Chapter 15: The Stepmother Exposed
Shen Qingyan took out a few ingots of silver from his sleeve, took Lian Ji's hand, and placed the silver in her hand. Lian Ji looked at Shen Qingyan in surprise, and slowly clenched the silver in her hand, and her bright red nails coated with peony flower juice were intertwined with the silver of white flowers, shaking people's eyes painfully.
"You take this silver, this silver should be enough for you to redeem yourself, but since the silver belongs to you, what you want to use it is your business, the only thing you need to do is to rot today's things in your stomach, otherwise, if we spare your life today, it does not mean that we will let you go again in the future." Shen Qingyan looked at Lian Ji calmly, and there was no expression on his face.
"Thank you, you two, the little girl will do what she says." Lian Ji stretched out her hand to wipe the tears welling up in her eyes, her makeup was a little mutilated, but it was more real, she put the silver away, kowtowed heavily, and got up to leave.
"You're sympathizing with her." Yin Qi looked at Shen Qingyan's back standing in place and took her hand.
Shen Qingyan raised his head and stared at Yin Qi, and slowly burst into a smile.
"It's not just sympathy, I appreciate her."
Yin Qi straightened Shen Qingyan's hair, picked it up again, and tightened it in his arms.
"Let's go."
There was nothing to do along the way, and when Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan arrived at Shen's mansion, the sky was already a little dark, Yin Qi carried Shen Qingyan to the alley at the corner of the street, and gently put Shen Qingyan down.
"I can't appear at the gate of the Shen Mansion so openly now, I can also watch you enter the Shen Mansion here, you can go in first." As soon as Yin Qi's words fell, he picked up Shen Qingyan's face and lightly branded a kiss.
Shen smiled shyly, and without saying much, he turned around and left.
Shen Qingyan had just entered the Shen Mansion, and before he reached his courtyard, he saw Cui Wei looking around from a distance, as if he was waiting for someone, frowned slightly, and walked to Cui Wei's side at a faster pace.
"Miss, you're finally back!" As soon as Cui Wei saw Shen Qingyan coming, she hurried to meet her, the expression on her face was very anxious, but she also had a little desire to say goodbye.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered? Shen Qingyan frowned and grabbed Cui Wei's arm, a little uneasy.
"Just ...... Aunt Meng ...... "Cui Wei said intermittently, and some didn't know how to tell Shen Qingyan the news.
“...... What's wrong with her. As soon as Shen Qingyan heard that it was Meng Ru's business, his brows relaxed, and his hanging heart was also put down, and he vaguely guessed that his plan had finally seen results, and there was even a trace of joy on his face.
"Aunt Meng, she ...... The affair was discovered. ”
"Where is she now?" Shen Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
"In the lobby with the master." Cui Wei was a little puzzled, and Shen Qingyan didn't react aggressively at all, but she still led Shen Qingyan to the lobby.
Along the way, Shen Qingyan's mood was very comfortable, and when he met Shen Wanyan, who was also going to the lobby, he even said hello in a good mood, but Shen Wanyan was very anxious, and even the steps on the soles of his feet were chaotic, so he just glared at Shen Qingyan hatefully, and hurried to the lobby in a hurry.
When we arrived at the entrance of the lobby, the door was closed, and it was quiet inside, except for the occasional sobbing and persuasion.
Cui Wei gently pushed the door open, trying not to make too loud noise, and after Shen Qingyan entered, he gently closed the door again, and he stayed outside the door, Shen Mingwei had instructed, idle people, etc., were not allowed to enter the lobby.
When Shen Qingyan entered the lobby, he saw Meng Ru kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, his clothes were still a little messy, and a man next to him was lying on the ground, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his spirit was already a little sluggish, and his consciousness was not very clear, it was Li Ren. Shen Wanyan knelt beside Meng Ru, her eyes were red, the pear blossoms brought rain, and she pleaded for Meng Ru sadly, while Shen Mingwei stood with his back to a few people, without saying a word.
Shen Qingyan took the scene in front of him into his eyes and blinked, intending to enhance his sense of existence a little.
"Father."
Shen Mingwei heard Shen Qingyan's voice, and then slowly turned his head, but there was not much expression on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"Yan'er, come and sit."
Shen Qingyan sat down on the upper seat according to Shen Mingwei's words, looked at Meng Ru with her head down and Shen Wanyan with red eyes, and didn't say much, now, it's not the time for her to speak.
"Now that Yan'er is here, Qingchen has always had nothing to do with the affairs in the backyard, don't worry about him, Meng Ru, you say, what should I do with you." Shen Mingwei looked at Meng Ru lightly, there was no extra emotion in his eyes, not even anger, not at all like a husband who found out that his wife was cheating.
"Father, this time my mother is too confused, but I ask my father to remember his old feelings and forgive my mother this time." Shen Wanyan's big teardrops dripped on the floor, she hated, since she was a child, just because Meng Ru is not a wife, she is a concubine, she is not as good as Shen Qingyan everywhere, finally it is not easy, she is fortunate to be favored, and she can marry the fourth prince Yin Yuan, but on the contrary, at this juncture, her mother, who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, has such a shameful thing, why, the stains on her life are all caused by her mother, why does her mother want to be an obstacle to herself, her tears now, not only to intercede and not let this matter affect herself, more, is to feel resentful of his powerless life.
"I'm asking Aunt Meng, not you." Shen Mingwei didn't even look at Shen Wanyan, he has been in the officialdom for many years, Shen Wanyan has been impure since he was a child, he knows that he has all the things she did after being accused of marriage, he was extremely disappointed, and now that Meng Ru has such a thing, he doesn't even bother to look at this mother and daughter.
Meng Ru raised her head sluggishly, her eyes were dull, and there were still some traces of tears on her cheeks, from the moment she was discovered, she knew that she was finished, she wanted to secretly transfer some property, but she was caught before she could start, and now she didn't even have a way out. Why, today she didn't send a message to Li Ren at all, and she was completely delirious at the time, and she had a relationship with Li Ren unconsciously, and the next moment, Shen Mingwei broke into the door, lonely men and widows, untidy and hugging each other on the bed, and what was scattered next to the bed was the real estate title deed that he had given Li Ren to buy before, and he couldn't argue. Obviously, this is someone designed.
Meng Ru suddenly looked at Shen Qingyan, her eyes were scarlet, and her face was already a little distorted, it must be this slut, it must be her, let herself be so embarrassed to expose the matter, and let the glory and wealth she was about to get come to naught.
"Slut...... Slut! It has to be you! It's you, right! Meng Ru suddenly seemed to be crazy, stood up and rushed to Shen Qingyan, wanting to choke her neck, but was kicked to the ground by Shen Mingwei, holding his stomach and coughing on the ground.
"Meng Ru, I already knew that you had different intentions, but for the sake of the love you had saved Li'er, I turned a blind eye, and now, this only affection has been exhausted, and my patience with you has also been exhausted." Shen Mingwei still looked at Meng Ru lightly, as if he was looking at a stranger, took out a letter from his arms and threw it on Meng Ru, "This is a letter of resignation, I have already prepared it, but I didn't expect it to be given to you in such an embarrassing situation, before tonight, pack up your things, leave the Shen family, leave Mucheng, and never appear again, otherwise, your cheap life will definitely end in my hands." "Shen Mingwei has never been angry from beginning to end, he has always been like this, he has an excellent temperament, but once he crosses his bottom line, he will let the other party know his means.
"Master, master, please, don't let me leave, I was framed, it was Shen Qingyan, she framed me." Meng Ru finally started crying, crying hoarsely and sadly, lying on the ground, constantly insulting Shen Qingyan.
Shen Wanyan clenched her fists on the side, secretly scolding this fool who doesn't have a long brain, and at this time she also said that Shen Qingyan didn't force Shen Mingwei to do it.
Sure enough, Shen Mingwei's face became more and more gloomy, and he just wanted to speak out but was interrupted by Shen Qingyan.
"Aunt Ru, you have done such a thing to corrupt the lintel, my father has done his best to deal with it like this, I hope you can sincerely repent and don't ...... again"
"Slut!" Meng Ru went completely crazy, and desperately wanted to rush in front of Shen Qingyan, but she was afraid of Shen Mingwei on the side, so she had to insult Shen Qingyan in place, "Wanyan, Wanyan, save my mother, okay?" Meng Ru suddenly turned to Shen Wanyan, who was already silent on the side, and wanted to hold her hand, but was dodged.
"Mother, know your mistakes, go find a good place and spend your life in purity, it's not very good." Shen Wanyan looked at Meng Ru expressionlessly, Meng Ru couldn't be saved, she just got rid of a burden, she didn't want to get on fire again.
"Heh......" Meng Ru slowly lowered her hand and looked straight at Shen Wanyan, her eyes full of resentment and sorrow, "It's really my good daughter." ”
"You're also my good mother." Shen Wanyan looked at Meng Ru with a smile, still elegant and dignified, just like at the beginning.
Meng Ru stood up, turned her head, and looked at Shen Mingwei.
"Shen Mingwei, I only want to ask you one thing, did you marry me just because I saved your poor son who died early? Haven't you ever loved me a little? ”
Shen Mingwei looked at Meng Ru and suddenly smiled sarcastically, a little puzzled.
"My wife has never been the only one, what are you?"
Shen Mingwei's words were like a hammer, smashing word by word on Meng Ru's heart, Meng Ru began to laugh, crazy and distorted, unable to see the beauty of the past at all, like an old woman who was old and decrepit. In her life, her husband has never put herself in her eyes, her daughter regards herself as a burden, and her lover is just greedy for money, this life is really sad.
"Bang!" With the muffled impact sound of his life, Meng Ru hit the wall headlong in front of everyone, blood splattered on the wall, and many kept flowing out of the wound on his head, Meng Ru slid against the wall and fell to the ground, just like that.
Shen Wanyan looked at the dazzling blood and the unconscious Meng Ru, blinked uncomfortably, forcibly suppressed the only sadness in her heart, saluted Shen Mingwei and walked out of Meng Ru's side.
Shen Mingwei was still expressionless, and ordered his subordinates to clean the house, carry Meng Ru out, bandage the wound, and take her package and send it out of Mucheng.
Shen Qingyan sat on the chair, trying to make her breathing normal, she just wanted to drive Meng Ru away, but she didn't expect her to be so extreme, looking at the blood stains left on the wall, she felt like something was blocked in her heart, and suppressed the pleasure of finally taking revenge. In the end, Shen Qingyan stood up, straightened his clothes, and left the lobby.
She didn't plan to worry about these anymore, she never wanted to put Meng Ru to death, all this was just Meng Ru's own choice, she couldn't blame others, and she didn't have to feel any guilt, because it was too unfair to those who were really good to her.
