Chapter 82 Apologize in Public
  With the young lady's words as evidence, everyone immediately understood that it was really Shen Jingya who was instigating, and all the fingers were pointed at Shen Jingya.
  "Miss Hong admitted it, it was really Miss Shen San who instigated it!"
  "What is Miss Shen San trying to do? They are all young ladies from the Taishi Mansion. If there is a big fuss, it is not the people from the Grand Master's Mansion who will be disgraced."
  "The concubine is just shallow-sighted. In the final analysis, it's not jealousy. The second young lady's background puts her in a league of her own."
  "It hurts others but does not benefit oneself. Such a person is really selfish. Fortunately, she is a concubine. She is only qualified to be a concubine in the future. Otherwise, if someone takes her back as their official wife, wouldn't it be a disaster for their children?"
  "I have this kind of mentality at a young age, and I will develop it again in the future. I'm afraid no one will want a concubine who is full of scheming. Anyway, my son will not be able to accept such a person in the future."
  "No, it made the whole family uneasy. Fortunately, Miss Hong came out and admitted it. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what Miss Shen San was thinking!"
  "Yes, the second young lady is really pitiful. She was tricked and framed by Si Tianjian when she was five years old. She lived a miserable life for more than ten years. She was instigated and beaten by the third lady Shen. She finally recovered, and the third lady still dragged her into the water."
  "..."
  These people spoke with indignation, as if they wanted to stand up for Shen Zhuoxi.
  It seems that this way we can forget that they were talking about Shen Zhuoxi just now!
  Human nature.
  Shen Zhuoxi felt contempt in his heart, and his face became colder and colder.
  Shen Jingya became the target of public criticism. She stood in the middle of the crowd at a loss and kept denying three times: "It's not me, I don't, I don't know anything..."
  It's a pity that everyone's insults were so loud that no one cared about what she said.
  Mrs. Shen took Yu Qinglian to the back to meet the ladies. When they came back from a distance, they saw a buzz in the hall, with many people surrounding them, and they heard someone mentioning the name of Taishi's Mansion.
  The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Yu Qinglian: "Isn't it because someone is embarrassing Zhuo Xi?"
  Yu Qinglian also thought of this possibility, and felt happy in her heart, but pretended to be very anxious on her face: "No way, who is so ignorant at the Mid-year banquet hosted by the prince?"
  "Let's go and take a look." The old lady shook off Yu Qinglian's supporting hand and quickened her pace.
  Shen Xinyu had some problems with her shoes and socks. She went to the guest room in the backyard to tidy up her appearance and missed what happened in the hall. When she came back, she met Yu Qinglian at the corner. Seeing the old lady looking slightly panicked, she subconsciously asked, "What happened to grandma?"
  "Hey." Yu Qinglian looked at the commotion crowd and said, "I heard someone talking about the Grand Master's Mansion or something. I guess something happened to that little bitch's hoof."
  "Shen Zhuoxi?" Shen Xinyu frowned: "I just sat down, how could it be?"
  Although she wanted Shen Zhuoxi to make a fool of herself at the mid-year banquet, it hadn't officially started yet. The main reason was that the prince didn't announce their good deeds. It would not be good for the people of the Taishi Mansion to be embarrassed at this time.
  "Let's go, don't cause a big mess." Shen Xinyu was a little annoyed, and pulled Yu Qinglian and said: "You are the mistress of the Taishi Mansion, it is time to show off."
  The old lady had already reached the center of the chaos. As she got closer, she heard that the person everyone was talking about was not Shen Zhuoxi, but Shen Jingya!
  "What's going on?" The old lady walked up to Shen Zhuoxi and asked with a frown, "The eldest lady and I just went to the back, and something happened?"
  "Old sister." The old lady of the Youxiang Mansion stood up, greeted the old lady, told the general story of the matter, and said: "This concubine in your house is not what she is."
  "It's not a good idea to slander my sisters regardless of the situation. Master Shen is the prince's master after all. If the emperor says he is lax in running the family..."
  For the next words, the old lady tried to lower her voice as much as possible.
  But after the old lady appeared, those people who were talking stopped. Even though the old lady deliberately kept her voice low, those who were close still listened.
  Now, I was even more contemptuous of Shen Jingya's behavior - the Grand Master's status was higher than that of the Prime Minister, but she, a concubine, couldn't tell the difference because of jealousy.
  The old lady's face also darkened, and she said to Shen Jingya: "How dare such a short-sighted person do this?"
  "Grandma." Shen Jingya had never been talked about by everyone on such an important occasion. She looked pale and lost her soul, and said with tears in her eyes: "It was the second sister who wronged me, and I did not instigate the second sister to climb onto the prince's bed. "
  "Huh, didn't you hear what Mrs. Zhang said just now?" The old lady looked down upon her behavior of denying even when she was about to die, and said coldly: "What did Zhuo Xi wrongly accuse you of?"
  "Even if she wronged you, could it be that the old lady and madam of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion also wronged you? The eldest lady of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion also wronged you? Miss Hong was also the one who got through it all? Zhuo Xi doesn't know Miss Hong and Miss Wei at all!"
  The old lady was really angry. After asking a series of questions, she spat: "Who do you think you are? Don't treat everyone as a fool."
  It's also a coincidence.
  No one in the Taishi Mansion was there when the incident occurred, and even Han Xiangru, who could help Shen Jingya, went to the toilet.
  As long as there is someone from the Taishi Mansion, they will stop this farce.
  When Han Xiangru came, she saw the old lady scolding Shen Jingya in front of everyone, while Shen Jingya cowered aside, looking extremely pitiful.
  Han Xiangru pushed aside the crowd in a few steps, and pulled Shen Jingya behind her sadly: "Mother, what mistake did Jingya make? Do you want to shame her like this?"
  "Ask her." The old lady turned away and said coldly: "She is a smart one. Apologize to Zhuo Xi now!"
  How could Shen Jingya dare to say anything? She said to Shen Zhuoxi in a sultry voice, "Second sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't say yes or no, and said, "Let's all leave. The family scandal is a joke for everyone."
  Everyone dispersed in twos and threes, and the old lady patted Shen Zhuoxi's hand and said, "I've wronged you."
  "I'm fine." Shen Zhuoxi really didn't take it seriously and sighed: "It's just the behavior of the third sister. I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Grand Master's Mansion. I don't know if it will implicate the Grand Master."
  The old lady's face darkened again, and she whispered: "Don't worry, it's not convenient to punish her right now. When we get back, I will ask your father to punish her properly. She is really loved by the eldest lady to the extreme."
  Yu Qinglian also said quickly: "It's all my fault. I spoiled the third lady, so she dared to make trouble like this."
  The old lady didn't say anything. After all, Yu Qinglian was tolerant and generous to the concubine. She had good intentions in essence and couldn't fault her.
  Shen Zhuoxi said at the right time: "The eldest lady should really teach the third sister well. They were taught by the same mother. The eldest sister and the fourth sister are well-educated and well behaved, but the third sister is arrogant and willful, arrogant and domineering."
  These words made the old lady and Yu Qinglian stunned at the same time.
  Especially the old lady, she had never suspected anything before, but when Shen Zhuoxi said this, it seemed that it was indeed the case.
  The children in the family are all obedient and polite, but Shen Jingya seems to be brainless, lacking in etiquette and acting wantonly!
  Yu Qinglian felt uneasy and was about to explain.
  Shen Xinyu took her hand and answered, "What the second sister said is that my mother has disciplined her many times, but the third sister didn't listen. It's probably because she is still young and has a naughty nature. It would be better if she was older."
  "Born by a father, taught by a mother." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said nothing more.
  The old lady's suspicion grew stronger, and she gave Yu Qinglian and her daughter a strange look.
