Jun Hongbai's face froze, and the anger that had softened just now because of Jun Yuan's mournful howling rose again.
Jun Yuan's heart tightened, and he gave Shen Qingluan a resentful look, and said in a sharp voice: "Shen Qingluan! If you don't like me, just come to me. My brother has always been filial to you. He said he was a strict father and a loving mother. If your father beats him, you should beg for mercy. .
But you actually watched your brother being beaten, and you also made sarcastic remarks and provoked trouble. You didn't regard your brother as your child at all. You are not worthy to be our mother! "
Jun Hongbai's heart was broken by Jun Yuan's crying, and Jun Qian's resentful eyes stabbed her chest with severe pain.
Seeing Shen Qingluan sitting An Ran in the chair and watching with cold eyes from beginning to end, he felt disgust and resentment for no reason.
"Shen Qingluan, is this the result you want? I just said a harsh word to you, and you asked the master of the Shen clan school to deliberately target Yuan'er and force him to drop out of school.
I should have known that you were just showing favor to Qian'er and Yuan'er. How can there be a stepmother in the world who truly cares about her stepsons and stepdaughters? It's a shame that I was deceived by Shen's reputation into marrying you!
If I had known you were so indifferent, I would rather never marry than let you in! "
He looked straight at Shen Qingluan, his eyes were red and terrifying.
Mrs. Lu's face was twisted with hatred and her voice was hoarse: "Hand over all the account books, keys, and cards in the house. I don't dare to let you, a poisonous woman like you, take care of the house anymore, otherwise I will be killed by you one day." have no idea."
The words "murdering the mother-in-law" were so heartbreaking that the expressions of all the maids around Shen Qingluan changed drastically.
However, Shen Qingluan still sat motionless, not even blinking.
She had heard this too many times in her previous life.
"The uncle just said that I asked the Shen clan to deliberately target Yuan'er. I wonder where you heard this?"
Before Jun Yuan could speak, Jun Qian said first:
"Where did you hear it? What dare you do? Don't you dare to do it? Brother Yuan has been in school for so long, and the master who studied in the Shen clan has never taught poetry and classics seriously. All he wants to do is run around the foot of the mountain all day long, and he is also tied up. Write with lead!
Brother Yuan respects you as your legitimate mother, so he swallows all his grievances. But what about you, do you care about Yuan'er's body and future? "
In the room, Mrs. Lu and three others named Jun stared at her with hatred.
Shen Qingluan's eyes grew colder inch by inch, and he looked at Jun Yuan who was wiping tears: "Brother Yuan, you are nine years old, can't you still speak for yourself?"
Jun Yuan stopped sobbing and looked up at his stepmother who was different from before, feeling a little panicked again.
To be fair, Shen Qingluan treats him well.
He also somewhat likes this beautiful and kind stepmother.
However, his sister told him that as long as he made a fuss like this, he could get his aunt to marry him.
No matter how good Shen Qingluan is, can he be as good to him as his blood relatives?
Jun Yuan only felt guilty for a moment, and then sobbed: "Everyone else can follow Master in reading and practicing calligraphy in class, but I am the only one who has to stand and run all day long."
Jun Hongbai felt a pain in his heart, and looked at Shen Qingluan with even more hatred.
"What else can you say? Playing tricks on a nine-year-old child. This is the upbringing and moral character of your Shen family."
Shen Qingluan looked at Jun Yuan silently, and after a while, he suddenly smiled.
Sure enough, he is a little beast born from an old beast. He can't learn anything, but he can tell lies and smear things without having to learn anything.
She originally thought that she was too strict in her previous life and had too high demands on Jun Yuan's studies, which made Jun Yuan unhappy.
Now, before she even started anything, Jun Yuan could slander her like this with just a touch of his lips.
Sure enough, it was crooked from the root.
Everyone was stunned for a moment because of her smile, and then Shen Qingluan said word by word: "Jun Yuan, my Shen clan school should not have taught you to slander your superiors, speak freely, and lie habitually."
She stood up and pulled in her adopted son Jun Hongji, who had been waiting at the door, "You are not the only one who knows how Shen clan studies are taught.
Second brother, come and tell everyone, what does Master teach you when you go to school? Is it really true that I didn’t teach you anything and only punished you by running and standing? "
Jun Qian was stunned for a moment, and then she felt anxious.
Damn it, why did I forget this little bastard?
Jun Hongji was originally the orphan of his second brother Jun Chengsong's comrade. After being taken back to the capital by Jun Chengsong, he went to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and never took care of him again.
On weekdays, except for Shen Qingluan who helped him take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the rest of the Jun family seemed to have no such person. Even Mrs. Lu never let him come to Fushou Hall to pay his respects.
At this moment, Shen Qingluan was suddenly pulled in, and everyone seemed to suddenly think of this person.
After all, Jun Qian was just an eleven-year-old child. She was caught off guard. Her mind was immediately confused and she subconsciously stepped forward to stop him.
"What qualifications does a bastard with a foreign surname have to speak about the Jun family's affairs? Get out of here!"
"Snapped--"
Shen Qingluan raised a slap and slapped Jun Qian squarely on the face.
She spared no effort in this slap, and Jun Qian's face suddenly became red and swollen with five finger prints.
"what are you doing!"
Jun Hongbai rushed forward and held her wrist, "You vicious woman, you dare to attack Qian'er in front of me, I -"
Shen Qingluan looked back coldly, "Uncle, I am not beating her, but saving her."
Her voice was so cold that the cold air came out of Jun Hongbai's bones, "Hongji's father was a loyal minister who sacrificed his life for the country, and he himself was adopted by the Marquis himself. He was the adopted son of the family tree in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Sister Qian's mouth A foreign surname, a bastard's mouth.
If this word spreads and slanders the descendants of loyal and brave men, how will the people view the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and how will other officials and officials in the capital view Sister Qian? Do they want her reputation, her marriage, or the Marquis of Zhenyuan? Do you still want the title of the mansion? "
At the end of the sentence, Shen Qingluan's voice became louder and louder every word, making everyone in the hall weak.
Especially for the Lu family, she had experienced the Marquis of Zhenyuan's dismissal and re-emergence, and she never wanted to experience it again in her lifetime.
Shen Qingluan added lightly: "I heard that Mr. Hou won the battle and has now returned to the capital. If he hears these words, I wonder if he will let it go.
Mrs. Lu was completely panicked. She immediately ignored her love for her grandchildren and shouted angrily at Jun Qian with a trembling voice:
"Qian'er, I have always taught you how to be friendly, kind, dignified and gentle. Look at you. You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. How can you still have the demeanor of the eldest daughter of Zhenyuan Marquis Du? You still haven't apologized to Hongji. !”
Apologize to Jun Hongji, a bastard?
Jun Qian was still covering her swollen and sore face. She looked at Mr. Lu in disbelief after hearing this. Her tearful eyes were full of resistance and she called out aggrievedly: "Grandma..."
But her performance was just for the blind.
Lu's eyes were filled with unmistakable anger: "The Marquis of Zhenyuan gave birth to you and raised you. They hope that you will marry into a high family in the future and find a powerful in-law for the Marquis, so that the Jun family can take a step forward and support you by the way. Your brother.
But what are you doing now! He made a fool of himself by reciting poems outside, stirred up trouble inside and plotted against his aunt, and now he still humiliates the loyal orphan and ruins the reputation of the Hou family.
Look at yourself, how qualified you are to be the eldest daughter of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion! Still haven’t apologized to Hongji! "
Jun Qian felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She always thought that Shen Qingluan was an outsider in this family, a servant and slave who served her, her brother, and her father.
Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the old lady, she, Jun Qian, was nothing more than that.
Ha, marrying high, protecting the reputation of the Hou family, supporting your younger brother, you shouldn't stretch your hand too far, and you have to apologize to a bastard who has no blood relationship with the Jun family.
Jun Qian's eyes were red, and her hands were shaking with anger, "What if I don't?"
"No?"
The wrinkles at the corners of Lu's lips became deeper, like a shackle, locking up her original joy and anger.
"The eldest lady is sick. Take her down and have a good rest. When she recovers, she will come out again."
"Grandma." Jun Hongbai hesitated.
Mrs. Lu didn't look at him, only looked at Shen Qingluan, "Qian'er said the wrong thing because she was sick. You are her elder, so you shouldn't argue with her."
Shen Qingluan smiled leisurely and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I, Shen's tutor, am loyal, upright, trustworthy and benevolent. If you are dissatisfied, I will only teach you a lesson in person, and I will never care about it afterwards."
Lu's cheek twitched.
A lesson in person?
Isn't that right? These few times, she never had an attack in front of him, and he didn't even spare her any face.
Mrs. Lu took a deep look at her and threatened the maid serving in the room:
"You are all people in my courtyard and you should know my rules. If you let me know what you said outside that I shouldn't say, you don't have to say anything again in the future."
Shen Qingluan held her chin with her left hand, watching her singing and chanting as if facing a powerful enemy, with no expression on her face.
She was beating Shen Qingluan. People in her yard would not talk nonsense. If what Jun Qian said spread, it would only be Shen Qingluan who did it.
She has a pure and innocent heart.
Although Shen Qingluan didn't like or even hated Jun Qian, she would only stand by and watch, and would not take the initiative to harm a little girl.
After resurrecting her life, she might become less cowardly and aggrieved, but she would definitely have the pride and bottom line that a legitimate daughter of the Shen family should have.
Shen Qingluan waved to Jun Hongji, "Second brother, I just made you laugh. You are Sister Qian's elder. Can you forgive her for her slip of the tongue this time?"
Jun Hongji raised his hands to her and saluted: "Sister-in-law, these words are too harsh and childlike, how can I argue with Sister Qian.
What's more, my sister-in-law and grandmother have already upheld justice for me, and this matter should end here. It is not a gentleman's behavior to hold on to resentment. "
He and Jun Yuan were both nine years old, but they behaved like little adults. They bowed and spoke thoughtfully, and their every move was full of the demeanor of a scholar.
Shen Qingluan nodded secretly.
In her previous life, she had tried so hard on Jun Yuan to teach that little bastard a good person.
She almost thought that Shen's way of teaching and educating people was wrong.
Looking at Jun Hongji now, it turns out that, either the teacher was wrong, or the student was a rotten tree from the very beginning.
Shen Qingluan smiled and twisted a piece of cake from the coffee table to him. After he finished eating, he asked, "Brother Yuan said today that Mr. Shen's teaching is not good. How do you feel about you going to school with him?"
Jun Hongji turned to look at Jun Yuan, making him shrink his neck in shame.
"Master taught me very well," he said.
Jun Hongbai snorted coldly, "A nine-year-old naughty boy who has never studied before knows what is good and bad."
Jun Hongji was less than half the height of Jun Hongbai, and was not even as strong as Jun Yuan of the same age, but at this moment he was standing in the hall without hesitation.
"Brother Yuan is also nine years old. Why can eldest brother believe what he says?"
Jun Hongbai choked immediately.
