Chapter 243 Self-indulgent
In Fushouju of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, when she heard the servant's report on what happened at the Princess's Mansion, Old Madam Shen flew into a rage.
Tang Qingmei has been kept in the backyard and has not yet been dealt with.
After Shen Lanxing got married, she hurriedly followed her husband to another place.
Shen Mingji, the grandson most beloved by Mrs. Shen, was sent to Yizhou by Shen Junxing.
Now all the servants in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion have been replaced. Even if Shen Junxing no longer restricts her freedom, Old Lady Shen is depressed because she no longer has the people she used to rely on around her.
Because Mrs. Shen discovered the poisoning in time, it was not serious and she was fine after being treated by Imperial Doctor Jiang.
After I got better, I couldn't sit still again.
Since Shen Ruyi went to Guanghong Temple, she has never come back. Old Madam Shen went there secretly several times, but Shen Ruyi did not see her.
Although Old Madam Shen felt guilty about her daughter afterwards, she became a little angry when Shen Ruyi didn't see her after she went there several times.
She felt that there were no parents in the world who were not wrong, and what could she do since things had already happened?
Her daughter's attitude was really hard for her to accept.
Later, he learned that Qin Ruo was conferred the title of Princess and Qin Ziyan had ranked first in the imperial examination, so this time his whole family went to Beijing to accept the reward.
Old Madam Shen also changed her attitude towards Qin Ruo and her brother.
For Shen Ruyi's sake, she was willing to accept the Qin siblings back and find an opportunity for them to return to their ancestral home.
Today, Qin Ruo and his group entered the city. Old Madam Shen did not go to the scene, but sent a servant to inquire about the news.
When she learned that Qin Ruo was returning with the eldest princess in the carriage, Old Madam Shen once again ordered the servants in the mansion to go to the princess's residence and ask Qin Ruo and her siblings to come to the Wu'an Marquis's residence.
As a result, the servant came back not long after he left. He told Old Madam Shen that Qin Nuo had thrown out the group of maids sent from the palace to the Princess's Mansion.
He also said that the matter had spread throughout the city, and that Old Madam Shen's head was buzzing and she almost exploded with anger.
At the same time, she was glad that she had not yet recognized Qin Ruo's siblings, otherwise she didn't know what kind of disaster would be brought to Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Old Madam Shen had heard in the past that Qin Ziyan was eager for quick success and that Qin Ruo was a businesswoman who loved to be in the spotlight. As for Qin's Erlang, he was timid and submissive and could not show up in public.
In the past, she would feel upset whenever these people were mentioned.
I thought that the Qin family had changed for the better after coming to Beijing, but I didn't expect that they would do such an ignorant thing on the first day after entering the city.
Old Madam Shen suddenly felt ashamed, and at the same time she gave up the idea of getting to know Qin Ruo and her siblings.
With someone as arrogant and ignorant as Qin Ruo, if they really recognized each other, who knows how much trouble it would cause to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the future.
Old Madam Shen was holding a lot of anger in her heart, which she couldn't get rid of for a long time.
She was very angry in Fushouju until she heard the servant come to report that her son Shen Junxing had returned from the court. Then Mrs. Shen hurried to the front hall.
As soon as she saw Shen Junxing, Old Madam Shen could no longer suppress her anger.
"Okay, you just came back from outside. Have you heard about Princess Ning'an? She was sent by the palace. It was the emperor's grace! Not only did she not provide good food and drink, but she even attacked the nanny!"
Madam Shen became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder.
Shen Junxing stood calmly by the side, watching Old Madam Shen vent her anger.
"Mother, what do you want to tell me?" Shen Junxing stared at Old Madam Shen with his dark eyes, his expression unclear.
Old Madam Shen felt a little dissatisfied when she saw Mr. Shen's indifferent expression.
Some time ago, Shen Junxing had gradually returned some of the power in the mansion. Old Madam Shen felt that her son had let go of this matter, and her mind became active again.
"Didn't you hear what I said? That Qin was just given a small title of princess, but she was so proud of herself. Did she really think that she could walk around the capital with the support of the eldest princess?"
"Thunderbolts and raindrops are all grace from the emperor. I have never seen such an ignorant person. If I really can't count on her to have any future, I really overestimated her siblings..."
Faced with his mother's chattering, Shen Junxing showed a trace of fatigue on his face.
Ever since he met Qin Ziyan in Taihe County, Shen Junxing has been full of prejudice against Qin Ruo, his niece whom he has never met.
So after the emperor announced that he would hold a ceremony to confer the title of Emperor Qin Ruo, Shen Junxing's first reaction was that there was someone behind this.
He was even more worried about Qin Ruo and her brother, who were cheating people in the name of Wu'an Marquis Mansion and being taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.
It ruined the reputation of the Wu'an Marquisate and even brought disaster to the residence.
After Qin Ziyan rejected his proposal, Shen Junxing completely gave up on the Qin family.
If possible, he also hoped that, as Qin Ruo said, the two families would keep out of each other's way in the future.
Therefore, in the court, he risked the emperor's suspicion and opposed the emperor's enthronement ceremony for Qin Ruo.
After that incident, he was suppressed by his superiors, the Minister of Finance.
During this period, he had been suppressed by his superior, the Minister of Revenue, and his power was almost stripped away, leaving him in the cold.
The affairs of the court had exhausted him, and when he returned home, he had to face Old Madam Shen and her "weird ideas" that popped up from time to time. His patience had obviously reached its limit.
"Why did mother make such a fuss? What does Princess Ning'an have to do with our Wu'an Marquis Mansion? Could it be that mother is still thinking of asking them to return to their ancestral home?" Shen Junxing looked directly at Old Madam Shen with a cold tone.
Old Madam Shen avoided Shen Junxing's sight with a guilty conscience and whispered, "She is Ruyi's child after all. I just can't bear to see her make mistakes..."
"Mother, are you kidding me? In the past, you tried every means to stop her siblings from going to the capital. Why have you changed your mind now?"
"How many people are watching our Wu'an Marquis Mansion? You want to recognize your relatives at this critical moment, how do you know that this is not a conspiracy against our Wu'an Marquis Mansion?"
A cold light flashed in Shen Junxing's eyes, and he moved forward step by step.
After Ruyi was poisoned, Shen Junling returned soon.
He is also a worrying person. He runs out all day and treats the Wu'an Marquis Mansion as an inn.
Sometimes he felt that he was a failure as an elder brother, unable to protect his younger sister or discipline his younger brother.
No matter how much he was scolded, he just listened in one ear and let it out in the other.
This time when he came back, he even mocked him to his face. As an elder brother, he couldn't even manage his own backyard properly, so who was he to lecture him?
He was so angry and humiliated that he slapped Shen Junling in the face.
After that, Shen Junling could no longer stay in the mansion. He appeared and disappeared mysteriously every day and no one could find him.
