15 Why don't you persuade the Marquis to divorce?
Alone and helpless?
That's better than suffering nothing at all.
It will take several more decades until she is old.
If she continues to be exploited by this group of people, she may only have a few months left. Even a fool would know what to choose.
What's more, she is not alone. She has a daughter and a son-in-law. When she finds them, will she still worry about having no one to take care of her in her old age?
Besides, her daughter is a kind and loyal woman. She did not forget to redress her husband's grievances even after his death, and her son-in-law is a top scholar. How bad can such people be?
Unlike Gu Haoxuan, a cruel and ungrateful person.
Therefore, Shen just ignored what the old lady said.
Shen Jingxiang looked at her and sneered, “Old Madam, do you think you are fine now? If I hadn’t served you wholeheartedly and given you money to spend, do you think you would still be able to stand here and talk to me now?”
The old lady was furious. Shen actually spoke to her like that. You have to know that she is Shen's mother-in-law and her elder. How dare she do that?
"Ms. Shen, I think you are rebelling. Someone come and punish me according to the family rules."
Xiao Tao was anxious. She didn't expect that the old lady was so tough. She wanted to use the family rules on the lady directly. The lady was delicate and precious, so how could she withstand this family rule?
She immediately stood in front of Shen and said, "Madam, my wife didn't mean it. If you want to punish me, then punish me."
The old lady glared at Xiao Tao, she was worthy of being Shen's maid, she was so disrespectful and even talked back to her, she must be tired of living.
"Someone, come and fight me two at a time."
Shen was very grateful to Xiaotao for her loyalty to her master, but she was also angry at the old lady for bullying others by abusing her power.
It was outrageous that someone dared to touch her in front of her.
Shen Jingxiang clapped her hands directly, and four guards immediately appeared from her yard and blocked Shen and Xiaotao directly.
The old lady pointed at the guards angrily.
"Do you know that this is Hou Mansion and who is in charge? You are so protective of Shen, aren't you rebelling? Hurry up and arrest Shen, or I'll sell you all out."
The old lady immediately showed her charisma, which frightened everyone present.
The old lady was very satisfied with the effect. She wanted to see whether these guards would continue to protect Shen.
Gu Youting on the side couldn't help but feel proud.
"Shen, if you can kneel down and kowtow twice, apologize to us, and then open the private vault, we can forgive you this time, and you can suffer less."
Ana Shen directly pouted.
Then Gu Youting suddenly became angry.
“Achen Chen, don’t be ungrateful. Don’t you see what the situation is now? The old lady is the mistress who is truly in charge of the Hou Mansion. Even if you have been in charge of the Hou Mansion for many years, as long as the old lady gives an order, those servants dare not disobey, including the four guards around you!”
Shen Jingxiang didn't expect that Gu Youting was so stupid, thinking that he could control her?
Her people would only obey her orders and would never listen to the old lady.
Did this old lady think that she could control her just because she had the indentures of the entire mansion?
What a pity, she had been prepared. The guards around her were hired by her at a high price, but there was no so-called indenture.
Seeing that Shen didn't say anything, Gu Youting thought that Shen was afraid, and he felt even more proud.
Let’s see if Shen can still be so arrogant this time.
"Quick, capture this bitch for me, and I will reward you handsomely."
Shen Jingxiang gave the four guards a look, and they moved immediately.
Gu Youting smiled triumphantly, and soon he could see how Shen knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
These days, because of this Shen, the Hou Mansion was in a mess, and even Haoxuan's future was almost ruined. Now the reputation he had worked so hard to accumulate was also ruined because of this Shen.
He must catch this Shen and torture her severely.
Soon the four guards surrounded Gu Youting.
Gu Youting immediately spoke anxiously, "What are you doing? I asked you to arrest Shen, why are you surrounding me?"
The four guards didn't listen to Gu Youting at all and arrested the man directly.
The old lady on the side was also anxious.
"The Marquis is talking to you, can't you hear me? The Marquis asked you to arrest Shen, why did you arrest the Marquis?"
The four guards didn't listen to the old lady and the marquis at all, and now they are extremely anxious.
But Shen Jingxiang stood up at this time.
"You can't order my people around. Throw this Gu Youting out. From now on, dogs and Gu Youting are not allowed to enter. As for our old lady..."
Shen Jingxiang walked closer to the old lady, and the old lady immediately became a little scared.
I didn't expect these guards to only listen to Shen Jingxiang's words. It must be this bitch who did it.
What a nuisance. I should have gotten rid of him sooner after I married him.
How come this happened now?
Although the old lady regretted it, she was still more afraid at the moment.
“Ashe Chen, don’t come over here…”
Shen Jingxiang walked up to the old lady, stretched out her hand to help her up, and took her pulse.
This old lady is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Her body has long been empty of energy and blood. The reason she is still safe and sound is simply because she relies on those rare treasures to sustain herself.
And these natural treasures could not be afforded by the Hou Mansion, so naturally only Shen Jingxiang could pay for them herself.
Damn it, she has been married into the Marquis' Mansion for eighteen years, and has been feeding the old lady with rare treasures for eighteen years, how much silver must that be worth!
It hurts to think about it now.
Of course, the original owner had done such stupid things, but she would not continue to be stupid.
Shen Jingxiang grabbed the old lady’s wrist, then pushed her back hard, directly onto Gu Youting.
Gu Youting took the opportunity to support the old lady.
The old lady was scared to death and she immediately complained to Gu Youting.
"My Lord, what kind of wife did you marry? She actually attacked me, your mother-in-law. If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have died."
Shen Jingxiang sneered, “Old Madam, please stop crying. No one likes to see you crying so ugly at your age.”
The old lady was so angry that she covered her chest, "Shen, you attempted murder but failed, and now you still want to quibble, how can there be such a vicious woman like you?"
Shen Jingxiang hummed, "Old Madam, what you said is very right. I also think I am quite vicious. Why don't you persuade your eldest son to divorce me."
