The Rebirth of the Empress

Back to the House (part 3)

After the autumn rain spell there will be a coolness spell. But after a rainy autumn night, there is no trace of summer heat. Even the sun in the sky looked cold.

At the Shen residence, the Eastern courtyard was still a bustling sight. Grand Madam Shen loved luxury and often started preparations for her birthday celebration the next few months and the cost was certainly not small. The money in the joint fund is managed by Ren Wan Yun and although he is also a lot of skim, the celebration every year is still a lavish show and also looks quite stylish.

And that written invitation, which was sent to the Furens and Ladies in the various residences to inform them of the event, landed on the Third Household Furen, the talented Chen Rou Qiu.

Even though he had passed middle age, Chen Rou Qiu still maintained the figure of a young woman. Perhaps the atmosphere of the scientific appearance that added a lot to his demeanor made him look better than the plump Ren Wan Yun. It was because of her beautiful appearance, her gentle temperament and coupled with her ability to write and read poetry, she was able to enter the Third Master of the Shen residence. After being married for so many years, Chen Rou Qiu had no sons and only Shen Yue, one daughter. Other than the two Tongfangs that Grand Madam Shen had put into Shen Wan, there were no other concubines.

The three sons of the Shen residence had different temperaments. Shen Xin stood tall and firm but was too straightforward, not careful and somewhat blindly loyal. Shen Gui excels at cursing and is able to achieve success in one way or another in official office but covets wealth and lust for women. Aside from having Ren Wan Yun in the residence, he also had several concubines. It was just that Ren Wan Yun had powerful means, so even though there were many concubines, there was only a daughter of Shu and was unable to threaten the status of her Di daughter. Third Master, Shen Wan, by comparison is a real talent. If someone were to talk about his three sons, Shen Xin took the route Old General Shen, Shen Gui and Shen Wan took the civil official route, then Shen Wan had more real abilities than Second Brother.

But this does not mean that Shen Wan has no flaws. She did not want beauty and only had Chen Rou Qiu, the main wife, but she was very focused on strength and only wanted to climb. Thus, he would even step on his superiors to achieve that.

At this moment, Chen Rou Qiu carefully wrote the cards. The sun shone through the window and lightly landed on her body and made her facial features look like a young woman. Shen Qan was tidying her collar and when she saw it, she could not help but smile as she walked to her side to hug her from behind.

"Ah." Chen Rou Qiu blamed, “For what Master did this. Now my words are not well written and should be a waste of cards.”

"Let me see." Shen Wan pretended to take the card to look and commented, “His words are smooth and graceful, like her mistress. How can it not be written well?”

Chen Rou Qiu's entire face flushed red. When Shen Wan saw him, she could not help but feel his changing mood.

Even after so many years, there was still this attractive attraction from his wife, so much so that she would not even see another woman.

This was where Chen Rou Qiu was good at. There were so many daughters in the Chen family but only she could firmly grasp the heart of her husband. It was not because of other things but his patience. What kind of woman did Shen Wan like, she would be of any kind. Temperament can be installed, clothes can be changed to suit his liking. After a long time, men will be similar to pet cats and dogs and will only have you in their eyes.

"Sao Second must return today." Chen Rou Qiu curled up on Shen Wan's arm, “Don't know if Yue-er is used to eating food at the temple. Mountain roads are not easy to traverse, not sure if the journey is bumpy.”

Shen Wan laughed in spite of herself, “What worries piss you off. Second Sao will not let Yue-er starve or get cold.” Seeing Chen Rou Qiu still look worried, he laughed, “You always see Yue-er as a child. Yue-er is already that old and after a few years, she will reach the age of marriage. What will you do then?”

“As for Yue-er's wedding, I will naturally choose the perfect wedding for her. Family and character should be the best and should not be like Fifth Miss.” Her mouth slipped.

That night Grand Madam Shen was talking to Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu and had secretly mentioned marrying Shen Miao to Prince Yu. And as Prince Yu's intention, it would be to support the Second and Third household affairs of the Shen family so that Chen Rou Qiu had mentioned it to her husband. Shen Wan naturally agreed because she was obsessed with strength and authority but no matter how much she climbed, authority and reputation could not be compared to Shen Xin. She had been jealous of the First Household for so many years and towards Shen Miao, she did not have a single thread of feelings. If Prince Yu obtained Shen Miao and became happy, he would recommend him in official circles and would be considered an unexpected joy for Shen Wan. As for how Shen Miao would become from now onward, Shen Wan would not even care if he would be able to live well in the next half of his life.

"No idea if Second Sao has solved this problem." Shen Wan's expression became serious.

After Chen Rou Qiu saw her, his entire heart sank slightly. She knew that her husband had never placed power and authority in the first place, although Chen Rou Qiu did not care about the First household, but as a woman, she was very concerned about her family, there is a feeling of a fox grieving when a rabbit dies.

This time Ren Wan Yun suddenly proposed to go to the Wo Long Temple to pray, the people who knew for sure knew that there must be a hidden motive inside. Someone was afraid that after climbing the mountain this time, upon their return, he would only hear the sad news of Shen Miao.

"Keep in." He lightly spoke, "Shen Second is always doing things appropriately so the matter is ... It will be a definite plan."

“Then you are.” Shen Gui nodded.

The two were talking when they saw first rank servant Chen Rou Qiu suddenly run in and said with a hint of panic on his face, "Miss, Second Furen has brought the three young ladies back."

Looking at the panicked expression, Chen Rou Qiu was much more confident because he knew that most likely the matter would work. He smiled gently and glanced at Shen Gui before putting on a worried expression and asked, “Are the three young women alright? Are they tired?"

Chen Rou Qiu's smile suddenly ended.

*****

Everything is like a dream. In Shen's well-organized residence, in just a short period of a day, everything was in a mess.

Shen Qing went crazy.

Ren Wan Yun from the Second household would usually pretend to be the mother of the entire household. Although he had a smiling face, but the thunderous method was obvious to everyone. Regardless of how his character was, after so many years, there were no problems under his management that his management ability was recognized by everyone.

Yet this noble lady who had always never failed to remain calm and smiling for the first time showed a tired and crazy expression on her face. If there were no two maids by his side, the others would think that it was an unknown mad woman running in. And that young lady in his arms was completely insane. He continued to thrash and shout to the point that even Grand Madam Shen was shocked.

Although no one knew what the reason was, but the truth remained that the Eldest Young Miss of the Shen family went crazy. However, the Shen residence treated this matter like a taboo. The servants who had seen Shen Qing crazy were all sold. It is said to be for sale but who does not know that it was simply buried in a mass grave?

The two maids at Shen Qing's side, the two maids at Shen Yue's side and even Gui Momo were all locked up.

Therefore, the only person who was not injured was Shen Miao.

The Rong Jing Tang.

Grand Madam Shen sat on the highest seat and her face stretched out tightly. His eyes stared straight at Shen Miao, who was standing in the middle, and as if it was a venomous snake that could eat humans.

The three Young Miss who were fine left, the one who should have had an accident was fine but the one who should have been fine, ended up with the accident. The one who should have suffered stood here but Shen Qing from the Second House was suffering on his behalf. As long as Grand Madam Shen thought of this matter, her anger was like a huge rock crammed into her chest.

Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Wan stood to the side and Shen Miao could only stand beside Chen Rou Qiu with a grievance. Both of his personal servants were locked up for no reason whatsoever and previously Shen Miao had said that it would be difficult to save Huang Ying and Qing Luan.

On the other hand, Ren Wan Yun knelt in front of Grand Madam Shen. Shen Wan had some items in court and had not returned to the residence and the servant who had gone to invite her had not returned. Of course he didn't know that his daughter was in trouble.

"Old Lady, you have to make up your mind for Qing-er." Ren Wan Yun cried as his nose continued to flow that Shen Wan was also somewhat shocked. To see the Second Sao, who was always on the air, not even caring about his own appearance was indeed eye-opening. However, there was some comfort in Chen Rou Qiu's heart.

Ren Wan Yun had always answered with the power of being the one who governed the entire household and did not consider the Third Household. Now that her daughter had an accident, she was also like a dog crawling on the floor.

“Fifth Miss, I treated you like my own and Qing-er also gave up on you for all things. The two of you are sisters of the same bloodline, not to mention about supporting each other but how can you be so ruthless. You know that Qing-er's life was considered ruined by you. You are really cruel! ”

Shen Yue had told Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Wan about Shen Qing being insulted by someone and currently all the servants were expelled because Chen Rou Qiu was also afraid that someone would hear him.

Just as Shen Miao was about to speak, she suddenly heard an angry shout behind her, “Evil girl. You hurt your sister, have a poisonous heart like a viper and a scorpion and have to be thrown in jail and sentenced to even death is not enough!

Shen Miao smiled coldly and turned to face the man who was stepping.

It was Second Shu, Shen Qing's father, Shen Gui.
