Chapter 509: Shen Mingxuan can actually endure this hardship?
Shen Wantang turned to look at her: "Huh? Could it be that he really messed around?"
"Yes! Uncle Liao had just settled down when he started drinking with a playboy on the street. He even stayed at the man's house last night and didn't come back all night! This morning, the man's wife scolded Uncle Liao out, and many people went to watch the fun!"
Shen Wantang was stunned. Has Liao Youhe become like this?
In his previous life, he was very restrained in love affairs and seemed to have rarely done anything promiscuous!
Was it because he hid it well? Or was it because he was afraid of her anger, so he didn't dare to be too absurd? Or was it because he had entered the officialdom and was very careful about that kind of thing?
In this life, his reputation as a homosexual has spread, and he seems to have given up and has nothing to worry about.
No wonder he failed the imperial examination in this life. At this rate, he will probably fail the next imperial examination as well.
Thinking of Liao Youhe's glory in his previous life, Shen Wantang felt a little sad. If he knew that his fate changed because of his wife, would he beat his chest and stamp his feet?
However, this thought was fleeting, and Shen Wantang asked Du Juan again: "Does Liao Youhe's mother know that he went out to have an affair?"
"I know, but Zhen insisted that her son was just learning from that playboy, and that they wrote poems all night long! Someone laughed at her, saying that her son was a man and didn't like women, and she scolded them severely."
Shen Wantang laughed: "It's really lively, it's a pity that I can't go and see it with my own eyes, but I can ask Shen Mingxuan to go and see it for me. She knows where Liao Youhe lives, why didn't she go to find him?"
"The eldest lady wanted to go, but unfortunately she was locked up by the Madam. Four maids were guarding her, and there were also guards watching the gate, not letting her go out."
"Then help her and let her go out to find Liao Youhe. It's not good to lock her up at home. Don't let her get suffocated."
"Yes, I understand. I will tell our people right away!"
Just as Du Juan was about to leave, Shen Wantang said, "Wait, find another matchmaker. When Shen Mingxuan goes to find Liao Youhe, have her come to propose marriage and say that someone saw Liao Youhe's face and thought he would be rich and powerful, and they want to marry him."
"Yes!"
Dujuan responded and turned to go out.
Qin Xin couldn't help but admire: "This move by the Crown Prince's Consort is brilliant. I'm afraid Miss Shen will be even more unwilling to let go. Even if she begs on her knees, she will beg Mr. Liao to return to the Shen family."
Shen Wantang smiled and said, "It's not a brilliant trick, but it's enough to deal with Shen Mingxuan. It doesn't matter if she likes to laugh at me. I will make her life miserable."
-
A few days later, Du Juan excitedly reported to Shen Wantang: "Prince's Consort, guess what?"
Shen Wantang had a ruddy complexion and was full of energy these days. When she heard Du Juan's tone, she asked with interest, "What happened? Is there trouble in the Shen family again?"
"Yes! In order to persuade Master Liao to change his mind, the eldest lady has moved to Yongxiangfang. She serves her mother-in-law Zhen every day and also takes care of Master Liao's four brothers and sisters! When the lady found out, she fainted from anger!"
Shen Wantang was surprised: "Shen Mingxuan can actually endure this hardship? She is willing to live in Yongxiangfang, such a messy and shabby place?"
Yongxiangfang is not even as good as Liao Youhe's hometown house. Although the house is also dilapidated, the neighbors are relatively kind and simple, and there are very few cases of robbery.
However, Yongxiangfang was full of rampant thieves and criminals, and there were also many prisoners who had been released from prison living there all year round.
Even the detectives from the capital city were reluctant to set foot in that kind of place, because the desperate criminals inside might suddenly attack and hurt people at any time, making it difficult to guard against.
Besides, there are few good people living there, so the government doesn’t take it seriously when people are killed or injured on weekdays. They just regard it as getting rid of harm for the people.
As time went on, the chaos over there became more and more lawless.
Shen Mingxuan actually moved into Yongxiangfang for Liao Youhe. Was she willing to sacrifice her life for the illusory wealth and glory in the future?
Du Juan also felt that Shen Mingxuan was working too hard this time: "Not only that, the eldest lady now serves her mother-in-law Zhen every day, and also takes care of Liao's four brothers and sisters, making clothes and washing clothes for them. She has also started cooking. She is more virtuous than anyone else! It's like she has become a different person, incredible!"
Shen Wantang shook her head: "It seems that she is really crazy. She doesn't think that this can make Liao Youhe change his mind, right?"
Du Juan was stunned: "Ah? Can't I? The eldest lady is now acting like a good wife, and Mr. Liao seems to be treating her better."
"It's useless. Firstly, Shen Mingxuan won't be able to pretend to be a virtuous wife for too long. Secondly, Liao Youhe doesn't want such a virtuous wife."
In this world, the strong are respected.
Doing laundry, cooking, serving the mother-in-law, and taking care of the sister-in-law and brother-in-law, these are not things that the strong do, but things that only the lower-level people do.
Although it is very hard for the lower-level people to do these things, they will not get respect from the higher-level people. The higher-level people will only think that these are the little things you should do.
When Shen Wantang married Liao Youhe, she never did these hard chores. She left them to the maids and his younger brothers and sisters. She only needed to give orders.
She has more important values and abilities that no one can replace.
It was because of her help that Liao Youhe was able to rise so quickly. He knew that she was a strong person, so he consciously put himself in the position of a subordinate, respecting her everywhere and protecting her everywhere.
Liao Youhe was ambitious to make great achievements in his official career, otherwise he would not have studied so hard. However, his ability did not match his ambition, so he needed someone to help him gain a foothold in the capital.
Shen Mingxuan could only do his laundry and cook for him, but could not provide him with any help in his career.
Although Liao Youhe treats her better now, when he comes to his senses, he will still think she is useless and will divorce her in order to find a noble lady who can really help him.
Shen Wantang thought for a moment and laughed again: "However, it is a good thing that Shen Mingxuan is willing to move to Yongxiangfang. It is finally her turn to suffer. Zhen's mother-in-law is enough to make her suffer."
Before the two sisters got married, she wanted to see Shen Mingxuan suffer in the Liao family, but she didn't expect that she would simply stop living in the Liao family and move back to the Shen family.
Shen Wantang secretly felt sorry at the time. It was so unfair. She had lived in the Liao family's shabby house for a long time!
She learned all kinds of skills from her mother-in-law, but Shen Mingxuan only learned a few moves and then ran back home and stopped living with her mother-in-law!
Now, Shen Mingxuan has finally made up for all the hardships she had to endure!
Shen Wantang was happy. She didn't let Du Juan send her own people to keep an eye on it. Because the report was not detailed enough, she directly called Qin Xin over: "Qin Xin, find someone to keep an eye on Yongxiangfang and report to me if there is anything going on. I'm bored recently. I want to listen to some fun to relieve my boredom!"
Qin Xin and Du Juan looked at each other and knew that their master was curious. She smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Princess. With this servant here, you won't miss a single moment of fun!"
