Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Shen family.

Shen Ye looked at his brother's family in front of him, and even his wife, he lost his good face.

"You know, the emperor's health has not been good recently. Marquis Wu'an and Duke Jiang have been overwhelmed by the prince's affairs. You are handing my handle to the other party. You..." Shen Ye slapped the table with his hand bulging with veins.

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were kneeling on the ground with their backs straight.

Even though he was kneeling, there was no sign on his face that he realized it was his mistake.

"Brother, our Yue'er is still lying in bed and unable to get out of bed. How can you blame our Second House? If Chu Wei is bullying others by taking advantage of her power, we will go to the Jingzhao prefect to sue her. Is there any justice in this world, wuwu..." As she spoke, Second Madam Shen began to cry.

Seeing his wife crying after being scolded by his eldest brother, Second Master Shen stood up and said, "Second brother, you can't put all the blame on our Second House just because you were demoted. Besides, you are now the Crown Prince's man. No one from the Jiang family or the He family spoke for you. Don't they think you are too little? Then why should our Shen family stand on the side of the Crown Prince? Aren't the First and Fourth Princes better places to go? The Duke Zhang's Mansion is nearby, but it's crowded with people. Why don't we go there? Maybe after a while, you will be reinstated. Why bother showing off in front of your younger brothers and sisters?"

After saying that, he sat down on the stool.

Shen Ye looked at his unruly brother, pointed at him and hesitated for a long time.

He also cursed angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne of the country, the orthodox one, and cannot be shaken. What about the eldest prince, the fourth prince? I am warning you, Second Brother, don't mess around with your friends, otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the brotherhood and throwing your whole family out!"

After saying that, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and hurried out.

If he was a step too late, he would be angry to death by his brother's family.

The direction Shen Ye went was not to his brother-in-law Yuan's family, but to the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion.

Originally, the relationship between the Shen family and the Yuan family was closer, but, as Shen Ye said, the prince is the orthodox.

In the mansion of Duke Zhang, there was a Concubine Zhang, but unfortunately she had no prince. The Fourth Prince could be raised by Concubine Zhang, although they were only foster relatives in name.

Everyone knows that this kind of relationship is not reliable.

Even the clan members of Duke Zhang's mansion had people standing on the side of the prince, let alone them.

However, the Song family and Meng Xiang’s faction, who were originally neutral, suddenly appeared.

However, because of the marriage between the Song family and the Liu family, even Chu Wei from the Northern Pacification Division of the Jinyiwei was not spared, and they even found Zhang Tongzhi to confirm that it was the daughter of their Shen family who spoke rudely first that day.

Not to mention the crown prince, even the emperor would find it difficult to protect himself.

"Sir Shen, I didn't know that the daughter of your Shen family is so close to the Yuan family? It's fine if she's close, but she's so brainless that she was taken advantage of and even helped others count money. Keeping a daughter like this in the capital, I think the future of your Shen family will end here." Marquis Wu'an scolded harshly, not prepared to give the other party any face.

"My Lord?" Shen Ye looked at the furious Marquis Wu'an, his brows twitching, and bowed: "I hope my Lord can show me a clear way out. I will be grateful. It is all because of my brother's family that they were confused and bewitched by the girl from the Yuan family."

Wu Anhou looked at his long-time colleague and realized that his attitude just now was not very good.

His expression softened, and he said, "The one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. This matter was originally caused by the concubine's daughter of the Earl of Yong'an."

"Thank you, Lord. I understand."

"As for your younger brother, you have helped him a lot over the years. You still need to separate and cut ties when the time comes. Otherwise, based on your understanding of them, will this happen again next time?"

This one sentence gave Shen Ye an epiphany. He responded respectfully and shook his head.

How could he not understand his brother's character? He had helped him clean up his messes many times over the years, but it could have been solved with some money in the past.

I never expected that my future would be hindered by my niece.

Not only did my younger brother and sister-in-law not realize their mistakes, they blamed their own family instead.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye quickened his pace back home.

Three days later, the news of the internal strife between the two brothers of the Shen family spread throughout the capital again.

If anyone had to say who was the most relaxed, it would be the eldest lady of the Shen family. After decades of being depressed, she finally felt relieved.

However, when he heard that Shen Ruyan had given birth prematurely, he scolded the second branch of the Shen family from beginning to end.

The eldest lady of the Shen family believed that it was Shen Yue's fault that caused her daughter to have a miscarriage.

The affairs of the Shen family are just the news in the capital.

Privately, things are already turbulent.

Just as the second master of the Shen family said, the eldest prince repeatedly chopped off the prince's legs.

The Fourth Prince used the power of Duke Zhang's Mansion to continuously win over his own forces.

The Crown Prince is now distrusted by the Emperor and has been under house arrest for several days.

The people from Duke Jiang’s and Marquis Wu’an’s mansions are also in the open.

In recent years, the prince's family has been the only one in power, and they have made no secret of their right-hand men, so these people have become thorns in the eyes of others.

It was also gradually destroyed by various forces.

This is also what Duke Jiang and Marquis Wu'an are most worried about. The most terrifying thing is that they still don't know who did it.

Now, Marquis Wu'an has noticed some signs in the past two days and is even more frightened.

None of these affected Su Xinqing's mood for pregnancy at all.

Su Xinqing stayed in her own courtyard peacefully and did not go back even after Chu Mingzhu got married.

First, she was less than three months pregnant and the fetus was unstable.

Second, it is taboo for newcomers.

Occasionally, Fang and the Song family would come over to keep Su Xinqing company and entertain her.

"You didn't see the dowry that Yuan Jingzhen sent yesterday. If you didn't know, you would have thought that she was the daughter of a minor official marrying a poor scholar. In total, there were only forty-eight loads of dowry. Wasn't it said that the betrothal gift from the prince of Duke Zhang's mansion was also included? How could it be so shabby?" Song Hejing didn't understand. Even when she got married, her mother had prepared more than sixty loads of dowry.

It's not that she looks down on the poor, but some furniture such as bowls and chopsticks, wedding quilts, tables, chairs, benches, etc. would require more than ten or twenty people to carry, not to mention the clothes, hairpins, screens, bathtubs, etc. for all seasons. As long as you can think of it, her parents' home will prepare it completely.

She didn't understand at first, but after looking at Jiang Miaojin's dowry list, her mother prepared it for her bit by bit.

The mother secretly regretted that she had not given enough thought. No wonder the cousin's dowry was talked about by everyone in the capital.

These days, my mother has been preparing another gift for my cousin.

"I heard from my mother that it was Prince Zhang who asked us to prepare this way. Now there is a disaster in the south, so we need to keep everything simple." Jiang Miaojin pondered for a moment and said slowly: "But..."

"But what? Miao Jin? Why do you only tell half of the story? Are you making me anxious? Did you hear something we don't know? Tell me and my cousin right away." Song Hejing's eyes widened, and she wished she could run directly into the other's stomach.
