The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Since that letter, Mu Chenye had not spread any news for many days.

Even though Shen Tangan was worried, he didn't dare show it on his face and could only wait quietly.

"Miss, please go out and take a look! The second young lady wants to punish Sister Mengshu."

Suddenly, Mu Tao ran in hurriedly, looking anxious as if she was about to cry.

"What happened?"

Shen Tangan frowned when he heard this, and quickly stood up and walked out of the yard with Yunzhu's support.

Meng Shu was seen kneeling on the ground crying, while Shen Qingwan, who was standing opposite her, was holding a whip and was about to hit her.

"younger sister!"

Shen Tangan quickly spoke out to stop them, came to their side and glanced at Meng Shu.

"what happen?"

When Shen Qingwan saw Shen Tangan appear, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She raised her chin slightly and said in a cold voice: "Sister, you came at the right time. Your maid offended me, so I will teach her a lesson."

Shen Tangan glanced at Meng Shu who was kneeling on the ground. Seeing that she looked aggrieved, she sobbed and said, "Miss, I was just sweeping the floor and did not offend the Second Miss."

Shen Tangan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shen Qingwan and said, "Sister, Mengshu is my maid. Even if she has done something wrong, I should deal with her. Isn't it inappropriate for you to punish her without asking any questions?"

Shen Qingwan sneered: "Sister, your maid doesn't know the rules, I am helping you discipline her. Besides, I am pregnant with the heir to the throne. If she bumps into me and hurts the baby in my belly, who will take the responsibility?"

Shen Tangan was angry in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

She knew that Shen Qingwan was becoming more and more arrogant and domineering because she was pregnant with the royal heir.

But she couldn't allow Shen Qingwan to bully her maid.

"Sister, since Meng Shu said she didn't offend you, there must be a misunderstanding. You want to beat and punish me before you find out the truth. Do you really think that there is no one in my Qingzhu Courtyard?"

Shen Tangan said in a calm tone.

Shen Qingwan was not relenting: "Sister, what else is there to investigate? She is just a maid, and she dared to disrespect me. She should be punished."

As she spoke, she raised the whip again, ready to hit Meng Shu.

Seeing this, Shen Tangan quickly stepped forward and blocked Shen Qingwan's whip.

"Sister, don't go too far. Meng Shu is mine, and I won't let you punish her at will."

"Miss!"

Meng Shu exclaimed, fearing that Shen Qingwan's whip would hit the young lady, but she was also touched that the young lady actually stood directly in front of her.

Shen Qingwan was so angry that her face turned red: "Sister, you treated me like this for a maid? Don't forget that I am pregnant with the royal heir. His Majesty and the Queen both attach great importance to me. If you offend me, it will not be good for you."

Shen Tangan looked at Shen Qingwan fearlessly: "Sister, even if you are pregnant with the heir to the throne, you cannot bully others. I will investigate today's matter thoroughly. If Meng Shu is really wrong, I will punish her. But if you wronged her, you must give me an explanation."

Shen Qingwan bit her lip and glared at Shen Tangan fiercely.

"Well, since sister is so protective of your maid, we will just wait and see."

After saying that, he glared at Meng Shu again, flicked the whip and left.

Shen Tangan looked at Shen Qingwan's back, feeling helpless.

She knew that Shen Qingwan would not let it go and might find an opportunity to retaliate in the future.

What's more, she came here clearly prepared today. Zheng was punished by her father to go to the Buddhist temple because of Meng Shu.

How could she end this matter so easily?

She helped Meng Shu up and asked softly, "What happened? Why did Shen Qingwan punish you?"

Meng Shu wiped her tears and said aggrievedly, "Miss, I really didn't offend the Second Miss. I was just cleaning the yard, and the Second Miss suddenly came over and said that I was blocking her way, and then she started to scold me. I defended myself for a few words, and the Second Miss said that I was disrespectful and wanted to punish me."

After hearing what Meng Shu said, Shen Tangan became even more certain that Shen Qingwan was deliberately making trouble.

"Don't be afraid. I will never let you be bullied by her. She is just looking for trouble. I am here and will not let her bully you. When you see her in the future, try to avoid her to avoid getting hurt."

"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely avoid the Second Miss in the future."

Meng Shu nodded in response. She knew that the Second Miss would come for revenge sooner or later, and she had already prepared to die.

But she never imagined that the young lady would risk her life to protect her, which made her very grateful.

"Forget it, I'm afraid I can't stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore."

Shen Tangan frowned slightly and immediately sent someone to call Xue Ji.

"How is the shop I asked you to buy a few days ago?"

During this period, Xue Ji often went out early and came back late, all because he followed Shen Tangan's instructions and bought several shops in Kyoto.

Now that the deal has been concluded and the property deeds have been signed, we are just waiting for the young lady to plan what kind of business to start.

"Don't worry, Miss. Everything is ready."

Xue Ji reported the progress of the shop to her one by one.

"Very good, tomorrow Mengshu, you will live with her in the shop. It just so happens that you are learning business from Xueji, and you should be more talented."

Meng Shu was surprised and touched when she heard this. "Miss, how can I leave your side? What if the Second Miss comes to trouble you again..."

Shen Tangan patted Meng Shu's hand gently, "Don't worry, I can handle it. You will be safer outside, and you can also learn some skills."

Xue Ji looked at Shen Tangan's determined expression, and a surge of admiration surged in her heart, "Miss, don't worry, I will take good care of Meng Shu."

The next day, Meng Shu followed Xue Ji to the shop. Shen Tangan was in the mansion, but he was always worried about Mu Chenye's news, and was also wary of Shen Qingwan's revenge.

A few days later, the shop gradually improved under the management of Xueji and Mengshu. Shen Tangan also kept an eye on Shen Qingwan's movements in the Marquis' Mansion.

One day, Shen Tangan was reading in his room when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

She frowned slightly, stood up and walked out.

I saw several maids whispering in the yard, looking panicked.

"What happened?" Shen Tangan asked.

A maid quickly replied, "Miss, I heard that the second young lady made a scene in the mansion, saying that she had lost a valuable piece of jewelry, and she suspected that someone had stolen it. Now she is leading people to search in all the courtyards."

Shen Tangan's heart sank. She knew Shen Qingwan was deliberately looking for trouble. She said calmly, "Don't panic. Just let them search."

Shen Qingwan took a lot of jewelry from her, and now she dares to lie that her jewelry was stolen.

Sure enough, after a while, Shen Qingwan brought a group of people to Shen Tangan's yard.

She looked at Shen Tangan arrogantly, "Sister, my jewelry is lost, and I think it was stolen. So I have to search every courtyard. I hope you don't mind."

Shen Tangan smiled slightly, "Sister, have you thought it through?"
