Chapter 142: Anger
In the capital, there is a small Buddhist temple in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Old Madam Shen knelt on the cushion, twirling Buddhist beads in her hands and chanting scriptures in a low voice.
On weekdays, no matter how long Mrs. Shen stayed in the small Buddhist temple, she was always calm.
Something is on my mind tonight, and I feel very upset.
She closed her eyes and turned the Buddhist beads in her hands faster and faster.
A stick of incense later, when Mrs. Shen opened her eyes again, her complexion had returned to normal.
With the help of the nanny beside her, she stood up, said nothing, and went straight back to her yard.
After entering the house, Madam Shen looked out the window at the dark night and finally spoke to the nanny beside her.
"Madam Qi, has everything been arranged for Mei'er in Taihe County?"
"Replying to the old lady, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the young lady had already sent someone to Ganzhou, and it is estimated that the time should have come. The young lady has always been cautious in her work, so please go there and ask the person who is reliable. You can just sit back and wait for the news."
Nanny Qi lowered her head and stood behind Old Madam Shen, but her eyes flickered.
Old Madam Shen had her back to Nanny Qi and was completely unaware of what was happening. When she heard Nanny Qi's reply, her tense expression slowly relaxed.
"I trust Mei'er to do things. I hope nothing goes wrong this time. If I can use the money to end Ruyi's bad relationship, it will be a good thing. If that family is sensible, they should stay in that village and never get involved with Ruyi."
"You are worrying too much, old lady. Although that family has some relationship with the young lady, it has been so many years and the young lady has long lost contact with them. I don't think it will cause any trouble."
"Country folks are the most greedy. As a mother, how can I not worry about Ruyi? I heard Mei'er mention the news from Taihe County the other day, saying that the eldest girl from that family is running a restaurant business recently. A girl who has no virtues at all is really a disgrace to the family for her to show up in public all day long! People from small families really can't keep up appearances!"
When Madam Shen mentioned Qin Ruo, her expression turned cold, and she almost crushed the Buddhist beads in her hand.
The greatest pain in Mrs. Shen's life was that her only biological daughter was kidnapped by thieves when she was sixteen years old and was not found until six years later.
When we met again, she had become a mother of three children.
She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion, and she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She also had a good appearance. Even before she reached the age of marriage, many matchmakers came to her mansion.
But he never expected that he would encounter such a disaster in his lifetime. His beloved daughter was trapped in a rural farm for six years.
Thinking of this, she wished she could grind that family to ashes. As for the three children of the Qin family, Mrs. Shen You never intended to recognize them.
Nanny Qi didn't dare to respond to Madam Shen's words. She remained silent.
After a long moment, a trace of pain flashed in Old Madam Shen's eyes: "What is Ruyi doing now? She still hasn't figured it out? She also refuses to see Mei'er?"
Old Madam Shen will never forget the day when her eldest son Shen Junxing brought her daughter back home.
After six years of separation, when they met again and saw Shen Ruyi dressed like a peasant woman with a straw hairpin and a cloth skirt, Old Lady Shen cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Apart from the slightly red eyes, Shen Ruyi was eerily calm.
She knelt down and kowtowed to me, asking me to allow her to return to the Qin family and to treat her as dead from now on.
When Ruyi's best friend and sister-in-law, Tang Qingmei, came to persuade her with good intentions, she was so crazy that she slapped Tang Qingmei in the face in front of everyone.
She also claimed that it was not her turn to interfere in her own affairs.
Mrs. Shen was so disappointed, sad and furious that she slapped her daughter for the first time in her life.
The mother and daughter met again after a long separation, but their first meeting ended in a bad mood.
Mrs. Shen You couldn't understand how her daughter, who used to be dignified, virtuous, filial and caring, could have become so unreasonable now.
A slight pain came from her chest, and Madam Shen's body shook slightly.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
"You know the eldest lady's temper. I think she doesn't blame you, but she just can't get over the hurdle in her heart. One day she will figure it out..."
Upon seeing this, Nanny Qi hurried forward to support.
"Ten years! Isn't ten years enough for her to figure this out? Is the Qin family more important than me, their mother?"
A hint of anger appeared on Old Madam Shen's face. She pushed Madam Qi's hand away and interrupted her angrily.
If I had known this earlier, I would have preferred a short pain rather than a long one.
When Jun Xing went to pick up Ruyi, he shouldn't have shown mercy to that family.
After Shen Ruyi returned home, because she insisted on returning to the Qin family, Old Madam Shen even wanted to kill the Qin family who was far away in Taihe County, Ganzhou.
But when she saw her daughter's increasingly thin body and her calm eyes without any desire to survive, Mrs. Shen's heart suddenly softened again.
She was filled with disgust towards the Qin family, but because of Shen Ruyi, she couldn't get rid of them.
If Shen Ruyi had not been instilled with some bad ideas by that lowly peasant family during the years when she became a peasant woman, how could she have given up her job as the eldest daughter of a marquisate and insisted on going back to live a hard life?
Given the status and position of the Wu'an Marquisate, although Ruyi was a little older at the time and had passed the best time for marriage.
But as long as Shen Ruyi agrees, there will be many people who want to marry her.
However, although my daughter came back, she seemed to have lost her soul all day long.
Not only did she resist the marriage that was arranged for her with good intentions, she even threatened to die, saying that if anyone wanted to arrange a marriage for her, the other party would have to be a corpse carried out of the Marquis's mansion.
Old Madam Shen was shocked and angry after being threatened, and she completely gave up.
After Shen Ruyi came back, she moved directly into the most remote courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion and rarely showed up in public.
After ten years of returning, although they lived in the same house, the mother and daughter had only met a few times, and gradually a rift developed between them.
Old Madam Shen felt sorry for Shen Ruyi's misfortune and was angry at her for not fighting back, but she had no way to deal with Shen Ruyi, so she could only send someone to keep Shen Ruyi under guard.
At this glance, it is ten years.
"Forget it! Forget it! I don't worry about the people Mei'er arranged this time. After all, I won't have anything to do with that family in the future. I just hope they can be more sensible, otherwise it's no wonder that I am so cruel."
Old Madam Shen has always trusted her eldest daughter-in-law Tang Qingmei. It was just a small matter of giving her a sum of money and blackmailing her.
She didn't intend to ask who Tang Qingmei sent.
I remember that a few months ago, Mei'er inadvertently mentioned that the son of her distant cousin was actually a classmate of Qin Ziyan and would take part in the college entrance examination next year. I didn't know that the family had such thoughts.
The Qin family was determined to let their eldest son, who was a sycophantic and had bad conduct, take the imperial examination. Wasn't their purpose to go to Beijing one day and curry favor with the Marquis of Wu'an under the guise of taking the imperial examination?
At this moment, Old Madam Shen even suspected that the Qin family had already known Ruyi's identity.
