Chapter 51 Looking Up
"It's Qing Yu."
When they saw Shen Qingyu appear, everyone had different expressions.
Shen Chuanhe was obviously relieved. After all, Shen Ruyan was standing by and watching him closely. If Shen Qingyu really did something immoral, it would be because of his lax management of the household. He would definitely give his eldest sister something to hold against him.
No matter whether Shen Qingyu was drowned in a pond, or she was ordained as a nun, or married into the Liu family, if people heard what happened today, it would become a laughing stock of the Shen family in Jinling Prefecture, and would become a topic of conversation among people after dinner. There was no guarantee that he would not be criticized in the back when he went out in the future.
This scene was seen by the dignified and generous Shen Xitong, with a strong hatred hidden under her long eyelashes.
how could be?
That bitch Shen Qingyu was actually fine. They had fallen into her trap and were afraid that today's events would not end well.
Shen Xitong's beautiful eyes stared at Shen Qingyu, her heart full of resentment. Why, the woman kneeling on the ground at this time should be Shen Qingyu, she should wag her tail and beg for mercy in front of everyone like a dog, crying and begging her!
Aunt Liu bit her teeth almost to pieces, with a forced smile on her face. She gently patted Shen Chuanhe's arm and leaned forward unconsciously, "Master, it's the Second Miss. God bless you. It turns out that the Second Miss is fine. This is a great joy."
Aunt Chen added at the right time, "Why did it seem to me that some people were hoping that something bad would happen to the Second Young Miss?"
From the moment Shen Qingyu appeared, Aunt Liu had been holding her breath, and she was so irritated by Aunt Chen's sarcasm that she almost died.
"This is..." Shen Qingyu pretended not to know what was happening at the moment. He looked around the crowd and saw the two people kneeling on the ground. He looked puzzled, "What happened?"
Bai Ying snorted coldly, her face gloomy, "These disgusting and dirty things, how can you, a girl in the boudoir, look at these, why don't you get out of the way quickly?"
Shen Xitong's face froze after hearing these words. It seemed that she was no longer a lady from a noble family because she had just come forward to persuade her father.
Shen Qingyu lowered her eyes, "Everything is up to mother's instructions."
It seems that Bai Ying was very angry this time. Even a lady in charge of the house spoke ill of her. No matter how much Bai Ying hated Aunt Liu in the past, she would not speak so harshly, especially in front of everyone.
Moreover, these words also hinted at Shen Xitong. A concubine's daughter born to a concubine really had no manners at all. How could she allow herself to be involved in such dirty things?
In any aristocratic family, children born to concubines are rarely raised in the concubine's room. Even if they are raised by the concubine, they must be raised by the mistress of the house. But the Shen family is different. Firstly, Bai Ying has to take care of her own son and does not have the energy to take care of other people. She even throws her own daughter in the yard to fend for herself, let alone other illegitimate sons and daughters. Secondly, Mr. Shen feels sorry for Aunt Liu and does not want her children to be tortured by Bai Ying, so the matter naturally ended in nothing.
But if she tells others about it, due to the Shen family's face, Bai Ying will still bring Shen Xitong with her when attending various banquets. After all, Shen Xitong is liked by Shen Chuanhe. Besides, this girl is indeed outstanding. It can be said that she has been raised by the eldest daughter since she was a child. Although her status is humble, she is outstanding in appearance and talent, which can be considered impressive.
But if Shen Xitong lost this face outside, I am afraid that those ladies and young ladies outside would not even look at her.
Being able to admire her, what's more important is to admire the level of the girl raised by the daughter of the Bai family.
But in recent times, Bai Ying has been much colder towards Shen Xitong, especially after Shen Ruyan proposed to Bai Ying that she wanted to make Concubine Liu her co-wife, which really touched Bai Ying's bad luck. In addition, after Shen Qingyu's change, the attitude of the mansion towards the two young ladies also changed.
Shen Xitong looked like she was about to cry, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but she didn't dare to say a word at the moment, because she knew that at this critical juncture, whoever rushed forward would make Bai Ying unhappy, and she was afraid of suffering more insults.
Aunt Liu felt sorry for her daughter, and her hatred for Shen Qingyu and Bai Ying grew even deeper. She had to find a way. She couldn't let herself and her daughter be trampled under the feet of others forever. How could she let Shen Xitong endure the suffering she had gone through before?
Even if she didn't care about the mother and daughter, she still had Shen Youxing. Such a smart child was simply a treasure given to her by God. As a mother, how could she let the child suffer injustice all the time?
Bai Ying didn't bother to care what the two people were thinking. She stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Qingyu. At this moment, her superior look returned to her. Even when she looked at Shen Chuanhe, there was a bit more confidence in her eyes.
Her eyes were like knives, cutting inch by inch into the woman in the crimson skirt, "Raise your head!"
Although Bai Ying went around Shen Chuanhe and directly interrogated the maid this time, she was the mistress of the family after all. Matters in the rear house did not involve major family affairs, so Shen Chuanhe naturally didn't bother to care. It was just that he was caught having an affair with a maid, so Bai Ying was the one who made the decision.
Shen Qingyu looked at the woman and thought it was funny. Her hairpins and rings were all gone, her clothes were disheveled, and her hair was disheveled. Although the scarlet skirt she was wearing was indeed not the embroidered and gorgeous clothes that a maid wore, her figure was somewhat different from hers. However, no one present could tell the difference, and it was funny that Aunt Liu just concluded that this person was her without any evidence.
I just don't know what Shen Chuanhe is thinking after such a big misunderstanding. In the past, he believed whatever Aunt Liu said. This time, Aunt Liu insisted that the second young lady and her nephew were having an affair, making so many people laugh at her. His eldest sister was also there. Would she think it was extremely ridiculous?
I hope this incident can become a stumbling block in the love relationship between these two people, and it would be best if the stumbling block is as severe as possible.
When the little maid saw someone asking her a question, she immediately raised her head, her pretty face full of fear, "Madam, please make the decision for me!"
As if she was afraid that others didn't know who this maid was, Xiangyu whispered in Shen Qingyu's ear in a voice that everyone could hear: "Second Miss, this person's name is Dong Xi. She is a maid who takes care of the flowers and plants in the backyard flower room. I have seen her before. She is an honest and decent person. I didn't expect her to do such a stupid thing. It's a pity."
Dong Xi, the maidservant, seemed to be oblivious to Xiang Yu's words. She sobbed and came forward, kneeling at Bai Ying's feet. "Madam, I have a miserable life. Today, I was pruning flowers and plants in the backyard of the mansion as usual. But now, many flowers and plants have withered. I need to clean them up frequently so that the nobles in the mansion can feel at ease. But I was just doing my job, but who knew——"
Dong Xi looked at Liu Yiping sadly, "But how could I know when I provoked him? He claimed to be the cousin of the Shen family, and he was of noble status. His aunt was the master of the Shen family, so he was equivalent to half of the master of the Shen family. Naturally, I dared not provoke him. I originally thought that I could just back off, but he refused and held me tightly. If I didn't obey him, even my poor parents would be killed!"
