Chapter 108: Donger's Growth

"Mom... why are you dead..." Chen Jian staggered to the side of Wu who was lying on the ground, kneeled on the ground, lying on Wu's body and cried loudly. After crying for a while, no one came forward to persuade him, he had to stand up flatteringly and look at everyone present with a vicious look on his face. "Who is it, kill my mother!"

He slowly walked to Chen Wanxin, "Is it you?"

Chen Jian's eyes were already bloodshot and red, as if they were about to pinch Chen Wanxin's slender neck in the next second. Chen Wanxin was not afraid at all. Even if Chen Jian really attacked her, Shi Tou would appear to save her.

"Brother, I'm hanged." Shen Dong'er took a step from the side and stood in front of Shen Wanxin.

"Hanging? Why did my mother suddenly hang herself? Someone must be unfavorable to her." After saying that, she pushed Shen Dong'er aside, "You are still my sister, how can you help this witch speak!"

Shen Dong'er was suddenly pushed by Shen arrow and felt a little unstable in the center of gravity. After she stood firm, she quickly protected Chen Wanxin with her body, "I'll help her speak? When I need help the most, only my sister-in-law helped me."

Seeing that Shen Dong'er vowed to protect Chen Wanxin, Chen Jian no longer wasted time with Chen Wanxin. Anyway, she was not her main target. He asked, "Where are my father and my legitimate mother?" The servant next to him reported that the master and wife were in the front hall and agreed to the burial of Wu's family.

Chen Jian pushed everyone away and came to the front hall. It turned out that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Liu were both here. The two were discussing how to tell outsiders about Wu. When they heard footsteps, they saw that Chen Jian Jian was coming. Mr. Shen's face turned pale, "You still have the face to come back!"

Chen Jian glared at Mr. Shen, "You said, what's wrong with my mother? I was fine before, why did I suddenly commit suicide?"

"How do you kid talk to your father?" Liu used his hands to calm down Master Shen's chest that was rising and falling because of his anger, and said to Chen Jian a little unhappy.

"My mother is dead, do you ask me how I talk?" Chen Jian has always been bored with Liu and is even more unhappy with her.

"You... you unfilial son, I'll ask you, where have you been these days?" Mr. Shen suddenly slapped the table and angrily scolded the sunken arrow.

When Chen Jian heard his father ask him where he was going, he was hesitant. When Master Shen saw Chen Jian not speaking, he snorted, "You have no shame to say where to go. I will tell you that you have been in the smoky place of Baihua Tower! You are not good at studying and doing business, but you are not good at those despicable things without a teacher."

Seeing that Mr. Shen was so unbearable, Chen Jian couldn't hold back when he saw that he was so embarrassed, he hit back, "Father, you are also proficient, why would you marry so many concubines?"

When Mr. Shen heard Chen Jian use himself as an analogy, he became even more angry. Liu stepped forward to persuade Chen Jian, "You should say less, just let your father nag a few words, why are you talking back?"

Chen Jian was already furious. When he heard Liu's words, he suddenly lost his mind and pushed Liu, "You were just a concubine before, so you have to take care of my affairs!"

Why is Liu a woman too? She was pushed hard by Shen Arrow and stepped back in surprise. She was about to hit the table. Mr. Shen stretched out his long arm and held Liu. Mr. Liu fell in Mr. Shen's arms and was still in shock. "It's so dangerous, it doesn't matter if I fell. If so,..." Mrs. Liu looked at her belly.

Mr. Shen suddenly became angry and stared at Shen Arrow like a cow. Shen Arrow knew that he was wrong and muttered in a low voice, "I just pushed it but didn't really hit him."

"You...you...you know that she is pregnant with a child in her belly. What if she is pushed like this? What should I do if she is too old or too old? "

"Didn't you fall?" Chen Jian lowered his head and muttered.

"Look at the good son Wu taught! It's really like insulting my Shen family. From today on, you are not allowed to step out of the gate of Shen Mansion! Think about your mistakes in the house!" Mr. Shen said in anger, he didn't want to look at Shen arrows more.

"What?" Chen Jian was shocked, "This is not possible!"

"What's wrong? I think you have forgotten who has the final say in this family!" Mr. Shen was out of reach. "The person came to escort the sunken arrow to his room. No, escort it to my yard and pack a room for him. He kept a close eye on him for twelve hours. If someone ran away, I'll ask you!"

The servants received the order and immediately suppressed Shen Jian. Shen Jian shouted while walking, "You just died and you treated me like this. You guys and women, you will be retribution!"

When Mr. Shen heard the words from Chen Jian's mouth, he could say that smoke had already appeared. Liu was on the side, and his face was not very good-looking. Chen Jian just called her an aunt, and then said that she was a dog man and a woman... But at this time she could not have an attack, so she had to listen to Chen Jian's scolding more and more unpleasant...

After Chen Jian's voice was completely unable to hear, Liu leaned against Mr. Shen and said quietly, "Master, I am quite worried about Chen Jian. I was so rude to me just now. It's okay to do it at home. When I go outside, I lost the people from Chen Mansion." Mrs. Liu said halfway, looking up at Mr. Shen's expression, "I heard that Chen Jian has already owed a lot of money in Baihua Building. A few months ago, I had sent someone to Chen Mansion to ask for money. When I saw that the amount was huge, it was as much as 5,000 taels..."

"What! Five thousand taels?" Mr. Shen heard that the sunken arrow actually owed so much silver in the fireworks land, and fire broke out in both eyes.

"Yes, I went to tell Wu that she would pay the money. She said she had no money and would have to pay it back after Shen Dong'er got married. The person sent by Baihualou was also Kong Wu, which was not easy to provoke. There was no way, so I had to raise five hundred taels, which was the interest to send them..." Liu did not pay the money for Chen Jian. At that time, Wu took his dowry and paid the interest. Seeing that Wu could no longer speak, Liu pressed his name on himself.

Mr. Shen looked at Liu in surprise, "What money did you use?"

"The master ordered me to be a housekeeper. How dare I use the money from the Chen family? I just used my own dowry money. I pawned some jewelry before I could collect enough interest." Liu said lies and said nothing, "Who told Chen Jian to be the child of the Shen family."

Mr. Shen looked at Liu in his arms with care, "It's a great blessing for me to have a wife like you... I'm not allowed to use my dowry to supplement it in the future. I will order the account to take out a thousand taels of silver notes and send it to you later."

"Thank you, Master." Liu asked for a salute, and Master Shen hugged her.

"You are now pregnant, and these complicated etiquettes can be avoided. What do doctors say about your belly? Why is your belly not swelling?"

When Mrs. Liu heard Mrs. Shen suddenly ask about her belly, she was a little panicked, "The doctor said everything was fine, but the doctor said that my body is weak now, and the child is getting a little slower, and it will be better in a while."

Mr. Shen nodded and told Liu to make more supplements.

"Master, there is another thing that I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"What's the matter, just say it."

"It's the Shen Arrow. It's not a long-term solution to him. It's better to let him join the army. It can train himself and save some miscellaneous taxes for the Shen Mansion. Master, you see, Chen Qiang, just came back from the military camp and now he has become an official in the court. I thought that if Shen Arrow could still find a job, the Shen family's water transportation will be invincible in Beiliang in the future."

After hearing this, Mr. Shen scraped Liu's nose with his hands, "You are still thoughtful, just do what you said."

Liu lowered his head and smiled without saying a word. Now the third concubine and Shen Jian have been eliminated, and now Shen Dong'er is the only one left, but Shen Dong'er lives with Chen Wanxin now, which is quite difficult to get rid of.

That afternoon, the news that Chen Jian was going to join the army had spread throughout the Chen Mansion, and Zhuyuan also received the news.

Shen Dong'er felt that this was a good thing. Chen Jian was ignorant since he was a child, and no one could discipline him. If he did not restrain him, it would soon lead to a disaster. However, the last relative in the Shen Mansion also left Shen Dong'er. Not only did she feel a little sad, but she had no way to compete with Jiang with her current ability, and she had no mother, so she decided to marry her completely in the hands of Liu. Instead of doing this, she would rather tie her hair and be a sister-in-law.

After dinner, she came to Chen Wanxin's room to discuss the matter with her. Chen Wanxin felt that it made sense after listening to Shen Dong'er's statement. Shen Dong'er's existence is quite tricky. On the one hand, it is not conducive to Chen Wanxin's actions, and some things have to be carried on her. On the other hand, Chen Wanxin dared not easily draw a conclusion whether Shen Dong'er is someone she can trust.

"Since you have this idea, it's not a waste of a good thing. Where do you want to leave the Chen Mansion?" Chen Wanxin asked. Although Shen Dong'er is just a concubine of the Shen family, she is also a member of the Shen family.

"I haven't thought about this. My sister knows many people in the capital and has a wide range of knowledge. Can you help me find out if there is a school for girls like me in other places?" Shen Dong'er was also embarrassed. She had always wanted something about Chen Wanxin and threatened her to help her get rid of Jiang's family.

"If you ask, there is no problem with this. I will go to someone to ask tomorrow, but when do you want to leave?" Wan Xin thought of Manager Meng of Yunlai Inn. I believe Manager Meng will know this little thing.

Tomorrow is the day when Wu's family is buried. Mr. Shen didn't look at any auspicious days at all, and just wanted to bury Wu's family as soon as possible. Shen Dong'er begged Mr. Shen for a long time, and Mr. Shen agreed to allow Wu's tablet to be placed in the Shen family's ancestral hall.

"I can leave after my mother is buried tomorrow. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will mourn my mother for three years..." Shen Dong'er no longer had any souvenirs for the Shen family. She just wanted to learn some skills as soon as possible and avenge her mother after she finished her studies.

Chen Wanxin also understood what Shen Donger was thinking. She had even thought about it that even after she took action against Liu, she would leave Jiang to settle for Shen Donger...

"Sister Dong'er, my sister is asking you once, do you really don't know what your mother said to me?" Chen Wanxin asked again about the death of her mother.

Shen Dong'er looked at Chen Wanxin, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke again and again, "My sister, my grade is younger than you. When your mother passed away, I was not born yet. I also overheard this."

"Who overheard the conversation with whom?" Chen Wanxin asked excitedly.

"It was my mother's conversation with Liu. I can't remember the specific conversation content. I was only six or seven years old at that time. I remember one day, Liu came to my mother's place. I didn't know what they talked about. At that time, I was playing in the yard and heard my mother say to Liu in anger, "Don't think that no one knows what you did. Did the ex-wife really die of illness? You can hide it from the master but I can't hide it from me. Then Liu was also very excited and said to my mother in a loud voice, don't think that you were so confident that you gave birth to a child and a daughter. You were talking nonsense that I made you have nothing. Then their voices lowered, and I heard nothing." Shen Dong'er recalled everything, learning everything she saw and heard back then to Wanxin.

Chen Wanxin looked very serious. She had long been suspicious of her mother's death. Unexpectedly, her mother's death was really hard to get rid of the evil woman Liu!

"Thank you Dong'er, tell me this..."

"Sister-in-law, is it because your mother's death was not an accident? It was artificial?" Shen Dong'er's mind is very different from before. When she recalled the words she had said before, she also felt that there were great doubts.

Chen Wanxin smiled bitterly, "It's been so long since the matter has been going on, it will definitely be difficult to investigate. I heard from your third aunt that when my mother passed away, all the maids around her were sold, that is, the people who had experienced it at that time were gone."

"My sister-in-law, don't be discouraged. No matter how big the difficulties are, as long as you have confidence, you will find out the truth. If, if your mother is really killed by Liu, then you must avenge your mother!" Shen Dong'er held Chen Wanxin's hand and told her firmly.

Chen Wanxin smiled bitterly in his heart. It was easy to say, but it was difficult to check it out. However, Chen Wanxin would not give up. Her purpose in this life was to take revenge. If her mother was really killed by Liu, she would definitely let Liu pay her blood debt!

"Dong'er, I heard that your elder brother is going to the military camp in less than a few days. Do you want to say goodbye to him?" The fact is really unpredictable. In just a few days, all the relatives around Shen Dong'er left her.

Shen Dong'er shook her head. She was already heartbroken about Chen Jian and didn't say anything about him at all. At present, her only wish is to become stronger. It would be great if she could be as strong as her legitimate sister. Even if she is not as outstanding as her legitimate sister, it would be great to be half as good as her legitimate sister.

Chen Wanxin didn't know what Dong'er was thinking now, but she thought that a girl was a person who had experienced the discomfort of family love leaving. After all, she had experienced such a thing, and this was the first time Shen Dong'er. "It's getting late, so you go to bed early. My sister promised you, and I'll do it tomorrow."

"Thank you, my sister." Shen Dong'er's eyes flashed like stars, "You are the only one in the Shen family who treats me the best."

The next day, Wu was buried in a hurry. Shen Dong'er looked at Wu who was buried without shedding a single tear. She told Mr. Shen that she wanted to go out to study. Mr. Shen agreed without hesitation. The mother and son were the three of them. Mr. Shen was very tired of seeing it, and he wished that they would go far and would not come back.

Chen Wanxin also came to Yunlai Inn as he said yesterday, looking for shopkeeper Meng and asked Dong'er about studying.
