622 A Farce (3)
Shen Yue thought that after Shen Dongling married Wang Bi, the Wang family would make things difficult for and despise her for being a concubine’s daughter, but she did not expect Shen Dongling to actually do so well. This was like a huge mockery to her.
Shen Yue gritted her teeth and was a little indignant. Originally, she wanted Shen Dongling to replace her, but when she realized that Shen Dongling might actually be liked by the Wang family, Shen Yue was unhappy.
Everyone in the Shen family was stunned. Today, they expected the Wang family to kick up a fuss and fall out with the Shen family, but they did not expect the Wang family to have such an attitude. Not only did the Wang family not seem to hate Shen Dongling, but they also seemed to be very unhappy with the third branch of the Shen family.
Chen Ruoqiu was about to speak when she was stopped by Shen Wan. Shen Wan said, “In that case, I’ll visit the Wang family tomorrow to explain personally. Before that, I hope the Wang family can be rational and not be blinded by anger.”
The dark-skinned woman smiled and said, “Third Master, what are you talking about? The Wang mansion is very lively and harmonious at this moment. Master and Madam are both very satisfied with their daughter-in-law. They said that the daughter raised by the Shen family is extremely good. How can they be angry? Third Master, I’m afraid you’re thinking too much.”
This dark-skinned woman was quite eloquent. Her words rendered Shen Wan speechless. She patted Concubine Wan’s hand and smiled at Old Madam Shen. “I’m going to bring Concubine Wan back now. I’m still waiting for Old Madam’s permission. Eldest Young Master is waiting for me to go back.”
Old Madam Shen frowned and looked at Shen Wan and Shen Gui. She also vaguely sensed that something was wrong with what happened today. After all, Shen Wan was Shen Yue’s father, and Concubine Wan was from the second branch, so she could only ask her two sons for their opinion.
Shen Gui didn’t care. Shen Wan’s expression was dark, and he said, “In that case, Concubine Wan, go with her. It’s good for Second Miss to have someone familiar by her side.”
Concubine Wan was half surprised and half terrified. She was surprised that the Wang family did not seem to intend to pursue the matter with Shen Dongling. She was terrified that she did not know if the Wang family did this on purpose or if they were just trying to express their dissatisfaction and anger at the third branch. In the end, would Shen Dongling still end up miserably?
The dark-skinned woman took Concubine Wan away under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Shen family. Rongjing Hall was silent. A moment later, Old Madam Shen said coldly, “What exactly is going on!”
The strange attitude of the Wang family made the Shen family feel even more uneasy than falling out with the Wang family. Chang Zaiqing moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something. When she saw Shen Wan’s expression, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Shen Gui was a little embarrassed. Originally, it was Shen Dongling who snatched Shen Yue’s marriage. He also wanted to hand Shen Dongling and her mother over to the Wang family to appease the Wang family and the third branch, but he did not expect this to happen. Shen Gui cleared his throat and said, “I’ll write a letter to Dongling later and ask her what she’s up to!”
Shen Wan snorted and looked at Shen Yue. He said softly, “Yue, come with me.” He turned to look at Old Madam Shen and said, “Mother, we can’t do anything rash. After I personally go and apologize tomorrow, I think this matter will be resolved. It’s all my fault for disturbing your rest.”
