19 Bet
But Shen Jingxiang never treated them as slaves, and treated them very well, giving them a lot of silver.
Who does this old lady really think she is?
They were just hired by the Shen family, but they were not slaves sold to the Shen family. This old lady spoke so arrogantly, did she really think that the Hou Mansion could cover the sky with one hand?
The Hou Mansion has long been in decline over the years. If it weren't for the Shen family's support, the Hou Mansion would be nothing.
This old lady actually brought so many people here to cause trouble. She wants to kill the Shen family. They can't let them succeed.
"You can't go in while we're here."
The old lady gave the order directly, "Catch these few people, and the rest of you follow me to catch people."
The guards looked at each other, struggled a few times and then gave up.
The old lady looked at them with pride, thinking they were such powerful characters. But they were just like that. A few servants caught them.
But at this moment, the old lady didn't want to waste time on these guards. It would be better to catch the adulterer first to prevent him from running away.
After the old lady and her people left, the four guards looked at each other.
"Do we need to protect the lady?"
Some people shook their heads and decided to just follow the madam's arrangements.
The old lady broke into Shen Jingxiang’s room directly, and happened to see Shen Jingxiang lying on the bed, while a man was massaging Shen.
The old lady immediately ordered, "Catch the man for me."
The man was immediately caught, and then Ana Shen got up from the bed with an angry look on her face.
"Madam, what do you mean?"
The old lady said angrily, "Ms. Shen, there are witnesses and evidences. What else can you say? How dare you secretly meet a man from outside the mansion? Where do you put the mansion, where do you put the Marquis, where do you put me?"
When Chen Jingxiang heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. "The old lady said that I was meeting a stranger? Then why don't you tell me where the stranger is?"
The old lady immediately stepped forward and pulled the man over, then asked, "What do you think this is?"
Ana Shen smiled and said, “Why doesn’t the old lady open her eyes and see clearly who this person is?”
Shen Jingxiang directly untied the man's hairband, revealing his beautiful long hair.
The old lady had not seen the man's face clearly before, and now she began to look at him, she was stunned.
Isn’t this a man? How did he become Xiaotao?
She was so anxious just now that she didn't see clearly the identity of this person. Was it Xiaotao, the maidservant beside Shen?
She immediately realized something was wrong. Why was Xiao Tao wearing men's clothes?
Are you hiding something?
"Ms. Shen, do you think you can fool me by having Xiaotao dress up like this? You must have hidden that man."
Shen remained calm.
"Oh? You said I hid the man, so why don't you go and search for him? What if you can't find him?"
Impossible, this person must be hiding in Shen's room, her maid would definitely not be wrong.
"So what do you want?"
What Shen wants is very simple.
"I want to divorce Gu Youting."
The old lady hesitated.
This divorce is different from divorce.
If they divorce, all of Shen's dowry must be taken away.
But if he divorced his wife, then Shen's dowry would belong to the Marquis's Mansion, so these are two different concepts.
She absolutely could not let Shen get divorced. Even if she wanted to get divorced, she could only divorce her.
But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the outsider is caught, it will be solid evidence that Shen is having an affair with another man, and then Shen will have to be expelled from the mansion.
Then all of Shen's dowry would belong to her.
Her maid has already seen Shen having a secret meeting with a man outside her family, which is absolutely correct. Now Shen is deliberately deceiving her, thinking that she doesn't dare to gamble?
Ridiculous, how could she be deceived by Shen?
"Okay, I agree to bet with you. If you lose, you will give me the key to the private vault and let me take over the entire mansion."
Shen has been in charge of the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years. It is most appropriate for her to manage the Mansion, and she can also save a lot of trouble.
Secondly, now that Shen's private treasury had fallen into her hands, it would become the property of the Marquisate, and she would no longer have to look at Shen's opinion.
When she thought of this, she felt that the bet was a good deal.
And the Shen family is bound to lose.
Shen Jingxiang kept smiling calmly, but Xiao Tao on the side was a little worried.
"lady……"
Seeing this, the old lady became even more certain that the foreign man was hiding in this yard.
"Then please go search, old lady!"
Shen sat directly on a chair beside her and told Xiaotao beside her to continue massaging her shoulders.
The old lady stared at Shen, trying to see some guilt on her part, but she couldn't see any. Instead, Xiao Tao beside Shen seemed a little abnormal.
The old lady found it strange, but after thinking about it, there was only one possibility, that is, Shen was really good at acting.
Soon, the servants searched the East Garden inside and out.
The old lady asked anxiously, "How is it, have you found the person?"
Everyone shook their heads, having no clues at all.
In the East Garden, apart from a few maids, there were four guards guarding outside. As for any outsiders, there were no such people.
The old lady didn't believe it. This person must be hiding here.
But she can't lose, there is a bet between her and Shen.
"Search, keep searching. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find the person for me."
Otherwise, she would definitely lose.
Let Gu Youting divorce Shen?
What's left of the mansion?
So this is absolutely not allowed.
The servants had no choice but to continue searching, but this time they were more vigilant and searched every corner of the East Garden.
The result was still fruitless.
Ana Shen smiled and looked at the old lady, “Old lady, do you want to look for it again? I have plenty of time, so I can wait slowly.”
Shen was so calm, it seemed that there was no outsider man here at all, and she was being tricked.
"Shen, you plotted against me."
Ana Shen didn’t want to pretend at all.
"So what? If you want to plot against me, can't I strike first? Old lady, you are old, so you should do less of these plots. After all, your brain is not as active as that of young people."
The old lady covered her chest with her hands and pointed at Shen angrily.
"You are such a good man, Shen, you actually plotted against me like this, I will never let it go."
It just so happens that she won’t give up.
"Then let's wait and see. By the way, old lady, remember to fulfill your promise. I will go to the Marquis to discuss the divorce tomorrow."
