AWB Chapter 229 Reason
Chapter 229 Reason
As he spoke, Shen Jingchuan had already finished greeting everyone.
He glanced at the unpromising son who was huddled aside, and then said to Huo Yuanlang: "General Huo, I heard from Young Master Huo that this evil creature owes you and the Duke Chengguo's Mansion some money, and it seems that he has some other debts..."
Huo Yuanlang cupped his hands and said, "Brother Shen, you want to ask how much silver Young Master Shen still owes, right?"
Shen Jingchuan's face turned red with embarrassment: "That's right."
Huo Yuanlang looked at his son and said in a deep voice, "Xuan'er."
Huo Xuan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know everything, I only know that Shen Jinglin borrowed 20,000 taels from Furuilou that day, and Young Master Huang borrowed 10,000 taels. As for whether there are other accounts, you have to ask Young Master Shen himself!"
Hearing this, Shen Jingchuan's heart sank.
He didn't know who the little yellow eunuch was, but he knew exactly where Fu Rui Building was.
That is a restaurant that is backed by Prince Fu, and even Prince Rui has some shares in it.
Not only are all the people who go there high-ranking officials, but the expenses are staggering. It is not a place open to ordinary people, so naturally the consumption is expensive.
He, as the father, has not even been there twice, but Shen Jinglin, this evil creature, has become so capable that he dares to buy money on credit at Furui Building!
Sensing Shen Jingchuan's murderous gaze, Shen Jinglin shrank his head and remained silent.
After all, he was much calmer now, and Shen Jingchuan did not teach Shen Jinglin a lesson in public.
Zhao Dehai stepped forward and said, "I'll ask someone at Furui Tower to return the money first. I just don't know who this eunuch Huang is..."
Huo Xuan scratched his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know him very well either. I heard that he seems to be the godson of Eunuch Huang in the palace!"
Shen Jingchuan frowned and said, "I wonder where this eunuch Huang works?"
Huo Xuan thought for a moment and said again: "I don't know about that. I only know that he seems to be Eunuch Huang's godson."
Zhao Dehai asked again: "Which Eunuch Huang?"
Huo Xuan said without hesitation: "It's the eunuch Huang next to His Majesty~!"
Before Huo Xuan could finish his words, Huo Yuanlang covered his mouth and scolded him in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Huo Xuan paused, then looked up at his father, seemingly confused.
The people around them subconsciously fell silent the moment they heard these words.
Eunuch Huang?
He is the eunuch who holds the seal beside the current emperor and is also his confidant. If you offend Eunuch Huang, you can never be sure when he will be disgraced in front of the emperor.
For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Jingchuan with more sympathy.
Who made this little eunuch Huang the godson of Eunuch Huang? Regardless of whether they are related or not, eunuchs are rootless people. Now that he calls him dad, he must have won the favor of Eunuch Huang.
Shen Jingchuan couldn't smile, and his expression suddenly became more colorful than a color palette.
Shen Shuyi raised her eyebrows. Although she was the one who made this happen, it was undeniable that she felt a little sorry for her cheap father.
Shen Jingchuan just felt exhausted at the moment. Facing the gazes of the crowd, either gloating or sympathetic, he really had no mood to deal with it.
Shen Jingzhou said with a look of sternness: "Many things happened in the Shen Mansion today. I will come to apologize to you guys someday. I hope you guys will forgive me."
This means to send the guest away.
The group was quite tactful. Although they knew that there would be more excitement to see at the Shen family later, since the host intended to send them away, they couldn't force them to stay.
When Mrs. Wang left, she couldn't help but shook her head and whispered, "A loving mother often spoils her child. I always thought the Shen family was a good family, but I didn't expect..."
Yao Huiyan supported Madam Wang and said gently, "Perhaps every family has its own problems."
Madam Chai looked at Shen Jingchuan and sneered, "Lord Shen should really take good care of the inner house. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, don't expect our Chai family to help you."
Such impolite and arrogant remarks made Shen Jingchuan very angry.
Mrs. Chai sneered and left without looking back.
Although the two families reached a settlement, Mrs. Chai couldn't have a good face towards the Shen family when she thought of her son's injuries.
However, the two families are now tied together by a common secret, and her warning is also a precautionary measure.
I just hope Shen Jingchuan isn't too stupid and doesn't really cause trouble that threatens their Chai family.
But she thought that the Shen family probably didn't have the courage to do that. Besides, if he really dared to do so, her husband would always find a way to make him shut up.

After finally seeing off the group of people, the stiff smile that Shen Jingchuan had been forcing on his face finally loosened a little.
However, the people from the Qin family and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion were still there, and the two families were more or less related to the Shen family by marriage, so Shen Jingchuan had no reason to drive them away.
Madam Qin didn't want to leave because she was naturally worried about her daughter and children. However, she didn't expect that the people from Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion would be so shameless as to stay.
Madam Qin looked at Shen Jingchuan and said in a deep voice, "My dear son-in-law, it's not that I, as a mother-in-law, want to interfere in the family affairs of the Shen family. It's just that there are many strange things about this matter, and I don't understand a lot, so I also want to ask for clarification."
"Besides, Xuerong has been with you for many years and has never made such mistakes before. I also want our family to close the door and listen to what she has to say."
Madam Qin's words somewhat alluded to the Qingyuan Marquisate.
Shen Jingchuan cupped his hands and said, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? This is how it should be."
Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Old sister is right. People from my mansion should not be involved in the family affairs of the Shen family. However, one thing concerns my daughter and Sister Yi, so I can only stay here with a thick face..."
Shen Jingchuan also said: "That's not true. Although De Jong is not here, you are still my mother-in-law. This cannot be changed in any way."
Shen Jingchuan's words were nice. After all, Zhao Dehai had just paid the money for him, and the Qingyuan Marquisate had helped him out everywhere. How could he turn his back on him and drive him out?
At this time, Mrs. Shen was helped out of the room by Qin Xuerong and Zhang Jinping.
But in just half a day, the energetic old lady seemed to have aged a bit, and her cloudy eyes were full of gloom: "It's good that both of you are here. The mansion has been in chaos recently, and it's time to investigate the responsibility and ask the reason."
As Old Madam Shen spoke, everyone was invited into the main hall of the Shen family.
Qin Xuerong looked listless at the moment, her face looking haggard and ugly, but fortunately, she had some time to relax and calm down.
Old Madam Shen sat in the main seat, Shen Jingchuan, Qin Xuerong and others sat on one side, and Old Madam Qin, Old Madam Zhao, Old Master Zhao and other elders sat on the other side. Most of the other younger generations stood behind the elders.
"Brother Lin, let me ask you, why would you want to gamble on crickets out of the blue?" Qin Xuerong spoke first, trying hard to excuse Shen Jinglin.
