Chapter 935 Retribution comes quickly (second update)
The current fate of the Shen family is inseparable from Su Yueling's plan.
Things went more smoothly than she imagined.
When Mrs. Guo got married, the Guo family was still in a state of raging fire. Her dowry was quite generous, with a red dowry of ten miles. Otherwise, Mrs. Shen at that time would not have given the pregnant Aunt Ke just to please the Guo family. After drinking the decoction for miscarriage, Aunt Ke did not dare to blame Mrs. Shen, and was reluctant to blame Shen Congyu. Instead, she hated the innocent Mrs. Guo because of this incident.
When the Ministry of Household Affairs took out the Guo family's long list of dowry and moved away the things, there was basically nothing valuable left in the Shen family. They even had to find a new house within three days, which also belonged to the Guo family. The dowry will naturally belong to the court.
Of course, Su Yueling gave a special note to the emperor, saying that Guo's daughter was still alive in Yaozhou. She was willing to buy the house and leave it to Shen Jingzhu to think about.
The emperor waved his hand and directly gave the house to Su Yueling in the name of a reward. Su Yueling would definitely give the house to her anyway, so that the outside world would not notice Shen Jingzhu.
With the current situation of the Shen family, it is natural that they cannot afford to provide for so many servants. At this time, the three girls of the Shen family stepped forward and returned the deeds of sale to those servants, and gave each servant two taels of silver as severance pay. More The Shen family can't get out the money.
Su Yuecheng said with emotion: "This third girl of the Shen family actually stands out at this time. She is indeed a bit quick-witted."
Shen Congyu was arrested and his fame and honor were gone. He will probably stay in the cell for a while before being released. Mrs. Shen was so angry that she became ill. The only person in the Shen family who can make the decision now is the thirteen-year-old Shen Jingchen. A concubine is born, and her children are all young brothers and sisters. If the Shen family sells their servants in order to raise money, it will easily make the servants do nothing and have bad thoughts.
She dismissed the servants and gave them severance pay. She did it with utmost kindness and justice. The servants had a way out and were naturally grateful to her, so they would not take risks and harm the master's family.
If it were Mrs. Shen, with her short-sightedness, she might not be able to do as well as her granddaughter.
Although Su Yueling hated Shen Jingying, she did not hate the other concubines of the Shen family. They could not choose their own origins and had never harmed others. They were also pitiful people.
So she ordered, "Look after the girls of the Shen family and don't let them be bullied during this period."
If the protection is not enough, there will be bold and evil servants who will bully the weak Shen family and their young age.
Facts have proved that Su Yueling is very foresight. When the stewards of the Shen family's outer courtyard left, they thought of knocking out several girls from the Shen family and taking them away. The girls from the Shen family were all good-looking, and the younger ones Even if those few have not yet bloomed, it can still be seen that they are beautiful embryos. Whether they are sold to a building or to someone as a concubine, they can be sold at a high price.
Because of Su Yueling's whim, the girls in the Shen family were fine. The steward, his two sons and his wife were also sent to the Yamen.
"But his little son ran very fast, so we couldn't catch him by then."
Su Yueling said: "Then continue arresting people like this. I'm afraid they won't give up if they are left outside."
This time the other party was prevented from committing a crime. If there was a chance, he would definitely sell people again.
Pearl paused and continued: "That man took Shen Jingying away from the woodshed."
Su Yueling was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect this development, but it was also expected. Shen Jingchen and the Shen girls have been staying together for the past few days, and there are servants around them. If the manager wants to sell them, he will naturally have to spend more money. Thoughts. But Shen Jingying was different. She was imprisoned in the firewood shed. She was beaten twenty times and starved for a day. At this time, the Shen family was in chaos. No one was looking after her and wanted to take her away. It's really too easy.
Shen Jingying and her biological mother, Aunt Ke, deliberately tried to harm Shen Jingzhu. Even though her mother was tortured, she did not confess to Shen Jingying, so Shen Jingying did not go to jail. As a result, she escaped jail, but she did not escape being executed. The consequences of selling people.
She blinked and said, "Grind the ink for me."
She plans to write down the situation of the Shen family and send it back to Yaozhou. The fate of her enemy at this time should be somewhat comforting to Shen Jingzhu.
…
Shen Jingying's charming face was filled with tears as she was taken away. She cried heartily, "Please let me go back. I know that there is a village under my aunt's name that contains a lot of gold and silver. I can take all of it." for you."
Wang Fu, the son of the housekeeper who was sitting next to her, stretched out his hand to touch her tofu-like skin and sneered, "I'm not a fool. How could I go back? If I go back now, I don't know what's waiting for me. I don't want to die."
He guessed something was wrong before his parents and brothers arrived, so he made a prompt decision and left first.
Anyway, if Shen Jingying's appearance is sold, the money he gets will be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Shen Jingying wanted to avoid his touch, but she had been hungry for two days and her hands and feet were weak. She could only endure the disgusting hands touching and wandering around her body, and her heart was overwhelmed by despair.
Before she grew up, she never imagined that she would become a commodity for others to pick on, and be touched by lowly servants whom she looked down upon.
At this time, the conversation she had with her aunt could not help but come to mind.
At that time, she talked about her sister-in-law Shen Jingzhu's affairs with a look of disdain on her face. She felt that she was born despicable, but she didn't take the initiative to commit suicide to preserve her innocence when that happened.
However, when she faced the same situation, she bit the back of her tongue but couldn't bite it off.
She closed her eyes and tears continued to flow from the corners of her eyes.
She still wants to live and doesn't want to die.
Shen Jingying, who didn't believe in retribution before, now finally believes that there is such a thing.
But it was too late, she was overwhelmed by regret and despair.
Wang Fu took advantage of her a lot, but failed to take the last step.
Shen Jingying knew very well that this was not because of the other party's conscience, but because a perfect woman would sell for a higher price than a ruined one.
What awaits her in the future will be endless torture.
…
When the Shen family's affairs were gradually replaced by other gossip in the capital, Su Yueling's letter finally arrived in Yaozhou and was delivered to Shen Jingzhu.
Shen Jingzhu, who had been immersed in reading official documents during this period, immediately took a bath and smoked incense before solemnly opening the letter.
This letter was specially written to her by Princess Wei, and it might have some teachings for her.
When she saw clearly what was written on it, Shen Jingzhu was stunned.
Aunt Ke was cut in half, her father was stripped of his honor, her grandmother was made sick, and most of the Shen family's assets were used to offset her mother's dowry. Not only was Shen Jingying's reputation ruined, she was also abducted by the housekeeper's son, and her whereabouts are unknown. For Shen Jingzhu didn't care about the confiscation of her mother's dowry.
She held the letter in her hand, looking a little confused.
She clearly didn't do anything, so why did the Shen family collapse?
