Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!
Chapter 38 Candidates
Qin Xuerong was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath.
No matter how good Wang Xiao is, he has no achievements now. His talent and character are all empty. After all, which parent would say that their own child is not good?
But the rumors about his romantic affairs were all true.
"I know that, but Master Wang has hinted at it many times. He is so open-hearted. If I reject this marriage, he might be unhappy." Shen Jingchuan spoke slowly.
Qin Xuerong said again: "There are many heirs in the mansion, how about choosing one from the others?"
Shen Jingchuan frowned and said, "Sister Zhen is a little young, she just turned thirteen, and the other suitable sisters are all illegitimate, how can they be worthy of the Wang family?"
Speaking of this, Qin Xuerong's heart moved and she thought of Shen Shuyi.
"Master, have you forgotten that besides Jingyu and Jingzhen, there is another person who is worthy of the Wang family?"
Shen Jingchuan paused for a few seconds, obviously thinking of Shen Shuyi.
Qin Xuerong said immediately, "Before, Sister Yi was in poor health, so she went to a Buddhist temple to cultivate her body and mind. Now more than four years have passed, and she is about to reach the age of marriage, so it is time to bring her back. To put it another way, she is only half a year younger than Sister Yu. Even if we don't consider the Wang family, we should at least consider a marriage for her."
Shen Jingchuan frowned tightly, as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter.
Qin Xuerong said again: "Shuyi is also a legitimate daughter of the mansion, and is a good match for the Wang family. There is still time for her to reach the age of marriage. As long as I teach her well, I will not disappoint the master."
Shen Jingchuan was still hesitant. After all, the Wang family was now eyeing Shen Jingyu. If they proposed a replacement, it would probably still make Master Wang unhappy.
But if he asked Shen Jingyu to be with the boy from the Wang family, he would really be unwilling to do so.
Yu Jie'er's talent and appearance are now unrivaled in the capital. Although she is not yet of age, people often inquire about her marriage. It is not difficult to imagine what the situation will be like after she reaches age of 15.
If it was Shuyi, it wouldn't be considered unfair to her. Lord Wang and his wife were gentle in nature. Although there were many wives and concubines in the palace, Xiao Ge'er was also a kind-hearted man with a good temper. He would not treat her harshly.
"Please allow me to think about this matter again, but you are right. Shuyi has been away from home for a long time, and it is time to bring her back." Shen Jingchuan spoke in a deep voice. In a trance, he found that he could no longer remember what she looked like.
Seeing that he thought of Shen Shuyi, Qin Xuerong was unwilling but she knew that this was the best way now.
She saved Shen Shuyi's life back then because she anticipated that one day, her two sons and two daughters would inevitably be targeted by others. With Shen Shuyi, her legitimate daughter, around, she would always be able to protect her two daughters.
"Master, you don't have to rush to give Taifu a reply on this matter. I thought that after I bring Yijie back home, I would find an opportunity for her to meet Xiaoge. It would be best if the two children agreed to this matter. Taifu Wang can't say anything else."
In a moment, Qin Xuerong had already made a plan in her mind.
Wang Xiao coveted beauty, so he could find a way to make Jingyu pretend to be sick and disfigured. Then Wang Xiao would not agree to the marriage, and then he could push Shen Shuyi out, and the marriage would naturally come to fruition.
Shen Jingchuan nodded: "You are thoughtful. If we refuse, it will make the Master feel resentful. It is better for Xiao to have other ideas himself."
"Sister Yi has been away from home for four years. I don't know how her health is now. Have someone clean up her yard in the next few days and bring her back as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master, rest assured. Sister Yi's yard is cleaned by servants every day and has never been abandoned. It's just that Sister Yi has been away from home for the past few years without anyone to take care of her, so I'm afraid there are many inappropriate rules and etiquette..."
Shen Jingchuan didn't care much: "I know, you will have to worry about her after she returns home."
After hearing this, Qin Xuerong had a plan in mind. After all, even if Shen Shuyi's words and deeds were vulgar, Wang Xiao was not a good person either. If she was too outstanding, the master might not be able to bear to marry her to Wang Xiao.
Only if she is a little bit unbearable will Shen Jingchuan feel that marrying into the Wang family is a high status for her and he will not set his sights on Jingyu again.
Fortunately, Shen Shuyi really didn't know etiquette and wasn't presentable, which made her happy.
After Shen Jingchuan had dinner at Qin Xuerong's place, he went to the study. The room became quiet again, and Qin Xuerong called Cuizhu and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the boy just now?"
"The servant has gone back."
Qin Xuerong frowned and said, "Send a carriage and a few people to the Jade Buddha Temple. Tell Aunt Zhang to bring the person back to my house immediately. Hurry."
"Yes." Cuizhu was a little surprised and responded quickly.
After Cuizhu left, Qin Xuerong rubbed her temples with a headache. Sometimes it is not a good thing for a daughter to be too outstanding. A family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families, but it would be the most troublesome if all of these families are those that cannot be provoked.
Nanny Wang said, "Madam, Shen Shuyi behaves rudely and doesn't follow the rules. When the master sees her, will he think she is not worthy of the Wang family? Then he will change his mind."
Qin Xuerong sneered, "You don't understand this. She has been in the Jade Buddha Temple for four years. It is normal for her not to know the rules. The more she doesn't know the rules, the more the master will ask me to teach her. She still has more than a year to go before she reaches the age of marriage. She will naturally learn the rules."
Since Nanny Zhang said that she was now very smart, she had to let her know how capable she was, lest she become restless and start comparing herself with Jingyu and Jingzhen, which would cause trouble.
What's more, she and Shen Jingchuan have been married for many years, and no one knows him better than her.
The master has been stagnant in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for too many years. He wants to climb up more than anyone else, and the best way now is to let Sister Yu marry into the royal family.
Furthermore, Yu Jie'er grew up by his side all these years and was his favorite. In fact, he was more reluctant than anyone else to marry Yu Jie'er to that dissolute young man from the Wang family.

Nanny Zhang's problems became even more severe, but Shen Shuyi and Yuping concentrated on reading and practicing calligraphy.
After asking Chuntao about their reactions, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but sneer, "She is really patient, but she can afford it, and an old woman like me can afford it even more!"
Nanny Zhang looked at Chuntao and asked again, "You said before that Yuping would go to the forest to pick wild fruits every day?"
"Yes, it's been like this every morning these days. I can often pick up a bamboo basket and bring it back." Chuntao answered honestly.
Aunt Zhang sneered and said, "Come on, follow me to take a look."
When Nanny Zhang and a few others arrived, Yuping had just picked a small basket of wild fruits. The fruits were sour and not very tasty.
But she had always had some talent in cooking, and she thought that she could pick the wild fruits, wash them, cut them into pieces, boil them until they were soft, mash them, add some sugar, and boil them into sauce.
In this way, if the lady usually eats light food or has a poor appetite, the fruit jam will make the food taste sweet and sour and refreshing, and especially appetizing.
Of course, it can also be used for flushing. It has a fruity fragrance, which young ladies like very much.
Aunt Zhang glanced at the fruits in her basket and sneered, "How dare you steal berries from the temple!"
Yu Ping frowned and said, "Anyone can pick the wild fruits in the Jade Buddha Temple. Abbot..."
With a crisp sound, before she could finish her words, Nanny Zhang slapped Yu Ping hard on the face: "How dare you talk back!"
