Chapter 22 Why isn’t it dark yet?
Madam Shen was about to snatch the things from Jingque, but Song Shiwei stopped her and said, "Mother, I spent six thousand taels of silver to redeem this land deed from Yuelai Bank.
According to the laws of our Nanli, the ownership of this land deed belongs to me.
I went to the government office to register and changed my name to my own, which is reasonable and legal.
Besides, aren't we a family? Does it matter whether the name on the deed is Shen or Song? Don't you think so? "
When Old Madam Shen saw that Jingque had gone far away, she stared at Song Shiwei with wide eyes, pointed at her and said, "You...you did it on purpose!"
Song Shiwei looked puzzled: "What do you mean by intentional?"
"You just want to seize the title deed of our Shen family."
Madam Shen clapped her hands and shouted like a street shrew: "Come and have a look.
This black-hearted woman wants to take over our Shen family's property. Why am I so miserable?"
The people around had heard their argument a long time ago, and some people stood up for Song Shiwei and said, "How dare you say such things.
If it weren't for Miss Song, your Shen family's house would have been lost long ago.
It would be fine if you didn't appreciate Miss Song, but you actually bit back. I think you are the one with a dark heart."
"That's right. The person pawned her dowry to redeem the land deed. The land deed originally belonged to her.
To put it bluntly, you are living in Miss Song's house now. If you make her angry, Miss Song can kick you out at any time.
Even if we kick you out, no one will say a word against Miss Song!"
"Oh, if I had a daughter-in-law like this, I would burn incense and worship her as an ancestor, but some people don't know how to behave.
He doesn't even look at his own character. Even the young lady of the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion looks down on him.
The examination hasn't even started yet, but she's already acting like the mother of the number one scholar, not afraid of falling down. "
"..."
There were laughters all around, and Old Madam Shen was so angry that her face turned blue and she almost got into a fight with them.
Song Shiwei grabbed Madam Shen's arm and said, "Mother, do you have to make such an embarrassing scene and embarrass your husband?"
Old Madam Shen looked at the onlookers and angrily cursed, "A bunch of unruly people."
She shook off Song Shiwei's hand and turned back home.
Song Shiwei apologized to the onlookers and then returned to her mansion. Only then did the people around her disperse.
There was a carriage parked not far away, and a young man was driving it.
He asked the people in the car in confusion: "Your Majesty, why did Miss Song use her dowry to redeem the Shen family's land deed?"
Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "As her own dowry? Which eye of yours saw her as her own dowry?"
"But there was such a big scene just now..."
Qing Mo reacted and said in shock: "Is she doing this for others to see?"
Xiao Jingheng curled his lips and said, "She is smart. If the dowry is left in the Shen family, it will inevitably be coveted by the Shen family. It is better to transfer it out and gain a good reputation."
He sneered and continued, "Why do you think Yuelai Bank suddenly came to us?"
Qing Mo suddenly realized that it was Miss Song who was behind today's drama.
Although this young lady from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion is a weak woman, she can use her intelligence and wisdom to play the Shen family around.
It really cannot be underestimated.
He clicked his tongue twice and said with emotion: "The Shen family is really blind."
Xiao Jingheng narrowed his eyes. Fortunately, the Shen family was blind, otherwise how could they have let him get this good deal?
He pointed and tapped the car window, muttering, "Why isn't it dark yet?"
It seems that the Shen family is still in turmoil at this time, and Song Shiwei certainly cannot get away to see him.
He could only wait until dark to see her.
……
Shen family.
Old Madam Shen was crying to Shen Linchuan in the study about what Song Shiwei had done.
She said: "This woman clearly has bad intentions and wants to seize our Shen family's property.
Chuan'er, you must find a way to get the land deed back.
That's what your father left us, it can't fall into the hands of others."
Shen Linchuan was extremely tired. There had not been a single day of peace in his home since his wedding. He was so noisy that he couldn't even read.
He rubbed his aching head and said, "Mom, you are overthinking it. Even if the land deed is in her hands, what can it do?
She is the daughter-in-law of our Shen family, and this house still belongs to our Shen family.
In order to pay off our debts, she sold all her dowry and also protected the Shen family for us.
She has done her best for us, what else do you want her to do to satisfy you?"
Old Madam Shen was just not satisfied with Song Shiwei.
On the first day of her marriage, she was humiliated in front of a servant and had to apologize humbly.
She was a young lady raised in the countryside, not valued by the Enbo Mansion, but she acted like a young lady and had no awareness of being a daughter-in-law.
Thinking back to when she married into the Shen family, she worked diligently, was cautious, and endured a lot of hardships before she got through.
She finally managed to get her mother-in-law to die, but before she could enjoy a few years of being the mistress of the house, her husband died.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Shen was filled with sorrow. She looked at her son and said angrily, "The title deed was left to us by your father. I don't care what you think of, you must get it back to me, otherwise I will regard you as my son."
After saying this, she walked out with a lot of resentment.
Shen Linchuan's face turned dark and he was so angry that he threw the book in his hand to the ground.
Song Shiwei walked in. She picked up the book that had fallen on the ground and placed it in front of Shen Linchuan, saying, "It's all my fault for making my mother angry again."
Shen Linchuan looked at her, opened his pale lips, and wanted to ask her to return the deed.
Song Shiwei spoke first, "My husband must think, like my mother, that I have usurped the Shen family's land deed.
But if I don’t do this, what will the people think of the Shen family?
The Shen family owed a debt, but asked me, as their daughter-in-law, to pay it back with my dowry.
If my husband becomes an official in the future, won’t he be criticized and become a laughing stock?
I redeemed the land deed in my own name and put it in my hands, so that outsiders could not find any fault with the Shen family.
After a few years, when everyone has forgotten about this, I will quietly return the land deed to my mother.
We are all family anyway, so it doesn't matter who has the deed. Can they just run away?"
After listening to her explanation, Shen Linchuan thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.
He sighed and said, "Mother didn't mean to embarrass you.
But this land deed is a relic left to us by my father, and my mother just couldn’t bear to part with my father’s things.”
"So, I took back the invalidated title deed and left it to my mother as a reminder."
Song Shiwei took out the original title deed and placed it in front of Shen Linchuan.
It was stamped with a red seal that had been invalidated by the government.
