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

Chapter 100 Substitution

Counting the days carefully, it is time for Bai Ying to take the women of the Shen family to Lingxu Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Now, Shen Youhong is not the only one who is sick in the mansion. Shen Chuanhe is also lying on the bed. Bai Ying should have gone there to burn incense and pray more often.

So, what about Shen Ruyan?

"Could it be that the person that Manager Li met when he went to Lingxu Temple was my aunt?" Shen Qingyu sat down, still feeling that this matter was a little bit outrageous.

Even though Shen Ruyan had always been eyeing the Shen family's property, she was the wife of the Suzhou prefect after all, and was not in Jinling Prefecture all year round. So how did she do all these things?

However, it seems that the eldest aunt is also worried. She must have asked Manager Li to discuss how to resolve the matter and make sure that nothing goes wrong. If she is found out, she will be charged with crimes such as plotting to seize her mother's family property and deliberately destroying the new tea that is tribute to the court. Not only will Shen Chuanhe not let her go, but even Prefect Xiao will have to divorce her for the sake of his official reputation.

"Second Miss, we must be careful about this matter," Uncle Tian reminded in a low voice, "Everything is still just speculation at the moment. We don't have any evidence to prove who did it, not to mention that..."

"Besides, she is the eldest aunt of the Shen family, the wife of the prefect of Suzhou. We can't offend her, right?"

She took the teacup handed over by Xiangyun, took a sip and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​let's do this first. You should withdraw those people who are watching Manager Xu, so as not to alert the enemy. Also, Manager Jiang has already left the villa, so from now on, you will temporarily take over Manager Jiang's job."

Shen Qingyu is now far away from home and Shen Chuanhe has no control over her. In the past two days, she has bribed all the people in the tea house who could be bribed with money, and kept those who were loyal to her and disobeyed her, the Second Miss Shen. Anyway, Shen Chuanhe said that the affairs of the tea house in Yuntaishan would be left to her. If she doesn't take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and cultivate her own power, when will she do so?

Naturally, she would make good use of the five thousand taels of silver that she had swindled from Shen Chuanhe to win people's hearts.

"Thank you, Second Miss, for your appreciation."

Uncle Tian was overjoyed. Being the manager of the entire tea house was a really lucrative job. The Shen family was in the tea business, and every year when the tea was picked, the endless tea trees were piles of countless silver.

Moreover, among the many tea shop managers of the Shen family, the one in Yuntaishan is the most important.

Although he was only in this position temporarily, Uncle Tian was still very grateful to Shen Qingyu. Being able to gain the trust of the master, he would certainly not make any mistakes. "This old servant will live up to the Second Miss's high expectations and take good care of the villa for her."

He was not doing this for the Shen family. The Shen family had no favors towards him. The only person he was loyal to was Shen Qingyu.

After Mr. Jiang left, Uncle Tian became the manager of Yuntaishan Tea House.

On the surface, Uncle Tian's manager was recommended by Old Jiang, but those who know the inside story know that the entire Yuntaishan teahouse is now controlled by the second young lady, and Uncle Tian's manager was naturally appointed by the second young lady. Therefore, now the manager of the entire teahouse is in awe of Shen Qingyu, the second young lady.

The second young lady was not easier to fool than the master. The master did not know how to grow tea, but the second young lady did. When the master came, he just sat in the sedan chair, looked at the tea trees in the tea house from a distance, enjoyed the scenery and went back. But the second young lady was different. She actually condescended to ask the tea farmers for advice, which scared these managers so much that they dared not slack off anymore.

After late autumn, the weather becomes increasingly cold, especially at night. It is still okay during the day, but at night, the wind is so cold that it cuts your bones and sharpens your skin.

Back then, when Bai Ying gave birth to Shen Qingyu, she had a difficult labor, so after she was born, she was left to be taken care of by a wet nurse in the mansion. Bai Ying ignored her own daughter.

Due to the difficult delivery and the fact that Shen Qingyu had not taken good care of her body over the years, her health was not very good. Especially once she caught a cold, she would have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month and could not get out of bed.

After arriving at Yuntai Mountain, there was already a charcoal fire in her room. It was early winter, and Shen Qingyu had already wrapped herself in a thick fox fur coat when she went out. She had a cold body and was more afraid of the cold than most people.

"Second Miss, they are going too far!"

Shen Qingyu, who was holding a small hand warmer, looked up and saw Xiangyun coming over angrily, looking aggrieved, "It's fine that the mansion didn't allocate money to our villa, but now they even withheld the warm clothes for you, the second young lady!"

Isn't it obvious that these people who came to Yuntai Mountain are going to freeze to death?

Xiangyu was also very angry. "Who said it wasn't true? Half a month ago, those people in the mansion were very attentive to our Second Miss. They sent everything directly to us without our Second Miss saying anything. But in recent days, they have ignored us. Not to mention the monthly money in the other courtyard, even the charcoal they promised to send to our Second Miss has not appeared until now. They are deliberately letting our Second Miss fend for herself on the mountain."

Xiang He looked at Shen Qingyu timidly, "Second Miss, what should we do next?"

Shen Qingyu smiled calmly, as if she had expected the current situation. "Is the person in charge of the mansion now not my mother anymore?"

The three people looked at each other. Since they came to Yuntai Mountain, no one knew what was going on in the mansion.

But suddenly when they heard Shen Qingyu say this, they all became frightened. If the Madam doesn't take care of the affairs of the mansion, then who would be the mistress in charge of the mansion?

They were obviously about to face a disaster, so how could the Second Miss still smile?

Xiangyu was the first to react, but she was still shocked by her own guess, "Second Miss, could it be that the one who is taking care of the affairs of the mansion now is not the Madam, but Aunt Liu?"

But how is this possible? Madam is the rightful head of the Shen family. As long as Madam is around, how could it be Concubine Liu's turn? Besides, after what happened before, how could the master easily forgive Concubine Liu?

Shen Qingyu took out a letter she had just received. It was written to her by Aunt Xu, who was still in the mansion. It reported to her in detail everything that had happened in the Shen family over the past month.

Shen Youhong was seriously ill. Bai Ying was so busy taking care of Shen Youhong's affairs that she naturally couldn't take care of other things in the mansion. It was at this time that Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong took advantage of the situation and seized the power of the Shen family through Shen Chuanhe.

As soon as Aunt Liu became successful, she began to show off her power as the mistress of the house, and Shen Xitong was even more arrogant, thinking that she was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. She frequently attended banquets hosted by ladies of various aristocratic families and enjoyed great glory.
