Chapter 143 The Jealous and Cruel Mrs. Kim
Chapter 143 The “jealous and cruel” Mrs. Kim
What would you do without me by your side?
These words were like a curse, echoing in Shen Luo's ears.
Until the moment she stepped into the Jin Mansion, the words that Xie Yunsheng said were still ringing in her ears.
She lived well without him, but with him, she knew how she should live!
"See His Highness the Crown Prince, see Lord Shen." Mrs. Jin heard the report from her servants that His Highness the Crown Prince and Shen Situ, the Secretary of the Beizhen Prefecture, had arrived, and she quickly brought the servants of the mansion to greet them.
"Get up!" Xie Yunsheng walked into Jin Mansion directly.
Shen Luo was too lazy to chat with others and followed Xie Yunsheng into the Jin Mansion, trying to make others ignore her presence as much as possible.
The place where you enter is surrounded by deep flowing water, the inscriptions on the plaques of the palace are elegant, the writing is strong and powerful, and the place where you walk and sit shows the elegance of a scholar.
"Your Highness, Mr. Shen, why are you here today?" Mrs. Jin followed Xie Yunsheng and asked cautiously.
With that said, the eldest lady ordered the housekeeper behind her: "Go and call the master quickly. Tell him that His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Shen are here, and ask him to come back quickly."
Mrs. Jin's speech was particularly unpleasant, which made Xie Yunsheng and Shen Luo understand that Mr. Jin was probably staying in the outer room.
Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng and meant something: What kind of beauty does the head of the Jin family live in the outer room that makes him not get up even now?
Xie Yunsheng saw the ridicule in Shen Luo's eyes, shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Mrs. Jin, and asked: "I heard that there is a closed study in the Jin Mansion, please take me to see it."
Mrs. Jin is full of resentment towards Jin Dongjie. She also knows that there are secrets in that study. In the past, she would have kept these secrets without hesitation and maintained the dignity of the Jin family. But now her husband, who is nearly fifty years old, has raised an outside wife. , she became the joke of the whole town.
Rather than letting yourself become a joke, it would be better for your husband to be ruined and lose everything.
"My wife will lead the way for His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Shen." Mrs. Jin led the way for the two of them without hesitation.
After a while, Mrs. Jin took the two of them to a remote courtyard: "Your Highness, this is the former academy of Jin Mansion."
"I don't know what happened five years ago. The master suddenly went crazy and sealed the academy. He even sealed the houses around the academy, expanded the main courtyard to the front, and sealed all the courtyards behind the academy. "Mrs. Jin informed the two of them of all matters concerning the closure of the academy.
After saying that, Mrs. Jin turned around and came to Xie Yunsheng and Shen Luo, knelt down and asked: "Although I don't know what the two adults are here for today, I can guarantee it with my head. What Jin Dongjie did I don’t know anything about this matter, please Sir Shen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take a closer look.”
Xie Yunsheng waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to pry open the study door.
Zhang Kang immediately led people to remove the door panel, while Zhang Liao stayed by Xie Yunsheng's side to guard Xie Yunsheng.
Shen Luo and Zhang Kang dismantled the study door, looked down at Mrs. Jin again, and asked: "Why do you think your husband has committed something wrong?"
Mrs. Jin raised her eyes and looked at Shen Luo, and said softly: "If Jin Dongjie had not committed any crime, why would the two of you come to investigate an academy that had been abandoned for five years? Although my wife is only a woman, she is still the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. , if these cannot be distinguished, then my wife is not qualified to be the mistress."
"Husband and wife are one, why are you so excited, even leading the way for us, hoping that we would find out something?" Shen Luo looked at Mrs. Jin, and suddenly felt that this tough woman was quite lovable. At least she had foresight and courage.
Mrs. Jin sneered: "My wife married into the Jin family at the age of seventeen. Over the past twenty-five years, she has worked conscientiously and abided by her duties. For the honor of the eldest family member of the Jin family, she even suppressed the second and third family members at the expense of her own reputation, just to let him stay. Give him a virtuous name."
After saying that, Mrs. Jin looked at Shen Luo: "But what did I get in exchange for this?"
"My wife is facing betrayal. I found out that he had an outside wife and gave birth to a son." Mrs. Wang laughed coldly: "It's a joke, it's a big joke. My dignified Liu family's legitimate daughter married... It is a great grievance for my husband's family to fail to gain respect from her husband."
"He never took me to heart, so why should I take him to heart." Mrs. Jin knelt down with a sneer in her eyes: "I wish I could be ruined! Anyway, I already have enough money to spend the rest of my life."
Mrs. Jin’s words shocked everyone. Many people felt that Mrs. Jin was too cool!
But Shen Luo appreciated it greatly: "I admire Mrs. Jin's words very much."
"Husband and wife are one body and can achieve mutual success. If the husband is unfaithful, there is really no use keeping him." Shen Luo replied lightly and stood behind Mrs. Jin.
Xie Yunsheng nodded slightly, and then said softly: "Master Shen is right. Since husband and wife are one body, what's the use of staying together if they are unfaithful?"
Mrs. Jin did not expect that Shen Luo and Xie Yunsheng would understand her so well. She immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is considerate."
She knew that if she did this, she would be ridiculed by the world, but she did not expect that Mr. Shen would say a fair word for her.
"You get up first!" Shen Luo bent down and helped Mrs. Jin up.
The eldest lady of the Jin family has worked hard to support the Jin family for many years, and she has taken on everything by herself. Now Shen Luo's move made the eldest lady of the Jin family have suffered years of grievances and turned into tears, and she suddenly said: "Thank you, Lord Shen."
"Your Highness, the door has been opened." After Zhang Kang opened the door, he immediately came to report.
Xie Yunsheng and Shen Luo looked at each other before stepping into the study.
Shen Luo took Xie Yunsheng's arm and stopped him from moving forward: "The study has been dusty for a long time. The room must be full of dust. Cover your mouth and nose before entering the room."
After saying that, Shen Luo glanced at Zhang Kang and warned: "Everyone who goes in must cover their mouths and noses to avoid being choked by the dust."
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, sir." Zhang Kang immediately thanked Shen Luo for his brothers.
Finally, everyone found a towel and covered their mouths and noses before entering the study.
The study room has been vacant for a long time. There is dust everywhere on the bookshelves, bookcases, floor, and window sills. There are a few empty scrolls scattered on the bookshelf, and the fine pens, inks, papers, and inkstones are slightly scattered on the desk.
Shen Luo looked at the empty study room and looked around, trying to find any clues or hidden secret doors.
"I'm here to see His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Shen. I wonder why His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Shen are here?" Jin Jindong, wearing casual clothes, stepped into the study and knelt down in front of the two of them to salute.
After finishing his words, Jin Jindong looked at Shen Luo and Xie Yunsheng and asked, "Both of you are nobles. This study has been abandoned for a long time and is full of dust. Please move to the hall to drink tea and discuss business."
Looking at Jin Jindong who was eager to deceive himself and Xie Yunsheng out of the study, Shen Luo bluntly stated the purpose of his visit: "I came here just for this study, how could I leave so easily."
