Chapter 20

Qin's heart was finally settled after Gu Zhiyuan's words. In short, no matter how the Shen family was, if they wanted to come to bully her, they had to see if the uncle allowed him.

At night, Chen stood in the corridor. Madam Wu took a cloak to put it on. Chen sighed quietly, and Madam Wu asked, "What are the old lady thinking?"

Chen pondered for a moment: "I was thinking that something was going to happen in the mansion."

Madam Wu was surprised: "What is the old lady referring to? I have been staring at the common affairs and dare not let go of the new lady completely, so I will not..."

"It's not about common affairs in the mansion, but about debts." Madam Wu was Chen's companion room and served by her for decades. She was the most decent. She would not hide anything from Chen.

"Debt..." Madam Wu thought for a while, and seemed to guess something: "The old lady is talking about the Shen family?"

Today, the manager of the Shen family came to the mansion to deliver fresh goods in season. Madam Wu felt a little strange when she heard this. Now, after hearing what the old lady said, she immediately understood.

Chen nodded, and Madam Wu sighed deeply:

"Old lady, there is a saying that should not be said by my servants, but I have to say it. The new lady's style is actually not enough. Even if she has no money, she can tell the old lady or the uncle clearly that if she raises the new lady like that, she will not stand by and see what the new lady has done. The birthday party is quite pompous, but with such a big spend, many guests actually have opinions in their hearts, but they don't have any more than that.

After all, if Mrs. Xin just spent money on the birthday party, it would be fine. She could argue that she was filial. However, before and after the birthday party, her expenses for herself and the people around her increased several times. She had all kinds of jewelry, silk and satin, and piles of royal palaces. Some had settled the bill, and some had not settled the bill yet. I once told Sister Wang in Mrs. Xin's room that Mrs. Wang had no need to ask about our account and the office, and said that Mrs. Xin would solve the problem."

Madam Wu's words opened and she couldn't hide it anymore.

"But you also know, why should she solve the problem with the new lady? You are using the dowry mat of the pioneer lady. The senior brother was really confused and handed over the key. To put it bluntly, it was like a mouse in the rice jar. Sooner or later, all the rice jars will be empty and eaten." Madam Wu showed no mercy and said the thoughts in her heart: "The most important thing is that she shouldn't do this! I have never read a book, but I still know what kind of etiquette and integrity is. The new lady is known as the top female scholar in the Bo Mansion. There are no books she doesn't know, but why don't she even understand the most basic principles of being a human being. You and the Bo Man have been blinded by the new lady for so many years, and they don't know that she is so shameless."

Madam Wu became more and more excited as she spoke. Later, when Chen stared at her, she realized that she was talking too much.

"Some things that I cannot solve cannot be solved, and they are not right. Originally, I planned to wait for Zhu Jieer and his junior to grow up before letting them solve them. But now Zhu Jieer is smarter and capable than I imagined. After staying in Zhuangzi for a year, I understand everything I should understand."

"What the old lady means is that it was Zhu Jie'er's work when the Shen family came here this time?" Madam Wu was a little surprised.

Chen nodded without saying anything.

Madam Wu finally understood what the old lady said in her words, "What is going to happen?" If it was Sister Zhu'er's meaning, then the Shen family would definitely not give up when they come back.

"Then..." Madam Wu hesitated a little: "What should we do? Should we help Sister Zhu and the Shen family, or help the new wife?"

Chen pondered: "Of course, it's the right person to help the right person."

Madam Wu knows it.

The right side refers to Zhu Jie'er and the Shen family. The new wife can't afford the word "right".

"I'm afraid that this incident will be unfavorable to our reputation in the house."

Although the new lady forced the first wife to take over the dowry property, it was notorious for the new lady, but the new lady was also Mrs. Zhongpingbo, which was related to the face of Zhongpingbo's mansion.

"Hmph. Fame... is earned by oneself, not by hiding it. In the past, Master Bo didn't listen to my words, so he had to help a concubine be his wife. He said that she was well-educated and knowledgeable, and could educate the men in the Bo family into knowledgeable people. However, I didn't know how a woman with such character would educate a truly responsible and knowledgeable person. Now that the matter has happened, he should take responsibility for his choice."

The Chen family naturally cares about the face and reputation of the Zhongping Bo Mansion, but they will not tolerate those evil people and evil things just because of their care.

***************

Three days later, the uncle of the Shen family rushed to the capital and came to the uncle's mansion.

Gu Zhiyuan frowned when he heard the news: "What are he here to do?"

Changsui didn't know that Gu Zhiyuan had to put down the manual in his hand and went to the front hall to see the guests. He secretly regretted why he didn't go to the Hanlin Academy early today and stayed in the mansion to escape leisure, but he didn't expect to hide in a big trouble.

Shen Bo, the uncle of the Shen family, is the most powerful businessman in Jiangnan. He is a slightly fat middle-aged man with two beards, a man-in-law, and a saggy belly. He is quite rich. There are two Kongwu guards standing outside the door.

Gu Zhiyuan felt uncomfortable when Shen Bo had both calves, so he stepped into the threshold and shouted, "Brother is here."

Shen Bo turned around and looked Gu Zhiyuan up and down. It was obvious that this brother-in-law didn't look at Gu Zhiyuan very much. Because of the young and young death of Shen, the two families had a gangster. Shen Bo bowed and said no, Gu Zhiyuan invited him to take his seat. He gave up the words and got to the point.

"I don't know what the wind blows my elder brother. Is there something wrong with the shop or what?"

Gu Zhiyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. His tone was mostly impatient. Gu Zhiyuan didn't have that patience to the people of the Shen family. When he married Shen, he regretted it very much. Shen was beautiful, rich, elegant and gorgeous, but she only knew how to do business and planned. The two had no common words after marriage. He told her that night rain in Bashan, and she replied to him and said one or two coins, and she couldn't communicate at all.

Like Shen, the Shen family is all a rough man who only knows the smell of money and gets into money. He always keeps money in his words. If he doesn't know the truth, he will use a knife and a gun, and he will not be able to deal with it.

Shen Bo is doing business and traveling around the world. He has never seen anyone, but he doesn’t see many stones in the pit like Gu Zhiyuan after all. He doesn’t talk nonsense to him and said bluntly:

"It's okay in the shop. I'm here to do it today."

Gu Zhiyuan was absent-minded: "My uncle's house is full of poor scholars, and he is full of words. What can the elder brother do?"

"Dowry." Shen Bo didn't want to stay here for too long. He lamented again in his heart, how could his own girl fall in love with such an irresponsible, arrogant, and pretended to be aloof man.

Gu Zhiyuan frowned: "What?"
