The General's residence in the Ding capital was originally decorated with flowers and in the eyes of outsiders, it was only revered. But whenever the General's residence was mentioned, everyone would think of the Formidable Great General's hard work and heroic horse riding.
But ever since the First household separated from the Shen family two years ago and were removed from the Shen family, the General's residence declined at a speed visible to others. Even though Shen Gui and Shen Wan tried their best to use their careers to support the former glory of the General's residence, unfortunately the paths of scholars and military officials were different. Scholars relied on their brains and mouths and if they wanted to obtain meritorious services, it would take a long time. Military officials were different. After fighting a battle and cutting off a few heads of the enemy, they could gain the respect of the people.
After the decline of the General's residence, even though there was still a name, it was not as attractive as before. These few days, it was not easy to attract people's attention again but bad news spread for a thousand Li. The most surprising thing was the matter in front of one's eyes. One did not know when it started but there was a rumour circulating in the streets that the Third Master of the Third household of the Shen family, Shen Wan, intended to divorce his wife.
Among the three sons of the Shen family, other than Shen Xin, even though Shen Gui was smooth, he was too lustful and did not do things clearly. Shen Wan, on the other hand, was different from his second brother. He was clean and honest, and he was not overly lustful towards women. Although he would play around with his colleagues, he would not cause any messy trouble. He also cherished his feathers and in everyone's eyes, he was a sophisticated and talented person. If he could endure for a few more years, his position would most likely be higher and higher.
And those official's Furens also had a good impression of Shen Wan. Not because of anything else, but because Shen Wan doted on his wife and daughter and did not have any other female in the inner courtyard. It was inevitable that those official's Furens would have some messy matters in their courtyards and treated Chen Rou Qiu with jealousy and envy. After all, it was not everyday to meet a husband who only treated one person well.
Who knew that at this critical juncture, when Shen Yue was already married, Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Wan suddenly had the matter of divorcing their wives.
The rumors in the streets were all true so one said, "That is not so. One heard that it was because Third Shen Furen did not have a son. You see, now there is not a single grandson in the Shen residence, one cannot just end the line like this. Not to mention that Second Master Shen brought concubines into the residence one after another, he also had two sons in the past. The third branch has never had a son. No wonder they are so anxious now. "
"Speaking of which, Third Master Shen's career is not bad. With such a big family business, it is a pity that there is no one to inherit it in the future."
"That Miss Chen's stomach doesn't live up to expectations and she can't give birth to a son after all these years. She doesn't even allow her husband to take a concubine, she is truly rude. Normal people wouldn't have this kind of attitude. If I was Third Master Shen, I would not be able to bear it. "
"Even concubines are not allowed. Tsk, such a virtuous and jealous woman, but still childless. It can be considered as one of a kind. Third Shen Furen is really pitiful."
The rumours in the entire Ding capital were all on Shen Wan's side. Chen Rou Qiu was originally a famous talented female in the Ding capital and came from a scholarly family, thus she was very popular in the circle of noble Furens. But this time, no matter if it was the common people or those matrons who flattered her or were on good terms with her, all of them unanimously accused her of wrongdoing. Perhaps it was because Chen Rou Qiu lived too blissfully in front of everyone that it made others jealous, but now that that blissful life had a tendency to burst out, everyone was happy to gloat or hit her when she was down.
In the Shen residence, Chen Rou Qiu smashed the white porcelain vase in front of her with a 'bang' and the vase splashed into pieces on the floor. The floor was full of dregs, but Chen Rou Qiu still could not vent her hatred and overturned the teacups on the table. Shi Qing and Hua Yi did not even dare to breathe loudly and allowed Chen Rou Qiu to create such a big movement.
