Chapter 778 Surprisingly
"Shen Jinglin, are you crazy? I can only give you one thousand taels at most!" Shen Jing'an subconsciously glanced at Liang Wanjun and scolded in a deep voice.
Shen Jinglin still looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a smile: "Why, second brother emptied the money in mother's hands, and now he wants to get rid of me with these three melons and two dates? How ridiculous!"
"No? Fine, then I'll call my father over and ask him in front of mother, how can my second brother, who is so talented, spend hundreds of thousands of silver on a pre-examination?"
"Where did this money come from, Dad? Our Shen family is so wealthy, I didn't expect it to be so rich?"
"Oh, and where did the money go? Why don't we ask father and grandmother to check the account, so that when our second brother becomes an official in the future, he won't be caught by others!"
Shen Jinglin was leaning on a crutch, but his eloquence was still as good as ever.
That reckless look can be said to have made Shen Jingan very angry. More importantly, what Shen Jinglin said casually hit Shen Jingan's sore spot.
He was afraid that if he let him continue to make trouble, it would ruin his future.
"Okay, Sixth Brother, I know you're in a bad mood, and the money you mentioned is all nonsense. Mother hasn't been in charge of the household for more than a year, and my eldest sister and third sister are married. Mother has been supporting us, so where would she get any money from?"
Shen Jingan would naturally not admit it, but he was also anxious to calm Shen Jinglin down in front of Liang Wanjun.
"Okay, I don't care about those nonsense, 50,000 taels of silver, not a penny less!"
Shen Jinglin was thinking about going to Tianxiang Tower to find Miss Wanwan. Although he was a cripple with a broken leg and blind eyes, as long as he had money, he could be the boss there.
In that kind of place, as long as one has money, no one will look down on him.
But in a well-known den of brothel like Tianxiang Tower, Shen Jinglin still wanted to suppress others, so naturally the money flowed like water.
Shen Jing'an suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "I don't have that much money. If you want money, you can go back and discuss it with mother and father..."
"Oh, no money? My sister-in-law just got married. If you don't have money, I'll always have my dowry!" Shen Jinglin said impatiently, and his words could be said to be extremely shameless.
No matter how hard Liang Wanjun tried to pretend, she couldn't laugh.
She thought that Shen Jing'an was gentle and talented, and would surely rise to a high position in the future, and her life would not be too bad.
But she didn't expect that on the first day of her marriage, her uncle not only behaved rudely and disrespectfully, but also set his sights on her dowry!
"How dare you! Listen to what you are saying. You have brought shame to the Shen family! Someone, lock him up in the yard. After I greet my mother, I will report to my father!"
Shen Jingan flicked his sleeves and scolded, his face looking grim.
At that moment, two servants came forward and took Shen Jinglin away. Shen Jinglin's crutches fell to the ground, leaving only one leg on the ground. Being dragged like this, it can be said that he had no image at all.
"Shen Jing'an, just wait for me! Just wait for me! Without the silver, this matter won't be so easy to resolve!"
Shen Shuyi and his men stood in a corner pavilion not far away, watching the scene with cold expressions.
It’s really lively, but it’s better to be more lively.
She likes the lively and bustling Shen family's home.
After Shen Jinglin was dragged away, Shen Jingan turned to look at Liang Wanjun, held her hand, and said considerately: "I'm sorry, I didn't discipline Sixth Brother well, I bumped into you, and made you laugh at me."
Liang Wanjun's cheeks turned red and she shook her head: "This has nothing to do with my husband."
Shen Jing'an sighed: "Sixth brother has been naughty since he was young, and his temperament has been spoiled by his mother and grandmother. He wanted to be a general, but swords have no eyes, and he never practiced hard, so he became like this after returning..."
"So that's how it is." Liang Wanjun said considerately.
"I will ask my father to discipline him later. Don't worry. As for your dowry, you can keep it for yourself. Even if I, Shen Jingan, am really short of money, there is absolutely no reason for me to touch my wife's dowry." Shen Jingan spoke with certainty.
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi chuckled.
Although all hypocrites in the world are different, they are surprisingly consistent in that they disgust people.
Shen Jingan is really short of money now, and he has actually thought about taking Liang Wanjun's dowry.
But now that Shen Jinglin had made such a fuss, it was difficult to speak up, so he decided to retreat in order to advance.
"Miss, is it true that the Second Young Master will not use the Second Young Master's wife's dowry?" Feicui asked from the side.
Shen Shuyi has had some free time recently, so he would occasionally bring jade with him and teach him carefully.
That day she saw the girl crying in the yard with red eyes, so she called someone in.
Although she is now a princess and the second branch of the family is in charge of the mansion, Feicui does not suffer any hardship.
But it is human nature to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. I think she has also suffered a lot of cold stares and ridicule in the past year or so, and she has grown a little.
At least, I won't be as naive as before, so naive that I can be taken advantage of without knowing it.
Jin Zhu glared at her angrily: "You are stupid! The Second Young Master is waiting for the Second Young Master's wife to ask for it! It would be better if you beg him to accept it, so as not to humiliate his gentlemanly demeanor."
Jade understood: "So that's how it is..."
Unfortunately, Liang Wanjun was not that stupid. She smiled and said, "I believe in my husband. I will never separate from him because of what my sixth brother said."
Shen Jing paused, feeling unhappy but not showing it on her face.
"But husband, what did sixth brother mean when he said that you spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the preliminary exam?" Liang Wanjun said with a smile, while looking at Shen Jing'an calmly.
She was threatened by Xiao Heyu in the past, but she was able to survive safely all these years. It is obvious that she is not a fool.
Shen Jingan paused, then said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, there is no such thing, it's just that mother wants to use some money to find someone to make concessions after I get a place, and say a few good words in front of His Majesty to get a good job for me..."
"So that's how it is." Liang Wanjun responded with a smile, which dispelled some of her doubts.
After all, if Shen Jing'an didn't have real talent and knowledge, how could he have written so many famous poems over the years?
Maybe she was just overthinking it.
The two of them went to Ruixueyuan together to pay their respects to Qin Xuerong, while Shen Shuyi left with the maids.
"Keep a close eye on Hongying in the next two days." Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice.
"Yes." After Jianpo agreed, Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at Feicui. Feicui immediately said, "Is it... because Hongying has no way to survive, maybe she wants to escape privately?"
Shen Shuyi nodded: "Not that stupid."
Feicui immediately showed a brilliant smile on her face. Shen Shuyi smiled and advised: "If you have any questions, ask Jinzhu and Yuping. If you still can't do it, then learn from Agate and talk less and watch more."
