Chapter 562 Getting what you want
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng immediately stood up from her chair: "What did you say!!!"
Shen Jingchuan also opened his mouth slightly, obviously not expecting Shen Shuyi to be... so dark.
Shen Shuyi curved his eyes, looked at Madam Feng and said, "If the Feng family can't come up with so much money at once, land deeds will do."
"The county lady is asking for too much. Why should our Feng family take this money?"
Shen Jingzhen was a little dumbfounded at this moment. She didn't expect Shen Shuyi to defend her so much.
"Commander Feng's actions have ruined the reputation of our Shen family. There are still many unmarried girls in our Shen Mansion. Their future marriages may be affected by this. Isn't it right for the Feng family to compensate us with some money?"
Shen Shuyi spoke with a smile, then took a sip of hot tea slowly.
Mrs. Feng sneered, thinking that the Princess of Changning was really bold.
"What the county lady said is really absurd. If your third young lady respects herself and loves herself, how can my son..."
Before Madam Feng finished her words, Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "So what you mean is that it was my third sister who took off Commander Feng's pants? And it was my powerless third sister who forced Commander Feng to have sex with her?"
"Oh, I see. You must be saying that Commander Feng was seriously injured and dying, and it was my third sister who was attracted by his beauty and stripped him of his clothes and did this and that to him. Commander Feng refused repeatedly, but was powerless to resist..."
"Cough! Cough..."
Shen Jingchuan and Zhang Jinping coughed quietly at the same time, and Shen Jingchuan was choked by the tea.
What kind of lewd words are these, Yijie? Do you really want to get married in the future?
Mrs. Feng's face was even more colorful than a color palette, with green and red alternating for a moment.
She has always been sharp-tongued, but now she was choked and speechless.
If she agreed with what Shen Shuyi said and just said that Shen Jingzhen seduced and forced Bochang, wouldn't he become a laughing stock in Beijing?
I was afraid that if it got out, people would laugh at him for being raped by a woman when he was seriously injured, and he wouldn't even know whose child it was...
Bochang has been ridiculed a lot in the past few days. If these words were to be spread again, he would be even more humiliated!
Taking a step back, no matter how injured his son was, he was still a personal soldier serving the emperor. Who would believe that he would be forced by a woman?
Madam Feng said forcefully, "What the county lady said is totally unreasonable. Even if our Bochang is wrong, your Third Miss Shen is not a good person either. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Don't you think this is true?"
Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his lips: "Madam, are you here at the Shen Mansion today to discuss right and wrong with our Shen family?"
Madam Feng felt upset. She usually didn't think much of it, but now she understood why this Princess Changning could gain the favor of the Empress Dowager and be promoted to Princess Changning in such a short period of time.
"Shuyi agrees with what madam said. It takes two to tango, don't you think?" Shen Shuyi looked at Madam Feng with a smile.
Mrs. Feng's face was gloomy, knowing that she had met her match.
"What does the county lady want?"
"My third sister is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and she can never be a concubine. Our Shen family can give her 64 sedan chairs as a dowry, but my third sister wants to marry Commander Feng as the principal wife. In addition, the Feng family must compensate our Shen family with 100,000 taels of silver."
Mrs. Feng pursed her lips tightly, obviously not intending to accept it.
Who would have thought that the next moment, Shen Shuyi changed the subject: "Madam Feng, my third sister treats Commander Feng sincerely. If you push her too far, she will make a scene and ask for an explanation without caring about her dignity. I'm afraid your Feng family will not get any benefit."
"What does the county lady mean?" Mrs. Feng's lips trembled with anger.
Shen Jingzhen understood now and said, "I will never be a concubine, and I will never let my child become a bastard! If the Feng family wants to humiliate me by making me a concubine, then I will just make a big fuss about it!"
"Anyway, I have nothing now, my reputation is ruined, so what if I am laughed at again?" Shen Jingzhen's eyes were red, and she looked a little crazy.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and said, "Yes, Madam Feng, my sister has always been bold and reckless. If she really does something wrong, I'm afraid you will lose more than you gain."
"Besides, although it takes two to tango, it is not easy to say whether this is a matter of mutual consent or forced flattery, don't you think?"
Shen Shuyi's words made Shen Jingzhen understand immediately.
"Mrs. Feng, I really like Brother Feng, but I am also a noble lady after all. If I had no other choice, how could I be so shameless as to have an affair with someone without a matchmaker?"
"Great! Great! Your Shen family really makes me look at you in a new light!" Mrs. Feng was so angry that her breathing became unstable.
After all, this helpless and difficult statement is thought-provoking.
If Shen Jingzhen really didn't care and killed their Bochang for forcing her, she might not suffer any loss, but she would be finished with their Bochang!
Not to mention that my official career will be ruined, I'm afraid it will be impossible for me to serve Your Majesty in such a close proximity anymore.
Shen Jingchuan finally felt proud now. After all, Feng Hu had given him such a great favor before, and he was not polite at all.
Now that Yi Jie'er has regained his face for him, Shen Jingchuan just feels happy.
As for this marriage...
Just looking at the Feng family's reluctant expressions, one can tell that it's good enough that these so-called in-laws don't become enemies.
Perhaps when Feng Hu becomes more open-minded and no longer has the glory he has today, he will look back and think of him as his relative.
But Shen Jingchuan didn't care. He worked in official circles and naturally had his own connections.
"As the saying goes, a daughter from one family is sought after by hundreds of families. This is the condition of our Shen family. If the Feng family is unwilling, I think father doesn't have to beat the child." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.
Shen Jingchuan came back to his senses: "Oh? Then what do you think we should do?"
"Third sister has always been well-behaved and lovely. Now she has been framed several times. Although she cannot marry into a wealthy family, I think there will always be someone among the merchants and scholars who are willing to marry Zhen Jieer and give her a status."
Mrs. Feng felt like there was something stuck in her throat. What did Shen Shuyi mean?
"Of course, as long as Madam Feng and Commander Feng don't mind their grandson calling someone else dad." Shen Shuyi explained with a smile.
Mrs. Feng clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand. Damn it!
Not only was her son's bright future ruined, but now he was also being controlled by Shen Jingzhen!
These people from the Shen family are truly shameless!
Zhang Jinping watched with great interest. After all, with Shen Shuyi there, she didn't need to say anything. She just needed to cooperate.
"Mrs. Feng, why don't you go back and think about it? After all, there is still some time before the baby is born." Shen Shuyi saw the guest off with a smile.
Mrs. Feng's face almost turned green.
Wait until the child is born before taking him back to Feng Mansion? Isn't this giving people a handle to poke Bochang in the back?
After struggling for a while, Mrs. Feng gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his lips and looked at Shen Jingzhen who was beaming with joy: "Then congratulations to Third Sister and Madam Feng for getting what they wished for."
