"Mom, look at this letter." Shen Wan handed the letter written by the second room Xiao Yanping to Mother Xia.

Xia's mother took it and read it carefully, and said: "The people in the second room want to benefit from the clan house, and they are afraid that the young mistress will forgive young master Sun soon, so they wrote to say that they are willing to make decisions for the young mistress?"

Shen Wan nodded, and said slowly: "I think, this is written by the second uncle's second uncle at the request of the second uncle. If they want me to help them, then they should also help me. Before, I just thought Take the people from the second room to catch the adulterer on the spot, and then publicize this matter to coerce the Xiao family to agree to Xiao Yulang's reconciliation with me. Even so, the Xiao family may not easily agree to Xiao Yulang's reconciliation with me. My backhand, before I also told my mother that I want to go back to my mother’s house, ask my mother’s consent, and let her persuade my father, and then my father will persuade my grandfather to threaten the Xiao family with the business done between the Shen family and the Xiao family. Let them take care of the interests of the family, and thus agree to Xiao Yulang and me reconciling..."

Xia's mother answered: "At this moment, the person from the second room has written a letter. Young Mistress might as well ask the old man to tell Xiao Yanping that if you want Young Mistress to help them delay for a few days, then you must agree to help them speak in Xiao's family and agree with Young Mistress." Make peace with Young Master Sun."

Shen Wan added: "Mom can also tell them that if they stand on my side and help me reconcile with Xiao Yulang, in the future, some of the business between our Shen family and the Xiao family's patriarchal house can be allocated to the Xiao family's second house. Don’t dare to promise too much, half of it is okay.”

Xia's mother bowed: "The old man will go to the second room tomorrow to meet Xiao Yanping."

Shen Wan said again: "Then I'll wait for my mother to come back, let's go back to Shen's house together. Sooner or later, my parents must know about this matter, sooner rather than later."

After the two discussed it properly, Mother Xia went downstairs to go back to rest, and Shen Wan also asked someone to help her to wash up, and went back to the room early to sleep, and locked the door, and called An Dong and An Chun to stay in the room overnight.

She knew that Xiao Yulang would come to pester her when she came back, so she washed up early and went back to the room to rest.

Sure enough, after Shen Wan fell asleep for a while, she heard hurried footsteps coming from the north building, someone came to her bedroom, and then someone slapped on the outside door, shouting: "A Wan, open the door for my husband. "

Shen Wan lay on the bed and didn't speak, An Dong and An Chun didn't dare to say anything when they heard it, they didn't know what happened yet.

They only knew that in the afternoon today, Shen Wan was accompanied by Mother Xia. When she came back, the master's expression was very cold. Mother Xia accompanied her up and talked for a while in the study before leaving.After dinner, there was a letter from the maid of the second room, and soon, Mother Xia was called again, and went to the study in the south building to have a secret talk with the master.

Mother Xia went to the South Tower three times in one day, which had never happened before.

Generally speaking, when Mama Xia came to see the master, she only talked about important matters, and this three consecutive visits to the master only meant that something very serious happened.

But there was no rumor about what happened in the house, which made An Dong and An Chun even more confused.

In the evening, the master finished his meal, washed up and went to bed early, which was much earlier than usual, not to mention that Young Master Sun came back from Yangzhou today, the two husband and wife did not have dinner together, but they should sleep together at night.Why did the young mistress go to bed alone?

As for Young Master Sun, he came in a hurry and knocked on the door outside. It sounded very urgent and wanted to enter the house, but the young lady refused him.

Judging from this situation, it could be that the two had a fight today, and their two confidant maids don't know when and where they had the fight.

After thinking about it, the two of them agreed that since they were not in the south building anyway, they probably met Young Master Sun somewhere when they went out with Mother Xia and had a fight.Young Master Sun didn't have dinner with the young mistress at night, the young mistress was upset and went to bed early on purpose.

At first Xiao Yulang was knocking on the door with his palm, but finally he beat with his fist, his voice changed from anxious to dissatisfied and angry.

He knocked hard on the door, asking Shen Wan to open the door for himself, and he wanted to go in and talk to her.

Xiao Yulang's pounding on the door was quite loud, which frightened An Chun and An Dong who were still asleep inside.The two walked slowly to the bed where Shen Wan was lying, and asked her what to do as if asking for help.

Shen Wan sat up, got out of bed, put on her embroidered shoes, walked over, and said behind the door: "Don't you think there's not enough trouble, I don't want to tell you anything today, you go back and rest."

"Awan, listen to me, what happened today is because I lost my head, I'm sorry, promise me, don't take it to heart, okay?" Xiao Yulang said through the door, sounding like Sorry for the same.

Shen Wan almost wanted to laugh behind the door, she really wanted to say, it's a pity that Xiao Yulang doesn't want to be an actress, he is so good at acting.Today, upstairs in the tea house of He's family, when he took the second roomer to catch the rape, when he looked at him in embarrassment, his eyes were full of resentment, but now he pretended to be affectionate Mistake.

Xiao Yulang, he really is a "good husband of Jinling".

With a cold snort, Shen Wan said inside: "If I'm like you, having a secret meeting with a wild man outside, and you catch me, and I say the same thing as you, will you forgive me?"

"You..." Xiao Yulang was at a loss for words, and he said for a long time, "Can a man be the same as a woman? A woman has to serve her husband for the rest of her life when she gets married. A man has to add children to the clan, take in houses and take concubines. It is impossible for him to be like a woman all his life. With a woman."

"You don't use this argument to justify yourself."

"This is not to excuse myself, but men from rich families are like this. Our Xiao family, from my grandfather to my father, to my uncle and uncle, and the brothers in the next room, whoever gets married is not a group of wives and concubines. But I, I have been with you for three years. I have never taken in a house or taken a concubine, and you have not given birth, so I have other ideas. Awan, you feel your conscience and say that there are men in Jinling's famous family who can be like me. How many people have not accepted houses and taken concubines for three years. For three years, I feel that I have been worthy of you."

Shen Wan chuckled, and said sarcastically: "You are really worthy of me. I just came back from Yangzhou, and I couldn't wait to have a private meeting with your cousin. You keep saying that men take houses and concubines in order to increase the number of children for their ancestors. But she is not your roommate, nor your concubine, so how can you say that?"

Knowing that Shen Wan used those two maidservants as artificial bait for her in the room, her cousin Duanshu was fooled, and she was eager to meet her, which led to an accident.But facing Shen Wan's questioning at this moment, Xiao Yulang pretended to be confused and said deliberately: "...Didn't Awan tell my mother that she would be my concubine after I took over the house?"

"I said it before, and I want to tell you, you can take Chang'e from the sky, the princess of this dynasty as your concubine, and you can take it too? Or can't wait to get in?"

Shen Wan's joking words annoyed Xiao Yulang, he held back his smile, and asked her forcefully: "What on earth do you want to forgive me?"

"Let me think about it for three to five days. You can go back and rest. You must be tired after coming back from Yangzhou after a long journey." Shen Wan said lightly.

It was good if Shen Wan didn't mention it, but when it was mentioned, Xiao Yulang felt really tired and yawned all the time.

He thought that his grandfather gave him five days to persuade Shen Wan to let him go and forgive himself. Shen Wan said just now that she would have to think about it for three to five days before giving him an answer.

To be honest, he was not interested in the cold Shen Wan before, and usually getting along with her was just perfunctory for her.When something like this happened today, he realized that he hated her a little bit. If he hadn't confessed to his grandfather and passed the current hurdle, he wouldn't have humbly begged Shen Wan.

He decided that as long as the current hurdle is passed and the matter of him and his cousin Duan Shu being caught for rape is calm, he will send people to Yangzhou to buy some beautiful women and come back to take over the house and take concubines.It's better to have ten or eight, let them give birth to a litter of children, and Shen Wan will be so angry.

"Okay, I'll come back to you in three days, Awan, you rest, I won't bother you for husband." Xiao Yulang said harmoniously outside, sounding like a very considerate husband.

Shen Wan heard that he was putting on airs, so she also told Xiao Yulang to rest well in the same tone, and the two of them will talk again in three days, and then she must have calmed down, and can have a good talk with him.

After hearing this, Xiao Yulang turned and left. He went back to the North Building to wash up and go to bed.

He was really tired too, and it was almost noon when Xiao Yulang woke up from sleep.

His parents sent someone over and told him to go to Fuguitang with Shen Wan for dinner.

Xiao Yulang got up and was waited on to put on his clothes. After he was dressed neatly, he went to the south building. He planned to ask Shen Wan to go to Fugui Hall together.Last night, although Shen Wan said that he would wait three days before talking to him, he thought that going to eat with his parents together was not part of the conversation, and the two should still appear in front of their parents as husband and wife.

He also thought that most of the reason his parents told him to go to dinner with Shen Wan was to coax Shen Wan, tell her not to be serious, forgive himself, and continue to live on.

Who knows, when he arrived at the south building, he found that there was no one in the bedroom and study room in the south building, and Shen Wan and her two personal maids were not there.

So he found someone to ask where Shen Wan was.

The little maid told him that early in the morning, Shen Wan took two personal maids out, and those two personal maids were carrying burdens, as if they were going shopping.

"What? Why didn't you come and report to me earlier? You stupid lowly maid!" Xiao Yulang was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped the little maid angrily.

The little maid was slapped by Xiao Yulang and fell to the ground, she just covered her face and shed tears, not daring to cry out.

Xiao Yulang walked back and forth in the room with his hips crossed, very angry.

He knew that Shen Wan must have gone back to her mother's house. She said last night that she would wait for three days before answering him, but it was just a lie to him.This time when she returned to her natal family, the scandal he did with Tang Duanshu would be known to the Shen family.If the Shen family wanted to publicize this matter, the Xiao family would not be able to control it.

"Young Master Sun, this is a letter written by Young Mistress before she left. She told the servant that she will give you this letter when Young Master Sun wakes up." A maid who was dedicated to serving Shen Wan's small study in the south building came out. , holding a letter in his hand and said timidly.

Xiao Yulang walked over, snatched the letter from the little girl's hand, pulled out the letter from the envelope, and opened it to read.

In the letter, Shen Wan told Xiao Yulang that she was going back to her mother's house to wait for the good news.

The so-called good news was that the Xiao family agreed to let Xiao Yulang reconcile with him. If everyone reconciled happily, then the scandalous things Xiao Yulang and Tang Duanshu did would not be known to the Shen family.But if the Xiao family disagrees with the two reconciling, then the scandalous things Xiao Yulang and Tang Duanshu did will be known to all Jinling people.Also, she advised Xiao Yulang not to have the idea of ​​breaking the jar, thinking that he could not be the clan man who took over the Xiao family, nor would he make peace with her.If that was the case, the Shen family and the Xiao family might turn against each other, the situation of the Xiao family members in Jinling City would be more difficult, and the money they would get would be less, and they would not let him go who made their life difficult.

"It's really hateful!" After reading the letter, Xiao Yulang's face was distorted with anger, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he has no good looks.

He crumpled the letter into a ball, put it under his feet and stomped on it fiercely, cursing Shen Wan while trampling on it, using all vicious words, such as bitch, bitch, poisonous woman and the like.

Why is Xiao Yulang hating Shen Wan, why is he still unwilling to make up with Shen Wan?

The main reason is that at this time, for a man from a prominent family, reconciling with his wife is also one of the failures in life.Moreover, because the men of the prominent families married women from families of equal status, Heli also represented the end of the in-law relationship between the two families, and the in-law relationship between the two families could bring honor and benefits to each other's families, and even It will also bring about changes in officialdom.Don't look at the reconciliation of people who are only members of the clan on the surface, but this involves a wide range of aspects, and they will not reconcile unless it is absolutely necessary.Not only is he unwilling, but his parents and elders, and even the entire clan members are not willing.

What's more, Xiao Yulang is the eldest grandson of the Xiao family's patriarchal family and will take over the Xiao family in the future, while Shen Wan is the eldest daughter of the Shen family's family who is favored by her parents.The Shen family is the head of the four prominent families in Jinling. The Xiao family has gained a lot of benefits because of the in-law relationship with the Shen family. If they reconcile and divorce, won't the benefits that the Xiao family received from the Shen family disappear?

Based on the above, after Xiao Yulang and Tang Duanshu were caught for adultery, not only he himself, but also the entire Xiao family, no one would think of the two of them reconciling.

In other words, if Shen Wan wants to reconcile, she will encounter great resistance, and it is not easy to successfully reconcile.The Xiao family may sacrifice Xiao Yulang in order to protect the interests of the Xiao family. If this happens, it depends on whether the Shen family will fully support her married daughter, and whether the Shen family will turn against the Xiao family for her.Although Shen Wan said in the letter to Xiao Yulang that if he wanted to break the pot and not become the heir of the clan house, he would not get along, the Shen family would turn against the Xiao family, and the Xiao family would have a hard time.But in fact, to achieve this, Shen Wan not only persuaded her parents to support her, but also needed to convince the head of the Shen family, her grandfather Shen Xiang who was also the patriarch.

Having an affair with a prominent family for the sake of a married daughter, this kind of thing has never happened in Jinling, not even in Jiangnan.

Will the patriarch of the Shen family make an exception to support Shen Wan?

The author has something to say: Some children think of Gu Heli too simply, after all, they are not small families.
