The housekeeper shook his head in horror: "No...it wasn't me, I didn't throw it away!"
Xiao Lingyue said: "Who is it?"
She raised the edge of her sword and pointed it at the butler's nose, her expression so cold that there was no wavering: "I'll kill you if you don't tell me."
The housekeeper almost went crazy with fright: "I said! I said! It was the master's order, and Aunt Li led someone to throw it away! I don't know who it is, you go ask Aunt Li!"
Because of fear, he spoke faster and sweat rolled down his face.
My mother!
This third lady is too scary.
If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have listened to the master and just left this offending job to others!
The housekeeper felt regretful and looked at the tip of the sword so close in front of him that he was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe.
Xiao Lingyue said: "Where is Shen Zhijiang?" She didn't even bother to call her father politely.
The housekeeper stammered: "In...in Aunt Hua's yard..."
Xiao Lingyue sneered: "I'll wait for him in the main hall. Call him. If he doesn't come, don't blame me for smashing his Shen Mansion. Get out!"
The housekeeper rolled and crawled away.
Beibei walked in from outside the gate and asked, "Mother is going to fall out with the Shen family?"
With things like this, there is obviously no room for relaxation, only a complete rift.
Xiao Lingyue said: "The Shen family is unkind, so there is no need to make excuses with them. It's a good time to clear up the relationship now to avoid trouble in the future."
As Xiao Lingyue said this, she led Beibei into the main hall.
The maids and servants along the way had long heard the noise and disappeared without a trace.
No one dared to stop mother and son.
Beibei asked doubtfully: "What does mother mean?" He was a little confused.
Xiao Lingyue explained patiently: "The Shen family is already a broken ship that is about to sink. When His Majesty's decree to seize the title comes, the Shen family will have no one to rely on except an old marquis.
Shen Zhijiang was mediocre and incompetent, and he had no promising heirs.
It's only a matter of time before the family falls.
The old Marquis must also know very well that if he were still conscious, he would not agree to let Shen Zhijiang expel me from the house, but would try every means to capture me and make me used by the Shen family.
This is a big trouble for us that we cannot get rid of.”
Beibei immediately understood: "So, my mother is going to take advantage of the old Marquis to get the jade bracelet for the engagement with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion while the old Marquis is still awake, and then cut off the relationship with the Shen family, so that the old Marquis has nothing to do Are you using my mother again?"
"Well, Beibei is so smart." Xiao Lingyue touched his head and smiled sarcastically, "Unfortunately, the old Marquis was too shrewd and calculating, but his only son Shen Zhijiang was extremely stupid. We just used him to escape."
Shen Zhijiang's attempt to shut her out gave Xiao Lingyue an inspiration.
She almost forgot that she was now "married".
The water thrown out by the married daughter.
Shen Zhijiang could use this to prevent her from returning to her natal family, and Xiao Lingyue could also use this excuse to sever ties with her natal family.
From now on, whether the Shen family is dead or alive, completely collapsed or making a comeback, it has nothing to do with her.
Beibei asked: "Mother, where will we go after leaving the Shen family?"
Xiao Lingyue smiled: "There are many inns in the capital. Let's make do with it for a few days. When His Majesty's decree comes down, we will have our own palace." Hot 『』
