Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Yuning raised her head from the old lady's arms and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

However, her eyes were still red from crying, and the old lady felt so distressed seeing them. She hated to see beautiful women crying the most, and she also felt distressed when a handsome man cried.

"Yes, actually, I thought about it later, what my mother said was right. It was not easy for my father to be out there, and he spent so much money for me to learn medicine. I, I, I shouldn't have done that."

Everyone present guessed that it was Zhou, but they were all waiting for Shen Yuning to say it herself. If she didn't say it and helped Zhou to conceal it, they would pretend not to know. Now, Shen Yuning said it, so Old Lady Shen had to make the decision for Shen Yuning.

"Humph, ask your father how much you spent on learning medicine. Is it as much as she gave to her nephew? Zhou is really a good person. She dared to do such a thing without telling her husband."

"Mother, it's all my fault. If I hadn't come back so often, Zhou wouldn't have dared to bully my daughter like this."

Shen Hao was really hurt when he saw Shen Yuning sad. After all, this was his daughter who was raised in his hands. If he didn't want to see Zhou, he was also afraid that moving out with Shen Yuning would bring bad reputation to her and make it difficult for her to get married in the future. Any of his concubines would treat their daughter well.

The more Shen Hao thought about it, the more he wanted to divorce his wife so that he could marry a new one. He wouldn't have to live outside the Shen Mansion all year round, and his children would also be able to have a good life.

Old Mrs. Shen waved her hands. She knew that her son was a coward and had wanted to divorce his wife for a long time, but she didn't dare to face Zhou directly. She was afraid of Zhou and her family. Anyway, she didn't have any hope for her eldest son.

"Forget it, you should just live your own life. You don't have much money left after supporting those women outside. You can't even support your own daughter. I am very disappointed in you."

Shen Hao knew that it was him that Old Lady Shen looked down upon. He knew that his second brother was as useless as himself, but his second brother was sweet-talker. His third brother was good-looking and well-educated, and was his mother's favorite son. Even his younger sister was married, and her husband was just a poor scholar, but his mother liked this son-in-law more. He also wanted his mother to like him more.

In fact, what Shen Hao didn’t know was that although her son-in-law Bai Xiao came from a poor family and was only a scholar, the reason why Old Lady Shen liked him more was entirely because of his looks.

Bai Xiao is as good-looking as Shen Yun. Shen Yun may look more imposing, while Bai Xiao has the image of an elegant scholar.

Well...it's exactly the same image that Bai Mingyao wants to maintain now, the image of a weak and helpless scholar in white, which makes people feel pity when they see it.

"Mom~I..."

Shen Hao wanted to say something, but Old Lady Shen no longer wanted to listen. She turned around and spoke to Mrs. Wang who had been serving her.

"Go, ask your family to find some people to move the things from Ning's room to my yard."

Wang Po's husband was the steward of the Shen residence and his surname was also Wang. After receiving the order, Wang Po left in a hurry. When Shen Hao heard that his mother had brought his daughter to her side to take care of her, he was both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that his daughter will no longer be bullied by her stepmother. The sad thing is that he is so old, but he is still afraid of his wife, which makes his children have a particularly hard time living with this wife.

His ability was limited, and he could only protect his son. He had tried to protect Ning'er a few times, but he had no control over his other daughters.

"Okay, let's deal with Ning's matter. She will live with me from now on. Let's talk about the previous incident. I hate it most when I don't hear the whole thing and then I keep thinking about it."

Of course, it would be uncomfortable if she couldn't eat the whole melon. The old lady usually likes to listen to stories to kill time. She was listening very seriously just now, but she had to deal with Ning girl's problem in the middle. Now she can get back to the topic, right?

"Yi girl, you were the first to bring up this matter. Do you know who is the one who is paying the compensation?"

Shen An told everything he knew, and then he remembered that it was Shen Jinyi who brought up the matter in the first place. When he thought of the more than two hundred taels of silver, he regretted that he should have bought it in the first place.

"It would be meaningless if I just said it directly, um...how about you guys just guess."

Shen Hao now wanted to pull Cheng Jinchu, who was standing next to the old lady, down and throw her away. This girl obviously knew that he was the one who did it. What was she doing now? Couldn't she just give him a quick death?

Do you have to do this?

Now he felt like a pig being slaughtered. Instead of cutting off its head, the pig had to be tied up and cut on the body with a knife. The blood was slowly flowing out and it was just painful. It hurt everywhere, but the pig could not die.

"Hmm... I guess it must be a prince or someone from the royal family. Otherwise, who would be so willing to take out nearly one thousand taels of silver."

The one who was speaking was Yu. The Shen family was very rich now, and the third branch was very rich. After all, the Mo family still had to take better care of the third branch. However, generally speaking, even if the third uncle encountered such a situation, he would only settle the losses and then compensate according to the price.

Yu knew the place that was burned. When she bought the house, it was worth no more than one hundred taels. After all, one hundred taels was already very good. But it happened that each family probably got more than two hundred taels of silver.

Wow... what a generous deal! Now those people can find a better house.

"Uncle, didn't your good friend tell you something else, such as how they persuaded that man to take out so much money willingly?"

Shen An was just regretting that he didn't buy the house next to Li Liu's. If he had bought it at that time, his house would have been burned down. Now that Cheng Jinchu said this, he carefully recalled what Xiao Liuzi said that day.

Everyone stared at Shen An to see if he could remember anything. Shen An thought for a whole cup of tea, and this cup of tea made the people waiting feel like half a day had passed.

"Oh, I remember now. They found that something was wrong with the woman who lived in the house where the fire started. Then a little kid came out and said that he often went through the dog hole to feed a puppy in that house. Then he saw the woman who got up in the middle of the night.

At first, he couldn't see what the woman was doing from where he was hiding, until he saw the house on fire, and then he ran home in a hurry.

There was indeed a big yellow dog in Qian's house, a female dog. Some time ago, she gave birth to a litter of puppies and gave them away to a neighbor who wanted one. However, the little boy's mother hated dogs and did not allow him to keep one.

It just so happened that there was only one puppy left in the litter, so the child would go to see the puppy every night with food after his parents fell asleep.

The child didn't dare tell his parents when he got home, for fear that his mother would be beaten because he went out to watch the dog at night. So he simply covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep. Unexpectedly, the wind was strong that night and the fire started fiercely. He was pulled up by his mother and stood by to watch his father and other uncles put out the fire.

In the end, it was because his mother was crying and wailing, saying that everything was gone, and she even fainted.

When he saw his mother like that, he stammered and told Qian what he had seen. Then, the group of people whose house was burned took this little witness to find Qian.
