Chapter 185 Dog's Courage
Shen Yanfeng and Jiang Sujin stayed in the new house until very late before leaving in a carriage.
The next day, a servant suddenly came in to report: "Young Madam, Madam Shen's two former maids suddenly ran out of the house last night and have not returned yet."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Why did the two of them run away?"
The treatment in the Shen Mansion was considered relatively high in the capital, and servants like them were eager to stay in the wealthy mansion, as only in this way could they earn more money.
What's more, in three years, they will be able to leave the Shen Mansion openly. What's more important is that when they leave, they can also receive a pension of thirty taels of silver.
What reason could make them flee from the Shen Mansion without giving up anything?
Servant: "I heard that the two of them have been bullied recently. Maybe it's because of this."
Jiang Sujin: "Even if we are squeezed again, we only have three years left. We should just be patient."
Shen Yanfeng: "Run away if you want. We in the Shen Mansion don't need these two people."
At this moment, you have to run, and it is obvious that someone supports it.
The person who supported them must be their old master, Madam Shen, otherwise they would not have been able to escape.
Mrs. Shen was in this situation, but she still wanted to help them escape. It was obvious that they knew some of her unknown secrets. In order to hide this secret forever, she would definitely find ways to send them away.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Yanfeng quickly reached out and touched her back: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Sujin: "It's okay!"
Mrs. Shen is Shen Yanfeng's biological mother after all. She knows that even if she tells it out, he will still protect her.
It was understandable that her son protected his mother, and she didn't want to argue with him.
After a while, Shen Yanfeng was called by Mr. Shen to play chess.
Shen Yanfeng originally planned to return to Yazhou after half a year. Now that Jiang Sujin is pregnant, he naturally has to wait until she gives birth, finishes the confinement period, and then waits until the baby is a little older before returning to Yazhou Island.
After Shen Yanfeng left, Jiang Sujin went directly to the meditation room in the backyard, and she also brought her three concubines with her.
They went there to express their condolences, but in fact they just went there to watch the fun.
Mrs. Shen is now in a much poorer state. She lives in this Zen room, and is usually served by only two maids. In addition, this place is far away from the kitchen, so the meals are often cold when they are delivered.
Mrs. Shen often lost her temper because of this, and the two maids could only serve them carefully. There were no other servants in the yard, so they had to rely on themselves for everything.
It seems that we are not enjoying the same life as before, but there is nothing we can do about it.
As soon as a few people entered, they were shocked by the soil in the yard.
The yard was paved with marble tiles, but they were covered with a thick layer of dirt and the marble surface was no longer visible. It was obvious that no one had cleaned them for a long time.
I thought the two maids wouldn't be able to handle it, so I was too lazy to clean.
In addition, the place was dusty and looked even more dilapidated than before they moved in.
When a few people entered the room, they saw Mrs. Shen sitting on the couch, stringing her Buddhist beads and muttering something.
After hearing the sound, he opened his eyes, and after seeing everyone, his face instantly darkened.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Sujin: "Of course, to see how miserable Madam Shen is now."
Mrs. Shen's hair accessories are obviously not as exquisite as before. In this remote place, she probably doesn't have anyone coming, so her hair is combed very loosely and her hair accessories are just a few plain hairpins.
Mrs. Shen, who was once elegant and noble, is now much more destitute than usual.
Madam Shen gritted her teeth and said, "No matter how down and out I am, I am still the eldest lady of the Shen family. No one can replace me."
Jiang Sujin: "No one is irreplaceable. For example, the Shen family can claim that you are seriously ill, and then announce your death after a while. No one in or outside the capital will doubt anything."
"After all, people who eat grains will inevitably get sick, not to mention that Madam Shen has done many evil things. Even if there is something wrong, it is God's mercy."
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen was so angry that she almost fainted. She suppressed her anger and said, "Jiang Sujin, as long as my son lives, you, Jiang Sujin, can't do anything to me."
Jiang Sujin raised her lips when she heard this: "I'm not good at it openly, but I have a lot of tricks to do secretly."
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Jiang Sujin, I'm going to kill you."
Third Aunt: "Madam, you have to stay calm. You are not the same as before. You used to be able to jump high and hit us, but now you don't have that ability."
Second Aunt: "Who says it's not true? Alas, people should still be kind-hearted, otherwise they will be punished in this life."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen was so angry that she couldn't help but pick up the tea bowl and smash it to the ground.
"You bunch of bitches, get out of here!"
Third Aunt: "I am a bitch, but fortunately I don't have to be trapped in the meditation room all day, right Madam Shen?"
Madam Shen: "Do you think I will be locked up like this forever? No matter what happens in the mansion, they will always put me first. As long as my son is here, as long as the old lady is here, as long as my family stands firm, I will always be the one and only Madam Shen."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this: "Being treated like a tool, put on the table, and then thrown into the meditation room and imprisoned, you think this is a good thing."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but cover her chest. It was obvious that she was so angry that her heart ached.
Jiang Sujin: "Alas, these two maids are unlucky. I'm afraid they will have to accompany you to die in this meditation room."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the two maids changed instantly.
Originally, they would be able to leave the Shen Mansion and retire in three years.
Mrs. Shen had promised her in the past that as long as they were obedient, she would give each of them a house and would be responsible for their old age care.
Mrs. Shen used to be powerful, but now she can hardly protect herself, not to mention that she is particularly mean to them now, losing her temper with them every day, and they live on thin ice every day.
Jiang Sujin: "Why not kick them out now? Then let the old lady arrange two young men for you."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen subconsciously glanced at the two maids. When they met her gaze, their eyes instantly became flustered.
Madam Shen: "These are people from my mother's family. My mother's family will naturally help me settle them down when the time comes."
The two maids knew too much, so she naturally would not let them fall into Jiang Sujin's arms.
It would be best if they were obedient, but if they were not, she would make them follow in the footsteps of those two people. In short, that matter must be kept secret in their hearts forever.
Jiang Sujin: "You are like this now. Do you think you can see your family again in this life? Even if you can see them, will the Shen family let you talk to them more?"
Madam Shen: "If they dare to do this to me, then I will make public the fact that the Shen family has imprisoned me.
Jiang Sujin: "If you dare to say that, the Shen family will definitely break up with you to protect themselves. By then, Old Madam Shen will definitely throw all the dirty water on Madam."
"Who knows, the Shen family might divorce you in anger. By then, you can only die in the wilderness."
The Third Aunt: "Young Madam, you are too kind. Madam Shen is both talented and beautiful. Maybe she can marry into another family in the future. If she works hard, she may even have a big fat boy."
Jiang Sujin: "If it was so easy for Madam Shen to have a child, wouldn't she have done it long ago? Why did she have to give birth to Shen Yanfeng as her only child, and why did she have to be on guard every day for the birth of a bastard?"
The back and forth conversation between Jiang Sujin and the Third Aunt made Madam Shen's face turn pale instantly, and then she passed out in anger.
Jiang Sujin didn't expect that Mrs. Shen, who was so thick-skinned, seemed to become particularly fragile after hearing these words.
"Come here, Xuanfu doctor."
Seeing this, the Third Aunt couldn't help but worry and asked, "Is she okay?"
Jiang Sujin: "No, good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. The more such people there are, the better it is to live!"
Jiang Sujin took the opportunity when the court doctor came to call the two maids outside.
"Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"
"We servants swear to follow Madam until death." One of the maids whispered.
They knew too well how powerful Madam Shen was, and their fear of her over the years had become ingrained in their bones.
Seeing that she couldn't pry open their mouths for the time being, Jiang Sujin gave up.
Just as Jiang Sujin expected, Mrs. Shen woke up after the court doctor arrived.
She was unconscious for more than two hours and always felt that the two maids must have been bribed by Jiang Sujin. As the saying goes, the more she feared something, the more she would think about it.
"Did that bitch say anything to you?"
Upon hearing this, the two maids were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
"Madam, please understand. The young lady did ask us about our future plans. We said that we would follow you till death."
Mrs. Shen glared at them with a dark face, then picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it on one of them on the head.
The nanny who was hit had a hole on her forehead instantly, and blood immediately flowed from her forehead.
"If you dare to betray me, I will make you live a life worse than death. Don't think that because I am in this state now, I will not be able to do anything to you in the future."
"I tell you, as long as I am still alive, I can still stir up the entire Shen Mansion."
"Which of these guards of the Shen Mansion has not received my favor? As long as I give the order, you will be beheaded immediately."
Upon hearing this, the two maids immediately began to kowtow frantically: "Madam, please calm down. We, the servants, will never dare to betray you."
Mrs. Shen looked at the two of them and saw that they were so scared that their whole bodies began to tremble. She couldn't help but snorted coldly.
These dogs are so timid that they will obey her as soon as she threatens them a little.
The next day, a female corpse floated out of a wild river in the capital and was sent to the government office.
The officials of the yamen didn't want to intervene at first, but they didn't expect that the clothes on the female corpse were embroidered with the words "Shen Mansion".
