Chapter 262 My Wife Always Knows How to Do Things
Chunxi is just a stinky stone that is unwilling to listen to anything.
Zhao had no way to deal with her, so she could only ask the servants to bring Wu and Shen Jinhua over first.
"Chi'er, my dear granddaughter, you have suffered so much!"
Before she even entered the room, Wu started howling, while Shen Jinhua cursed beside her, "I've long said this Li Jixian is no good. He first took you as his concubine, and now he's taking advantage of your pregnancy to have affairs with other women. If he gets seduced by a vixen in the future, who knows what he'll do."
Zhao always felt that Shen Qingchi was not worthy of her son, and looked down on the Shen family. When she heard Shen Jinhua scolding her son like that, her face turned a little ugly.
"Chi'er and my son are in love with each other. When did my son cheat on her body? My dear sister-in-law, please speak politely."
Knowing that Chunxi had Zhao's support, Shen Jinhua didn't cling to her. She curled her lips and said, "They can have an affair with another girl without a matchmaker just because they are in love. The family education in the Taifu Mansion is really good."
"What did you say?"
Zhao raised her eyebrows. The Shen family was just a bunch of peasants. How dare they talk to her about family education?
Zhao's disdainful expression irritated Shen Jinhua. She scratched her ears and said sarcastically, "I say, even Zhang Daniu, the butcher in our village, knows that he can only sleep with a girl after they've been married. Could it be that your wife doesn't even know that?"
“…”
Zhao's expression became increasingly ugly, and Shen Qingchi quickly spoke up: "Auntie, my husband and mother-in-law treat me very well, don't talk about him like that."
Shen Jinhua seemed to be speaking for her, but when the matter of unmediated adultery was brought up, Shen Qingchi's face also looked unhappy.
Chunxi asked the Shen family to come not to help her get justice, but to make a big fuss and sow discord between her and her in-laws.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingchi hated Chunxi even more in his heart.
But before she could get angry with Chunxi, Shen Jinhua started yelling, "You're still pregnant, and your husband is carrying you out on other women and even hitting you, and you're still defending him? Did a donkey kick your head?"
Wu also scolded with a stern face: "After all, your surname is Chen, and you are the legitimate daughter of my Qingyuan Marquis Mansion. If you are willing to let others look down on you, you are bringing shame to the Marquis Mansion."
“…”
Wu and Shen Jinhua spoke in a very convincing manner, but Shen Qingchi did not feel any warmth, only hypocrisy.
She was previously imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and the Shen family ignored her. In the end, it was Aunt Five who found a way to get the Taifu Mansion to pay to redeem her.
She has always been just a tool to gain benefits, and Aunt Wu is her only relative.
Even if Li Jixian treated her badly and really had affairs with other women outside, as long as she gave birth to a son, with Aunt Wu around, the vixen outside would not be able to get to her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingchi retorted with a cold face: "I have to take care of the baby now and cannot serve my husband. It is natural for my husband to go out and have some fun. Besides, my husband didn't hit me today. It was my sister-in-law who suddenly came to sow discord and caused me to lose my baby."
Shen Qingchi defended Li Jixian and blamed all the mistakes on Chunxi.
Zhao sneered at the words: "The relationship between the young couple is stable, and there is nothing wrong. But Madam Shen, after hearing some groundless rumors, dragged the whole family here to accuse her. I don't know what she is thinking."
"Of course I mean well," Chunxi said calmly, "My sister is kind and generous, and considerate. The Taifu Mansion is not only ungrateful, but also allows my brother-in-law to act recklessly. My sister is willing to compromise, but we in the Marquisate cannot lose face."
This was said as if the Taifu Mansion was shameless.
Zhao's chest was heaving with anger, and she couldn't help but yell, "Cao Chunxi, what on earth do you want to do?"
"It's very simple. Let my brother-in-law pour tea, admit his fault, and write a letter of guarantee that he will no longer have affairs with other women. My sister is weak, and I am worried about her. I have to let her family stay in the Taifu Mansion to take care of her."
Chunxi made the request confidently. Before Zhao could speak, Shen Qingchi said hurriedly, "I have someone to take care of me. I don't need your fake kindness."
Shen Qingchi first went back to the Marquis' Mansion and told them about Chunxi's pregnancy. She also asked Shen Jinhua to find someone to make things difficult for Chunxi. She knew better than anyone that Chunxi was not looking for someone to take care of her, but to take revenge on her, so that she could also taste the feeling of competing for favor while pregnant.
As soon as Shen Qingchi finished speaking, Shen Jinhua spoke up in disapproval: "Look at how haggard you are, yet you're still being stubborn. When other young ladies are pregnant, they have at least four or five people around to take care of them, but you only have one maid in your room. It's clear that this Taifu Mansion doesn't take you and your little grandson seriously."
Shen Jinhua deliberately emphasized the three words "Little Jinsun" to increase Shen Qingchi's value.
Zhao almost laughed out loud when she heard this: "Before she was arrested and taken to the Dali Temple, did you, her family, ever care about her once? If we didn't take her and the child in her belly seriously, could we have paid 10,000 taels to redeem her?"
Shen Jinhua remained calm and composed as she defended herself, "We were also in prison at the time, and if Chi'er hadn't harbored evil thoughts about harming her sister-in-law, we wouldn't have been implicated. Ultimately, it's because you sent too few people to serve Chi'er, which led her to abandon her life and indulge in unrealistic thoughts."
“…”
Being unreasonable and unruly.
In all her years of life, she has never seen anyone with a thicker skin than the Shen family!
Zhao was so angry that she was speechless. Shen Jinhua continued, "It's settled. From today on, Ying'er and I will stay and take care of Chi'er."
"No! I don't want you to take care of me!"
Shen Qingchi refused loudly, tears almost falling.
This young lady has been in Hanjing for so many years, but she has not changed her bad habits in the village. Not only does she grind her teeth and pick her nose, she also spits everywhere. More importantly, Shen Jinhua likes to take advantage of others. If Shen Jinhua is allowed to stay, she will definitely be driven crazy.
As Shen Qingchi spoke, she looked at Yun Wantang for help, hoping that Aunt Wu could help her.
However, before Yun Wantang could speak, a servant came to report, "Master Shen has arrived. The old master asked the Fourth Young Master's wife and Madam Shen to go to the front hall to speak."
Shen Qingyuan came to the Taifu Mansion and alarmed the Taifu. Zhao thought something was wrong and did not dare to delay. She quickly led everyone to the front hall.
In the hall, Li Jixian was kneeling on the ground, with several more slap marks on his face.
Marquis Qingyuan did not come today. Only the three uncles of the Shen family, as well as Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingyu came. Shen Qingyuan was the one with the highest status among these people, and sat below the Taifu.
Hearing the footsteps, Shen Qingyuan immediately stood up and walked straight to Chunxi. He looked her up and down, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
What could possibly happen to this shrew?
Zhao couldn't help but sneered at Shen Qingyuan: "Madam Shen rushed into the mansion and beat my son, causing unrest in the mansion. She is so powerful, what can happen to her?"
Shen Qingyuan pulled Chunxi behind him and said solemnly, "My wife has always been sensible in what she does. Madam, why not ask your son what good deeds he has done first?"
Zhao: “…”
