PNB Chapter 143 Madam Shen
Chapter 143 Madam Shen
Ever since Old Madam Shen heard Tang Qingmei mention Qin Ziyan from her daughter-in-law, she has been unable to sit still.
When Shen Junxing went to pick up Shen Ruyi, he had already checked the identities of the Qin family clearly, so he naturally knew the name Qin Ziyan.
At first, Old Madam Shen still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that the person in Luming Academy was not the Qin family she had imagined.
In order to avoid any further trouble in the future, Old Madam Shen personally sent some of her capable men to Taihe County in Ganzhou.
It was not until the person sent out to gather information sent back a secret letter that Mrs. Shen's hopes were shattered.
There is no such thing as someone with the same name and surname. Qin Ziyan from Luming Academy is the son of the family that is involved with my daughter.
Especially when I heard the people who were sent out say that although Qin Ziyan was somewhat smart, he was a person who was eager for quick success and was good at calculations.
Old Madam Shen felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. She asked the person who was trying to gather information to withdraw and left a few people to stay in Taihe County to monitor the Qin family's every move.
When she learned that Qin Huaizheng had disappeared and might not be alive, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who stayed in Taihe County went to Wu'an Marquis Mansion to report the Qin family's movements one after another.
When Old Lady Shen learned that Qin Ruo had opened a restaurant, her disgust for the Qin family reached its peak.
The Marquis's Mansion is full of noble and aristocratic families, and they are most disgusted with businessmen who are only interested in profit.
The lowly peasants of the Qin family actually wanted to get close to the Marquis Wu'an Mansion. This was simply a slap in their own face.
While Old Madam Shen was angry, she was even more afraid that the Qin family would come to Beijing one day and Ruyi’s affair would no longer be covered up.
Although Shen Ruyi had ended up in Taihe County, Old Madam Shen had already prepared a way out for her daughter and made up a reason for her to pray for the old marquis who was fighting outside.
The purpose was to cover up the truth about Shen Ruyi being abducted. After all, it concerned a woman's innocence and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion.
Regardless of whether she was hurt or not, once this matter was known to outsiders, Shen Ruyi's life would be completely ruined.
Therefore, after Shen Ruyi disappeared, the Wu'an Marquisate did not dare to make it public, and did not even dare to report to the police.
He didn't even dare to look for her in a high-profile manner, so he could only spread the news that Shen Ruyi had suddenly fallen ill.
He then secretly sent people to look for her, but they searched the entire capital but couldn't find Shen Ruyi.
Five or six years passed in a flash, and neither Old Madam Shen nor the Marquis's Mansion gave up looking for Shen Ruyi, and were determined to find her alive or dead.
As for the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion who had not appeared in public since her "illness", rumors gradually spread outside, but they were suppressed by thundering means by the Marquis Wu'an Mansion.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. After years of searching, I finally found Shen Ruyi's whereabouts, but everything had changed.
When Mrs. Shen thought of her well-behaved and sensible daughter and how much she had suffered in the Qin family, she wished she could cut the entire Qin family into pieces.
Originally, Old Madam Shen was too disdainful to argue with it. She thought that since her daughter had returned, she would just turn a blind eye and not care about what happened in the past.
Now that it has been confirmed that Qin Ziyan will take part in the college entrance examination next year, Old Madam Shen felt as if she had swallowed a fly.
In that rough man's family, no one named Qin is worthy of being in the limelight.
The old one is vulgar and petty.
The little one is greedy and insatiable, and does not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
What Old Lady Shen was most worried about was that the Qin family would have thoughts that they shouldn't have. If they really went to Beijing one day, it would become a time bomb for the Marquis's Mansion.
After much deliberation, Old Madam Shen finally decided to send a prominent representative to secretly go to Changhe Village.
He silenced them with silver and warned them to behave themselves.
The Qin family is short-sighted and only wants money.
He must have never seen so much silver in his life, so how could he not accept it?
If the Qin family doesn't understand, I still have a backup plan.
After Mrs. Shen confirmed the matter, she looked for Tang Qingmei to discuss it.
Before Tang Qingmei married into the Marquis's Mansion, she was fostered in the Mansion for a few years for some reason.
Old Madam Shen had long treated Tang Qingmei as her own child, bringing her up carefully.
During the years of searching for Shen Ruyi, Tang Qingmei lived up to his expectations, doing her best and taking the lead in everything.
Later, after she married Shen Junyuan with her help, she put the Marquis's Mansion in perfect order.
The only thing that Old Lady Shen was thankful for was that she had personally taught her daughter-in-law to be generous, sensible, and thoughtful.
Thinking of the attitude of her daughter Shen Ruyi, who had been living in Lengyuexuan's courtyard, Old Madam Shen felt even more guilty towards Tang Qingmei.
Ever since Shen Ruyi came back, Tang Qingmei, as the eldest sister-in-law, never cared about the troubles she suffered from her sister-in-law, but instead made plans for her in every way.
Although Shen Ruyi has been staying in the most remote courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion and rarely comes out to see people.
Tang Qingmei, the eldest sister-in-law, was never vague. All the food, clothing and other necessities she arranged for Ruyi Courtyard were the best in the Marquis's Mansion.
Whenever he saw Madam Shen in a bad mood because of Ruyi's matter, he would turn around and comfort Madam Shen.
"Mother, it's okay. Sister Ruyi is just being stubborn for a moment. As the eldest sister-in-law, how can I bother with Sister Ruyi? She is still young, and one day she will understand your painstaking efforts."
"Besides, mother, you have entrusted the entire mansion to me to manage, which is Mei'er's blessing. If Mei'er were to make a fuss over such a small matter, wouldn't it be a disgrace to you, mother? Moreover, when we were young, Sister Ruyi and I were close friends. I know Sister Ruyi's personality very well."
Tang Qingmei's words made Old Man Shen feel extremely relieved, and he became even more disappointed with his daughter Shen Ruyi's inappropriate behavior.
Old Madam Shen felt more and more that her daughter had acquired many of the country folk's ways during the years she had lived in the countryside, and didn't even understand the most basic principles of respect for hierarchy and age.
Ruyi is only a few years younger than Mei'er, but her words and actions are completely different.
Talking back to the elder brother, slapping the elder sister-in-law.
Looking around the women from aristocratic families in the entire capital, there is no one like this.
Fortunately, Mei'er is a sensible person who considers the overall situation. For the sake of Ruyi and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, she did not care about this matter.
How could Mrs. Shen not like such a considerate daughter-in-law?
"Mei'er, you have worked hard over the years. Please go to Wutongju and deliver this thing to Madam." Madam Shen turned around and took out a translucent emerald jade bracelet and an exquisite box from the makeup box in the room, and handed them to Madam Qi.
"Madam, wasn't this bracelet a reward from the palace a few years ago? I remember you mentioned giving it to the eldest lady before..."
"Mei'er is also half a daughter. It doesn't matter who she is given to, it's you." Old Madam Shen looked a little unhappy and gave Madam Qi a warning look.
She didn't allow anyone to sow discord between Tang Qingmei and Shen Ruyi.
