Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 288 How about, grandma, can you make up the money for him?

After finishing the business in the shop, Shan Wei just happened to come back: "Miss, I found out that the woman lives on Chui Liu Street and has a son named Shen Haobo who studies in the academy."

"Shen?" Yao Qingnian narrowed his eyes. Could it be such a coincidence that Shen Wenting's deceased good friend also had the surname Shen?

"Yes, miss!" Shan Wei replied.

"Let's go back home first and put this matter aside for now." Yao Qingnian took Shan Wei back home.

After this incident happened today, the whole capital knew that there was a new Miss Shen, Shen Nianran, in the Shangshu Mansion, who had been raised in the countryside since childhood.

As the rumors spread, they became more and more outrageous, saying that she was ugly and her words and deeds were vulgar. For a time, many people had different opinions, and some even ran to the gate of the Shangshu Mansion to find out the truth.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, a servant came to report that the old lady wanted her to come over. Yao Qingnian thought it must be about today's incident, so she went to the old lady's yard without any hurry.

"Evil creature! Get down on your knees! Who gave you the guts to cause trouble outside, and even bring it to the government? Where can we put the face of our Shangshu Mansion? It's also our fault that we sent you to the countryside since you were a child, and you lacked education. Today, I will teach you what the rules are! Come on! Bring up the family rules!"

As soon as Yao Qingnian came in, before she had time to speak, she was scolded by the old lady, who was sitting next to Shen Wenting and Shen Youran. It seemed that someone had exaggerated what happened today.

Shen Youran smiled secretly, pretending to be worried and concerned: "Sister, you acted too rashly today. You are a girl who shows up in public. What will you do if you meet a bad person? If your reputation is ruined, you won't be able to get married."

The old lady snorted coldly: "Can you learn from your sister and act like a lady from a noble family? Don't go out and embarrass the mansion again! From today on, hand over your housekeeper rights! Drag her away!" The old lady thought that if Yao Qingnian's housekeeper rights were deprived, Chen Shuhua's dowry would belong to the Shangshu Mansion and they could deal with it as they pleased. She would no longer need to look at the eyes of the mother and daughter.

Shen Wenting never said a word for her from beginning to end. This was something the three of them had already discussed. They wanted to teach her a lesson, and this was a good opportunity to do so.

"What are you still standing there for? Drag him away!" the old lady shouted.

"Wait! Grandmother, if you want to punish your granddaughter, you should make her convinced. It's too far-fetched to say that I did something wrong without any evidence."

"Sister, please admit your mistake to grandma! Since you just came back, I beg grandma not to blame you." Shen Youran was delighted. Wasn't she so proud that she even dared to punish her maid? Let's see what she will do now!

"Sister, you have forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed. Who is embarrassing yourself? Have you finished copying the female ring? Have you forgotten so quickly what happened between you and Master Pei in the Earl's Mansion? Do you want me to remind you in front of our grandmother and father what a girl's reputation is?" Yao Qingnian sat down by herself and started to confront whoever spoke.

The servants didn't know who to listen to for a moment and just stood there in a daze.

"My mother gave me the responsibility of housekeeping, and I shared the burden with her. What's wrong with that? Why should I give the housekeeping power to my grandmother? Huh?!"

"How dare you! How can you talk to your grandmother like that! This is truly lawless!" Shen Wenting slammed the table.

"I almost forgot, Father, you are still here! Didn't you see everything that happened today? I don't know how I made grandmother unhappy." Yao Qingnian's mouth felt a little dry after talking too much. Shan Wei immediately went to prepare milk tea for her. The aroma of the milk tea wafted around, causing everyone present to swallow their saliva unconsciously.

What kind of tea is this girl drinking? It smells so good, but she doesn’t even know to bring it to honor her as an elder. She is so uneducated, the old lady cursed in her heart.

"You! You made a mess in the shop outside today and caused the manager to be arrested! Why don't you admit it?" The old lady cursed angrily.

"Oh my god, grandma, you are wrongly accusing your granddaughter! Today I found out that the shopkeeper had forged accounts and embezzled silver. Do you know how much silver it was? Several thousand taels! This is not a small amount. Is it wrong for me to report him to the police? How did it become harming him? Do you think that such a parasite should be kept? If so, how about you make up the silver for him? I will go to the government immediately and explain in person that we have wronged the shopkeeper. I will kowtow to him and apologize. What do you think?" Yao Qingnian was speechless. This stepfather did something wrong and did not reflect on it. He even dared to throw dirty water on her. She was not that easy to bully.

"Why should I make up for it? Thousands of taels! Humph! They should be arrested. They are too mad!" She felt distressed when she heard about thousands of taels. Wen Ting was really a fool. He gave so much money as soon as he said it. It was better than the life of an old woman like her. It was impossible for them to fill this hole. It was better to arrest them. Otherwise, where would they find so much money?

"Yeah, grandma also thinks he should be arrested, so what's wrong with my granddaughter?" Yao Qingnian gave a simple and harmless smile.

The old lady then remembered her main purpose: "Even if you are not wrong in this matter, what about Ru Niang! She is the widow of your father's good friend. You slandered her in public and caused your father to be misunderstood. How do you explain this?"

"Grandma, this is even more unfair to me. She said she was the wife of the boss, and I thought she was my father's mistress! But think about it, my father is such an upright and loyal man, a model of men in the capital, how could he do such a thing worse than pigs and dogs! I was so anxious that I confronted her face to face to clear my father's name, but who knew that she was actually the widow of my father's good friend.

I have never heard my mother mention this matter. Maybe because I just came back, my mother has not had time to tell me yet. Don't worry, I will definitely ask my mother about it clearly. "

The people above could find no fault with Yao Qingnian's words. They had originally planned to teach her a lesson and take back the official power, but they didn't expect this girl to be so cunning and stubborn.

It was quiet for a while. Shen Wenting and the others all looked unhappy. Shen Youran stared at her angrily. She didn't expect that this bitch could dodge her again.

Yao Qingnian didn't care at all. She just liked the way they couldn't stand her but could do nothing about her.

"Since this is just a misunderstanding, there's no need to tell your mother to avoid letting her think too much. You should be careful about your words and actions in the future. You are the eldest daughter of our Shangshu Mansion, so you should always put Shangshu Mansion first, okay?" If she asked clearly, the whole thing would be exposed, so it's better not to let her know to avoid making a fuss again.

"My granddaughter will follow my grandmother's teachings and keep them in mind." Yao Qingnian said lightly.
