Chapter 440 Jin She Loves Talent (1)
It was for this reason that when Mrs. Shen heard the news that Shen Yueying had gotten into trouble, she was not too panicked.
She just waved her hand gently, signaling everyone around her to leave, leaving only the maid who knew the whole story.
Time flies by like a white horse.
Although so many years have passed and this maid has now married and become the housekeeper in the Shen Mansion, Mrs. Shen still trusts her as much as before.
Mrs. Shen seemed particularly relaxed at the moment. She sat leisurely on the chair, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and slowly said, "As the saying goes, 'a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse is born to dig holes'! This young lady of our family has really inherited the true teachings of her parents."
Although there was no obvious blame in the words, the hint of sarcasm was clearly audible.
The female manager stood aside with her head lowered, and could only respond timidly.
After all, with her status, how could she dare to easily refute her master?
Moreover, she knew in her heart that her master, Madam Shen, was also such a person! Otherwise, she would not have married into the Shen family.
Madam Shen didn't seem to care about the housekeeper's reaction, and continued to speak: "There is nothing wrong with appreciating talented people, but you need to consider your own abilities first."
Having said this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in her eyes.
At this time, the female steward hesitated again and again, but finally mustered up the courage and whispered: "Master! Although you said so, after all, the young lady was raised by you.
Now that something like this has happened, I’m afraid the relationship with the Chu family will become strained, and it will be even more difficult to win them over in the future…”
"Then let's change someone! Anyway, the Chu family has no one else except Chu Yunfan. I thought that the Chu family's power could help Qin'er, but who would have thought that he was useless." Madam Shen thought for a while and said, "Even if no one in the famous family wants her,
With our master's current status, he can still sell a marriage."
In fact, as far as Mrs. Shen is concerned, her feelings towards Shen Yueying are still very conflicted. On the one hand, she is the child she raised, but on the other hand, she is evidence that her husband had a mistress.
Especially in recent years, seeing that Shen Yueying looked more and more like her biological mother, Mrs. Shen would feel an inexplicable hatred.
He hoped that Shen Yueying would marry well and be useful, but he also didn't want his daughter to have too good a life.
While the two were talking, they heard the maid outside "loudly" report that Master Shen had entered the yard.
The housekeeper wisely opened the door and welcomed Master Shen in.
"Madam, do you know about our daughter's affairs?" Master Shen asked directly as he entered the room.
Mrs. Shen also had a worried expression on her face. She said with a guilty tone, "I haven't taught her well over the years. She is indeed a little spoiled."
Master Shen certainly did not come to blame his wife. He actually wanted her to come forward and bring Shen Yueying back.
He had no face to return to the Chu family after doing such a shameful thing.
But before he could say anything, he was met with his wife's sad expression, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.
"I failed to teach him well." Madam Shen did not give him a chance to speak. "I am too embarrassed to see anyone. I will reflect on myself in the courtyard for the next few days!"
"But!" Master Shen was dumbfounded. His daughter, Shen Yueying, was still in the Chu Residence! If she didn't go out, what would happen to her daughter?
Just when he was about to say something else, the second wave of people from the Chu family had arrived.
There was really no other way, so Master Shen had to bite the bullet and go to the Chu family on his own.
As soon as the others left, Mrs. Shen immediately changed her attitude: "Go, bring me some bird's nest porridge, I'm a little hungry!"
"Yes!" The housekeeper went down to prepare.
When Master Shen arrived at the Chu residence, he saw that it was no longer Chu Chuan, the steward, but even the eunuchs of Emperor Hongwen had arrived.
It turned out that after the imperial physician gave Chu Yunfan medicine, he continued to "return to the palace" to work, so the matter soon reached the emperor.
It is true that Emperor Hongwen wanted the power and title that were originally given to him, but it would be a big problem if people died for no reason.
Not to mention whether those who once risked their lives for him would be disheartened by this, even the Chu family’s former students and officials would view this matter!
And this injury sounds so ridiculous!
How could a weak young lady of a wealthy family injure a prince who is skilled in martial arts?
And the injury is quite serious!
Even if this is true, who would believe it if it were said to others? Those people would only think that Emperor Hongwen was the "black hand behind the scenes".
I have been scheming against others for nearly twenty or thirty years, but I didn't expect that this time I would have to take the blame for others. How can I seek justice?
Therefore, Emperor Hongwen immediately arranged for his eunuch to come and check out the situation. He had not planned to stay for long. Before returning to the palace, he heard that the Shen family had arrived. In order to obtain first-hand information, the eunuch decided to stay and watch the "fun"!
Eh! No, it was to relieve the worries of Emperor Hongwen and to understand the details of this matter!
