618 Marriage Exchange (5)
Ji Yushu did not notice Gao Yang’s expression. He tidied his clothes and said leisurely, “Forget it. Let’s wait and watch a good show tomorrow. The bigger the show, the better. This way, Third Brother won’t feel bored when he cos back.”
…
No one in the first branch of the Shen family was present for this marriage. In fact, Shen Wan had sent an invitation to the first branch. No matter what, he had to show so respect. However, what the Shen family did back then disgusted Luo Xueyan, so she refused the invitation, let alone send a gift. Through this matter, the people who had been watching the developnts between the two branches of the Shen family understood that the first branch had made up their minds to cut ties with the Shen family and wouldn’t go back on their words.
No matter what, the marriage proceeded smoothly.
Early in the next morning, Concubine Wan woke up. Yesterday, when Shen Yue got married, Shen Dongling went to help. Later, when Concubine Wan asked, the maid said that after returning, Shen Dongling was too tired and fell asleep, so Concubine Wan did not disturb her. Today, she specially made sweet soup for Shen Dongling, so she stood outside Shen Dongling’s room and knocked on the door.
No one in the room answered. Concubine Wan said, “Dongling, I’m coming in.” As she spoke, she pushed open the door.
She saw soone lying on Shen Dongling’s bed, covered by a blanket. When the person heard the sound, she suddenly sat up. Concubine Wan was stunned at first, and a look of disbelief imdiately appeared on her face. She cried out, “Second Miss, why are you here?”
The person lying on Shen Dongling’s bed was none other than Shen Yue. Yesterday, Shen Yue was married to the son of the minister counselor. In other words, she wasn’t supposed to be in the Shen mansion, but in the minister counselor’s mansion. Why would she appear on Shen Dongling’s bed for no reason? Concubine Wan looked around and did not see Shen Dongling. Even though she was not considered smart usually, she vaguely understood sothing at this mont. She asked with a trembling voice, “Second Miss, where… where is Dongling? Where did she go?”
Shen Yue quickly lowered her head. When she looked up again, her face was filled with tears.
The mont Concubine Wan saw Shen Yue’s tears, she felt her vision go dark. She heard Shen Yue cry and say, “I don’t know, I don’t know. Third Sister ca to toast , and then… I don’t know anything anymore!”
The Shen mansion was in absolute chaos.
In Rongjing Hall, everyone was standing together. Old Madam Shen was so angry that her mouth and eyes were crooked. She looked at Concubine Wan and said furiously, “What a good daughter you raised!”
Shen Gui stood at a corner and wanted to say sothing. Now, Concubine Wan was the only woman who had given birth to a child for him. Moreover, Concubine Wan was usually gentle and obedient. Even though Shen Gui was ssing around, he still had so feelings for Concubine Wan. However, when he saw his third brother and third sister-in-law’s angry expressions, he swallowed his words.
Shen Dongling actually sched against Shen Yue and got married in Shen Yue’s place. Shen Yue was left in the Shen mansion while Shen Dongling was married to Wang Bi. Shen Gui himself did not expect that the usually obedient and timid Shen Dongling would have the guts to do this. Shen Gui would never offend his third brother for a daughter, even if she was already his only child.
Concubine Wan cried and kowtowed to Old Madam Shen. As she kowtowed, she said, “Old Madam, my daughter is as timid as a mouse. How can she have the guts to deceive everyone? Old Madam, could it be that there’s a misunderstanding? Even if she has ten thousand guts, she won’t dare to do such an outrageous thing!”
“Are you saying that my daughter is slandering your daughter?” Chen Ruoqiu’s face was ashen. “That’s bold accusation you are making, Concubine Wan!”
