Li Zhenzhu's sudden move left not only the people targeted, such as Old Madam Shen, bewildered, but also Shen Qiyin, the person she was protecting, completely confused.
She stared blankly at the mess on the ground, blinking her eyes in disbelief.
One, two...
Old Madam Shen was covered in vegetable leaves and soup, which smeared all over her face. She immediately broke down and said, "This is outrageous! What are you trying to do?"
Li Zhenzhu replied indifferently, "To answer your question."
The former, busy picking up his belongings, didn't react immediately and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Didn't you ask her where she got such a bad temper?" Li Zhenzhu pointed to the overturned table and calmly said, "Now you know who she got it from, right?"
"You!" Old Madam Shen's face turned a deep shade of liver with anger: "You can't just flip the table! Look at all this perfectly good food, it's all wasted."
"What a waste! Didn't you just say this food isn't for human consumption?"
"I……"
"You even said that if you throw this food to beggars, they won't take it." Li Zhenzhu said, mimicking her imperious tone from before: "Since that's the case, I might as well throw it away for you first."
Finally, he added, "Just say 'thank you,' no need to kowtow."
Old Madam Shen clutched her chest, feeling as if her heart was about to leap out of her throat: "You're going to drive me crazy! You're going to drive me to my death!"
Shen Cang sat to the side, silently picking the vegetable leaves off his head and face. He opened his mouth to say something, but after being glared at fiercely by Li Zhenzhu, he immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to utter a sound.
He was scared.
After they've offended her, at least they can go back to their own rooms.
But he still has to sleep in the same bed with her.
Two days ago, he boldly went to Jiang Wan's room, but to his surprise, that shrew arrived right after him. She didn't say a word, but she didn't leave either. She just sat in the room, preventing him and Jiang Wan from doing anything they wanted.
Finally, having no other choice, he had to obediently go back to her room.
She told him, "To tell you the truth, I don't even want to sleep with someone as good-looking but useless as you."
“But I’m left alone in this empty room while you go off to have your fun. I feel unbalanced, so you have to share my unhappiness so I can feel a little better.”
Therefore, Shen Cang had to wash his feet, wipe his body, massage his shoulders and legs every night to take good care of this living ancestor before he could barely get a good night's sleep.
So when Li Zhenzhu gave him a warning look, he immediately shrank back like a quail.
Seeing his pathetic state, Madam Shen was both angry and frustrated.
Just then, Jiang Wan suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, Madam, please stop arguing. In the end, it's all my fault."
"If I had made the food more delicious, none of this would have happened."
"It's my incompetence."
“I am not worthy to stay in this house, sir…” she said, her voice choked with sobs, “please abandon me, sir.”
She couldn't stand this awful life for even a day longer.
But how could Shen Cang bear to let her go?
Without her, there's no one to do all the housework.
Besides, even though she's here, he can see her but not eat her, at least he can cleanse his eyes and not have to stare at that shrew all day long, making him feel like his stomach is always full.
So Shen Cang reached out to help the person up, and said in a seemingly "generous" manner, "How can you blame yourself for this?"
Even if it really is your fault, I can't just kick you out over such a small thing.
"Besides, if we leave this place, how will you, a woman with a child, survive?"
"I……"
“Yanlin is right.” Surprisingly, just moments ago, Madam Shen was being displeased with herself, but now she turned around and tried to persuade Jiang Wan to stay: “Women are not like men. Without a regalia, they may be bullied outside.”
Jiang Wan thought to herself, "Does this mean I won't be bullied here?"
Her son's hand is still red.
She was unlucky not to have made any money, but if she continued to delay, her life would be ruined. Therefore, she had to cut her losses as soon as possible.
Jiang Wan did not want to break ties with Shen Cang, so she made an excuse to say, "Lan Ge'er is growing bigger every year and is at the age of physical development. He eats a lot and will need money for school in the future. If he stays any longer, he will inevitably become a burden to you."
"So I thought it would be better to leave."
Upon hearing this, both Madam Shen and Shen Cang frowned.
Shen Cang bluntly stated, "With the family already in such a state, where would we find the spare money to send him to school!"
"I might as well have him learn medicine from me. When he grows up, he can be like Qiyin. If he can cure even one powerful or influential person, his future will be secure."
Jiang Wan's lips twitched slightly: "It's...it's not necessary..."
"Oh, just listen to me! Lan-ge'er is obviously not cut out for studying, why waste your time on him!"
"Yes! My son isn't cut out for studying, but your son is, alright?" Jiang Wan, having endured it all, finally couldn't hold back and retorted, "What a pity, even if your son had studied well, he would have lost his status as a scholar because of you, his father, and in the end, he even lost his life."
Although Jiang Wan's words sounded harsh at first glance, they were all true. However, they were not consistent with her usual personality, so Shen Cang was stunned at first.
