Seeing Mrs. Shen's smile that finally made her wish come true, Shen Ziqiao didn't stand up and raise objections.
She knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, as long as she spoke out against it, she would immediately be branded unfilial, and she might just fall into the old woman's trap and drive her to some unknown place.
"Let's go back." Seeing the crowd crowding Mrs. Shen back to the De'an Courtyard, Shen Ziqiao didn't want to pretend to be a filial grandson anymore. She was pulled by Shen Zixin to kneel all day, and now she was hungry and tired, she wanted to go back After eating and sleeping, I have the strength to find a way to disturb Huang's marriage.
Lady Meng supported Shen Ziqiao, and said softly, "Master, maybe it's just a stopgap measure."
Are you afraid that she will do something? Shen Ziqiao smiled, "It's an expedient measure, and he really doesn't want to refuse it."
What is she in this family that even Shen Zikai can't stop? What can I do to stop it.
She can only be thankful that at least this Chen Xueling was not found by Sheng Peiyin.
"Miss San." Mrs. Meng looked at her with pity.
If Chen Xueling is allowed to come in, I'm afraid that Miss San's life will be even more difficult than before.
Shen Ziqiao smiled and said, "What we should think about is how to let the old lady return all the things my mother left behind before Chen Xueling came in."
Looking at Shen Ziqiao who was still smiling at this time and hadn't forgotten her purpose, Mrs. Meng laughed, "Hey, let's go back and think about it."
It wasn't that Shen Ziqiao had already agreed to Shen Xiao marrying Chen Xueling, as long as she thought about calling that woman her mother in the future, she felt more disgusting than swallowing ten thousand flies.
She was tired and didn't want to waste time with a dead old woman.
After returning to Qiaoxinyuan, Shen Ziqiao washed up, ate something and fell asleep.
I didn't wake up until noon the next day.
"Miss San, the Elder Master sent someone over to let you go to his study." Hongyu combed Shen Ziqiao's hair. Tell her how many times Shen Xiao sent someone to come.
Shen Ziqiao's eyes moved slightly, and she said in a low voice, "I went back to my father and said that I was not feeling well and wanted to have a good rest."
"Why do you have to be angry with the Eldest Master? The Elder Master is forced... already very unhappy." Lady Meng walked in, and sighed when she heard Shen Ziqiao's words.
"He is unhappy, and I am even more unhappy. Doesn't he know the old lady? I don't know that the old lady is more afraid of death than anyone else. Will she really go on a hunger strike? Cut." Shen Ziqiao said disdainfully.
Lady Meng also despises the old lady's behavior, but she just can't show it, "Then what are you going to do? Just continue to stalemate with the old man like this?"
"We'll talk about it in a few days." Shen Ziqiao said.
When Chen Xueling knew that Mrs. Shen had finally forced Shen Xiao to agree to marry her. I was both angry and happy in my heart. The angry thing was that after the old lady did this, it would be extremely difficult for Shen Xiao to treat her well in the future. The happy thing was that this marriage could finally be finalized, and she didn't have to become an old aunt who couldn't get married. .
She bid farewell to Mrs. Shen the next day. He set off and returned to Chen's house.
He planned to go home and wait for the Shen family's marriage proposal.
When the servants came back to report about Shen Ziqiao, Shen Ziqiao just smiled and didn't respond.
After two days like this, Shen Ziqiao didn't stay at home, but rumors gradually started to spread outside.
The news that Mrs. Shen refused to return to Shen Ziqiao the dowry left by Mrs. Pan to her daughter somehow spread, and now everyone in the capital knows that Mrs. Shen is thinking about her daughter-in-law's dowry. Still refused to return to granddaughter.
All of a sudden, Mrs. Shen's background that was not on the stage was pulled out again, and everyone was talking about this old lady who was not a famous lady. They are all acting petty, which really embarrasses the Shen family.
This was kept secret by the members of the Shen family, and no one dared to spread it to the old lady's ears, fearing that she would be pissed to death.
For two days, Shen Ziqiao was unwilling to see Shen Xiao. But after she heard the rumor, she was so happy that she laughed for a long time. "I don't know who passed it on. Oh, it's so cool."
Meng Niangzi and others also felt very puzzled, who would spread such words at this time.
Could it be the young master
Shen Ziqiao also thought of Shen Zikai, so she quickly regained her energy, and stopped shouting about being tired and in pain. After calling Shen Zikai, the two arrived at the Dean Hospital together.
"Grandmother, since my father is going to marry and fill the house, in order to avoid any conflicts in the future, you should return my mother's dowry to me first." Without tactful polite words, let alone any gentle flattery, Shen Ziqiao is paying her respects. Afterwards, he expressed his future intentions clearly.
Old Mrs. Shen was complacent and finally got her son to agree to marry Chen Xueling, and planned to thwart Shen Ziqiao's arrogance, but before she had time to extinguish her arrogance, Shen Ziqiao made her fall backwards with anger.
"What dowry is not a dowry, you think that a girl who has not left the court would not be ashamed to raise a dowry all day long." Mrs. Shen said angrily.
"Grandmother, don't pretend to be confused. Is it possible that you plan to hand over my dowry to Chen Xueling for safekeeping? Are you kidding me? Are you afraid that my mother will chat with her in the middle of the night?" Shen Ziqiao said, "We still want to bet and admit defeat." , I have taken care of the house smoothly, and the store has not lost money, should you return my things to me?"
"She is your mother after she enters the door, and it's only natural to keep the dowry for you." Mrs. Shen said coldly.
Shen Ziqiao looked at the ruddy old lady mockingly, "Grandmother, you hate my mother so much, and you still take what my mother left me, why don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! If I wasn't afraid that you would be fooled, I would have guarded your dowry with all my heart?" Mrs. Shen said angrily.
Shen Ziqiao felt very boring, she was really tired of making trouble with the old woman here.
"I've grown up, don't bother you." She said lightly.
"You brothers and sisters forced me to come today?" Mrs. Shen asked with a sneer.
Shen Zikai saluted, and said in a deep voice, "Grandmother, what Jiaojiao said is that in order to avoid future conflicts, let her keep the dowry herself."
Even if he is scolded for being unfilial, he still wants to get back his own things for Jiaojiao, he can't let his sister be wronged in the future.
"That's right, the old lady is being talked about outside now, lest Chen Xueling be talked about after entering the door in the future, how embarrassing it is, one time is enough." Shen Ziqiao said.
"What are they talking about me?" Mrs. Shen said with a sullen face, she couldn't believe how people outside could talk about her.
Shen Ziqiao gasped in surprise, "Don't you know, old madam? Everyone is saying that you robbed your daughter-in-law's dowry, and I don't know who spread it. It's nonsense. You are keeping it for me. How could it be?" It's a robbery."
Hearing his sister's feigned surprise, the corners of Shen Zikai's mouth twitched unconsciously.
Mother Li cried anxiously, "Miss San, you can't listen to outsiders, but don't talk nonsense in front of the old lady."
"It's all from the outside, it's none of my business." Shen Ziqiao laughed.
"What do people outside say?" Mrs. Shen asked sarcastically, she knew that many people looked down on her background, they were just talking about her background.
Shen Ziqiao was about to tell the rumors that were circulating outside, when she heard the servant girl report that it was the elder who came.
"So lively?" Shen Xiao walked in, saw a couple of children there, thought they were here to greet the old lady, said with a smile, looked at Shen Ziqiao who lowered her head, and sighed secretly from the bottom of her heart.
"You two good sons and daughters are coming to collect debts from me." Mrs. Shen said sarcastically.
As soon as Shen Xiao heard it, he understood why Shen Zikai and the others had come, and actually bypassed himself and directly asked the old lady for Pan's things.
Is it because I want to marry again, so that they no longer believe in him? Think he won't think about them
Shen Xiao felt very lost.
"Mother, I think that Jiaojiao is getting older and has the ability to take care of her mother's things. Why don't you just let her go..."
Mrs. Shen interrupted him angrily, "Are you trying to piss me off too? A girl who hasn't left the cabinet, who would get her own dowry? Are you trying to make people laugh that I can't even teach my own granddaughter?"
I didn't teach it well! Are you afraid that people outside will laugh? Shen Ziqiao satirized in her heart.
"Grandmother refuses to return the dowry to me, isn't it afraid that the Pan family will find out and think that you are looking for something? Don't my grandparents come to ask for it, and people outside will not know how to arrange you." Shen Ziqiao She smiled and said that no matter how much she pretended to be filial, she was still unfilial in the eyes of this old woman, so she simply stopped pretending and did what she wanted.
When Mrs. Shen heard her mentioning the Pan family, the smile on her face became mocking and disdainful, "If the old master of the Pan family speaks, I'm not afraid that you will destroy these things, then I will return them to you immediately."
"Grandmother keeps her word?" Shen Zikai asked immediately.
Back then when Shen Ziqiao drove Aunt Pan's family out, the Pan family had ignored her for so many years, so how could they come forward to ask for her dowry back? Mrs. Shen firmly believed that the Pan family had already ignored Shen Ziqiao, "It's a matter of course."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cui Liu hurried in, "Lady, the Pan family...the old master of the Pan family is here."
Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Xiao were taken aback at the same time, and their eyes swept to the two brothers and sisters who looked normal.
Did they already know
Shen Zikai said, "Grandfather is here? Jiaojiao, let's go to meet grandfather together."
"Okay." Shen Ziqiao responded with a smile. She had been curious about the Pan family for a long time, and finally she could meet them.
However, having said that, she really didn't know that the old man of the Pan family would come by such a coincidence. She had decided to fight the old woman today even if she wanted to die.
It was Shen Zikai's performance that made her feel very fresh.
He didn't seem to care about being called unfilial, and he lost the respect he had before towards Shen Xiao, as if... only she was his relative.
If Shen Xiao really remarried, in the Shen family, only Shen Ziqiao would be Shen Zikai's closest relative.
Shen Xiao was also in doubt at this time, he was very sure that the father-in-law would not come here because he wanted to marry again, Dongyue was at least half a month away from the capital, and it was only three days ago that he agreed to marry again.
Then why did Mrs. Pan come to the capital
He looked at the pair of children who had already walked out, and suddenly felt sour.
(I haven’t had a good rest these days, and I’m out of shape. Jiaojiao should leave Shen’s house in two days. I’m also annoyed by this old woman, but the plot requires it, so I have to write about her~~~~)
