621 A Farce (2)

When Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Wan wanted to stop Old Madam Shen, it was too late. Old Madam Shen always had this thought that she was better than everyone else and everyone had to curry favor with her. In fact, Old Madam Shen did not think highly of the Wang family and wanted Shen Yue to marry a better husband. However, in fact, the status and connections of the Wang family in the imperial court were far higher than what Shen Wan had now. Without the permission of the Wang family, how could this dark-skinned woman dare to speak to the Shen family like this? If Old Madam Shen scolded this dark-skinned woman, it was equivalent to her scolding the Wang family. The Wang family would only think that the Shen family was ignorant and was looking down on them.

When the dark-skinned woman heard this, she laughed. However, that laughter was especially ear-piercing to Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Wan. She asked in confusion, “Old Madam, what do you mean by the bride is swapped? Our young madam is sensible and considerate, and everyone in the mansion likes her. Are you joking with me?”

When Concubine Wan heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt happy. Her daughter was extremely smart, and her personality and appearance were top-notch. If she could win Wang Bi’s heart in a night, with Wang Bi protecting her, she would be safe.

When Chen Ruoqiu heard this, she was almost driven crazy with anger. At this moment, she couldn’t care less about her persona and said to the dark-skinned woman, “What exactly does the Wang family mean? If they are angry, just say it. Why are they putting up such a show? Do they really want to treat Shen Dongling as my daughter?”

Shen Wan frowned slightly and looked at Chen Ruoqiu in surprise. Chen Ruoqiu’s attitude was no better than Old Madam Shen’s. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Shen Wan did not want to offend the Wang family, especially since the Shen family was the one who was at fault.

The dark-skinned woman turned to Chen Ruoqiu and said, “Third Madam Shen, you are confusing me. Yesterday, when Eldest Young Master got married, he married the second miss of the Shen family. Everyone in the mansion likes her.”

Chen Ruoqiu was stunned on the spot.

What she meant was that the Wang family knew that the bride was swapped, but they wanted to let Shen Dongling live there as Shen Yue. What kind of nonsense was that?! Chen Ruoqiu was about to go crazy!

On the other hand, Shen Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. All she wanted was for Shen Dongling to marry into the Wang family in her place, and then she would turn herself into the victim. In the end, Shen Dongling would be blamed, and Wang Bi would be made a laughing stock. She, Shen Yue, would still be a free person, and she might be able to gain sympathy from people.

Although Shen Yue was not satisfied that the Wang family did not make a fuss and did not make Shen Dongling suffer, she was still happy that she could get rid of this marriage completely.

Shen Wan frowned. This dark-skinned woman’s attitude clearly represented the Wang family’s attitude. If the Wang family wanted Shen Dongling to live as Shen Yue, then what about Shen Yue? The Wang family was not an unreasonable bunch. Could it be that Shen Dongling said something to Wang Bi?

Chen Ruoqiu sneered and said, “Alright, as you said, the one who married into the Wang family is Second Miss. I’m Second Miss’s mother. Why are you bringing Concubine Wan over for no reason? Don’t you think it’s a little ridiculous?”

Concubine Wan looked at the woman in fear. The woman smiled and said, “It’s like this. Young Madam said that although Concubine Wan is not her biological mother, she has always been very close to her. Now that she has just married and moved to a new place, she’s not used to it, so she wanted Concubine Wan to go over to keep her company for a while. Eldest Young Master dotes on his wife, so he agreed.”
