Chapter 4 The Stolen Hosta
In the twelfth lunar month in the north, the silvery white snow reflects the sunlight and sparkles.
The chickens in the backyard, not wanting to be lonely, started singing the "Frozen as Dogs" song at the top of their lungs.
That voice, passing through the cold air, echoed in the empty courtyard, as if saying, "Brothers, would you like to consider moving to the South?"
In the courtyard of the Shen Mansion, the colorful fish seemed to feel the chill as well, and huddled in the corners of the pond, as if huddling together for warmth.
Shen Wanwan stood in the yard, staring at the sky in a daze.
She dressed up beautifully today, with her hair combed into the popular deer bun and an exquisite coral hairpin inserted in it. She wore a dark red silk double-nest cloud goose dress, and looked like a lady from a noble family.
The maid Qiu Ju watched and nodded, thinking: "Our daughter is so beautiful today, it's a pity that such a beautiful dress is just used as a foil for someone to regret the marriage."
"Girl, take care of yourself." Qiuju reminded softly.
Shen Wanwan came back to her senses and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm in good health."
Qiu Ju was watching from the side, wondering in her heart: The girl seems to be in an unusually good mood today?
Shen Wanwan seemed to see through Qiuju's thoughts. She blinked and joked, "Why? Do you think I'm particularly beautiful today and are stunned by me?"
Qiu Ju was amused by her and said with a smile: "The girl looks a little more heroic than usual."
Shen Wanwan laughed and said, "Heroic? That's good, so that people won't say I'm a sickly person."
At this moment, a maid dressed in green came running over and said breathlessly, "Miss San, someone from Yulu Hall is here to urge you. They said the old lady is waiting for you."
She said breathlessly, "Go quickly, or the old lady will get angry again!"
Yulu Hall, that's where Old Madam Shen lives.
Early in the morning, the old lady sent someone to call Shen Wanwan and also brought some clothes and valuables, obviously intending for her to pay her respects to the old lady.
In fact, whether it is a visit to pay respects or to go to war to punish, everyone knows it clearly.
Shen Wanwan shrugged and said helplessly: "Hey, this Yulu Hall is full of drama every day."
The group walked towards Rongjing Hall chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
Shen Wanwan knew that this trip to Yulutang would inevitably lead to another verbal dispute, but she had already prepared herself for it. She would fight back against the enemy and block the water with earth. Let's see who is more powerful!
After walking through the long corridor and passing the exquisitely trimmed garden, Shen Wanwan and her group arrived at the entrance of Yulu Hall.
The atmosphere in Yulu Hall was a bit awkward. The old lady sat in the upper seat with an angry look on her face. Shen Chuwei stood next to the eldest lady Xia Qingnuo, tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Shen Wanwan smiled slightly and thought to herself, "This Yulu Hall is really good at acting. If you don't know, you would think that there are family banquets here every day."
She straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and then strode into Yulu Hall.
As soon as Shen Wanwan appeared, the atmosphere in Yulu Hall instantly became subtle.
Shen Chuwei and Xia Qingnuo exchanged glances, while the old lady looked at Shen Wanwan with disdain.
Shen Wanwan pretended not to see it, smiled and bowed to the old lady, saying, "Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother."
Madam Shen's smile had faded, and she raised her head slightly with a hint of arrogance. She was clearly already in her seventies, but she still had the unique temperament of old age.
The next second, she heard Old Madam Shen shouting, "Unfilial daughter, kneel down!"
As Old Madam Shen said this, Shen Wanwan stood there as if rooted, not moving an inch.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen something incredible.
Shen Wanwan, the little girl who was not welcomed because of her status as a maid's daughter, actually straightened her back in front of the old lady.
Old Madam Shen was famous for her harshness. To say that she was harsh was an insult to the word "harsh".
Over time, Shen Wanwan was raised to be timid and dull, and never objected to the old lady's orders.
But today, she didn't kneel? This was even more bizarre than the sun rising from the west!
"Grandma, Wanwan really doesn't understand. What on earth did I do wrong?"
Shen Wanwan's tone was calm and her eyes were firm, as if she was saying "Just watch as much as you want, I'm going to stand and talk today."
"Could it be that Third Sister is confused due to the fever?" Shen Chuwei was the first to speak, with an anxious look on her face: "Grandmother was just angry for a moment, she didn't really want to punish you. Now all you have to do is admit your mistake and it will be settled, why are you still so stubborn?"
These words sounded as if Shen Wanwan had committed some horrible mistake.
Shen Wanwan just tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Shen Chuwei couldn't help but say, "Third sister, Fourth sister knows that you are upset because of what happened yesterday. I still have a lot of jewelry, but that white jade butterfly hairpin was given to me as a coming-of-age gift by my mother. Please return it to me, third sister."
Oh, I see.
Shen Wanwan recalled the plot of the original book. She was framed for stealing Shen Chuwei's jade hairpin, and then was hated by the old lady. In the end, she was forced to exchange identities with Shen Chuwei, marry into the Yin family, and live a life worse than death.
But today, she is no longer the Shen Wanwan who can be bullied by others.
As soon as Shen Chuwei finished speaking, she saw Shen Wanwan looking at her. Her grape-like dark eyes were surprisingly clear, as if containing some special meaning, which made her stunned.
She responded calmly, "Fourth sister, I don't understand what you said. Your jade hairpin is missing, so how can you be sure that I stole it? Besides, grandma gave me so many jewelry today, why would I steal yours?"
Shen Chuwei was speechless because of her words. She laughed dryly and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Third sister, we are all family, these things are not a big deal, I have a lot of jewelry, I can exchange with you."
"Fourth sister, you have to be careful with what you say." Shen Wanwan suddenly interrupted her, her voice rising eight degrees, "We are from a family of scholars and nobles, so we have to be careful in what we say and do. I was young and ignorant before, and I may have done something that people misunderstood, but you can't just accuse me of stealing, I am innocent."
Shen Chuwei was stunned.
After hearing these words, not only Shen Chuwei, but everyone in the room, including Old Madam Shen, was stunned.
Shen Wanwan is usually gentle and timid, never speaks loudly, and is a docile and easy-to-control person. How could she have ever been so harsh and harsh?
Xia Qingnuo's eyes flashed. Shen Chuwei was still young and not as smart as her.
She comes from a scholarly family, but she is not stupid. She is usually very proud and never gives in.
Seeing her daughter suffer a loss, she was unhappy and said gently, "Weiwei, you are too presumptuous. She is still your third sister no matter what. It's just a hairpin. It's okay. Mother will make you another one."
Shen Wanwan almost laughed out loud. Wasn't this just an attempt to accuse her of a crime?
She smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Old Madam Shen who had been silent the whole time: "Grandma, I really didn't take Shen Chuwei's things. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to search my bare house to see if you can find the precious jade hairpin."
Old Madam Shen raised her head and nodded calmly.
"Then search it. It will be good for everyone if the truth comes out."
