If another woman was asked such a question, she would probably be extremely embarrassed and angry.
But Shen Qiyu's face was still as calm as ever.
She opened her red lips and said casually, "Father, you worry too much..."
Hearing this, Shen Cang was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her face not blushing, her heart not beating, seemingly calm, but actually speaking madly, she replied: "My daughter is not pregnant."
Shen Cang didn't react at first.
I could only think with disappointment, what a pity, if I could get pregnant, maybe I could become famous by having a child.
After a moment, his mind finally came around.
"What did you say?!" He stood up suddenly and stared at Shen Qiyin in disbelief.
Did she really lose her virginity to Xiao Yan?
Perhaps this "fact" was such a huge blow to Shen Cang that before Shen Qiyin could even answer, he fell back on his chair and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood!
It was obvious that he was in a state of rage.
Shen Qiyin screamed in his heart and quickly dodged to the side, fearing that he would be covered in blood.
She poured a cup of tea for Shen Cang and "comforted" him, "Don't be upset, father. I am just thinking about having a child so that I can be honored as a mother. If you are not happy, I will not see him anymore in the future."
"you you……"
Shen Cang covered his heart and felt severe pain there.
He couldn't even finish a sentence.
Just at this moment, Zhu'er, who was beside Jiang Wan, came hurriedly and said that Aunt Jiang's aunt had come. Aunt Jiang then drove out all the servants. The two of them talked about something in the room and started quarreling.
They didn't dare to go in rashly, so they asked Shen Cang to go over to prevent Aunt Jiang from suffering any grievances.
After hearing this, Shen Qiyin's eyes moved slightly.
It came so quickly.
When she came back from Guangrentang, she asked someone to go to Aunt Jiang Wan's house to spread the news that Shen Cang had been fined.
If the fifty taels of silver are paid as soon as possible, the other party will definitely think that the Shen family is not short of money. In this case, they will definitely come to ask for the money.
It was just as she expected.
Shen Cang was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would be angered to death by this naughty girl, so he was planning to leave.
When he heard that something happened to Jiang Wan, he rushed over immediately.
Of course, there is another reason behind this.
Just now when Jiang Wan went to the yamen to pick him up, she inadvertently mentioned that Li Zhenzhu and the others were unwilling to use money to save him, so she was the only one who pawned her jewelry to barely raise enough money.
He was deeply moved by this.
He originally went there with the idea of "returning a favor" and being a hero to save the beauty, but when he reached the corridor, he heard a strange woman's voice coming from the room.
"No money?! Are you kidding me?" The other party said in a domineering tone, sounding like someone who is not easy to mess with: "Just now I saw you take fifty taels of silver to the government office with my own eyes."
"I'm telling you, stop crying poor in front of me. If you don't give me anything, I'll ask your man to go."
"Don't blame me for what you should and shouldn't say when the time comes!"
As soon as the words fell, footsteps were heard.
As they were talking, the door was opened from the inside, and a slightly older woman appeared in front of Shen Cang.
She was wearing a flowered jacket that looked pale from washing, her face was full of wrinkles, her cheekbones were high, and her eyes were slightly drooped, giving people the impression that she was difficult to get along with.
When she first saw Shen Cang outside the door, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled: "Oh, this is really the case that arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time. I just said I was going to look for you."
"Aunt!" Jiang Wan was immediately panicked: "Didn't you hang out your clothes and go back to collect them? I won't keep you here. I will definitely bring something to honor you another day."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Xia deeply, with a look full of hints.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xia didn't buy her trick at all.
I have already said so much just now. If I don't do it all in one go, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to enter this door in the future.
Therefore, Jiang Xia said directly to Shen Cang: "Master Shen, this little bitch has hidden a lot of things from you. As long as you give me ten taels of silver, I will tell you everything!"
Jiang Wan rushed over to stop her: "Master, don't listen to her nonsense!"
"Nonsense?" Jiang Xia glared at him and continued, "It's hard for you to remarry with such a grown son, so you tell everyone that Lan Ge'er is your sister's child. Is that true or not?"
“…That was originally my sister’s child.”
"Come on." Jiang Xia had an expression that said, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me." "A few days ago, a fellow villager came to Beijing and she said that your sister gave birth to a daughter!"
Shen Cang was shocked.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Wan, who suppressed her guilty conscience, hugged his arm, and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, my husband, don't listen to her nonsense."
Jiang Xia sneered: "I haven't finished talking about this yet."
"When you came to seek refuge, I asked you why you came all the way to the capital. You said that your husband was not a good match for you. He was always drinking and gambling. Later, he fell ill and died at a young age."
"You also said that your mother-in-law is mean and your sister-in-law is unruly. They drove you out of the house and left you to fend for yourself."
“That’s when I thought it was weird.”
Jiang Xia said, and deliberately glanced at Shen Cang: "Even if your mother-in-law and sister-in-law don't like you, can they even not want their eldest grandson, Brother Lan?"
"that is because……"
"Okay, stop making up stories! Aren't you tired?" Jiang Xia waved her hand and interrupted Jiang Wan's explanation.
She said, "It's obvious that your husband broke his leg accidentally, and you thought she was a waste, so you cheated on her and hooked up with Mr. Zhao from your place, and that's why you were kicked out of the Jia family."
"You are so shameless as to become his mistress."
"Unexpectedly, Madam Zhao is a powerful woman. You can't get along with her at all. You couldn't stay there any longer, so you had to flee far away to the capital."
Jiang Wan was horrified when he heard this.
"Sir, don't believe her one-sided words. What she said is not true..."
But before she could finish her words, Shen Cang shook her hand away and said angrily: "Then what is true? Tell me! What is true?"
Maybe it was because he was too excited, but his body swayed and he fell straight down.
In an instant, chaos ensued.
When Shen Qiyin was called to take his pulse, she found that his condition was just as she had guessed before, caused by a burst of anger.
In fact, he will wake up after two injections.
But Shen Qiyin said, "You'll wake up when you're full of sleep." She wouldn't bother.
If she has time, she will go back to see Xianglan.
Xianglan was cold and had a fever. She was crying in her dream and talking nonsense: "Woo... I'm so scared, I want to go home..."
"Nine stars in a row, seven stars in a row... round and smooth like jade... smooth, smooth, Runtu stabs the wild civet!"
"Why? Why are others either princesses or young ladies, but I am just a little maid? Anyone can come and pinch me, this is not fair!"
……
Xianglan kept chattering on and on.
Rendong and Shen Qiyin stood by the bed, both with confused looks on their faces.
What to say?
Ren Dong looked worried: "Sister, is Sister Xianglan possessed?"
Shen Qiyin frowned: "Maybe."
Otherwise, how could he say such crazy things.
I still miss home...
Her father sold her for a few taels of silver in order to build a house for his brother and get him married. She refused, so her father beat and scolded her and sent her to the Shen family. What was there to think about in a family like that?
He must be sick and confused.
Shen Qiyin woke her up and asked her to get up and take medicine.
Unexpectedly, Xianglan suddenly threw herself into her arms as soon as she opened her eyes, and asked her pitifully: "Miss, will you always protect me like today and not let me be bullied?"
"meeting."
"Will you always be good to me and let me have the best food and drink?"
"meeting."
"Then will you always treat me as your most beloved little darling and not let me be easily seduced by other coquettish bitches?"
Shen Qiyin said seriously: "Anyone who pushes the limit is not worthy of being my little baby."
Xianglan burst into laughter.
After taking the medicine, I finally stopped talking in my sleep when I went to sleep.
Shen Qiyin and Rendong took turns guarding her bed all night long, until dawn, when they were sure that her fever symptoms had not recurred, and then they rested for a while with peace of mind.
Xianglan's health improved, and Shen Cang, who had been in a coma for a night, finally woke up.
Jiang Wan thought that he would definitely argue with her, and she was even prepared to be divorced. After all, she decided to follow Shen Cang for money, but now he was penniless, and she had to find another way out.
Who knows——
But Shen Cang didn't even bother to pay attention to her.
As soon as he woke up, he ignored his weak body and busied himself selling the land on the farm.
Old Madam Shen thought he was crazy.
If he keeps the land, he can still make money. But once he loses even the land and has no proper way to make a living, when all his money is gone, he will really be left with nothing.
But how could she know that if she didn't sell the land, given the Shen family's current situation, they would probably be left with nothing!
After Shen Qiyin learned about this, he said to Shen Cang: "If you can't increase revenue, then cut costs."
Life is like this now, why do we still need servants?
Shen Cang felt that it made sense.
It was decided immediately to send away all the servants in the mansion, leaving only Dafu, the gatekeeper. All the other maids and servants in the various rooms and courtyards were not kept.
Even the cook was sent away.
As a result, the task of cooking naturally fell on the daughter-in-law Li Zhenzhu.
When she learned about this, her first reaction was to smash the pot until it leaked, then rushed to Zhuijin Hall and yelled at the mother and son: "Let me cook, and you just open your mouth and wait for food, dream on!"
Shen Cang's body had not recovered yet, and after hearing her quarrel, he felt his head buzzing.
His face was still pale, and he said with a little weakness: "The old lady is old... If you don't do it, do you want her to do it..."
"Oh, now that you are showing filial piety, why don't you do it?"
"I, I am a grown man, how can I hang around the stove?"
"If you don't want to revolve around the stove, where else do you want to revolve around? Revolving around the millstone, with your physique that takes three breaths to say a word, can you bear it?"
"you……"
Shen Cang's brows were furrowed with depression, and he felt that he couldn't communicate with the other party.
Li Zhenzhu was determined not to do it, so in the end, the job fell on Jiang Wan.
The latter are complaining bitterly.
She had gone to great lengths to enter the Shen family, originally intending to have a good life, but in the end, not only did she have to eat coarse food, but she also had to work like a slave for the whole family!
She finally understood why Shen Cang was so angry that day but did not drive her out of the house. It turned out that he was waiting for her here!
This dog man!
As for Old Madam Shen, she also complained about everything.
She was used to enjoying a good life, so she felt uncomfortable when there was no one to serve her all of a sudden. Besides, the food Jiang Wan cooked was not to her liking, so she had a long face the whole day.
The only person in this family who was not affected was Shen Qiyin.
She was not a noble lady who had everything she wanted, so it didn't matter if she lost Banxia. The reason she was kept was only because she had bullied Rendong in the past, and she wanted to torture her to vent her anger.
Just like that Nanny Wang.
When she was kicked out of the Shen family, Shen Qiyin went to find Nanny Dai and asked her to "take good care of" her.
When Xianglan found out, she excitedly held her face and gave her a kiss.
After Xiao Yan unexpectedly learned this from Rendong, he was silent for a long time.
Shen Qiyin originally wanted to take the opportunity to let Xianglan move out of the house and live in the house he bought to work as a housekeeper to gain experience, but she was unwilling to do so and insisted on staying with him and Rendong.
Therefore, she was kept.
Yueyin did not come from the Shen family. She followed Shen Qiyin like a little tail from morning to night every day and had meals with her in the clinic. Shen Cang did not say anything.
This day is it.
After they had lunch together in Guangrentang, Shen Qiyin took her to General Weiyuan's Mansion.
I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance just after getting off the carriage!
Jiang Jiyao was holding the arm of a woman of her own age and was about to walk into the general's residence. When she saw Shen Qiyin, she immediately became furious: "You're still haunting me! Why are you here?!"
"The dog is lost. I heard the barking here, so I came to check it out." She looked at Jiang Jiyao with a smile, and said angrily, "I didn't expect it to be here."
Jiang Jiyao frowned: "This is the entrance to the general's mansion, where did the dog come from?"
"Then I have to ask you, why are you here?"
"You, you scolded me?!"
"If you're not sure, I can do it again."
"you!"
"Hey, Ji Yao." At this time, the girl next to her in the crimson cloak hurriedly pulled her back and said, "There's no point in arguing like this."
Shen Qiyin's eyes flickered slightly.
This person...
Isn’t she the kind-hearted girl who spoke up for me behind my back at Lingyan Temple that day?
Xianglan also recognized the other person. She stood behind Shen Qiyin and tugged at her cloak, whispering to her, "Miss, it's her! It's her!" The embodiment of justice.
"Yeah." This world is really small.
Huo Fanshuang looked at Shen Qiyin and said righteously, "Ji Yao was rude just now, it was her fault, but what Xiangjun said was indeed a bit too much."
"It is rude to call such a beautiful girl a dog."
"I hope Xiangjun can apologize to Jiyao."
