Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 513: Rumors? Find someone to discredit her

Shen Wenting made such a fuss at the door yesterday that the next day, people in the capital were discussing it hotly. The news spread like wildfire, saying how filial Shen Wenting was and how he was a model of benevolence and filial piety in the capital. For the sake of his old mother, he ran to the gate of the Duke's Mansion and begged his daughter to return home to save the old lady. As a result, he was humiliated by his ex-wife Chen Shuhua and forced to apologize to them in public. He also spent a full 60,000 taels of silver before Miss Shen agreed to go back to treat her grandmother.

On the contrary, Yao Qingnian was abused by the common people, who said that she was disobedient and unfilial, arrogant, and did not care when her grandmother was sick. She also spoke ill of her own father in public, humiliated him in every way, and even asked for a huge medical fee.

Chen Shuhua was also implicated. It was said that she had abandoned her husband and children regardless of their years of love. Seeing that Shen Wenting had been reinstated as the Minister of State and was loving and affectionate with his new wife, she became extremely jealous. She sought reconciliation in private but failed, and she became resentful. She relied on the power of the Duke's Mansion to publicly accuse and abuse Shen Wenting. Lord Shen was forced to not resist due to the pressure, etc. The rumors were getting more and more outrageous...

"Miss, it's bad. People are spreading gossip about you and the Duke's Mansion. They say that you are disobedient and unfilial, and that the Duke's Mansion abuses its power to oppress others, etc. These are all words that are unfavorable to us." Shan Wei came back to report.

"Did they also say that Shen Wenting was filial and righteous?"

"How do you know, miss?"

"Their little trick is nothing more than finding a few people to discredit us. Let them spread the news if they want. The bigger the fuss now, the more embarrassed they will be. Let them be proud for a few days, and then we can settle all the old scores together."

"They are really despicable, using such despicable means. Miss, how about I go and deal with those people?" Shan Wei said disdainfully.

"Nothing, no rush." Yao Qingnian said calmly, drinking tea leisurely in the yard, not affected at all. However, after hearing about this, Duke Chen and others scolded the entire Shen family, and almost got angry and had an old illness. Fortunately, Madam Chen persuaded them.

In Prince Rui’s palace.

After Shen Youran was beaten with a stick and carried back to the palace, she lay in bed for several days, and Prince Rui did not come to see her. She had just had a miscarriage, and after being beaten with a stick, she really could not get out of bed even if she didn't pretend.

The news reached the ears of the empress dowager. She was furious and ordered Shen Youran to be confined to her house, stripped of her position as a concubine, and demoted to a concubine. She was not allowed to step out of the courtyard. This matter concerned the reputation of the royal family. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it could not be made a big deal. If it had not been for Shen Wenting's face, the empress dowager would have wanted to sentence her to death with a white silk ribbon. Prince Rui insisted on marrying such a shameless woman. She got pregnant before marriage, and it would be the first child in the Prince Rui's mansion. Unexpectedly, the child is gone now, and there are rumors that she had an affair with someone. It is simply a huge shame.

Shen Youran was so angry. It was all that bitch Yao Qingnian's fault. If it weren't for her, how could she have ended up like this? When she got better, she would definitely go and settle the score with her. And Pei Zongzheng, he actually dared to tell the affair between them in public. Fortunately, she was prepared, otherwise she would have died if she was exposed in public.

The most urgent task now is to meet King Rui as soon as possible and make him change his mind. But she is helpless now. How can she regain King Rui's love?

She was lying on the bed in great pain. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door. Shen Youran was delighted. Was the prince finally willing to come to see her? "Furong, is the prince here?"

"Oh, Concubine Shen, oh no, Aunt Shen, how did you get hurt like this? I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you specially."

"Mrs. Wu." Seeing that it was Mrs. Wu, her face darkened and she shouted outside, "Furong, where have you been?"

"Stop shouting, your maid is not here." Aunt Wu looked at her with a smile and walked in front of her.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at my joke?"

"Haha, so what? I didn't expect that Concubine Shen, who is so high and mighty, would end up in such an embarrassing situation. How could I not come and see such a good thing?"

"You and I have no grudges against each other. We are both serving the prince. Why do you want to take advantage of my misfortune?" Shen Youran looked at her angrily.

"I should be the one asking you this. We have no grudges against each other, so why do you keep trying to put the blame on me? Do you think I don't know about your plans? If I hadn't been vigilant, the charge of murdering the royal heir might have fallen on me!" Aunt Wu must have been able to stay in the mansion for so long, so she must be capable.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't!"

"No?" Aunt Wu stepped forward and slapped her in the face.

"You dare to hit me?" Shen Youran's face was full of disbelief.

"How about I beat you, you shameless bitch, you still dream of getting the prince's favor, it's a joke, I warn you, you'd better keep your tail between your legs in the mansion, don't provoke me, otherwise it will not be as simple as a slap in the face."

"I'm going to fight you." Shen Youran was furious and grabbed Aunt Wu's hair. The two of them wrestled with each other, but Shen Youran still had injuries on his face and was soon pinned to the ground by her.

"Haha, what can you use to fight me!" Aunt Wu stepped on Shen Youran's hand.

"Ah!" Shen Youran's wailing voice was heard in the room.

Then he slapped her hard on the face left and right, then left with satisfaction.

Shen Youran lay on the ground. The wounds on her body were even more painful after all this. She couldn't get up at all. She kept muttering, "Furong...Furong..."

But no one responded for a long time. Just when she was desperate, the door opened and a beam of light shone in. A hunched man walked in: "Second Miss Shen, you must be in a lot of pain now, right?"

"Who are you?" Shen Youran narrowed his eyes.

"I am someone who can help you. Do you want all those who bully you to die miserably?"

"Of course I do. Do you have any idea?"

"I have a way to make you get what you want, but you have to help me too, and we'll each get what we want." The old man said in his voice.

"How can I believe that what you said is true?!"

"Take this. From now on, King Rui will be inseparable from you and will believe everything you say." The man threw a black pill to her and asked her to swallow it.

Shen Youran took the pill, thought about his current situation, and swallowed it without hesitation.

"What do you want me to do for you? I can hardly protect myself in my current situation!"

"I need you to help me find someone."

"who?"

"A living person." The man chuckled.

Only then did Shen Youran see his face clearly. He looked extremely old, with a pair of lifeless eyes. He was a blind man.

"Ah!" She screamed and fainted...
