Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 57 Stop Arguing, I'll Think of a Solution

What could Old Madam Shen do? No matter how angry she was now, she couldn't be rude. She could still throw a tantrum in front of Marquis Shen, but the one who said this was her eldest son, so she could only endure it.

"My Lord, Jiaojiao is getting married now, and her dowry needs to be prepared. The Marquis's Mansion can no longer afford the money."

Old Madam Shen said to Lord Shen in a cold voice, asking him to bring out a set of rules.

Lord Shen said sullenly, "You have always been in charge of the household expenses in the mansion. Don't you know how much income the mansion has? Now you come to me, I will go to your place to get the money for you? Didn't I ask you to go back to your mother's house to borrow money last time? Have you used it up?"

Old Madam Shen was so angry when she was questioned by Lord Shen: "Lord, you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Do you know how much money it will cost just for today's banquet?"

Lord Shen grumbled, "I have used my private treasury to fill the hole. Now I don't even have any private money on hand. Where do you want me to find money? Do you want me to borrow money at high interest? If this gets out, wouldn't it be a joke that a dignified mansion is borrowing money at high interest?"

Shen Ling listened to his parents arguing about money. He reached out and pressed his temples. His temples were throbbing so hard that he even felt like his head was going to explode.

"Dad, Mom, stop arguing. I'll go think of a solution."

Shen Ling stopped his parents from arguing any further. Lord Shen was overjoyed: "Ling'er, do you still have money? You are really a good son to your father."

Old Madam Shen knew that her son had no money, so she said with some heartache: "Ling'er, didn't your private vault also get all emptied last time? Where are you going to get the money?"

Lord Shen didn't wait for Shen Ling to answer. He yelled at Old Madam Shen, "Li, if you don't have the ability to get the money, don't make such a fuss. Aren't you happy that your son has the ability to get the money?"

Shen Ling felt a headache after hearing this. He bowed and said, "Father, Mother, I will go out and find a solution."

Just left.

Old Madam Shen waited for Shen Ling to leave. She glared at Lord Shen with hatred: "Lord, don't you know whether Ling'er has a solution or not?"

Lord Shen didn't look at Old Madam Shen. He looked outside and said, "Ms. Li, if you can't manage this family well, I don't mind changing someone else to manage it."

When Old Lady Shen heard what Lord Shen said, she was immediately furious: "Lord Shen, what do you mean by this? Do you want to divorce me? I have worked hard for the Lord Shen's mansion and spent my whole life to be your housekeeper and give birth to your children. I have never made any mistakes. How dare you divorce me?"

Lord Shen said coldly: "Don't you know how many mistakes you have made? Apart from anything else, if you hadn't wanted to plot against Yun'er and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi today, would Jiaojiao be forced to marry Master Wang? Master Wang is old enough to be my father!"

Old Madam Shen's face turned pale: "My Lord, are you blaming me for this?"

Lord Shen sneered: "Li, do you really think that your tricks can deceive people?"

The reason why he didn't say it was because he also wanted to be the father-in-law of the King of Qi. However, he didn't expect that after Li had been in the Marquis' Mansion for decades, someone could actually plot against her.

It's really stupid.

Old Madam Shen rushed towards Lord Shen in a rage. Lord Shen grabbed her arm and slapped her several times: "Li, I'm telling you, don't go crazy in front of me! If you have the guts, go back and tell your family how you ruined your own daughter's life!" Li's face was crooked by Lord Shen's beating. She covered her face with her hands and cried about her contributions to the Marquis' Mansion and the Shen family. Lord Shen was too lazy to listen to her nonsense: "Li, I won't say anything extra. If you want to be a good Marquis' wife, you know what to do. Don't make me unhappy again."

After saying this, Lord Shen pushed Old Madam Shen to the ground and walked away.

Nanny Li and Nanny Liu tried to help Madam Shen up, but she collapsed to the ground and refused to get up, crying uncontrollably.

What a sin she has committed.

Nanny Li forcibly helped Madam Shen up from the ground: "Madam, you have to stay calm now. Miss San is trying to commit suicide and is waiting for you to make the decision for her. If you don't stand up, who will take care of Miss San? Miss San is going to marry into the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. Although there is no Madam Taifu, the sons and grandsons of the Imperial Tutor have already started families. There are many tricks in the harem. If you don't teach Miss San a little more and give her a dowry, how will Miss San live?"

Only then did Old Madam Shen stop crying, and walked back to Fushou Hall with firm steps, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to her family.

Xu Yan was also called to Fushou Hall.

"Yan'er, you also know the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion. The key to reviving the Marquis' Mansion lies in the Gu family."

Madam Shen's words made Xu Yan cry: "Mother! My husband and I will always be together!"

Xu Yan already knew that she had been abandoned by Old Madam Shen.

"Yan'er, mother naturally knows about your relationship with Ling'er, but Ling'er has made so many sacrifices for you. Now it's your turn to make some sacrifices for Ling'er. You can't be so selfish and always only want Ling'er to pay."

Madam Shen's voice was very cold. Xu Yan suddenly raised her head and said, "Mother, Yan'er has also made sacrifices. You said that Yan'er is now your husband's wife and asked Yan'er to take out all the dowry, whether it is a betrothal gift or the dowry prepared by my family for me. Have I ever said no?"

"Isn't this enough? A woman's dowry is her life. I have given my life to the Marquis' Mansion. What else do you want from me?"

Madam Shen reached out and supported Xu Yan: "Yan'er, mother knows all this, but the Marquis' Mansion really has no other options now."

Xu Yan laughed a little crazily: "Mother, do you want Yan'er to leave the Marquis' Mansion? Okay, then return Yan'er's dowry to Yan'er!"

Madam Shen patted Xu Yan's back gently and said, "What are you talking about, kid? I just want you to register Shaobai under the name of Gu's. What are you thinking about? Didn't Gu's family have the ability to let Mr. Song accept Shaobai as his apprentice?"

Xu Yan's face turned very ugly: "Mother, what do you want to do?"

If that’s all, will Gu be satisfied?

Under what circumstances would Gu agree to register Shen Shaobai under her name?
Shen Shaobai has lost his biological mother!

"Yan'er, I know that I have wronged you in this matter, but this is all for Shaobai's future. From now on, this huge mansion will belong to Shaobai alone. As long as he can be registered under the name of the Gu family, he will be the legitimate son of the mansion, and he will be able to inherit the Zhenbei Marquisate in the future!"
