Chapter 63: Cold and Tranquil, Wispy
The girls in the brothels all use perfume. Although each one smells good, when they are piled together every day, the fragrance becomes mixed and the good-smelling perfume becomes suffocating and vulgar.
The smell on Shen Ning's body is very faint, almost imperceptible on normal days. Now that I'm close to him, I can only smell a very faint hint.
It is not the scent of flowers, nor the scent of powder, but it is cool and tranquil, subtle and very alluring.
It doesn't seem to be smoked, but more like a woman's natural body fragrance.
The ones that haven't been contaminated with those messy things smell good.
Tao Ji was thinking randomly, hesitating whether to really sleep here tonight. In fact, she had only been saying sweet words to tease Yuzhu and the others before, and had never thought of really sleeping with them. She came over in the middle of the night just to provoke them.
However, at this moment, Shen Ning, who was lying on the side, slowly opened her eyes. She did not move, nor did she even turn her head.
Those clear eyes looked particularly deep at night, and Tao Ji was frightened to the point of freezing.
Then Shen Ning closed his eyes.
Tao Ji was confused. Was he awake or not? He should have seen her when he opened his eyes, so why did he close them again?
Tao Ji stood there motionless, feeling extremely nervous and frightened.
Finally, she slowly left the bed and disappeared into the night in less than a moment.
"Ah."
In the darkness of the night, a mocking voice drifted away, barely audible.
The next morning, Shen Ning had just gotten up when he heard Tao Ji making Yuzhu jump in anger.
Tao Ji was so proud of her success in stealing the house, but she couldn't say it out loud. So she tried every way to touch Yuzhu's sore spot. She enjoyed watching her get so angry that she couldn't do anything against her.
Little girl, you are still a little too young to fight with her.
"Miss, wuwuwu..." Yuzhu cried and looked for Shen Ning for comfort. It was so infuriating. This man was so annoying.
Shen Ning hurriedly comforted her, telling her not to make the girl angry.
Tao Ji was actually quite guilty when she saw Shen Ning coming out. She didn't even dare to look into Shen Ning's eyes. She also secretly looked at her during breakfast, but she found that Shen Ning didn't look strange at all, and her expression didn't change, as if she knew nothing about what happened last night.
Tao Ji didn't feel guilty at all, she just loved to play, and even if Shen Ning caught her climbing into her bed, she could still tease her with a smile.
But now I don’t know whether Shen Ning knows it or not, especially since I was actually scared away by her look last night. I always have an indescribable strange and weird feeling in my heart.
I want to bring it up, but I'm inexplicably afraid of something.
Tao Ji was thinking about something and ate carelessly. When she realized that her vision was a little blurry, it was too late to react.
"Boom!"
The man fell on the table.
Yuzhu was startled: "Wow! What happened to her?"
Liuying was not surprised. She took out a rope from somewhere and handed it to her: "Don't you hate her? Tie her up and don't let her run away."
Yuzhu: “…” It seemed like something had happened that she didn’t know about, but she was extremely unhappy about kidnapping someone.
Yuzhu had no experience in tying up people, so she specifically asked for help from Mo Lin, who was good at tying up prey.
If they can tie up a wild boar, how much more can they tie up a mere girl?
Shen Ning let Yuzhu tie the man up and put him on the couch. He didn't do anything else. After a night, all his emotions had calmed down. Now he had to get down to business.
Shen Ning had already let Liuying take charge of the affairs in the mansion, so it didn't matter much whether Aunt Liang left or not.
When Liuying was too busy, she would ask a smart maid and an older old woman to follow her. Together, the three of them were always able to keep things stable in the mansion.
But things in Butler Liang's hands are not so easy.
Butler Liang did not have so much power before. He worked with Aunt Liang to manage the Shen family's residence and personal relationships. It was not until Shen Ning's father passed away and her mother stopped taking care of things that these matters fell into the hands of Butler Liang.
After Mrs. Shen passed away, Shen Ning did not allow any relatives to touch the family property. In order to protect these riches, she had to rely on Butler Liang to come forward. Eventually, Butler Liang became the person who could manage the Shen family's house and shops.
Shen Ning gradually sidelined him and now took over all the affairs. She could handle the accounting matters, but she really couldn't handle many things that required the housekeeper's intervention.
For example, delivering holiday gifts to each household and arranging for other families to send gifts cannot be done by Shen Ning, the head of the family, in person.
If you want to give a gift on ordinary holidays, the head of the family has to come in person, otherwise others will definitely look down on your family.
Shen Ning could also let Liuying serve as the housekeeper, but it would be fine if she stayed at home. But if she went out, Liuying, as a girl, would inevitably suffer some losses and be looked down upon.
She couldn't bear to let her down.
Shen Ning thought about it over and over again, but couldn't find a solution for a while.
Butler Liang left so suddenly that she was a little caught off guard.
Shen Ning was worried about not having a housekeeper, while the Wei family was in turmoil because of the appearance of two housekeepers.
Shen Shu woke up and firmly asked housekeeper Liang to help her manage her dowry. However, after just one look, housekeeper Liang found that the shops under the dowry had various deficits and the silver in the warehouse did not add up.
Can the Wei family admit that they used their daughter-in-law's dowry? Of course not.
But the money had already been spent, and they couldn't get it back. The only way was to make Shen Shu admit that it was her own money that was used to support the family, and she would not ask for it back.
Wei Congwen was angry all night last night and only calmed down after being comforted by Yu'er several times. He wanted to divorce.
It is said that one should marry a virtuous wife. The wife does not have to be the one you like, but she must be virtuous, otherwise there will be unrest in the family.
Now he is in unrest at home.
Although he didn't like Shen Ning, if he had married Shen Ning, he might not be facing the predicament he is in today.
Now every time Shen Shu saw him, she cried sadly and felt aggrieved, but Wei Congwen somehow couldn't feel sympathy or soften his heart, instead he could only feel annoyed.
What makes people unable to stop is to desire something but not be able to get it. Because they have never obtained it, everything seems beautiful and regretful to them.
However, once you get it, take off that beautiful outer layer and its flaws will be exposed.
The passion faded and it became boring.
He told his parents about his intention to divorce, thinking that since they hated Shen Shu so much they would definitely support him, but he was unexpectedly wrong.
"Can't leave!"
Wei Changgeng was firm and resolute.
"Why?" Wei Congwen didn't understand why he would object. He clearly said last night that Shen Shu was a disaster.
Wei Changgeng had an unpleasant expression, his cloudy eyes were filled with calculation and ambition: "Censor Lu's mother is seriously ill, I'm afraid she won't survive more than a month. If his mother dies, he will definitely go home to mourn, and the position of the Imperial Censor will be vacant."
Wei Congwen's mind was moved, but he still had some concerns: "But if Your Majesty wants me to stay, I can replace the months with the days. I only need to observe mourning for 36 days to replace the three years."
Wei Changgeng narrowed his eyes and said, "So, he must not come back after these thirty-six days."
Wei Changgeng was the Chief Censor, a third-rank official, and he had been in this position for seven or eight years.
Although he was only one step away from being the Grand Censor, all official positions in the court were assigned to specific people. Unless the person in front of him left, the person behind him could not expect to be promoted. Another Chief Censor had died of old age in this position.
He didn't want to be a third-rank official all his life, he wanted to be promoted, and now there was such an opportunity, he had to seize it.
Wei Congwen: "What does this have to do with my marriage?"
Wei Changgeng had a shrewd look on his face: "There are three imperial gifts in the Shen family's dowry. With these three things, your father will be able to climb up another level. So you can't divorce, and you have to make Shen Shu willingly give you these three things."
At this point, he could not help but get angry again: "Shen Ning put these three things into the dowry, presumably to help our Wei family rise to prominence, but it's a pity that they were all ruined by you, a bastard."
"Look at what's going on in our family. If you had wanted to marry Shen Ning, our family would never be like this now."
Wei Congwen regrets it now.
He doesn't like Shen Ning, but now he is tired of facing Shen Shu. If he were to choose, he would choose Shen Ning now.
Even if there is no love, she must be a virtuous wife.
But now he can't even get a divorce, and has to continue to be entangled with Shen Shu.
"I see."
Wei Congwen was thinking about how to appease Shen Shu, but he didn't know that with the presence of Butler Liang's family, he would never be able to achieve his wish and this family would only become more and more chaotic.
