Chapter 398: The Tragedy of the Embroidery Shop (16)

A myriad of thoughts ran through her mind, but when she arrived at the guest house, she was shocked to find that, unlike the distinguished guest she had imagined, the courtyard in front of her was as small as it could be, and the things inside were obviously newly placed and very perfunctory.

Xu Aizhen was shaking with anger. Who arranged this?

"How can we live here?" Xiao Tao couldn't help but shout, causing the servants who were busy around to secretly look over.

There are three masters in the mansion. My cousin is not here, and I can't make any arrangements for my married cousin, so the only one I can do is my aunt.

But why does she do this?

Xu Aizhen stopped Xiaotao, closed her eyes, and decided to get through the night first.

Some people have a sleepless night, while others have sweet dreams.

Xu Aizhen got up at dawn and went to the main courtyard early in the morning. Of course, she didn't question the treatment she received, as she didn't dare to do that.

As she walked, she wondered how she should tactfully express her grievances, and even guessed that perhaps it was not her aunt's arrangement, but the servants' own decision?

But in the end, the servants said that the old lady had not woken up yet.

Xu Aizhen looked at the sky and thought to herself that her aunt was old after all, so she needed to sleep more so that she could take care of the family business. After she married her cousin and took over the business, she wouldn't have to trouble her anymore.

"I wonder if my cousin is up yet, I'll go talk to her."

Having said this, she took Xiao Tao with her and asked someone to lead the way.

After hearing this, the servants wanted to say something but stopped themselves. They wanted to say that the eldest lady was very busy and must have gone to the embroidery shop by now. But thinking that the other party was a relative after all, and it was not certain that the eldest lady would stay to entertain guests, they shut up.

When they arrived at the yard and asked, just as they expected, the maids said that the eldest lady had already gone out.

Xu Aizhen was holding back her anger from the moment she stepped into the yard, because the environment here was completely different from where she lived yesterday. It was just a sister-in-law who came back to her parents' home, but it was so extravagant. Fortunately, she was tactful and went back to her own home early in the morning.

"What a pity! I wanted to spend more time with my cousin, but she's gone. What about my cousin? I'll go find him."

So they changed the route and went to look for Shen Jinnian again, but this time they were not turned away.

Shen Jinnian didn't recognize her at first. "Girls really change a lot when they grow up. Aizhen, you have changed a lot. I still remember the chubby little boy you used to be. I didn't expect you to be so different now!"

Xu Aizhen: "...cousin!"

"That's in the past, don't mention it~!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I understand, I understand." Shen Jinnian was very happy, and the two had a good chat.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Xu Aizhen saw an easel in the room and immediately became interested. "Cousin, what did you paint?"

As she said that, she walked over. Shen Jinnian didn't even think about hiding, so he stood up and touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Look, see if my painting is good-looking!"

Xu Aizhen boasted without thinking, "My cousin must be a great painter, it must be good... to look at..."

The painting shows a woman surrounded by mist and rain. The scenery is not depicted in detail, but the woman's charm is captured, with affectionate eyes and eyebrows. One can tell at a glance that the painter put a lot of effort into it.

Suddenly, Xu Aizhen was confused. What did her cousin mean by this? Did he have someone he liked? How could that be possible? !

She turned her head with panic in her eyes, but Shen Jinnian's eyes were only on the painting with a smile on his lips.

What is there that is not clear about this situation?

"Cousin, who, who is this?" She was unwilling to give in and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Shen Jinnian said: "She is a...special girl"

Xu Aizhen lowered her head and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

She was obviously absent-minded in the following conversation, and the smile on her face was forced. Seeing that the other party was gradually losing interest in talking, she immediately started to think of a topic: "By the way, cousin, is Kaitai still here? We used to play together when we were young, why didn't I see him this time?"

Shen Jinnian's face paused slightly, and then he remembered that he had asked Awei to find someone, but he had forgotten about it for a moment.

But no matter what, it was a family matter and he shouldn't let his cousin get involved, so he said vaguely: "He left our house, and I don't know where he went."

Xu Aizhen didn't care about Zhou Kaitai at all, and after hearing what he said, she quickly dropped the subject.

"That's it..."

She glanced at the sky outside, her eyes twinkling: "Cousin, can I have lunch with you later?"

Shen Jinnian had no doubts: "Sure."

"Well! Thank you, cousin!" She felt aggrieved at first, then grateful.

"What's wrong? It's my duty to have dinner with you."

Xu Aizhen pursed her lips and hesitated. Xiao Tao behind her jumped out cleverly: "Master Shen, you don't know how wronged my young lady is!"

"Xiao Tao, stop talking."

"Miss, please don't stop me. They were wrong in the first place. Not only did they arrange a shabby yard for you, but they didn't even give you breakfast. This is not the way to treat guests at all!"

Xiao Tao was very angry: "The servants in the Shen Mansion are very rude!"

Xu Aizhen shook her head helplessly: "Cousin, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, it's not true"

Shen Jinnian knew it very well, "Aizhen, don't blame Xiaotao, it's all because of that girl Jinyu who doesn't know etiquette!"

Xu Aizhen frowned slightly. How could it be her cousin? As a married woman, could she still arrange for guests from her parents' home? This was not what she expected.

Anyway, her aunt was short-sighted and didn't like her. She had originally wanted to humble herself in front of her cousin and use this opportunity to persuade him to take over the family property so that she could legitimately take over the affairs of the mansion after marrying in, to avoid being accused of seizing power as a new daughter-in-law, which would sound bad.

As for the woman in the painting she had just seen, she thought it through and no longer took it seriously.

At first glance, that person was an old-fashioned woman. After all, she was a returned student from Southeast Asia. In terms of talent, appearance, family background, status, and the relationship between them, if she tried hard, her cousin would definitely be on her side.

If even that doesn't work, don't blame her for being ruthless, your cousin can only be yours.

At that moment, she came back to her senses, thought about what Shen Jinnian said, and asked the questions in her heart.

When it comes to this, Shen Jinnian is no longer calm. His face is not good, and he makes a big statement that shocks Xu Aizhen: "Mom has handed the Shen family over to Shen Jinyu!"

"what?!"

"Auntie, are you confused?"

Xu Aizhen exclaimed, and this comforted Shen Jinnian. He nodded secretly, isn't it just old and confused? Shen Jinyu, a woman who grew up in the boudoir and never went to school, could never manage such a large industry.

"I really don't know what mother is thinking. I just found out about this after I came back from school. This is simply nonsense!"

At this time, Xu Aizhen finally understood why Shen Jinyu had that attitude last night. Has she really become the master of this house?

"But, isn't Jinyu married?"

"Divorce, it's really outrageous!" Shen Jinnian finally found someone to vent her grievances to: "Mom is really old, how can she easily agree to a divorce? After this incident, I don't know how many people are laughing at my Shen family behind my back. She has never thought about how much dislike Jinyu will receive!"

"How can she get married in the future? Women should be faithful to their husbands!"

"..." Xu Aizhen covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and looked at him deeply.

As a woman, although she was shocked and angry that her cousin Shen Jinyu had taken away the Shen family, she did not agree with the words of her cousin who stood on the same front as her.

What's wrong with divorce? There are so many divorced women out there!

But now she would be the one who would suffer, so she straightened her expression and was filled with indignation for her cousin.

Shen Jinnian was touched that his cousin stood on his side, so he immediately took her to find Heshan to question Shen Jinyu.

The sun is shining, and the mountains are rising.

She let the two of them pick through the pile of food, then she looked at Shen Jinnian disappointedly and said, "You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you run a household. Your sister works hard outside to earn money, and this is how you treat her at home?"

"You rebellious son! Do you still have any conscience?"

"Pa" gave him a loud slap in the face.

"Clap"

These two big pouches are for Xu Aizhen.

"Aizhen, I didn't expect you to be such a person! We are aunt and nephew, and you three are cousins. What exactly are you dissatisfied with us for? Why do you want to sow discord between us like this!"

"Have you ever thought that your instigation would cause discord between the siblings, and that you would become a beast who disregards brotherly love for the sake of profit!"

Shen Jinnian's body trembled: "..." Click me? Click me? Click me? !

Xu Aizhen gnashed her teeth in hatred. This person had seen through all her thoughts! She quickly cried and said, "Aunt, how could you think of me like this? I didn't do that!"

He Shan covered his ears, not wanting to hear the tortoise chanting, and continued to output: "If it weren't for you, what would you be doing now? It is not gentlemanly to speak ill of others behind their backs. If you are dissatisfied, why don't you go and find out the whole story? Why don't you ask Jin Yu, but come to complain to me!"

"You two are so ambitious and ruthless!"

Xu Aizhen was so confused after being scolded that she couldn't even start to explain: "Listen to me..."

"Xu Aizhen, I thought you were my niece, and I let you live in the Shen Mansion, eating and wearing Jinyu's clothes and using Jinyu's things, but in the end you dared to slander her. I am letting a wolf into the house!"

"nausea!"

"clap clap"

"Oh!"

Shen Jinnian covered his stomach and took a deep breath, then looked at his mother in shock. Could his mother really do that action just now?

He slapped Xu Aijin several times, turned around and kicked him unexpectedly.

"Stop talking, all of you get out of the Shen family! We in the Shen family can't afford to keep ungrateful wolves like you!"

The struggle of the two was in vain. The servants were stunned by the old lady's great power. They quickly threw the two, no, the three of them including the screaming Xiaotao, out of the house. There were also people watching the excitement outside. The housekeeper explained the "facts" in a panic and then slammed the door.

Shen Jinnian couldn't believe it. He stood up suddenly and banged on the door: "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!"

Xu Aizhen lost all her face and dignity today, and the only thing left was hatred towards Heshan.

She stood up, calmed her trembling body, went forward to hold Shen Jinnian, and cried, "Cousin, cousin!"

Seeing that he didn't stop, she increased the strength of her hands and growled, "Cousin, wake up!"

"Let's leave first. Auntie is just angry for a moment. She will regret it soon. You are her own son. She can't just ignore you!"

"What we need to do now is to leave first and not be laughed at!"

Shen Jinnian seemed to have heard it and turned to look at her, but his face was grim and terrifying, "Get lost!"

If the person in front of me hadn't been talking nonsense in front of me, how could I have been kicked out? My mother is right, she is an ungrateful person who came here on purpose to harm me!

He pushed Xu Aizhen away fiercely and ran away with big strides, but he didn't dare to go too far. He even had a vague premonition in his heart that this time his mother was serious and really wanted to kick him out of the house.

But was he really so evil? No, even if there was something wrong, there was nothing that couldn't be explained between mother and son. Why did he treat me like this? Compared with the head of the family's younger sister, there was a world of difference!

Shen Jinnian cried out of grievance and sat under the bridge, feeling very sad, like a poor puppy.

This was the scene Wu Yanyun saw when she passed by. Thinking about how he had helped her drive away those people from the gambling house yesterday, she hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward with a soft heart.

"Are you okay?"

Shen Jinnian raised his head and turned away abruptly: "It's none of your business! Get out of here!"

Wu Yanyun was silent for a moment and sat with him for a long time, until it was dark, then she took the awkward Shen Jinnian back to her home.

Heshan did not interfere in their affairs. She just drove Shen Jinnian out and that was it. He felt sorry for the original owner, but the original owner did not ask for her to be killed, so she did not care.

But there is no way Xu Aizhen would let it go.

The Xu family lives in another city. After Xu Aizhen was kicked out, she had to live in a restaurant. She also wanted to help her cousin return to the Shen family, but she couldn't find him for a long time. Finally, she found him, but discovered that he didn't believe her at all. He said that it was she who caused him to be kicked out, so he hated her too.

Xu Aizhen was so angry that she tried to persuade him but failed. So she went to find Wu Yanyun, hoping she could help persuade him.

But because she worked in Shen's Embroidery Studio, Wu Yanyun was informed about the affairs between the two of them. In her opinion, Xu Aizhen did not seem like a good person, so she refused outright, saying that she could not and would not interfere in Shen Jinnian's affairs.

Xu Aizhen: “…”

She felt so tired, thinking about the Shen Jinnian she had secretly seen, who was clearly in love. He must be so happy to live in his lover's house? That idiot!!!

It's a pity that I can't realize my ambitions!

This plan failed, but she still had the evil intention and went to find Shen Jinyu. After all, they were siblings who grew up together. Could it be that Shen Jinyu was really so heartless? !

Unfortunately, the fact is, she followed him for several days and even went to his house, but Shen Jinyu refused to see her and didn't even see her!

Xu Aizhen was extremely angry, but she was unwilling to give up and decided to lie low for a while and wait for the opportunity.

After waiting for so long, she finally got her reward: her dear cousin was tired of living with Wu Yanyun.

That's right, ever since Shen Jinnian moved into Wu Yanyun's house, he quickly put aside his worries about being kicked out of the house, and lived happily with his sweetheart. He even thought that there was nothing wrong with this. After all, if he continued to stay in the Shen family, he would definitely be forced to marry a lady of equal status.

Now he can stay with his sweetheart forever, and he feels comfortable no matter how he thinks about it.
