Chapter 22 Delivering to the Official
Now that Taoist Qingyun has been exposed, Aunt Liu naturally wants to make a big deal out of a small matter. It would be best to handle the matter quietly without anyone noticing any traces. Even if Shen Chuanhe is angry, he will no longer remember the matter after this period of time.
But Shen Qingyu just didn't want to let Aunt Liu get her way. This man had plotted against her. If she hadn't used some tricks to trick the Taoist priest into revealing his true strength, she would have been beaten with sticks and whips by the Shen family and then driven out of the Shen Mansion.
Then she waited until the poor scholar came to her with the old marriage certificate, and then sent her to him.
This is how Shen Qingyu's life fell into the quagmire. They used such unscrupulous means to deal with a fourteen-year-old child. Don't blame her for being aggressive and determined to fight to the death.
Shen Chuanhe's expression was not very good. Based on what Shen Qingyu had just said, he did not think about the struggle in the backyard, but instead thought about the things happening outside.
"Someone, come and capture this fake Taoist priest! Send him directly to the government office! Tell Prefect Qian that he must be severely punished. Such a villain must be taught a severe lesson!"
Shen Chuanhe's face was slightly distorted. The Shen family's business had not been so good in recent years. Ever since they lost the title of imperial merchant, they had been competing with the other two tea merchant families in Jinling Prefecture, the Qin family and the He family, for the imperial merchant business. However, over the years, the Shen family had never been able to win.
The Shen family's business has finally started to pick up a little. Maybe those two families want to suppress the Shen family, so they resorted to such means.
When Taoist Qingyun heard that he had to report to the police, he became completely panicked. If he was thrown into the government dungeon, everything would be over and he would never have a chance to get out.
"No, no, no, Master Shen, please give me a chance and I will tell you everything. I was ordered to do this by someone, your aunt. I took money to do things for them just to say what I said today. I have no choice!"
Taoist Qingyun is a spineless man. He doesn't even need to be sent to the authorities for torture. He has already confessed everything at this time.
Aunt Liu's face was pale and she was identified by Taoist Qingyun in public. No matter how much Shen Chuanhe loved her, he would not make any concessions in this matter. Besides, there was another Bai Ying standing next to them, watching them covetously.
"Don't make random accusations. Even if she is a girl from the harem, you can't just bully her. It's obviously you who framed her, so why do you want to drag others into this?"
Shen Xitong stood up and stood in front of Aunt Liu.
At this moment, Aunt Liu's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Shen Chuanhe infatuatedly, as if she had said nothing, and yet had said everything.
Shen Qingyu watched coldly. No wonder Shen Chuanhe's heart always leaned towards Aunt Liu. How could a woman acting like this not move a man's heart? On the other hand, Bai Ying's whole mind was on Shen Youhong. She didn't have any thoughts about her husband at all. How could Shen Chuanhe like the strong Bai Ying?
"Whether you are just making random accusations or not, we'll know after we report you to the authorities. There are so many concubines in this mansion, so don't be so quick to try to cover up your guilt." Bai Ying said sarcastically.
Aunt Liu looked at him pitifully, "Master, isn't Madam's words really hurtful? I really didn't do these things. Master and I have been friends for so many years, how could I do such a thing to hurt Master's daughter? Even if the Second Miss is not favored in the mansion on weekdays, she is Master's blood after all. How could I bear it?"
Her eyes fell on Shen Youxing, her long eyelashes were stained with tears, even though her face had been worn down by the years, she still had an attractive charm.
Shen Chuanhe immediately softened his heart. Besides, this Taoist Qingyun had already lied before, and now he was telling lies all the time. It was possible that he was just making groundless accusations.
"Whether you can bear it or not, isn't the truth laid out right here?" Bai Ying retorted.
"Yes, mother, people's words are scary. It's better to calm down at this time to avoid some unfounded speculations on yourself, otherwise what you have done will become nothing."
Shen Qingyu exclaimed, then reacted and added: "I was wrong. Something that I had not done has become something that I have done."
Shen Xitong lost her temper, "Shen Qingyu, what do you mean? My mother has already said that this matter has nothing to do with her. My mother is not the only concubine in the mansion. Concubine Bai also followed here. Who knows what she is thinking."
Aunt Bai was also Shen Chuanhe's bedmate. She was very beautiful when she was young and caught Shen Chuanhe's eye, but the relationship between her and Shen Chuanhe was not as deep as that between Aunt Liu. A man's heart was divided into so many parts, so how much time could he spend on her?
She was originally not allowed to come here today, but she heard a Taoist priest say that girls born in February are in conflict with their families.
Aunt Bai has only one daughter, Shen Pingwan. She is really worried, fearing that Shen Pingwan will be the disaster that brings disaster to the Shen family. Then even if she wants to see her daughter in the future, it will not be possible.
So Aunt Bai sneaked over just to eavesdrop, but later she found out that Shen Pingwan was not a disaster star. The room became chaotic again, and she was worried that her daughter could not handle it in such a situation, so she stayed by her side.
Suddenly, she was singled out by Shen Xitong and was pointed out as the mastermind behind the incident. Aunt Bai was immediately panicked.
"Whatever my sister says, that's what it is." Shen Qingyu took a sip of tea.
The Shen family is in business, selling the finest tea, and everything used in this mansion is also top-notch, but she can only enjoy it in this hall, because the head of the Shen family, Shen Chuanhe, is here. If she returns to her Tingyu Garden, there will be nothing.
From ancient times to the present, only when power is in one's own hands can one truly do whatever one wants.
Otherwise, you can't even have a sip of tea.
"Shen Qingyu, you are feeling complacent now, right? Even if what this fake Taoist priest said was all lies, you are not a good person. You have caused unrest in the family. Haven't you had enough of the beating your father gave you?"
Shen Xitong's beautiful face became a little distorted because of anger, which really ruined such a good appearance.
Shen Qingyu didn't feel anything about being scolded. It didn't hurt at all. Instead, she felt sorry for this face, which was born with a vicious heart.
"That's enough! Why are you arguing at this time? You are the eldest daughter of the Shen family. How can you be so undignified and unsteady?"
Shen Chuanhe suddenly got angry at Shen Xitong.
