Chapter 104 Accident
When the old lady heard that Han Rou had won the case, she looked disbelief: "Well, did she spend money to bribe Jingzhao Mansion? She took out the dowry voluntarily, why should she take them all back?"
Shen Zhifeng looked at somewhere empty, not knowing what he was thinking, but after a long time he replied: "Our Duke's Mansion has declined, but the General's Mansion is still in its prime. Jingzhao Prefecture, haha, I think it must be the one who is in the General's Mansion."
"What should I do? There is nowhere to get the money from our Duke's Mansion?" The old lady turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and scolded Han thousands of times in her heart: "If I had known that Han was so stingy, I wouldn't have let you marry her back then."
Shen Zhifeng sneered: "Money, no money! Don't forget that her daughter Chen Qingyun is still in the Duke's Mansion."
The old lady nodded: "The girl is about to go to bed. Now that her marriage is all in our hands, it is a chance to turn things around. If Han dares to come and ask for money, don't blame us for being polite."
On the second day, Shen Zhifeng did not wait for the Han family, but waited for the announcement of suspension.
Yesterday's incident has spread throughout Kyoto, and the memorials of the Censor Shen Zhifeng have piled up like snowflakes, all of which are on the emperor's desk.
The emperor shook his head. At that time, the old man was very successful but he retreated bravely. He took the initiative to hand over the military power and arranged a leisurely and stable position for Shen Zhifeng, in order to protect his only son who had no achievements in life, and also married him the daughter of Han Rou, the general, for him, but Shen Zhifeng did not know how to cherish it at all.
If it weren't for the promise to the old man, Shen Zhifeng wouldn't have been suspended. With a big stroke, the emperor asked the Minister of Revenue to allocate a batch of silver to subsidize military use, which was considered to be some comfort to General Han.
Shen Zhifeng had never imagined this level. He scolded Han Rou as a devastating star at home and smashed a lot of vases in anger.
The manager was anxious when he watched, but he didn't dare to go forward to persuade him, and he didn't dare to remind the master that there were not many expensive vases at home.
Compared to Shen Zhifeng, there is another person in the Shen Mansion who is even more worried, that is, meditation.
Now Chen Sisi's identity has been revealed. To put it nicely, she is still Shen Zhifeng's daughter, but she suddenly turns from the eldest daughter to the concubine. It's even more ugly. She is not even a concubine's daughter. The daughter in the outer room is just a traitor and a child. It is a blessing to be able to stay in the Duke's mansion, but her status is still awkward.
Her courtyard was even more deserted all of a sudden. After all, if a servant meets her, how can he shout?
But what worried her even more was the attitude of the Marquis of Jiang’s Mansion.
Even if Jiang Lin is still willing to marry her, what about Mrs. Jiang? If she loses the marriage from the Marquis’ Mansion, she really doesn’t know where to go now.
As her eldest maid, Hongyu naturally was in trouble. She sighed every day, fearing that she would be implicated by meditation, so she would not be much better. A maid had lost her virginity to Jiang Lin. If she could not go to Jiang Hou’s Mansion, she would be hopeless in this life.
Unexpectedly, there was a quarrel broke out in the Marquis of Jiang's mansion.
Mrs. Jiang Hou advised him earnestly: "Lin'er, what's the point of Chen Si Si Si? Her identity is not worthy of you at all. Please follow me to the Duke's Mansion to retire. There will be so many women in Kyoto from now on, which one is not better than her."
Jiang Miaodan also directly agreed: "My good brother, you are the prince of the Marquis's family and have such a good appearance. You really don't have to hang yourself on Shen Sisi's tree."
Jiang Lin frowned and was embarrassed: "Miaodan, don't you have a good relationship with Sisi? You have always hoped that she can be your sister-in-law, and now you say that."
"Brother." Jiang Miaodan pouted and stamped his feet: "Can it be the same in the past today?"
In the past, Chen Sisi was the eldest daughter of Duke Chen's mansion and Han Rou's daughter. She was also very talented and famous, so she was gentle and friendly to her. The relationship between the two was naturally passionate. But now Chen Sisi is to have a traitor and give birth to a daughter. It would be so embarrassing to have such a sister-in-law.
"Lin'er, look at you, you can tell your sister well." Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she hated the iron-clad thoughts even more. She actually confused her son so much that she married her.
"Mom, no matter what else, the engagement has been decided, and the Geng Tie has also been exchanged. As many people watched, Duke Chen's mansion was at the forefront. Do you want others to say that I am like Duke Shen, a kind-hearted man who is as hypocritical and unswerving to promise?" Jiang Lin shook his sleeves and sat on the chair next to him angrily.
Jiang Miaodan and Mrs. Jiang Hou looked at each other, and Jiang Miaodan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "How can this be the same?"
Mrs. Jiang Hou sighed and thought of a compromise: "Let's do this, everyone knows that our two families have made a engagement, but now that the matter is suddenly happening, I will welcome the thoughtful and contempt as a concubine. If you say it, it will be considered merciful."
Jiang Lin hesitated, but Mrs. Jiang decided: "Son, this is my last bottom line. The future princess of our Marquis' Mansion will not seek wealth or honor, but at least you must be honest. You must not defame the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise you will be able to see the Marquis' Mansion in the future."
After much persuasion, Jiang Lin agreed. Although he felt wronged Sisi, Sisi's identity is indeed embarrassing now. Even if he is a concubine, his status is low, but his affection will not be low.
Sisi is so gentle, she should be able to consider him, after all, she has to take the overall situation into consideration.
Mrs. Jiang was afraid that Jiang Lin would change his mind again, so she went straight to the Duke's Mansion and found the old lady that afternoon.
Chen Sisi came because she was extremely worried. She hurriedly sent Hongyu to stare at Yansongtang and reported to her any news. She changed into a plain dress and threw some powder on her face. Her originally haggard face turned pale and stayed in the yard to wait for news.
Hongyu quietly went to Yansongtang, and Mrs. Jiang Hou and the old lady were just talking.
Mrs. Jiang tried to hold the corner of her eyes with a veil: "Hey, this is something that no one wants to see. But old lady, you also understand that our Marquis' Mansion has its own difficulties. I feel sorry for Sisi's child, but I really can't be the prince's concubine."
The old lady felt nervous, her eyes filled with anger and sadness. Unexpectedly, in her lifetime, a devastating wife of the Marquis's Mansion would dare to pretend in front of her.
She closed her eyes and turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, and after a long time she spoke: "Madam, please say anything."
