AWB Chapter 120 Wish
Chapter 120 Wish
"Dad!" Shen Jinglin wanted to say something else, but Qin Xuerong stopped him and interrupted him, "Why don't you thank your father?"
Seeing Qin Xuerong's expression, Shen Jinglin was unwilling, but compared with Shen Jingzhen in front of him, he didn't think it was so hard to accept.
He immediately said in a muffled voice, like an eggplant hit by frost: "Thank you, Dad. I will try my best to correct my mistakes."
Because he was still injured, Shen Jinglin was sent back to his room by the servant. Old Madam Shen said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin's injuries are serious. Although a doctor has been invited to see him, in my opinion, we should invite a familiar imperial physician to come to the house to give him a thorough diagnosis and treatment to avoid leaving any root of the disease."
Shen Jingchuan responded: "That's right, mother."
After he finished speaking, Shen Jingchuan's eyes fell on Shen Jing'an, and he felt that only his performance today satisfied him.
"Ang'er, the poem you wrote today is quite good. Tomorrow, someone will definitely be spreading it in the capital. I see that the young master of the Chai family has a good relationship with you and seems to want to make friends with you. You should spend more time and get along with them more often."
Hearing this, Shen Jingan hesitated to speak, feeling that he had difficulty expressing his pain.
He wanted to tell Chai Bin and his group about how they had intentionally bullied and harassed him, but his uncle and aunt were both there, and his father was still angry, so this was obviously not a good time to confess.
Immediately, Shen Jing'an bowed and said, "Father is right, I understand."
Shen Jingchuan nodded. Although the Third Prince was ambitious and aimed at the position of Crown Prince, in order to avoid the suspicion of Emperor Qianwu, the Third Prince did not recruit many ministers but was quite cautious.
Emperor Qianwu is in his prime, and it is too early for him to take sides now.
But if they could become friends with the Third Prince's confidants, it would be like leaving a way out for the Shen family, so that when the Third Prince gains power in the future, he would not attack the Shen family first.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingchuan looked up at his gentle son again. Seeing that his cheeks were covered with a few scratches, he could not help but remind him: "Although you are not going to be a military officer, you should not neglect your martial arts. You should work harder. It is always good to strengthen your body."
"Father is right." Shen Jing'an responded in a deep voice, but his eyes were full of gloom.
It seems that I have to ask my mother to find out from the Chai family when she is free in the next few days to find out when he offended them.
Shen Jingchuan's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi again, and his voice softened a lot: "Sister Yi did a good job today. If you hadn't woken up the young grandson in time, Brother Lin would have been hurt even more seriously."
What Shen Jingchuan didn't say was that his face would only be lost even more!
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Dad, what you said makes Shuyi sad. Shuyi's last name is Shen, so he naturally understands the principle of sharing weal and woe. It's a pity that Shuyi is insignificant and cannot help the family more."
Facing his second daughter's frank, gentle and clear gaze, Shen Jingchuan felt even more guilty.
Shen Jingzhen was so reluctant to be confined to her own home, but her second daughter stayed alone in the Jade Buddha Temple for nearly five years.
But the more guilty Shen Jingchuan felt, the more he didn't know how to make up for it.
After a while, he said in a gentle voice, "You just returned home not long ago, and you must be short of money. Ask your mother to give you one thousand taels of silver, and pick out a few pieces of fabric that you like. In addition, I remember there is a screen inlaid with pink crystal in the storeroom. Find it later and keep it for your use in Yunshu Garden."
Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be happy and said affectionately, "Thank you, Daddy."
Seeing that she liked it, Shen Jingchuan finally felt a little comforted and relieved from the guilt in his heart.
On the other side, Qin Xuerong was so angry when she heard this.
Silver, silver again!
Not only did he have silver, but the master was even willing to give the gold and jade screen to Shen Shuyi. This bastard is really capable!
How long had she been back home, and how much silver had the master given her?
If it were usual, Qin Xuerong would definitely speak up to stop it, but now, she couldn't open her mouth.
Right now, the master had already questioned her ability to manage the household and educate the children, and he was angry. If she spoke again, it would only make Shen Jingchuan even more dissatisfied.
Qin Xuerong forced a smile and said in a gentle voice: "Today, thanks to Sister Yi for saving Brother Lin, I really don't know how to thank you. If..."
Qin Xuerong was interrupted by Shen Shuyi before she could finish her words.
"If you don't know how to thank me, mother, I have a wish, but I don't know if you are willing to fulfill it."
Qin Xuerong was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that she was just saying a few polite words, but Shen Shuyi dared to take advantage of her!
In fact, Shen Shuyi naturally had nothing to fear.
The sooner you give away the dowry left by your mother, the more say you will have and the more you can do.
Otherwise, no money?
It’s so difficult to do something about it!
Qin Xuerong remained silent, but Shen Jingchuan spoke first: "Sister Yi, if you have any wishes, just speak up."
It just so happened that he had always felt guilty and didn't know how to make up for it.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Shuyi has been back home for a few days, and I was thinking about whether I could ask my mother to return the dowry that my mother left behind to me."
When this was mentioned, cracks finally appeared on Qin Xuerong's well-maintained face.
This Shen Shuyi, she really dares to mention it!
Not only dare to think, but also dare to speak!
Qin Xuerong had expected this, but Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen frowned and were stunned for a moment. It was obvious that they had forgotten about this matter a long time ago.
Fortunately, Qin Xuerong had expected this day to come. She immediately wiped the non-existent tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Sister Yi, do you not trust your mother?"
Shen Shuyi said gently, "Mother, you misunderstood. I just thought that there are many things to do in the mansion now. Third sister's reputation has been damaged and she is heartbroken. Brother Lin was seriously injured and was confined. The whole mansion needs mother to take care of it. Not only that, you also have to take charge of the household expenses. It's really hard work."
"If I continue to worry about these trivial matters for Shuyi, Shuyi will feel guilty and it will be too bad."
Shen Shuyi's words were beautiful, and Qin Xuerong sneered in her heart.
"Look at what you said, kid. No matter how tired I am, I won't be tied up by your affairs. Besides, you haven't been in the house for the past few years, and I owe you a lot. Now, apart from helping you with this matter, I can't help you much in other aspects."
"If you are so estranged from me, it will really make me sad..."
Qin Xuerong's eyes were full of kindness and tears. She was also a little tired from today's efforts. At the moment, she looked really sad and upset.
Shen Shuyi said gently: "Shuyi knows what mother means, but..."
Qin Xuerong smiled and asked, "Just what?"
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi did not hesitate any longer and said in a gentle voice: "It's just that Shuyi can't help but think of what she saw in Linlang Pavilion that day. Linlang Pavilion is the shop left by my mother before she died, but the shopkeeper was bullying others by taking advantage of his power. If Shuyi hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard to believe."
