Chapter 178: Beating and Venting
Chapter 178: Beating and Venting
When Shen Wen arrived outside the pavilion in the garden, he saw Shen Shuyuan talking to Shen Shuxian. It happened that the second aunt Nian was also strolling there. Nian's eyes were sharp and she was the first to spot him not far away. Nian was afraid that he would slip away, so she immediately waved and called out, "Oh! It's Seventeenth Brother! Come to the pavilion quickly. The two aunts are talking in the pavilion too. You should at least say hello before you leave."
Shen Shuxian only then saw him and immediately turned her face away, looking displeased.
Nian rushed in and greeted the two ladies with a smile.
But Shen Shuxian scolded him, "What did you ask him to do? Now we are all women who are about to get married, and we need to see less... less men, especially men like him who are always causing trouble. Everyone in this mansion knows that anyone who comes into contact with him will be unlucky for many days."
Nian was not annoyed by the criticism, and continued with a smile: "What Eighth Aunt said is true, but it's different, Eighth Aunt, you are going to enter the palace to become a noble lady of the highest status in the world, the blessing is yet to come, what kind of unlucky person can bring you down, don't you think?"
Shen Shuxian was very pleased and said, "That's true."
Then he looked at Shen Shuyuan and said, "Speaking of which, Fifth Sister is also a blessed person. I heard that the raid on Shen Ju's family yesterday was done by Fifth Sister. Did Fifth Sister really do such a foolish thing?"
When Shen Shuyuan did something wrong in the past, no one in this huge backyard dared to say a word. She looked down on everyone except her parents and grandparents, especially Miss Shen Ba.
Although Shen Shuxian had the destiny of a fairy, her status and position were inferior to Shen Shuyuan. She always acted humble and submissive in front of Shen Shuyuan and tried to please her.
Now Shen Shuxian will be the emperor's woman, at least a daughter of gold. She feels that she is superior to Shen Shuyuan. Today, she finally meets Shen Shuyuan, and she can't wait to show off to Shen Shuyuan. She wants to see with her own eyes how embarrassed her arrogant fifth sister is in front of her.
As soon as Shen Shuxian saw Shen Shuyuan, she mentioned that she was destined to be a concubine and was pretending to be so. She needed her fifth sister, the princess, to take care of her and they should help each other.
Helpless, Shen Shuyuan ignored her. Now that the murder last night was mentioned, Shen Shuxian still thought that her good fifth sister was the same unruly young lady from the past.
Shen Shuyuan didn't answer her, which made her even more excited. She said, "Fifth sister has married into her husband's family, why are you still as willful as before? Shen Ju's family is closely related to ours, and you destroyed their family just because you didn't want to. No wonder grandfather and uncle are angry. I advise you to listen to me. Before grandfather summons you, you should kneel in grandfather's yard. Maybe if you kneel, grandfather will soften his heart. And as for Prince Rui, Fifth sister is so reckless and has caused trouble for him. He wants to divorce you and send you home. You have to ask grandfather to come forward and plead with the prince. Only then will he be able to forgive you this time."
Shen Shuyuan finally gave her a contemptuous look this time. Shen Shuyuan said, "You are bolder today. Is it because I haven't whipped you for a long time? Do you feel itchy all over?"
Shen Shuxian's eyebrows raised in anger.
Shen Shuxian pointed at Shen Shuyuan and said, "You still think you are the same as before, always using your status as a legitimate daughter to pressure me. But I am the future imperial concubine. I will enter the palace and be given the title of concubine next month. Even with your status as a princess, you have to kneel down and salute me."
The tone and momentum are so strong that it is really intimidating.
Shen Wen laughed out loud at her ignorant and childish words. He covered his mouth and realized it belatedly, thinking that this was bad. He looked at Shen Shuxian and saw that the woman was indeed coming towards him.
Shen Shuxian was furious and raised her hand to slap him in the face, but before she could hit him, she was kicked from behind by Shen Shuyuan, who made her look like a dog eating shit. Shen Shuxian stuck her butt out in pain and groaned.
A group of maids were afraid of something happening, so they hurried to help Shen Shuxian. Shen Shuyuan looked at the maids in her yard and said, "Is that bastard Shen Shifeng here? Didn't I tell you to call him?"
The maid didn't dare to help Shen Shuxian, and immediately reported back: "I have told the Sixteenth Young Master that he is on his way."
The maid stole a glance at Shen Shuyuan and felt that the ruthlessness of their Fifth Young Lady had become even stronger, and it seemed as if she was ready to kill someone at any time.
Just as the conversation ended, the Sixteenth Master Shen Shifeng really came. When he came up to her, he saw Shen Wen, his face instantly became gloomy, and he didn't even say hello to Shen Shuyuan. He pointed at Shen Wen and said, "Why is he here? Does Fifth Sister have to bring him with her whenever she does anything? Fifth Sister knows that I hate him, are you planning to offend me for him?"
Last night, Shen Shuyuan called him a waste, which made him cry all night. Today, he was summoned by Shen Shuyuan early in the morning. He thought it was his good fifth sister who finally realized her mistake in words and asked him to come over to apologize to her. Now it seems that he was wrong.
Shen Shuyuan pointed at Shen Wen and said to Shen Shifeng, "You almost killed him yesterday. It was your fault. Today you kneel down and apologize to him, and this matter will be over."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone changed color.
Shen Shifeng was so angry that he was about to go insane. His fingers were shaking as he pointed at Shen Wen. He opened his mouth and said, "You want me to apologize to him? I... I apologize to him... How can such a loser like him deserve it!"
He pointed at Shen Wen and complained to Shen Shuyuan, "Fifth sister, do you know what he did? His mistress Chu Yanqiu! In order to please him, his mistress actually asked the martial arts masters in Xiliang City to kill me and directly destroyed my martial arts. The martial arts I have practiced for more than ten years have all been destroyed. If it weren't for the masters recruited by my father to rescue me in time, my tendons in my hands and feet would have been cut. Now you are asking me to kowtow to him and apologize? Are you the fifth sister I used to be?"
Shen Wen curled his lips aside!
Of course, she is not your former fifth sister. Now this fifth sister is just like your seventh sister, both holding their breath and wanting to make the Shen family look bad.
Shen Shifeng thought about the broken engagement yesterday. At that time, the servant passed on a message from his young lady saying, "We agreed to your engagement because of Mr. Shen Shiliu's great martial arts skills, and he could support us civil officials. Now that Mr. Shen Shiliu's martial arts skills have been abolished, the marriage will naturally be cancelled."
Shen Shifeng originally looked down on that weak young lady, so after being humiliated by the woman he looked down upon and breaking off the engagement, he became even more neurotic.
With red eyes, Shen Shifeng tried to grab Shen Wen again, determined to kill Shen Wen.
Just like a mad dog.
Shen Wen dodged it easily, shook his head and cursed in his heart.
There was a lot of noise and chaos.
After a while of fighting, a few servants came and without saying a word, they grabbed Shen Shifeng, dragged him to a bench, held down his hands and feet, and beat him with a stick.
Although Shen Shuxian looked frightened, she still argued with Shen Shuyuan: "How can you hit someone just because you want to? Do you know what kind of family your sixteenth brother's maternal grandfather is? How can you, a woman in the backyard, touch him?"
Shen Shuyuan was so noisy that she waved her hands at the maids and said, "Slap her mouth and tell her to learn some manners. Otherwise, when she enters the palace, she might make a mistake with her language and ruin our Shen family. You are old people who have been in the palace. You don't need me, the princess, to say anything, right?"
The women hesitated.
What did they say more? The slaves in the palace only had to obey orders and do their jobs. No matter what the matter was, if they said one more word or made one more expression, they would be punished and scolded. They only had to remember who their master was. The master's words were orders. There was no right or wrong, no good or evil, only obedience.
The maids also realized that the eighth daughter of the Shen family who was going to enter the palace was probably not a noble lady suitable for a place like the imperial palace, nor was she someone who would cherish her life and live a long life.
So they made a plan and rushed forward to grab Shen Shuxian, slapped her hard and taught the Eighth Miss a good lesson.
Shen Wen looked at the two people being beaten and felt a little at a loss. She touched her mouth and wondered: How come I, the protagonist of the house fight who traveled through time, am different from others? Is this a cheat? Which great god blessed me, and such a strong fifth sister appeared to help me? How can I have fun?
Shen Shuxian and Shen Shifeng were beaten and carried away by the servants in their own courtyard.
The second son of the Shen family, Shen Shuofeng, who happened to rush over to investigate, saw them being carried past him.
Nian, who was performing a wonderful expression at the side, was startled by the sudden appearance of her husband. She hurriedly tried to adjust her expression.
Nian pretended to be scared and grabbed Shen Shuofeng's arm. She said to him with grievance and tears in her voice, "My husband, it's a good thing you came. Please persuade the fifth sister. What she did today was too bold."
Shen Shuofeng pulled her hand away and said with great anger, "How dare you criticize them? What did you do just now?"
After being scolded, Nian immediately lowered her head and dared not to talk back.
Shen Shuofeng sighed and scolded Shen Shuyuan, "Why did you hire them when you have nothing to do? They are all troublemakers. Who knows what trouble they will cause later. There will be no peace at home now."
Shen Shuyuan said, "You really see things clearly. Don't pretend in front of me. I saw you watching the fun not far away. There are the other two too. Come out as well. You have been expecting someone to do this for a long time, right? After all, there is hardly anyone in this family who has not been bullied by these two guys."
The two people hiding in the dark no longer needed to hide after hearing what Shen Shuyuan said. They were the sixth master of the Shen family and his stupid son Shen Xifeng.
The Sixth Master pulled Shen Xifeng to Shen Shuyuan and said, "Well, we didn't hide and peek on purpose. We just had something to do and passed by here... You know, Xifeng is like this, so if we meet a crowd, we will hide."
Shen Shuyuan looked at Shen Xifeng for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said, "Interesting... Even though he is a fool, he is still a mandarin duck who will live and die together!"
