Chapter 142 Shameless
Jiang Shu was sitting facing the visitor. He saw it from a distance and frowned.
"I've met the eldest princess." Shen's mother came to greet Yu Lan.
Yu Lan waved her fan gently and said in a high voice, "Why does Mrs. Shen want to see me?"
This question stumped Mother Shen and she was speechless for a moment.
In the past, when Jiang Shu was in Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, he had some contacts with General Pingxi's Mansion. But since Jiang Shu left the Hou Mansion and the disaster happened when Yan Yang injured Zhuang Yun, the two houses only had grudges.
Mother Shen came to look for Jiang Shu, just to pay tribute to Yu Lan out of status and inferiority. But since Yu Lan asked, she had to answer.
"My grandson hurt Young Master Zhuang, and he feels very sorry. I wonder if Young Master Zhuang is all right now?" Mother Shen choked out these words.
Of course Yu Lan knew that Mother Shen was not looking for her, she did it on purpose.
Jiang Shu and Sun Yijun also knew it very well, so they sat and watched the show in their spare time.
"Mrs. Lao Shen is worried. My son's life is safe. But I heard that during the Lantern Festival in Shangyuan, my son went out to play in the streets. The Jing'an Marquis Mansion is really majestic."
Yu Lan's words made Shen's mother break into a cold sweat.
"Elder Princess, please forgive me. I didn't know about this matter, and I severely reprimanded her afterwards." Shen's mother trembled and knelt down to apologize, fearing that Yu Lan would investigate further.
Although this matter has passed, if Yu Lan wants to pursue it, no one can stop him.
What's more important is that leaving the house privately is, at best, a child's playfulness and a momentary soft-heartedness on the part of the parents; at worst, it is arrogance based on merit and contempt for the emperor's power, and the consequences will be very serious.
"Once it's unintentional, but twice it's intentional. Mrs. Shen must be careful to control her. If it happens again, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Marquis Shen to get over with twenty boards." Yu Lan warned with a stern expression.
Mother Shen hurriedly responded and promised repeatedly.
Yu Lan put down her fan and drank tea. After drinking, she saw that Shen's mother had not left yet, so she frowned and said, "Is there anything else, Mrs. Shen?"
Mother Shen looked at Jiang Shu, forced a smile and said, "I want to say a few words to Miss Jiang."
"Oh? Then hurry up and talk, we still have something to do." Yu Lan urged.
Shen's mother looked at Jiang Shu and thought that it would be better to say it in front of everyone. Jiang Shu would have no choice if the words were made clear.
"Shu'er, after you left the Hou Mansion, the old lady couldn't afford to fall ill and talked about you every day. Nagasawa often went to listen to the bamboo house sitting withered, regretting and missing you..."
Mother Shen talked a lot, and Jiang Shu and others frowned.
"What exactly does Mrs. Shen want to say?" Jiang Shu couldn't listen anymore and asked directly.
Shen's mother sat down next to Jiang Shu, took her hand and said, "Shu'er, we are all thinking of you, and Changze is also thinking of you."
"They say clothes are not as good as new people, and old clothes are not as good as new ones. A husband and a wife can live in love for a hundred days. Can you forgive Nagasawa and let him ask for marriage again?"
"Don't worry, we won't dislike you wearing men's clothing every day, and we won't restrict you from doing business. As long as you return to the Marquis Mansion, you can do whatever you want."
Jiang Shu's brows knitted when he heard this, and he pulled out his hand impatiently and said, "Mrs. Shen, it's better to dislike it."
Mother Shen was startled and didn't understand what he meant.
Jiang Shu's pretty face said coldly: "If a good horse doesn't turn around, there is absolutely no chance between me and Marquis Shen. If the Marquis Mansion still cares about some dignity, please don't harass me again."
Anticipating that Jiang Shu would refuse, Mother Shen pinched her hands and raised her voice.
"Shu'er, you are a woman who took over a business and became the hostess. You are deviant and dress up as a man to do business. You would not be tolerated by other wealthy families. But not only do we not dislike you, we also do not restrain you. This is a great tolerance. Looking at Beijing, I can’t find another one.”
The ladies and ladies who loved watching the excitement pricked up their ears to listen for the sound when they saw Shen's mother walking towards Jiang Shu.
At this time, they were shocked when they heard Shen's mother say that Jiang Shu had taken over Jiang Ji and became the hostess.
Jiang Ji is one of the top five business houses in Beijing. When Jiang Shu takes over Jiang Ji, doesn't it mean that all the Jiang family's wealth is in her hands?
This news shocked all the ladies, and they immediately considered it in their hearts.
Seeing the horror on everyone's faces, Shen's mother thought her words had an effect and was secretly proud.
As long as he is disliked by every family in Beijing, Jiang Shu will have no choice but to remarry into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Shuqi's delicate body trembled slightly, her face was as cold as frost, and her voice was cold as she said: "Even if no one dares to marry me, I will never marry into the Marquis of Jing'an again!"
She didn't care about Shen's mother revealing these things, but she was angry at Shen's mother's shameless behavior. It is really hateful to try to use this as a means to force her.
Yu Lan and Sun Yijun also didn't expect that the dignified wife of the Hou Mansion would be so shameless, which is really despicable.
"Mrs. Shen, today is my birthday. If you come to celebrate my birthday, please observe the courtesy of being a guest. If you come to make trouble, please leave."
Sun Yijun said this so rudely that anyone who heard it would be embarrassed.
Originally, she didn't want to post to the Marquis of Jing'an, but it was her parents who explained that it was inappropriate to target her so blatantly, so she reluctantly sent the post to the Marquis of Jing'an.
Being refuted like this by a junior, Mother Shen's face turned red and white, and she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
She clasped her hands and turned her eyes to Mrs. Sun and others for help, but no one spoke for her.
In the end, it was the Crown Princess who stood up.
"Yijun, today is your birthday, don't be upset." She first comforted Sun Yijun with a smile, and finally said to Shen's mother: "If Mrs. Shen feels unwell, just go back and rest. Mrs. Sun will not be upset. "
These words were a reminder to Shen's mother that if she stopped, the Sun family would not care for her sake. If she keeps making trouble, she won't be able to control it.
Mother Shen looked at the sullen Jiang Shu, her lips moved, she hesitated for a moment, stood up, and walked away with a stern look on her face.
She didn't understand how things could become like this. It was completely different from what she expected. What went wrong?
Since the birthday party last year, the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion has become increasingly unpopular. The princess was also entrusted by the prince to take care of her.
As soon as Shen's mother left, ladies from all the families flocked to Jiang Shu and talked around her.
"Do you know why Mrs. Shen came to the banquet alone?"
Jiang Shu and others were really curious. Why didn't Cheng Jinchu show up on such an important social occasion?
"Why?" Sun Yijun asked, feeling tempted.
"I heard that there was a fire in the house of Marquis Jing'an, and Mrs. Shen Marquis had a bloody fight with her concubine."
"Although Aunt Xu is a concubine, she is also a serious official lady and is deeply loved by Mr. Xu. After learning that she was bullied in the Hou Mansion and almost died, the Xu family went to the Hou Mansion to investigate."
"I have also heard about this matter. Mrs. Shen Hou was grounded because of this. Shen Hou also promised to divide the Hou Mansion's family property into half of the concubine's son in the future. The Xu family agreed to reconcile and did not make trouble."
"What did Mrs. Shen Hou do?" Sun Yijun was always very curious and would not give up until he understood.
An insider said: "Mrs. Shen Hou unexpectedly had a miscarriage last year and could not get pregnant again, so she had a twisted mind. When Aunt Xu gave birth in March this year, she bribed Po Wen to tamper with her during the delivery, so that Aunt Xu could not get pregnant again. ."
"This kind of shady thing is extremely dangerous. Aunt Xu almost died."
Jiang Shu and others were shocked when they heard this. They did not expect that such a thing would happen in Jing'an Hou Mansion.
