Chapter 222 Don’t judge people by their appearance
Qin Xuerong never thought that she would get what she asked for. Her eyes went dark for a moment and her heart was trembling with anger.
"Sister Zhen, what do you have to say? Did you write this note?" Old Madam Shen asked in a deep voice, furious.
Originally, today was her birthday party. She felt sorry for Shen Jingzhen who had been under house arrest for many days, so she wanted to take this opportunity to let her out and test the attitudes of people in the capital, and give her a chance.
But who would have thought that she, a lady from a noble family, could be so shameless!
She actually painted her eyebrows and eyes and wanted to have a secret meeting with a man at her birthday party!
It's really hateful!
On the other side, Old Madam Qin's face was not very good either. After all, the Shen family was of the same blood. Shen Jingzhen acted dissolutely and had a bad reputation, which would inevitably implicate Shen Jingyu.
The two are sisters from the same mother, so it is difficult to ensure that the marriages of other daughters of the Shen family will not be affected.
But right now, Sister Yu is in the critical period of competing for the position of the Eighth Prince's wife, so it is difficult for Old Madam Qin to smile at Shen Jingzhen, her usually doted granddaughter.
Facing Qin Xuerong's gloomy and warning eyes, Shen Jingzhen was in a trance for a moment and then came to her senses.
"This... This is not something I wrote. I don't know where Mrs. Feng got this note from. How could she frame me like this?"
Shen Jingzhen stammered. As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ziting sarcastically said, "Oh, Miss Third, you dare to do it but you don't dare to admit it? Madam Feng has always been kind and has no grudges against you in the past or the present. Why does she want to ruin the reputation of a girl like you?"
This may not sound pleasant, but it is the truth.
After all, Feng Bochang is very popular now, and there are countless women in Beijing eyeing him. But Shen Jingzhen and Wang Xiao had just had that incident, and the Feng family has no reason to get involved at this time and get involved in the scandal.
Shen Jingchuan lowered his eyes and said angrily, "That's enough! You behave improperly and are dissolute! Your father should not have been soft-hearted towards you!"
Shen Jingchuan is not a fool, even though Qin Xuerong is trying hard to restore her daughter's reputation at this time.
But now many senior officials of the court are here, and as long as we compare it with Shen Jingzhen's previous handwriting, this matter cannot be denied at all.
If this is the case, why should you bring humiliation upon yourself?
Shen Jingchuan glared coldly at Shen Jingzhen in front of him, really not understanding how she could have become like this.
"I have always thought you were innocent and naive. Although you are arrogant, you are sensible and know etiquette. I didn't expect that you would not reflect on your own mistakes these days, but even want to teach others privately! Have you read all the books?"
"Dad...listen to me! I'm not...I'm just too anxious...I've been confined to my room these days and can't go anywhere...I really..."
Shen Jingzhen knelt on the ground, her face full of tears.
She wanted to explain herself, but she had no way to defend herself.
Madam Feng was standing by and said in a deep voice, "Miss Third is so eager to meet my son. I wonder what her intention is and what she wants?"
"Bochang, do you know why the third lady asked you out?" Mrs. Feng raised her eyes and looked at her son.
Although Feng Bochang liked Shen Jingzhen somewhat in his heart, he always knew how to weigh the pros and cons and assess the situation.
He stepped forward and said, "This matter was caused by me. Bochang is really guilty. But Bochang and the third lady are innocent. I really don't know why the third lady asked me out."
The lover also stood up at this time, and Shen Jingzhen felt unbearable heartache.
Not long ago... he still affectionately called her "Sister Zhen"...
But now, he is so distant from her!
Shen Jingzhen's eyes were filled with tears. She had so many things to say, but she couldn't say them at this moment!
Feng Bochang lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Jingzhen, and said seriously: "Miss Third, if you have anything to say, you might as well speak to Bochang in front of everyone."
Qin Xuerong was so angry that she felt dizzy. Seeing the Feng family's behavior, she knew that they would no longer consider her daughter. Saying more would only add to the humiliation.
He took a step forward and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Feng, there is no need to be like this. The Shen family did not discipline their daughter well. It is our fault and has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, Qin Xuerong said in a cold voice: "Come here, take her away! Without the master's order, she is not allowed to step out of the door!"
"No!"
I saw the nanny coming forward and trying to drag her away.
Shen Jingzhen was unwilling, and stared at Feng Bochang. After a long while, she couldn't help but said with tears in her eyes: "Wang Xiao and I are innocent, are you willing to marry me?"
These words were extremely bold.
Since ancient times, marriage has been an important matter that is decided by parents and matchmakers.
How could a girl from a respectable family ask such a question in public? Everyone thought that Shen Jingzhen was shameless and fickle!
Shen Shuyi stood in the corridor, watching the scene coldly, with his lips slightly curved.
Tsk, this Shen Jingzhen is even more impatient than she thought.
But it's also true that, like Shen Jinglin, she has Shen Jingyu on top of her, so Qin Xuerong is naturally more indulgent towards her.
Now that he has been punished severely and has never suffered such injustice, naturally he dares to say anything.
When Chai Zhi's wife saw this, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said teasingly, "Oh, the Shen family's family tradition is really open. The third young lady is really not a person who can be judged by appearance."
These words made the Shen family feel completely humiliated.
Not to mention that Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen were very angry, even Qin Xuerong's eyes were red. She raised her hand and slapped Shen Jingzhen hard without any courtesy.
"Shut up! Look at what you're saying!"
Qin Xuerong was really furious. After all, her daughter was the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and had been pampered since childhood. Why would she let herself be so lowly because of a man!
'Snapped! '
The crisp sound of the slap made Shen Jingzhen's cheek swollen and painful, and her ears buzzed.
She looked at her mother in disbelief, her eyes widening as she said, "Mom..."
Qin Xuerong's lips were trembling with anger, and her eyes were red. She pointed at Shen Jingzhen for a long time without saying a word.
Shen Jingzhen laughed out loud and yelled hysterically: "You hit me! You hit me again, and my second brother forced me to become a nun for his own reputation! You trapped me in the nunnery and made me live a life that was neither human nor ghost every day. What did I do wrong? Am I your daughter?"
Qin Xuerong felt dizzy in front of her eyes. She never expected that the children she had always been proud of would now suffer setbacks one after another.
Being suddenly brought up, Shen Jingan's frowning brows furrowed even tighter.
"Third sister, what you said makes mother sad. You are a woman, but you don't value your reputation. You don't repent when you make mistakes. Now you are taking advantage of grandmother's birthday party to meet with someone secretly, and you want to have private communication with him. Did mother teach you wrongly?"
Shen Jing'an looked righteous.
wrong?
Then he can't be wrong!
The only one who is wrong is others!
Shen Shuyi watched this farce coldly, with a hint of cruelty in his clear almond-shaped eyes.
Tsk, that's human nature.
However, this good show is not over yet, and I don’t know if Qin Xuerong can bear it.
