Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist
Chapter 132 Protect Them
"Impossible... Sister, you are lying, right?"
Shen Lingwei looked at her with a hint of regret. "Our family has always valued cultural literacy and education. Every female member is proficient in various arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. You are the only exception. You have never learned any real skills. Have you never thought about the reason? Ever since you were chosen to become Brother Zixian's wife, your fate was doomed to be short-lived. Why would the old lady bother to cultivate such a hopeless person? In fact, the Jingcheng Marquisate agreed to this marriage only because of the distribution of benefits, not the choice itself. How dare you still imagine that you can always maintain such a position? Ask yourself if you have the ability to take on such a heavy responsibility?"
Recalling her childhood, whenever she and her sister were learning a skill or knowledge together, her grandmother would always take her hand and gently say, "My dear granddaughter, your mother passed away too early. You are the one she loved the most. Don't work so hard to learn to read and write. It's painful to watch."
For a long time, everyone has been so tolerant and pampering to her.
As a result, the entire Shen family produced a useless person like her.
I used to think it was a kind of luck, but now I know it’s just a tool.
The key bond that firmly binds the interests of the two families together.
No wonder the Wei family never had a favorable impression of her but still agreed to this marriage arrangement. Because they knew very well that this title was just a temporary role obtained in exchange for her life.
Now the truth is revealed, but unfortunately, it is too late and she is about to leave this world.
"Does that mean all the dowry I brought will eventually fall into the hands of the Wei family?"
She still felt a little confused. The Shen family valued the dowry so much, why would they agree to give it to the Wei family?
Shen Lingwei smiled slyly and said, "Sister, haven't you heard yet? The emperor has no children, and it is said that he wants to appoint Prince Yongning'an as the crown prince. The Wei family can use your dowry as a bargaining chip to arrange for Brother Zixian's sister to become Prince Yongning'an's principal wife. In this way, the Wei family will be able to give birth to a queen in the future, and our Shen family will also benefit from it."
"They are now discussing how to divide your dowry. My dear sister, your dowry is truly generous! When my eldest sister got married, she only had ten thousand taels of silver as a dowry, while you have hundreds of thousands of taels. How can you not be tempted by this?"
No wonder everyone in the Shen family rushed over to visit her as soon as there was a little movement here. They didn't really care about her health, but were just eyeing her dowry.
This made her feel extremely unhappy and she was unwilling to accept such an unfair result...
what……
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Muxue woke up again, and the first thing she saw was Yutang's worried look.
"Yutang, where is Nanny Yu now?"
Yutang was originally a maid from the Song Mansion. She was loyal to her master in her previous life, but no one knew what fate this poor little girl would have after her death.
Nanny Yu was Shen Muxue's wet nurse and also a servant brought from the Song Mansion. She loved her like her own flesh and blood. The two of them were the few trustworthy people in this house.
Yu Tang quietly wiped away the tears from her eyes and replied, "The young lady fainted from being frightened by a vicious dog. The old lady ordered Yu Ma to kneel for a day as punishment for failing to take good care of her. I, a humble person, have also failed to fulfill my duty, so I am punished to kneel for two hours. However, Madam Yu told me to take care of the young lady first, which is the most important thing."
No wonder Shen Muxue didn't see these two people when she woke up for the first time. It turned out that she was punished to kneel.
She struggled to sit up and said, "I want to see Nanny Yu. Please ask someone to bring her here."
As I watched Yutang go to look for Nanny Yu, a feeling of guilt welled up in my heart.
The Song family had sent many servants before, but they came from merchant families and were treated coldly in the Shen Mansion.
Shen Muxue's maternal grandparents were businessmen, so she deliberately kept a distance from these servants.
He even saw them being bullied but turned a blind eye and never spoke up for them, which resulted in many servants leaving the Shen Mansion.
Only two loyal people, Yu Ma and Yu Tang, always stayed by Shen Muxue's side and never left even when they were ostracized in the mansion.
After her rebirth, she was determined to protect them and rebuild her relationship with her maternal family.
Her previous ignorance made her alienate her close ones and make her feel that scholars and officials were more noble.
Nanny Yu was supported in and cried as soon as she saw Shen Muxue: "Miss, I'm so glad you're okay. Otherwise, how would I face your mother?"
Shen Muxue's eyes were slightly red. She suppressed the anger and guilt in her heart and comforted her, saying, "Don't cry anymore, Mammy. I'm fine. I will be more careful in the future. You've been kneeling for a long time. Go and rest."
At this moment, Nanny Zhou, who was standing beside the old lady, interrupted, "Alas, my lady, you can't let Nanny Yu rest now. The old lady demands that you kneel for a full day, not even a moment less. If you ask her to forgive her, people with good sense will praise your kindness, but those without will think you're unruly and dare to disobey the old lady's orders."
Since her mother was from a business family, Shen Muxue was most afraid of people saying that she didn't know etiquette. Whenever she wanted to do something, if she heard that it was not in accordance with etiquette, she would be timid and worried about being laughed at.
This time is no exception.
Faced with what Nanny Zhou said, Shen Muxue hesitated for a moment, and this was exactly the reaction that Nanny Zhou expected. She showed a hint of contemptuous smile.
This young lady is so easy to control after all.
Then, Madam Zhou said, "Our young lady is the daughter of a scholarly family. How could she be influenced by a merchant family? In my opinion, since Madam Yu is from the Song family, her behavior is not as well-behaved as that of our third-class maids. Let the old lady teach her a lesson so that she will remember it."
The same method was still used. The Shen family always belittled the Song family's origin, and even their servants were regarded as worthless.
In the past, Shen Muxue was always afraid that if she stood up for the Song family, she would be implicated in the "bad reputation" of a businessman.
But after experiencing rebirth, everything is different.
She had been foolish in her last life, but she would never make the same mistake again in this one.
"I don't care what the old lady says. Tell her right now and let her discipline me. Now that you've disobeyed my orders, I can punish you directly without informing the old lady. Madam Yu, I give Madam Zhou thirty slaps to thank her for being so considerate and thoughtful of me."
Nanny Zhou looked at Shen Muxue in surprise, wondering when did the young lady become like this? Could it be that something went wrong in her brain after being scared unconscious by the dog?
If she took action against Madam Zhou, she was afraid that she would be punished twice as much when the young lady woke up, so she hesitated.
"Madam, don't worry. I saw my mother when I was unconscious. She told me to protect you. Anyone who dares to bully you is a bad person."
"Really?"
Madam Zhou was still skeptical, but Yutang could no longer contain herself and said anxiously, "Madam, you've been kneeling for so long, you must be exhausted. Your hands must be weak. Let me do it for you."
Shen Muxue smiled and nodded in agreement.
