Chapter 154 Hidden Dangers in the Mansion
After Shen Jingshu returned home, she was already restless and irritable. She felt both resentful and resentful towards the second house for completely drawing a line between them.
After hearing the news that Prince Xiao and Shen Shuyao were engaged, he stopped going out these days.
But she didn't go out, and Jiang was cursing in front of her again.
"If I had known you were only capable of this, I wouldn't have planned anything for you. In the end, it was all in vain, nothing gained..."
Shen Jingshu covered her ears: "Mom! Please stop talking."
"I won't tell you? How could I not tell you? I haven't had a good night's sleep in these years since I did that thing. Look how you repay me..." Jiang became more and more excited as she spoke.
In the end, the two ended with Shen Jingshu screaming uncontrollably.
The eldest master of the Shen family, Shen Changbai, stood outside the yard for a few moments before going in.
"Why are you back?"
Chen Changbai ignored her and sat down calmly before saying, "I have something to tell you! Let Jingshu go out first!"
Jiang and Shen Changbai only had one daughter. They had tried hard when they were young, but now they have completely given up.
Although Shen Changbai is a marginal figure in the Shen family and cannot be compared with the legitimate sons of Master Shen, at least he has a clean family and has not had a single concubine over the years.
Jiang waited until her daughter left before asking, "What exactly is it that makes you so cautious?"
Chen Changbai straightened his clothes before looking at his aging wife in front of him: "I have two sons who have been raised outside for many years. It's time to bring them home."
Shen Jingshu, who had just left, heard her mother's screams and cries coming from inside the house, but she didn't pay much attention.
But the next day, in the dim main hall of Jiang's house, Shen Changbai suddenly brought back a woman and two young men.
"Call me mother quickly!" the woman said to the two children beside her.
Jiang sat there with a blank expression on his face, forming a sharp contrast with the beautiful woman.
Everyone in the Shen family also heard about the eldest wife bringing her two concubines back home.
This was not a good thing, but Jiang had only one daughter, and the woman outside had given birth to two sons, so there was no reason to not let them into the house.
Since Shen Shuyao came back, the Shen family once again opened a family tree.
It is said that the concubine of the eldest wife's family was surnamed Cai, and everyone called her Concubine Cai.
The older of the two children is six years old and the younger one is four years old.
After seeing the child, Ruan came back and whispered to Shen Shuyao, "This man really can't be judged by appearances. Your uncle used to be such an honest man. Who would have thought he was hiding such a big secret?"
Chen Shuyao had just returned home and had never spoken to her uncle, so naturally she didn't know what to say.
But she had seen Jiang before, and she didn't like that woman. She always felt that she looked eerie, and even the yard seemed weird.
Similarly, she didn't have a good impression of Shen Jingshu, so naturally she couldn't muster any sympathy for her.
However, Chen Shuyao still couldn't help but advise Ruan: "This is all my uncle's family affairs, mother, please don't get involved, or you will be in trouble."
Ruan showed her the list of dowries she had prepared. As Chen Shuyao read it, she listened to her words: "You will be marrying into the Duke's Mansion in the spring of next year. You don't need to embroider your wedding dress. You can stay with me as the housekeeper for the time being!"
Chen Shuyao had no interest at first, but when she thought of Ruan's confused nature, she suddenly felt that she could take this opportunity to learn about the Shen Mansion, or leave some of her own people in Diejin Hall.
She is about to get married, but her brother is still staying in the mansion!
Chen Shuyao always felt uneasy about the mother and daughter in the first house.
Therefore, she said obediently: "Okay."
Two days later, while the Shen family was selecting maids, Xiao Mo sent the two maids to her Mingxiuyuan.
The two of them originally had names, one was called Perilla and the other was called Holly.
Aside from their slightly darker skin, Shiso and Dongqing looked like ordinary maids.
Chen Shuyao would spend the whole morning in Diejin Hall these days.
In addition to doing what Ruan asked her to do, she also took out all the accounts from previous years in the name of studying and looked through them one by one.
My brother said that since the accident, everyone around my mother has been purged.
She wandered around aimlessly for several days, not even knowing what she was looking for.
That day, when Chen Shuyao passed by Jiang's yard, she suddenly saw her fourth aunt Wu coming out.
She was accompanied by a maid, who walked out in a hurry, as if she was afraid of being discovered.
"Fourth Aunt!"
Hearing this voice, the other party was obviously startled, "You..."
"What's wrong with Fourth Aunt?" Shen Shuyao asked again.
Wu finally recovered and asked, "Is it my niece?"
Then he nodded at her and left without saying anything.
Chen Shuyao looked at the back of her fourth aunt, and just then she recalled the few times she had seen her since she returned home.
It seems that every time the other party sees me, he looks like he can't wait to leave.
Of course, it is even worse today.
Not only was he unwilling to talk more, he also looked flustered.
Could it be because he came out of Jiang’s yard?
Even her own mother knew not to have too much contact with Jiang, but Wu went anyway. Why?
Moreover, the memorial for Shen Jingshu's return home was also submitted by her fourth uncle.
So we are back to this question: why should the fourth wife help the first wife?
Chen Shuyao originally thought it was profitable, but now she felt that the aunt might have some leverage over Wu.
What is it?
Just as she was standing there frowning in thought, Zi Su came closer and said, "Someone in that room is looking at us!"
"Can you tell who it is?"
Zi Su said seriously, "The person standing behind the window doesn't look tall, so she must be an elderly woman."
“Got it, let’s go!”
When you get older, it should be Jiang.
Although Chen Shuyao had just returned home not long ago, whether it was her father's arrangement to rewrite the family tree, her mother no longer being driven by Chen Jingshu, or her current renewal of the marriage with Xiao Mo, it seemed that they all caught the attention of the mother and daughter of the first house.
From Jiang's perspective, he should hope that she will never come back!
In that way, Shen Jingshu would always occupy her identity.
After walking for a while, Shen Shuyao suddenly heard Shen Yunchu and Wu Shi whispering in the pavilion ahead, "Mother, did you go to my aunt's yard again? What did she say to you that made you so panicked?"
"Okay, I told you to ignore her. She's getting pissed off by Concubine Cai and her two younger cousins. Who would approach her at this moment? Only you've stayed with her. Look at your second or third aunt. Which one of them would come looking for trouble with me?"
"They are different from me. I..."
"Yun Chu, what are you two talking about?"
Chen Shuyao was just hearing the key point when she was interrupted by her fourth uncle's words. She didn't know whether he saw her or not.
