Chapter 105 Broken up
"Our Shen family got its start with the teahouse in Yuntai Mountain. I believe that many of you here have been growing tea for our Shen family for generations. I wonder when our Shen family has ever withheld your wages over the years. I'm afraid someone is trying to ruin our Shen family's reputation with today's incident! Although I'm still young, my father values me so much that I can take over the teahouse. However, all matters of the teahouse are still decided by my father and several managers. I'm an unmarried woman, and I'm just here to inspect for two days on behalf of my father. When my father recovers from his illness, there's no need for me to get involved in the teahouse anymore."
Shen Qingyu smiled slightly, but he looked dignified. However, it was this nonchalant tone that shocked everyone present. "Please wait for two more days. I will go back and ask about the wages. If there is still no result after three days, you can go to the Shen family in Jinling Mansion. Then, you can question me in front of my father. Wouldn't it be better?"
"After all, no matter how courageous I am, I can't lie in front of the head of the Shen family!"
It would be best to bring the case to the Shen family. By then, it would be hard to say whether what Aunt Liu had done could be concealed. If Shen Chuanhe knew that Aunt Liu was so bold as to tamper with the Shen family's ancestral foundation, even if he loved this woman much, he would probably be furious.
"Fellow villagers, Miss Shen is always good at sweet talk, don't be fooled by her words!"
Once these farmers dispersed, they would have no excuse to cause trouble for Shen Qingyu. Several people who took the lead in causing trouble became anxious. This Second Miss Shen was not only eloquent, but also cruel and heartless. She didn't even care about the lives of everyone in the Shen family. Such a cold-blooded woman was rare in the world.
"Uncle Yu, you are a well-known elder in Yuntai Mountain. Tell me, is what I just said right or wrong?"
Uncle Yu is the head of a nearby village. Seeing so many people looking for the second young lady of the Shen family to seek justice today, he followed them because he was worried that the matter would get out of hand.
Seeing Shen Qingyu, a young lady from a distinguished family, bowing to him, he was flattered and hurriedly walked over from behind the crowd, "Second Miss, I'm sorry to have startled you."
Uncle Yu was a little different from those reckless country folk. He had been dealing with minor officials in the yamen for many years, so he naturally knew that Shen Qingyu, as the daughter of a prominent family, had an extraordinary status. Just now everyone had lost their minds and he could not stop them, but now seeing that Shen Qingyu, a fourteen-year-old girl, could turn the tide and control the situation, he was shocked. She was indeed worthy of being a daughter of a noble family. Her demeanor, her words and deeds were not comparable to those of ordinary girls from ordinary people's families.
After returning the greeting to Shen Qingyu, Uncle Yu stood in front of the crowd and said to the villagers, "Everyone, the Second Miss is a reasonable person. I'm afraid this matter may really be a misunderstanding as the Second Miss said. Why don't we go back and wait for three days? If there is no result after three days, as the Second Miss said, we will go to the Shen Mansion in Jinling Mansion and ask Mr. Shen for the truth. The Second Miss Shen also said that she was just temporarily inspecting the teahouse in Yuntai Mountain for Mr. Shen. There are many rules in a big family like the Shen family. The people who are in charge of money and those who are in charge of affairs are clearly divided. In my opinion, you may really have wronged the Second Miss. For such a small matter as allocating money to you to calculate your wages, she, the Second Miss of the Shen family, is a distinguished legitimate lady and does not need to intervene at all."
Uncle Yu is highly respected in the Yuntaishan area, so his words naturally carry some weight. After hearing what Uncle Yu said, everyone's thoughts of causing trouble after being instigated by him disappeared, and a few people even apologized to Shen Qingyu embarrassedly.
"Go away."
"Everyone, go away."
Now it was the turn of the troublemakers to get anxious.
The crowd dispersed like a tide. Shen Qingyu took a deep breath. The cool air entered her lungs, making her feel much clearer.
These people failed to succeed in causing trouble today, so I'm sure there will be further actions. Aunt Liu will not give up so easily.
"Second Miss Shen, you are really extraordinary!"
No wonder, no wonder that man gave them a large sum of money, saying that he would kidnap Miss Shen Er and take her back to the Shen family directly, and completely destroy Miss Shen Er's reputation.
This girl would be really difficult to deal with if she didn't do that.
"Hmph, don't be polite to her, this yellow-haired girl is really ruthless, she almost took my life with one knife." The middle-aged man lying on the ground got up with difficulty and said to the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man, "I thought this Second Miss Shen would be as beautiful as the First Miss Shen, and we brothers would be lucky, but who knew that she looks like this, not even as pretty as the maids around her."
"You are totally wrong. How can this maid compare with the young lady in the mansion? No matter how beautiful the maid is, can she be as noble as the young lady?" The man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks smiled more and more wickedly, staring at Shen Qingyu with squinting eyes, "Second Miss Shen, the servants who served you have been captured by us. You might as well obey us brothers. We brothers will definitely make you feel like you are in heaven!"
The few people brought by Uncle Tian were no match for these villains. They beat up the Shen family members and then tied them up.
Shen Qingyu held a dagger in his hand, his face was as cold as ice and his heart was as hard as ice.
She doesn't care that much about her reputation, but that doesn't mean she won't feel disgusted if she is defiled by these dirty and lowly people.
She's not that picky yet.
Shen Qingyu clenched the dagger in his hand.
This is her weapon. These villains today really make her feel sick. Even if she has to fight to the death, she cannot fall into the hands of these people.
All she had wished for all along was to live a good life, but God did not allow her to live a good life and refused to even give her a home.
Perhaps I can be said to have lived two lives, but why is the life I experience always so absurd?
Originally, she had no father or mother and had been fostered in relatives' homes since she was a child. She was bullied by all kinds of unruly relatives. She had long been accustomed to living alone in this world, without relatives or friends, and without any worries.
Even though she came into this body, Shen Qingyu has a father and a mother, but they treat her as nothing. What's the difference between this and not having them?
At least she could still harbor a little delusion, thinking that the dead might have once thought of her, but the parents of this Second Miss Shen were right in front of her, and she saw clearly how ruthless they were.
She can't die here!
"Cousin Qing Yu..."
