"That's fine, let's not talk about it for now. I came here to ask you, who gave you the courage to ask you to break off your engagement with the Feng family? Do you still have me, your grandmother, in your eyes?!"
"Look at what you said. My granddaughter is not blind. How could she not see you?"
"you……"
"The marriage certificate was originally given to me by my mother." The implication is that you have no right to interfere.
These words really irritated Old Lady Shen, and she immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
"Even if it's your mother, she can't go beyond my order! She dared to call off the marriage without my consent. I think she is living a comfortable life and wants to suffer a little."
Madam Shen's words were obviously a misunderstanding. She thought that Shen Qiyin dared to go to the Feng family to cancel the engagement because he listened to Madam Shen.
Shen Qiyin didn't explain either.
Instead, he continued ambiguously: "Alas, grandma is really old. How can she not see through such a simple thing?"
"Third sister has done such a shameful thing, which has already cut off my marriage fate. If I rush to marry Mr. Feng, how will the world view our Shen family?"
"It's not enough to have a concubine's daughter who offers herself to marry someone else, but there has to be a legitimate daughter who is shameless enough to throw herself at someone else. Then people will say that none of the Shen family's girls are good. It's not a big deal to delay the fourth sister's marriage, but if it affects the future reputation of the two brothers, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
As the saying goes, hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.
Madam Shen's Achilles' heel is obviously her son and grandsons.
Sure enough, after Shen Qiyin finished speaking, her eyes became thoughtful and her anger subsided a little.
Seeing this, Shen Qiyin gave another strong prescription: "Mother and son are connected by heart. Grandmother naturally understands that father values reputation the most."
"If he is released from prison in the future and finds out that people outside are scolding him for selling his daughter for fame and fortune, saying that he has no integrity at all and is just looking up to others, with his noble character, he will regret why he didn't die in prison in the first place."
She was not lying, Shen Cang actually said this.
She will try her best to help him realize this wish.
She spoke with such certainty that Old Madam Shen was stunned.
Not to mention that Old Madam Shen was a woman in seclusion, what about Shen Guangzong? He claimed that he was well-versed in the books of sages since he was a child, but he was still confused by Shen Qiyin's few words.
Because he was also caught in a weak spot.
As it concerns his future career and current reputation, he is extremely cautious, fearing that he might make a wrong step.
"Grandma, what Qiyin said makes sense."
This marriage is over, there is nothing to regret.
As for Feng Heng, that uneducated and unlearned playboy, who only relied on his father, even if Shen Qiyin married him, Shen Guangzong didn't think that such a waste as him could be of any help to him.
Now that the autumn examination has passed, he is confident that he can pass.
By the time he takes part in the imperial examination next spring, he will be able to rise to the top.
Besides, although Mrs. Shen was still unwilling to hear her grandson say this, she thought that the matter was done and it was useless to insist, so she couldn't help but curse Shen Ruyin a thousand times in her heart.
If she hadn't been restless and caused trouble, there wouldn't be all these troubles now!
Thinking of the news that the servants had heard from outside today, everyone was saying that it was Shen Ruyin who deliberately seduced Feng Heng and shamelessly gave him that filthy drug to make it happen. Her reputation has become ruined.
The Feng family has not come to give them an explanation yet. I guess they don't want to take responsibility anymore.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen's face was filled with sorrow.
Shen Qiyin looked at him with an indifferent expression, but his heart was filled with joy, one flower after another, forming a string.
The Shen family was of low status and could not afford to offend the Feng family. Furthermore, with Madam Shen's weak character, she would never dare to go to the Feng Mansion to seek an explanation and could only suffer in silence.
Shen Qiyin thought secretly, this is great, the old lady often says "suffering a loss is a blessing", this time she is really blessed.
Before leaving Zhuijin Hall, she saw Old Madam Shen still sighing.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "It's getting late, Grandma, go to bed early and don't be sad."
"My ability is limited, so I'm afraid I can't help much with my father, but I will still try my best to ask the officer of the Thousand Eagle Guard. Even if I can't rescue him, it would be good to see him and see if he is safe."
After saying that, she bowed and said, "Granddaughter, take your leave."
"Hey!" Old Madam Shen suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute."
"What do you want, Grandmother?"
"You said... can you see your father?" There was calculation in her brows.
"I can't guarantee that I will be able to see it, but even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, my granddaughter wants to try."
"If father is safe and sound, come back and tell grandma, so that you can rest assured. On the other hand, if... father is in bad condition, we must quickly think of other ways.
"Anyway, it's better than being completely in the dark like this, what do you think?"
Madam Shen nodded and sighed: "That makes sense..."
Shen Qiyin stood there obediently and was not in a hurry to leave.
as predicted.
Old Madam Shen thought for a moment, then asked the maid to bring out a box of silver, exactly one hundred taels.
She asked someone to give it to Shen Qiyin, and told him, "Take this money and make arrangements."
Shen Qiyin did not answer.
She hesitated, "...Grandma, let's not pay the money. What if they take the money but don't allow me to see my father? Wouldn't that be my granddaughter's fault?"
She remembered her mother's experience as a lesson.
"What do you know?" Old Madam Shen rolled her eyes at her, looking down on her petty behavior, and said, "Money makes the world go round. Even if they can't get things done, they may be able to take care of your father if they get some benefits. Just take them."
"Yes."
Only then did she accept it.
I couldn't help but think, although this old lady is stingy with others, she is very generous to her own son.
Then he said, "After you finish your work with the Thousand Eagle Guards, don't neglect Guangren Hall. The expenses of the mansion have been very high recently. Although you don't earn much, it is still an income after all."
"……Yes."
Looking at her memory, I almost treated her as a human being again.
Shen Guangzong and Shen Qiyin walked out of Zhuijin Hall together. Shen Qiyin walked behind him, holding a box of silver given to her by Old Madam Shen in her arms. Her eyes were sparkling as if dotted with little stars.
She earned three times the amount of money in just one day, and was one step closer to buying her dream house. She was so happy!
When they reached the fork in the road, Shen Guangzong turned left to the study. When he turned around, he inadvertently glanced at Shen Qiyin, and his face unconsciously darkened.
"I advise you to be careful. Don't think that going to the Eagle Pavilion twice is a big deal. If you try to be smart and make Xiao Yan unhappy, don't beg me to save you when the time comes!"
"Don't worry, brother." Even if I die outside, you won't have to collect my body!
"It's windy, brother, please go back quickly."
Don't be so resentful that you will end up making sarcastic remarks to everyone.
