Chapter 32 Idea
Shen Qingyu listened to Bai Ying's words, lowered his eyes and concealed his emotions.
In her heart, she just thought that the person in front of her was quite ridiculous. Perhaps the original Shen Qingyu would have waited for Bai Ying's apology for a lifetime and might not have gotten it, but now Bai Ying was willing to bow her head, not for her daughter, but for her son.
How miserable it is for this girl to live in this family.
"Actually, this matter is very simple. For a concubine to be a co-wife, it is a great thing for Concubine Yu Liu, but it is not entirely for Dad. My sister is pretty, and Dad wants to find her a future husband from a prominent family, or he wants my second brother to inherit the Shen family legitimately. It is not necessary to make Concubine Liu a co-wife. After all, you are still here, living well, and have managed the Shen family for so many years without any mistakes. Why should a concubine be promoted to the position?"
"Mother, don't forget that you are the legitimate daughter of the Bai family in Shanghang Prefecture, and Aunt Liu is just a concubine's daughter born to a lowly maid. How can she compare with you?"
Shen Qingyu despised her own remarks in her heart. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was the curse of this era, and she had to take advantage of it to survive in this place.
That's the rule here.
In fact, there were such invisible rules in her past life. Some people were born with wings to heaven and lived a wealthy life, but some people were poorly clothed and had no food to eat. God has never been fair.
Bai Ying's eyes lit up.
After Shen Ruyan came just now, her mind was completely confused. She was so angry that she didn't know what to do.
As the mistress of the house, she was not as clear-sighted as her daughter.
Bai Ying was very surprised. Was the person sitting in front of her still her daughter? If Shen Qingyu had not still had that ordinary appearance, Bai Ying would have suspected that her daughter had been swapped.
This was no longer the extremely stupid Shen Qingyu who only caused trouble for others. She clearly saw through everything about the Shen family.
That's why she could easily speak to Shen Chuanhe's heart with every word she said in front of him. Her daughter has grown up and become sensible, and can become her helper.
"Her concubine Liu was able to invite my eldest aunt to come for my sister's coming-of-age ceremony. Can't my mother meet the conditions proposed by her concubine?" Shen Qingyu said the most crucial sentence.
There is no friendship between Aunt Liu and Shen Ruyan. Since there is a connection between the two, I think they are doing things for each other because of their own interests.
Bai Ying reacted instantly, slammed the table and stood up, "Shen Ruyan is really bold, she dares to plot against everything, and now she has even plotted against the Shen family. She is a married woman, so what if she married the prefect? The Shen family's things are not something she can touch!"
Bai Ying keenly noticed what kind of deal could be made between Aunt Liu and Shen Ruyan. This eldest aunt of the Shen family, who was already married, actually wanted to get a share of the Shen family.
The Shen family is extremely wealthy. Even though the Shen family's business has been declining year by year under Shen Chuanhe's management in recent years, as a wealthy family in Jinling Prefecture, they are not comparable to ordinary merchant families.
Shen Ruyan is the second wife of the Xiao family. Before she gave birth to Xiao Qingye, the first wife of the Xiao family had already given birth to two legitimate sons, who were much older than Xiao Qingye. With the presence of these two, the legitimate son born to Xiao Qingye, the second wife, would inevitably be ranked behind when it comes to inheriting the family business in the future.
Although Mr. Xiao loved the Seventh Young Master Xiao very much and Xiao Qingye was well-known outside, Shen Ruyan knew in her heart that Xiao Qingye would not get any share of the Xiao family's assets, and those two would not let Xiao Qingye have too many things related to the Xiao family.
Therefore, Shen Ruyan set his sights on the Shen family.
Look at the Shen family today. Shen Chuanhe's only legitimate son has been seriously ill since birth. He was raised in this yard and cannot even go out of the door. He can't study or practice martial arts. He is simply a waste. Her younger brother doesn't want to hand over the huge family business of the Shen family to such a son.
On the other hand, if the illegitimate son wanted to get to the top, he would definitely need help and support from others, which would give Shen Ruyan an opportunity.
When Shen Youxing is able to take charge of the Shen family, it will be enough time for Shen Ruyan to make some moves and get a share of the Shen family for her own son.
Shen Qingyu saw that Bai Ying understood what was going on. After his anger subsided, he probably realized the real reason why Shen Ruyan supported Aunt Liu.
The eldest aunt of the Shen family is no simple person. Greed is her nature. She is also a villain in the book. She covets the wealth of the Shen family and does many evil things.
After knowing Shen Ruyan's true intention, although Bai Ying was angry, she gradually calmed down. Now that Aunt Liu was promoted to a co-wife, there was room for negotiation.
How could she, a noble lady from the Bai family of Shanghang Prefecture, allow the daughter of a lowly maid to bully her?
Lin Zhi seized the opportunity to hand over a cup of tea, "Madam, calm down. With the Second Miss to help you, I don't think anything serious will happen."
Bai Ying took the tea and sat down. Her anger had finally subsided. She looked at Lin Zhi and asked, "You just called Lin Zhi over. Did you get it done?"
Shen Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled. The fact that she used Lin Zhi to mobilize the manpower in the mansion could naturally not be hidden from Bai Ying's eyes.
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from mother's eyes. She is still worrying about Aunt Liu and my aunt, while she is still watching what I am doing over there."
Bai Ying snorted.
Shen Qingyu did not hide the matter of Taoist Qingyun from Bai Ying. Being able to get hold of something against Aunt Liu from Taoist Qingyun was a huge blessing for Bai Ying.
In this matter, both mother and daughter are on the same side and have never lied.
Listening to what Shen Qingyu did, Bai Ying's eyes became brighter and brighter. "As long as I can get a confession from this fake Taoist priest that Aunt Liu instructed him, wouldn't that bitch's handle fall into my hands? Qingyu, I tell you, this is a great opportunity to bring down Aunt Liu. Don't act rashly. If this matter is easily revealed, then everything you have done will be in vain, understand?"
Shen Qingyu felt a little annoyed. It was clearly her who captured Taoist Qingyun. If she hadn't used this trick, Bai Ying probably wouldn't have taken this matter to heart.
Perhaps Bai Ying felt that even if the mastermind behind this incident was Aunt Liu, with Shen Chuanhe protecting her, they might not be able to do anything to Aunt Liu. After all, Shen Qingyu was not important in Shen Chuanhe's heart.
Such a false accusation could be a big or small one if it was put on Aunt Liu. Even if she confessed, she could still bite back later.
