Chapter 143 Aunt Lan plays the emotional card
Shen Yunqiao was speechless. Although she knew she was in the wrong, the anger in her heart was still hard to calm down. However, she gritted her teeth, tried to suppress her inner emotions, picked up the pen again, and continued to copy.
But her movements became noticeably rougher, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances on paper.
Shen Yiran looked at Shen Yunqiao and felt secretly proud. She knew that after this incident, Shen Yunqiao and Aunt Lan would not have an easy life in the mansion.
After a long time, Shen Yunqiao finally finished copying the dowry book. She stood up suddenly, her face full of anger, and threw the pen on the table fiercely.
She glared at Shen Yiran and Shen Yunyu, "Hmph, I will not let this matter go today, just wait and see!" After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a back full of resentment.
Shen Yiran looked at Shen Yunqiao's departing back and sighed slightly in her heart. She knew that Shen Yunqiao's jealousy and resentment would not dissipate easily, but she would not be afraid either.
Shen Yiran stood up slowly, picked up the dowry book that Shen Yunqiao had copied, and gently blew on the ink stains on it. Her expression was leisurely and carried a hint of imperceptible pride.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and carefully read every word on the dowry book, as if she was appreciating a precious work of art. After a moment, she gently closed the dowry book, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
Just then, Aunt Lan came towards them with a stack of land deeds, her face gloomy and her steps heavy, obviously she was very reluctant.
When Shen Yiran saw Aunt Lan coming, her eyes instantly became sharp. She straightened her body, raised her chin slightly, and looked like she would never give in.
Shen Yunyu also stood aside, with a serious look on his face, his eyes fixed on the land deed in Aunt Lan's hand.
Aunt Lan walked up to the brother and sister, stopped, hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand and handed the deed to Shen Yiran. "This is the deed for the shop and the farm." Her voice was a little dry.
Shen Yiran did not reach out to take it immediately, but looked carefully at Aunt Lan's expression, as if trying to judge whether she had any other conspiracy.
Aunt Lan felt a little uncomfortable when Shen Yiran looked at her and turned her head away slightly.
"Aunt Lan, are you sure there are no problems with these deeds?" Shen Yiran asked coldly.
Aunt Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Of course there is no problem."
Shen Yiran then reached out to take the title deed, but she did not relax her vigilance. Instead, she carefully examined each one.
Aunt Lan looked at Shen Yiran's actions and was secretly angry, but she didn't dare to lose her temper.
"There seems to be something wrong with this deed." Shen Yiran said suddenly, pointing at one of the deeds, her eyes full of suspicion.
Aunt Lan panicked and said quickly, "It's impossible. I have sorted them out carefully."
Shen Yiran sneered, "Auntie Lan, do you think I'm so easy to fool? There's obviously something wrong with the date on this deed."
Aunt Lan's face became even uglier. She didn't expect Shen Yiran to be so careful. "This... This may be my mistake." She stammered.
"Mistaken? Aunt Lan, don't treat us as fools." Shen Yunyu glared at Aunt Lan, "You'd better check all the deeds carefully, there should be no problems."
Aunt Lan had no choice but to take back the deeds and examine them carefully. Her heart was filled with regret. She should not have tampered with the deeds earlier.
After some inspection, Aunt Lan finally confirmed that all the deeds were fine. She handed the deeds to Shen Yiran again, and this time her eyes were full of helplessness and frustration.
Shen Yiran took the deed and nodded slightly, her satisfaction evident in her words. She calmly looked at Aunt Lan and said slowly, "Aunt Lan, I hope you won't try these little tricks again in the future. Otherwise, we will definitely not be polite to you anymore."
After saying this, Shen Yiran's thoughts drifted back to the day she returned home, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of fear. Her eyes instantly became cold, piercing Aunt Lan like a sharp sword.
"Mrs. Lan, if you still want to live a peaceful life in the Shen Mansion, then you should behave yourself. Don't be so smart. On the day I returned home, you hired someone to kill my eldest brother. Do you really think we knew nothing about it?"
Shen Yiran's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air. She stared at Aunt Lan, not missing any slight changes in her expression. Her powerful aura made Aunt Lan tremble slightly unconsciously.
Aunt Lan's face turned pale, then she forced herself to calm down. A trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Miss, you really wronged me. I have always been cautious and prudent in the Shen Mansion. How could I do such a heinous thing as hiring someone to kill someone? It was that slut Lan'er who loved Young Master Mu and deliberately framed me." Aunt Lan raised her chin slightly and acted as if she was aggrieved.
Shen Yiran snorted coldly, "Auntie Lan, you still want to quibble even now. Father didn't send you to the government because he didn't want the family's shame to be exposed and to avoid being ridiculed by his colleagues."
"Whether you were the one who ordered this, we both know it very well. I'm going to say this now. If you dare to touch my eldest brother and Aunt Rong again in the future, I will make you regret living in this world."
At this moment, Shen Yiran's face was as cold as an ice sculpture, and there was no warmth on her delicate face. She raised her chin slightly, and her eyes shot straight at Aunt Lan like a sharp sword, with a bone-chilling coldness flashing in her eyes, as if it could freeze people in an instant.
Aunt Lan was frightened by Shen Yiran's eyes. She unconsciously took a step back, with an indescribable fear surged in her heart.
She knew that this ugly guy whom she once despised had now truly grown into someone that people dared not provoke easily.
Aunt Lan calmed herself down, suppressed the fear in her heart, and stammered, "Miss, you can't accuse me for no reason. I really didn't do those things."
Shen Yiran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. "Unfair? Aunt Lan, do you think we are all fools? We have seen everything you did in the mansion. You'd better remember what I said today."
After saying that, Shen Yiran no longer paid attention to Aunt Lan, turned to Shen Yunyu and said, "Brother, let's go." Shen Yunyu nodded and left with Shen Yiran.
As soon as they walked out of Aunt Lan's yard, Shen Yunyu asked, "Little sister, what should we do next?"
Shen Yiran hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go find Uncle Li first, don't let him wait anxiously."
As soon as he walked to the door, he happened to meet housekeeper Chen. Housekeeper Chen was slightly stunned, thinking to himself: This young master usually blushes when he sees a girl, why is he with this girl today? And this girl is so beautiful.
Butler Chen asked tentatively: "Master, who is this girl..."
Shen Yunyu smiled and responded: "Uncle Chen, she is my sister Ranran!"
"Oh my God, the young lady has changed so much!" Butler Chen's face was full of disbelief.
Shen Yunyu turned to Shen Yiran and said, "Sister, next time you have to ask everyone in the mansion to come and see your true face, otherwise you will have to explain to everyone you meet."
"Brother, you are teasing me." Shen Yiran glared at her brother mischievously, looking cute and adorable.
