Chapter 105 Shen Cangning's Scheme

The two were entangled with each other when someone outside shouted and then Mrs. Wan screamed, "How does Fourth Miss bring Fourth Grand-Miss here?"

Wei Changying was startled and whispered, "Cangning and Shuyan?"

As expected, she heard Shen Cangning's cheerful voice, "Where are the third brother and the third sister-in-law? I bring Shuyan to play here."

Since the good thing was disturbed by her sister, Shen Cangfeng frowned and then said, "Granny Wan will send them away."

Before he finished his words, Mrs. Wan began to chase them away, "Since the third young master and the third young madam just married, the Jintong Courtyard has not been cleaned up, and there is much more to do. Fourth Miss, why not bring Fourth Grand-Miss to play in the garden?"

Shen Cangning refused, saying, "I'll take Shuyan to talk to the third sister-in-law. Where is she?"

The third young madam's sleeves were stained with tea, and she went into the inner room to change clothes. The third young master, who was neat and clean in his robe, also followed in and sent out the maidservants inside who helped the dressing. Now the newly married couple had been inside alone for a while, seeming that it was inconvenient to be disturbed.

However, Fourth Miss, who was young and ignorant, was unable to observe people's expressions. Mrs. Wan couldn't help persuading her with a smile, "Young madam has been busy in saluting the elders and seeing the servants. Now she is relaxing. If Fourth Miss wants to talk to young madam, just come two days later!"

"I've come now." Shen Cangning acted shamelessly, saying, "Besides, how does Granny know that the third sister-in-law doesn't want to see me? You can go to tell her!"

In the inner room, Shen Cangfeng rubbed his forehead and whispered, "Cangning has really been spoiled. She is so mischievous!" Since it was the second day after his marriage ceremony, the whole family didn't come to disturb them except his young sister, who had been self-willed since she was young and came here at will. Even Mrs. Wan could not stop her.

Shen Cangfeng was a little angry.

Wei Changying laughed aloud, pushing him proudly, "Aren't you letting me go?"

"How can it be so easy?" Hearing the words, Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "Three grannies are outside, and there are also maidservants. Can Cangning break in?" He reached out and pinched his wife's cheek, saying, "Unless you kiss me a few times; otherwise, no matter how Cangning acts outside, you can't go out and greet her!"

"Aren't you afraid of being joked?" Wei Changying was dumbfounded for a moment and growled.

Shen Cangfeng said with a smile, "No, the two of us will be ridiculed together! Having you accompanied, what am I worried about?"

Wei Changying was silent.

At this time, it seemed that Mrs. Wan had said something, and Shen Cangning was annoyed, "No matter what! No matter what! I will see the third sister-in-law! Yesterday, the third sister-in-law said that she was afraid that I wouldn't be invited! Now I'm here. But she doesn’t come out, what’s the point? Is it right as the second sister-in-law said that the third sister-in-law did not like me?! Are her words that she told yesterday insincere?"

Just now Wei Changying was still fighting with Shen Cangfeng. Now after she heard the words, her face changed suddenly. Shen Cangfeng also frowned and asked, "Has the second sister-in-law ever said that?"

"After you walked away yesterday, the second sister-in-law made a few jokes, but Cangning has remembered them." Wei Changying shoved him. This time Shen Cangfeng got up and helped her sit down. The two were busy tidying up their clothes.

Wei Changying raised the golden hairpin on her hair and looked at Shen Cangfeng, "Do you know how I offend the second sister-in-law?"

Shen Cangfeng said in a deep voice, "You just come here, and how can you offend the second sister-in-law? I suppose that someone has instigated it. Let's go out and ask Cangning."

Seeing her brother and brother-in-law coming out together, Shen Cangning, who was still in trouble outside, immediately stomped her feet and left Mrs. Wan and others behind. She greeted them and complained, "Third brother and third sister-in-law, what do you mean? I'm here for a while, but Granny Wan doesn’t let me in!"

Shen Cangfeng looked at her frowning and said, "We are discussing how to clean up the yard. Why do you come here?" Then he looked at Shen Shuyan, who was held in the arms by the wet nurse, and said softly, "Shuyan, why are you coaxed here by your fourth aunt?"

Shen Shuyan hadn't spoken yet, Shen Cangning felt wronged and said, "We come to see the third sister-in-law. It is an appointment with the third sister-in-law!"

Wei Changying couldn't retort, thinking, "It was just politeness. When do I make an appointment with you?" Shen Cangfeng clearly understood the sister's temperament and sighed, "Don't make trouble! Come in and sit down first."

After sitting down, Shen Cangning winked at Shen Shuyan, so Shen Shuyan went close to Wei Changying. The little girl was cute. Although her mother seemed to be hostile to Wei Changying, her big grape-like, flickered eyes made Wei Changying reach out and hug her, "Does Shuyan want to have a snack?"

Shen Shuyan took a piece of kidney bean cake in her hand and took a bite in her mouth. Then she turned to look at Shen Cangning, seeming that she didn't know how to speak out.

Shen Cangning frequently winked to her, and then Shen Cangfeng said, "Why you bring Shuyan to see your third sister-in-law?"

"Shuyan heard that there are countless precious books in the family of the third sister-in-law, so she wanted to borrow some from the third sister-in-law," said Shen Cangning, seeing that Shen Shuyan didn't say anything.

Wei Changying frowned. Her temper was not bad. On the second day after the marriage, the younger aunt and niece had joined their hands to ask for her dowry. Everyone else would be angry. Fortunately, Shen Cangfeng first reprimanded Shen Cangning, "That’s the Wei Family’s collection of classics, what’s the matter with your third sister-in-law? And even if your third sister-in-law has them, they are hers and how can you just borrow them?"

Shen Cangning pouted and said, "See, the third brother, you're so fierce! I'm asking the third sister-in-law!"

Wei Changying said lukewarmly, "But it's unlucky that I just got married, so the things have been messed up and they have not been sorted out. I was afraid that I couldn't find them for a while."

Shen Cangning was very disappointed when she heard it, "When will they be sorted out?"

It was really endless!

Wei Changying had been spoiled since childhood. No one dared to entangle her with unwilling things. If Shen Cangning had been her sister, she would have already reproached her. But she was not her sister but her sister-in-law, so she had to say perfunctorily, "The courtyard remains to be cleaned up. It's uncertain."

"The third sister-in-law, can you ask someone to tell me if all is packed up?" Shen Cangning said.

Wei Changying glanced at Shen Cangfeng, and Shen Cangfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Shuyan has always been a little weak. I'm afraid the second sister-in-law will be worried after she comes out for a long time. Granny Wan, please send her back to the second branch."

Shen Cangning said, "Shuyan..."

Halfway through her words, she was glared by Shen Cangfeng. Although Shen Cangning was self-willed, she still revered his brother. She pouted and said nothing.

But Shen Shuyan was anxious and said with a child's voice, "Third Uncle, I don't want to go back now."

"Good girl," said Shen Cangfeng, smiling, putting a tribute orange on her hand, "Today is windy. You should go back to put more clothes on, and then the third uncle will pick you up and let your third aunt play with you."

Shen Shuyan’s wet nurse did not dare to refute that it was in April, and the weather was most pleasant. When the weather was hotter, people should change the summer clothes. But there was no reason to put clothes on. Shen Shuyan was taken away by coaxing.

After the niece and the servants of the second branch left, Wei Changying was pulled by Mrs. Huang, and she came to understand, stood up, and said, "I'm a little tired. I will go inside and lie down for a while. Cangning, you talk with your third brother for a while." Before they answered, she had turned around and entered the inner room.

Mrs. Huang, Mrs. He and others also retreated.

Seeing everyone gone, Shen Cangfeng looked at her sister and said, "Why do you covet the Dowry of your third sister-in-law?"

Shen Cangning diverted her eyesight and said, "Not me! Shuyan loves these things, so I accompany her to ask."

"You can deceive our mother with these words, but you can't deceive me," Shen Cangfeng sneered and said, "You think I have no idea if you keep silent? Let me think about it..." he narrowed his eyes, saying, "Since last year, you and the Misses of Liu family played well?"

"Do you want to give the Dowry of your third sister-in-law to the Liu Family?" Shen Cangfeng's face sank!

Shen Cangning became suddenly anxious, "How can you think so, the third brother! Am I that kind of person!" Her voice couldn't help but grow up, "Before the third sister-in-law married into our family last year, the Liu Family deliberately slandered the third sister-in-law for the sake of Liu Xixun, making you so detracted that you can’t continue to serve in the royal court. These days I have been wondering how to retaliate for you. How will I help the Liu Family?"

On the pretext of lying down for a while, Wei Changying, who took a teacup and stuck it on the door with her ears eavesdropping, bit her lower lip and said, "This sister-in-law doesn't seem to be so capricious as expected."

"We will handle the Liu Family's affairs. There is no need for you to worry about," Shen Cangfeng was unmoved, saying, "Besides, if you want to take revenge on the Liu Family, why will you ask for the dowry of your third sister-in-law? She just married here. Fortunately, your third-sister-in-law is kind; otherwise, any straight person will blame you in front of the mother! Even I and our parents haven't asked for the dowry of your third sister-in-law, but you...."

Seeing that she was considered to be robbing her sister-in-law's dowry and partial to the political enemies, Shen Cangning said hurriedly, "No, brother, listen to me! I'm doing it for you and my third sister-in-law!"

"Ah?"

"Because, in addition to the third sister-in-law, even our mother and father can't ask for it. So, the third brother, what if the precious things in the dowry fell into the Liu Family? Then, how can the Liu Family defend?"

Shen Cangfeng said with a blank expression, "With such a small trick, how can you plant to the Liu Family?"

"Let me finish!" Shen Cangning said dissatisfiedly, "I haven't finished it, and how do you know my idea is bad? Well, after Shuyan and I borrow the ancient books from the dowry of the third sister-in-law, they will appear inexplicably at the Liu Family."

Shen Cangfeng waited for a while and asked, "What then?"

"It's gone; that's it," Shen Cangning said happily, "The facts are there, so we can go to query them!"

Shen Cangfeng exhaled and laughed, "Then, how can the ancient books come to the Liu Family?"

"Isn't the sister of our first sister-in-law living in our house? When she comes back, we can quietly stuff the books in her package, can't we?"

"Can’t she find out when coming back?"

"So we follow her, and as soon as she steps into the Liu Family, we swarm up! It will be determined that they have stolen something!"

Shen Cangfeng sighed, "What about the first sister-in-law?"

"The first sister-in-law has married into our home, so, of course, she has been a member of our family. Besides, the miss of the Liu Family, who now stays in our home, is not a lineal sister but a cousin. If the first sister-in-law is unhappy, I will go to ask for her forgiveness. Anyway, the big brother is here, and can the first sister-in-law kill me?" Shen Cangning showed her self-confidence of being pampered and determined to plant the Liu Family.

She said then, "And Third Brother, do you know why I will use the dowry of the third sister-in-law as this bait?"

She didn't wait for Shen Cangfeng to answer and explained proudly, "This is because the third sister-in-law just married here, and there are the first sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. If it weren't for the third sister-in-law's things were stolen, how could she go to the Liu Family and query them? I heard that the third sister-in-law once shocked people with a sword on the highway! She killed hundreds of soldiers of the northern tribes and even their head! Since the third sister-in-law is here, the Liu Family will be punished this time! How dare they scheme you!"

Shen Cangfeng touched his chin and muttered, "Then what's the reason that you have Shuyan accompanied?"

"Of course, it's for scheming the second sister-in-law!" Shen Cangning said excitedly, "It's easier to fish in the dirty water. No, not this saying, it should be that the law will not blame the public! If my mother knows this plan, she will definitely beat me! But in this way, the first sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, and Shuyan are on the united front with me! Can the mother hit everyone? If not, why will she beat me alone? The third brother, do you think my plan to revenge for you is excellent?"

Before her words finished, a clatter in the inner room spread as if something had fallen.

"Nothing. I think your third sister-in-law has got up to pour tea and broken the tea bow," Shen Cangfeng sighed, then pounded the desk, and shouted, "Now, you should go back to your yard obediently and copy ‘Liu Tao’ ten times!"

The complacent Shen Cangning widened her eyes and asked aggrieved, "Why!"

"Don't you follow?" Shen Cangfeng sneered, "Tuanyue, come in! Go to tell the Madam all the ideas of Fourth Miss!"

Seeing Shen Cangning's tears and grievances, he sneered, "It is so ridiculous and flawed to believe such a scheme. But you still think you are clever. How can you fight with others in the future? It’s really a shame to our family! You always don't read and learn carefully. Go to copy!"
