"Alas, as the Taoist priest said, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person."
"How could Miss Shen, who is as beautiful as a fairy, be born into such a family and have such a mother?"
...
Shen Xiyin had already turned and left.
Just as the two vermilion doors were about to close, Madam Shen took a step forward and squeezed through the crack in the door.
Right now, she only has two paths before her.
One student.
One die.
No matter how aggrieved she felt, she had no choice but to obediently go back.
Little did they know, this was also a dead end!
Shen Qiyin took her back to Ningxiang Courtyard, only to find that the servants had emptied the room, leaving only a bare, hard bed.
Madam Shen was completely stunned: "This is..."
"Father said that things are not the same in the family as before, so we will not support idlers. If Mother wants to survive, she should work hard, because the more she works, the more she will earn. Otherwise, she will go hungry."
Madam Shen's eyes widened like copper bells.
She could hardly believe what she was hearing.
Thanks to her, Shen Qiyin came up with this brilliant idea on the spur of the moment.
What's the point of kicking her out of the mansion? If she leaves, she might just cause trouble at Guangrentang. It's better to keep her here so she can see every day how her good husband dotes on other women.
At this moment, a nanny who usually served Jiang Wan called over two old women, who put chains on Madam Shen's feet and said, "Master just said that Madam Sun has gone mad. He is afraid that she will wander around the mansion and offend the concubines. He ordered that she be locked in Ningxiang Courtyard. Every day, clothes from all the courtyards should be collected and given to her to wash. No one is allowed to let her out."
Even if Madam Shen wasn't originally insane, she would probably go mad after hearing these words.
"That bitch Jiang Wan, it must have been her who instigated this!"
"Chen Cang, you're not human..."
"Shen Qiyin! You stood by and watched your own mother being humiliated like this. You are unworthy of being a daughter. You will surely be punished in the future!"
She glared fiercely at Shen Qiyin, just like before. In the end, the one she resented the most was still her.
Shen Qiyin simply smiled.
Is it retribution?
She already got it; otherwise, how could she have ended up with a mother like that?
Just like the last time Madam Shen was confined to her quarters, the courtyard gate slowly closed between her and her daughter. The difference this time was that Shen Qiyin never turned around to leave.
She watched intently as the insane Madam Shen was locked behind the wooden door, screaming in despair.
That day, she stood in front of Ningxiang Courtyard for a long time.
Until someone from the palace arrived!
The eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree said that His Majesty urgently summoned her to the palace!
