Chapter 211 The Traitor of the Shen Family! (Part 2)
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly shocked. Madam Shen was indeed very prestigious! However, from her words just now, Jiang Chengfeng caught some very surprising information. He didn't expect that Madam Shen had entered the palace to pay homage to the emperor when she was young. It was really not simple!
Glancing at the silent crowd, Jiang Chengfeng secretly laughed. In this society where men are superior to women, it is rare to see a grown man being scolded by a woman to the point where he can't even raise his head!
Later, Jiang Chengfeng took advantage of Madam Shen's glance at everyone to secretly look at Madam Shen. Although Madam Shen is already over 30 years old, her skin is as white as snow, her figure is graceful, and she is still charming. The most important thing is that she has a queenly temperament with a bit of majesty in her grace. Tsk tsk——
"Shen Baichang, I invited you to the Shen family to be the steward because your grandfather and Old Master Shen are from the same clan! But what did you do? After coming to the Shen family, you did nothing all day, walked the dog and fought cocks, and even used inferior products as high-quality silk, ruining the reputation of the Shen family. Because of these things, I have forgiven you three times!"
"But you have failed to change despite repeated admonitions, which is disappointing! And now, you are even speaking wildly, humiliating the mother and daughter of the Shen family. If I don't punish you, how can I convince the public? Now I declare that you will be deprived of your right to manage the Shen family, and you will be severely punished with fifty strokes of the cane! Do you have any objection?"
Shen Baichang was so frightened that his face turned pale. Two servants rushed in and tried to pull Shen Baichang out, but Shen Baichang dodged them and shouted, "Get out! Don't touch me, you two slaves!"
Madam Shen was furious and shouted, "Drag him out!"
Then, two more servants rushed in, carrying Shen Baichang's limbs out of the meeting room. Not long after, Shen Baichang's pig-like wailing could be heard from outside the door.
Traitors should be punished most severely! Jiang Chengfeng shook his head secretly. He thought to himself that if it were him, he would definitely not receive such a light punishment. After all, Madam Shen still remembered their old friendship!
Madam Shen seemed not to have heard Shen Baichang's screams outside the door. She glanced at everyone and said loudly, "Don't worry about him! Just brainstorm and discuss how to take over the Fang family's cloth shop!"
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Dazhu, her eyes became much softer, and she chuckled, "Jiang Dazhu, come with me!"
After entering the adjacent ear room, Mrs. Shen got straight to the point and asked, "Jiang Dazhu, what do you think of Qingdie?"
Finally here! Jiang Chengfeng felt bitter. Could this be the legendary honey trap? Madam asked me so frankly about my opinion on Qingdie. Could it be that she wanted to bring me and Qingdie together? However, it seemed unreasonable for my mother-in-law to be the matchmaker!
Jiang Chengfeng smiled cleanly and innocently and said, "I think the Second Miss is very good! She is innocent, kind, smart, and most importantly, beautiful!"
Mrs. Shen smiled and continued, "Listen carefully, I'm asking what you think of her?"
The same question was asked again, but with a different meaning.
"That - Madam, you also know that the Second Miss and I are actually very good friends!" Jiang Chengfeng began to sweat on his forehead, thinking to himself that even if I am thick-skinned, if you launch a surprise attack, I will not be able to withstand it without any preparation!
Seeing Jiang Chengfeng's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Jiang Dazhu, this is the first time I see you so embarrassed!"
Flirting! Just naked flirting! Being flirted with by my mother-in-law is so embarrassing !
Jiang Chengfeng felt aggrieved, but pretended not to mind, and said with a smile: "Madam, in fact, everyone only sees my unruly appearance, but ignores my passionate heart and sincere feelings!"
Hearing Jiang Chengfeng's nonsense, Madam Shen immediately covered her mouth and chuckled. It took her a while to catch her breath and said, "Jiang Dazhu - I didn't believe Ruoyan's words about your eloquence before! Today, I believe it!"
Jiang Chengfeng was surprised that when Mrs. Shen laughed, her breasts kept shaking. Her firm and full breasts made his mouth dry. He swallowed secretly and thought to himself, if you don't mind, I will tell you jokes every day!
"By the way! Jiang Dazhui, where are you from? Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Mrs. Shen asked.
Why did the lady ask this question again? Could it be that the mother-in-law really was looking at her son-in-law? Jiang Chengfeng laughed and said, "I'm from southern Henan, and I'm an only child. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry!"
Madam Shen sighed and said, "How pitiful!"
After a pause, he added: "In fact, our Shen family is about the same as you!"
Jiang Chengfeng did not say anything, letting Madam Shen speak freely, and said: "Although Ruoyan and I have worked hard and have achieved some results, there is no one in the court to support us, and there is no man to support us at home. No matter how hard we work, we will still be laughed at!"
Madam Shen was crying with tears in her eyes. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the Shen family is really not easy. In this era of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, the status of businessmen is already humble. In addition, Madam Shen and Shen Ruoyan often show up in public for the sake of the family. Even if Madam Shen and her daughter are strong, they will inevitably cause controversy!
Jiang Chengfeng sighed, thinking that it was useless for you to tell me these things! Either you find a man quickly, or let the eldest lady find a live-in son-in-law, Qingdie, forget it - I can't marry into your Shen family anyway!
"Jiang Dazhu, I don't really have any other intention in telling you this! I just said it casually! Okay, let's get back to the point! I can see that Qingdie has a lot of feelings for you!"
Having said this, Mrs. Shen stopped talking and looked at Jiang Chengfeng thoughtfully, which made Jiang Chengfeng feel uneasy.
However, Jiang Chengfeng was very good at acting. He lowered his head and did not speak, as if he was in deep thought, or as if he was pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Jiang Chengfeng didn't say anything, so Madam Shen had to take the initiative and sighed, "Originally, I didn't agree with this matter! First of all, Qingdie is young, and it's not the best time to talk about marriage! Secondly, your status is not suitable for her. If it gets out, it will probably cause criticism!"
Jiang Chengfeng was immediately unhappy. What status or no status! I don't care about status the most! At worst, I won't be a servant anymore. I will leave the Shen family and become a rich man on my own!
Sensing the disdain in Jiang Chengfeng's eyes, Mrs. Shen chuckled and said, "But, as I said, this is what I thought before! As a mother, I have to plan carefully for my daughter. I hope you don't mind! However, now it seems that although you are a little frivolous, you still have some talent..."
"Moreover, he helped our Shen family overcome difficulties and took over all the cloth shops of the Fang family. His contribution to the Shen family is huge!"
