When Shen Xining stepped in, she just heard Shen cursing here. She smiled and clapped her hands. Her clapping was very loud, and the sound was loud enough for everyone in the yard to hear.
Shen's expression changed, and she stared straight at Shen Xining, as if she wanted to kill her with her eyes.
"What are you doing here!?"
Shen Xining curled his lips.
"Mother, you must be joking. If I hadn't come today, how could I have seen Mother's drama? How could I have seen Mother lose her temper? Didn't Mother come out of that hellhole today? Why is she so angry now?"
Shen sneered and looked at Shen Xining, obviously not believing that she would be so kind.
The maid behind Shen Xining brought in the flowers. These were Shen's favorite peonies, symbolizing her supreme love and status.
"Mother, these are your favorite flowers. Your daughter specially asked someone to get some. Mother, don't worry about what I will do in there. After all, I'm not that stupid. Mother, you should keep these people around you. Otherwise, when new people come in, I'm afraid you won't even have anyone to talk to."
Shen gritted her teeth.
"Shen Xining, what is your purpose for coming here today? Are you here just to laugh at my joke? Shen Xining, who do you think you are? How dare you treat me like this! Shen Xining, I..."
Shen Xining turned back suddenly.
"Hush, mother, don't panic. I don't dare to do anything to you. Don't worry. I'm not that stupid. I just hope you can live well."
After Shen Xining finished speaking, he took two steps back, bowed respectfully, and smiled.
"Mother, I hope you can take good care of yourself. I have sent you my blessing today. I will not lecture you any more. Please take a good rest."
After Shen Xining and Chun Xing walked out, Chun Xing looked at Shen Xining with a little confusion.
"Miss, why do you treat her like this? The words you just said were from the bottom of your heart and were good to her. If it were me, I would be lucky not to add insult to injury now."
"But sometimes, despite your kindness, some people are so stupid that they can't understand your intentions."
Shen Xining did not respond to Chun Xing's doubts, but just smiled. Not long after the two returned, they heard that Shen had thrown out all the flowers that Shen Xining had sent. Shen had originally only planned to punish the two maids, but now she actually dealt with all the maids.
Although Mr. Shen felt that this incident was a bit outrageous, and when he heard that this was the result of Shen Xining's visit, he was a little dissatisfied, but after thinking about it for a while, he waved his hand.
"Whatever, let the Shen family mistress go. The people behind her are the crown princess and the crown prince. We dare not mess with such big shots."
The servant lowered his head and could tell that Mr. Shen was mocking himself and was angry.
"That lady has been clamoring to see you. What do you think we should do?"
Father Shen pursed his lips.
"If you don't want to see her, just say I'm sick and can't see her."
The servant nodded. When he told Shen the news, Shen was leaning on the couch with her hand on her forehead. She frowned and wanted to call her personal maid to come and rub her forehead, but she didn't expect that after calling for a long time, no one came.
"Where are the people? Where have they gone!?"
The servant's voice sounded just at the right moment.
"Madam, you have sold out all the people in your courtyard. You can find some more useful maids and servants in the future. The master said that since you are still the mistress of the Shen family, your monthly salary will be calculated according to the previous price. You don't need to calculate too much."
When Shen saw that the person coming was a servant, her eyes instantly brightened.
"How is it, Master? What did he say? Is he angry with me? Why doesn't he come to see me now? Did you go and tell Master that I was wrong and asked him not to be angry with me? Did he listen to you?"
The servant's face was a little embarrassed. Shen pointed her finger at the servant fiercely, her face full of disgust.
"Why didn't you say anything? You look down on me too, don't you? Don't you!?"
The servant's face changed suddenly.
"Madam, you'd better not say this in this mansion in the future. Since everyone in your courtyard has been sold out by you, and there are only a few people left in the courtyard, just treat the past events as if they never happened. Why do you have to tie yourself up in knots?"
Shen widened her eyes, wishing she could slap the boy in front of her.
"What do you mean by that!? You look down on me too, don't you!? Don't you!?"
The servant grabbed her wrist, and although he was still in a low position, his tone was fierce.
"Take care, Madam. No one in this world is born to be lowly. Everyone has their own status and position and things they need to do well. Madam, since you have done such a shameful thing and given up your own wealth and glory, why do you still need to pursue the so-called respectability? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Shen's face looked ashen. The servant delivered the message and then turned and left.
Shen's chess game was both a life and a death.
If she only liked the splendor and dignity of the Shen family, as long as she could handle it and didn't expect the love of Shen's father, then she would be living happily in this courtyard. But on the contrary, if she couldn't handle it and had to expect the love of Shen's father, and had to rely on her ability to throw a tantrum like today in exchange for Shen's father's attention, then wouldn't she be narrowing her own path!
Even the servant can understand this truth. If Shen can't figure it out, then let her do as she pleases.
After Shen watched the servant leave, she collapsed to the ground, looking at the gate of the courtyard, her eyes full of despair. What should she do with her future life!? Isn't it a dead end!
But what Shen never expected was that her miserable life was just a small beginning. Later, Shen Xining would let them see with their own eyes how she narrowed her life path step by step.
Shen Xining wanted her to see, and Shen Xiyao to see with her own eyes, how they made her more and more miserable. Only then could Shen Xining really know from Shen's mouth how she viewed the matter of killing her mother.
