Wan YiNiang listened with fear and trepidation and asked tentatively, "So …"
"Do not look, do not ask and do not speak." Shen Dong Ling looked at herself in the mirror, "Let nature take its course. There will be a day when we can live a good life."
In the Shen residence, not only the people of Cai Yun Yuan were discussing about the matter, in Qiu Shui Yuan, Ren Wan Yun's name was also mentioned.
Chen Rou Qiu was wearing a plain white robe as she sat on the bed and said, "Second Sao's health is getting better. Master, what did Second Older Brother's side say?"
Shen Wan rubbed his forehead. Because of Shen Yuan's matter, the colleagues in court were quite critical of the Shen family. Even he was implicated and these days were not easy. He shook his head, "Second Older Brother did not mention about this matter."
"Even if Second Sao is really well, the Second household would only be left with Seventh Older Brother." Chen Rou Qiu said, "Second Older Brother's temperament is … In the future when each household brings concubines back, one fear …" Speaking till here, there was a feeling of the fox grieving for the rabbit's death. The difference between her and Ren Wan Yun was that Chen Rou Qiu was able to firmly grasp Shen Wan's heart but the Third household did not have any sons and now that Shen Yuan was dead, in Old Shen Furen's eyes, one fear that she was anxious to let her two sons bear branches and disperse leaves. Shen Gui's side was unfilial and was not a devoted person but on Shen Wan's side, if he was pressed … Chen Rou Qiu could not help but panic. How long could a man's favour last? But her stomach did not live up to expectations.
Shen Wan noticed that Chen Rou Qiu's expression was ugly and asked puzzledly, "What is wrong with you? Is your body not feeling well? "
Chen Rou Qiu forced a smile and shook her head, "Just thought of Eldest Brother and Eldest Sao's matter." After a pause, Chen Rou Qiu then said, "Eldest Brother and Eldest Sao have already decided to separate and even threatened to invite the elders of the family. One fear that they are not afraid of carrying the charge of being unfilial. "
"This matter was not handled properly by Mother." Shen Wan said, "Being held by others and if Eldest Brother was angered, he would mention the matter of Mother framing Qiu-er and the entire capital would poke our backbones."
Chen Rou Qiu nodded her head, "Correct. Most likely it is because of this point that Eldest Brother and Eldest Sao are so sure." Chen Rou Qiu said, "It has been peaceful for so many years. Why is there a need to separate at this juncture?" She could not help but think of Shen Miao. Ever since Shen Miao's temperament changed, many things in the Shen residence had quietly changed. In the past Shen Xin and wife treated the rest of the Shen family well, but that was because Shen Miao treated them well. Now that Shen Miao showed her dissatisfaction, Shen Xin and wife's attitude immediately changed.
Shen Wan sighed as Chen Rou Qiu asked, "Master, is there any leeway to turn this matter around?"
Shen Wan shook his head. "If it were us, we wouldn't be able to accept it either. Big Brother and his family were people who couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in their eyes, and the one they valued the most was Xiaowu. The Jing Family and Mother conspired against Qiu-er and Xiaowu, which was a taboo of Eldest Brother. They were already being merciful by only separating from the family. If it was Eldest Brother's temper in the past, I'm afraid he would have flipped this Shen residence upside down. "
"But …" Chen Ruo Qiu said, "It's not a good thing for us to separate now."
Shen Wan looked out of the window, "Now that the Second household has suffered heavy losses, Second Older Brother's and my career are blocked. In the past we could still rely on Eldest Brother's influence but once the family is separated, everyone would know that the Shen family is not in harmony and to curry favour with Eldest Brother, they would not associate with us. The Shen family's road would only be more difficult. "
"Not only that, the money in the public purse …" Chen Rou Qiu reminded. In the past Shen Xin's rewards were numerous but he was unable to spend it all year round in the Northwest region, so he handed it all over to the public purse. Old Shen Furen spent money extravagantly and Ren Wan Yun occasionally had to subsidize it, so he lived like this. Now that the family was separated, even if Shen Xin did not want the assets that the Old General left behind, their days would only get more difficult.
