Chapter 129 Follow-up (2)
Qian was also stubborn at the beginning, saying things like how could one believe a child's words.
However, these people had just lost their house and everything in it. They were furious. How could they be swayed by Qian's few words?
And the stupidest thing Qian did was that she wanted to buy some houses, but didn't want to lose too much.
So, she moved out all the valuables in her house and put them aside. We are not blind. Her house was the first to catch fire, and she rescued more things than those from other people’s houses that caught fire later. Who would believe it!
Besides, other families had many people and were able to grab things very quickly, but in Qian's family, there was only her and her son who was studying and couldn't carry anything. How could they possibly move so many things?
Of course, that day, Qian's son went out. He took the money and went to have fun. Qian was the only one at home. She started moving things into the yard in the afternoon. She even moved out everything in the house.
After she lit the fire, she started to move things out. However, she was alone after all, otherwise she would have moved even more things.
In the end, Qian didn't keep her stubbornness for long, because those people wanted to report to the police. She set fire at will, which was a crime.
So, Qian started to get scared. When her son Jiang Lin came back in the morning, he saw a crowd of people gathered together. Only when he got closer did he hear his mother's voice. He pushed through the crowd and walked in, only to see his mother sitting alone crying.
At that moment, Jiang Lin even wished he didn't know this woman. It was so embarrassing.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked around. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Jiang Lin could only bite the bullet and move forward.
In short, in the end, it was Qian who asked someone to call Shen Hao over, and Shen Hao spent money to deal with the matter.
Shen Hao recalled what happened that day, and after hearing Shen An's words, his heart continued to sink. He couldn't touch the money at that time because of Qian's family, and he hadn't had time to deal with it. Now, if his third brother and mother knew about it, he would be finished.
“Who is it? Are you crazy?”
Yu simply couldn't imagine what kind of idiot could do such a thing.
"She must be the mistress of some powerful person who is hard to mess with. Otherwise, how could she give so much money so readily?"
Shen An agreed with his wife's words, nodded, and continued.
Old Mrs. Shen was different from everyone else at this time. She remembered something and roughly guessed who was the smart one who handled this matter. Her face looked very bad.
"Hmph~ I guess she's even worse than a concubine. If she was a concubine of some important person, why would they let her live in a house like that? Perhaps, a woman like that is not even qualified to be called a foxy woman. I really don't know what kind of idiot could do such a stupid thing and rush to be a victim."
Seeing Old Lady Shen staring at him, the sweat on Shen Hao's forehead kept dripping down.
"Yi girl, you said at the beginning that the princess talked to you about this matter. What did the princess say?"
Cheng Jinchu had been waiting for someone to ask her, and this was almost the end of the discussion on the matter.
"Oh, it's like this, the princess passed by there that morning and saw a lot of people gathered together, everyone was discussing the fire that happened in the evening.
The princess was kind-hearted and said she would help report the case to the police, but the victims all told her to stay away and not make things worse.
As you know, the princess usually wears clothes made of ordinary cloth when she goes out, because she has to go to the pharmacy to see patients.
Therefore, many people don’t know that it belongs to the princess. When the princess talked about this matter, she told me that she was very confused. It was obvious that it was like this, but they didn’t report it to the police to find out how the fire started. If someone set the fire, they would always get some compensation.
When everyone heard Cheng Jinchu's words, they found that they coincided with what Shen An had said before.
"My granddaughter brought up this matter today because when I came here today, I saw that Sister Ning didn't seem to sleep well. She had dark circles under her eyes."
Old Mrs. Shen noticed Shen Yuning's dark circles at the beginning, but she didn't have time to ask what happened.
"What does this have to do with that? I am becoming more and more confused as I listen to this story."
Yu couldn't help but ask. She hadn't heard the result of one story yet, and she didn't even know which idiot gave the money. Now another matter was brought up. Yu felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want to hear anything else. Just this one matter, everything had been said. It wouldn't be too much to give a result!
"Ning girl, when you came here I wanted to ask you, did you not sleep last night?"
Shen Yuning deliberately lowered her head, bit her lip, and said nothing.
Shen Hao's second daughter, Shen Wan, spoke up at this moment. Among her sisters, except Shen Yuning who lived a slightly better life, none of them could live a good life.
So, after this story came out, they actually guessed who this idiot was. Anyway, no matter how well Shen Hao lived, they wouldn't live well, so they might as well just be doomed.
"Grandmother, my father brought his good nephew to our house, and since he hoped that my third sister would marry him in the future, he arranged for him to live in my younger brother's yard.
He read poems all night last night, which kept us awake, so my sister asked to go to the yard and talk to him through the wall, which allowed us to sleep well, but my sister herself was not doing so well.
Shen Wan did it on purpose. She wanted to take the opportunity to tell people about Shen Yuning's affair with that scholar and ruin her reputation. Maybe her grandmother would marry her to that family to live a hard life.
Shen Yuning knew that Shen Wan was telling the truth, but what did she mean by voluntary? Wasn't she thrown out by them together?
So Shen Yuning stood by and sobbed.
"Grandma, my sister said it was too noisy and it was all my fault. That person liked me, so he stood over the wall and read poetry loudly in the middle of the night.
I, I really wouldn't meet him in private, but my sisters threw out my quilt and pillow, and my sister scolded me, saying it was all my fault, that I looked like a fox, so that person would read poems in the middle of the night and disturb them as soon as he entered the house. "
"Shen Yuning, you are talking nonsense. It was you who seduced someone else, and that person stayed up late at night and read love poems loudly, making a lot of noise!"
Shen Wan was furious and yelled at Shen Yuning. If it were usual, Shen Yuning would definitely talk back. Should she swallow her anger after being yelled at? But today, she lowered her head and cried in grievance.
"Sister, how can you say that? I have never seduced anyone. Usually, I stay in the mansion peacefully. What makes you say that I seduced that person? When did I seduce her?"
Normally, the young ladies of the Shen family were restricted from going out, unless their elders agreed. Shen Hao deliberately let Shen Yuning go to see Jiang Lin.
Will Shen Hao say it out loud? Of course not. If he wants to be beaten by his mother in front of the younger generation at such an old age, he can say it.
Now, if his affairs were to be combined with those of Jiang Lin and Shen Yuning, her mother would simply throw him out of the house.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I never asked Ning'er to marry that man. I will definitely discuss Ning'er's marriage with your grandmother before deciding. Have you learned to lie now? It's great. You fabricated things about your sister and tarnished her reputation. You are a sister, how can you treat your sister like this!"
Shen Hao stood up and yelled at Shen Wan. Old Mrs. Shen showed no expression. Today, she was completely disappointed with her eldest son.
"Shen Wan, Yuning is your biological sister. Are you trying to force her to marry that man by talking about her like this? Humph! You are such a good sister, but you are pushing your sister into the fire pit?
This is simply too vicious. Go home today and pack up your things. Send Zhuangzi up tomorrow. Come back when you repent! "
When Shen Wan heard Old Lady Shen's decision, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she sat down on the ground. She even forgot to cry. It was her sisters standing beside her who took her out.
