Unexpectedly, Shen Qiyin heard what she said and said: "Grandmother and mother were going to come, but..."

After a brief pause, she hesitated before continuing, "It's just that my third sister made a big mistake yesterday, and my grandmother got angry and became unwell, so my mother had to stay and take care of her, and couldn't leave."

When Mrs. Feng heard Shen Qiyin mention what happened in Jing'an Temple yesterday, her face turned red and she felt ashamed.

"What happened yesterday was Heng'er's fault. It's me and his father who failed to educate our son properly."

It’s really impossible to teach.

They beat him and scolded him, but he just didn't learn his lesson. He would pick up everything, whether it was fragrant or smelly, dog shit or chicken manure, and bring it to the mansion. No matter how angry they were as parents, they couldn't just cut him off with a pair of scissors.

Alas, raising a child is not easy, strangling him to death is a relief.

When she looked at Shen Qiyin again, Mrs. Feng looked ashamed: "I apologize to you on behalf of Heng'er."

"Madam, there is no need to be like this. It is not Mr. Feng's fault alone." And what about her "good sister"?

Hearing this, Feng Ruoying could not wait for Madam Feng to speak, and said first: "You are a sensible person. You did not go against your conscience to protect your sister."

"She must have seduced my brother first. Otherwise, with her plain face, how could my brother leave you alone and hook up with her?"

"Ying'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Feng waited until Feng Ruoying finished speaking before she pretended to stop her.

Even though she disliked Feng Heng like crazy, he was still her biological son, so she would never tolerate others talking about him.

Shen Qiyin was a complete victim in this matter. Madam Feng was also a woman and a mother, so she felt a little pity for her, and that was why she was willing to lower her attitude and give her enough respect.

But who is Shen Ruyin?

Not only did she covet her elder sister's fiancé, she even committed adultery with someone in the temple. If such a shameless woman could enter their Feng family, she would have to be dead.

Seeing Mrs. Feng's expression, Shen Qiyin knew that today's event would be accomplished.

All that was missing was a fire, so she just added it.

It is true that she came to break off the engagement, but it was not just for the purpose.

She came to cut off Shen Ruyin's retreat!

The affair between Shen Ruyin and Feng Heng in her previous life was not exposed to the public, so when she offered to enter the mansion as a concubine to serve Feng Heng, the Feng family did not refuse.

Now that she has a bad reputation, no one dares to marry her. Even if she is determined to follow Feng Heng, it depends on whether the Feng family is willing to take her in.

At that time, Shen Qiyuin suddenly became curious about how her family would treat Shen Ruyuin, a bastard daughter who was of no use at all. After all, that family was used to making the best use of everything.

After Feng Ruoying finished speaking, Mrs. Feng saw that Shen Qiyin did not respond, so she spoke carefully as she expected: "Logically speaking, you and Ying'er are both younger, and you are a girl who has not yet married, so there are some things that are difficult to say to you."

"But your grandmother and mother were the only ones who didn't come. I have no choice but to tell you the reason."

"Although Heng'er is usually unrestrained, he is not so foolish as to go to the temple and make trouble. I asked him about it yesterday. He said that your sister invited him in your name and put some dirty things in the room, which made him lose his mind and fall for the evil scheme."

The implication is that Feng Heng is also a victim and cannot be expected to be held responsible.

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin muttered to himself thoughtfully: "Could it be the love incense..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing!" She denied hastily, but she seemed to be trying to cover up the truth.

"No! You must know something." Feng Ruoying remembered that she had uncovered the scandal between her brother and Shen Ruyin yesterday just because she was following her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

"Yesterday I clearly saw you hurriedly going to the back hills, and you also told your maid not to let anyone else know. You obviously knew about this a long time ago, right?"

Feng Ruoying felt that she had already discovered the truth and became more aggressive.

Mrs. Feng also looked suspicious.

Under the mother and daughter's questioning, Shen Qiyin seemed to finally be unable to bear it. She looked embarrassed and said with dim eyes: "Yesterday, my third sister and I were copying scriptures in the dormitory. She said her neck was sore and she wanted to go out to relax, but she didn't come back yet."

"I was afraid that if I delayed too long, my grandmother would scold me, so I asked Rendong to go out and look for her. Unexpectedly, I saw her sneaking to the back mountain, and Rendong also saw your son there."

"At that time, I didn't know they would go to such lengths. I just thought they were meeting in private, and if someone saw them, I wouldn't be able to explain myself, so I wanted to go find her."

Feng Ruoying obviously didn't believe it: "Can you be so kind?" She still remembered how she forced her sister to kneel down in front of him yesterday. Don't try to fool her!

Shen Qiyin smiled sadly: "Of course not."

"She and I are not born of the same mother. My mother is kind and gentle. She loves all my father's children. She treats those concubines' sons and daughters more attentively than me, so I am very jealous of them. My relationship with my two concubine sisters is not bad, but it can't be called a deep sisterly relationship."

"But we are a family after all. If we rise together, we rise together and fall together, if I don't help her suppress this scandal, what good will it do to my reputation if it gets out?"

Although Shen Qiyin's words were a bit cold, they were actually quite frank.

If she kept saying that she was thinking about Shen Ruyin, Mrs. Feng would have to think about it.

But she just weighed the pros and cons, which made people believe it.

Feng Ruoying was listening at the side, but couldn't help asking, "I followed you all the way to the back mountain yesterday, but how come you suddenly disappeared halfway?"

“…lost.”

"what?"

"I only walked this path once a long time ago when I went up the mountain to collect herbs. I vaguely remember there was a small path there, so I chose to walk there because I didn't want to attract attention. But I turned off not long after I got there, and I wandered around in the woods for a long time before I came out. My clothes were all torn."

Feng Ruoying wanted to laugh at her stupidity, but after noticing the words in her words, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Collecting herbs? I didn't expect you to know medicine?"

"How could the daughter of the Dragon King not know how to make it rain? My father is an imperial physician, and my brothers and sisters have learned a little from him, so they naturally know a little bit."

"So, Shen Ruyin can do it too?"

Shen Qiyin realized that he had said something wrong and quickly denied it: "No, my third sister..."

"Alright, stop covering up for her. I heard you mumbling about that fragrance just now." Feng Ruoying rolled her eyes at her. After listening carefully, she felt a bit disappointed in her: "You are such a coward. Shen Ruyin, that little bitch, has ridden on you and shit on you. It would have been fine if you didn't slap her back, but you actually defended her?"

"What else can I do?" Shen Qiyin raised his eyes and looked at Feng Ruoying. His gaze was so calm that it was almost dead, which made Feng Ruoying feel inexplicably blocked in her heart.

"Family disgrace should not be made public. If I quarrel with her over this, it will only upset my grandmother and mother."

"I'm not popular with them to begin with, so why would I create more trouble and annoy them?"

After saying this, Shen Qiyin lowered her eyes to hide the surging thoughts in her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she seemed to have returned to her calm and invulnerable appearance.

"I've been out for a while, and it's time for me to go back." Shen Qiyin said, and was about to get up and say goodbye.

Mrs. Feng stood up to see her off, looking at her with a complicated look.

Although she was satisfied with Shen Qiyin as her daughter-in-law, now thinking about the weird family behind her, she felt that the failure of this marriage might not be a bad thing.

It's a pity for such a smart person.

It's a pity that a phoenix is ​​trapped among doves and crows.

He said no more and just asked someone to get the engagement letter that the Shen family had sent at that time, and also asked someone to find Feng Heng to ask for the token of love that Shen Qiyin had sent him.

Unexpectedly, the little maid who went to get the token returned empty-handed.

"Madam, the young master said that he didn't know where he put the purse that Miss Shen gave him that day. He asked the young lady not to worry, and he would return it to you when he found it later."
