The lady's face froze for a moment, then she forced a smile and continued, "...let these two girls go back to their respective places."

"But my dear relatives, Ah Zhi, Jiang Minshan is of good origin and cannot be sold. How about this, I will make the decision and let her go to Gujing Temple to become a nun? What do you think?"

The lady thought she had taken a big step back.

No, Shen sneered.

To become a monk?! That would be too easy for Jiang Minshan! "Don't make the temple dirty." Shen said calmly.

Amber, who was standing behind Chu Qianchen, almost laughed out loud when she heard what he said. She thought that the eldest lady's words were truly amazing.

Shen really wanted to cut Aunt Jiang into pieces, but she told herself that there was no rush and she had to wait until Chu Lingxiao came back from the northwest.

Since this pair of bitches are so deeply in love and truly in love, they should go on the road together, otherwise they will have difficulty reuniting in the underworld.

Aunt Jiang, who was kneeling on the ground and unable to get up, was still holding Chu Qianhuang and sobbing. The mother and daughter hugged each other, head to head, body to body, crying and wailing, as if they had suffered great injustice and great injustice.

Who is this acting for? Lady Mu looked at the mother and daughter sarcastically and suggested to Shen: "Azhi, I heard that the Ministry of War is recruiting women to wash clothes recently."

The laundry women employed by the Ministry of War were not ordinary laundry women. They were specially responsible for washing clothes for soldiers in the barracks. They were usually slave women, but some decent girls were also hired. This job was not well paid and tiring. Ordinary women would not choose to do this kind of work if they could find embroidery or other cleaning jobs. For Aunt Jiang, who had been pampered all her life, it was even more tiring.

Chu Lingxiao is going far to the northwest, and he will definitely not be back for one or two months. During this period, Lady Mu, the Duke's wife, cannot bear the humiliation of continuing to pamper Concubine Jiang.

Aunt Jiang stiffened when she heard this. She held Chu Qianhuang's hand tightly with one hand and looked at her for help.

Those tearful eyes seemed to be hesitant to speak, and hot tears dripped onto their clasped hands.

Chu Qianhuang silently wiped away Aunt Jiang's tears with a handkerchief.

Chu Qianchen has no sympathy for Aunt Jiang. Whether in the previous life or in this life, Aunt Jiang has never educated her, so naturally she can't be called an adoptive mother.

If you must say, Aunt Jiang was just her jailer.

Chu Qianchen's fingers gently stroked the ring on his waist, and he calmly said, "Grandma, mother, I think we should give the wages we earn to the charity, which can also be regarded as accumulating some merit for the Chu family."

When talking about "accumulating merit for the Chu family", a faint smile appeared on Chu Qianchen's face.

This sentence was extremely irritating to the Madam's ears, and her face darkened even more. She felt that Chu Qianchen was really cold-hearted, unlike Chu Qianhuang...

Looking at Chu Qianhuang wiping the tears for Aunt Jiang in front of her, the lady was touched and felt that this Sister Huang was still humane.

Alas, the lady sighed in her heart. She didn’t care about Aunt Jiang, she only felt pity for Chu Qianhuang, and was more concerned about the reputation of the Marquis’ Mansion.

"This is a good idea." Lady Mu, the Duke's wife, nodded, feeling that her granddaughter's idea was very much to her liking.

Shen also nodded. She felt that she had treated Chu Qianchen so badly. Even if Chu Qianchen wanted the stars in the sky now, she would try to pick them for her.

Summer thunderstorms come and go quickly. At this moment, the heavy rain outside is gradually subsiding.

“Huahuahuahua…”

The sound of rain was continuous and even the air became much clearer because of the rain.

"This..." The lady opened her lips slightly, wanting to say no, as this would be too embarrassing for the Marquis' Mansion.

Especially if this matter were to be spread out, outsiders would probably think that the Marquis's Mansion was unable to make ends meet and had to rely on a concubine to do odd jobs to earn money.

However, seeing that Lady Mu and Shen were determined, Lady Tai was unable to express her opposition and said to herself, "Forget it." Shen was still angry.

Shen naturally saw the lady's hesitation and compromise, but she pretended not to see it.

After years of being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, doesn't Shen know her mother-in-law well? She is just a bully who only cares about the so-called reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and doesn't care about blood ties at all.

However, Shen was still worried about letting the Chu family handle this matter, so she directly instructed Nanny Chen to do it personally.

Then, Shen looked at the lady and asked, "Mother, when will the ancestral hall be opened?"

The Shen family now only wants to implement this matter as soon as possible and let Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang return to their respective positions.

Whenever Shen thought of the suffering Chu Qianchen had endured over the past decade, and that Chu Qianhuang might also be related to the incident in which Chu Yunmu fell off the rockery, she felt as if her heart was burning on fire, and she could not wait any longer.

Madam: “…”

The lady's eyes twitched and her eyes were confused.

She really felt that at this point, there was no point in exchanging Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen. It had already been more than ten years, so why not just turn a blind eye.

Chu Qianhuang hasn't married yet. She has fallen from the eldest daughter of a legitimate wife to the eldest daughter of a concubine. How can she find a good marriage?

The more the lady thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Chu Qianhuang. She saw that she had never complained since the incident. She did not blame Shen for being ruthless, nor did she blame Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang. Instead, she had been comforting Aunt Jiang.

This girl really has a hard time! The lady sighed in her heart, feeling that Chu Qianhuang had to deal with such a biological mother and adoptive mother. Whether it was Shen or Aunt Jiang, they were all hard to describe, and they only thought about themselves.

The lady was even more disgusted with Shen and Aunt Jiang, but she still smiled and advised Shen in a gentle voice: "Azhi, this matter is of great importance. We have to wait until Ling Xiao returns from the northwest."

The lady had her own plans in mind.

Shen is angry now, but the couple is one, and they have a pair of children. Shen must always think about Chu Yunmu. When the eldest son comes back from the northwest, Shen should have calmed down. By then, let the eldest son bow his head and admit his mistake in a nice voice to coax Shen, and then cut off relations with Jiang Minshan, who is used to instigating, and the couple will be able to reconcile.

Before the eldest son came back, she could also ask Chu Qianhuang to visit the Duke's Mansion more often. After all, this child was the daughter raised by the Shen family since she was a child. She had the eldest son's blood flowing in her body, and she was also a child of the Chu family. She had to call Shen her mother! Is blood relationship really that important? ! The lady looked down on Shen's persistence and felt that she was petty and did not have the bearing of a clan woman.

She is the eldest daughter of Duke Mu's Mansion, but she doesn't even think about the overall situation. Even if Chu Qianchen is Shen's biological daughter, she still has an identity that cannot be changed. She is already the Princess of Chen.

The lady clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand in embarrassment.

She had just agreed to Shen's plan to build an ancestral hall and revise the family tree, but she was just trying to delay it and didn't want Shen to be so anxious.

"Azhi, listen to me." The lady patiently reasoned with Shen, "Ling Xiao is the father of the two children. If he is not here, even if you and I go to talk to the clan leader and elders in person, they will not agree to open the ancestral hall immediately. They must wait for Ling Xiao to come back and witness it in person."

Shen didn't want to wait even a moment, and wanted to say something, but she felt her sleeves tighten.

She glanced out of the corner of her eye and found that it was Chu Qianchen who quietly pulled her under the cover of the coffee table.

Chu Qianchen immediately withdrew his hand, picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened, and smiled at Shen.

This smile made Shen calm down all of a sudden.

Shen barely suppressed the clamorous emotions in her body and responded, "Okay, let's wait until Chu Lingxiao comes back."

The lady breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again, thinking that Shen was becoming more and more unbecoming, actually calling her husband by his name.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Then, she heard Shen say, "Dongmei, go to my yard and clean up."

The lady's anger grew even stronger, and the flesh at the corners of her mouth became tense.

She had already backed down again and again, and even let Jiang Minshan be dealt with by Shen, but Shen was still aggressive.

As the ancestor of the Marquisate, her descendants had always treated her with respect, no matter when her husband was alive or in these years as a widow. She had always lived a happy life. But today she suffered the most anger she had experienced in decades.

She didn't want to waste any more words on Shen, so she didn't keep her. Anyway, Shen would return to the Marquis' Mansion sooner or later, so it would be better for her to calm down at her parents' home.

This marquis's mansion can't do without her, Shen Zhi!

The lady said calmly: "It would be good for you to go back to your parents' home to relax."

Just then, Nanny Chen came in with a few burly old women.

Nanny Chen sneered at Aunt Jiang and said, "Aunt Jiang, please follow me."

Aunt Jiang shrank back, trying to hide behind Chu Qianhuang. Her jade teeth left a row of deep teeth marks on her lower lip, and big crystal tears fell from her eyes.

One of the maids said with a fake smile: "Madam Jiang, I don't know how to control my strength. If you don't get up, I will be sorry if I hurt you."

These old women were all servants of the Duke's Mansion, so they didn't have to worry about the Madam's expression and started taking action while they were talking.

One of the maids pushed Chu Qianhuang away forcefully, while the other two roughly dragged Aunt Jiang up from the ground and clamped her on the left and right.

"Auntie..."

Chu Qianhuang was blocked by the old woman's horizontal arm and looked at Aunt Jiang helplessly.

She wanted to step forward, but Nanny Chen stepped forward and stood between her and Aunt Jiang.

Chu Qianhuang turned to look at the old lady again, calling out "Grandma" in panic, totally at a loss.

"Aunt... um." Aunt Jiang wanted to scream, but the maids would not let her make a fuss. They immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief and dragged Aunt Jiang out of the main hall in a swift manner.

No matter how hard Aunt Jiang struggled, her slender arms could not break free from these old women who were used to doing rough work. As she struggled, her clothes became slightly loose, her hair was mostly scattered, and she looked as disheveled as a mad woman.

“Mmm…”

Aunt Jiang looked at Shen with resentment, as sinister as an owl. Her usually gentle and beautiful face now looked like a completely different person.

Soon, she was dragged away by the old woman.

Only Chu Qianhuang was left standing there anxiously, with tears in her eyes that were about to fall.

She looked at the lady dowager, at Shen, and then at the wife of Duke Mu. She seemed to want to get closer to them, but she hesitated and did not dare to go over, like an abandoned young animal.

Lady Mu, the Duke of Mu, felt a little uncomfortable and reluctant to see Chu Qianhuang like this, and secretly said in her heart, "What a sin."

Lady Mu, the Duke's wife, sighed in her heart. After all, Chu Qianhuang was just a little girl under fourteen years old.

Once upon a time, she was the eldest daughter of the marquis's family, and she was high and mighty. Suddenly, she encountered a sudden change and fell from the clouds. It was no wonder that she didn't know how to deal with herself. She was determined to enter the palace to be the princess's companion, and perhaps she also wanted to avoid this family to some extent.

Although Lady Mu, Duke of Mu, felt sympathy and distressed for Chu Qianhuang, she also knew the importance of the matter.

Chu Qianhuang is innocent, but Chu Qianchen is even more innocent.

Over the past fourteen years, Chu Qianhuang has lived a life of luxury, with everyone around her. She has been enjoying things that do not belong to her, while Chu Qianchen has been trampled into the dust for this. Although Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang have not beaten or scolded her for all these years, they have suppressed and humiliated her in a more cruel way. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have killed her without shedding any blood.

If she sympathized with Chu Qianhuang's experience, then where would Chu Qianchen, who had suffered for so many years, be placed? Wouldn't that cause this girl to get hurt again?

Chu Qianhuang simply returned to where she should be.

Lady Mu, Duke of Mu, suppressed her pity for Chu Qianhuang and avoided her gaze.

The look in her eyes was tantamount to rejection.
