Chapter 207 I think I'm possessed
The Marquis' Mansion has been completely occupied by the Shen family. Marquis Qingyuan doesn't want to be asked for money by a bunch of people, so he goes to live with a vixen outside.
Chunxi and Shen Qingchi did not see Marquis Qingyuan when they came back, but the other members of the Shen family all gathered in the main courtyard waiting for Chunxi.
Ever since Shen Qingchi was promoted to the position of legitimate wife, the Shen family's attitude towards him has completely changed. When they heard about the drunken fight between Chunxi and the princess, they started complaining about it with dissatisfaction as soon as they met.
"Our family is now related by marriage to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. How could you join the princess in beating up Chi'er and her fifth aunt? How bad would that be for the relationship between our two families?"
"That's right. We all saw it last time. Chi'er's Fifth Aunt is beautiful and gentle. She takes good care of Chi'er. It's so unfortunate that she got beaten up like that out of the blue. You should take advantage of your father's birthday to apologize to her."
The two uncles of the Shen family sang the same tune and directly decided to let Chunxi apologize to Yun Wantang.
Chunxi didn't respond and said calmly, "My husband has been ordered to go to Qu County. What do my second and third brothers think about our father's birthday party?"
Everyone's attention was indeed diverted. Second Uncle said with a stern face, "They both focus on their studies. How could they know how to organize this birthday banquet? Naturally, you, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, should be fully responsible for organizing it."
Uncle San followed up, "Although we won't be having a grand celebration this time, we'll still be inviting the people from the Grand Tutor's Mansion to dinner. The dishes must be plentiful and appropriate. We can't treat our in-laws poorly and make a fool of ourselves, bringing shame to Chi'er."
Fourth Uncle added, "If you don't have time to take care of all this, you can bring the money back and we'll do it for you. We've been in Hanjing for so many years, we have some connections, and we have more experience than you do. We can definitely buy things cheaper than you can just find someone randomly."
Shen Jinhua was worried that she wouldn't get any benefits, so she said anxiously, "Everyone in our mansion needs to buy two new sets of clothes. We used to go to the Taifu Mansion for banquets and it was all paid for by others. Wearing those clothes this time would be too shabby. Your nephews and nieces can also show off their faces this time. Buy them some more gold and jade. When they become successful in the future, they won't forget you, their sister-in-law."
Although the Shen family had no money, they made their demands with confidence, and they wanted to take this opportunity to suck the blood of Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan dry to make a fortune.
Chunxi wasn't angry, and continued, "As for my second and third brothers, we still need to discuss this matter with them. My husband was the only one who contributed to my mother's case. I can't expect my father to have only my husband as his filial son in the future, can I?"
"What's the point of calling them here? You know the situation at home."
Shen Jinhua rolled her eyes. Wu coughed lightly and said, "The second and third brothers haven't passed the imperial examinations yet, so they don't have any salaries to receive. As the eldest brothers, it's only right that you, as the eldest brothers, take on more responsibility for this birthday banquet."
Chunxi nodded in agreement: "You don't have to pay the money, but you have to be here."
No one could refute this, and Wu quickly sent someone to invite Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingyu.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Shen Qingyue had not changed much, while Shen Qingyu became more depressed.
Hearing that Chunxi was willing to organize the birthday banquet, Shen Qingyue said apologetically: "My third brother and I really can't help at the moment, so I'll trouble you, sister-in-law, to take care of this matter."
Shen Qingyu said angrily, "If you want to do it, then do it. If you don't want to do it, forget it. There's no need to call us over to show off how much money you have. I feel sick when I see your face, a poor guy who suddenly becomes rich."
After Shen Qingyu finished speaking, he left everyone behind and walked away.
Shen Qingyue couldn't do anything to Shen Qingyu, so he could only look at Chunxi helplessly: "Please forgive me, sister-in-law. Since mother left, my third brother has been very unfriendly to everyone."
Not them.
Chunxi made a judgment in his heart.
Although Shen Qingyue is a bit hypocritical, he still wants to prove himself by passing the imperial examination. He will not kidnap her mother and Zhenger to bring stain on himself.
Shen Qingyu speaks without thinking, and everything is written on his face. If her mother and Zheng'er were in Shen Qingyu's hands, who knows how arrogant he would be.
The other members of the Shen family only wanted money, and now that they had the Qingyuan Marquis' birthday party as an excuse, there was no need for them to do anything unnecessary.
And Wei Lingze would never do it himself if he wanted to deal with her.
Who else could it be?
Chunxi pursed her lips and thought. Everyone in the Shen family was afraid that she would quit because of Shen Qingyu's words, so they all urged her anxiously.
Shen Qingchi's voice came into his ears again: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Shen Qingchi's eyes were clear and full of concern.
Chunxi raised his hand and rubbed his temples, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious, I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my head."
Shen Jinhua rolled her eyes. "Ah Xi, if you look like this, you could tire an ox to death if you went to plow the fields. Stop pretending to be weak."
The same thought was on everyone else's face, and Chunxi suddenly had an idea.
She took the opportunity to sit down on the chair closest to her: "Aunt, you really misunderstood me. This morning when Sister Chier came to see me, she said I looked unwell. I really wasn't pretending."
Everyone immediately looked at Shen Qingchi with dissatisfaction.
How bad must his eyes be to be able to say that Cao Chunxi's face is not good?
Shen Qingchi didn't expect Chunxi to bring up what she said that morning. She forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I just said that casually at the time. I didn't mean it seriously. Don't take it to heart."
Chunxi shook her head: "Sister, you wouldn't say something like that for no reason. Could it be that my forehead was dark this morning and I'm going to have a bloody disaster soon? What if I disrupt Father's birthday party because of me?"
Everyone: “…”
Listen to what you're saying! If you don't want to pay, just say so. Why are you talking nonsense about bloody disasters?
Shen Jinhua suppressed her anger and tried to comfort him, but Chunxi insisted that Shen Qingchi must have seen something. She felt weak all over as if possessed by an evil spirit, and she really had no energy to care about other things.
Shen Jinhua had no choice but to ask Shen Qingchi, "Why did you say your sister-in-law looked unhappy?"
Shen Qingchi clenched the silk handkerchief tightly.
Why did she say that? Of course, it was because she knew that something happened in Chunxi's family, and she hoped that Chunxi would be unable to sleep or eat and look haggard, so she asked on purpose.
How could she have imagined that Chunxi would keep harping on this sentence?
After a long silence, Shen Qingchi finally found an excuse: "The light in the room was a little dim at the time, I saw it wrong, so I said the wrong thing. I apologize to my sister-in-law."
Chunxi did not accept the apology. She covered her chest and cried out in pain.
"My head is starting to hurt. I'm afraid I've been possessed by an evil spirit. My sister is pregnant now, and she might be able to see dirty things that she can't normally see. For the sake of the baby, my sister should quickly find a senior monk to check it out."
Shen Qingchi: "..."
Where is the dirty stuff? What tricks is Cao Chunxi playing?
