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

Chapter 67: Master Shen is pretending to be sick
The Marquis turned around and glanced coldly at Shen
The old lady said: "Madam, I really have no other choice. If we have to die, let's die together."

Old Madam Shen never dreamed that the Marquis would say such a thing.

Old Madam Shen pointed at the Marquis and cursed, "Shen Tiancheng, how dare you say such words in front of your Shen family ancestors? Your ancestors laid the foundation for you with their blood and sweat, and in exchange for the honor of the Marquis' Mansion. You don't say that you will bring honor to your ancestors, but now you are actually going to drag the Marquis' Mansion to die like this. How dare you say such words? Will you have the face to see your ancestors in the afterlife?"

The Marquis kowtowed repeatedly: "All our ancestors were born unfilial. Tiancheng was born stupid and blind to marry Li, a vicious woman, and harmed our Shen family!"

Old Madam Shen never dreamed that the Marquis would actually blame all the mistakes on her at this time.

"Shen Tiancheng, are you still a man? When something goes wrong, you just blame everything on me. Are you still a man?"

Old Madam Shen rushed over and tried to pull at Lord Shen. Lord Shen was hurt by her and stood up and pushed her hard.

"Li, isn't this your fault? It was you who instigated your son to favor his concubine over his wife! It was you who wanted your son to steal his daughter-in-law's dowry and exchange it for hundreds of thousands to marry a concubine! After the truth was revealed, the Marquis's Mansion ended up in such a state!"

"All of this is because of you!"

Old Madam Shen listened to Lord Shen scolding her so harshly, and her body shook a few times: "Shen Tiancheng, how dare you say such hurtful words? Didn't you acquiesce to these things in the beginning? If something goes wrong, it's all my fault. Are you still a man?"

The two people started fighting in the ancestral hall. After all, the old lady was a woman and was no match for Lord Shen. She was beaten and unable to move.

Lord Shen injured the old lady, but he hugged her and cried non-stop: "Madam, Madam, I didn't mean it, please forgive me!"

He looked so sincere and heartfelt that it was hard to believe that he was the one who had just murdered the old lady.

Lord Shen sent Madam Shen back to Fushou Hall to recuperate and personally applied medicine to her.

The servants of Lingyun Pavilion came to report and invited five or six doctors to treat the prince, but no one could tell where the prince was injured, and no one could wake him up.

"My Lord and Madam, if we cannot invite the imperial physician to treat the prince, the prince..."

The servant didn't dare to say the following words.

"If the Gu family doesn't give the order, the imperial physician won't come."

Lord Shen said something, and Old Madam Shen grabbed his wrist tightly: "Lord, what should we do now?"

Lord Shen bowed deeply to Old Madam Shen and said, "Madam, please save Ling'er and the Marquis' Mansion!"

"The only plan now is to ask Madam to go back to the Yue family to borrow some money and send it to the Gu family to make amends. Only then can we save our son!"

Old Madam Shen's face looked very unhappy. In the end, she decided to go back to her parents' home to borrow money.

"Shen Tiancheng, calculate for yourself, how much money have I borrowed since I married into your Shen family!"

The Li family is a merchant family, but even so, they cannot fill the bottomless pit of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Madam, you and I are husband and wife. If you say something like this now, won't it hurt the relationship between husband and wife?"

Lord Shen's expression was also very ugly: "When you and I got married, we had already made it very clear that the Marquis' Mansion would provide convenience for the Li family to do business, and the Li family would help out when my Marquis' Mansion needed money. Madam, have you forgotten everything?"

Lord Shen's words became more and more unpleasant: "Thinking back, I, Shen Tiancheng, was also a dignified prince of the Marquisate, extremely talented and brilliant, but I married a merchant's daughter like you. How long have I been laughed at by the people of Kyoto?"

"If it wasn't for your Li family to continuously send money to support the Marquis' Mansion, would I have to marry a vulgar woman like you?"

"If I had married the daughter of a wealthy family, how could the backyard be managed like this by you now!" Lord Shen was very angry when he said this.

Old Madam Shen couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard Lord Shen's complaints.

"Shen Tiancheng, Shen Tiancheng, you clearly said that you fell in love with me at first sight and that you would marry me! But now it seems that you did it all for money!"

Once the veil is lifted, the truth is so unbearable.

Lord Shen didn't plan to play a trick with the old lady anymore: "Madam, now you and I are both nearly fifty years old. If you don't do it for the sake of our friendship, you should also do it for the sake of your son. You should hurry home to get the money."

"If you don't agree, then let your son fend for himself. I will write a divorce letter and send you back to the Li family. You and I will part ways. From now on, you don't have to worry about whether the Marquis's family lives or dies."

"But Madam, you have to think it over carefully. How are you going to live in the future if you are divorced and sent back to your parents' home at your age?"

After saying this, Lord Shen stood up and was about to leave.

Old Madam Shen rushed over and hugged his legs to prevent him from leaving: "Shen Tiancheng, tell me, have you ever had any feelings for me?"

Lord Shen hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pry open Madam Shen's hand: "Madam, we are young married couples, so we naturally have affection for each other."

Madam Shen took this step and said, "My Lord, as long as you are sincere to me, I can naturally go back to my parents' home to borrow money. But I can't guarantee how much I can borrow. After all, my parents are not the ones in charge of the family now."

When Lord Shen heard that Old Madam Shen was willing to go back to the Li family to borrow money, he smiled and said, "Madam, my brother and sister-in-law are both reasonable people. As long as you explain the interests to them clearly, they will be willing to lend money. This is a loan, not a repayment. Wait for the Marquis' Mansion..."

I couldn't say the following words.

Lord Shen asked his servants to dress up Old Madam Shen, then hitched a carriage and went back to the Li family to borrow money.

After seeing off Old Madam Shen, Lord Shen went to Lingyun Pavilion to visit his son.

Lord Shen dismissed the servants and called Shen Ling softly, "Ling'er, your mother has gone back to the Li family to borrow money, don't worry."

"I'll get a doctor to treat you later. Wake up now. Don't pretend to be unconscious."

Shen Ling's body remained motionless.

Lord Shen called the doctor: "Doctor, why hasn't my son woken up yet?"

The doctor rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "My Lord, I am not very skilled and cannot tell where the prince is injured."

The doctors didn't dare to say anything, they all thought the prince was pretending to be dead.

When Lord Shen was not here just now, they discussed it together and reached a unanimous agreement.

The son of the Marquis's family, Shen Ling, was pretending to be unconscious.

As for why he did this, you have to ask him.

I heard that Prince Shen was beaten by people from the General's Mansion and has been unconscious ever since.

The purpose of pretending to faint was naturally to blackmail the Gu family.
