Chapter 159 Questioning
Chapter 159 Questioning
The strangest one was Shen Ruyan. When she saw Shen Qingyu, she acted as if she saw a ghost. The smile on her face disappeared immediately and she could not smile anymore. Her second niece was really blessed with a good life!
Shen Chuanhe was still furious. She thought that what happened at Madam Nan Rong's birthday party today must have been all her, Shen Qingyu's fault, after Shen Xitong exaggerated it.
Shen Qingyu didn't even need to think about it, knowing that Shen Xitong would definitely tell Master Shen that her sister was harboring evil intentions and was doing everything she could to prevent her elder sister from marrying into the Nanrong family, and that she was trying to undermine the Shen family everywhere and bring shame to the Shen family.
"Master, I've been telling you, the Second Miss is a chaste woman, so how could she not know to come back? She must have been delayed on the way and missed the time." Aunt Xu has been favored by Master Su recently, and her words are sometimes more effective than those of Aunt Liu.
Madam Liu was pregnant, and she was thinking about how to deal with Shen Qingyu, trying to make Madam Xu jealous, and even coveting Bai Ying's position as his wife. All these things kept her busy. After not seeing Madam Liu for a few days, her originally charming and beautiful face had become much paler, and she was also suffering from severe morning sickness. If she didn't put on some rouge and powder, I'm afraid she wouldn't even dare to step out of her room.
"Second Miss, are you doing something important outside? It's already dark when you come back."
Normally, Shen Qingyu did everything flawlessly, and Aunt Liu couldn't find any handle on her. Today, when she heard her daughter Shen Xitong say that Shen Qingyu was kidnapped, she was naturally happy, thinking that she had gotten rid of a big worry from now on. But who knew that Shen Qingyu returned home quietly without saying a word.
How come Shen Qingyu, this little bitch, is always so lucky?
Aunt Liu was filled with hatred and deliberately emphasized the words "it's already dark". The eldest daughter of the Shen family was alone outside and didn't come back until dark. The matter was worth investigating. Aunt Liu thought to herself, even if that little bitch Shen Qingyu escaped by chance, would she be unharmed?
How hateful! How come this little bitch Shen Qingyu wasn't defiled by the thief and lost her innocence? If that happened, she would never be able to compete with Tong'er for Master Nanrong.
Aunt Liu was picking on Shen Qingyu, who pretended to be wronged and said to Shen Chuanhe, "Dad, Qingyu was passing by Lingxu Temple. Thinking that Hong'er was still so seriously ill, I wanted to go to the temple to pray for Hong'er and ask for his safety. Because it was a sudden idea, I didn't expect to make Dad and everyone worried. It's Qingyu's fault. Qingyu acted rashly and will definitely not do it again in the future."
Shen Qingyu explained calmly, and after she finished, she looked at Shen Chuanhe calmly, as if the thrilling incident that happened on the street today was just an illusion that had never happened, and what she said was the real fact.
Why is Hong'er such an unlucky child?
When Shen Chuanhe heard Shen Qingyu mention Shen Youhong, who was his own son but would not live past the end of this month, he felt a pain in his heart.
So when Shen Qingyu mentioned going to Lingxu Temple to pray for blessings, we can no longer blame Shen Qingyu. Everyone says that praying at Lingxu Temple is effective. I hope that Shen Youhong's condition will take a turn for the better.
"Dad, she's lying. Who is she trying to fool when she says she went to Lingxu Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings?"
Shen Xitong angrily exposed Shen Qingyu on the spot. She saw with her own eyes that little bitch Shen Qingyu was kidnapped on the street. Shen Qingyu actually dared to lie in front of her and in front of her father.
"My sister wasn't there at the time, so how could she know whether I went or not?"
Shen Xitong, you are my good sister. You stood by and watched someone die without helping. Do you have the courage to say this in front of everyone?
"I——" Shen Xitong was at a loss for words.
"Just come back."
Shen Chuanhe's anger subsided by half. The Shen family's reputation in Jinling City was already bad enough. If another thing happened that the daughter of the Shen family did not return home all night, they would never be able to live as a human being again.
Shen Qingyu's eyes swept towards Aunt Liu and Shen Ruyan. She knew very well in her heart that today's events must be related to these two people. So, who exactly wanted to kill her?
She had seen how cruel and ruthless Aunt Liu was, and how she didn't recognize her relatives. As for Shen Ruyan, her aunt was not a good person either.
But she couldn't understand how Shen Ruyan, such a sinister and cunning person, could give birth to a son as open-minded as Xiao Qingye.
Xiao Qingye, is it the real Xiao Qingye?
Shen Qingyu sighed deeply in her heart. She was already exhausted from dealing with Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong, the mother and daughter in the mansion. Add Shen Ruyan to the mix, ah——
Shen Qingyu smiled, which made Shen Ruyan feel nervous. Could it be that this young girl Shen Qingyu discovered something?
"I wonder when my aunt and cousin Jinyue will return to Suzhou. It's rare for Qingyu to see cousin Jinyue. I hope she can stay for a few more days."
Mrs. Nan Rong’s birthday party was over. What reason did her aunt have to stay in the Shen family?
Shen Qingyu's casual question immediately made Shen Ruyan's face darken. She was a daughter who had been married for many years and had been in the Shen family for too long. If this got out, it would just cause people to gossip.
Shen Qingyu said this in a roundabout way, trying to drive the mother and daughter out of the Shen family.
Shen Qingyu's words touched Shen Chuanhe's heart. He had long wanted this greedy elder sister to leave, but he could not find an excuse.
"Sister, if the fourth young lady likes it, I will ask the people in the mansion to renovate a courtyard for the fourth young lady to live there permanently." Shen Qingyu was only tactfully persuading Shen Ruyan to leave, but the meaning of Shen Chuanhe's words was very clear. If Shen Ruyan and her daughter wanted to live in the Shen family for a long time, the Shen family did not have any extra courtyards.
Shen Chuanhe had already ordered Shen Ruyan to leave, so no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stay in the Shen family.
"Third brother, I was just about to tell you that I will be taking Jinyue back to Suzhou tomorrow."
Shen Ruyan looked embarrassed, thinking that she should go back to Suzhou and make long-term plans. The current situation of the Shen family was not under her control, and all the previous calculations had failed. She could not stay in Jinling Mansion forever.
I'm afraid Qing Yu didn't mention it. Big sister, you will never say you want to leave the Shen family, right? Shen Chuanhe said secretly, but on the surface he pretended to have a deep affection for Shen Ruyan. "It's getting late, big sister has to travel tomorrow, so go back and rest early."
Shen Ruyan's face became even uglier now. Without saying a word or greeting, she angrily walked out of Shen Qingyu's courtyard.
"Qingyu, I heard that Master Nanrong gave you his purple bamboo flute?" As soon as Shen Ruyan left, Shen Chuanhe's true colors were revealed, "Qingyu, you should give the purple bamboo flute to your father for safekeeping."
