There was a beggar hiding deep in the alley. Shen Yaozu originally wanted to coax him and ask him to help him go home to report the news.
But he had no money on him, and no matter how much he talked, the beggar remained unmoved.
Just when he was at his wit's end and at a loss for what to do, he saw a short figure walking towards the entrance of the alley. It was obviously a child.
Children are mostly soft-hearted and easily deceived.
So Shen Yaozu hurriedly called out to the other person, "Hey! Hey kid, stop right there."
The other party stopped and looked into the alley following the sound.
Because of the backlight, Shen Yaozu could not see the child's appearance clearly.
Of course, he didn't care.
At this moment, he was only anxious to seek help from the other party: "Good boy, do me a favor, and I will buy you some candy later."
The other party was silent for a while, and then replied: "...What help?"
Seeing that there was hope, Shen Yaozu was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Go to the Shen family in Guihua Lane and find the gatekeeper and tell them that their master asked him to come here."
"As long as you can bring the person here, I will buy you everything you want, not just candy!"
The child further confirmed: "The Shen family in Guihua Lane... is it the family of Doctor Erya of Guangren Hall?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's right there!" Shen Yaozu didn't care about hating Shen Qiyin at this moment, and even said excitedly: "That doctor Erya is my sister, my real sister!"
Hearing this, the child said "Oh" meaningfully, "I was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar, it turns out to be the 'famous' Second Master Shen."
"You are……"
"Mr. Shen, how are you?"
As he spoke, the child walked into the dim alley, allowing Shen Yaozu to see his face clearly.
It was actually Si Tunan!
The moment their eyes met, Shen Yaozu felt his scalp go numb.
This is what it means when enemies meet on a narrow road.
When he was at his most miserable and miserable, he was actually seen by this little bastard who once defeated him. How could he survive?
Thinking about how he was still half naked, Shen Yaozu suddenly felt like someone had stepped on his tail, and he yelled, "Stand there! Don't come over here!"
It would be strange if Si Tunan would listen.
Not only did he go over, he even looked closely at Shen Yaozu's entire body.
Finally, he said in confusion: "Did you lose the bet again?"
"The bet is that whoever loses will run around the street naked?"
"...You, shut, up!" Shen Yaozu said gritting his teeth.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Si Tunan shook his head and sighed, "You just said that as long as I go to the Shen Mansion to call a servant for you, you will buy me whatever I want. Are you serious?"
"Of course I take it seriously." Shen Yaozu didn't dare to believe it: "It's just..."
"Will you help me?"
Si Tunan shook his head and corrected him: "This is not called helping, but trading."
"But then again, what if I bring someone back and you regret it?"
"Tsk, I don't need your little money!"
"That won't work either. Words are not enough. You need some proof so that you can deny it." He searched his body for a while and said angrily, "I didn't bring any paper or pen with me. So, wait for me. I'll find someone to be a witness."
"What's the matter?"
witness?
Have you witnessed him running around the streets naked?
Shen Yaozu almost went crazy: "Don't go!"
But it's too late.
Si Tunan turned around and shouted loudly to the street: "Grandpas and aunts, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters!"
When he shouted, all the men, women, old and young who were passing by looked towards him.
Shen Yaozu had no choice but to turn around and try to run, but Si Tunan grabbed him tightly: "Hey, don't leave, didn't we agree to make a deal?"
"Let go, let go!"
Shen Yaozu had one arm pulled by him, and had to hold the curtain with his other hand to cover his lower body. He was afraid that if he struggled too much he would expose himself, so he was unable to shake off Si Tunan.
The latter seized the opportunity to shout: "Okay, you really lied to me!"
"You said you would buy me anything as long as I went to the Shen family to call someone for you. I'm still a child! You even lied to a child. Do you have any shame?"
"Oh no, you dare to run around naked on the street, I guess you don't want it anymore."
"Anyway, you are not allowed to leave!" Si Tunan simply sat on the ground and hugged his thighs with his hands and feet: "You are playing tricks on me, do you think I am easy to bully?"
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Shen Yaozu's eyes turned red with anxiety.
"Little ancestor, what do you want?"
Si Tunan looked up at him and said, "Apologize to me."
"sorry!"
"Call daddy."
"...You little bastard, don't be so arrogant!"
"Everyone, come and see, Shen Er..."
"father!"
Before Situnan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Yaozu's crisp "Dad".
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he said fiercely, "Dad! Grandpa! Ancestor!"
"Alright? Can you let me go?"
Situ Nan finally let go.
But Shen Yaozu still couldn't escape successfully.
The reason is: the Jinwu Guards are here!
The husbands of the young ladies who were frightened by Shen Yaozu's naked body at the beginning became angrier and angrier, and they reported the matter to the Jinwu Guards patrolling the night market.
So, there was the scene that Shen Qiyin saw first.
The two Jinwu Guards had complicated expressions on their faces, and Shen Yaozu was speechless.
In the end, he was thrown into jail on the charge of "running naked in the street, violating public morals".
If the Shen family is willing to pay the ransom, he will be released tomorrow.
But if they are reluctant to pay the twenty taels fine, Shen Yaozu will have to stay in jail for fifteen days before he can be released after serving his sentence.
When Shen Cang heard the news in his mansion, his first reaction was not anger, but confusion.
He didn't know what to be angry about.
That evil creature actually dared to go to a brothel!
It would have been bad enough that he went to a brothel, but he was stripped naked by the prostitutes there and thrown into the street.
That’s not all, he actually ran around the streets naked!
What a shame!
Shen Cang stroked his chest and fell straight into the chair, almost unable to breathe.
Madam Shen hurried forward and said with concern: "Master, please think more positively, and be careful not to get yourself in trouble."
"If even you fall, won't Yaozu be even more hopeless?"
"You have to make the decision on this matter."
Shen Cang's face was pale and his lips were purple. He was very angry at first glance and said angrily, "Don't worry about him! Let him learn a lesson in prison, otherwise he might cause trouble in the future!"
What Shen Cang said was correct.
But Madam Shen refused to agree.
Shen Cang was angry at Shen Yaozu, so she was angry at Shen Cang. She said to Madam Shen with a sullen face, "Go! Take the silver and bring Yaozu back from prison for me."
Madam Shen glanced at Shen Cang's expression and said in embarrassment: "But the master just said..."
"His words work, but mine don't, right?"
"...Of course not. How dare I disobey you?"
Xianglan closed her eyes speechlessly, not wanting to see Mrs. Shen's cowardly look.
It was Shen Qiyin who "helped" her out and said, "Grandma, you are joking. Where did mother get the money?"
She looked at Mrs. Shen deeply and hinted, "Isn't the key to the warehouse in your hands?"
"Yes, yes." Madam Shen quickly agreed: "Whenever I need to withdraw money, I will come to you to report it. Your hands are really cleaner than your face."
Old Madam Shen didn't think anything of what he said, but alarm bells immediately rang in Shen Cang's heart!
No, the warehouse key can no longer be kept by the old lady.
Otherwise, she could have taken the initiative to use the money to redeem Shen Yaozu from prison today, and who knows what else she might have done tomorrow to spoil her grandson.
Shen Cang felt uneasy when he thought about it.
So he said, "Mother, you haven't been feeling well lately. Anyway, Huilan is the housekeeper now, so I think you should give her the key to the storeroom as well."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen was naturally overjoyed.
But Madam Shen's expression changed immediately: "You don't trust me?"
"Mother, what are you talking about? I was just thinking that if Huilan wants to withdraw money, she will have to bother you. If she really disturbs your rest, won't she lose more than she deserves?"
"Besides, she is the housekeeper but she has no money. It will not sound good if the news gets out."
Old Madam Shen was not willing to agree and kept making excuses for it.
However, Shen Cang seemed determined to "seize power". No matter what excuses Old Lady Shen gave, he just said: "Mother, just give the key to Huilan."
Old Madam Shen was very angry.
She simply leaned over and pretended to be fainted from anger, hoping to fool the man for the time being and make plans later.
But Shen Qiyin said to the servant who was serving her at this time: "Go and get the key to the storeroom."
"But, but..."
"How can my grandmother manage the money when she is so ill?"
Shen Cang also said sternly: "Didn't you hear what the Second Miss said? Hurry up and go!"
"……Yes."
The maid responded and went into the inner room to get the key.
Old Madam Shen leaned on the low couch. For a moment, she didn't know whether to continue to be unconscious or to wake up suddenly. She couldn't open her eyes and her eyelids were twitching.
But Mrs. Shen was extremely happy when she got the key.
When he walked out of Zhuijin Hall, his steps were much lighter than usual.
Shen Qiyin looked at him calmly, thinking, are you happy? Don't worry, you won't be happy soon.
really!
Mrs. Shen happily took her people to the warehouse, but when she got there she was dumbfounded.
Where is her dowry?
Where is her huge dowry? !
Mrs. Shen was not completely stupid after all. She knew where the dowry had gone even with just a little thought.
She said, why was the old lady so happy to spend thousands of taels of silver before? It turned out that she had been spending all her dowry! No wonder she was so generous!
When it comes to her own interests, Mrs. Shen no longer acts like a coward and doesn't care about hierarchy or filial piety. She immediately rushes back to Zhuijin Hall in anger.
But Mrs. Shen claimed to be ill and refused to see him.
She also realized that her misappropriation of her daughter-in-law's dowry would be exposed sooner or later. In that case, she might as well take this opportunity to pretend to be sick to get away with it. I don't think she would dare to do anything.
Just as Old Madam Shen had expected, even though Mrs. Shen knew that her dowry was gone, she could not think of any way to get justice for herself. She just stayed in her room, angry as a puffer fish.
After walking back and forth in the room for an unknown number of times, Mrs. Shen paused, then suddenly turned around and left the house, heading straight for the Begonia Courtyard!
Xianglan followed silently, thinking to herself, I knew you would have to ask the second young lady for help.
With the fighting power of their second young lady, there is nothing she can't handle!
only--
The situation has changed now. It may not be easy for Madam to order the Second Miss around like she did before.
As expected, after Shen Qiyin heard Mrs. Shen's intention, his face was calm and he said calmly, "Didn't mother always teach me that a family shouldn't be so fussy?"
"That day I was reluctant to give the medical fee to grandma, but you said that money is something outside of one's body, which cannot be brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world, so there is no need to be attached to it."
"She also said that grandma is our elder and we should respect her."
"Why are you so fussy now?"
Mrs. Shen: "I..."
Shen Qiyin: "Are you starting to become obsessed with material things?"
"Don't tell me, you don't want to honor your grandmother anymore?"
Every word Shen Qiyin said was like a needle hidden in cotton. Mrs. Shen was speechless. She felt her face burning and wanted to rush out of the door right away.
She admitted that she was a little embarrassed that day, but she was her mother after all, so how could she embarrass herself like this!
Mrs. Shen was not very happy.
It was only because she needed help from the other party that she had to suppress her temper and coax her with kind words: "…It was always mother's fault before. I didn't know your grandmother would be so excessive!"
"She even swallowed up her daughter-in-law's dowry. She really doesn't care about her old face anymore."
"Yin'er, you must help me this time." Perhaps fearing that Shen Qiyin would not be moved, Mrs. Shen emphasized: "I want to ask for an explanation, not for myself, but for you."
Shen Qiyin raised his eyebrows: "For me?"
"Yes, it's for you." Madam Shen explained earnestly, "Just think about it, my dowry will be given to you in the future, but now your grandmother has taken away so much of it, so naturally there will be less for you in the future."
"If you find a way to get the dowry back, it may seem like you are helping me, but it is actually a good thing for you."
"Think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?"
Shen Qiyin stared at her with a meaningful smile: "Mother is right, it is indeed true."
Mrs. Shen was delighted when she heard this: "So, you are willing to help me?!"
"Mother, what are you talking about? According to what you just said, isn't Yin'er helping me?"
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Shen nodded repeatedly: "Tell me quickly, what should I do?"
"Not urgent."
After saying this, Shen Qiyin stood up and went into the inner room.
Mrs. Shen looked forward to it, full of doubts.
Just when she couldn't sit still anymore and was about to get up and go in to take a look, Shen Qiyin finally came out.
She was holding a piece of paper with ink spots on it, which seemed to be full of words.
She handed it to Mrs. Shen: "Take a look at this first."
Mrs. Shen took it hesitantly.
Shen Qiyin then placed the ink pad in front of her, and said in a voice that showed no emotion, "If you have no objection, please put your hand print on it."
Mrs. Shen took a closer look and immediately got angry!
She slammed the paper on the table, glared at me, and said, "I'm still alive and well, why are you so anxious to prepare a will for me?"
