The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Song Yunfeng naturally had no doubts, nodded, and said nothing.

But for some reason, if this idea was reasonable and Boss Li wanted to thank her, he could just say it loudly in front of everyone.

But he had clearly said it quietly just now, because he didn't want others to know, and he had to remind her alone.

This shows that there is indeed something wrong with Wang Huahua.

Not long after, the two arrived at Mr. Shen's house.

Zhao put on a motherly look and took Shen Lian to greet them.

"Yan'er, son-in-law, you are finally here. You asked me to wait for you for a long time."

The false wrinkles at the corners of Zhao's eyes were as obvious as her selfishness.

"Yan'er, son-in-law, you must be tired after walking all this way. Come home and have something to eat. The servants have prepared the food and are waiting for you!"

If Shen Yan didn't know about the dirty things Zhao had done before, she would really think that this stepmother was a qualified mistress of the house.

But now seeing her hypocrisy, she just wanted to sneer at her.

"Yan'er, how come you've lost so much weight after only being away from home for a few days? Did you not eat well at the Song residence?"

Zhao's scheming was reflected in every aspect. Even though she seemed satisfied with her son-in-law on the surface, she was still trying to sow discord between the couple with her words.

Shen Yan didn't want to talk to her. Not only was this woman being hypocritical, but more importantly, Song Yunfeng was also there today.

If she fought with Zhao, it would only make Song Yunfeng feel embarrassed, and she didn't want to make things difficult for Song Yunfeng.

But the Zhao family refused to let Song Yunfeng go. In addition to suppressing him on the surface, they also showed contempt between the lines.

"Sir, you don't know that our Yan'er has been spoiled since she was a child. She has never done any work. It was her father who spoiled her. She needs three or five maids to take care of her when she is a little girl. When I went to the Song Mansion that day, I saw that there were not enough people. Could they take good care of our Yan'er?"

"By the way, although our Master Shen is not an official, he was also a famous scholar in his time. My dear, since you married our daughter, you will not let our eldest daughter do rough work in your house, right? Otherwise, why is she so thin?"

These words not only blamed Song Yunfeng, but also mocked Shen Yan.

However, Shen Yan knew Zhao's temper, and she would definitely not speak well of her for no reason.

She must have some other purpose for lying with her eyes open, so she kept talking and continued watching the mother and daughter act.

Shen Lian also followed suit: "That's what I mean, brother-in-law, you should be happy that you can marry someone like my sister. When my sister was planning to marry you, there were so many men chasing after her, but my sister didn't like any of them."

"That is to say, after the daughter of our Shen family gets married, she will also need several maids to take care of her daily life. On weekdays, she will have to be accompanied by three or four maids. But I see that your family doesn't seem to have so many things to do, so why not take two maids from the dirt and send them to our Shen family, and I will help you tidy up."

Good man, Shen Yan finally understood it. Such a shameless way of playing was figured out by Zhao.

A servant costs dozens of taels of silver. Is it okay to ask someone directly for him?

The abacus beads were about to fall on her face, and Shen Yan could no longer hold her temper.

Mr. Shen had only the reputation of a scholar. Later, he continued his studies but had no place to stay, nor did he become an official.

Being able to be a teacher in a school is a respect given by others, otherwise you won’t even have a job to make a living.

On the one hand, Zhao was flattering herself by saying this, but in the eyes of others, once Shen Yan agreed, she would be the one who was unreasonable.

Is someone like Zhao worthy enough to look down on Song Yunfeng?

Even if he was Mr. Shen, he shouldn't say such things, let alone his own son-in-law.

Even if he was a seventh-rank county magistrate, he was still an official appointed by the imperial court and received money every month to manage the expenses of the government office.

Just because Zhao said these words, she attracted gossipy glances from people around her, although those glances were not very friendly.

Isn't this blatantly allowing others to gossip about your own family?

Zhao naturally didn't mind the big deal, and would not hesitate to sacrifice her reputation as long as she could gain benefits.

Shen Yan suddenly had an idea. The best way to deal with ruffians is to give them a taste of their own medicine.

So she simply interrupted the other person and raised her voice deliberately: "Mother, what you said makes sense, but my husband is a poor official, and he is also an honest official. Naturally, he doesn't know how to make money. You must not teach him bad things. After I marry him, the mansion really has no money to cover my daily expenses. It would be better for you to return my dowry to me so that our lives will be better!"

The words were spoken loudly, so the people around should have heard them clearly.

Zhao's voice was quite loud just now, and Shen Yan just wanted to overpower her.

Let the neighbors know about this matter so that there will be no misunderstandings.

A sharp light flashed in Zhao's eyes, and then she returned to her innocent look.

"Yan'er, you don't have any dowry. The money your mother left behind was later used to support her family. Who caused Zhang to get into such trouble? You have no evidence. How could you be so ignorant to slander me for taking your dowry in broad daylight?"

Although Zhao's voice was loud and she sounded very aggrieved, there was no confidence in her tone.

Shen Yan was not afraid at all. Now that she had evidence, she was not in a hurry to know when to slap her in the face.

Moreover, she knew where the dowry was. When the time was right, she would just ask the government to investigate and she would definitely get to the bottom of it.

It doesn’t matter. It’s not the right time yet. Let’s just attend today’s banquet first.

Song Yunfeng didn't say anything, but he followed Shen Yan and listened, and knew that Shen Yan's situation was not good either.

I originally thought that Shen Yan was fat and had lived the life of a lady from a scholar's family. I didn't expect her stepmother to treat her so badly.

Thinking of this, Song Yunfeng actually felt heartbroken several times.

Zhao was afraid that Shen Yan would say something unpleasant, so she walked back and didn't say anything in front of the villagers.

After returning to the mansion, Mr. Shen had already returned.

He has now found a job as a husband and feels that he has a job, is proud of himself and is respectable.

Therefore, when meeting her son-in-law, even though he was a seventh-rank county magistrate, she did not take him seriously at all.

After all, he is now working for Master Yang, who used to be an official of the third rank and was a favorite of the emperor.

Although he has retired and returned to his hometown, he still has some prestige among the common people.

After all the people who were coming were ready, Shen Xiucai came in slowly with airs.

It seemed that she didn't take her son-in-law seriously at all and didn't even care about basic etiquette.
