Chapter 230 What’s the intention?

Qin Xuerong's words were obviously suggestive. Shen Jinglin's eyes rolled around, and this time he reacted and subconsciously looked at Shen Shuyi.

"Yes...it was my second sister who saw that I was bored that day and gave me a cricket!"

Shen Jinglin raised his finger and pointed at Shen Shuyi who was standing behind Shen Jingchuan, and then added: "Yes, it was the cricket that my second sister gave me that day!"

Mrs. Zhao's expression did not change, but Mr. Zhao's face darkened.

This kid from the Shen family is simply an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!

He doesn't know what's good for him, he doesn't remember any favors, he's smooth-talking and he's useless!

The people in the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion remained calm and did not make trouble. Old Madam Qin was the first to sneer, "I didn't expect it was the Second Miss's work. I was wondering why the Shen Mansion has been so uneasy lately, but I forgot that the Second Miss had just returned from the Jade Buddha Temple."

Shen Jingchuan frowned, and Old Madam Shen also pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Shen Shuyi looked calm, walked forward and said softly: "When Lin Ge'er was put in solitary confinement, Shuyi did collect a lot of small things to entertain him. Father knows about this."

Shen Jingchuan said in a deep voice: "I do know this, but crickets are a waste of time, how can you give them to him!"

Shen Shuyi looked directly at Shen Jingchuan with her almond-shaped eyes: "Shuyi originally wanted to give Lin Ge'er a dog to relieve his boredom, but later he was afraid that cats and dogs would hurt people, so he thought it would be better to give him a cricket. However, although Shuyi gave the cricket, he never thought that Lin Ge'er, at such a young age, would go gambling with others and dare to buy such a large sum of money on credit."

Madam Qin said coldly, "Second Miss is such a sharp-tongued person. Giving this kind of thing to Lin Ge is obviously to make him lose his ambition. You have ulterior motives!"

Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold as she looked up at Old Madam Qin.

Facing the pair of gloomy and fierce eyes, Shen Shuyi showed no fear at all: "If grandma judges me in this way, then Shuyi has nothing to say. Father, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. If one's intentions are not right, even a gold hairpin or jade can become a murder weapon, and a good medicine or elixir can destroy a person's life. Everything depends on the person who uses it."

Shen Jingchuan still frowned and said slowly: "This is not without reason."

Old Madam Qin sneered, thinking that Shen Shuyi was really a sharp talker and had a vicious mind. It was no wonder that her daughter was repeatedly defeated by her.

"So, Miss Second gave you this cricket out of kindness? Or did I, an old woman, misunderstand you?"

Shen Shuyi said again: "First, the crickets that Shuyi gave to Lin Ge'er that day were just ordinary items, and they were really just to entertain him. Second, Shuyi also reminded mother that we must prevent Lin Ge'er from losing his ambition due to playing with things. If Lin Ge'er's confinement is suddenly released, it will be easy for him to cause trouble. Second Aunt and I have been busy preparing for the birthday banquet recently, so we naturally have no time to take care of him."

Hearing this, Qin Xuerong's face turned green, and her mind instantly recalled the words of advice that Shen Shuyi had said in front of Shen Jingchuan that day.

"Sister Yi, I treat you well. You are busy preparing for mother's birthday banquet every day, so how can I be idle? I..."

Qin Xuerong spoke in a cold voice, but was interrupted by Shen Shuyi before she could finish her words.

"Mother is indeed busy, but it is her responsibility to manage the household and educate her children. Shuyi can only do her best."

Shen Shuyi's words choked Qin Xuerong again and she was speechless.

After that, Shen Shuyi lowered her eyes and said quietly: "Besides, Shuyi is just Brother Lin's sister, how can she have the right to educate Brother Lin..."

Shen Jingchuan said in a cold voice: "That's right. It is your responsibility to be the head of the family. Do you really expect to push all these responsibilities onto Sister Yi? If you feel that you don't have the time and ability, you might as well hand over the power of the head of the family as soon as possible!"

Shen Jingchuan's words were extremely serious, and he was not polite at all, even in front of everyone from the Qin Mansion and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Obviously, there have been too many things happening recently, and everything has revealed Qin Xuerong's incompetence.

And these things have made Shen Jingchuan lose his patience with her!

Qin Xuerong's eyes turned red, and she knelt on the ground: "Master, I have been careful and cautious over the years, and I have never made any mistakes. But in the past few months, so many things have happened in our house. Don't you think it's strange?"

Shen Jingchuan frowned and said nothing, as if he was thinking seriously about what she said.

Madam Qin said, "My dear son-in-law, some things are calculated intentionally or unintentionally. No matter how hard others try to guard against them, it will be useless. Besides, only people commit thieves every day, and no one guards against thieves every day."

Qin Guiqiong also said: "Yes, brother-in-law, we watched Zhen Jie'er and Lin Ge'er grow up. They have always been obedient and sensible children. Why did they suddenly become so abnormal? Don't you think it's strange?"

Shen Jingchuan said nothing, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi looked frank, met his eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Daddy, do you suspect me?"

This question made Shen Jingchuan feel inexplicably guilty, and he was unable to respond for a while.

Shen Shuyi's voice was a little colder, and he said softly, "Let's not talk about whether Shuyi has such ability or not. I just want to ask, was the cricket that Lin Ge'er took to gamble money a gift from Shuyi?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Xuerong asked in a cold voice, not noticing that Lou Yuchen's heart skipped a beat and he looked a little uncomfortable.

"Shuyi said that what I gave were just ordinary crickets for fun. If you took them to a casino, you would have no chance of winning. I would never have lured Lin Ge'er here." Shen Shuyi's voice was clear.

Shen Jingchuan slapped the table, looked directly at Shen Jinglin, and said coldly: "Tell me where your cricket came from!"

Shen Jinglin stammered, "It was...it was given to me by my cousin from the Lou family!"

After these words were spoken, not to mention Qin Xuerong, even Old Madam Qin and Qin Guiqiong were dumbfounded, and subconsciously turned to look at Lou Yuchen beside them.

Old Master Chen, who had been holding back his words, sneered, "Oh, it seems that the Qin family can't get rid of this dirty water, so they are eager to pour it on my helpless granddaughter."

Zhao Dechuan also said leisurely: "Old Madam, do you want to ask your grandson what his intentions are?"

Zhao Dehai did not add insult to injury, but simply said: "Brother-in-law, I just asked someone about it. The cricket that Lin Ge'er took is called the 'Immortal Bird'. It is worth more than a thousand taels of silver. It is very valuable. He has been using this cricket every time he went to Fu Rui Tower recently."

Qin Guiqiong felt a little embarrassed and angrily scolded her son: "Brother Chen? What's going on?"

Lou Yuchen knew that something was wrong, and immediately knelt in the hall: "Mother, that day I saw my cousin looking for crickets at a high price, and I happened to get one, so I... I gave it to my cousin..."

"I, I thought he was just playing around. After all, cricket fighting is not uncommon in Beijing. But I didn't expect that he would bet so much and invest tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

Lou Yuchen hurriedly tried to excuse himself and put all the blame on Shen Jinglin.

After all, what Shen Shuyi said was right. The same thing will have different effects in the hands of different people.

He really wanted to please Shen Jinglin, but he never expected that Shen Jinglin would be so bold.
