Chapter 179 Original Sin (1st update)

Madam Tai was dumbfounded by this scene. She had never seen Mrs. Shen looking like such a shrew.

The wife subconsciously looked at Mrs. Mu Guogong, but she saw that she looked calm, as if what Shen did was not a big deal at all.

Mrs. Tai's heart sank again, she was convinced that Mrs. Mu Guogong accompanied Shen to the Marquis Mansion this time to cause trouble!

For so many years, the eldest son Chu Lingxiao has always favored Aunt Jiang. Mrs. Shen must have cried a lot when she returned to her parents' home, so Mrs. Mu Guogong specially came to support her daughter.

Mrs. Tai also doesn't like Aunt Jiang now, and feels that she and her daughter Chu Qianchen will cause trouble one by one.

But no matter how unhappy she was, she still felt that Mr. Shen was not too sensible.

She is almost 30 years old, and her daughter is about to get married. She wants to teach an aunt a lesson, even if she shows off the dignity of being the matron of the house, she actually goes to her natal family to come to the Hou Mansion for the sake of her husband's concubine room. make trouble.

She really doesn’t have the demeanor of the matron of the Hou Mansion!

Aunt Jiang's face paled by three points, and her autumn eyes shone with an uncertain light.

Her long, white hands tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, and her fingers turned slightly white from the exertion.

She looked back and forth between Shen and Chu Qianchen, and vaguely realized something. She bit her lower lip slightly with her jade teeth, and did not dare to call Chu Qianchen's name again, let alone ask why Shen was angry.

At some point, the sunny sky outside turned gloomy, and thick clouds piled on top of each other in the sky, as if the dark night had fallen in advance.

Immediately afterwards, the wind blew violently, the summer weather suddenly changed, and the heavy air was filled with the tension of an impending storm.

In the main hall, no one spoke anymore.

The lady above frowned slightly, waiting for Shen to speak.

After Mrs. Shen smashed the tea cup, she had no intention of speaking, so Grandma Chen immediately asked the maid to serve tea again.

The atmosphere was so weird and solemn that the maids in the main hall didn't even dare to clean up the mess at Aunt Jiang's feet.

There was dead silence in the room. Shen didn't speak, and no one else spoke either. The stiff atmosphere continued.

Aunt Jiang just stood with her head bowed, a cold sweat gradually breaking out on the back of her neck.

At first Mrs. Shen was waiting for Mrs. Shen to speak, but she waited and waited, and Mrs. Shen never spoke.

The silence had lasted for so long that Mrs. Tai didn’t know whether it was the time of one stick of incense or half an hour. She drank a few cups of tea without realizing it, and finally couldn’t help but said: "Ah Zhi, What do you want to do?"

Just to smash a cup, just to sit here and do this? !

The Madam couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Mrs. Mu Guogong, thinking that Mrs. Mu Guogong was too old and confused to accompany Shen to do such nonsense!

Mrs. Shen took another sip of tea and said calmly: "There's no rush. It won't be too late to wait until Chu Qianhuang comes back."

Hearing Mrs. Shen call Chu Qianhuang like this, Aunt Jiang's slender body stiffened slightly, she glanced at Mrs. Shen again, and lowered her eyes silently.

After a while, until the first thunder exploded in the sky, Chu Qianhuang came back, walking in a hurry and describing himself as anxious.

She wore a begonia red embroidered butterfly and hibiscus jacket, paired with a pink pleated skirt, which was very bright and bright.

"Big girl, go this way."

A maid walked in front to lead the way for Chu Qianhuang.

When she stepped into the main hall, Chu Qianhuang naturally saw Mrs. Mu Guogong, Mrs. Shen, Chu Qianchen and Aunt Jiang standing in the center of the main hall, and her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

She hurried back to the Hou Mansion from the palace because she heard that the concubine was seriously ill. But now that she saw that the concubine sitting at the top was safe and sound, she already felt that something was wrong.

Chu Qianhuang's steps slowed down, her eyes flickered, and she continued to walk to the Madam. She knelt down and blessed her, "Grandma."

Her posture is elegant and her manners are dignified. That elegance seems to be engraved in her bones, and her style is outstanding.

Immediately afterwards, she saluted Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mrs. Shen: "Grandma, mother."

Shen's expression turned cold and she said calmly: "I'm not your mother."

The madam frowned, feeling that it was inexplicable that Mrs. Shen would actually get angry with her own daughter.

This Shen family is a bit too domineering. Isn't Sister Huang just a companion in the palace?

Mrs. Tai thought that Mrs. Shen was angry about Chu Qianhuang's insistence on being the princess's companion.

Chu Qianhuang's pupils shrank slightly, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he forced a smile and said: "Mom, my daughter is at fault..."

"I'm not your mother." Shen interrupted Chu Qianhuang directly.

She did not miss Chu Qianhuang's sudden realization, and secretly thought to herself that indeed, Chu Qianhuang knew her life experience.

Mrs. Shen raised her hand and pointed at Aunt Jiang behind Chu Qianhuang, "This is your mother."

Madam: “…”

Chu Qianhuang: "..."

Aunt Jiang: "..."

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and all the sounds in the room seemed to be sucked out.

The three of them were all shocked, but each was surprised in his own way.

Even Grandma Wang and other maids and maids heard it. They were dumbfounded and couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what kind of drama this was.

Chu Qianhuang stood frozen on the spot. Instead of looking at Aunt Jiang, she looked at Chu Qianchen.

However, Chu Qianchen didn't look at Chu Qianhuang. She lowered her eyes and drank tea calmly, as if what happened here had nothing to do with her.

"Crack!"

The madam was shocked and annoyed at first, and slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table.

The wife showed off her mother-in-law dignity, raised her finger, pointed at Mrs. Shen and scolded: "That's enough! Look at you, you're talking nonsense, how can you look like Mrs. Hou!"

"Our Yongding Marquis Mansion is the founding minister of the country. We have made meritorious deeds for generations. We have never had a daughter-in-law like you who is always angry and goes back to her parents' home. As the head mother of the house and the eldest sister-in-law, you don't know how to be careful with your words and deeds. under…"

"Generational achievements?" Mrs. Shen interrupted the wife with a sneer, with a disdainful arc on her lips, "In my opinion, this Yongding Marquis Mansion is simply harboring filth and evil!"

Mrs. Shen didn't save any face for Mrs. Shen. The place was so bad anyway, so what else could she do to save face? !

Shen looked at Chu Qianhuang again, her eyes as sharp as arrows, and still called her by her name: "Chu Qianhuang, have you already known who your biological mother is?!"

Without waiting for Chu Qianhuang to answer, Mrs. Shen looked at Aunt Jiang again, "Jiang Minshan, why don't you recognize your biological daughter?" The servants serving in the main hall were even more shocked, and they still haven't reacted yet.

Outside the main hall, there was another deafening thunder.

The rumbling thunder came one after another, louder than the last, like thousands of horses galloping one after another.

"Boom!"

Every sound of thunder was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

Madam Tai was furious at first, but gradually calmed down a little. Looking at Mrs. Shen's face, she didn't seem to be talking angrily.

Moreover, Mrs. Mu Guogong did not stop her and allowed Shen to talk nonsense. This was really weird.

The anger in Mrs. Tai's heart subsided, and she was filled with doubts. She went to see Chu Qianhuang and Aunt Jiang again.

Aunt Jiang was still staring at the tips of her shoes with lowered eyes, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Chu Qianhuang looked shocked and her pretty face turned pale.

She bit her lower lip slightly and admitted her mistake sincerely: "I know I made my mother angry, and I will change it!"

"Mom, I know I shouldn't have left the Duke's mansion without permission. It's my fault!"

"If you are angry, punish me, scold me, make me kneel in the ancestral hall and copy scriptures, I am willing to do it..."

Chu Qianhuang's voice trembled slightly, and she looked at Shen with hurt, her eyes filled with crystal tears.

The more Mrs. Tai looked at it, the more she felt that something was not right. However, she had just lost her temper with Mrs. Shen and could not keep her face down, so she could only wink at Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang cleared her throat and tried to smooth things over: "Yes, madam, the eldest lady already knows her mistake..."

Shen came here just to make things clear. She didn't want to make excuses with them, she didn't want to cover up for Chu Lingxiao and Jiang Minshan, and she didn't want to wrong her biological daughter again by carrying the title of concubine.

"Mother," Mrs. Shen looked at Madam Tai sarcastically, "why don't you ask your niece, or ask your son what he did in Daping Temple fourteen years ago!"

Shen's phoenix eyes were dark and deep, burning with burning anger and murderous hatred.

Shen said almost word by word: "Take a concubine as a legitimate son, steal a dragon and turn him into a phoenix."

"He is unkind to his own daughter, and he is unjust to his legitimate wife."

"He repays kindness with hatred, disregards flesh and blood ties, is unkind and unjust, and is not worthy of being a human being at all!"

With Shen's angry voice, the temperature in the main hall continued to drop, and it seemed that it had suddenly entered the cold winter.

Chu Qianhuang felt that the cold chill seemed to penetrate into her bones, and Shen's words were like needles piercing her heart.

The day has finally arrived!

Chu Qianhuang felt a little sad and weak in her heart. Her whole body seemed to be standing on a thin steel wire, teetering on the edge of collapse.

She tried so hard and racked her brains, but she still couldn't escape...

She came to this capital city called Daqi in the spring of last year, and that day there was lightning and thunder like it is now.

At night, she slept very uneasily and had a dream.

In her dream, she knew that this was a novel, and the protagonist in the novel was not named Chu Qianhuang. Chu Qianhuang was just a little girl who was teased by fate, an insignificant victim in this novel.

Her life experience is her original sin!

As early as when she was born, her father secretly exchanged her with the legitimate daughter born from her legitimate mother.

However, the truth will eventually be revealed one day.

In the novel, it is March in this spring.

That day, Chu Yunmu fell off the rockery and lost his life.

Shen believed that someone was plotting to kill Chu Yunmu, and finally traced Aunt Jiang and Aunt Cui, and then discovered that Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang were secretly swapped.

For this reason, Shen made a big fuss in the Hou Mansion and called Mu Guogong and his wife to support her.

No matter how much Mrs. Tai tried to persuade Chu Lingxiao to admit her mistakes and punish her, and even severely punished Aunt Jiang and sent her to the family temple, Mrs. Shen remained unyielding and aggressive, so much so that Chu Qianhuang in the novel She was reduced from a legitimate daughter to a concubine overnight, and became the laughing stock in the capital. From then on, she could not hold her head high in the capital.

It was clear that Chu Qianhuang had done nothing wrong, so why did she have to suffer such an unfair fate!

In the dream, the key to everything was the day Chu Yunmu fell off the rockery. She didn't know what day it was, so during that time, she went to Bixiao Tower to read and paint every day.

It wasn't until the ninth day of March that she finally waited for Grandma Cui.

That morning, she deliberately made noises to scare Aunt Cui away in advance, and then picked up Aunt Cui's lost handkerchief near the rockery. Originally, she wanted to save Chu Yunmu and stop him from going up to the rockery, but Meier ran away. After coming, she could only leave in a hurry.

Fortunately, Chu Yunmu survived.

She thought this was the best ending, that everything could get back on track, but she didn't expect that Chu Qianchen suddenly changed and became closer to Mr. Shen.

Mrs. Shen treated Chu Qianchen like her own daughter, but became even stricter with herself...

In just a short span of time, Chu Qianhuang's thoughts were already filled with thousands of thoughts.

"Boom!"

Another thunder exploded in the sky.

Chu Qianhuang's body trembled violently, and her lips trembled slightly.

Shen didn't miss the changes in Chu Qianhuang.

Although she guessed yesterday that Chu Qianhuang should know the truth, she still told herself countless times that Chu Qianhuang was also a child she raised by herself, and the children she taught would not be too bad.

But now, Chu Qianhuang's performance once again broke her expectations.

At this moment, Shen could be 100% convinced that Chu Qianhuang did know.

She had known that she was not her own child.

Therefore, she was the one who deliberately encouraged Chu Qianling to dance swordsmanship with Chu Qianchen. She was the one who deliberately wanted to ruin Chu Qianchen’s face...
