Chapter 40 Taking the lead in attacking
  This time, Yu Qinglian couldn't even maintain her last dignity, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and even her lips were trembling with anger.
  However, even if she was extremely angry, with so many people watching, she could not refute. She could not lose her dignity and dignity as a eldest lady and quarrel with a junior.
  What's more, this junior was talking about his first wife, Princess Xiaoqing, so her rebuttal was unreasonable.
  The air seemed to be still for a moment.
  The old lady had a heatstroke and needed to rest. She stayed in Jing'an Court and did not go out to eat. After dinner, Shen Heshan went into the study to handle official business. No elders who could talk to him were there.
  The remaining people had different expressions. They all felt that Shen Zhuoxi, who had returned from the palace, was covered in thorns and full of fighting power. They did not dare to interrupt for fear of being affected.
  It was Shen Xinyu who stood up from the chair, patted Yu Qinglian's hand to express comfort, and said softly: "Second sister has been confused for many years. She doesn't seem to understand the rules and doesn't know the past events."
  "When Princess Xiaoqing passed away, my grandmother and father were extremely sad, and everything in the house was in chaos. In such a huge house, all matters such as favors, expenses, purchases, etc. cannot be left alone to manage."
  "My mother was a concubine. She willingly shouldered heavy responsibilities and worked hard without complaint. It took a full year before my father resigned from the government office and promoted my mother to the rank of eldest lady."
  "Whether it is recorded in the genealogy to pay homage to the ancestors, or to record the record in the government office, my mother is justified and feels sorry for Princess Xiaoqing. We can understand it, but she has been dead for more than ten years, and she can't always dominate someone. It’s an empty name.”
  Her voice was soft and her words were reasonable, instantly pinning Shen Zhuoxi into a situation where he didn't understand the rules, was unreasonable, and didn't know what was good or bad.
  Only then did Yu Qinglian react, tears streaming down her face.
  Holding Shen Xinyu in her arms, she sobbed aggrievedly, "Second Miss's words are really chilling. For so many years, I have been filial to my parents, loving my children, and tolerant and caring towards other concubines."
  "Even if the children of the Grand Master's Mansion did not come out of my belly, I regard them as my own. I have a clear conscience when I say that I have to leave. I never thought that after working hard for more than ten years, I would be so insulted by the second lady today."
  "Since she wants the position of the first lady, I will ask the grand master to move me back to the second lady's place to make room for Princess Xiaoqing!"
  "No." Shen Jingya quickly protected Yu Qinglian and said angrily to Shen Zhuoxi: "You have been crazy for many years. You must not know how good your mother is. She loves us concubines better than her own daughters."
  "If mother is wrong about this, you can go out to Shengdu and inquire about how other people's wives treat their concubine children. Just because you don't like her, well, you don't even care what you are!"
  Han Xiangru remained silent and winked at Shen Jingya.
  Shen Jingya completely didn't see it. This was a good opportunity for her to show her loyalty. After letting Grandma Wang take the blame and die for her, Yu Qinglian obviously didn't love her as much as before.
  Aunt Yang drank tea leisurely, with an imperceptible smile on her lips.
  She had known for a long time that Yu Qinglian was not a good person, but it was a pity that her aunt's status was low and she could not say anything.
  Yu Qinglian's crying continued, causing Shen Jingya to cry too, and Shen Xinyu cried silently.
  No matter how you look at it, Shen Zhuoxi bullied them.
  Shen Zhuoxi laughed and said: "I didn't know that the eldest lady was so kind and kind. During the ten years of my madness, I rarely had a normal meal of vegetables, let alone meat. When I was sick, I didn't have a doctor to see me. I only relied on food." Suffer."
  "Anyone in the house can go to Xiaoxiang Tower and trample on me. Shen Jingya and Shen Xinjiao even come to find trouble every now and then. As the mistress of the house, does the eldest lady have no idea about my situation?"
  Shen Zhuoxi straightened his back and his body was as thin as a stick. Standing there was the silent evidence.
  Yu Qinglian stopped crying, then gasped and said: "It was Si Tianjian who said that you were reincarnated as a monster and brought disaster to the country and the people. People in the house avoided you. Do you want to blame me?"
  "Ha." Shen Zhuoxi sneered coldly: "The eldest lady was indifferent and even allowed the people below to act boldly. The eldest lady insists on confusing Si Tianjian's words, and I have nothing to say."
  "You, you are simply being unreasonable." Shen Jingya was named, pointing to the hairpin in Shen Zhuoxi's hair and said: "I gave you the hairpin to apologize, and you also wore it, which means you accepted my apology."
  "What are you talking about now? Do you want to remember such a thing for the rest of your life?"
  Although Han Xiangru wanted to see Yu Qinglian's jokes, she couldn't let Shen Jingya get involved.
  After calming down his emotions, he also helped to speak and said: "The people in the house did go too far, but the Shen family resisted the pressure and left a place for you, otherwise you would have starved to death."
  "It's good now. Those who should apologize have also apologized. Second Miss has resentment in her heart. Just let it out today. From now on, we will be a family."
  "The Second Madam is right." Shen Xinyu sighed and said seriously: "The outside world's impression of you is still the reincarnation of the demon star. If anyone knows that you are just right, they will force the First Madam to give up."
  "It's better to replace the deceased Princess Xiaoqing. Anyone will think you are wrong. It will only damage your reputation and make the Queen Mother disgusted. Whether it is me, my mother, or the second lady, we are all doing it for your own good."
  For her own good?
  For her own good, would she turn black into white?
  Several people would jointly accuse her, right?
  Shen Zhuoxi looked at the faces of these people with cold eyes and almost laughed out loud.
  How do they manage to make their skin as thick as a city wall?
  At this time, Aunt Ju tugged on the hem of her clothes and whispered: "Miss, there are so many of them, you can't handle it. Besides, there is a grand master to protect them. Otherwise, it's better to forget it. If we delay, the dishes will get cold." "
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't want to continue talking to these people.
  No matter how much she talked, these people still felt that she was being fooled and could be dismissed with a few words. A painless apology could erase the humiliation she had suffered over the years.
  "Thank you all for being kind to me." After Shen Zhuoxi looked around at a few people, he took off the hosta from his head and threw it to Shen Jingya: "I was laughed at when I entered the palace wearing it today."
  "The dignified second lady of Taishi's Mansion actually wears the lowest jade. It's something that even the palace ladies despise. It's hard for you to find it and give it to me."
  After saying that, without looking back, he took Grandma Ju back to Qingfeng Tower.
  The hosta bounced on Shen Jingya's body and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces, revealing the inferior asbestos inside, like a silent mockery.
  "Why bother?" Grandma Ju was very puzzled by what happened just now: "You are just in time and have not yet established a foothold. The eldest lady has been in business for many years, and everyone praises her for her virtue."
  "What the eldest lady just said is unpleasant, but it makes some sense. If we tell you what happened today, others will really think that we are unreasonable."
  "Yu Qinglian wants to pretend to be virtuous, but I want to tear off her hypocritical mask." Shen Zhuoxi snorted: "You want me to eat her leftovers in the name of being frugal, and you still play this trick, it's low-level."
  "Besides, if I don't take the lead in attacking, what awaits me in the future will be all this kind of trivial and disgusting things."
  Grandma Ju thought for a while, and realized that this was really the case, and sighed: "I can only think about the good things. You take the first step. If they are in trouble again, they have to think about what people outside will say."
  The food has been prepared long ago, and the table is full.
  Seeing that she was coming, Hui Zhi came up to meet her and asked curiously: "Miss, what's so strange? They actually sent so many delicacies from the mountains and seas?"
