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

Chapter 511: Unfilial? Asking for help should be done with the attitude of asking for help

"Mom, I'll go. I'll go and ask her in person. Is that okay?" Shen Wenting had no choice but to agree to the old lady's request and go in person.

The old lady then calmed down and stopped making a fuss. She cooperated with them obediently and finished her meal.

After the old lady's side was stable, Shen Wenting left her courtyard. After careful consideration, he decided to go to the Duke's Mansion. He thought that if Yao Qingnian did not agree to come to see the old lady, he would find someone to make a scene at the door, letting everyone in the capital know that she was unfilial. How would the Duke's Mansion save face and how would she go out in the future.

When they arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Shen Wenting asked the servant to tell Yao Qingnian to come out and see him.

Yao Qingnian told the servant to wait at the door first. After waiting for more than half an hour, Shen Wenting was already impatient: "Did you tell Shen Nianran that I was here?"

"Master Shen, we have already told the young lady that she has something important to attend to and cannot come out for the time being. Please wait patiently."

"She's so arrogant that she made me wait here for so long!" Shen Wenting cursed, attracting many people to watch.

"Why is Lord Shen here at the gate of the Duke's Mansion?"

"Who knows? I've been cursing here for a long time."

"Ah? How can a dignified minister act like a woman?"

The onlookers were talking about it, and were all guessing the purpose of Shen Wenting running to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

After a long while, Yao Qingnian finally came out of the Duke's Mansion and said, "What are you doing? Can't you let me have a good sleep? I was having a sweet dream and you interrupted me."

"Is this the important matter you mentioned?" Shen Wenting glared at the gatekeeper. After all this time, Yao Qingnian was still sleeping.

"It's no big deal if our lady takes a nap. If we disturb her rest, we will be guilty of death." The servant was not afraid of him and replied righteously.

"Hey! Lord Shen, why are you here?" Yao Qingnian smiled secretly. This boy was quite good at talking.

"Hmph! It wasn't you who asked me to come here to beg you. Now you can come with me to treat your grandmother!" Shen Wenting flicked his sleeves.

"When you ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help. Those who know will say that Lord Shen came here to ask me for help, and those who don't know will think that I am asking you for help!" Yao Qingnian smiled contemptuously: "Also, you just mentioned my grandmother, may I ask where my grandmother came from? Are you a forgetful person and don't remember that you kicked me and my brother out of the house two days ago?!"

"Even if I expel you from the family, you still have the blood of my Shen family in your body! The old lady is also your grandmother. If you don't go to see her, you are unfilial!" Shen Wenting raised his voice and said in front of everyone.

"Shen Wenting! How can you be so shameless! You just kicked the person out, and then you come over and say that the person is unfilial. It seems that your Shen family is noble, so you say whatever they say! The engagement has been broken off, but you still want to smear the reputation of my daughter and the Duke's Mansion! Everyone is listening and watching! Have some shame!" Chen Shuhua's voice sounded, and she slowly walked out of the Duke's Mansion, and then continued.

"I'm telling you, stop threatening my daughter here! She has nothing to do with your Shen family now! You know now that she has your blood. Then when you broke off the relationship with her and Jinghong some time ago, did you ever think that they were your children?! Now you run to the door and bark a few words, and want her to go back, you are dreaming! Their names are now on the family tree of the Duke of Chen's Mansion. They are the young master and young lady of the Duke's Mansion. If you dare to establish a relationship with them again, don't blame me for being rude." When Chen Shuhua heard that Shen Wenting came to the door of the Duke's Mansion to find Yao Qingnian, she was worried that she would be bullied, so she followed him out. When she reached the door, she happened to hear what Shen Wenting said, and couldn't help but shout.

"Chen Shuhua! Husband and wife for a day are bound by a hundred days of grace. Although we have divorced, we were once a family after all. Why do you speak so harshly? Now the old lady is ill and only this girl can cure her. I came here to ask her to go back and see what's wrong with the old lady!" Shen Wenting said angrily.

"Stop it! That's harsh enough. Have you said anything even harsher? Do you want me to help you recall?" Chen Shuhua looked at him with amusement: "Also, if your mother is sick, go find a doctor. Why are you looking for my daughter? She is not a doctor. Even if she is a doctor, we won't treat you based on your begging attitude just now! Let's go! Let's go back." Chen Shuhua pulled Yao Qingnian and was about to leave.

"Stop! What do you want in exchange for going to see the old lady?" Shen Wenting saw that they were about to leave, so for the sake of the old lady, he had to lower his posture and asked.

Yao Qingnian patted Chen Shuhua's hand and motioned her to wait.

"It's not impossible for me to save Madam Shen. For the sake of our past relationship as father and daughter, apologize to me and my mother in public, and then give me 10,000 taels of silver as medical fee, not a cent less. And if I remember correctly, you haven't paid back the money you owed my mother last time, right? Pay it all off this time."

"Ten thousand taels? Who do you think you are?" Shen Wenting didn't expect that she would dare to ask for such a high price. He used the excuse that he didn't have that much money and paid half of it. He then kept delaying the payment of the rest. It was not that he didn't have the money, but that he didn't want to give it. With Yan Huan, it would be much easier to pay for the money.

"It's up to you whether you want to see it or not. The old lady's illness is not an ordinary one. It requires many precious medicinal materials, such as the Blood Spirit Gourd. You have heard of it, right? It's an extremely rare thing. It was once auctioned for a sky-high price of 200,000 taels in the ghost market. Compared with this 10,000 taels, you still got a bargain!" Yao Qingnian took out the Blood Spirit Gourd from the space and shook it in front of everyone. Although only half of it was left, it was enough for people to see clearly.

"Oh, it really is the Blood Spirit Jar!" said someone who knew the subject.

"I heard that Lord Shen is a famous filial son. Don't you think that Madam Shen's life is not worth ten thousand taels?" Yao Qingnian put away the herbs and looked at him coldly. The old lady's illness did not need these at all. She was just trying to slap him in the face.

The onlookers pointed and said, "Compared to Madam Shen's life, this ten thousand taels is really not much, and there are such precious medicinal herbs, this is simply a profit."

"You!" This wicked girl was really sharp-tongued. If he didn't agree, he would be unfilial. If he agreed, he would be taking advantage of this wicked girl. For a moment, he was in a dilemma and stood at the door awkwardly.

"Isn't it just ten thousand taels? We'll give it to you!" A voice sounded outside the crowd.

"Huan'er, why are you here?" Shen Wenting's eyes lit up. Yan Huan arrived just in time.

"My husband, the old lady has been asking to see the eldest lady. I have no choice but to come and see her." Yan Huan walked to his side and continued, "Just now the eldest lady said that she would go to see the old lady for only 10,000 taels of silver, right?"

"No, he also asked us to apologize, plus the money he owed my mother, a total of 60,000 taels."

"Okay! We agree!"

"Huan'er!" It's fine if you pay the money, but why did you also promise to apologize to them? Why?
