Chapter 129: Prince Rui's Neighbour (Part 2)

Shen Xin and wife returned to the capital with great fanfare, and Shen Miao even stole the li Qi's tribute banquet in front of the entire court of civil and military officials, and at the same time when discussion were inal Formidable General residence

Since the Forer there, the previously General residence had taken off the plaque and changed it to Shen residence Initially when Shen Xin was demoted and left the capital, the Shen fa the snoeather, they actually brought out the separation from the family and wanted to draw a clear line between thearded by Emperor Wen Hui, no matter what intention the Eht at the calamity that the Shen family had and as for the Shen family themselves, they could only s the bitter fruit down

Within Rong Jing Tang, Old Shen Furen was sitting at the couch on the ave was still there It was a wolf skin that was hunted in the Northwestern region and due to the long usage, it orn out till one side was somewhat flat In the past when Shen Xin returned to the capital every year, he would always gift Old Shen Furen soood stuff that could not be bought in the Ding capital Now that Shen Xin no longer gifted any hide, Old Shen Furen could only use the old stuff from the past

Moreover Rong Jing Tang was no longer as exquisite and luxurious as the past, that even the decorations were lesser than before Shen Xin originally was rewarded by the Emperor continuously and even the Shen residence was comfortably well off, but noithout Shen Xin's financial assistance and Chen Rou Qiu holding the power ofon lapels that exposes the elbows (aka over-extended and unable to make ends meet)

“Nu these days” Old Shen Furen drank a sip of ginseng tea and the skin on her face see, yesterday I told her to find the tailor to make a cloak for me, she also pushed and pulled The money all fall into her own pocket”

The maid behind carefully rubbed Old Shen Furen shoulders and lowered her head without speaking Currently Old Shen Furen was getting o when Shen Yuan Bo died a premature dead due to smallpox, Old Shen Furen would often lose her temper

Shen Yuan Bo's premature death was currently the unspeakable pain of the Shen fao, there was an interh it was contained at the end and the epidereater impact, there were still some deaths and unfortunately, Shen Yuan Bo was one of them

In the Second household of the Shen fainally had two sons and after Shen Yuan died under the executioner's blade, Shen Yuan Bo was to be relied upon but once Shen Yuan Bo died Shen Gui al herself to death in her courtyard after Shen Yuan Bo's death After Ren Wan Yun's death, Shen Gui started to bring in more concubines but after about a year, there were nowas not right and got a physician to take a look at Shen Gui The physician said that Shen Gui had takenand had destroyed the roots for having children, and would not be able to have another child in this lifetime

After Old Shen Furen heard this, she fainted and Shen Gui was stunned silly Afterfrom Shen Gui, it all landed on the dead Ren Wan Yun She had drugged Shen Gui with the , and her motive was to secure Shen Yuan Bo's Di son position, but who knew that Shen Yuan Bo's life would be this short Ren Wan Yun was dead and naturally Shen Gui could not do anything more to her so now in the Second household, Shen Gui was only left with one child, Shen Dong Ling As the tide rises, Shen Dong Ling was like the boat that float and Wan YiLiang had taken on a new lease of life, and became the only person that had a child with Shen Gui

Ever since Shen Gui knew that he would not have any offspring, he had no ress forith his career since there was no one to carry on his ancestral line, so as the point of fighting for old and silver He now only spend his days drinking and philandering around

Since it was no longer possible for the Second household to have any children, Old Shen Furen had to turn her eyes towards the Third household, Shen Wan He had not taken any , but since Chen Rou Qiu was able to control Shen Wan's heart, even when Old Shen Furen sent two TongFang to Shen Wan, they were only decorative items in the third household

Old Shen Furen said, “Not only the onethe household is hter of a noble and scholarly house One do not knohere did she learn such habits of the s to help one's husband to branch out his offspring, and only know those vixen moves so that the Third household do not have any Di son at all Really do not knohat intention there is”

Zhang MaMa sry The Third Master currently do not know the advantage of having other young ladies Third Master has deep affections, After a few days, the young ladies that were bought will arrive, and those two that Old Furen sent over are all at the age where they are delicate as a flower and refined as precious jade, naturally Third Master would discover the beauty of them”

Old Shen Furen had sent people to the Yang province to buy rackabones (aka young ladies) For Shen Wan's kind of people, beauty along would not be enough to win over his heart Chen Rou Qiu also relied on her idyllic appeal in poetry and painting for Shen Wan to look at her differently Those rackabones fro, thus they were knowledgeable with the four scholarly arts and they had rather good looks, so there was no men that would not like them Old Shen Furen did not believe that Shen Wan, as a reedy for fresher ood Chen Rou Qiu was, she was already older

“Each one is all inciting er” Old Shen Furen said in displeasure, “Even Yue-er also do not knohy, but she learned from her mother and have been so superior in her state of mind I already went to look for so many families for her, and each one were all rich and honourable, but she unexpectedly was not even a tiny interested in any Could it be that she want to marry to a Prince?”

Zhang MaMa frowned as Old Shen Furen's habit of shooting one's ed She s, so one fear that Third Master has the decision in his heart to keep Second Young Lady for a good family”

“Keeping here and there would at the end, keeping an enmity” Old Shen Furen scoffed, “Just look on I want to see what kind of ive Yue-er”

In Qiu Shui Yuan, Chen Rou Qiu ed her forehead

Her personalTang to inquire, and Old Furen indeed went to get a few rackabones for Third Master, and they would be sent to the residence in a few days' ti your face with this”

Chen Rou Qiu closed her eyes and brushed all the books on the table violently to the floor The crackling and rattling sound shocked the entire roole word

Even though Chen Rou Qiu, like before, was still gentle and considerate in front of Shen Wan, but the servant clearly felt that this Third Furen, Chen Rou Qiu's temperament became much more violent in the past two years Most likely because of the ement of the coements of the different households, and also due to Old Shen Furen's extravagance, Chen Rou Qiu had to use her own money to subsidise In the past she placed herself above the common populace, naturally one was able to cultivate one's moral character but now one was ridden with ordinary affairs,one felt that everyday was a mess

Of course thewas that there was still no heirs

She coldly said, “This old undead bought rackabones for her son Really do not knohat extreme shame is”

If Shen Wan was present, one fear that he will be in so entle, graceful and soft person as forever like the breeze and light rain, actually spoke such ugly words now

Hua Yi said, “Furen have such good teo on, Old Furen would sooner or later stuff people in Master's room”

Chen Rou Qiu took in a breath and turned around to glance at the twoand Hua Yi These were the two personal maids that she personally proe, like a ripe fruit that has a sweet honey flavour all around them Her lips hooked up, “Old Furen is really an old fool If one really wanted to stuff females in our courtyard, why is there a need to search for those unclean people that one do not even know the background Not afraid of destroying one's reputation It is better to find those clean ones by one's side, so one will be assured when used and feel co I see that the both of you are also not bad”

Although the words were gentle, her eyes were so sharp that both maids jumped in shock and quickly knelt down, “These servants do not dare These servants only wish to serve Furen wholeheartedly and absolutely dare not have other ideals”

Chen Rou Qiu looked down at thes were trehtly, “Get up Since you all are not willing, I have no reason to force other to a difficult situation”

“Many thanks Furen” Both hed in relief without coentle on the surface, and also treated others kindly but being Chen Rou Qiu's personal maids, they had seen Chen Rou Qiu's means and methods Actually there were also so and also rushed to stick by Shen Wan Even though Shen Wan did not show great interest, he also did not very much refused Afterwards these servants were then dealt with by Chen Rou Qiu by some reasons Not only one did not end up well, it also involved the entire fa and Hua Yi were very clear in their hearts, that Chen Rou Qiu was an extremely jealous person in her bones and had very vicious ether with Shen Wan, one fear that there would not be even bones left upon death

Chen Rou Qiu sighed, “One can only blaive birth to a son for Master If I had birthed a son, hoould one be in such circumstances??

shi+ Qing and Hua Yi did not dare to respond as children were the torn in Chen Rou Qiu's heart Chen Rou Qiu murmured, “Now that the Shen residence had ended up in such a situation, there was not even a single son in the younger generation Even if the Second household had, now there was none Now I ahter below and no in-laws on top Shen Xin also treated her like precious ge It really make one envious”

Thinking about the tribute banquet yesterday, Shen Miao stole the li at Shen Yue, she was obviouslythan Shen Miao but because of the Shen faradual decline, it was even harder to find a husband of a good fa that Shen Yue anxiously longed for

A glimmer of resentment appeared in Chen Rou Qiu's heart She was ambitious and competitive for her entire life, but noas step beneath the feet of the vulgar General's daughter that she despised

Just at this time, an old woman came inside, “Furen, there is so for Old Furen and was stop by Furen's maid Furen, one heard that that person come to rely on the Shen family”

When Chen Rou Qiu heard this, she frowned as she thought that it was those far strung relatives of Old Shen Furen that ca faone but there were still these unfathomable people, her face iratuitous financial help, then give them two silver and send them away This residence cannot afford to raise idlers Do not let any cats or dogs in”

“It is not” The servant scratched her head, “Furen, that person do not look like seeking gratuitous financial help, as she said that she was the Old General's old acquaintance and she had no more options but to come over to ask for help as there were some circumstances in the family”

Old General Shen

Chen Rou Qiu thought for a while before standing up, “Show her to the side rooo take a look”

After Shen Miao returned to the residence fro Xian pawnshop, it was still very early so she locked herself in the roo about When the skies were nearing the evening, Luo Tan returned She had bought soave so in a jewellery shop and the jewellery shops in the Ding capital are very big Young Lady Feng and me selected some for you, unsure if you would like theo out, we can go there to shop again”

It was an appearance that one had not fully expressed oneself

Shen Miao nodded in comply and after Luo Tan left, she looked at the half box of jewellery, wondering how much money would there be if it was pawned

Shen Xin and entourage also returned shortly after Luo Tan and everyone ate dinner together Most likely the official matters were soodnoticed it and said, “Biao Younger Sister looked out of sorts, is there so that happened?”

Shen Qiu's chopsticks stopped, “Younger Sister, what is wrong?”

Shen Miao was surprised for aat her, she s to the capital froht after a few days”

Shen Qiu laughed, “What is there not to get used to? If Younger Sister is not used to it then after a few days, I will be free to bring Younger Sister to stroll from the west to the east, and fro a few tiet used to it”

“Biao Older Brother also bring ” Luo Tan quickly declared her position, “I can also protect Biao Youngest Sister”

“Nonsense” Luo Xue Yan said, “If your Younger Sister really follow you around the city, one fear she would be too worn out Moreover the Ding capital is so big, what if so him to help out

Shen Xin laughed and said, “It is fine as long as the children are happy Stinky brat, if you really bring your Younger Sisters out to play, then also bring this old one's soldiers Just beat up whoever dare to create problems No need to be afraid”

Luo Xue Yan was so angry that she pinched him

The relationshi+p between this husband and as boisterous, but it also looked very close as one watched Shen Xin has an awe-inspiring presence outside, but obeys Luo Xue Yan's words upon returning ho as she watched on but as she did that, she thought about soradually became hazy She quickly lowered her head so that the people around would not discover it Luo Ling as beside her, noticing her every htfully bowed his head
