Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Wan'er used my carriage. I hope you won't blame me." Shen Jingwan said with a sweet smile. Her voice was gentle, crisp and pleasant, but her intention was obvious.

She walked lightly to the front of the carriage and gently stroked the body of the carriage with her hand.

This carriage indeed looks extremely gorgeous from the outside, with exquisitely carved patterns, gold and stone decorations, and a dazzling canopy, all of which demonstrate its nobility and luxury.

However, if you walk into the carriage and take a look, you can find that the walls inside are extremely hard. Such a design is obviously not suitable for long-distance travel. Therefore, when it went to Shandong, the carriage was left in the capital.

Who would have thought that it would now be given to Shen Jingwan by Old Madam Shen.

Shen Chuning just glanced at the carriage indifferently and said expressionlessly: "You will be blamed, so come back."

The tone was so calm as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Hearing this, the smile on Shen Jingwan's face froze instantly, replaced by a pitiful look as if she was about to cry.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Shen Chuning aggrievedly, calling out in a tender voice, "Sister..." She looked so pitiful.

However, Shen Chuning remained unmoved. She continued to stare at her coldly and emphasized again, "I told you to return the carriage."

"But grandma has already decided to give the carriage to Wan'er." Shen Jingwan tried to use Old Madam Shen to pressure Shen Chuning.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chuning didn't buy it at all. She snorted coldly and said, "Did Grandmother pay for that carriage? What right does she have to decide other people's things? Grandmother likes to make decisions for others so much, so let her make a new one for you!"

These words left Shen Jingwan speechless.

Recently, she has to go out of the city every day to meet some powerful ladies and famous girls. She wants to act like a proud daughter among those poor people.

Without a decent carriage to show off, it would be difficult to hold your head up in front of those people.

But Shen Jingwan knew very well that asking her grandmother to pay for a new carriage for her would be harder than climbing to the sky.

After all, my grandmother has been very stingy since she started to manage the household, so how could she easily take out such money?

The money used for distributing porridge at that time was paid out from the public account by my grandmother reluctantly at the request of my grandfather after all the major families in the capital started distributing porridge.

Even so, when she wanted to be different and make the porridge thicker, her grandmother still firmly opposed it.

Now, the money spent on the porridge stall is paid by the Shen family 50% and she pays 50%.

Just to gain a good reputation, the money she had saved up over the years, plus the money she earned from Hengfu Money House, was already stretched to the limit.

Fortunately, she recently negotiated a business deal with the owner of Hengfu Money House. She helped to collect deposits from various families and took points as compensation. This was how she was able to barely support her daily expenses.

Seeing that she couldn't convince Shen Chuning, Shen Jingwan quickly shifted her gaze to Yun Shuxuan beside her, and said coquettishly, "Second Aunt, my sister obviously has so many carriages, why did she have to fight with Wan'er for this one?"

Hearing this, Yun Shuxuan showed displeasure on his face. He glared at Shen Jingwan fiercely and responded, "This carriage originally belonged to An Ning. How can you say that she is fighting with you for it?"

When Shen Jingwan heard this, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to burst out in the next second.

Yun Shuxuan suddenly changed the subject and said softly, "Aning, Wan'er is right. You have a regular bike and a spare bike, but this one has been sitting idle in the mansion for a long time. It might get eaten by moths one day. Instead of wasting it, why not give it to someone in need?"

Hearing this, even though Shen Chuning felt aggrieved, she had no choice but to silently lower her head and agree.

Meanwhile, Shen Jingwan, who was standing by, instantly raised her chin with pride, staring directly at Shen Chuning with a provocative look, and said in a coquettish voice, "After all, Second Aunt loves Wan'er the most."

However, before she could finish her words, Yun Shuxuan continued, "Bi Rui no longer lives in the mansion, so it's really inconvenient for her to come and go like this every day. Let Bi Rui use this carriage."

In an instant, Shen Chuning, who was originally full of grievances, couldn't help but look up with joy. It turned out that her mother was still on her side after all!

She nodded with a smile and said, "Then let Birui use this carriage."

Unexpectedly, Shen Jingwan's expression suddenly changed when she heard this. She took a deep breath and then retorted in a stiff tone: "Second Aunt, a mere servant is probably not blessed enough to enjoy such a luxurious carriage, right?"

Facing Shen Jingwan's questioning, Shen Chuning walked up to her without hesitation and responded righteously: "Birui did it for me, and of course she deserves a reward. Besides, it seems that it is not your turn to interfere in what to do with the second house's carriage!"

Yun Shuxuan stood to one side and continued with a mocking look on his face, "Wan'er, when will you break this habit of always searching for treasure in garbage dumps? Before, you were looking for trash for your parents, and now you're looking for carriages."

Hearing this, Shen Jingwan gritted her teeth in anger, glared at Yun Shuxuan, and retorted indignantly: "Second Aunt, it's thanks to my help, otherwise you would probably still be blocked at the city gate. Instead of being grateful for my help, you treat me like this. Don't you feel the slightest bit of guilt in your conscience?"

At this moment, Shen Chuning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. She glanced at Shen Jingwan coldly and asked, "Since you mentioned conscience, let me ask you, where is the person we sent back to report the news?"

Faced with this sudden question, Shen Jingwan couldn't help but feel a little flustered. She stammered and replied, "In... in... well... how would I know... He came back from outside the city. Logically speaking, he should be at the house in the west of the city."

However, Shen Chuning obviously did not believe her words. She approached Shen Jingwan step by step, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if she could see through all the lies.

"The house in the west of the city?" Shen Chuning's voice became increasingly cold, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

"As soon as I entered the city, I sent people to look for him. Are you sure he's in the house west of the city?"

At this time, Shen Jingwan was completely panicked. Her eyes began to flicker, revealing obvious panic, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

But she still pretended to be calm and stammered, "But... maybe I remembered it wrongly... maybe... maybe he was assigned to the house in Ganhua Hutong."

Isn’t Ganhua Hutong the place where Shen Jingwan and her daughter lived before returning home?

It's just a courtyard with one entrance. How many people can it accommodate?

"It's really you who's causing all this trouble!" After Shen Chuning said this, she didn't even glance at Shen Jingwan again. She just walked past her and strode into the mansion.

The servant following her ran towards Ganhua Hutong.
