Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 404: Throwing the blame on Chen Shuhua

The old lady didn't expect that the people from the Duke's Mansion would not give them any face and scold them in front of so many people. Her old face turned red and she looked very embarrassed. She cursed in her heart: "Isn't it just that she divorced Wen Ting? Why are they so angry that they blocked them at the door? Why can't they talk it out nicely?" But thinking of the purpose of coming today, she still held back: "Go and tell Chen Shuhua that I have something to talk to her. After all, we are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Youran is going to get married soon. If she still cares about the past relationship, let us in! Otherwise, when Youran marries into the palace in the future, don't blame her for not recognizing her mother."

"Madam, our young lady has divorced Lord Shen. There is no connection between the two families. You have come to the wrong place. Please go back!" After saying that, he turned around and went into the mansion and closed the door, leaving the old lady and Shen Youran looking at each other with unsightly expressions.

The old lady turned around, her face full of sadness and helplessness, and said to everyone: "Today, I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone hear that Chen has been married into our Shen Mansion for many years, and the old woman has never treated her badly, let alone done things like other evil mothers-in-law who torture their daughters-in-law. When she gave birth to the eldest girl, because the master said that she was a disaster star, we reluctantly sent the child away. My son felt sorry for her and was forced to separate from the child, so he adopted You Ran from outside to comfort her.

Since then, she has been cold to my son and wouldn't let him in. But my son has been considerate of her and treated her consistently over the years. The backyard of the Shen Mansion has always been clean, with only her as the lady. For so many years, we in the Shen Mansion can say that we have done our best for her!"

After looking at today's situation, the old lady felt that she had almost lost face, so she simply threw all the blame onto Chen Shuhua. This way, when Wen Ting married or took concubines in the future, no one would point the finger at Wen Ting. She was the one who was unkind to the Shen family first, so no one could blame her.

For a while, everyone started to discuss it, especially the men, who felt that Shen Wenting was a man no matter what, and his wife was cold to him, and he didn't even have a warm bed. After so many years, he still had only one wife. If it were them, how many men could tolerate it? In this way, it was normal for him to have sex with the maid and the concubine in the mansion. At least he didn't take her back, which was considered to be keeping his original oath of never taking a concubine. In addition, the Shen family was not prosperous, with only one son, who became a fool. It was understandable that a son from a concubine came back to inherit the family business.

"If I were Lord Shen, I would have taken in a few beautiful ladies long ago, and wouldn't have bothered with her."

"Yes, I heard that Chen was one of the most beautiful women in the capital when she was young. Maybe it was because Lord Shen was deeply in love with her that he spoiled her to the point of lawlessness. In addition, she is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. How can a mere minister fight with her? Otherwise, after so many years, no man would be able to stand it! How can he be willing to let her control him?"

After hearing this, some women who originally supported Chen Shuhua now felt that she was going too far. They used to be envious, but she didn't cherish such a good man and pushed him away. No wonder he had to look for someone else outside. If it were their men, they would have divorced her long ago.

"If I could find a husband who doesn't take concubines, I would be willing to do anything for him, and I would be guaranteed to live a stable and happy life."

"I heard that Chen Shuhua encountered robbers that year. Fortunately, it was Lord Shen who saved her. At that time, her reputation was ruined, and the family that had originally engaged her to her cancelled the engagement. Later, Lord Shen overcame all difficulties and married her despite the rumors."

"Maybe he despises Lord Shen because he comes from a poor family and thinks he is not worthy of him?"

"It is said that the two of them were very affectionate in the beginning, how did it become like this today?"

"It may be related to Miss Shen. I heard that when she was born, the crows in the yard were reluctant to disperse for a long time, which attracted the master. At that time, he predicted her fate and said that she would be a disaster star, so he sent her to the countryside to be raised."

"Don't tell me, it seems to be true. Ever since Miss Shen came back, the Shen Mansion has not had a peaceful day. Not only has Young Master Shen become stupid, but Lord Shen has inexplicably been accused of stealing his things, and he was demoted, divorced, and so on."

"Hey, it's true."

After hearing what they said, everyone began to recall what had happened recently, and found that these things really happened after Miss Shen came back. The ancients were always superstitious, and after someone started this, everyone believed it without a doubt, thinking that Yao Qingnian was unlucky, and for a while the rumors in the capital were all about her.

Shen Youran and the old lady were delighted to see that the situation had turned to their side. They had originally thought that it would be enough to just make some noise, but they did not expect to gain something unexpected.

So the old lady struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Chen Shuhua originally wanted to divorce my son, but we didn't want to, so she asked Chen Laoguogong to come to our house and threaten him with his future. My son had no choice but to nod and agree to the divorce, but they didn't want to, and insisted on writing a divorce letter to divorce my son. In the end, Wen Ting had no choice but to sign his name on the divorce letter. Since ancient times, how could there be such a reason to divorce a husband?

It would have been fine if she divorced her husband, but since she was determined to leave our Shen family, we had nothing to say. After all, a forced melon is not sweet. But who would have thought that she would come back the next day to ask for a dowry, and when she left, she even ripped off the roof tiles, and all the valuables in the house were looted by the people she brought with her.

Now everyone knows that Our You Ran is a blessed person. She has won the favor of Prince Rui and will soon marry into Prince Rui's mansion as a concubine. However, the Shen Mansion has been plundered and we can't even afford a decent dowry. Even so, we didn't complain.

We have been mother and daughter for more than ten years. Now she is getting married. I just wanted to come and see her mother and grandparents, but I didn’t expect that she would not even let me in. The Duke’s Mansion is really well-educated. "

The old lady's words made Shen Youran look filial, but in fact she was telling everyone that all the things in the Shen Mansion had been taken away by Chen Shuhua, and they had no money to prepare the dowry. Even if they couldn't get the dowry today, when Youran got married, everyone would know the reason and would only scold Chen Shuhua for being cold-blooded and heartless instead of saying that the Shen Mansion was shabby.

"This is too much. Do they not care about their daughter's life or death after the divorce? In order to avoid paying the dowry, they even disown the daughter they have raised for more than ten years. The Duke's Mansion is really great."

After hearing the old lady's earnest words, everyone unconsciously stood on her side and started cursing in the direction of the Duke's Mansion gate.
