It must be said that Madam Jiang was indeed adept at manipulating people; otherwise, Shen Qiuyan wouldn't have been able to be manipulated by her for three whole years without any resistance.
But today she was facing Shen Yunxi, who was not so easy to deal with.
"Thank you for reminding me, Madam Jiang. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Ying'er is still in the manor. With such upbringing in the Jiang family, the son they raised is such a worthless wretch. I'm worried that Ying'er will be affected. Later, I'll take Ying'er to the Shen family, so she can keep my sister company. As for your Jiang family, aren't you concerned about the son in Xiao Die's belly? Very well, take good care of him and make sure he's born safely!" Shen Yunxi sneered.
Madam Jiang was terrified. Jiang Ying was her bargaining chip to control Shen Qiuyan. As long as Jiang Ying was around, she would eventually return to the Jiang family no matter what.
But if Jiang Ying also leaves, then it's still unknown when she'll return.
If Shen Qiuyan does not easily forgive Jiang Wenye, the Jiang family will definitely be in trouble.
"No, how can this be? Ying'er is a member of the Jiang family. Why should she go to the Shen family? I don't agree!" Madam Jiang immediately refused, and she even gave Jiang Wenye a wink.
Jiang Wenye immediately understood that Jiang Ying absolutely could not leave, otherwise the Shen family would not give the Jiang family any face.
“That’s right, Ying’er is my daughter, and I don’t agree to her going to the Shen family,” Jiang Wenye said.
Shen Yunxi didn't care about the mother and son at all. "You don't think I'm discussing Ying'er's fate with you, do you? How could that be! I'm informing you that I'm taking Ying'er away, and the matter of Jiang Wenye hurting my sister won't be so easily forgotten. Just wait, this is your Jiang family's fault. Everything will be decided after my sister wakes up, but neither our Shen family nor the Empress Dowager will let those who hurt my sister get away with it!"
After saying that, Shen Yunxi ignored her and took Hongxiu to Jiang Ying's courtyard, bringing the person out directly.
The servants of the Jiang family dared not stop them, for they were also afraid of getting themselves into trouble.
Jiang Ying obediently followed Shen Yunxi away from the Shen family. She seemed to have no reluctance at all. When she heard Shen Yunxi say that she would take her to find her mother, the little girl was very happy.
At the gate of the Jiang family's residence, Shen Yunxi bid farewell to Granny Tian and Defu.
Granny Tian looked at Shen Yunxi with some worry. "Miss Yunxi, you now have a conflict with the Jiang family. I'm afraid they won't let Miss Qiuyan off so easily. Today's incident has blown up quite a bit. If Miss Qiuyan wakes up, I don't know what she will think or what she will do. I'm afraid she will be heartbroken."
Shen Yunxi was well aware of the mess today, but if she didn't act this way, the Jiang family would continue to bully Shen Qiuyan.
Since Shen Qiuyan had almost lost her life, she was bound to make a big scene.
"Granny, I know what you're thinking, but I don't regret it. Otherwise, I might have lost my sister." Shen Yunxi said with a firm expression, and she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
Upon hearing this, Granny Tian nodded and stopped trying to persuade her. "Since Miss Yunxi has her own ideas, then this servant will not say anything more. No matter what happens, Her Majesty will stand behind Miss Yunxi and Miss Qiuyan."
"Thank you, Granny and Eunuch, for coming to the Jiang family to support me. Some of the Jiang family's affairs have been resolved. The rest will have to wait until my sister wakes up." Shen Yunxi smiled and looked at Defu. "Please convey my gratitude to His Majesty for me."
"Miss Yunxi, you are too kind. This servant will certainly convey these words to His Majesty." Defu said with a smile.
Granny Tian and Defu returned to the palace, and Shen Yunxi also took Jiang Ying to the Shen family. They went directly to the courtyard where Shen Qiuyan had lived before her marriage. She was very worried about Shen Qiuyan's injury, but she still sent Jiang Ying to her own courtyard first to be taken care of by Zhizhi and Cai'er. She was worried that Jiang Ying would be frightened if she saw Shen Qiuyan's injury.
There were several people in Shen Qiuyan's room at that moment. Besides Lan Pei, Ma Shi and Qian Shi were also there. Shen Yunxi heard the voices inside as soon as she reached the door.
"Oh dear, what happened to Sanya? That Jiang family is truly despicable. So, when it comes to marriage, one must carefully observe the character of the other party," Madam Qian said with a hint of schadenfreude.
It's not hard to understand Qian's thoughts. After all, her daughter, Shen Leyi, is already engaged to He Zheng, who is a penniless man. It would be a huge loss for her daughter to marry him.
However, since she had no way to deal with the eldest son's wife, and now that she knew that Shen Qiuyan from the eldest son's wife's wife was suffering, she certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to kick her while she was down.
Shen Yunxi stopped in her tracks, not in a hurry to go in. She wanted to hear what Madam Qian had to say!
Lan Pei was also furious. Hearing Qian Shi's words, she wanted to slap her. "Why is Third Sister-in-law like this? My daughter is being bullied by her in-laws, and you, as her third aunt, are making sarcastic remarks. Is this the behavior of an elder? Fourth Sister is also getting married. If you act like this, aren't you worried that Fourth Sister will also be bullied by her in-laws?"
"How can you speak like that, sister-in-law? My daughter isn't even married yet, and you're already cursing me like this. Just because your daughter is wronged doesn't mean you want my daughter to be wronged too. I came here out of kindness to see Sanya." Madam Qian said with displeasure.
"Whether you've come to see Qiuyan sincerely or not, you know perfectly well. Don't treat people like fools." Lan Pei looked coldly at Madam Qian.
Qian showed no embarrassment at being called out; instead, she looked at Lan Pei with a smug expression. "Say what you will. I just came to see Sanya, and I didn't mean anything by it. But sister-in-law, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to bring Sanya back directly? Sanya is a married daughter. Even if she has been wronged, she can't just run back to her parents' home. It's not good for the other sisters, and they might spread unpleasant rumors."
Lanpei sneered, "I'd like to see who can spread any bad rumors. I'll tear their mouths apart!"
“Sister-in-law, that’s a powerful statement, but can you really silence all the gossip?” Madam Qian added.
Shen Yunxi stepped inside and immediately saw Qian Shi watching the show from the side, and Ma Shi standing there without any reaction.
It's hard to say what Ma's purpose is, but Qian's purpose has been made clear, so Shen Yunxi won't be too polite to her.
"Whether we can silence the gossip or not is none of your concern, Auntie. We have our own methods. Besides, even as my sister's own sister, I don't see anything wrong with her going back to her parents' home to recuperate. I believe the other sisters won't think anything of it either. However, Auntie doesn't need to worry either. Next up is Fourth Sister, but she's no longer a member of the Shen family. Her name isn't even on the family register, so I don't believe it will affect her in any way. If Auntie is still worried, you might as well just announce it to the public that Fourth Sister is not a daughter of the Shen family."
