What a righteous speech! What a righteous face!
If not for the fact that she knew the true story, Shen Miao would have praised Old Madam Shen for being just and fair. Her eyes were filled with mockery as she looked at Old Madam Shen.
As expected, after Old Madam Shen finished speaking, everyone immediately revealed an expression of reverence.
“In that case, Miss Jing will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.”
“It’s true that the Shen family is upright. Old Madam Shen is really respectable.”
!!
“I didn’t expect Old Madam Shen to be so wise.”
Half of them praised Old Madam Shen for being responsible, and the other half pitied Jing Chuchu for falling prey to a molester. As for Shen Qiu, he was almost unanimously portrayed by everyone as a shameless pervert.
At this moment, they heard a hurried cry from outside. “Chuchu! Chuchu!” They looked in the direction of the door and saw that Shen Xin and the others had arrived.
The person walking at the front was Jing Guansheng. When the madams saw him, they made way for him. Jing Guansheng stood in front of the door and did not enter. He just looked at the door in a daze, as if he had been struck by lightning.
“What’s going on?” Luo Xueyan asked anxiously.
Chen Ruoqiu wiped her tears and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t be anxious. It’s not Qiu’s fault. It’s all because he’s drunk that he made this horrible mistake.”
On the way here, Shen Gui and Shen Wan had already heard about this. Shen Gui couldn’t wait for Shen Xin to be in trouble. He immediately put on a regretful expression. “It’s all my fault. I should have stopped Qiu when he was drinking. If he wasn’t drunk, how could this happen?”
“Second Brother, don’t blame yourself.” Shen Wan sighed and said, “No one wants this to happen. Let’s think about what to do now.”
“What do you need to think about?” Jing Guansheng’s eyes were red from anger. “Shen Qiu molested her. Naturally, she has to get the justice she deserves!”
“Watch your mouth!” Shen Xin was furious. “I watched Shen Qiu grow up and know him like the back of my hand. He won’t do such a thing!”
“That’s right.” Luo Xueyan sneered. “When Qiu was at the border, many high officials wanted to marry their daughter to him. Any one of them is better-looking than Jing Chuchu. Is Qiu so stupid as to ruin his reputation for a girl like Jing Chuchu?”
Shen Xin was a ruthless person who killed enemies on the battlefield. Luo Xueyan was even more so. Her words made Jing Guansheng’s face turn pale. As for Old Madam Shen, she was so angry that she was speechless.
However, on second thought, what they said made sense. Although Jing Chuchu was good-looking, she was not a drop-dead-gorgeous kind. It was really too much for Jing Guansheng to say that Shen Qiu molested Jing Chuchu.
Shen Miao wanted to laugh. In her previous life, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were also so protective of Shen Qiu. Unfortunately, with so many noble ladies here to “witness”, there was no way they could turn the table.
“The evidence is right in front of you!” Jing Guansheng said angrily, “How can a weak woman like my sister force Shen Qiu? I thought Shen Qiu was a gentleman, but I didn’t expect him to turn out to be a complete scoundrel. I want to send him to the government!”
If Shen Qiu was sent to the government, it meant that this matter would be made public. Old Madam Shen said angrily, “Enough!” She said gently to Jing Guansheng, “Guansheng, you’re my grandnephew. You know how I’ve treated you these days. I like Chuchu very much. I won’t let her be treated unfairly! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you an explanation!”
