Chapter 35 Part 1: Heir

Jiang Li took Tong’er and brushed past the Shen mother and daughter.

Her face still carried the same smiling expression as just now, as if it had turned into a natural mask. Yet with a careful look, the arc of the smile was somewhat cold.

As expected, Shen Ruyun and Mother Shen had come.

She went to the capital after she married Shen Yurong. Mother Shen was not a mother-in-law that was easy to get along with. Shen Ruyun was even more willful and selfish. Xue Huaiyuan loved his daughter dearly and used up what he had to give her a lot of dowries. Those dowries were used to subsidize the Shen family. In addition, her clothes and jewelry were taken by Shen Ruyun saying that she was fond of them.

She’s not a saint. She’s also someone who was doted on and held dearly in the palm in the Xue family. Shen Ruyun and mother Shen made her annoyed, she also revealed her dissatisfaction.

At these times, Shen Yu Rong would timely stand up and say how the widowed mother and younger sister raised him up from a young age to adulthood. The accomplishment he achieved today was entirely from their contribution and he asked Xue Fang Fei to treat them better. Xue Fang Fei’s heart was good after all, thinking it wasn’t easy for the two weak women to take care of Shen Yu Rong, she tried to endure as much as possible.

However, being tolerant wasn’t returned with the same respect. In her final six months, mother Shen and Shen Ruyun had never come to console her. Sometimes they even stood outside the door, chatting with a volume that she could hear. Asking why she hadn’t died yet after creating such a scandal and implicating their Shen family.

If Xue Fang Fei’s heart wasn’t tough, she’d probably be unable to endure and committed suicide to prove her innocence.

“Miss?” Tong’er sensed the mood of the person beside her was amiss and called out softly.

Jiang Li came out of her reverie and smiled: “I’m fine.” Yet she was thinking, there’s no way that mother Shen and Shen Ruyun had no inkling of Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning’s affair. Princess Yongning could enter the Shen family house as if entering an unmanned place, clearly she was familiar with the people in the Shen family.

In accordance to the Shen family’s character of taking advantage of the situation, the blue-blooded imperial princess was indeed much more profitable than a minor official’s daughter. Today she also saw with her own eyes mother Shen and Shen Ruyun’s clothing and jewelry. Judging by Shen Yurong’s official salary alone, afraid it would be barely enough to buy those.

This ought to be Princess Yongning’s “kindness”.

Jiang Li thought and felt in her heart that the Shen family was lamentable and pitiful. It’s true that Princess Yongning was noble, but without changing the color of her face, she was able to kill the wife and terminate the heir. How could she get along with others? The Shen family members only saw the benefit in front of them, not realizing that the days spent crying would come later.

She’s happy to watch the play.

historical

Shen family members, Shen Yurong, Princess Yongning, were the murderers that killed her family and ruined her. This debt, she would make them pay back bit by bit.

The two people walked back to Fragrant Courtyard. Even though today Jiang Li was proven innocent during Jiang You Yao’s birthday ceremony, she still appeared to be the neglected daughter of the Jiang family. Her movements weren’t noticed by anyone.
