The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

466 The Best Actress (1)

“You definitely didn’t expect the Shen family to cause trouble again.” When the Shen family was mentioned, Bruiser still looked angry, but in the blink of an eye, he became happy. “I heard that this morning, the Shen family went to report another case. They said that you went to the Shen family last night and beat up Eldest Young Master Shen and Madam Shen. You even stole Madam Shen’s private property.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “That’s right. I did it.”

“Then guess what?” Bruiser kept her in suspense.

Hearing that the Shen family had reported Shen Yijia to the Imperial Capital, Madam Li put down her work and came over. She looked at Bruiser nervously.

Bruiser and Lin Shao looked at each other and smiled mysteriously.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes at them. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell me.”

Bruiser rubbed his forehead and chuckled. “The capital magistrate didn’t even accept the case. The court ordered the families to solve their own problems. Don’t even think about treating the court as a game.”

“Now, everyone is talking about how the Shen family has gone crazy trying to harm you. They’re even using the ruse of self-injury to gain sympathy,” Lin Shao continued.

Actually, the commoners’ analysis was more comprehensive. For example, how could a weak woman like Shen Yijia have the ability to hit someone in their residence? Were the Shen family’s guards useless?

Also, since she had already stolen money, wouldn’t it be better to steal from the big warehouse? Could it be that Madam Shen’s private room had more money than the big warehouse?

They had guessed correctly, but Madam Chen did not dare to say how much dowry she had when she got married. Others might not know, but it was recorded in the government ledgers.

This was originally to protect the dowry of the married woman from being invaded by her husband’s family, but now, it was an arrow that was aimed at her vitals.

Moreover, Madam Wang was on good terms with the Bulwark Duchess back then. If she had recently died, those shops that belonged to Madam Wang would definitely be transferred to her name, and it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Madam Chen did not go to the government to apply for the transfer document.

However, she changed the person in charge of the shop to herself.

Later on, the original host and the Bulwark Duke’s family were chased out of the capital, so there was even less need to do so.

Who would have thought that they would return?

In the end, it was a shady sum of money. How could she dare to say it?

Even the good-tempered Madam Li was furious when she heard this. However, when she thought about how it was Shen Yijia’s maternal family, she could not say, “You’re going too far.”

“Sister Jia, you…” Madam Li was afraid that Shen Yijia would feel uncomfortable, so she wanted to comfort her. However, when she turned around, she saw Shen Yijia grinning from ear to ear. Her eyelids twitched. “Sister Jia, did you really do it?”

Thinking about it carefully, it might really be something this girl dared to do.

Shen Yijia blinked, looking like she did not understand what he was talking about. She left with her hands behind her back, leaving behind an unfathomable back view.

Madam Li was speechless.

Bruiser chuckled. He had guessed it when he heard others discussing it. Other than her, no one else could do such a thing.

Unfortunately, after the fake case, no one believed what the Shen family said anymore.

Even if Shen Wenbo lifted the veil on his head for everyone to see, everyone would only sigh. The Shen family was so ruthless to themselves. No wonder they could do such a vicious thing to frame their siblings.

When Shen Wenbo heard everyone’s discussion, he was so angry that he almost died on the spot.

He wanted Lord Jing to make the decision, but he was told that Lord Jing was not in the residence.

He sought an audience with Consort Jing, but he didn’t get the answer he wanted.

“Eldest Young Master Shen, don’t make things difficult for me. The guards who let Consort Jing out of the residence yesterday are still lying in bed recuperating.”

What he did not say was that the guards had only been punished. All the servants in the princess consort’s courtyard had been sold, including the princess consort’s personal maidservant, Lian’er.

The princess consort’s power to manage the family had been snatched away. If not for the fact that she was pregnant, Lord Jing would probably have gone to the palace to invite his wife to be demoted to a concubine today.

However, on account of Minister Chen, even if she was demoted, she would only be demoted to a secondary consort.

“Hey, isn’t this Big Brother? What a coincidence.”

Hearing this voice that made him grit his teeth in hatred, Shen Wenbo suddenly turned around.

Shen Yijia blinked and jumped out of the carriage. She walked to Shen Wenbo’s side and looked around. “Big Brother, why did you learn to wear a veil like a woman? What’s wrong?”

“Shen Yijia!” Shen Wenbo gritted his teeth and shouted this name. He clenched his fists tightly.

“Huh? Why aren’t you calling me Second Sister anymore? I’ll be sad if you do that.” Shen Yijia sniffed, looking aggrieved.
