Chapter 262: Rebellious son and evil daughter
At the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Old Madam Shen originally wanted to go to Guanghong Temple to bring Shen Ruyi back to the mansion, but she was stopped by her son Shen Junxing before leaving.
At this time, the mother and son were sitting in the front hall in a stalemate.
Shen Junxing came back early today and happened to meet Old Madam Shen who was about to go out.
He sat in the hall with a gloomy face, ignoring the anger on Madam Shen's face.
"What? You are now powerful enough, and you want to keep me under house arrest again? I am your mother, and you are being unfilial!" Old Madam Shen was so angry that she yelled at Shen Junxing.
"The birthday celebration is coming soon, and envoys have been arriving in Beijing in the past few days. Mother, are you dissatisfied that there are not enough things to do in the Shen family? I advise you to stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere."
Shen Junxing said this coldly, and did not move at all while sitting on the chair.
After leaving the palace that night, Shen Junxing broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the Shufei incident, the emperor would not be able to pay attention to the Shen family. How could the Shen family escape unscathed?
The Emperor's birthday is approaching, and my father and second brother estimate that it will be here in the next two days.
If something happens at this critical juncture, the Shen family will be in real trouble.
Now the Fifth Prince is reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, and the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Prince's party dare not make any moves. But their own mother wants to go to Guanghong Temple at this time. Isn't this obviously trying to attract the Emperor's attention?
In the past few days, he has finally understood that few people who have anything to do with Qin Ruo have a good ending.
Concubine Zhao was confined to her house, Concubine Shu was demoted to a commoner, and even the power in the hands of the Fifth Prince was taken back.
Every single one of these things is closely related to Qin Ruo.
Qin Ruo is not scary, what is scary is the person standing behind her.
Qin Ruo is a cold-hearted person, she doesn't care about old friendships.
Otherwise, he would not have embarrassed himself in public even though he knew the relationship between the Qin family and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
"Okay, can't I even go to Guanghong Temple to pray for blessings? I didn't do anything..." Old Madam Shen felt a little guilty, but still retorted stubbornly.
"Mother, are you planning to go to Guanghong Temple to pray, or are you planning to bring my sister back to deal with Princess Ning'an? I heard that at that day's banquet, mother and eldest brother took advantage of their seniority to teach Princess Ning'an a lesson, but ended up being severely punished by Princess Ning'an. Are you still not giving up?" A voice suddenly interrupted.
After leaving the teahouse, Shen Junling sent Shen Ruyi back to the house and then returned to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard the conversation between Madam Shen and Shen Junling, and I found it extremely ridiculous for a moment.
Shen Junling stared at Old Madam Shen and Shen Junxing with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.
The matter of the palace banquet was brought up again, and Madam Shen and Mr. Shen looked unhappy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What benefits did that Qin girl promise you that made you turn your elbow out? With her disrespectful and ignorant character, how could she be worthy of you scolding your own mother for her?" Old Madam Shen was so angry that she started to scold Ling Junling.
She was so angry that her son stood on Qin Ruo's side.
"Disrespectful to elders? How can the Shen family be considered as elders to Princess Ning'an? There is a difference between the monarch and the minister. The monarch comes first and the minister comes second. Princess Ning'an is now considered a member of the royal family, and the Shen family are just officials in the court. Mother, don't you even understand this little rule?" Shen Junling sneered and did not give in.
"That's enough! Not only have you been away from home these days, but you've also gone crazy as soon as you came back. Do you still have me as your big brother in your eyes?"
Shen Junxing could no longer bear it and stared at Shen Junling, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
It can be seen that the anger in his heart has reached the critical point.
"Brother, you have been the same for ten years. Apart from acting like a big brother, what else can you do? When the Qin family was in decline, did you ever have any sympathy? You were always on guard against the Qin family trying to cling to the power of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and you always weighed the pros and cons. If you think they are valuable, you will try to control the lives of the Qin family and use them for the Shen family..."
"Is this the family tradition of our Shen family? Do you want to beat me again? Are you feeling guilty after being predicted? After father comes back, I will report to him and set up my own residence and move out of Wu'an Marquis Mansion." Shen Junling grabbed Shen Junxing's hand and pushed him aside.
Judging from the strength, it was clear that he was a person who had practiced martial arts for many years. Shen Junxing's face changed drastically, and he looked at Shen Junling with scrutiny.
"Set up your own house? You want to split up the family? I don't agree. I'm not dead yet. You're being unfilial. Do you still want your reputation?" Old Madam Shen looked extremely ugly.
Shen Junling had had enough. When he heard Shen Ruyi recounting her disappearance in the teahouse, he felt cold all over.
He could never have imagined that the person who caused his sister to suffer such a terrible crime was because of his always strong mother.
Even in the whole incident, the eldest brother is not innocent.
"Reputation? What reputation do I have? Over the years, hasn't your good daughter-in-law put enough blame on me? Have mother and elder brother ever trusted me? It was the same with my elder sister back then, and it will be the same with me. No wonder my elder sister doesn't want to go back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion."
Shen Junling's words were extremely heartbreaking, and Old Madam Shen's expression changed again and again.
"Rebellious son! How dare you talk to your mother like that? You are just like that evil girl, you came here just to irritate me, right? Okay! Okay! Very good, from now on, I will pretend that I have never given birth to a son like you! Get out of here." Old Madam Shen was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Shen Junling and telling him to get out.
There was a look of forbearance in Shen Junxing's eyes. When Old Madam Shen scolded Shen Junling, he did not say anything to dissuade her.
"Rebellious son? Evil daughter? Is this how you managed the affairs of the mansion during the years I was away?" A majestic voice suddenly came from the door.
Old Madam Shen looked at Old Marquis Shen and his son Shen Junye, who had appeared at the door at some point in time, and was obviously more frightened than surprised.
Looking at the old Marquis Shen, who was dusty and full of murderous intent, walking towards her step by step from the door, she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Master, Ye'er, you are back? Why didn't you tell us when you came back..." Old Madam Shen came back to her senses and forced a smile to greet them.
"If I had informed you in advance, how could you have seen what happened today? Tell me, what happened?" Old Marquis Shen strode into the room and walked straight past Old Madam Shen without stopping for a moment.
"Greetings, father!" Shen Junxing's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to salute.
My father quietly returned to the city today. Seeing that my third brother was calm, it seemed that he had known about it a long time ago. Why didn't he tell me when everyone knew about my third brother who was so unreliable?
Haven't I done enough for the Wu'an Marquis Mansion over the years?
In just a few breaths, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Junxing's mind.
