Shen Ziqiao was yelled at by Mrs. Zhou, she stood aside aggrievedly, raised a pair of dark and bright eyes to look at Shen Xiao, her eyes looked innocent and pitiful, and muttered softly, "This is to find a stepmother for me, why can't I Commented."
Chen Xueling's face turned blue and white, knowing that he could no longer stay here, so he bowed his knees and hurriedly backed out.
She hasn't entered the Shen family's door yet, and it's not her turn to attend to the Shen family's family affairs.
What's more, it has something to do with her.
Back in her room, her close mother, Jin Niang, greeted her, "Miss, why do you look so pale, what happened?"
Chen Xueling told the nanny what Mrs. Shen had done, "This old woman is too deceitful, Shen Xiao still doesn't know what to think of me now? Shen Ziqiao is even more difficult to get along with..."
Jin Niang was taken aback, "Seeing that the Shen family is a century-old family, why is this old Mrs. Shen not acting like everyone else, she's so shameless."
"She is shameless, she just wants to force Shen Xiao to submit." Chen Xueling lay down halfway on the long couch, her eyes were slightly closed, a thin layer of frost condensed on her charming face, and there was a hint of calculation in her eyes. The frailty in front of you.
"Miss, what should I do then?" Jinniang asked, she knew that her daughter had always had ideas, and she believed that she already had a solution.
Chen Xueling said faintly, "At Zhou's place, I have already formed a relationship with Shen Ziqiao. It is impossible for her to like me. Shen Xiao is upright and filial to the old lady. Now let's see if the old lady can make him... change his mind. .”
"Why did you have to be serious with Miss Shen early on, you're just an idiot." Jinniang said disapprovingly.
"Idiot?" Chen Xueling sneered, "If I don't get serious with her, how can I get Mrs. Zhou to help me? It's just picking one side that is beneficial to me. If you think Shen Ziqiao is an idiot, it's because you don't know her well. The third lady is... so shrewd. Is she an idiot? I think the rest of the Shen family are idiots, and they can't see through the true face of this third lady."
Jin Niang asked in surprise, "Could it be that she will be the worst person to deal with in the future?"
Chen Xueling lazily changed her posture, looked at her slender and white fingers, and said disdainfully, "Why should I deal with her? She is a daughter who is married out, can I make it difficult for her? We have lived in peace for several years , after she gets married, is it possible that she will go back to Shen's house to argue with me?"
"Miss, you just need to understand." Jin Niang smiled gratifiedly.
There was no smile on Chen Xueling's face, she still felt that this matter was not that simple.
In the house of De'an Courtyard. After Chen Xueling resigned and left, Mrs. Shen finally had a fit. She sat up and pointed at Shen Ziqiao and cursed. "Why are you reassuring? Then how can Miss Liu's family compare with Miss Chen? Do you want to see your father die alone to be at ease?"
"I don't mean that." Shen Ziqiao said lightly, "I'm thinking for you, grandma. Miss Chen looks so much like my mother. You look at her every day, so you can't eat and sleep well. You look at Chen every day. Miss, it's so hard to think about my dead daughter-in-law that you don't like all day long."
"Jiaojiao!" Shen Xiao stopped her, "You are too presumptuous."
Old Mrs. Shen was so angry that she was on the verge of collapse, she was just pretending to be hurt, but now she really felt the pain in her heart. "Get... get her out of here."
"You don't need to hurry, the old lady doesn't like to see me, so I'll just go by myself." Shen Ziqiao said calmly. She still didn't want to be really mad at the old woman, "However, I still want to say, Dad, I don't like that Miss Chen. Even if she looks the same as mother, she is not mother."
finished. She didn't wait for Shen Xiao to speak, she turned around and walked out without even bowing to anyone else.
Shen Xiao suddenly discovered that his daughter who he had always thought hadn't grown up seemed to be changing unconsciously. Such a rebellious temperament was exactly the same as Pan's!
He was full of bitterness, not knowing whether it was joy or worry.
"Mother, let's talk about this later." Shen Xiao said in a low voice, although he was amazed that Chen Xueling looked very similar to Pan's, but he didn't have anyone to marry yet.
What he loves about Mrs. Pan is not her charming face, but her temperament that fits him.
Old Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth and shouted, "Are you really trying to piss me off?"
"Mother, I still have to go to the palace, what's the matter, let's talk about it in a few days." Shen Xiao had no choice but to find an excuse to escape.
"Shi Xiu!" Mrs. Shen shouted, but she only saw Shen Xiao's back coming out of the door.
"I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off!" Mrs. Shen beat her chest, "Their father and daughter are going to piss me off."
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly comforted her, "Old lady, don't be angry, I don't think uncle means that he doesn't want to marry, he was just bluffed by that stinky girl, let's find Brother Kai, the third girl wants to listen to Brother Kai the most." If it’s over, let Brother Kai teach her a lesson.”
If it wasn't for Shen Ziqiao's sudden arrival, Shen Xiao would have agreed to it long ago.
Mrs. Shen was persuaded for a while by Mrs. Zhou, and the anger in her chest calmed down a little, and someone called Shen Zikai over.
At that time, Shen Zikai was going to look for Shen Ziqiao, but when he heard the old lady was looking for him, he had to go to the De'an Academy first.
Before he had time to salute and say hello, Mrs. Shen had already pulled him to sit down, weeping before saying anything, "Brother Kai, grandma can't help it. When your mother was alive, your father didn't like those three Auntie, during the years when your mother was away, how long did your father keep her as a widow? You are the eldest son and grandson of the Shen family. Do you have the heart to watch your father live like an old man? Can you follow her? Originally, it is not up to you juniors to intervene in the affairs of the elders, but your father loves you, and he is used to what Jiaojiao doesn't like... You have to think for him... "
Shen Zikai was a little at a loss, "Grandma, you are... what's going on?"
"Grandmother wants to find another house to fill in for your father." The old lady cried and said, "It's just that your sister doesn't like it."
It's just Chen Xueling that Jiaojiao doesn't like.
Shen Zikai smiled wryly, and even made him worry, "Grandmother, this is father's business, I'm a son, so it's not good to meddle."
How can a son meddle in his father's marriage.
Does this mean that she is unwilling to persuade Shen Ziqiao? Mrs. Shen pushed him away angrily, "Okay, since you say you can't intervene, then you are not allowed to intervene. Who your father marries has nothing to do with you siblings."
Shen Zikai didn't know what old Mrs. Shen wanted to do, so he could only persuade, "Grandmother, if Father likes it, we naturally dare not have any objections."
But if they are forced, of course they are not happy.
Mrs. Shen snorted, "That's all, you go back."
"Grandmother..." Shen Zikai had a bad feeling in his heart, always felt that the old lady was not such an easy-to-count person.
Mrs. Shen was already impatient, "I'm so angry with you that I feel uncomfortable all over, I need to rest for a while."
"The grandson will go down first, grandma, you should rest well." Shen Zikai said.
Coming out of De'an Courtyard, Shen Zikai went directly to Qiao Xin Courtyard.
"Ah? Did the old lady tell you that? What the hell is she trying to do?" Shen Ziqiao couldn't calmly blew up, "She wouldn't want to force her to die, would she? It's thanks to the author for such a vulgar plot."
"If that's the case..." Shen Zikai's expression became serious.
Shen Ziqiao sneered, "Even if she did this, the old lady wouldn't die, how could she be willing to die?"
If she was willing to die, she wouldn't take over her dowry.
"In the end, it depends on father's will. If he doesn't want to marry, no one can force him." Shen Ziqiao said.
Shen Zikai understood the old lady's temperament better than Shen Ziqiao, so she was not optimistic.
After the two brothers and sisters talked, seeing that the sky outside had already darkened, Shen Zikai had no choice but to leave first, and ask his father carefully tomorrow.
Shen Ziqiao was tired all day today, and after being made such a fuss by Mrs. Shen, she felt even more physically and mentally exhausted. After washing and washing, she ate something and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. The next day, she was woken up by Mrs. Meng.
Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Meng and others would not disturb her sleep, not to mention everyone knew how busy she was and tired yesterday, so as soon as Shen Ziqiao opened her eyes, she knew that something must have happened at home.
"What happened to the old lady?" Shen Ziqiao asked the first sentence.
"In the Buddhist hall, they refused to eat, and the eldest master and the eldest young master knelt outside." Mrs. Meng said.
Shen Ziqiao sat up straight slowly, knowing that the old woman would not stop there, she was serious this time.
"Go and see." Did the hunger strike force Shen Xiao to marry Chen Xueling
How can Chen Xueling live a good life after marrying in like this? Would Shen Xiao like the wife who was forced to marry into the door
Oh, this old Mrs. Shen definitely doesn't care, she only cares if someone comes in to suppress her.
When Shen Ziqiao brought Mrs. Meng to the Buddhist hall behind the De'an courtyard, she saw a group of people kneeling outside the Buddhist hall. Shen Xiao and Shen Zikai were kneeling in front, begging the old lady to come out.
really...
Shen Ziqiao had never been so angry before, she really wanted that damn old woman to starve to death.
"Mother, come out and talk if you have something to say." Shen Xiao said.
"Forget it if you let me starve to death!" Madam Shen's angry voice came out.
Shen Ziqiao sneered, to see how long she could stay inside.
But she didn't expect that Mrs. Shen refused to come out until the evening, and she hadn't eaten for a day and a night. Zhou choked up and said that the old lady's health was not good, and she would not be able to support it if she continued like this.
Shen Ziqiao only felt a bone-piercing pain in her knee, and the strength in her whole body was disappearing bit by bit.
She also hasn't eaten for a day.
I heard Shen Xiao say in a buzzing voice, "Mother, come out, my son will listen to you."
Shen Ziqiao sneered, this old woman really put on a good show.
Zhou's hand supporting Mrs. Shen appeared in everyone's sight. In the dim light, she saw Mrs. Shen smiling happily.
In this era when filial piety comes first, Shen Ziqiao has no ability to change anything.
She just underestimated Mrs. Shen's face, to be able to do this to this extent.
(The feeling of not being able to fall asleep is so annoying~~~~)
