The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family
Chapter 118 Proposal
In front of his beloved, how could Shen Cang admit that he was short of money? He could only pretend to be rich and try to make up for it, saying: "...I'll give it to you when I get home. I left in a hurry and didn't bring that much."
Shen Qiyin pointed at the bag of silver in Jiang Wan's hand and said, "It looks like a lot."
Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled, and his hand holding the purse tightened unconsciously.
Shen Cang's expression also turned extremely ugly: "Father has already given away the silver, there is no reason for him to take it back!"
"But I just heard Aunt Wan clearly say that she doesn't want your money, and I just need money right now. If you stop her from giving me the money, won't people think she is a snobbish woman who is greedy for money?"
"This……"
Shen Cang was speechless for a moment.
Jiang Wan's focus was completely off. She asked Shen Qiyin uncertainly, "What did you call me just now?"
"Aunt Wan." Shen Qiyin took a few steps forward with a friendly smile and walked in front of Jiang Wan: "Just now I heard my father call you 'Aunt Wan'. I guess there is a 'Wan' in your maiden name, so I call you that."
"Since you have followed father, you can't stay out forever. You will have to move into the mansion sooner or later. As a junior, it is only natural for Qiyin to call you 'Aunt Wan'."
Perhaps he didn't expect Shen Qiyin to have this attitude towards him, Jiang Wan was a little confused for a moment.
She subconsciously looked at Shen Cang, only to find that the latter was as confused as she was.
Shen Qiyin explained: "Aunt Wan doesn't know that I am a person who is soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. My father came up and threatened me with killing and fighting, so I became unhappy and got stubborn."
"But you didn't provoke me, didn't offend me, and even gave me money to spend. There's no reason for me to be rude to you."
At this point, how could Jiang Wan keep the silver in his hand? He could only bite the bullet and give it to Shen Qiyin, and he had to say all the nice things: "This is our first meeting, and I should have prepared a gift for you, but it was too hasty and I didn't have time to prepare it..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Qiyin waved his hand, looking like someone who was easy to talk to, but then he said, "Auntie Wan, just remember to make it up to me next time."
Shen Cang just felt ashamed and scolded: "Don't be rude!"
Shen Qiyin, however, looked as if it was a matter of course: "Father, what are you talking about? How could your daughter be rude? I treat Aunt Wan as my own family member and I don't treat her with any formality."
"Otherwise, if others ask me about it in the future, I can just say that when I first met Aunt Wan, she gave me a bag of silver, and that the silver was given to her by my father. Do you think that sounds good?"
Shen Cang was so blocked that he was fuming and didn't know how to fight back.
Jiang Wan, on the other hand, said amiably, "...Qi Yin is absolutely right. I will definitely remember to make up for it next time."
"I just didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances. You are a junior, so I shouldn't tell you these things. But please don't misunderstand the relationship between me and your father."
"Aunt Wan, there's no need to say more." She didn't have the time to listen to her turning a "deliberate story of adultery" into a "moving and tragic love drama."
"As a junior, I have no right to comment on the past between elders. As long as you and father are happy, that's all."
When Shen Qiyin said this, it was obvious that Jiang Wan seemed to be relieved.
She was thinking in her heart, it was said outside that the medical skills of the second young lady of the Shen family were so amazing. She had never taken it seriously before, but now she believed it without a doubt.
I guess she is only interested in medicine and knows nothing else.
If others saw their father taking a mistress, they would definitely worry about their mother's status. But she, on the contrary, was very close to this mistress, which showed how confused she was.
But that face is very beautiful.
Tomorrow when I enter the mansion, I will find a family for her to pave the way for her son.
Jiang Wan looked at Shen Qiyin, and the latter was not unfamiliar with the look, because this was how the Shen family looked at her when they were plotting against her.
What did Wu Anhou say?
Not all eggs go into one basket.
pretty good.
This way, when the basket arrives, she can ensure that all the eggs are cracked without having to squeeze them one by one.
When leaving the alley where Jiang Wan lived, Shen Cang deliberately went with Shen Qiyin.
He repeatedly tested her and warned her along the way, fearing that she might let the cat out of the bag in front of Old Madam Shen and the others and disrupt his plans.
Originally, Shen Qiyin didn't want to pay attention to him, but since he took the initiative to approach her, she simply didn't want to be polite anymore. She bought whatever she saw along the way, including food, toys, and things to use.
She did not spend a penny of the money in her own pocket, but spent all the money left on Shen Cang.
But he can't do without money. He can't go to see Jiang Wan tomorrow empty-handed.
Therefore, after returning home that day, Shen Cang went to find Mrs. Shen first.
The latter was secretly glad at first, thinking that ever since the two little hooves were gone from the mansion, the first thing the master did when he came back was to look for her. However, she was disappointed to find that, like the previous times, he just came to ask for money.
"Master, recently..." Madam Shen poured him a cup of tea, looked at his face, and said carefully, "Why are you spending so much?"
Shen Cang was unhappy when he heard this: "What? Are you controlling me now?"
"no……"
"What's wrong with me spending some money? I earned it myself!"
"Master, calm down. That's not what I meant." Fearing that Shen Cang would be unhappy, Madam Shen hurriedly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Master, didn't I find an old friend of my father to help me do business? Now I have seen the first return payment!"
"That's great. Give me some more this time."
"……Yes."
The smile on Mrs. Shen's face suddenly collapsed.
Her original intention was to have Shen Cang praise her and see her usefulness to the family, but unexpectedly the opposite happened.
Xianglan stood aside and thought, aren’t you asking for this?
You deserve to be so proud!
Shen Cang took the silver and was about to leave, but a servant from Madam Shen's courtyard suddenly came to report that a distinguished guest had come to the mansion and asked him and Madam Shen to go and meet him.
Shen Cang went to Zhuijintang full of doubts.
When they got there, they found that not only the couple were there, but also younger generations like Shen Qiyin.
Even Shen Yaozu, who had just been released from prison, was there.
Old Madam Shen couldn't bear to see her beloved grandson suffer, so she secretly took out her own money and sent someone to Jingzhao Prefecture to redeem him.
Shen Qiyin heard that it took people from the mansion two trips to bring the person back.
It is said that when the servant went there for the first time, he forgot to bring clothes for Shen Yaozu.
He and Shen Qiyin arrived at Zhuijin Hall almost at the same time. The moment he saw her, there was undisguised hatred in his eyes.
He felt that it was all the fault of the person in front of him that he had fallen to this state!
If she hadn't blocked his way from taking Rendong as his concubine, he wouldn't have gone to the brothel in anger, and naturally all the messy things that happened later wouldn't have happened.
So it's all her fault!
He must settle this account with her!
Shen Yaozu's eyes seemed to be about to poke a hole in Shen Qiyin's body. She naturally noticed it, and not only was she not afraid, she was even a little excited.
Everyone walked into the Zhuijin Hall one after another, and saw Madam Shen talking to an old man.
The two looked moved, with tears in their eyes, and were very excited.
If it’s not Guo An, then who else could it be!
Sitting next to him was a young man in his twenties, with a fat head and big ears, a few pockmarks on both sides of his rosacea, and a lot of small red boils on his forehead.
He is Guo An's grandson, his name is Guo Xiuran, and he just came of age this year.
Old Madam Shen was introducing the two families to Shen Qiyin. When it came to Shen Qiyin, Guo Xiuran was stunned and stared at Shen Qiyin. He didn't even hear Guo An calling him.
He just said in a daze: "Sister Qiyin... must be a fairy from the Ninth Heaven who has come down to earth. How can there be such a beauty in the world..."
This is a bit abrupt.
Shen Qiyin did not show any shyness or fear, but before she could say anything, she was blocked by Shen Cang behind her.
He pretended to greet Guo An's grandfather and grandson, and led them to sit down again.
This is the first time that Shen Cang protects Shen Qiyin like this.
Of course, she wouldn't feel any touching emotion in her heart.
The reason why Shen Cang protected her was not because he was a father and loved his daughter, but because he felt that with her looks and current connections, she could get a better family status than the Guo family.
If it was Xiao Yan who was staring at her today, Shen Cang would not only not stand in front of her, but would probably want to stuff her into Xiao Yan's arms and let him see enough.
After everyone was seated, Old Madam Shen was still emotional for a long time and recalled: "You young people don't know that our family has a close relationship with your grandfather Guo's family."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Madam Shen and said, "Back then, your marriage with Yan Lin was arranged by your cousin Guo."
Yanlin is Shen Cang's pen name.
This was the name Guo An gave him.
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly stood up, bowed to Guo An, and thanked him profusely.
In contrast, Shen Cang's reaction was very indifferent.
Can it be bland?
If Guo An had paid more attention to his marriage and had built a closer relationship with Jiang's father, perhaps he would have been able to marry Wan Niang as he wished. Why would he end up sleeping in the same bed with this middle-aged woman but having different dreams from her now?
Coming back to his senses, Shen Cang asked Guo An: "Is my cousin being transferred back to Beijing this time, or..."
Hearing this, Guo An's face froze, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "I'm already this age, and I'm too lazy to deal with the officialdom anymore. It's better to leave the position to the young people."
Shen Cang understood and thought to himself that he had been completely defeated.
Old Madam Shen didn't know whether she hadn't thought of this or she had thought of it but didn't care at all. She actually said, "Alas, it's time for you to spend your old age in peace and stop working so hard."
"Yes, yes." Guo An smiled with a look of relief.
Shen Cang asked again: "I wonder where my cousin lives now that he has returned to Beijing?"
Who knew that before Guo An could answer, Old Madam Shen couldn't wait to say, "Why bother asking? He will live in our house."
After these words, Shen Cang and Madam Shen's expressions changed at the same time.
For a moment, no one from the couple responded to the conversation.
Shen Qiyin watched this scene with great interest. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate beside him and slowly peeled and ate them while watching the show.
Guo An did plan to stay at the Shen family, but after Mrs. Shen said that, Shen Cang and Mrs. Shen didn't show any reaction, so he had to find a way out and said, "How can I stay at the mansion? It would be too much of a bother."
Old Madam Shen disagreed and said, "Why are you saying such polite words?"
"Thinking back then, when I brought Yan Lin and his sister to the capital, wasn't it you who arranged the house and furniture for them?"
"Not to mention the food and daily necessities, which one of them can't be left out without your concern."
"Even Yan Lin was able to serve in the Imperial Hospital because of your mediation."
"If you really care about it like that, we are just repaying their kindness. This is just a little bit of their filial piety. You just need to accept it with peace of mind."
Mrs. Shen made the decision on the matter with just a few words.
Shen Cang was reluctant, but couldn't refuse.
Because just like what Old Madam Shen said, if you look into it carefully, their Shen family really owes their Guo family. If they don't take in the grandfather and grandson, people will inevitably think they are ungrateful.
But given the current situation in the mansion, supporting two more people would be a considerable expense.
But Mrs. Shen, who is usually frugal, behaved out of character this time, which made Shen Cang suspicious.
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard Shen Yaozu speak.
He only asked Guo Xiuran: "I wonder what cousin Xiuran is busy with now?"
The answer is: busy being infatuated with Shen Qiyin.
How could he no longer hear what Shen Yaozu said? At this moment, his heart and eyes were filled with only Shen Qiyin.
His undisguised "covetousness" was clearly visible to everyone present, but Shen Yaozu insisted on breaking the window paper and said, "Cousin Xiu Ran, are you looking at my second sister?"
"Um, I..."
"Cousin, don't be shy. As the saying goes, 'a beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman.' You and my second sister are both unmarried, so it's reasonable for you to have feelings for each other."
After hearing this, Guo Xiuran's eyes lit up like two flames, so bright that it was frightening.
He said excitedly: "I have never seen a woman as beautiful as my cousin!"
"Xiu Ran!" Guo An knew his grandson's character very well and was afraid that he would get carried away, so he sternly rebuked him, "Don't be rude!"
Shen Yaozu, however, seemed to enjoy the excitement and said, "Uncle, don't be angry. We are real relatives. It would be too formal to be like this."
"You may not know, but my second sister is now old enough to get married. Since cousin Xiu Ran is interested in her, I think this is a good match."
Shen Qiyin paused while cracking melon seeds and looked up at him.
Shen Yaozu looked provocative.
Shen Cang wanted to rush up and slap him in the face, but Shen Yaozu immediately said, "Grandma just said that the Guo family has been kind to our Shen family. If it weren't for Uncle Grandpa's help back then, I'm afraid even Father wouldn't be in the same situation now."
"How can I not repay such a great favor?"
"If you ask me, Yin'er, you should marry your cousin Xiu Ran. On the one hand, you can repay his kindness, and on the other hand, our two families can become closer. It's a win-win situation."
