Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin looked at Madam Shen with a gloomy look, as if smiling.

Originally, she had no intention of interfering in the divorce matter because she could fully foresee how miserable the situation a divorced woman would face.

But at this moment, she changed her mind.

She's going to make her even worse!

Besides, when Shen Cang heard Mrs. Shen mention the reward money in Shen Qiyin's hand, he was tempted, but he knew very well in his heart that it was not something he could get with just a few words.

However, Mrs. Shen’s dowry was within his reach!

So Shen Cang said, "It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere in the matter between us father and daughter."

"What you need to do is to quickly bring me your dowry."

"If you can really fill this hole, I might consider not divorcing you."

This is false at first sight.

But Mrs. Shen, who was extremely confused, believed it.

Because she had no choice but to believe.

There is no one in her family to rely on. She is a powerless woman wandering around with a lot of money. What's the difference between this and walking into a beggar's den with meat buns in her hand!

Stealing or robbing is fine, but if it gets serious, she might even lose her life.

To put it another way, considering the current situation of the Shen family, based on her understanding of Shen Cang and the old lady, it is impossible for them to watch her take away all the dowry. They might even do something desperate.

In that case, she might as well take out the money on her own initiative, maybe she can use it to negotiate terms with them.

Therefore, after hearing Shen Cangsong's words, Mrs. Shen hurried back to her Ningxiangyuan to retrieve the tickets.

That is the ticket of Tongbao Money House.

It was written on it that there were a total of 3,726 taels of silver.

Shen Cang felt relieved only after he got the ticket.

Mrs. Shen looked at him expectantly: "Master..." Could he not divorce her?

Unexpectedly, Shen Cang put the paper into his sleeve, turned his face away and said, "Someone, get her out!"

"Master?!" Mrs. Shen was horrified.

The servants had been waiting in the room for a long time. They didn't give her any chance to say anything and just marched her out.

Mrs. Shen went crazy immediately: "Let me go! Let me go!"

"I am the mistress of this mansion. Don't you even listen to me?"

Seeing that they were unmoved, Madam Shen turned her gun around and yelled at Shen Cang, "Shen Cang, you go back on your word, you are not a human! You are a beast, a beast!"

“Ahhhhh… I gave you all my dowry. You promised me… You clearly promised me…”

"I curse you to die badly!"

“Yin’er, please help me, please help me.” She struggled madly, kicking and rolling, totally disregarding her image: “You have always been filial, how can you bear to watch me end up like this?”

She cried and made a fuss, and seeing that Shen Qiyin was unmoved, she started to quarrel with him again, just like every time before.

"You ungrateful wolf! You are an ungrateful wolf!"

"Hahahaha...your father is a big white-eyed wolf, and he gave birth to a little white-eyed wolf like you..."

As she was dragged further away, the sound became quieter.

The servant followed Shen Cang's instructions and dragged Mrs. Shen to the steps outside the gate. They pushed her to the ground without any care and threw the divorce letter in front of her.

"The master said that from now on, you will have nothing to do with the Shen family."

"If you don't want to embarrass the Second Miss for nothing, then leave now and stop making fun of yourself."

After the old woman finished speaking, she told the servant to close the door.

Madam Shen stood up in a panic, rushed to the door and banged on it frantically: "Open the door, open the door! I am the mistress of the Shen family, the only mistress in this mansion!"

"I gave him all my dowry, so he can't divorce me."

"My daughter is a county lady, she won't ignore me, no!"

……

She cried and howled, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

When they heard what she said, they were all very surprised.

"Everything was fine, why did Mr. Shen suddenly divorce his wife?"

"How can it be fine? Don't you know what happened in Guihua Lane before?"

"Alas, poor Madam Shen, such a good person." An old woman shook her head and sighed, "I heard that she treats all the younger generations as her own children, and many of the clothes and accessories she wears are made by herself. She really has the demeanor of a lady of a wealthy family."

Chu Si stood in the crowd with his arms folded across his chest. After hearing this, he spat out the straw stick in his mouth and sneered, "What the old lady said is wrong. She never treated those illegitimate children as her own. The ones she gave birth to herself could not have such a good life."

"If you really love the second girl, you won't let her show up in public to make money for medical treatment."

"If this is the case with one's own children, let alone those who are not one's own children, no matter how good they are, they are just pretending to be virtuous."

Butcher Zhang passed by with a pig's head in his hand and couldn't help but agree: "Young man, you are young, but you see things clearly."

"If it were me, Old Zhang, who was in such a situation, I wouldn't care if he was my father or mother. If he was unkind, I wouldn't blame me for being unjust. I would just chop him up and be done with it."

"Brother, you are a good chatterbox and I like you. Come on, I'll give you these two pig ears to go with your drinks."

……

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Mrs. Shen not only did not stop, but instead had a feeling of throwing away the whole thing, and she shouted louder and louder, as if she wanted to let everyone know that the Shen family had let her down.

Because she was too excited and used too much force, her palms turned red and even bled.

She felt pain at first, but now she just felt numb.

She greeted all the ancestors of the Shen family, her voice becoming hoarse.

Just when she was exhausted, the door that had been closed suddenly opened slowly.

She turned her head suddenly and saw Shen Qiyin standing in the door with a solemn expression. The look he gave her was calm, without the heartache she had imagined, nor the hatred she had worried about seeing.

Some are just peaceful.

Or, it should be said that it was dead silence.

"Yin, Yin'er..." This was the first time that Madam Shen felt so clearly and strongly that her daughter might really give up on her: "You are the only one I have, you can't just ignore me."

Relying on her large number of people, she wanted to put Shen Qiyin on the spot and even kowtow to her.

"Mom, please help me. Don't let your father divorce me."

"You are a piece of flesh that fell from my mother. How can you not feel sorry for her?"

Shen Qiyin rarely said anything irrelevant to deliberately anger her as he usually did.

She slowly squatted down, looked straight into Mrs. Shen's tearful and resentful eyes, and said word by word: "Mother has lied so many times, and now she is telling lies with her eyes open. Don't I feel sorry for you enough?"

"you……"

"You blamed me for not being a boy, which made you lose face in front of my grandmother and father, and you beat and scolded me. Although I felt bitter, I never felt resentful, because I loved you."

"You are a fool and have offended Grandmother many times. I stepped in to protect you several times, but Grandmother used the family rules to beat me to vent her anger. It was also because I felt sorry for you."

"You were afraid that people would say that you were harshly treating your illegitimate children, so you put them first in everything and never thought of me. I didn't dare to care about it because I felt sorry for you!"

"But ask yourself, are you worthy of my sympathy?"

After Shen Qiyin said this, those who were watching the fun almost unanimously spoke in her favor.

Mrs. Shen cares about three things most in her life.

One is to give birth to a son.

The second is the love of my husband.

The third is the reputation of being a virtuous wife.

The first two things were doomed to fail. If she were to become a hated person when the time comes, she might as well be dead!

But she had personally experienced how powerful Shen Qiyin's mouth was, and even if she wanted to stop him she couldn't, and could only worry.

Shen Qiyin: "For so many years, when you have nothing to do, you have been picking on me, your daughter, together with your grandmother and father. You have always been disdainful of me. But whenever you encounter some trouble, you always think of me first and push me out without hesitation to take the blame for you."

"Sometimes I even doubt, am I really your child?"

"Of course, of course!" Mrs. Shen did not dare to pause for even a second. Knowing that she was her biological mother, she was already cruel enough to do that. If she were to mistakenly believe that they were not mother and daughter, she would kill herself.

So, Madam Shen explained in an anxious tone: "You are my child born after ten months of pregnancy. The toad sand on your wrist was put on you by your mother herself."

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin's eyes flashed: "What did you say?" Shougongsha? !

It’s not a mole!

"At that time, your elder sister asked the monks in the temple to help with the burning. But they were a bunch of grown men, so they didn't know how to control the force when they were beating. Mother was afraid that you would feel pain, so she burned it for you herself."

This is not entirely false.

But the truth is, if you ask the monks in the temple to help your child with the toad sand, you have to donate incense money.

Old Madam Shen was reluctant to spend the money, so she asked Mrs. Shen to find a way herself.

How could she do that? She bravely tried to do it, but accidentally tapped the wrong spot, and the toad's blood that was originally intended to be tapped on the forearm ended up on the wrist.

Shen Qiyin frowned.

She remembered her master saying that this "Shougongsha" was not accurate. Moreover, she had never heard of anyone around her ordering this thing, not even Shen Ruyin and Shen Mengyin.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Madam Shen also thought of this, so she hurriedly explained: "When your father was an official in the Imperial Hospital, the former head of the hospital had already said that this thing can't be done accurately."

"After the news spread, few families continued to do it. It was your grandmother who was so stubborn that she insisted on doing it this way."

However, by the time of Shen Ruyin and Shen Mengyin, there were few families in the entire capital who could still make uterine blood, so the old lady stopped insisting.

Shen Qiyin looked down at the bright red on her wrist, but she didn't feel anything special.

She never really doubted her origins.

Because if she was not the daughter of the Shen family, then everyone, including her mother, should not have the attitude of disdain and complaint towards her.

"Yin'er, Yin'er..." Madam Shen tugged at her skirt pitifully, "Mother knows she was wrong. Mother will never let you down again. For the sake of our mother-daughter relationship, please help me again."

"it is good."

Mrs. Shen was overjoyed!

But before she could speak, Shen Qiyin continued, "I can persuade my father to let you have a place in the mansion so that you don't have to live outside in the open air, but I can't make him give up the idea of ​​divorcing you."

"You..." Mrs. Shen frowned: "Why are you so useless!"

"If you can't stop him from divorcing me, then how can you call it helping me?" She was instantly defeated: "If I stay in the mansion in a confused state, will I be reduced from a wife to a concubine?"

Shen Qiyin was thinking about aunt?

It’s a nice thought.

The onlookers saw Madam Shen's expression change so quickly, and couldn't help but speak up for Shen Qiyin and said, "It's the bastard's fault. Just divorce this vicious woman. Why bother with her?"

"Ah, no wonder the Taoist says that there must be something hateful about pitiful people."

"Miss Shen is a fairy-like person, how could she be born into such a family and have such a mother?"

……

Shen Qiyin had already turned and left.

Seeing that the two vermilion lacquered doors were about to close, Mrs. Shen took a quick step forward and squeezed in through the crack in the door.

There are only two paths before her now.

One life.

One dead.

No matter how aggrieved she felt, she had no choice but to go back obediently.

Little did they know that this was also a dead end!

Shen Qiyin took her back to Ningxiang Courtyard, but found that everything in the house had been cleared out by the servants, leaving only a bare hard bed.

Mrs. Shen was stunned: "This is..."

"Father said that nowadays our family is different from before, so we don't want to support idle people. If mother wants to survive, she should work hard. After all, the more you work, the more you earn. Otherwise, you will starve."

Mrs. Shen's eyes were as big as copper bells.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Thanks to her, Shen Qiyin came up with this good idea on the spur of the moment.

What's the point of chasing her out of the house? If she leaves, she might go to Guangrentang and make trouble. It's better to keep her in the house so that she can see every day how her good husband loves other women.

At this time, a nanny who was usually in charge of serving Jiang Wan called two maids to come and put chains on Madam Shen's feet. She said, "The master just said that Sun is crazy. He is afraid that she will wander around the mansion and offend the concubine, so he asked her to be locked up in Ningxiang Courtyard. Every day, the clothes from all the courtyards should be collected and washed for her. No one is allowed to let her out."

Even if Mrs. Shen was not crazy originally, she would probably go crazy after hearing this.

"Jiang Wan, that bitch, must have been the one who instigated this!"

"Shen Cang, you are not a human..."

"Shen Qiyin! You watched your own mother being bullied like this. You are unworthy of being a daughter. You will definitely be punished in the future!"

She glared at Shen Qiyin fiercely, just like before. In the end, the person she resented the most was still herself.

Shen Qiyin just smiled.

Retribution?

She has already got it, otherwise how could she have ended up with such a mother.

Just like the last time Mrs. Shen was under house arrest, the courtyard door slowly closed between her and her daughter. The difference was that this time Shen Qiyin never turned around and left.

She just stared at it intently, seeing with her own eyes the insane Mrs. Shen being locked behind the wooden door and screaming in collapse.

That day, she stood in front of the door of Ningxiangyuan for a long time.

Until someone came from the palace!

The eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict said that His Majesty urgently summoned her to the palace!
