Chapter 109 Perhaps It Was Unintentional
"Yes, it seems to be Shen Jingzhen, the third lady of the Shen family."
"Then... isn't this... Shen Jingan's sister?"
"It can't be such a coincidence, right? Just now, Master Shen said that if this happened to his family, he would not show mercy."
"..."
The group of people were talking about this, their eyes wandering back and forth between Shen Jingan and Qin Xuerong. They all seemed to think that the development of this matter was extremely interesting and truly unexpected.
Qin Xuerong finally came to her senses and confirmed that the wet woman in front of her was her daughter.
Her face turned pale, and she turned to look at Nanny Wang and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the clothes over!"
Nanny Wang obviously didn't expect things to turn out like this.
He immediately took the cloak and put it on Shen Jingzhen, and then used a handkerchief to wipe her face.
The water stains on her face dried up and her hair was gathered behind her head, revealing Shen Jingzhen's fair face.
When Mrs. Wang saw this scene, she was even more shocked.
Recently, she has been wanting to ask for Shen Jingyu, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, to marry Wang Xiao. She has a close relationship with Qin Xuerong and naturally has met Shen Jingzhen several times.
She always felt that although Shen Jingzhen was not as dignified and generous as Shen Jingyu, she was also coquettish and cute.
Who would have thought that she would belittle and despise her own son in such a way!
As soon as she saw Qin Xuerong, Shen Jingzhen immediately threw herself into her arms: "Mom! I don't want to marry into the Wang family! I don't want to marry that Wang Xiao!"
Shen Jingzhen burst into tears, and this behavior made Mrs. Wang very angry.
"What does the Shen family mean by this? Could it be that my son can't marry a suitable girl? Do you really think that my Wang family is willing to marry you?"
Madam Feng at the side said quietly, "Speaking of which, how could Miss Shen fall into the water here when she was fine? Where did the maids beside her go? Is there some hidden story behind this?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingzhen trembled subconsciously and became extremely anxious.
There was no other reason. This Mrs. Feng was Feng Bochang's mother. She loved Feng Bochang wholeheartedly and had always tried her best to show her affection in front of Mrs. Feng. But now, the faint sarcasm from the mother of her beloved made Shen Jingzhen feel disappointed.
Mrs. Wang sneered, "That's right. What kind of girl from a good family would run so far alone? And she even got herself into the lake. How do you know if she is doing something shameful?"
Shen Jingzhen was so rude to Wang Xiao, so Mrs. Wang naturally showed no mercy at all.
Although she was usually easy to talk to, when it came to asking for Shen Jingyu's hand in marriage, the Wang family had always kept a low profile.
But Shen Jingzhen looked down on her son so much.
This made Mrs. Wang inevitably think that it was some of Qin Xuerong's words that made Shen Jingzhen have such thoughts.
"Madam Wang, aren't you going too far? Falling into the water is a common thing. How can you ruin a woman's reputation like this?" Qin Xuerong hugged Shen Jingzhen, her lips trembling with anger.
But right now, she had no time to think about what was going on.
There was no time to investigate how Shen Shuyi, who was supposed to have fallen into the water, could have become his daughter!
Madam Wang sneered, "Reputation? The Shen family values reputation so much, how can Miss Shen's reputation be destroyed with just a few words? Moreover, according to what the Shen family said, Miss Shen fell into the water, and with so many men on the scene, her reputation is probably gone!"
These words made Qin Xuerong so angry that her face flushed and her skin turned red.
The group's eyes fell on Shen Jingzhen, which seemed to be more intriguing.
Apart from anything else, what Mrs. Wang said was not wrong.
Putting aside the fact that Shen Jingzhen was soaking wet and her skin was pressed against Wang Xiao's, the clothes she was wearing were soaked and stuck to her body, revealing every detail of the girl's curves.
In addition, the woman's clothes were thin to begin with, and the wet look was really very tempting.
Originally, Mrs. Wang felt quite indebted to Qin Xuerong and the Shen family because of her son's rescue. She was afraid that Wang Xiao would have some romantic affairs on the eve of the wedding, which would be unpleasant to the Shen family.
But now, seeing that the person Wang Xiao saved was Shen Jingzhen, all that guilt and uneasiness disappeared!
Not only that, but he was also very angry at Shen Jingzhen's previous indifference and contempt, and he completely fell out with the Shen family!
Shen Jingan, who was standing aside, had an expression that was indescribably ugly.
Seeing this, Zhao Baokun smiled and said, "Cousin, it seems that some things cannot be said too early. Now the one who fell into the water is your biological sister. I wonder what you think, cousin Zhen, should be hanged with a rope, or should she be sent to be a nun by having her hair chopped off?"
Shen Jingzhen clenched her fists and was speechless for a long time.
How could things become like this!
It was clearly Nanny Wang who reminded him just now that the person who fell into the water was that bitch Shen Shuyi, otherwise, why would he have made such a boast!
But unfortunately, that person turned out to be my own sister?
If he doesn't keep his word, how will he survive in the future?
"What do you mean by hanging? What about becoming a nun? I don't want it! I just slipped and fell into the water, how did it become something shameful?" Shen Jingzhen was anxious and annoyed, she never thought that such a thing would happen to her.
Qin Xuerong hugged her tightly and said in a deep voice, "Why did you fall into the water for no reason?"
When she mentioned this, Shen Jingzhen's tears started to fall again: "My second sister and I were having a heart-to-heart talk here, so I didn't let the maid get too close, but..."
When Shen Jingzhen said this, Qin Xuerong suddenly pinched her quietly.
Shen Jingzhen came back to her senses immediately, or rather, even if Qin Xuerong hadn't reminded her, she had this plan.
Why has it come to this, with her reputation ruined, but Shen Shuyi is nowhere to be found, living happily?
This bastard!
If it weren't for her, how could she have ended up like this?
"But then, I don't know how, the cat on the rockery suddenly pounced on my second sister and me. In a hurry, my second sister pushed me to avoid the cat."
"The lakeside was slippery, and I got scared, so I lost my balance and fell into the lake."
When this matter was mentioned, Shen Jingzhen's tears flowed more and more violently, and she looked quite aggrieved.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, everyone present heard the meaning of her words clearly!
"So, it was the second cousin who pushed the third cousin? That's why the third cousin fell into the water?" Zhao Baokun spoke in a cold voice, asking the question in everyone's mind.
Shen Jingzhen lowered her eyes, her expression full of pity: "Yes... Second sister may not have meant it, but if she hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have fallen into the water..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the group couldn't help but start talking in low voices again.
"The second young lady of the Shen family? Is she the one born to the previous wife?"
"It seems to be that person. I heard that she was brought back from the Jade Buddha Temple not long ago. But if what she said is true, the second young lady of the Shen family is too domineering. I'm afraid she has ulterior motives."
"We can't just listen to one side of the story. We have to let the second young lady of the Shen family have a say."
The focus of people's discussion immediately revolved around Shen Shuyi.
Of course, not all the people present were fools, and no one just blamed others. Instead, they just wanted to watch the show.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xuerong looked up and saw Shen Shuyi standing in the crowd with a calm expression. She immediately said in a deep voice: "Sister Yi, I have treated you well since you came back home. How could you do such a thing!"
