Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 624
624 A Farce (5)
Shen Wan rubbed his forehead and looked at Chen Ruoqiu with disappointment. “When did you lose the ability to tell right from wrong?”
Chen Ruoqiu was stunned. Shen Wan continued, “Forget it. I’ll personally go and apologize to the Wang family tomorrow. However, I don’t know if it will work. After all, our Shen family is in the wrong first. If it doesn’t… it’s your fault. You can’t blame anyone.” After saying that, he glanced at Shen Yue and turned to leave.
Chen Ruoqiu was frightened by Shen Wan’s disappointed gaze when he left. She wanted to say something, but Shen Gui had already left the room. Looking at Shen Yue, who was crying, she could only turn around to comfort her daughter.
When Shen Wan left the room, the servant beside him saw that he was exhausted and asked, “Master, do you want to go out to relax?”
“No need.” Shen Wan waved his hand. He thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the west courtyard.”
!!
The west courtyard was now occupied by Chang Zaiqing.
The servant did not say anything and silently led Shen Wan to the west courtyard.
The two of them did not see that someone was looking at their backs from afar. This person was Mrs. Zhang, who was with Old Madam Shen in Rongjing Hall. Mrs. Zhan muttered to herself in confusion, “Why is Third Master going to the west courtyard…”
…
The farce in the Shen family early in the morning quickly reached Shen Miao’s ears.
Back then, when splitting up from the Shen family, Shen Miao also bribed some servants from the second, third branch, and even Rongjing Hall. Chen Ruoqiu’s managing ability was not as capable as Ren Wanyun. When Ren Wanyun was in charge of the household, the various courtyards, especially Rosy Cloud Garden, were Impregnable, and it was very difficult to get any spies in. When Chen Ruoqiu took charge of the household, it was in a state of disunity. In addition, the servants were not earning as much as before. It was very easy for her to bribe the servants with some money. Moreover, what she wanted to ask was not anything confidential. It was just something trivial that happened in the Shen mansion.
After the decline of the second branch, the third branch was the one holding up the family.
When people had a good and comfortable life for too long, they would become foolish. For example, Shen Yue’s move this time was really terrible.
After the quarrel, Shen Wan really went to apologize to the Wang family the next day. No one knew what kind of excuse he came up with, but he probably pinned all the blame on Shen Dongling.
The Wang family did not accept Shen Wan’s apology. They did not acknowledge Shen Yue at all. They insisted that Shen Dongling was the daughter of the third branch. As for Shen Yuie, sorry, they did not know who she was at all.
Shen Wan was very embarrassed. He could tell that the Wang family was deliberately making things difficult for him. He also understood that the Wang family might have already known that the marriage exchange was proposed by Shen Yue, so they deliberately made things difficult for him. Shen Gui thought that with his relationship with the Wang Family, after assuming airs for a while, the Wang families would eventually replace Shen Dongling with Shen Yue. However, this time, Shen wan was wrong.
Therefore, in the end, the two parties came up with two solutions. First, Shen Dongling would stay in the Wang family as Shen Yue, and the real Shen Yun would be forbidden to go out into the public. This was naturally unacceptable to Shen Wan. Then, there was the second solution. Shen Yuan would also marry into the Wang family and be an equal wife.
Because everyone attended Shen Yue and Wang Bi’s wedding, there was no need to hold a big wedding this time. Judging from the scale of the marriage, others would think that Wang Bi was just marrying a concubine’s daughter, which was why they kept a low profile.
