Madam Shen said unwillingly, "So, according to you, I can only endure it?"
"That's not it."
"You have an idea?!" Madam Shen immediately perked up.
Yes, it is, but why should I tell you?
"You..." Madam Shen stood up in disbelief: "What are you saying? I am your mother!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qiyin raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need to continue. She calmly said, "I have never denied this point. You don't need to emphasize it every time."
"You are my mother, but so what?"
"Did you ever care for me or love me, or protect me when my grandmother and father scolded me? You didn't, did you?"
"In that case, let's stick to the facts from now on and stop with this nonsense."
Instead of repeatedly mentioning that you are my mother, it would be much more practical to just give me the money.
Madam Shen was stunned, still unable to believe that these words had come from Shen Qiyin's mouth.
She is her mother!
She's her own mother!
How could she say such heartless things?
What frightened Madam Shen even more was that she didn't believe Shen Qiyin was just saying it out of spite; now, she truly meant what she said.
As a mother and an elder, she naturally didn't want to be controlled by her daughter.
But looking around the entire manor, apart from Shen Xiyin, she didn't know who else she could turn to for help.
After a moment of silence, Madam Shen finally asked indignantly, "Fine, from now on, I'll pretend I never had a daughter like you."
"Xianglan, go and fetch the silver!"
Chen Qiyin calmly added: "Fifty taels."
"You!" Madam Shen was furious but helpless, so she vented her anger on Xianglan: "Hurry up and go!"
Xianglan reluctantly replied with a "Yes," thinking to herself, "What, I can fly or something!"
When she returned with the silver, Madam Shen threw it in front of Shen Qiyin and said firmly, "Now you can talk, right?"
Shen Qiyin smiled and accepted the silver, saying, "If you want to deal with Jiang Wan, you'll have to bring her into your mansion first."
Madam Shen immediately wanted to snatch the silver back.
"What kind of terrible idea is this!" She didn't even look at it: "I came to you precisely because I didn't want her to enter the manor, and you, on the contrary, are helping that little bitch!"
"Then let me ask you, what do you gain by preventing her from entering the mansion?"
"Will Father settle down and love you dearly from now on?"
“No, he won’t.” Shen Qiyin said firmly, “The more you try to stop him, the more he wants to overcome all obstacles to be with her.”
"He might even think that your obstruction has caused Jiang Wan a great injustice, and he will do everything he can to make it up to her."
"And the means of making amends include, but are not limited to, spending money on her."
"Look, in the end you've lost both your money and your reputation."
If Madam Shen had some energy at the beginning, she completely deflated after Shen Qiyin said those words.
Indeed, all my efforts to stop it were in vain; I didn't solve any problems.
But--
"Does bringing them into the mansion mean these problems will disappear?"
“They exist, but not that many.” Shen Qiyin listed them one by one: “First of all, you brought her into the manor, right under your nose, so you can do whatever you want with her, right?”
"Secondly, after she entered this family, her grandmother saw all the expenses. Her father did show favoritism, but would her grandmother be willing to let her squander that money?"
"In this matter, you and your grandmother are in the same boat."
After a pause, Shen Qiyin looked at Madam Shen meaningfully and said, "Let me give Mother another reminder."
“Father goes out to see her every day, and the two of them are acting like husband and wife. If she gets pregnant again one day, I'm afraid Grandmother won't be on your side anymore. Wouldn't you be in a passive position then?”
"Why not take advantage of the present moment and bring them in as soon as possible? This would help to mitigate your current reputation for being jealous, and it would also prevent you from having any more squabbles with your father."
Madam Shen nodded secretly.
That's right!
As the legal wife and the one in charge of the household, it would be a piece of cake for her to deal with a concubine!
It's not impossible that they might secretly drug her to prevent her from having children.
Just thinking about it made Madam Shen excited.
That fifty taels was well spent!
Having made up her mind, Madam Shen did not delay and immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and went to Osmanthus Lane.
Shen Cang thought she was here to cause trouble again.
He even picked up a broom, only to be told that she had come to take Jiang Wan into the mansion.
This unexpected turn of events caught Shen Cang and Jiang Wan completely off guard.
His first reaction was: I bought the medicine for nothing!
My second thought was: Luckily I haven't eaten it yet, should I return it?
After all, it was fifty taels of silver, no small sum. So on his way back to the manor, Shen Cang really went to Guangrentang, hoping to use Shen Qiyin's influence to get Sanwa to return the medicine.
The third child replied, "Once the medicine is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged."
Shen Cangming declared, "I am Shen Qiyin's father..."
"Even if you're my father, it won't make a difference." Sanwa's tone was gentle, but his attitude was extremely firm: "This medicine has passed through your hands. Who knows if there will be any problems? Even if I return it to you, I wouldn't dare to sell it to anyone else. Otherwise, I would suffer a huge loss!"
"What could be wrong with this? You can check it yourself."
"Hey!" Sanwa waved his hand: "There are always people better than you. What if you are so skilled that I can't find out? I won't do something so presumptuous."
