Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

Chapter 156 Leaving

Some ladies from aristocratic families also became greedy. Such a young master Nanrong was truly enviable.

Although all the ladies of the noble families present here are dignified and noble, there are still some who secretly keep male lovers. Some of them, as their looks fade, are gradually neglected by the masters who are greedy for young and beautiful concubines; some marry a master they don’t love or whose appearance doesn’t suit their taste because of family marriage; some have been widowed for many years and can’t stand the loneliness...

Madam Wei is one of them. The master of the Wei family is seriously ill and has been bedridden for many years. Now the person who really holds power in the Wei family is Madam Wei’s son. Madam Wei’s son can be said to be extremely filial. In the Wei family, Madam Wei’s words are like imperial decrees, and no one dares to disobey them.

Therefore, some news about Mrs. Wei's affair with the young man had spread out.

In the book, Shen Chuanhe and Aunt Liu tried to please the wife, but they put a lot of effort into this aspect. Shen Qingyu could remember this point, which was that she felt that Madam Wei was really special in this world that adhered to the rules.

Madam Wei still had her charm, and she smiled and said to the other ladies of the noble families beside her: "The second young lady of the Shen family is really brave and resourceful. She actually came up with such a method to smash Madam Nanrong's mutton-fat jade and force Master Nanrong to show up."

"It's a pity that she has bad luck in this life and has such a face. Not to mention that she is not as good-looking as everyone present here, even the personal maid beside her is more beautiful than her. How could Master Nanrong be interested in her? Wouldn't it be a huge joke? I think Master Nanrong is kind-hearted and doesn't want to ruin the reputation of Nanrong Mansion, nor does he want to embarrass Madam Nanrong. That's why he hastily gave the purple bamboo flute he carried with him to the second young lady of the Shen family. Madam Liang, you don't have to worry too much. I think the position of the young lady of Nanrong will belong to Miss Liang. I saw it clearly just now. From the time Master Nanrong appeared until he left, he never looked at the second young lady Shen."

When Madam Liang heard her say this, she felt quite disgusted. “As a lady from a noble family, you have been staring at the young master for so long and have seen him clearly. Bah, how dare you say such words?”

But on the surface, Madam Liang sighed, "Although I am Yan'er's aunt, this child has never been close to anyone since he was a child. Perhaps it's because..."

As if she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have, Mrs. Liang quickly changed the subject and started talking to Miss Wei about Wei Xue.

When it comes to Wei Xue, Mrs. Wei's face becomes embarrassed. Her daughter is just like herself when she was young. She doesn't like reading and writing, but only likes to wield swords and guns. I'm afraid that none of the ladies from the noble families present are unaware of Xue'er's temper.

Now Xue'er has reached the age of marriage. The Nanrong family is out of their reach, but some aristocratic families, with their Wei family's status in Jinling Prefecture, are still a good match. But the infuriating thing is that when those ladies heard that it was her daughter Wei Xue, they all tried to refuse. Either their sons were already engaged, or their sons had to establish their careers before starting a family. To put it bluntly, they were afraid that if their sons married their daughter Wei Xue, they would not be able to control Xue'er in the future and would suffer.

"Mrs. Liang, is your son..."

Not married yet?

Seeing that Madam Wei had set her sights on her son, Madam Liang deliberately picked up the tea and took a sip, "Good tea, Madam Wei, you should taste it too."

Wei Xue's reputation is not much better than the second young lady of the Shen family. If she can only choose one of them, she would rather her son marry the second young lady Shen than marry that wild girl Wei Xue.

Madam Liang looked at Shen Qingyu and Madam Qi from time to time, looking at her meaningfully. Perhaps, there were other ladies from other noble families who were quietly re-examining her, with doubts, sarcasm, and sighs...

The strangest one was Shen Ruyan. She seemed to be smiling at her, but her smile was somewhat eerie and terrifying. Shen Qingyu couldn't guess what was going on and was too lazy to guess.

There is no good banquet at all. Staying will only add to the joke.

"Madam Nanrong, Qingyu is feeling unwell, so I'll take my leave first."

Even though she had such an unpleasant experience with Madam Nan Rong, Shen Qingyu could still smile kindly, with clear and innocent eyes.

Madam Nan Rong understood that one should not hit a smiling person. Moreover, as a lady of a noble family, if she continued to embarrass this young girl from the Shen family, it would seem that she, Madam Nan Rong, was lowering her status and not acting like an elder.

"Aunt, cousin Jinyue, Qingyu will leave first." Turning around, Shen Qingyu greeted Shen Ruyan and bowed to her.

She was neither humble nor arrogant, and she knew how to control her emotions. It seemed that she really couldn't keep the third brother's daughter. Shen Ruyan's heart sank, but she smiled kindly, "Go, be careful on the road."

She disrupted Madam Nanrong's birthday banquet and repeatedly refused to give Madam Nanrong the slightest face at the banquet. Now, she even left early and ignored the Nanrong family. Is the second young lady of the Shen family really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Doesn't she know that as long as the Nanrong family is willing, their small Shen family will soon disappear from Jinling Prefecture.

The ladies from the aristocratic families sitting at the table were shocked at Shen Qingyu's audacity, but they also implied that although the second young lady of the Shen family was talented, she did not know how to deal with the world. After all, she was not yet an adult and was still young and frivolous.

His knee was still aching slightly, and Shen Qingyu limped out with the help of Xiangyun.

"Shen Qingyu, wait for me!"

Now that Shen Qingyu had left, Shen Xitong naturally couldn't stay any longer. Those young ladies from aristocratic families who had been on good terms with her turned against her on the spot when they heard that she was just a concubine's daughter of the Shen family. Those who already knew her identity would never even look at her. Shen Xitong stomped her feet in anger and hurriedly went after Shen Qingyu.

"What a lousy banquet! I can't sit still any longer. Mother, let's go back home."

The master they had just worshipped had left, and Qi Yao also wanted to take Madam Qi away.

"You kid, you were the one who wanted to stay just now, and you are the one who wants to leave now." Madam Qi scolded. She had wanted to leave for a long time. These ladies and daughters who claimed to be from famous and prestigious families were all so arrogant and hypocritical. She was so angry about dining with them that she had no appetite at all.

Now her daughter has finally come to terms with it and will no longer be obsessed with Master Nanrong. Madam Qi is happy and feels somewhat grateful to Shen Qingyu. After exchanging a few polite words with Madam Nanrong, she takes Qi Yao away.

As soon as the wife of the prefect of Jinling Prefecture left, the ladies from noble families who had tried to curry favor with Madam Qi also found excuses and left.

Mrs. Nan Rong's expression was not very good, but she could only suppress the anger in her heart.
