“My mother doesn’t usually speak kindly. Men work hard for their families outside the home, so shouldn’t they be able to relax and enjoy themselves when they come home? Now that my father is working so hard outside, why doesn’t my mother understand and instead causes trouble?”
Shen Ajiao spoke earnestly and sincerely, "I'm doing this for my mother's own good."
“Every family is like this outside, so why can’t it be the same for Mother? Besides, these girls are so gentle and obedient. I believe Mother can get along well with them.”
"Besides, doesn't Mother have a younger brother?"
When her son was mentioned, Madam Shen's expression improved. She had wanted to strangle Shen Ajiao, who was so blind, but then she thought that Lin Ruhai was still there for her, so she couldn't act rashly. Otherwise, she would have strangled her right now!
"Your brother, he..."
“Mother, I just saw that my brother also has two confidantes in his arms. You see, not only does Father like them, but my brother likes them too. Please don’t interfere.”
Madam Shen is petrified? And Qi'er is with her too?
"Madam, don't you know? I heard that the young master has four or five sisters who were sent by other officials,"
The beauty said with a hint of envy, "It's so nice to be by your side, Master. I can go out with you every day and I heard you buy so many things. I'm so envious of your jewelry and clothes."
These little bitches, are you implying she treated them badly? Who told them to spread rumors outside!
With her brows furrowed, how could she not know what was going on around Qi'er?
We'll deal with those sluts next time!
They quickly summoned the servants attending to Shen Qi to inquire about the situation.
"The old man went out? Who's been taking care of him lately?"
The maid Qiu'er, who came in to report, also looked aggrieved. She had been waiting for the madam to intervene these past few days because those vixens were going too far!
She immediately cried out in grievance, "Madam, you don't know, these past few days the master has had a few vixens around him, they're seducing him all day long so he doesn't study and neglects his studies, and he even buys things for them!"
"Are you all dead? Don't you know how to give advice?" Madam Shen grabbed a cushion and threw it at them. "I asked you to take care of the old man, what did you promise me?"
Qiu'er's mouth tasted bitter. "Madam, I tried to persuade him at first, but... but the master wouldn't listen at all. Those vixens have won him over. He won't let us get close to him anymore, let alone talk to him, we can't even get near him!"
"Where's the old man?"
"The old man took them out for a trip."
At this point, Qiu'er looked even more indignant. The few of them who used to serve the master were almost driven to their deaths by those vixens, and now they couldn't even go out!
"Madam, please save the old man."
The beautiful woman chimed in, "What are you saying, little sister? What's wrong with the master? What's this talk about saving him? You're all incompetent at serving him. You should be happy that they're serving him well! After all, we're all servants!"
Instead of complaining, why not improve yourself in private and make the master happy?
Shen Ajiao really wanted to applaud this beauty. Well said!
Madam Shen was furious. "These crooked methods are trying to corrupt the maids in my household!" she said, pointing at the beauty.
Slap him!
The beauty covered her face and said aggrievedly, "Oh dear, Madam, you've ruined my face. Master will be unhappy when he comes back and sees it."
"If you think what I said is bad, then I won't say anything." With that, she flicked her handkerchief, bowed, and swaggered away.
That's really impressive, but isn't that a bit too flashy?
However, she liked it. Shen Ajiao looked at Madam Shen's face, which was so angry that it was almost distorted, and lowered her head without saying a word. Now that Lord Shen was the Emperor Emeritus's henchman and Shui Rong had gone to the northern border, he had no one to help him, so he was naturally not doing well.
At this crucial time, even Madam Shen dared not do anything to the beauties sent from above. Sure enough, the next second Madam Shen felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly. She dared not do anything to them, but she glared fiercely at Shen Ajiao.
"You good-for-nothing!"
"Your father and brother are in such a state, and I've asked you to come back and make me proud, but you won't even do that! What use are you! My Shen family has raised you for so long, and you're such an ungrateful wretch!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
There were no outsiders in the room anymore, and Madam Shen no longer pretended to be a loving mother and daughter. She kept cursing Shen Ajiao, and even tried to stab her with the hairpin in her hair.
Shen Ajiao's eyes were icy cold. Seeing that Madam Shen was about to stab her, she picked up a cup and splashed it in Madam Shen's face.
"Oh dear, quickly find a doctor! Mother has probably gone mad!"
When Madam Shen was young, she was incredibly beautiful. She took a liking to the eldest son of the Shen family and thought it was a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and she married a son born to a concubine.
They had a period of harmonious marriage, but then that bitch came to provoke them, heavily pregnant, saying that she, a concubine's daughter, was marrying the legitimate son and would become the head of the household. So what if she was a high and mighty legitimate daughter? Wasn't she still marrying a despised concubine's son?
He even had the audacity to say that if he asked her for help in the future, she would naturally give him a meal!
With her?
How dare you take her place?
It's a pity that the bitch didn't survive, leaving behind this little bitch.
That little bitch is an ungrateful wretch!
An ingrate is an ingrate! I should have sent her and her wretched mother together!
She was filled with hatred, and Madam Shen's mind became clearer. She glanced at Lin Ajiao, who was mocking her, and smiled coldly. There were many ways to kill someone.
Those beauties were probably the work of a vile woman; how wonderful, reaching out to her.
Just like her vile mother, she still dares to swagger in front of her!
