That's good too. Since she doesn't know, there's no time to prepare. She can find out exactly what happened and what her sister did wrong.
"It seems my brother-in-law is in a good mood today. He went out for a while. I wonder if he knows that my sister almost lost her life in the house? When we arrived at the yard more than an hour ago, she was already delirious, with many purplish-blue marks on her body, a slap mark on her face, and strangulation marks on her neck. I wonder if he knows what happened?"
Shen Yunxi spoke very softly, but it sounded threatening to Jiang Wenye, who couldn't help but tremble.
Strange, this girl isn't always so gentle and weak, why does she seem different today?
However, Jiang Wenye did not take Shen Yunxi seriously. He waved for his beloved concubine to leave first, and then slowly sat down in the chair, looking at Shen Yunxi.
"My sister, you don't know this, but it's perfectly acceptable for a husband to discipline his wife in any situation."
"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Yunxi stared intently at Jiang Wenye. "So, you're saying that the injuries on my sister's body were inflicted by you?"
Jiang Wenye was a little tired from walking and didn't notice Shen Yunxi's expression at all. He nodded and said, "That's right, she needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise she'll start to get too big for her britches."
Shen Yunxi laughed in exasperation, "Then I wonder what my sister did to make my brother-in-law so angry. If it's my sister's fault, I will definitely say a few words for my brother-in-law."
However, Madam Jiang did not come over now; instead, she went to deal with the mess left by Jiang Wenye. Otherwise, she would definitely have stopped Jiang Wenye from saying that.
Jiang Wenye said smugly, "I'm not trying to be mean, but it was your sister's fault to begin with. As my wife, she dared to interfere in my taking concubines and even bullied them. Of course, she has to be taught a lesson. Sister, you must also remember that in the home, the husband is the most respected."
"So what exactly happened? Did my brother-in-law beat my sister just because she interfered with his taking a concubine?" Shen Yunxi asked with a smile.
Unfortunately, Jiang Wenye was completely oblivious to the chilling undercurrent beneath Shen Yunxi's smile. Instead, he was smug and self-satisfied. "It's not just because of that. It's also because your sister didn't give birth to a son. You can't blame me for that, can you? It would have been fine if she hadn't given birth to a son, but now my concubine is pregnant, and the doctor says it's a boy. She's even bullying my concubine, so you can't blame me. Our Jiang family finally has a son, and your sister is punishing that concubine because she doesn't want her to have a safe delivery. I have to say, her intentions are truly vicious."
Hearing this, Shen Yunxi felt that she knew the gist of the matter; it must have been caused by the pregnant concubine.
But she never expected that Jiang Wenye would treat his wife like this. No matter what, Shen Qiuyan was his lawfully wedded wife, yet he almost took her life because of a concubine's scheming.
Shen Yunxi felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, increasingly convinced that her sister had married the wrong person.
Lan Pei and Shen Zhong initially planned to thoroughly investigate Jiang Wenye's character, but after receiving benefits from the Jiang family, Old Madam Shen readily agreed to the marriage and instructed Lan Pei to make the arrangements.
Although Shen Qiuyan herself was deeply in love with Jiang Wenye at that time, if she had truly understood what kind of person he was, she would never have married him.
Unfortunately, it's all too late now. Shen Qiuyan has already married Jiang Wenye, and Jiang Ying has been born.
After a long while, Shen Yunxi took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Wenye with even greater calmness.
“Brother-in-law, do you really understand my sister? My sister is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an. She grew up with my mother and often went to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. She has always been well-educated and courteous. But you doubted her and even attacked her just because of what a concubine said. Do you think you are right?”
Now, Shen Yunxi doesn't want to give Jiang Wenye a chance, but rather she doesn't want to affect Jiang Ying and make her resent her aunt in the future.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Wenye was only slightly stunned for a moment before returning to his indifferent expression.
"What's wrong with that? As a man, it's only right to discipline your wife," Jiang Wenye said, waving his hand as if he didn't take Shen Yunxi's words seriously at all.
Just then, Madam Jiang finally arrived in a hurry. When she saw Jiang Wenye's attitude towards Shen Yunxi and his statement that it was only right for him to discipline his wife, she immediately felt dizzy.
That brat, how could he say such inappropriate things in front of Shen Yunxi?
“Miss Shen, don’t listen to Wenye’s nonsense. He’s still drunk; he drank quite a bit yesterday,” Madam Jiang quickly stepped forward and said.
After finally managing to arrange things in the manor, Jiang Wenye spoke his mind directly to Shen Yunxi. What was the point of all her previous arrangements then?
Shen Yunxi smiled enigmatically. "Madam Jiang is too kind. My brother-in-law spoke from the bottom of his heart just now, and I heard everything he said. However, speaking of which, we should now summon that concubine who is supposedly pregnant with a boy. Fortunately, my sister's personal maid, Hongxiu, is here as well, so we can get to the bottom of this today. Madam Jiang need not worry. Our Shen family never bullies anyone. Even if your Jiang family is not as powerful as our Shen family, we will still try to reason with you."
Good heavens, Shen Yunxi's words struck a chord with Madam Jiang, and she was deeply hurt.
Originally, what Madam Jiang disliked most about Shen Qiuyan was that she came from a prominent family and was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an, so she was extremely jealous.
Therefore, sometimes when Jiang Wenye upset Shen Qiuyan, she would pretend not to know, or even tell Shen Qiuyan to be magnanimous. Shen Qiuyan gradually stopped talking to Madam Jiang and no longer had much contact with her except for the daily morning and evening greetings.
Three years had wasted away Shen Qiuyan, leaving her unrecognizable; the repression in her heart was beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.
Shen Yunxi was a little confused. Suddenly she remembered that in her previous life, the concubine lost her child. It was because she had used too much medicine, which made Jiang Wenye furious. So, did Jiang Wenye still take action?
Is the reason why Shen Qiuyan fell ill and never recovered similar to today's situation, except that she was unable to come back then and was waiting in Yaohua Palace for Junxuan to come and see her?
Thinking of this, Shen Yunxi felt a mix of emotions, and her anger towards Jiang Wenye deepened.
Madam Jiang gave a dry laugh. "Miss Chen, there's really no need for that. Your brother-in-law was indeed a bit too hasty. I will definitely give him a good talking-to later."
Ha, still thinking of settling things peacefully?
