Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

Chapter 139 Whose House

"Mrs. Nan Rong is still as charming as ever. I really envy her."

"Who says it's not true? When I met Madam Nan Rong a few years ago, she looked like this. Now, a few years have passed, and I'm old, but you see, Madam Nan Rong hasn't changed at all."

"No wonder Master Nanrong has been so caring towards Madam Nanrong for more than ten years."

Many ladies from aristocratic families sat at the banquet, trying to please Madam Nanrong in every way possible, with the aim of getting Madam Nanrong to take a fancy to their daughters and marry them to the Nanrong family.

Because Shen Ruyan was the wife of Suzhou Prefect Xiao, her seat was naturally closer to the front than other ladies from aristocratic families. Xiao Jinyue sat next to Shen Ruyan, so naturally she had certain advantages over other ladies from aristocratic families.

Shen Xitong was sitting at the last seat, closest to the door, so Shen Qingyu saw her as soon as she came in.

Compared with these aristocratic families with profound heritage, the Shen family is still far inferior. In addition, the Shen family started out in the tea business. Even if some aristocratic families are not as wealthy as the Shen family, their status is far above that of the Shen family.

"where did you go?"

Shen Xitong spoke in a bad tone and looked displeased as soon as she saw Shen Qingyu.

There was an inconspicuous seat next to the door. Even if one sneaked in and sat down, no one would even look at him. Shen Qingyu understood why Shen Xitong's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, as if she wanted to scold everyone she saw. She also glared at Xiao Jinyue not far away from her from time to time, with an unwilling look on her face.

Both of them were born as concubines, but Xiao Jinyue was much luckier than Shen Xitong. She was raised by her stepmother Shen Ruyan and was brought up as a legitimate daughter. Now, relying on her status as the prefect's daughter, she is superior to Shen Xitong. How could Shen Xitong not be jealous and go crazy?

Shen Qingyu was too lazy to pay attention to her and sat down in the empty seat next to her.

"Alas, even cousin Lian Jinyue can only sit in the middle. You, a concubine's daughter, should feel extremely honored to be able to sit on an equal footing with me."

After sitting down, Shen Qingyu began to mock Shen Xitong, which made her so angry that her face turned pale. Shen Qingyu smiled and stayed out of it.

"Xiangyun, those shrimps look good. Bring me some."

"Xiangyun, that fish paste soup seems quite good. Give me a bowl."

As if she was keeping herself out of the matter, Shen Qingyu told Xiangyun to pick up this dish and then that dish. She just focused on eating and ignored the dozens of disdainful glances cast at her by the ladies and young ladies of the aristocratic families next to her.

After all, who comes to Nanrong for a banquet just to eat? Not only will they lose their status, but they will also be laughed at.

But obviously, Shen Qingyu didn't take it seriously at all. He ate when it was time to eat and ignored those disdainful looks.

"Shen Qingyu, does our Shen family starve you on weekdays?" Shen Xitong sneered from the side, "If you want to embarrass yourself, don't drag me into it."

Shen Qingyu, this little bitch, is so shameless that she makes her look bad as well. When she returns home, she will make sure daddy punishes her severely.

Originally, several ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families nearby were staring at Shen Qingyu, and gradually, more and more ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families looked at Shen Qingyu, and some of them even covered their mouths and sneered, saying that this little girl from aristocratic family was a hopeless case of being a useless piece of mud, and that it was bad enough that she had never seen the world, and she also didn't know etiquette, which was really hilarious.

Some ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families began to whisper at the table and comment on Shen Qingyu.

"Whose lady is this?"

Madam Nan Rong, who was sitting at the main seat, also noticed the woman sitting at the last seat. She was wearing a plain silk dress with some wrinkles, and there was a swelling on her forehead with blood stains.

Shen Ruyan said with a little embarrassment, "Madam Nanrong, this is the legitimate daughter of my third brother's family, her name is Shen Qingyu."

When Shen Qingyu's name came out, it was like a bolt of thunder from the blue, causing all the ladies and young ladies from the noble families at the banquet to look at Shen Qingyu at the same time.

It was Shen Qingyu, the second young lady of the Shen family. Wasn’t she the woman who had been rumored to be involved with Young Master Nanrong during this period?

But she seemed to be under the age of marriage. When these ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families thought of the rumors in Jinling Mansion today, as well as what they had heard in the past about how stupid and plain-looking this Second Miss Shen was, they immediately sneered at Shen Qingyu with disgust on their faces.

The eldest daughter of the Shen family is actually like this. Not only is she average looking, but she is also unfaithful and has not even learned the basic virtues and appearance of a woman. Not to mention that she is a eldest daughter, even the maids from the Nanrong Mansion standing behind her look more like ladies from aristocratic families than she, the second daughter of the Shen family.

"Aunt, it was she who ruined cousin Nanrong's reputation." Liang Lan sat next to Mrs. Nanrong, her voice low and filled with anger.

"Lan'er, those are just rumors. Don't believe them."

Madam Nan Rong was well-maintained. She was nearly forty years old, but still had her charm. She had a smile on her face, but there was sarcasm in her smile. She comforted Liang Lan and said, "A little girl from the Shen family, who looks like this, Yan'er will not be attracted to her."

With her niece's talent and beauty, it would be just a matter of time before she became the young lady of the Nanrong Mansion. Moreover, the master had also said that if Nan Rongyan was willing, he could marry more women. But she didn't believe that Nan Rongyan was really not interested in women.

If he doesn't want the beautiful wife who is offered to him, he must be a fool. The master is so lustful, like father, like son. Nan Rongyan is just young now and doesn't know the bone-burning pleasure of sex. Once he tries it, he will definitely be like the master, with three wives and four concubines, hugging women left and right every day, and enjoying all the happiness of having many wives.

Even sitting at the last seat, she can find ways to attract so many people's attention. This yellow-haired girl Shen Qingyu is really not simple.

Shen Ruyan drank a glass of cold wine and suppressed the anger in her heart. She originally thought that Shen Xitong was the stumbling block that threatened Jin Yue's marriage into the Nanrong family, but now it seems that she has to guard against Shen Qingyu as well.

Fortunately, the yellow-haired girl Shen Qingyu has not yet reached the age of marriage, and Master Nanrong wants to discuss marriage now. Even if Shen Qingyu is very smart, can she delay Master Nanrong from getting married this year?

Logically speaking, if Shen Ruyan and Shen Xitong came in together, and if Shen Ruyan was willing to take the sisters Shen Xitong and Shen Qingyu to sit in the middle seats together, the people of the Nanrong family might not necessarily stop them.

But when it was time to sit down, Shen Ruyan left Shen Xitong behind and only took her daughter to sit down, leaving Shen Xitong so angry that she just stared blankly.

When sending generous gifts to the Nanrong Mansion, Shen Ruyan was eager to be tied to the Shen family, but once she had used them up, she hurriedly kicked them away.
