After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p
Chapter 4 The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"Sister..." After finishing the meal, Shen Shu came to Shen Ning and hesitated for a long time before uttering: "Sister, can you please not get married?"
The corners of Shen Ning's lips twitched slightly, but fortunately the heat from the teacup concealed the sarcasm in her eyes.
"What's wrong? Can't bear to leave me?"
What she said was offensive, but when she saw Shen Shu's expression froze, she felt much better.
Shen Shu bit her lip and smiled awkwardly: "Of course I can't bear to leave my sister. If you get married, you will belong to someone else's family..."
What she cares about is not other people's families, but the Wei family, right?
Shen Ning sipped her tea elegantly and sighed helplessly, "I can't bear to leave you either, but the Wei family's marriage was arranged by my father, so I have to abide by it. I am the eldest sister, and this is my responsibility. I can't let anyone go in my place."
Shen Shu's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly looked up at Shen Ning, seeing that she seemed to be just expressing her feelings casually.
But the speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart, not to mention that Shen Shu's intentions were not pure to begin with.
Yes, my sister didn’t like Brother Wei that much. It was her that Brother Wei liked, so why couldn’t she go instead of my sister?
The engagement was between the Wei family and the Shen family. She was also Dad's daughter, so the engagement could have been between her and Big Brother Wei.
Letting her marry him wouldn't be the best of both worlds!
"Sister!" Shen Shu was so excited that her voice rose unconsciously: "Can you let me..."
Shen Ning took out a gold-stamped notebook and opened it. Hearing this, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Her eyes were gentle and she was smiling faintly. At first glance, she looked like a very patient and gentle elder sister, but at this moment Shen Shu finally noticed her elder sister's appearance.
She knew that her elder sister was good-looking, but in order to appear more mature, Shen Ning always dressed in an old-fashioned way, which made people ignore her appearance.
But today's outfit is like a pearl whisk, illuminating the room.
At this moment, Shen Shu actually felt jealous, jealous of her elder sister's gorgeous beauty.
She thinks everything she sees is beautiful. If Brother Wei sees such an elder sister, will he change his mind?
No, Brother Wei likes me. He said she is the kindest and cutest.
"Sister...sister, what are you looking at?"
Shen Ning lowered her eyebrows, and under the light, the hazy color made her look more gentle, peaceful and graceful.
"My parents prepared the dowry list for me long ago."
After she finished speaking, she said with regret: "I have a lot of things given by the emperor here, which cannot be exchanged for money, but it will be more respectable to marry into the Wei family."
A royal gift!!
The family had not received many gifts from the emperor before, but Shen Shu thought of the blood coral, kingfisher feather headdress, and the pair of jade lions that were sent when the imperial edict arrived three years ago. Those were great things that money could not buy. They were not only precious, but also honorable and dignified.
He clenched his palms tightly, feeling upset.
My elder sister has a dowry prepared by my parents, and she also wants to take away the things given by the emperor. What about her?
She is sixteen years old and can get married, so why is there nothing?
The resentment was about to solidify into substance, and it was difficult for Shen Ning to pretend not to see it.
His eyes fell on the name and birth date written on the first page of the dowry list - Shen Shu.
How could she not consider her sister's lifelong affairs when she was the blood relative whom she had worked so hard and tried her best to protect?
He was afraid that the second wife would cause trouble after he handed over the power of the household, so he naturally had to make sure she was properly settled before she got married.
Things bestowed by the emperor cannot be bought or sold, and if they are damaged the person will be held accountable. It is an honor, but also a shackle. Shen Shu could not keep it, so the list of Shen Shu's dowry included the Shen family's most profitable shop and the farm with the best feng shui, as well as many other trivial things.
Originally, she was going to give these to her younger sister on the eve of her wedding.
She also gave it in her previous life, but Shen Shu didn't even look at it and walked away with a sullen face. She didn't show up when Shen Ning got married the next day. Later... the dowry list was not used.
-------------
Shen Ning is very busy every day. He has to take charge of all the affairs in the mansion. He cannot make any mistakes inside or outside, and he also has to be on guard against the second wife.
It's time to settle the accounts in the shop, and I have to inspect the farm when I have some free time.
It’s hard to start a business, but even harder to stay in business.
Especially as a woman with a lot of burdens behind her, she dared not relax at any moment.
Shen Ning was looking through the account books, thinking back to the cases of embezzlement that would be discovered later. The shopkeepers under her were all bullying her because she was young.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. She knew that she should give people appropriate benefits, but these people were too greedy.
Yuzhu came in from outside with tea: "Miss, Master Wei is here."
Shen Ning looked up and could see from her window a man standing in the corridor waiting. He was wearing an indigo spring shirt and had a bamboo-like figure. He looked a little thin, but he had the bookish air of a scholar and was very gentle and refined.
Wei Congwen.
Disgust surged in his heart. Apart from the Shen family, the only person who could make Shen Ning so disgusted that he wanted to vomit was Wei Congwen.
A sanctimonious hypocrite and a hypocritical coward.
"Ask her what she's doing here."
She didn't want to see this person.
Yuzhu went out in a hurry and came back after talking for a while: "Miss, Madam Wei asked him to deliver something to you personally. It looks like a booklet to me."
Shen Ning didn't let him in, got up and walked out.
When she stepped out of the door, she saw a young Wei Congwen. He had a handsome appearance. Although he looked thin, his scholarly air gave him more temperament, and he could be called a young talent.
Seeing Shen Ning coming out, he bowed slightly: "Miss Shen."
Every word and action of his is self-discipline and proper manners. Anyone who sees it will say that he has good manners.
How hypocritical.
"Master Wei."
Wei Congwen handed over a booklet: "This is what my mother asked me to give you."
Shen Ning took it and looked at it, then laughed out loud.
Wei family motto?
"What does this mean, Auntie?"
Wei Congwen glanced at Shen Ning's face and explained, "My mother said that you will be the daughter-in-law of our Wei family soon. Naturally, you should read the family precepts and learn the rules, so that you can better integrate into the Wei family."
Does Shen Ning remember this happening in her previous life? It seems so, but the wedding day was so irritating that she can't remember these little things clearly.
But at this moment she was really angry.
"Before I even married, my aunt started to set rules for me. If Master Wei is not satisfied with me, Shen Ning, he can just withdraw." Even if the mother-in-law wants to show off her power to her daughter-in-law, she should at least wait for her daughter-in-law to enter the house first, right? She is so anxious, is she afraid that she will not live to see that day?
Wei Congwen looked at her, struggle flashed in his eyes, but he finally calmed down, and even persuaded her in a gentle voice: "Don't let your imagination run wild, mother didn't mean that, you also know that my father is a rather strict person, she is doing this for your own good."
If Wei Congwen dared to say that he wanted to cancel the engagement, Shen Ning would still look at him with higher regard.
He secretly hooked up with Shen Shu, pretended to be nice to her in public, and even said he was doing it for her own good when he slapped her in the face.
Wanting this and that is so hypocritical.
Shen Ning was so angry that the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
She suppressed her anger and let Yuzhu send Wei Congwen away. When she returned to the study, her palms were almost broken by her pinching.
"Don't be impatient, a little impatience can ruin a big plan, don't be impatient at this moment..."
I recited the Diamond Sutra and the Heart Purification Mantra several times, but I still couldn't calm down.
Why should she endure this? She has already died once, why should she endure this humiliation again?
