Chapter 08: Disposing of the Second Lady
What's going on? Shen Nianzhen raised his eyebrows.
"Miss, please come in." Mama Zhang, who was standing at the door, saw her and hurriedly closed the curtains.
Shen Nianzhen nodded and walked into the room with his feet raised.
In the flower hall, Mrs. Shen was wearing a jujube red embroidered blessing word placket, and sat on the top of the head with the same color forehead on her head, staring at the second lady mother and daughter kneeling on the ground in the center with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Say, what's going on!"
Shen Nianzhen lowered his head, glanced at the second lady with a face full of grievances, and Shen Nianci who was sobbing and sobbing, and said in surprise: "What's wrong with the granddaughter asking her grandmother to say goodbye?"
"My poor man! Come, come to Grandmother! Seeing Shen Nianzhen, the haze on Mrs. Shen's face suddenly disappeared, beckoned her to step forward, pulled her to sit beside her, and said hatefully: "Didn't you fall into the water?" The Hou Mansion of Zhenbei sent someone to send supplements and gifts a few days ago, which were originally for you, but who knew that this black-hearted person was detained! ”
"Mother, didn't I forget to report to you!" The second lady shouted: "Besides, the one who fell into the water is not Zhen'er, and Ci'er is also ......."
Only then did Shen Nianzhen see that on the coffee table beside the old lady, there were two brocade boxes painted with gold lacquer, both of which were opened, one box was a high-grade ginseng bird's nest and other supplements, which had obviously been touched, and the other box was hairpin ring jewelry, which were all exquisite.
"Ridiculous!" Old Lady Shen slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "It is Zhen'er who is engaged to the prince of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, what does it have to do with Ci'er?" What right do you have to withhold things and not give them back to me! What kind of heart do you have! ”
"What did my mother say, I naturally hope that our Shen family will be well!" The second lady argued: "There have been too many things that have happened recently, so I didn't ......"
"Anyway, you're dereliction of duty, and you don't have to take care of this family." Old Mrs. Shen interrupted her coldly: "From today onwards, stay in your courtyard and reflect on yourself!" You don't have to go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion! ”
"Mother!" The second lady was so shocked that she almost jumped up from the ground: "It's just such a trivial matter, and you want to take the power of your daughter-in-law?" ”
There was an unbelievable look in his eyes.
"Humph! Bagatelle? Look at this again! Old Lady Shen stretched out her hand, took off the golden hairpin from Shen Nianzhen's hair, threw it in front of the second lady, and said coldly: "This is what you gave Zhen'er, right?" ”
"Yes...... So what? When the second lady saw Jin Hai, she looked confused.
"This is what I have in the storeroom!"
Old Mrs. Shen grabbed the teacup in her hand, smashed it at her, and said angrily: "I asked you to take care of the house, did you let you put your hand into my wife's warehouse?" ”
"Daughter-in-law don't dare! The daughter-in-law is wronged! ”
The tea was splashed on the second lady's placket, and she didn't dare to hide when she knelt there, looking extremely embarrassed.
"Humph! Treat unjustly?! So many people are watching!! Old Madam Shen snorted angrily.
The second lady firmly believed that she was wronged, and in order to prove her innocence, she lowered her head and picked up the golden hairpin on the ground.
Looking at it, the look on her face turned to horror and remorse.
Shen Nianzhen sat aside, bent the corners of his mouth to admire the despair on the face of the second lady, and after appreciating enough, he said to Mrs. Shen with a surprised face: "Grandmother, it turns out that it is your hairpin!" I don't know ......."
"That's true." Old Mrs. Shen patted her arm, lowered her head and said affectionately: "Today, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has sent an invitation, half a month later, it will be the sixtieth birthday of Old Mrs. Lu, and I specially invited you, when the time comes, let your third aunt take you with you, cough cough ......"
"Grandmother is not feeling well?" Shen Nianzhen suddenly became worried.
