Chapter 54 Dilemma
"Dad, look at you, you're still here, and Aunt Chen is so impertinent and rude. It's obvious that she doesn't take you seriously!"
Shen Xitong was really about to be angry to death. Aunt Chen didn't even have any children. She was just a lackey who depended on Bai Ying. How could she have the confidence to offend them?
I'm afraid that the number of times Shen Chuanhe went to Aunt Chen's courtyard this year can be counted on one hand. Shen Chuanhe has never taken this woman seriously, let alone taken her to heart.
"Okay, Tong'er, there are so many people here, it will make things difficult for your father."
Aunt Liu pretended to be magnanimous, as if she didn't want to care about this matter, but she acted weak and innocent to the fullest. With such an attitude, how could Shen Chuanhe not care?
"This is our fate, we just need to accept it. As for those insults and false accusations, we should just listen to them and don't take them to heart."
The more Aunt Liu spoke, the sadder she became. She tightly grasped Shen Chuanhe's hand, as if she had used up all her strength, "Master, I have been with you for many years and have never asked for anything, whether it is fame or wealth. I just hope to be with you, and I will be satisfied."
Aunt Liu had no shame in saying such things in public. Aunt Chen shuddered as she heard these words.
"But I gave birth to a pair of children for you, Master. They are both so smart and cute. I am willing to bear everything, but I don't want them to suffer any injustice. They are your own flesh and blood, but because of me, their talents are buried. If they are looked down upon, it would be a great sin for me."
Aunt Liu sees through what kind of person Shen Chuanhe is: incompetent, suspicious and conceited. He always thinks he is a very powerful person, but he is limited in both his life and his work. If it were not for chance, he might not have achieved anything in his life and could only live under the shadow of others.
But Shen Chuanhe's wife is Bai Ying, who comes from a good family and is proud and unwilling to bow her head. Therefore, Shen Chuanhe particularly likes Aunt Liu, who is willing to be humble and submissive by his side. This greatly satisfies his self-esteem as a man. Moreover, over the years, the two of them have been supporting each other and their friendship is extraordinary.
After hearing what Aunt Liu said, Shen Chuanhe looked at Bai Ying, Aunt Chen and Shen Qingyu as if they were enemies, and immediately thought that they were here to bully Aunt Liu.
"Ling'er, don't worry, I'm here to protect you." Shen Chuanhe hugged Aunt Liu in his arms to comfort her. When he looked at other people, his eyes were like ice, making people feel cold in their hearts.
In this way, it seems that the relationship between Shen Chuanhe and Aunt Liu is unwavering and no one can interfere. Bai Ying, as Shen Chuanhe's legal wife, seems redundant and ridiculous.
Aunt Chen was beside Bai Ying and quickly supported Bai Ying. She knew in her heart that the Madam still had some feelings for the Master, otherwise she would not have been angry with that bitch Aunt Liu for so many years. She was afraid that the scene just now must have dealt a great blow to the Madam.
Unlike her, she has never thought about any favors over the years, let alone having any offspring. She was originally a maid beside Bai Ying, so naturally she was on the same page with Bai Ying. When Bai Ying was pregnant, she didn't want all the favors to be taken by Concubine Liu, so she stepped forward and became a concubine.
She did keep Shen Chuanhe for a period of time, but Aunt Chen knew in her heart that a man's love was the most unreliable, and the only person she would be loyal to was Bai Ying.
Shen Qingyu looked at the scene in front of her, and sighed silently in her heart, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, those sayings passed down from generation to generation do have some truth in the end. Isn't this demonstrated vividly in her biological father?
He seems to be deeply in love with Concubine Liu, but in the backyard of the Shen Mansion, apart from Bai Ying, the main wife, and Concubine Liu, his childhood sweetheart, there are so many concubines in this mansion. Are they prepared for the two sons, Shen Youhong and Shen Youxing?
But why did Bai Ying fall for Shen Chuanhe? Given Bai Ying's status, there were so many outstanding young men from aristocratic families that she could choose from, let alone in Jinling Prefecture. But she chose to marry into the Shen family and has been bullied by concubines for so many years.
She had heard that Shen Chuanhe was able to secure the position of head of the family because of Bai Ying's financial and human support. Although husband and wife are one body, if she had not married into such a family, she would not have to suffer such hardships and pain.
After Shen Chuanhe became the head of the Shen family, he never took Bai Ying seriously. After Aunt Liu was welcomed into the family, she became pregnant earlier than the mistress, making Bai Ying lose face in the Jinling mansion.
By the way, she also heard that the reason why Shen Chuanhe was anxious to welcome Aunt Liu into the house was because the two of them were pregnant. According to the date of Shen Xitong's birth, it was even before Bai Ying entered the house.
Bai Ying fell deeply in love with such an unworthy man and could never get out of it. She suffered the consequences for so many years and felt sad.
Bai Ying couldn't do anything to Aunt Liu who was protected by Shen Chuanhe, so couldn't she deal with others?
"Liu Yiping, do you agree or disagree with what Dong Xi said?!"
Bai Ying yelled, venting all her anger on Liu Yiping, "You are so bold that you even dare to think about my daughter. If you hadn't recognized the wrong person today, I'm afraid you would have made a big mistake. You have evil intentions and want to ruin my daughter's reputation and destroy the Shen family's reputation. What exactly are you thinking?!"
"Madam is right. How can a legitimate daughter of our Shen family be insulted by such a lowly person?"
Aunt Chen doesn't care what Shen Chuanhe thinks. Even if his face is as black as the bottom of a pot, she will still stand on Bai Ying's side as always, instead of coaxing this unfaithful man.
Things have come to such a point, either blaming Liu Yiping or involving Aunt Liu. Shen Chuanhe is really annoyed, but Bai Ying just won't let go and won't understand his hard work at all.
But if Liu Yiping had an affair with an ordinary maid, it would be fine and he could have been dealt with. A maid was insignificant, but Shen Qingyu was involved. After all, she was his daughter. Bai Ying spoke so righteously, so as a father, could he really turn a blind eye?
Then where is his dignity as the head of the family?
But if she believed the maid's words and punished Liu Yiping, it would definitely hurt Aunt Liu's heart. But if she turned a blind eye, how could Bai Ying let it go? If the matter became a big deal, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Shen family?
I was really in a dilemma and couldn't make up my mind.
