Chapter 6 Divorce
Sure enough, the next day, Shen Yantan was invited by Mrs. Shen to Bihe Courtyard.
Chu Yi's mother-in-law also came and officially proposed to change parents.
This is something that the two families have known for a long time, and when it comes to the bright side, it is just a clear road. The Shen family pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then agreed under the Chu family's "moving reason", and the matter was done.
The original marriage contract between Shen Yantan and Chu Yi was not so formal, and what was promised verbally could not be easier to choose someone else.
Shen Yantan looked at the Chu family's mouth full of nonsense, in order to make the change of relatives seem reasonable and not damage the face of the Shen family, he actually pulled out all the reasons why Chu Yi fell in love with Shen Yanyu at first sight, which was simply breathtaking.
However, in order not to collapse her character, she could only pretend that "Shen Yantan" had always been silent and timid, and she did not dare to express any opinions during the whole process, except for being "shocked and sad" from time to time.
It wasn't until the end, when the two sides agreed to go to dinner together, that Shen Yantan suddenly said in a low voice: "Mother." ”
Mrs. Shen was stunned and turned her head to look at her.
Shen Yantan hung his head: "Fourth sister...... Does my mother plan to announce the marriage immediately? ”
Mrs. Shen obviously didn't expect her to ask such a question, but it did remind her.
Although the matter between Shen Yantan and Chu Yi has not been publicized, outsiders only vaguely know that the Chu family and the Shen family seem to have a marriage contract, but this matter is not really unknown to anyone.
What's more, Shen Yantan, as her sister, is more reasonable to set her marriage first, and then announce Shen Yanyu's.
had a plan in her heart, but Mrs. Shen did not answer Shen Yantan's words openly, but only smiled: "Mother will arrange this matter by herself." Yantan, the divorce is indeed wronged by you, but you also listened, this is Chu Yi's own meaning, he loves your fourth sister, if he marries you, you will not be happy in the future, it is better to fulfill them, in the future, your mother will find a better family for you. ”
Shen Yantan didn't say anything, only blessed his body, and then asked to retire, and he didn't even accompany the meal.
It was normal for her to react like this, Mrs. Shen and the Chu family didn't care, and they sighed twice in a fake way, and then left Shen Yantan behind.
Leaving Bihe Courtyard, Shen Yantan did not go back, but found a pavilion to rest.
Not to mention, some people are hypocritical, and they are really disgusting enough, and they are a little tired after acting for so long.
However, the marriage with Chu Yi fell through, which can be regarded as one step closer to her goal, which is barely a good thing.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Shen Yantan was a little hungry, so he was ready to go back to his small courtyard.
Took Diejin and Purple Kite out of the pavilion, just turned the corridor, but heard movement not far away, Shen Yantan raised his eyebrows, immediately signaled the two maids to silence, and found a relatively hidden position to hide in.
The voice gradually became clear, and it was Shen Yanyu and her biological mother, Aunt Wang.
Speaking of which, this Aunt Wang is not simple, her status is not low, she gave birth to a child earlier than her wife, she has good scheming methods, and her status in the Shen family is not comparable to that of ordinary concubines.
It is precisely because of this that even her two daughters and one son are valued and loved by Shen Shangshu.
"Okay, what are you messing about?" Aunt Wang frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Shen Yanyu's attitude.
"Mother!" Shen Yanyu was trained to become more and more aggrieved, "I just, unwilling!" ”
"Unwilling? What are you unwilling to receive? Aunt Wang said, "You chose Chu Yi by yourself, but now that you have got your wish, do you feel dissatisfied again?" ”
"I ......" Shen Yanyu paused, "but at that time, if he hadn't taken the initiative to curry favor, I wouldn't have ......"
"Do you think he would have been able to get close to you without his mother's approval?" Aunt Wang raised her eyebrows and said.
Shen Yanyu's eyes widened.
Aunt Wang smiled and said truthfully: "The lord wants to use your marriage to climb the connections of the princess's mansion, there are only you and the second and third ladies in the mansion, and the second lady is a concubine, and it is impossible for the lady to push her into the fire pit." ”
"It just so happens that Chu Yi has a mind on you, although he is a concubine, he is quite talented, and he must have a bright future over time. is the safest way, which is to push the boat down the river and replace the third lady's marriage with yours, so that everyone will be truly happy. ”
Shen Yanyu was shocked, Aunt Wang raised her hand and stroked her hair: "Silly girl, my mother can still harm you." Although Chu Yi showed favor to you, there must be a reason why the status of the Chu family has risen and his third sister is not valued by the Shen family, but he is indeed a good condition among the children of the Gao family. ”
"In addition, you are very favored by your father, and he will not dare to treat you lightly in the future. This marriage is your best choice at the moment. ”
When Shen Yanyu was said this, the unhappiness in his heart was completely dissipated, and he quickly smiled.
In the hidden place, Shen Yantan and the others, who overheard the truth, had a very complicated mood.
In the original plot, there was no confusion between Shen Yantan and Shen Yanyu, and Shen Yanyu was never dissatisfied with his marriage to Chu Yi, so he didn't mention that Aunt Wang was the biggest promoter behind it.
Even Shen Yantan always thought that the cause of everything was just that Chu Yi and Shen Yanyu were shameless scumbags and sluts who had hooked up together a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, behind a seemingly simple matter, there are so many trade-offs hidden in it.
