Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 117: Arresting the mother and daughter together

Shen Jingyi was shocked and angry.

A genuine feeling of loss of control spread from head to toe. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been hit by a finger in her mother's house, let alone such a heavy slap in the face.

What's more, the one who did it wasn't even the elders.

She never took Shen Hong seriously. He was just a younger brother who ran errands for her. In her eyes, he was no different from a pet.

So, how dare he!

Aunt Xu was horrified after seeing all this and immediately rushed over to look around.

"Does it hurt? Did you get hit anywhere? Does your stomach hurt?" He raised his head and looked at Shen Hong, "How dare you hit your sister? She's pregnant with the child of Marquis Pingyuan."

"So what?" Shen Hong sneered, looking at the mother and daughter without any emotion, "Have you treated me like a fool for so long that you forgot that I am the only legitimate son of the Shen family?"

Shen Mingde's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.

Shen Jingyi's cheeks were burning, as if reminding her once again what had just happened.

She thought that with the knowledge of that dynasty, she could easily play with these ancient men, but her recent experiences seemed to slap her in the face.

She took a deep breath and was not as hysterical as imagined. She even forced a smile and tried to be gentle.

"Brother Hong, aren't we the best siblings?"

Men are creatures that respond to softness rather than hardness.

At this time, being soft is definitely more effective than being angry.

But Shen Hong ignored all this. He was feeling extremely regretful.

If it weren't for my naivety and ignorance, how could I have been played around by this mother and daughter for so many years, and even alienated from my own sister.

He is so confused!

"Just because you are born to a concubine, are you qualified to be my sister?" He turned his eyes to Concubine Shen and said coldly, "When you took me to protest against my mother, you thought you could be made the legal wife, right? Unfortunately, God has eyes, and a concubine is always a concubine."

Aunt Xu felt a little panicked. Why did he suddenly bring up the past, and why did he suddenly realize her dirty thoughts back then?

"What are you talking about? I have always been respectful to my wife. Every time I take you there, it is to take care of you."

"Take me with you? I am my mother's son, why do I need you to take me?" Shen Hong retorted with a very clear mind at this moment.

Shen Jingyi was extremely confused because most of these ideas were given to Aunt Xu by her.

She was born with a skull-piercing technique, so she knew everything about this mansion from an early age. Even some of Aunt Xu's methods of competing for favor were instilled in her subtly.

Shen Nanqiao's biological mother was very upset at the time, and she was the one who instigated Aunt Xu to take Shen Hong to provoke him every day, and she always asked him in an innocent tone like a little adult.

"Mother, why does father always hang out at my aunt's place? Why does he drive me to your place?"

Shen Nanqiao's biological mother was a very gentle woman. She had never taken her anger out on herself, and would even give her some cakes and fruits that were hard to come by if she provoked her.

"Sister Yi is a sensible child. If mother passes away one day, your younger brothers and sisters will depend on you to take care of them."

Shen Jingyi thought she was very indifferent to human feelings, so she was never moved by her words.

It's just polite talk, which mistress doesn't know this?

She was sure that the other party was kind, so her provocative words became more and more severe, but the woman never complained to Shen Mingde.

Sometimes she was even curious, do this couple really have feelings for each other?

If there is, it seems like they will never have any contact with each other again.

But if you say no, you will have two more children.

After observing for a while, Shen Jingyi was certain that Shen Mingde had no feelings for his wife, so she felt even less guilty about breaking up the marriage.

As it turned out, her speculation was correct. When Shen Nanqiao's biological mother passed away, Shen Mingde did not show much regret except for the initial shock.

Then, this topic became a taboo topic for the Shen family.

What is surprising is that Shen Mingde did not marry a second wife. Even though he doted on Aunt Xu so much, he only handed over the housekeeper power to her.

However, what no one expected was that it would be mentioned again after so many years.

"Brother Hong, what are you talking about? Why would Auntie do this? Don't listen to other people's rumors, it will ruin our brother-sister relationship for many years!" Shen Jingyi squeezed out two tears, "Have you forgotten that I was the one who took you out to play when you were a child?"

Shen Hong gritted his teeth.

"How could I possibly forget? I was blinded by these small favors! I pushed my own sister away and trusted a vicious woman like you!"

Shen Jingyi became more and more nervous. She didn't expect Shen Hong to be so stubborn.

She is already having a hard time in Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. If she loses even the safe haven of the Shen family, she will be pushed into a dead end.

On the way here just now, she was still thinking about whether she should stay at her parents' home to give birth and take a step back to advance.

After all, Pingyuan Hou and his wife care a lot about the baby in her belly. What if Ning Ziyu is really infertile, this child of theirs will be the only one in the Ning family!

So nothing can go wrong at this moment.

Thinking of this, she didn't care about the fall she had just had, and stood up and threw herself at Shen Hong's feet.

"My mother died of illness. I know you miss her dearly, but you can't take your anger out on me." She raised her head. "We have been siblings for many years. The baby in my belly will call you uncle!"

Shen Nanqiao, who had been silent all this time, slowly stood up.

Shen Jingyi leaned back subconsciously, she was afraid that Shen Nanqiao would come over and beat her up the next moment.

However, the other party did not move, but just glanced at him lightly, and his eyes fell on Aunt Xu next to him.

"It's an old matter, and there's no evidence anyway. I won't discuss it today, I'll just ask Auntie about the management of the inner courtyard."

Aunt Xu became even more panicked.

"The accounts of the inner courtyard are reviewed by the master every year. What do you have to ask?"

Shen Nanqiao smiled and reached out to pull out an account book from the old lady's small kang table.

"Really? Then let me ask you something. Five hundred acres of good farmland outside the city can bring in four to five thousand silver coins in the first ten years, even if it's not a good year. How come it has shrunk by half in recent years?"

Shen Mingde suddenly looked up and stared at Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu hurried to explain.

"The second young lady is raised in the boudoir, how can she know the difficulties outside? The tenants ask for rent reduction every year, and there are also taxes..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Nanqiao.

"The taxes in Da Chu have only increased once in the past ten years. Are you kidding me? As for the tenants," she chuckled, "why don't you change them?"

Aunt Xu paused and said stiffly.

"As the saying goes, it is better to do something familiar than to do something new..."

"Indeed, they are familiar with each other. They are cousins, so how can we not be familiar with each other?"

Aunt Xu was horrified. How could she know this? In order to cover up the truth, she asked her brother's brother-in-law to sign and seal the document.

"Auntie, are you wondering how I know this?" Shen Nanqiao raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, "There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world, especially under the feet of the emperor. Is there anything that can be covered up with paper?"

Shen Mingde had recovered from his initial shock. He knew that Shen Nanqiao's source of information must be the East Factory.

In the eyes of the East Factory, there are no secrets in the entire capital, and Ning Su tells Shen Nanqiao everything he knows.

And looking at Aunt Xu's reaction, you can tell that what she was thinking has most likely hit the nail on the head, and a huge sense of betrayal swept over her body.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes were red as if he wanted to eat someone.

"No wonder the mansion is in deficit every year. You told me that the harvest was bad, but it all went into your Xu family's pockets, right?"

Aunt Xu was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly.

"Master, don't listen to the second young lady's one-sided words. I have helped you take care of the household chores and gave birth to your eldest daughter over the years. Even if there is a slight deficit, it is because of my lack of ability, not to enrich myself!"

Shen Nanqiao laughed out loud.

"A little deficit? Aunt Xu is just from an ordinary family. Thirty or fifty thousand taels is a little? You are so arrogant."

Shen Mingde was also stunned: "300,000 or 50,000 taels?"

He thought the rent for the land was only a few thousand taels, so how could it have increased tenfold?

"Second Miss is talking nonsense!" Aunt Xu was a little anxious. She crawled on her knees and hugged Shen Mingde's thighs, "Master, she is talking nonsense.

Shen Nanqiao suddenly swept all the account books on the small table to the ground with a cold expression.

"Really? Then call someone to confront us. After we find out, you will take your stuff and get out of our Shen family today!"

Before Aunt Xu could react, Shen Jingyi was stunned and then fainted.
