Chapter 777 Poor guy
In the evening, after Shen Shuyi returned to Yunshuyuan, she carefully examined the bill that Hongying handed to her and fell into deep thought.
"These things are not worth two hundred thousand taels." She lowered her eyes and looked at Hongying. She knew very well that Qin Xuerong should not have any genuine items in her hands.
Hongying said quickly: "Second Miss is right, I secretly checked and found that Madam's box is almost empty."
Shen Shuyi stared at her without saying anything. Hongying was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Madam does not have any money left, but she collected a lot of money from loan sharks a few days ago."
"How many?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Hongying shook her head: "I am not sure, but... it should be at least 50,000 taels."
"Tsk, it seems that my mother has amassed a lot of wealth in these years as the head of the family." Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows.
She has four children, two of her daughters are married, and her two sons are trying hard to drain her family's assets.
Over the past year, she had spent countless amounts of money. Even though she was at the end of her strength now, Shen Shuyi was still shocked.
Seeing that Shen Shuyi didn't say anything, Hongying became nervous and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Second Miss, this servant... this servant's indenture..."
Shen Shuyi put down what he was holding and looked at Hongying coldly.
"Hongying, it's not that I won't help you, but your belly is so big now, I'm afraid I can't keep it a secret for you."
Shen Shuyi said coldly: "Since you know what happened today, didn't you think about the consequences when you were hanging out with Zhiyuan?"
Upon hearing this, Hongying's heart sank. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Shuyi to confess her guilt.
"Second Miss, I was blinded by greed in the past. Please show me a way to survive! Please show me a way to survive!" Hongying knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
Shen Shuyi looked indifferent. What happened to Yuping in his previous life now happened to Hongying.
The difference is that Yuping was forced and had no choice, but Hongying was seeking her own death.
Now that fate has changed, it can be considered karma.
"Hongying, you must know that those who have secret dealings with others and get pregnant will be thrown into a pig cage. You want me to help you, so where do you put me?" Shen Shuyi said in an ice-cold voice.
Hongying was stunned, looking at the cold girl in front of her in a daze.
She had a vague premonition of something and fell to the ground, her eyes dull and lifeless, as if in despair.
After Hongying left, Shen Shuyi called Qinxin and said, "Go and send a message to Shen Jinglin. Tell him that although Qin Xuerong is short of money, she has spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on Shen Jingan's fame."
"Yes, ma'am."
After Qin Xin left, Shen Shuyi picked up the teacup and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Even if nothing has happened yet, Shen Jingan and Liang Wanjun can't expect to live in peace these days.
The next day, early in the morning.
Liang Wanjun and Shen Jing'an went to pay their respects to Qin Xuerong together. On the way, they met Shen Shuyi.
"Greetings, Princess." Liang Wanjun bowed and was obviously a little afraid of Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi looked at the high-spirited Shen Jingan and smiled meaningfully, but did not waste time with the two of them.
She was going to Xie Jingchi's house today. Since the wedding was not far away, she wanted to see how to arrange the items and decorate the house.
Seeing her leave, Liang Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief.
Since that day, her biggest worry after marrying into the Shen family was running into Shen Shuyi.
Fortunately, Shen Jingan comforted her and told her that she would get married sooner or later.
As for Shen Jing'an, she had inquired about him before. He had lived in Shuhanyuan for a long time and usually stayed indoors.
Otherwise, my mother-in-law is gentle and my father-in-law is not a bad-tempered person, so there is nothing wrong with it.
"My second brother is so happy. I, as his younger brother, really envy him!"
As soon as she looked away, Liang Wanjun was startled by someone who suddenly jumped out in front of her.
Shen Jinglin has grown a lot taller, but he is still shorter than Shen Jingan. He is leaning on a crutch with one hand and the trouser leg of one leg is empty.
Because he had been back home for some time, his complexion had improved a lot, but he still had a black eye patch on one of his eyes. Coupled with his unruly look, he was really scary.
Shen Jing'an frowned, but still introduced Liang Wanjun: "Don't be afraid, this is my sixth brother. He was ambushed by the enemy on the battlefield before, which is why he is like this."
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I'm here to pay my respects to you. I wish you and my second brother a happy marriage, a son soon, and that our Shen family will have more children soon!"
Shen Jinglin spoke with a smile, and although he still behaved the same as before, the feeling he gave people was completely different, and he looked a little more sinister.
Liang Wanjun tried to remain calm and nodded stiffly to express her gratitude.
But to her, Shen Jinglin's words and actions were too rude as her uncle.
Seeing that Shen Jing'an didn't say much, she chose to remain silent. After all, she was a new bride and Shen Jing'an was very popular. She didn't want to upset her family at this time.
Unfortunately, the two did not want to cause trouble, but Shen Jinglin did not intend to give up.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really short of money. I wonder if you can..."
As he spoke, Shen Jinglin stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers, his meaning was very clear.
Liang Wanjun didn't react for a moment, but Shen Jingan's face didn't look good.
"Sixth brother, have you had enough of making trouble? Mother gave you another five thousand taels a while ago, and in just a few days, you've already spent it all!"
Shen Jingan really felt ashamed and became more and more disgusted with his younger brother.
On the first day of his marriage, his own brother, who was born to the same mother, came to him and asked for money. How could he put his face like that?
When Shen Jinglin heard this, he immediately became angry: "Oh, second brother, what you said is not right. No matter how much I spend, I can't compare to you. Your mother spent a lot of money on your study and exams."
Hearing this, Shen Jing'an frowned subconsciously and looked at his expression carefully, worried that he knew something.
But in fact, Shen Jinglin didn't know the whole story. He just heard the news from others, but he didn't know how Shen Jingan could spend so much money.
"Brother An, I know you have been in a bad mood since you were injured. So, wait until your sister-in-law and I pay our respects to mother, and then I will give you some money."
Hearing this, Liang Wanjun's brows frowned uncontrollably.
Now that the family has not been divided yet and Shen Jinglin's parents are still alive, how can he ask his brother and sister-in-law for money?
Although Liang Wanjun felt unhappy, she endured it.
Shen Jinglin opened his mouth and said, "Fifty thousand taels, not a cent less."
Shen Jingan's expression started to look ugly: "Brother Lin, stop messing around!"
Shen Jinglin's eyes were gloomy. "I was wondering why mother didn't have any money at all. It turns out that you have taken it all away. Second brother has fame and fortune at his fingertips. Now that you have a beautiful woman by your side, won't you have money at your fingertips in the future? Why bother to fight with a poor man like me!"
