The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Shen Lian was extremely arrogant and domineering. He spoke like this about Sister Zhang behind her back, which showed that he had no sense of hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Zhao was not afraid at all: "What can she figure out? Who knows that this house was left to her by her mother?"

The more Shen Yan listened, the more her brows furrowed.

It turned out that Zhao and Shen Lian were planning how to empty her property, but they didn't know that Shen Yan heard all their words and conspiracies clearly. As the saying goes, walls have ears.

"Mom, you really prepared for a rainy day. That stupid fat girl probably doesn't know that her mother has such a house. Fortunately, Dad doesn't know either."

Shen Lian thought that this way she could conceal the truth and embezzle Shen Yan's dowry and house together with her mother.

Shen Yan didn't know about such a house at first. After all, the original owner had never heard of it until his death.

But now, Shen Yan knew everything. Not only was this house the private property of her mother's family, but even her dowry that Zhao had embezzled was hidden inside.

Well, this time you came at the right time.

If I hadn't come out for a walk, I wouldn't have heard such great news.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan basically had a plan in mind.

She quietly left the alley, then took a carriage to the outskirts of the city and came to a dilapidated courtyard.

This place was indeed shabby. She hid in a corner, not knowing whether to go in or out. In short, she had nowhere to stay.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Dashan came back from the mountain after chopping firewood. When he returned to the yard, he saw a fat woman.

"Hey!"

Hearing the shouting behind him, Shen Yan was startled and jumped up, causing the ground to shake.

"Uncle!"

When Shen Yan realized that the person behind her was Zhang Dashan, she was no longer afraid, but went over to greet him in a flattering manner.

But Zhang Dashan ignored her and went straight to the woodshed and piled up the firewood he had just chopped.

Shen Yan had caused discord among her relatives before, and naturally her relationship with her uncle was not good, which made Shen Yan feel very difficult.

How should she turn the tables on the original owner when she was heartless at the beginning?

"Oh, uncle."

The original owner's mother, Zhang, died early, and he had an older brother named Zhang Dashan.

Zhang Dashan was a sensible man. When Zhang first got married, he was not very supportive because he felt that the poor scholar from the Shen family would not be good to his sister.

However, Zhang's father felt that the Shen family was a family of scholars and Shen's father was a scholar, so their future life would definitely not be too bad.

The status of scholars in this era was still very high, especially if you had the title of scholar, it was not difficult to find a wife.

But the Zhang family is a merchant family, and people who do business have a very low status. Although they have some money, they are not valued by others.

After Shen Xiucai became rich, he learned that the Zhang family had fallen on hard times, and he looked down on Zhang even more. Not only did he ignore Zhang, he also looked down on her mother's family.

So not long after getting married, Mr. Shen took a concubine.

It was under such circumstances that Zhang fell ill and died of depression because she was not taken care of by her husband.

After Zhang's death, Zhao used sweet words and flattery to get Mr. Shen to make her his legal wife, causing unrest in the family.

Zhao was not a good person. She was born in a remote farming family. Her family had little money and she was not liked by her parents, so she could only cling to her husband as a straw.

Even Zhang's death had something to do with her.

When Zhang was still alive, Zhao had been telling Mr. Shen that being from a merchant family meant they had a low status.

Because of this, Zhang was not valued in her husband's family. Under such circumstances, her brother Zhang Dashan chose to join the army in order to fight for his sister.

But unfortunately, he broke his leg during the battle.

When he came back, the Zhang family had completely fallen on hard times. Zhang Dashan didn't want to cause trouble for his family, so he moved to the suburbs.

All in all, Zhang Dashan is still very responsible. He built a thatched house and lived alone.

In fact, Zhang Dashan went to secretly visit his sister and niece, but Shen Yan never said anything good every time.

It was probably at Zhao's instigation that Shen Yan foolishly said something like "the poor relatives are here to ask for money again."

Zhang Dashan felt sad after hearing this and stopped visiting his niece. Later, when Zhang died, although he felt sad, he just watched from afar.

Shen Yan had no relatives and was not very smart. She became like that due to the instigation of her stepmother and neighbors.

She didn't even have a good relationship with her only uncle and had no relatives, so she just listened to whatever Zhao said.

Zhang Dashan is not very mobile, so he is naturally unhappy to see his niece coming.

Besides, his house was too small, and the yard wasn't big either. Shen Yan was so big that he would be a bit of a hindrance wherever he was placed.

Seeing Zhang Dashan sorting firewood, Shen Yan wanted to help, but Zhang Dashan always avoided her, as if he were a plague god.

"Good uncle, please don't be angry with me."

Now Shen Yan is no longer the original owner, she knows how to beg for help in a humble manner.

In her previous life, what kind of people had she not seen? Even if she had not seen them, she had seen all kinds of weird people on the Internet.

There are also bloggers on short video platforms who specialize in teaching people how to speak with high emotional intelligence.

So it is not difficult for Shen Yan to say something that others like to hear.

"Oh, dear uncle, I came to ask you for something today. Don't hit a smiling person. What do you think, uncle?"

Zhang Dashan snorted coldly, saying that she would not come to see him for no reason. If there was nothing wrong, she would definitely not come to see his disabled uncle.

"What good can you do?"

Zhang Dashan was used to it. Whenever his niece came to him on her own initiative, nothing good would happen.

Besides, she would not come here easily on her own initiative. Now she is begging me humbly. She must have encountered some big problems.

After Zhang Dashan prepared the firewood, he returned to the house. The space in the house was not big and could barely accommodate two people.

"Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you soon, please take a good rest."

Shen Yan took the initiative to show her courtesy, mainly because she hadn't eaten yet and wanted to get a meal at Zhang Dashan's place first.

"I dare not trouble you, young lady, lest you poison the food I eat again."

Zhang Dashan said awkwardly.

Although he said that, when he looked at Shen Yan now, it seemed that she was completely different from before.

Shen Yan now seems like a good girl. There is not so much calculation in her eyes, unlike Zhao.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy he felt. Could it be that his niece had gone through something and had completely changed?

He was afraid that she had been possessed by another spirit.

Shen Yan knew that it would not be easy for her uncle to accept her sudden request to please him.

Because the original owner's arrogant and domineering image has been deeply rooted in their hearts.
