointed at Wang Manrou, who was kneeling on the ground in silence, with a look of disgust as if she was looking at something dirty.
"Leave her to Jinyu, you can kill her as you like...After these things are settled, Jingan will mend his relationship with Jinyu."
Wang Manrou had expected this. She kowtowed to everyone with a sad look on her face, crying, "The Shen family gave me shelter and allowed me to stay in the Shen Mansion. It was I who was foolish enough to be bewitched and used without knowing it, and I brought trouble to Master Shen."
"I know that I am of humble status and dare not have any improper thoughts, and I will never do anything that is detrimental to the Shen family. As long as Miss Su calms down and does not annoy Master Shen, I am willing to die today to atone for my crime."
Shen Jing'an looked at her in shock. This was the first woman who made his heart beat faster and also his first woman, but now she was willing to die in order to protect him.
Wang Manrou gave him a bitter smile and immediately lowered her head.
This was the first time the man turned his eyes towards her after the incident. Even though she was slapped and almost beaten to death by his wife, he didn't even have the courage to look at her.
Now that she was willing to confess her sin, he showed an affectionate look.
Man…ridiculous.
Mrs. Shen looked satisfied. Fortunately, she was self-aware.
There is always someone to take the blame for this matter.
"Madam...Grandpa"
The third concubine knelt beside Wang Manrou.
"Manrou is my niece, I am not biased towards her. She was wrong and her death is not a pity, but... this matter was deliberately arranged by someone. The love fragrance in the room and the doors and windows that cannot be opened are all for the purpose of convincing Manrou and Jing'an and alienating the Su and Shen families. Things have already happened and cannot be changed. Miss Su did not expose the fault on the spot and chose to suppress the matter. It must be because of her friendship with Jing'an and the relationship between the Su and Shen families. She definitely did not want to push Manrou out of the Shen family. Even if Manrou was beaten to death, Miss Su might not be able to calm down."
Mr. Shen seemed to be thinking about something. His third wife was smart and calculating. "Go on."
The third concubine was pregnant and never mentioned helping Wang Manrou to exonerate herself. She just tried to make things clear.
"It's not easy to investigate this matter. In addition to our family, there are also people from Jinfeng Tower in the mansion today. Once we investigate thoroughly, the Marshal will not be able to hide it. With his temper, he will definitely not let it go lightly. The consequences are unpredictable... Even if we find out, the people who plotted it are not afraid of us exposing it. It will always be the Shen family who will be embarrassed."
She glanced at Shen Jing'an and said, "Miss Su is already married to Jing'an, and she is the young mistress of the Shen family. Even if she is a little alienated from Jing'an at this moment, Jing'an just needs to spend more time and coax her, and they will reconcile in the long run."
"The most important thing now is to make Miss Su willing to stay and preserve this marriage, rather than breaking off the marriage in anger."
Mrs. Shen hated the third concubine the most. She was good at sweet talk and was the favorite of the old man.
"Let her do whatever she wants with Man Rou, what else does she want... Can she ask Jing An to kneel down and beg for mercy? She is now the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and she still wants to climb over Jing An's head?"
The third concubine shook her head hurriedly, "How dare I think so? Jing'an is the young master of our Shen family and the husband of Miss Su. Even if Miss Su is of noble status, she should not humiliate Jing'an... I just have an idea. What to do is still up to the master and the mistress."
Teacher Shen motioned for her to continue.
The third concubine said, "Although Miss Su is the daughter of the marshal, she has lived in her maternal grandparents' home since she was a child and has many businesses. I think that in addition to the young master's kindness, we should also think of ways to compensate Miss Su from the perspective of benefits."
"My master is in charge of military and national affairs in the army, so he doesn't know the trivial matters that we women deal with in the house. Miss Su is a new daughter-in-law. Although she has her own small building, she cannot make decisions in the Shen Mansion... But if we let Miss Su be the housekeeper..."
"What!!!" Mrs. Shen jumped up from the sofa, "What's your idea! Let her be the housekeeper? A new daughter-in-law comes and takes power from her mother-in-law and steps on my head."
The third concubine hesitated and said, "We all know how powerful the housekeeper is. Miss Su naturally understands the sincerity of the Shen family. As long as she accepts the housekeeper's power, she will have to stay, which means that the marriage will be saved. She won't make trouble for a while, and this matter will be over... If she doesn't even have the housekeeper's power, I'm afraid the marriage will not be saved..."
"No, no, absolutely not...I will never give her the key to the warehouse," Mrs. Shen firmly disagreed.
The third concubine reminded, "Miss Su has a lot of dowry and private property, the entire Shen family can't compare to her... She is in charge of the household inside and outside, which is a big expense. Even if she has business talent, she may not be able to do it well as a housekeeper, not to mention that Madam is in charge of the household for a long time. All the managers are your confidants, and she is her mother-in-law, so it is not easy to control her. At worst, you can find her fault later and take back the housekeeper's power. It's all a matter of Madam's words."
Mrs. Shen also had a plan in mind.
But she is just a little girl who was raised by others. She might be too young to be the head of the family. Maybe she will come up with a lot of good things.
In addition to the housekeeper Quan, Mrs. Shen still handed Wang Manrou over to Su Jinyu to deal with so that she could vent her anger.
We discussed it for most of the night before we dispersed.
