Chapter 199 I like him
After hearing this, Chuntao wanted to say something but hesitated, and in the end she dared not say anything.
She was sent by the Madam, so naturally she heard that the Master requested the Third Miss to wear only grey Buddhist robes at the banquet, but she didn't dare to say it. She decided to let the Madam tell the Third Miss tomorrow, so as not to involve herself in the Third Miss's anger.
Chuntao responded and stepped aside.
Shen Jingzhen has been in a rare good mood these days. She has been choosing her dresses over and over again, but she is not satisfied at all.
The next day, early in the morning.
Upon hearing that Shen Jingzhen wanted to see her, Qin Xuerong went to her Treasure Garden in person after breakfast.
"Mom~!"
As soon as she saw Qin Xuerong, Shen Jingzhen immediately walked up to her affectionately, took her arm, and her expression had a little more coquettishness and a little less resentment.
Seeing that she was in good condition, Qin Xuerong felt much better.
She had come here before since she was confined to worship Buddha, but the child had never suffered such a blow since she was a child. Every time she came, she yelled and had no manners at all, as if she had been stimulated and was a little crazy.
Therefore, she came twice and never came again. She could only ask Shen Meiru, who was on good terms with her, to come and see her from time to time.
"Why did you think of asking me here today?" Qin Xuerong spoke in a gentle voice, and then she followed Shen Jingzhen into the room, and saw the clothes and jewelry that had been turned out and thrown everywhere.
The smile on Qin Xuerong's face faded a little, and she already had some guesses about her daughter's thoughts.
"Mom, didn't Dad agree to let me attend my grandmother's birthday party? But I haven't made new clothes for a long time, and my previous jewelry is all locked in a box. I've been thinking about it for so long, I can't dress too shabby and let people look down on me..."
Shen Jingzhen was talking to herself, still immersed in her fantasy of stunning everyone, and didn't notice Qin Xuerong's indifferent expression at all.
Qin Xuerong didn't say anything, but just thought of Shen Shuyi's original conditions, and then looked at the expectation in Shen Jingzhen's eyes, and felt that Shen Shuyi's idea was really sinister!
"Mom, please make me two more sets of clothes. I don't need to buy new jewelry, but I still need to make clothes and shoes."
Shen Jingzhen spoke softly and coquettishly, gently shaking Qin Xuerong's arm.
Qin Xuerong collected her thoughts, remained silent for a while, and said slowly: "Zhen'er, you are now at home practicing with your hair untied, so you shouldn't be too high-profile."
Shen Jingzhen was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Qin Xuerong, as if she didn't expect her to reject her like this.
"Mom? What do you mean by that?" Shen Jingzhen forced a stiff smile, feeling that Qin Xuerong's response was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
Because she hadn't seen much sunlight in recent days, Shen Jingzhen's face looked unhealthily pale and she looked much thinner.
Qin Xuerong tidied her hair with a distressed look on her face, and sighed, "Mother has never figured out how to bring this up, so she never told you. I didn't expect you to bump into me."
Shen Jingzhen frowned, pursed her lips, and waited for what to come.
Qin Xuerong lowered her eyes, unable to bear the anger and disappointment in her eyes, and said slowly: "You can only attend your grandmother's birthday banquet wearing Buddhist robes, and everything must be compared to the expenses of outsiders, and cannot be exceeded."
"You...what did you say?" Shen Jingzhen looked at her in disbelief, with red eyes.
Qin Xuerong opened her eyes and said, "Everyone in the capital knows that you are now practicing at home. It is an exception for you to attend your grandmother's birthday banquet. How can you continue to be so high-profile? If it gets out, it will damage your reputation and it is unacceptable."
This one sentence completely ignited Shen Jingzhen's anger.
"Is it me or my second brother who is at fault? Who did I owe my present life to? Why would my second brother force me to death just because I fell into the water? If it weren't for him, why would I have to live this kind of life!"
Shen Jingzhen spoke angrily, her voice was sharp, as if she was greatly stimulated.
"Zhen'er! How can you speak of your second brother like that!" Qin Xuerong spoke angrily, naturally wanting to protect her son.
Shen Jingzhen's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed her grey robe and laughed at herself, "So you let me wear this in front of everyone? You let me apologize to Madam Wang like this? Qin Xuerong! Am I your daughter or not? You just watch me get tortured!"
Seeing her calling her by her full name and saying such words, Qin Xuerong felt as if someone was cutting her heart with a knife.
This is her daughter who she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. How could she not feel distressed!
But now that the incident has happened, how can public opinion be reversed so easily?
We can only wait until this moment has passed and then slowly make plans.
"Zhen'er, mother is doing this for your own consideration! Think about it yourself. If you dress up and show up in front of everyone just because you have ruined your reputation, how will others see you? They will only think that you are shameless and frivolous!"
Qin Xuerong choked up as she spoke, hoping that Shen Jingzhen could understand her painstaking efforts.
Shen Jingzhen took two steps back and sneered, "Reputation? Reputation again! What kind of reputation do I have? Wasn't my reputation ruined a long time ago?"
Qin Xuerong took two steps forward, held her hand, feeling sorry for her.
"Zhen'er, please be patient for a while. Mother will make that little bitch Shen Shuyi pay the price. After this storm is over, we will make a long-term plan. We will never let you continue like this."
Shen Jingzhen shed tears in the corners of her eyes and choked up, "You want me to go see Brother Feng like this? You might as well just kill me! Mom, I like him, you know that!"
Qin Xuerong's eyes were gloomy, and she whispered, "Mother knows that the boy from the Feng family does have a promising future, but you have to know that Madam Feng is not someone who is easy to get along with. Now that something like this has happened to you, she will never accept you as her husband again."
Shen Jingzhen wanted to say something else, but Qin Xuerong said again: "If you are willing to attend this birthday banquet, you can only listen to your father. If you don't want to attend in this state, then don't show up. In the future, your mother will definitely plan your marriage carefully. If you insist on marrying into the Feng family, mother will not sit idly by."
Shen Jingzhen's lips were dry. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but for a long while, no word came out.
Qin Xuerong took her into her arms and said in a deep voice, "Mother knows that you are suffering, so whether you want to participate or not is up to you to decide. But the most urgent task now is to restore your reputation as much as possible. Only when your reputation is good and more valuable, will Madam Feng agree."
Shen Jingzhen remained silent for a long time, with tears streaming down her face.
She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of so many people, but since that incident, she hadn't had the chance to see Brother Feng. She was afraid that he would misunderstand her like everyone else...
If she fails this time, she will never be able to get out of this door.
How can I have the chance to explain to him?
But if she was dressed like this, he would never even look at her.
When Shen Jingzhen thought of this, her heart ached.
