Chapter 452 Jin She Loves Talent (23)
At the same time, Mrs. Shen, who had been "confined to her own house" for several days, was lazily leaning on the couch, holding a shiny and fragrant pig's trotter in her hand, and eating it with relish.
She opened her red lips slightly and took a bite of the tender and juicy trotter meat.
Then he smacked his lips in satisfaction and muttered to himself, "Well, this tastes really good, fragrant and delicious, fat but not greasy."
Recalling the free and easy time before she got married, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel emotional.
At that time, she was free and did whatever she wanted, and she especially loved all kinds of delicious food. The pig's trotter in front of her was one of her favorites.
However, since she married into the Shen family and became an official's wife, many rules and etiquette have bound her hands and feet, and her life has become boring and full of restrictions.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen felt a little regretful.
Recalling the first time I saw the high-spirited runner-up riding a horse in the parade, his handsome face and elegant temperament instantly caught my attention.
At that time, Mrs. Shen only thought that this man was so handsome, and must be a sensible, knowledgeable and interesting person.
So, despite her family's dissuasion, she insisted on marrying this seemingly elegant and ideal man.
Unexpectedly, after marriage, she found out that this husband with a bright and handsome appearance was actually a sanctimonious old scholar who talked about all kinds of things all day long and was extremely rigid and pedantic.
Looking at her master's distraught appearance, the housekeeper who was serving on the side felt helpless.
She has been following Madam Shen since she was a child and knows her master's preferences and temperament very well.
Normally, Mrs. Shen has a unique vision and is shrewd and capable, but she made a mistake in the important matter of marriage, which has led to her current situation.
As the saying goes, if you take a wrong step, all steps will be wrong.
In fact, when Mrs. Shen was still a girl, she was one of the most prominent daughters of an aristocratic family in the capital.
Although she has a strong personality, many people admire her.
However, fate played a trick on her. When she finally got her parents' consent to marry Mr. Shen, the second-ranked scholar, she found out that he already had a fiancée.
Mrs. Shen had also felt resentful, thinking that the other party should not have concealed the matter, but things had already happened and she definitely could not cancel the engagement.
In the end, I had no choice but to let that "fiancée" suffer. I thought the matter was resolved, but I didn't expect that after a few years, that person would show up again.
Mrs. Shen sat quietly, then looked at her hands and sighed softly: "My hands are still dirty after all."
She thought of her past self. She originally hated scheming against others, but sometimes it seemed that if she wanted to live in this world, she couldn't retreat at all.
The housekeeper thought that the master's hands were dirty from eating the pig's trotters, so she handed him a wet towel and said, "Master, wipe your hands!"
"Okay!" Mrs. Shen did not explain the meaning of her words just now, but directly took the cloth and wiped Lancao's hands.
Just when I was about to eat something else, a servant came over to inform that Miss Shen Yueying had arrived.
"What is she doing here?" Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, "Could it be that she can't fill the hole and wants me to help her?"
"It's possible." The housekeeper lowered her voice and whispered in Madam Shen's ear, "I heard that the eldest lady sold very few things from the Chu family before! And each item was a treasure. It seems that the extra money has been almost spent."
Mrs. Shen nodded to indicate that she understood.
In fact, her request for house arrest this time was partly to avoid this father and daughter.
As Shen Yueying's attitude towards Chu Yunfan became increasingly hostile in recent years, Mrs. Shen had a premonition that this marriage might not be possible.
No matter how much Chu Yunfan likes Shen Yueying, he is still a man. How could he tolerate his fiancée always "chatting about everything" with other people?
But she didn't expect that this man had endured for so many years. It seems that he really loves her very much!
Once such a person gives up, it is difficult to turn back!
Therefore, when Mrs. Shen heard that Shen Yueying had "injured" Chu Yunfan, she knew that things were going to get bad, and that's why she "confined" him to her own courtyard immediately.
In recent years, Shen Yueying's expenses have been increasing day by day, and the monthly allowance given by the Shen family is not enough to fill her teeth!
Now that the marriage is cancelled, the Chu family might ask for money and things first.
Mrs. Shen had a lot of dowry, but she left it to her son. After all, if he didn't have any talent, it would be a good choice for him to become a rich man in the future.
Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Yueying came in with her maid Yuya.
When she saw her mother, Madam Shen, she knelt down and said, "It is my incompetence that has caused my mother to be confined to her house."
Mrs. Shen felt a little guilty when she heard Shen Yueying's sorrowful tone.
She has a small kitchen in her yard, so she can cook whatever she wants. Besides, she doesn't like going out.
"My mother has lost weight in the past few days." Shen Yueying continued to lament.
Thin? How is that possible? She has a good meal! The pig's trotters that she hadn't finished eating had been hidden away, but because Shen Yueying came in such a hurry, Mrs. Shen didn't have time to "put on makeup", so she actually looked very good now.
Of course, this cannot be said to her face, so Mrs. Shen just shook her head: "I asked to be confined, I didn't suffer any hardship!"
After saying that, he didn't say anything else, just waiting to see what Shen Yueying wanted to say.
