Chapter 477: Taking advantage of the situation, showing no mercy
Zhen also heard the rumors outside and was looking for an excuse to deal with Qin Yumo.
She knew that Qin Yumo was a restless person.
After attending the Queen's banquet that day and returning home, she not only scolded Qin Yumo, but even Qin Yumo's mother!
Unexpectedly, Qin Yumo had not given up yet and caused even greater trouble!
She immediately reported the matter to Old Madam Qin.
After hearing this, Old Madam Qin was also filled with anger.
"How could my Qin family raise such a shameless girl! I'll leave this matter entirely to you. If she listens to my advice, give her a dowry and let her marry someone else. If she doesn't listen to my advice, send her to a farm in the countryside to fend for herself, and never think of returning to Prime Minister Qin's mansion again."
"Yes, mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely handle this matter properly." Zhen responded immediately.
"After all, he is the blood of my Qin family, so I have to save some face." Old Madam Qin couldn't help but say another sentence.
"Yes, I understand. I'll take my leave first." Zhen went out.
She was already angry about what Qin Yumo had done, and now that Old Madam Qin was actually favoring this girl, she felt even more uncomfortable.
When she married into the Qin family, her father-in-law had not yet become the prime minister of the dynasty, and her mother-in-law was somewhat partial to the second wife.
If it weren't for the fact that her brother-in-law was really incompetent, and his wives and concubines were not good at conceiving and had not given birth to a son but a bunch of daughters, it would be hard to say who would be the head of the family!
Zhen had been in the prime minister's mansion for many years and had finally become a mother-in-law.
Once he gained power, he tried every possible means to squeeze out the second wife.
Zhen came to the courtyard of the second house in person and saw Qin Yumo's mother Chen wiping tears in the house.
As soon as he saw Zhen, a flash of panic appeared in his eyes and he immediately stood up.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Please take a seat. Xia He will serve you some tea." Chen greeted her warmly.
Zhen walked directly to the main seat and sat down, looking at Chen with contempt.
"Mrs. Chen, how did you raise your daughter? You let her do such a shameless thing. She is the only legitimate child of your second branch. Even though she is a daughter, she is also my uncle's face! It is widely rumored that she hooked up with the Third Prince. How can my uncle face people in the future?"
Chen had always been at odds with Zhen, but the Qin Mansion was headed by Zhen after all. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she had never confronted Zhen head-on.
If she had a son, she would never be in this situation!
Even, you can snatch the power of head of the family back from Zhen's hands!
It’s all my own fault.
Therefore, she would usually try to avoid Zhen whenever she saw her, and try her best not to let Zhen get any evidence in her hands.
The trouble her daughter had caused this time made her unable to raise her head in front of Zhen.
How could Zhen miss such a good opportunity? She would definitely take the opportunity to humiliate her.
I’m afraid the old lady won’t care this time.
"Sister-in-law, there is a misunderstanding. Momo is not what is being spread. She just wants to repay the Third Prince for saving her life. She has absolutely no other intentions. I don't know how the outside world spread the matter like this. My daughter's reputation is more important than anything else. Besides, if Momo's reputation is damaged, it will not be good for the Prime Minister's Mansion. Sister-in-law, please don't believe those rumors outside. It is more important to protect Momo's reputation. Even if it is not for Momo, it is for the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Sister-in-law, things are not as simple as you think. Last time, when the Queen held a banquet, I originally intended to take her out to see the world and find a husband for her. But she did something like that and cut off her own good path. Now there are rumors like this. Which good family in the imperial capital would be willing to marry her?"
"Sister-in-law, Momo grew up in your care. Please have pity on her. If she lives a good life in the future, she will be filial to you as her aunt. I beg you." Chen suppressed the humiliation in her heart and knelt down in front of Zhen.
Zhen felt so happy when she saw Chen in such a posture!
Chen now has only one thought.
That is to quickly find a husband for Qin Yumo to marry into, and also hope that Zhen will consider the face of Qin Xiangfu and not find a too bad one.
"Sister-in-law, you and I have been sisters-in-law for so many years, how could we not have feelings for each other? Not to mention for the sake of the child, even if it is for your consideration, I will still worry about it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Chen immediately thanked her.
She secretly thought in her heart that if Zhen could really make good plans for her daughter this time, she would never cause any unhappiness to Zhen again. She would just stay in her own yard and live out the rest of her life.
"Sister-in-law, I remember when you first got married, mother-in-law gave you a shop. You know I don't have any assets under my name, and I manage the whole family. Sometimes, I work hard but get no thanks. You live a leisurely life in the mansion every day, without having to worry about anything. I have never treated you badly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. Why don't you let me manage this shop?"
When Chen heard this, she trembled all over!
It turned out that Zhen came here today just for that shop!
She also said that she had not treated them unfairly. If it weren't for the shop under her control, their lives would not have been so hard!
"Why? My sister-in-law doesn't want to give me the shop? In her heart, is a shop less important than the lifelong happiness of her own daughter?"
This sentence is already a clear threat.
"Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. The Queen sent someone to find me because of those rumors outside. Have you ever thought about the seriousness of this matter? Compared with the loss of your daughter's reputation and the loss of the Third Prince's reputation, which is more serious?"
Chen's face suddenly lost all color.
The Queen Mother actually sent someone over.
She should have thought of this outcome earlier, right?
"Mother! Don't agree to her! I would rather not marry and stay by your side forever to serve you!" Qin Yumo ran in from outside and hugged Zhen's shoulders.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chen scolded, "Sister-in-law, since you like that shop, I will give it to you. I'll go get the deed to the shop."
"Mother!" Qin Yumo immediately stopped Chen, "You can't give it to me!"
She also knew that the shop was the biggest source of income for their second family.
She also thought that when she got married, she would have the shop as a dowry.
"Pa!" Chen raised her hand and slapped Qin Yumo, "Shut up!"
Zhen chuckled, lowered her head and turned the jade ring on her finger.
Chen went into the house and took out the deed to the shop.
Zhen took it, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that there was no problem before folding it a few times and putting it into her sleeve.
