Daming female local tyrant

Shen Wan sat in the same carriage with Mama Xia, and heard Mama Xia talk about meeting Xiao Yanping, the second roommate of the Xiao family.

Mama Xia told Shen Wan that after Xiao Yanping heard Mama Xia's request for cooperation, she did not immediately reply to Mama Xia, saying that she had to discuss it with his father before she could give Mama Xia an answer.However, when she spoke, she paid attention to Xiao Yanping's expression, and felt that he was a little moved.Therefore, she guessed that Shen Wan's request for a second room was likely to be agreed.

"As long as the people in the second room are willing to help me, the Xiao family is not monolithic, so it is not so difficult to make peace with Xiao Yulang. However, we have to think of a perfect plan, no matter what the Xiao family does, we must be able to deal with it freely."

"What the girl said is that the old man just felt sorry for the girl, so he came out of Xiao's house. When he returned to Shen's house, he might have to face some troubles again."

"Mom, don't worry, I can handle it. I can even subdue them and make them docile. In the future, I not only want to be my own family, but also Shen's family."

"Being the home of the Shen family, but the patriarch..."

The implication of Xia's unfinished words was that the patriarch of the Shen family is still alive and well, how could he agree to let Shen Wan be the head of the Shen family.

Even though Shen Wan is his eldest granddaughter, she is not the eldest grandson after all, and does not have the right to let nature take its course.

The customary rule of the famous families here in Jinling is that if there is no man in the eldest house, and the daughter of the first son is from Heli, she has outstanding abilities, has made great contributions to the family, and the clansman recommends her to take charge of the family affairs, then she Only then can I be in charge of the house.But this daughter from the first line can only be the head of the family until the end of her life. If she has an heir, then her heir can compete with other members of the clan for the position of head of the family after her death.If she had no heirs, her clan would meet together and elect another most qualified person to take the place of head of the family.

As the head of the prominent families in Jinling, the Shen family has many members.

Shen Xiang, the patriarch of the clan alone, has two sons. Shen Wan's father, Shen Chang, is the eldest son. He and his wife and concubines have two sons, although they are younger than Shen Wan, especially Shen Wan's younger brother, Shen Shisi. , is regarded as the most qualified person in the clan to take over the position of patriarch in the future.

Unless he became the patriarch but not in charge of the family, and gave Shen Wan the power to be the head of the family, Shen Wan would be able to fulfill her wish.

But Shen Shisi was willing to do this, but his second uncle, who was also the heir of the clan house, did not necessarily support this approach.

In particular, his second uncle gave birth to a son, Shen Shilian, who was only one year younger than his sister, Shen Wan, and was the oldest son and grandson of the clan.

Shen Shilian got married this year, and his wife is already pregnant, and he is about to add someone to the Shen family.Shen Wan's younger brother, Shen Shisi, is only 14 years old and still studying.Comparing the two, Shen Shilian still has a certain advantage, he can be regarded as a strong contender for the future patriarch of the Shen family clan.

Therefore, Mother Xia felt that Shen Wan wanted to be the home of the Shen family, starting from Shen Wan's grandfather, that was an obstacle.

Shen Wanyu scratched her forehead lightly with her fingers, and said leisurely: "My grandfather? He has a secret that no outsider knows about, but I do."

The secret that could blackmail the head of the Shen family, even if Mother Xia was Shen Wan's wet nurse and had a close relationship with Shen Wan, she also knew that this secret was too important, and she shouldn't ask at all.

Unless Shen Wan is willing to tell her, but at present it seems that Shen Wan obviously has no such plan.

"The old man will just wait for the girl's good news." Mother Xia said respectfully.

This secret is only known to Shen Wan, who was reborn at the age of 72 in her previous life. In her previous life, she didn't even know that Xiao Yulang had an affair with Tang Duanshu, let alone her grandfather, Shen Xiang, the head of the Shen family. The secret is gone.

Shen Wan is sure that with such a secret, her grandfather will stand by her side, support her to reconcile, and even support her to become the head of the Shen family in the future.

Or others don't understand, after Shen Wan and Xiao Yulang reconciled, wouldn't it be nice to go back to the Shen family to live a leisurely life, be a rich woman and not worry about everything?Why do you want to be the head of the Shen family, working so hard for the benefits of the Shen family, how tired you are.

Shen Wan, who has lived a new life, has gained a life experience. As a woman, she must obtain the power she can get to the greatest extent in order to protect the person she wants to protect.

In the previous life, Jinglan was sent to Shentang instead of her, but she couldn't protect Jinglan. Isn't that the most profound lesson?

On the way, Shen Wan asked the coachman to drive the car to the back street of Confucius Temple, Xia's mother asked her what she was doing there, didn't she just go to see those two maids yesterday?

"Go there for a meal, and I'll take them back to Shen's house together."

"..."

Xia's mother felt that Shen Wan paid too much attention to the two maidservants, which was different from Shen Wan she knew. She couldn't figure out why, but she didn't ask.

When Jing Lan and the others saw Shen Wan coming, they also brought Mama Xia, An Chun and An Dong with them. There were more people than yesterday, so they were naturally surprised.

All the servants in the house came out to greet Shen Wan, and Shen Wan said that she would leave after lunch, and just let them cook some appetizers.

She went to rest in the women's building on the last floor of the house, and still called Jing Lan to serve her.

Jing Lan massaged Shen Wan's shoulders and neck for Shen Wan who was sitting on the armchair, and couldn't help but ask her in a low voice if she was thinking about the crispy rice she made, so she came again.

Shen Wan could hear that she was joking with herself, she bent her lips, and said jokingly: "Yes, I finished eating the few catties of crispy rice you gave me yesterday, it was so delicious, I thought about it again Here it comes. What, are you going to cook for me right now? If you don’t hurry up, I’m afraid you won’t be able to cook it when I leave.”

Jing Lan didn't believe that she could really finish eating several catties of crispy rice by herself. If it really disappeared, it would probably be given away.

Thinking of Shen Wan giving away the crispy rice she worked so hard to make, and even jokingly saying that she finished eating it herself, Jing Lan was not very happy, she didn't say a word, and continued to work dully.

However, because she was in a bad mood, it was inevitable that her hands would be heavier, Shen Wan finally couldn't help but hissed, and looked back at her.

The hissing sound reminded Jing Lan that her hands were heavy, so she hurriedly relaxed her strength.

Seeing her expression on her face, Shen Wan could probably think of what she wanted to write, so she pursed her lips and said softly: "Can't you hear that I'm joking with you? You can just joke, I'll take it seriously ? You make me those rice crackers, I’ll have to eat them for a month or so. Take them back and treat them to Ruyu.”

Hearing that Shen Wan gave the crispy rice to that tricky and harsh Xiao Ruyu, Jing Lan curled her lips.

"However, she ate very little, she said she was not used to it." Shen Wan added.

"If the girl likes it, I'll make it for you tomorrow, and you can save a few catties when you come next time." Jing Lan became happier.

"Okay, you don't have to rub it for me." Shen Wan stretched out a hand to pat Jing Lan's hand on her shoulder, "Come on, sit in front of me."

Jing Lan went to move a black lacquered drum stool, sat in front of Shen Wan, looked at her, and asked her, "Girl, do you have anything to say to me?"

Shen Wan nodded, and began to say in a harmonious voice: "After dinner in a while, you and Cuizhu will follow me back to Shen's house, so you don't want to make delicious rice dumplings here, go back to Shen's house, I will I will tell the people in the small kitchen that you can make crispy rice whenever you want.”

"Go back to Shen's house?" Jing Lan was slightly startled, "I thought I was going back to Xiao's house?"

"You won't go back to Xiao's house in the future."

"Girl, are you going to leave me and Cui Zhu in the Shen family?"

"I won't go back to Xiao's house in the future, I will stay in Shen's house, and you will still serve me at Shen's house."

"..."

Jing Lan was a little dazed, looking at Shen Wan, she didn't quite understand what she meant by staying in Shen's house if she said she couldn't go back to Xiao's house, how could a married daughter live in her mother's house forever?

Shen Wan stared at Jing Lan's clear eyes and explained: "I'm going to make peace with Xiao Yulang, and I won't go to Xiao's house anymore."

"Heli?" At this moment, Jing Lan was really taken aback, she knew that the word "heli" in modern times meant divorce.

Divorce is a big event for a woman in both ancient and modern times, why didn't Shen Wan mention it before.

She wanted to know why Shen Wan reconciled with Xiao Yulang, was it because of the rumored concubine?Shen Wan disagreed with Xiao Yulang taking a concubine, so she wanted to divorce him.

In modern times, if a woman doesn't want a man to mess with a mistress and want a divorce, that's a legitimate reason.But in ancient times, this reason was untenable. If you feel upset, if you want to use it for divorce, most people will say that there is something wrong with this woman.

"Excuse my rashness, girl, can you tell me why you reconciled with Young Master Sun of the Xiao family?" Jing Lan looked at Shen Wan carefully and said.

Before Shen Wan succeeded in catching the adulterer, she didn't tell Jing Lan the truth because she was worried that her relationship with Jing Lan was not deep enough. If Jing Lan knew about it, if she accidentally or intentionally leaked something, her plan would fail.

Originally thought it would take some time to successfully catch Xiao Yulang having an affair with Tang Duanshu, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yulang was lucky enough to be caught on the first day after returning from Yangzhou.

Now, the big stone in Shen Wan's heart fell to the ground, and she was able to tell the truth to Jing Lan, not to mention that she had the desire to confide in Jing Lan.

"I want to hear it, so let me tell you..." Shen Wan then told Jing Lan in detail how she caught Xiao Yulang having an affair with Tang Duanshu in He's Tea House yesterday.

After Jing Lan heard this, she immediately opened her almond eyes to express her anger. She scolded Xiao Yulang for being disgusting and shameless. When something like this happened, of course she had to make peace with that scumbag.

However, she immediately expressed her worry, worried that Shen Wan would not get divorced easily.

Because in this era when men have three wives and four concubines, it is immoral for a man from a prominent family to steal someone, but it is not a necessary reason for divorce.

Shen Wan told Jing Lan not to worry about herself, she could handle everything by herself, she just wanted to ask Jing Lan to support her and leave.

Jing Lan said that of course she supported Shen Wan's reconciliation with Li, even a woman can't tolerate that kind of thing, no matter what happens in the future, let's reconcile and leave first.

"It's good for you to think like this. I think the same as you." Shen Wan looked at Jing Lan and said with a slight smile. After a pause, she asked Jing Lan if this was good news.

Jing Lan nodded heavily and grinned: "Yes!"

If Shen Wan reconciled, when she teased Jing Lan again, Jing Lan felt that there would be no pressure to accept it.For a beauty who has regained her single status, whether it's her who flirts with Jing Lan or Jing Lan who flirts with her, it has nothing to do with anyone else, it's purely a matter between two people.
