Chapter 223: Just Right
Seeing the maids and old women coming up to pull her, Shen Jingzhen struggled desperately.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Her eyes were fixed on Feng Bochang, her face full of tear marks, and I felt sorry for her.
Due to the violent struggle, the originally neat hair fell down, giving it a rather dishevelled beauty.
Shen Jingzhen threw herself in front of Shen Jingchuan, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Dad, I really like Brother Feng! Give me a chance. Wang Xiao and I are really innocent. Please believe me!"
Shen Jingchuan could no longer hold back his anger.
He kicked Shen Jingzhen hard in the chest and shouted angrily, "Someone, send her to the manor and keep her under strict watch! No one is allowed to visit her without my order!"
Shen Jingzhen suddenly felt pain and staggered, with blood all over her palm.
When she heard that she was going to be sent to Zhuangzi, panic flashed in her eyes. She hurried forward and grabbed Shen Jingchuan's collar again: "Dad, what did I do wrong? Although I like Brother Feng, I have never gone beyond the limit. I just want to marry the person I like. Am I wrong?"
"Shut her mouth! Drag her away!" Old Madam Shen spoke angrily, her breathing becoming unstable due to anger.
An unmarried girl talks about love all the time and she just wants to get married!
Until now, he is still so self-righteous and doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong!
It is simply a disgrace to the family and a disgrace to the Shen family!
Aunt Qiulian immediately brought two maids and went forward to cover Shen Jingzhen's mouth. Then, regardless of Shen Jingzhen's struggle, she forcibly dragged her away.
Shen Jingzhen's gaze was fixed in the direction of Feng Bochang, as if she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to say something.
Feng Bochang looked in her direction, his eyes full of pity, and sighed deeply, seeming to be helpless.
Although the matter was embarrassing, since ancient times, in romantic affairs, women are always the more embarrassed.
Mrs. Feng felt somewhat proud in her heart. After all, someone was willing to die for her son, so it was her son's ability after all.
But no matter what, we still have to do the work of saving face.
Madam Feng frowned and scolded her son, "Bochang, why don't you apologize to Lord Shen and Madam Shen?"
Feng Bochang immediately clasped his hands together and bowed to Shen Jingchuan and Qin Xuerong.
"It's Bochang's fault. He accidentally helped the Third Miss before, but he didn't expect that it would cause misunderstandings. It's really Bochang's fault."
The skin on Shen Jingchuan's face was almost stiff, but at the moment the Feng family was very humble.
The note was written by his own daughter, and the intention to arrange a private meeting was also done by his daughter of the Shen family. Regardless of whether Feng Bochang had said anything to Shen Jingzhen before, at least for now, he was in trouble without any cause and was not at fault at all!
"My dear nephew, you are too polite. It is the Shen family that has failed to educate their daughter and made a fool of themselves in front of you." Shen Jingchuan clasped his hands together and faced everyone.
When Zhang from the second house saw this scene, she kept silent, but she was unhappy after all.
After all, Shen Jingzhen's incident might affect their family's You Ran's marriage, which is really disgusting!

By this point, the banquet had lost its original festive atmosphere.
Although there was a stage performance in the yard and many other activities prepared in the garden, after something like this happened, many people felt that they should not stay for long and left early.
However, party disputes have always been going on in the court.
Since the Shen family had caused such a thing, naturally some people wanted to take this opportunity to comfort Shen Jingchuan and make friends with the Shen family.
If someone makes friends with the Shen family, naturally there will be people who want to make fun of the Shen family.
So although nearly half of the guests left, quite a few still stayed.
Old Madam Shen was so angry that she wanted to pretend to be sick and go back to Jing'an Hall to rest, so as to avoid the annoyance of dealing with people with different thoughts.
But the Shen family has to maintain their reputation, and they can't leave the table before the guests have left.
Especially since this birthday banquet was originally held in her name, for the sake of the Shen family's reputation and her son's future, she had to stay and deal with it.
Madam Zhao, Madam Qin, Madam Shen and a group of people were walking together in the garden.
Madam Zhao said in a gentle voice, "Old sister, you should be more open-minded. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Zhen'er is still young and was just confused for a moment. Besides, apart from Zhen'er, Yu'er, Yi'er, and Ran'er are all good children."
Old Madam Shen sighed and shook her head: "I have spoiled her over the years. She is so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. It is really..."
Qin Xuerong followed beside him, her face pale, and took the initiative to admit her fault: "Mother, it is my daughter-in-law who did not teach her daughter well, and it has affected the reputation of our Shen family."
Madam Feng said, "It's normal for young people to be attracted to someone and feel that they can't help themselves. Although your Third Miss is a little frivolous, I think Sister Yu is steady and dignified. You don't have to blame yourself for everything."
Qin Xuerong forced a smile, but in her heart she already hated the Feng family.
Mrs. Feng's words were beautiful. Although they were rude to Shen Jingzhen, they also meant to ease the relationship between the two families.
"Sister Feng laughed at me. I will definitely discipline Sister Zhen strictly later."
Old Madam Qin didn't look very happy that day.
Not only was the granddaughter he had the highest hopes for outshined by a lowly creature, but her reputation was also brought upon by another granddaughter.
These days, they have been trying their best to please the Ninth Princess and win over the Eighth Prince's confidants, all for the position of the Eighth Prince's wife.
After what happened today, I'm afraid there will be a lot more variables in this marriage.
"There is no order without rules. It's time to discipline your child. You are a mother and cannot be so soft-hearted. You have to consider the future of your children." Old Madam Qin said in a deep voice.
"Mother is right." Qin Xuerong lowered her eyes and agreed.
"My aunt has been unwell recently and has been too busy, so she must be powerless. Also, cousin Zhen was so coquettish before, so this time there might be some hidden secret. You don't have to worry too much and should take care of your body." Lou Yulan walked beside Qin Guiqiong and spoke in a gentle voice.
Shen Shuyi glanced at her indifferently, his almond-shaped eyes clear and sharp.
At this moment, Madam Zhao stopped and looked at Lou Yulan, and asked, "Who is this lady?"
Madam Qin immediately said, "Madam, this is my granddaughter, her surname is Lou and her name is Yulan."
Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Miss Lou is really gentle and charming, a clear-headed person."
Madam Qin said, "She is no match for your Xue Qing, who has a beautiful figure and a heavenly appearance."
Qin Guiqiong followed beside her without saying a word, but she couldn't help feeling nervous, unable to figure out Madam Zhao's intentions.
After all, this Old Madam Zhao is the old lady of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion and also Shen Shuyi's grandmother. But why would she pay attention to their Yulan for no reason?
After saying this, Madam Zhao's eyes fell on the white jade peacock hairpin on Lou Yulan's head, and she said in a gentle voice, "Miss Lou, this hairpin is so unique and dazzling, it suits you perfectly."
