Chapter 221: Debauchery
Qin Xuerong's face was gloomy. She never expected things to turn out like this.
She dug her nails into her palms. Qin Guiqiong, who was standing beside her, supported her arm, looking a little anxious.
What exactly is going on?
It was clearly a trap set against Shen Shuyi, but how come it ended up involving his own daughter!
No matter how much Qin Xuerong could endure it, she couldn't remain calm when she looked at Shen Shuyi, who was so graceful, calm and famous, and then looked at her daughter, who was ridiculed by everyone, accused by the Sun family and covered in dust.
This bastard!
How on earth did she do it?
And how could Jingzhen, such a useless person, fall into her trap?
What made Qin Xuerong even more confused was that although Mrs. Feng's attitude was unclear before, she had never targeted Shen Jingzhen.
But now, after listening to what he said, it seemed that he had a hidden meaning.
Qin Xuerong pursed her lips tightly, suppressed her anger and said nothing, but Shen Jingchuan was held accountable in public by Mrs. Feng, so she had to respond.
Shen Jingchuan said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Feng's words are polite. It is true that the Shen family is not good at educating their daughters. I thought Sister Zhen was reflecting on her mistakes, but I didn't expect her to be so reckless and implicate Miss Sun. This is really wrong!"
My daughter has made a mistake, what can I do as a father?
Naturally, I can only bow my head and apologize!
Especially in front of so many people, Shen Jingchuan, who cares so much about his reputation, can only take the blame on himself.
But no one knew how proud he was because of the gift sent by Shen Shuyi not long ago, and how aggrieved he felt at this moment.
After saying this, Shen Jingchuan once again faced Lord Sun's family, bowed his hands and apologized, "This matter is indeed the negligence of our Shen family, and I was soft-hearted before. I will send someone to send Sister Zhen to the manor today. I hope Lord Sun will forgive me!"
Lord Sun frowned, although he also had some opinions about Shen Jingzhen.
But in the end, the two governments were on good terms, their relationship was complicated, and it also involved his cooperation with Shen Jingchuan in the court.
Therefore, Lord Sun said in a deep voice: "I watched Sister Zhen grow up. It is normal for her to love beauty at such a young age. Brother Shen has always been fair, but there is no need to vent his anger on Sister Zhen for such a small matter. Just teach her more."
Shen Jingchuan was grateful that the Sun family did not take advantage of the situation to be aggressive and saved face for him and the Shen family.
Shen Jingzhen almost spoke in a hurry, but when she heard what Lord Sun said, she choked up and said, "Dad, I really didn't know that hair oil contained osmanthus... Sister Hui and I have always been good friends... If I knew, why would I use these!"
Shen Jingzhen really didn't know, or even if she smelled some osmanthus fragrance at first, she never thought in this direction.
She had never learned how to manage a household, nor did she take Sun Yahui's illness too seriously. She didn't even know that even an overly stimulating and strong smell could cause her to have an attack.
"Shut up!" Shen Jingchuan shouted angrily. His temples began to throb as soon as he caught sight of the pink silk flower on her head.
Shen Jingzhen's eyes turned red and she dared not say a word.
She just wanted to make an appointment with Brother Feng to meet, but this outfit was really ugly, so she thought of taking off the hat, adding two hairpins, and then wearing a silk flower, so that it would not be too plain.
But she didn't expect that old lady Qian was so ignorant of etiquette that she actually raised her hand and pulled off her hat!
Also, didn't mother say that the Eight Treasures Cake had sweet osmanthus honey added to it? Why didn't Zhang Xu and Wang Mao taste it at all?
"Mr. Shen doesn't know why Miss Shen used it, but I believe you know it in your heart." A female voice sounded again.
The person who spoke was not someone else, but Feng Bochang's mother, Mrs. Feng.
Qin Xuerong's face darkened slightly. It was fine that Shen Jingzhen had offended Madam Wang before, but she really couldn't understand why Madam Feng was taking advantage of her misfortune today.
As a mother, Qin Xuerong naturally could not remain silent any longer.
Even if Shen Jingzhen did a thousand things wrong, she couldn't be humiliated in public like this.
Qin Xuerong looked directly at Madam Feng and said in a deep voice, "It is indeed wrong for Sister Zhen to bring trouble to Miss Sun. I just wonder if she has done anything else inappropriate that has upset Madam Feng? If so, I will apologize to Madam Feng on behalf of Sister Zhen."
Madam Feng sneered and glared at Qin Xuerong, saying, "Apology? If it's not Madam Shen, I'm afraid she really can't afford it!"
Qin Guiqiong was standing aside, smiling and trying to smooth things over: "What on earth does Madam Feng mean by this? If you have something to say, why don't you just speak up?"
Mrs. Feng glanced at her coldly, not recognizing who she was at all.
She didn't hesitate to take out the paper ball from her sleeve, unfolded it in public, and said coldly: "Since Madam Shen asked, then I will tell you."
"Everyone, take a look. This is the evidence that Third Miss Shen asked my son to have a private meeting in the Shen Mansion Garden!"
Although the paper was wrinkled, the line of beautiful small words on it was exceptionally clear.
[I have been thinking about you for a long time recently, but I am troubled by rumors. Would you like to see me? A quarter of an hour later, in the pavilion in the center of the lake in the Shen Mansion Garden, presented by Zhen'er.]
Everyone looked up and couldn't help but talk about it, and their eyes looking at Shen Jingzhen were filled with a bit of amusement and contempt.
"The Third Miss of the Shen family is a noble lady after all, how could she act so wantonly, just like a prostitute?"
"Who said it wasn't true? If it were me, she might have fallen into the water because she wanted to get close to the Wang family. It's a pity that Mr. Wang had such a kind heart, but he was taken advantage of and got stigmatized."
"They were secretly giving and receiving things in broad daylight. How shameless!"
"That's right. How could the Shen family, after all, be a noble family? How could they raise such a dissolute and shameless daughter?"
"..."
The group of people were talking about it, the women's eyes were mostly full of contempt, while the men were more likely to look down on and tease them.
Madam Feng heard the discussion of the group and said coldly, "You must make it clear that my son and her are innocent, otherwise this note would not have fallen into my hands!"
"Our Feng family has always been upright and honest. There are countless women who want to marry into our Feng family. My son has a bright future, why would he get involved with her?"
"If Miss Shen hadn't acted so unruly and Madam Shen hadn't asked this question, I wouldn't have wanted to talk about it. But it doesn't make sense for me to only care about Miss Shen's reputation and harm my own son's reputation. So I have to make this clear first, so that others won't just think that my Feng family bullied Miss Shen!"
Today, Lord Feng did not come, and this was a private emotional matter, so it was reasonable for Mrs. Feng to ask for an explanation.
Shen Jingchuan looked at the words of agreement written on the note and was so angry that he was shaking all over and his vision was getting darker.
Others may not know, but he knows it very well.
That is Shen Jingzhen's handwriting!
Absolutely no mistakes!
What's more, she left her own small handwriting!
Shen Jingzhen's eyes were filled with confusion, her cheeks flushed red with shame, tears welled up in her eyes, she stared at the scene in a daze.
She never expected that her appointment with Brother Feng would not only be discovered, but also announced by Mrs. Feng in public!
