My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 97 The trouble caused by the concubine
If the Qin family's back house had not been dominated by powerful and intelligent mistresses like the old lady and mother-in-law, and the female relatives in the houses were very friendly and united, there is no guarantee that the Dong family would not have breached the fortress from within.

Isn’t it true that Mr. Qin’s lust also makes him faint?
After Shen Yuan seriously reflected on it, he became more vigilant towards that "mysterious organization". It was almost all-pervasive and its methods were extremely hidden, making it really hard to guard against.

To outsiders, it may seem like a common drama of "wives and concubines competing for favor". Who would have thought that behind the beauties there are bone-scraping steel knives, which are gentle and can kill you.

She was wondering whether she should tell her parents' family secretly about this, so that her grandfather and father could also take precautions, lest the men of the Shen family and the backyard were lost in the end. Wouldn't that be a failure?

Shen Yuan was just thinking about going back to her parents' home. Unexpectedly, only two days later, Mrs. Wang came to visit her first.

Shen Yuan intuitively felt that something big must have happened at home, otherwise Wang would not come to disturb her easily.

"Mom, why are you here? But something happened at home?"

Seeing Wang's haggard look, Shen Yuan asked directly.

Wang looked at Mo Zhu and others in the room, but hesitated to speak.

"You all should step aside first. No one is allowed in until I call for service."

Shen Yuan sent all the servants out, leaving only mother and daughter in the room.

Only then did Wang control her anger and spit out her bitterness.

"That concubine of yours secretly hooked up with the eldest prince at some point. Now she has a knot in her belly and is dying at home all day long. Your grandfather and others asked me to ask your opinion on how to deal with this matter."

Shen Yuan almost choked herself with a sip of tea, and asked in surprise: "When did this happen? How many months old is Shen Wei's belly now?"

The "concubine" mentioned by the Wang family is Miss Shen Wei, the third daughter of Shen Yuan, who is the daughter of Aunt Qiao, the concubine of Shen Yuan's father. She also has a brother, Shen Mu, who is the second young master of the concubine in the family.

Mrs. Wang looked ashamed to speak, "The doctor said it has been almost two months. As for when the little girl got close to the eldest prince, according to her own account, it must have been more than half a year."

Shen Yuan simply had nothing to complain about. A lady from a wealthy family secretly had an affair with a man outside, and no one at home found out. This was a big mistake.

It would be absolutely impossible to say that no one in the Shen family was protecting Shen Wei, and besides being her biological mother, Aunt Qiao, this person had no other intention.

However, it is useless to pursue these matters now. The most urgent task is to think about how to properly handle this matter.

"What did my grandfather and father plan? Did they send the child to the eldest prince's palace? Or did they secretly abort the child and pretend that it never happened?" Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed, "Your father is naturally soft-hearted. After all, Shen Wei is still his biological daughter no matter what. Your grandfather feels that the family scandal should not be made public, let alone harm other girls in the Shen family because of Shen Wei. According to his wishes, the child cannot be had, and Shen Wei cannot keep it. , it’s best to find her an ordinary family and marry her far away.”

"I'm afraid Shen Wei and Aunt Qiao can't agree, right?" Shen Yuan suddenly grasped the key point.

Mrs. Wang curled her lips disdainfully, "Isn't that right? The mother and daughter cried, made trouble and hanged themselves at home every day. They even threatened your grandfather, saying that if the child could not be saved, they would not be alive either."

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, something was wrong.

With the grandfather's mind and means, how could he be so afraid of taking action against the mother and daughter's small threat? There must be a more difficult situation.

"Mom, just tell me directly. Why did my grandfather ask you to come to me?"

"Hey..." Mrs. Wang sighed softly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"Shen Wei, that little girl, is very thoughtful. After knowing that the scandal was exposed, she sent someone to secretly inform the eldest prince. Now that the eldest prince has sent a message, saying that he wants to admit her into the palace, your grandfather is very embarrassed... "

It turned out that the eldest prince had intervened. No wonder his grandfather specially sent Wang to ask what he meant.

In fact, the grandfather was worried that the Qin family would think too much and thought that the Shen family had ideas about seizing the legitimate son, so he married the girl from the mansion into the eldest prince's mansion.At least on the surface, that's what outsiders think.

"Mom, actually there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Since Shen Wei wants to get married so much, let her get married. She is just a concubine and will not have much influence on our Shen family. She is just like the Qin family. It’s even more irrelevant.”

Shen Yuan disagreed. The concubine's natal family was not considered a serious in-laws. To put it harshly, even if the eldest prince committed an offense in the future, the Shen family would not be able to be punished.

"Having said that, your grandfather is worried about being labeled as a member of the eldest prince's faction in the future. The emperor can't explain it clearly. And that girl Shen Wei was obviously drunk by the eldest prince. Not only did she break up with her family, her mother I'm afraid she will cause more troubles in the future as the daughter of the Shen family, affecting the whole family."

Wang said worriedly.

Shen Yuan suddenly thought of what Qin He told her about General Yiyong's Mansion before. Isn't a white-eyed wolf like Shen Wei more terrifying than Mr. Fang's concubine.

From this point of view, my grandfather’s worries were justified.
