Chen Shaokang left his mother's room, and before he knew it, he came to Tingfeng Courtyard.
When he saw Su Nianyun playing with the children in the yard, he had mixed emotions.
Thinking that Qin Wan wanted to reconcile with him, and thinking that his aunt Cao said that all the family's property was in Su Nianyun's hands, he didn't know how to feel about facing this woman.
Moving closer to the courtyard, he could clearly see the woman inside.
After not seeing her for two months, she looks many times better than before.
This woman is like a flower in bloom, changing every day.
She was a bit more colorful and charming than all the women he had seen in Hualou.
At this time, the little girl guarding the door greeted him.
"Second Master, are you here to see the princess?"
Chen Shaokang nodded, "Let me inform you!"
The little girl immediately ran a few steps to Xia Yue's side.
Xia Yue looked at the door of the courtyard, then lowered her head and said something in Su Nianyun's ear.
Soon, Su Nianyun was coming.
Chen Shaokang bowed to her from afar, "Princess, I have many things to ask you. Is it convenient for you?"
Without Su Nianyun's consent, he did not dare to step into Tingfeng Courtyard. After all, even his eldest brother was not allowed to enter Tingfeng Courtyard casually.
Su Nianyun nodded, "Second Master, if you have anything to say, just come in and say it."
Chen Shaokang then walked in slowly.
Xia Yue poured hot tea for him and placed it on the stone table, and the two of them faced each other.
"Second Master, shouldn't you be studying hard in the academy at this time? Why are you back home now?"
Chen Shaokang said, "Princess, you must know better than anyone why I came back, right?"
"I?"
Su Nianyun said in surprise, "Why do I know why the second master came back?"
"I am the wife of your eldest brother Chen Shaoan and your sister-in-law. The identity gap between us is insurmountable. How can I know so much about you?"
"Uh..." Chen Shaokang was stunned for a moment when he heard Su Nianyun speak so straightforwardly.
What stunned him was not Su Nianyun's words, but Su Nianyun's appearance.
After observing Su Nianyun's every move at such a close distance, Chen Shaokang couldn't help but start to feel dazed.
Su Nianyun noticed his gaffe, and Chunhua Xiayue behind her also noticed it. Both of them had faces that couldn't hide the sinister look on their faces.
This is his sister-in-law, and he actually put on that obsessed expression towards her
Su Nianyun endured the nausea in her heart and said, "Second Master, from the look of you, it seems that you have come to this palace to ask for a crime. Tell me, what is my crime?"
"Princess," Chen Shaokang then remembered his original purpose of coming here, "Princess, I heard that you bought all the shops under the name of the Chen family? Are you doing this on purpose?"
"Is this what Second Master came back from the academy for? If he came here to ask for an answer, then I would say, yes."
"Princess, do you know that because you sold the Chen family's shop, Qin Wan wants to reconcile with me, and I..."
"Second Master!"
Su Nianyun interrupted him, "Actually, it is natural to repay debts, but I am the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, how could I do such a thing of extermination?"
"There is a reason why I did this..." Su Nianyun looked at Chen Shaokang, "Second Master, do you want to hear my reason?"
"Princess, please speak."
No one doesn't like to hear the soft words of a beautiful woman.
Su Nianyun said, "I wonder if the second master knows that this is the first time the old lady has borrowed money from me?"
Chen Shaokang had also been with his mother before, and he also knew about the old lady's betrayal of Zhuangzi.
However, in front of Su Nianyun, he pretended not to know.
"I don't know. Princess, please tell me!"
Su Nianyun nodded, "Three times, exactly three times."
"Originally, after all, I am the daughter-in-law, so I wanted to save some face for the old lady.
"But now, I have been misunderstood by the second master. I know that it will not be good for anyone to hide it like this, so I decided to have a good talk with the second master.
"Before, the old lady always borrowed 300,000 or 300,000 yuan. The old lady even borrowed 100,000 taels through the second lady."
"The second lady doesn't have so much money, and she doesn't dare to tell the Qin family, because the eldest lady of the Qin family is most disgusted by the Chen family for borrowing money.
"So she took the wrong approach and went to this palace to borrow money for the old lady..."
"It's a pity that no matter how much money you give to the old lady and she is allowed to mess around like this, only the money will disappear, and everything else will remain."
"I have also referred to the old lady's many recent performances and concluded that the old lady is not a business person by nature."
"I was afraid that the old lady would eventually destroy the Chen family, so I took away the shop in advance to pay off the debt, so that the old lady would have no money to take, and if she had no money in her hands, she would not cause trouble again...
"
After hearing what Su Nianyun said so eloquently, Chen Shaokang was convinced, "It turns out that the princess is only doing her mother's good. This really impressed me..."
After listening to Su Nianyun's words, combined with his trip to the Qin Mansion and his aunt's evaluation of his mother, he thought carefully that it was indeed his mother's lack of business talent that had ruined the family fortune.
There is a cause first and then there is an effect.
If my mother hadn't started doing business on a whim all day long, the Chen family would not have fallen into this state.
He couldn't help but think of the past when his father had just passed away, and the family was not in such a state of poverty. It seemed that it was all about his mother...
"So," Su Nianyun said, "in order to stop the old lady, I can only do this. Second Master, can you understand?"
Chen Shaokang nodded silently.
"As for the Second Madam's insistence on reconciliation, I think she probably thinks that you and she don't want to be borrowed money from the Old Madam anymore. After all, the Qin Family's Old Madam can tell at a glance that the Old Madam is a bottomless pit!"
At this point, Chen Shaokang has completely agreed with Su Nian's point of view.
All the mother's behaviors prove that she is not a good mother.
She not only ruined her dowry, she even blindly opened a shop and ruined the Chen family's property. The most important thing is that the three brothers only have this mansion.
How do you divide the three of them? He will definitely not be the top pick in the exam. He must think more than others think.
However, there is only such a small amount of things. After dividing them up, there is nothing left. Compared with before, they should not be too pitiful.
At this time, Chen Shaokang did not forget to look at Su Nianyun, and he was even more convinced of Su Nianyun's judgment.
"Princess, you are so kind to the Chen family. My eldest brother is really lucky to marry you!"
What he said was both sad and jealous.
In comparison, his wife is too preoccupied, and she is from the Qin family!
I went back at night and thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to listen to my mother's words. I wrote a letter of separation overnight and sent it to the Qin Mansion the next day.
