Shen Cheng and his wife were about to get up and bow when Shen Danru stopped them, saying, "Father and Mother, you are the elders. Just treat her the same way you treat me."
"This, this won't do."
Jiang Jingxian: "Uncle Chen, Auntie, you are Sister Ru's parents and my elders. Just treat me like your own child."
The Shen couple had never even met the county magistrate before, and suddenly seeing someone of such high status made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
Not knowing whether to sit or stand, Zhou made an excuse to leave and go to the kitchen.
Shen Cheng also used the excuse of going out to work.
Shen Danru: "You scared my parents to death."
Jiang Jingxian looked aggrieved: "I'm not a bad person, why are they afraid of me?"
Shen Danru smiled, saying that this was the drawback of the deeply ingrained class system in ancient times. Although the social classes were scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, the word "poor" still applied. Poor people, who could not even fill their stomachs from childhood, would also consider themselves to be the lowest class.
Jiang Jingxian settled down at the Shen family's house, while the Lan family was frantically searching for the three of them.
They searched almost the entire town of Sifang, but couldn't find the three of them.
Lan Bing'er smashed things all over the floor; she had never been so humiliated in her entire life.
"Little sister, are you sure that person's surname is Song?"
As soon as Lan Shao entered the room, he saw the scattered porcelain shards on the floor and frowned slightly.
"Brother, I heard it clearly. A woman called her Sister Song. Brother, you must avenge me."
"Revenge? I've already found out. You hit her first. The girl just couldn't stand that she was blocking your carriage, and you wanted to hit her? What right do you have to talk about revenge?"
Lan Bing'er was furious: "How can you be so biased towards outsiders? Are you even my older brother? I'm going to tell Father and Mother right now."
"Go, go! You've ruined your reputation, let's see how you still have the face to marry into the Jiang family?"
Lan Shao frowned, and there was a hint of impatience in his voice.
His younger sister was a complete waste. From a young age, they taught her that if she wanted to marry into the Jiang family, she had to be well-educated, cultivated her character, and have the demeanor of a noble lady. But her parents spoiled her so much that she wouldn't even be accepted as a daughter-in-law by any prestigious family in Sifang Town, let alone marry into the Duke's mansion.
"Big brother..."
Lan Bing'er was struck dumb by Jiang Shao's words, and her voice became much softer.
"Don't call me. Let me tell you, if you continue to be so willful, I will pick someone from the family and send them to the Jiang family. As for you, give up on that idea."
After saying that, Lan Shao turned and left.
He was extremely disappointed in his younger sister, thinking she was a good-for-nothing who had ruined his plans.
Lan Bing'er's mind went blank. She had been in love with Jiang Shuyou since childhood, and now that she heard she couldn't marry into the Jiang family, she blamed everything on Shen Danru.
"It's all that bitch's fault. Don't let me ever run into you again, or I'll slice you to pieces."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Jingxian had been staying at the Jiang family home for two days. She changed into Chen Danru's clothes, which were a little long, but still wearable.
While cooking, she even helped with the fire. When Zhou offered to wash her clothes, she shook her head and started washing them herself, which made Shen Danru think highly of her.
When has the young lady of the Duke's mansion ever done such a thing?
Even when it comes to combing her hair and washing her face, she is served by a large group of maids and servants.
At this moment, Jiang Jingxian was really learning with great skill.
Smash it! Smash it for me!
As noon approached, everyone who worked at the Shen family's house went home for lunch, leaving only the Shen family members at home. Two women directed several people to smash up the Shen family's house.
But as soon as I entered the Shen family's house, the whole courtyard was filled with delicious aromas. I glanced at the kitchen out of the corner of my eye and saw that the whole house was full of meat.
They were secretly pleased; this trip had been worthwhile. They would take all the meat with them when they left. Shen Cheng and Zhou Shi had done so many wrong things; they probably wouldn't dare to stop them.
Jiang Jingxian was washing clothes in the courtyard when she saw people causing trouble. She shouted, "How dare you! Who are you people?"
The two women, thinking Jiang Jingxian was Shen Danru, ordered the men who had come with them: "It's this jinx. Why doesn't she die out there? She comes back to bring trouble to people. Hold her down. I'm going to tear her apart today."
Jiang Jingxian was so frightened by the sight of people rushing towards her that she retreated repeatedly.
"What's wrong? Scared? I thought you were so powerful. You little bitch, you even dared to hit your grandma. If God doesn't strike you dead today, I'll take care of you on God's behalf."
Jiang Jingxian wanted to go back to the house, but it was too late. She could only shout, "Sister Ru, Sister Ru!"
Hearing the commotion, the Shen family members all ran out. Qingtan stopped them and questioned, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Shen Gui and Shen Fang were momentarily stunned. Three unfamiliar girls suddenly appeared, each more beautiful than the last, and they couldn't tell which one was Shen Danru for a while.
At this moment, Zhou also came out of the house. When she saw the visitors, she hurried over to greet them: "Eldest sister, second sister, what brings you here? Come in and have some tea."
Shen Gui and Shen Fang snorted coldly and led everyone into the house, plopping down in the main seats. Judging by their demeanor, anyone who didn't know better would think they were the owners of the house.
Zhou hurriedly poured water, but just as she brought it over, she heard Shen Gui ask, "Who is Shen Danru?"
Shen Danru glanced at her and knew in her heart that these two women must be Chen's daughters.
"What brings you to my house?"
Shen Gui glared at her, assuming this little bitch was the daughter Shen Cheng had just recognized, and angrily said:
“You little slut, you made someone kill your own grandmother! Are you even human? And you, Shen Yuyan, get over here, you little beast! Your parents didn’t teach you anything, so your aunt will teach you on their behalf.”
