One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Mrs Zhao's face was ashen. Her hand, which was placed beside her, ruthlessly pulled at the hem of her skirt. Her head was full of golden threads as she shook it vigorously, showing her current restlessness.

Shen Ling Han immediately ran to Mrs Zhao's side and knelt down again beside her arm. Her jade like eyes were filled with tears: "Father, mother has always been kind to people, and this time I neglected her because she cares too much about you. If it weren't for the fact that she wants to maintain her image in your heart, she wouldn't have forgotten her rationality after listening to a few words of a servant. "Ling Han is willing to apologize to her sister in place of her mother, please don't be angry."

The corner of Shen Dong's eyes twitched. Finally, he stepped forward and helped Shen Ling Han up, "You have always been the most kind-hearted girl, and you also have the least guts. Alright, this is because your mother did something wrong, so it's fine for Ning Hua to understand."

Shen Ninghua's expression suddenly changed. He coldly sneered in his heart. Shen Dong's words were clearly forcing her to express her understanding! She just ignored his words.

"Originally, because of her body, Xiao Hua left the Shen family for a long time and was unable to show her filial piety in front of her grandmother, father and mother. "Originally, I wanted to come back and make it up, but I didn't expect to make things so difficult for my mother. Since that's the case, Father, Xiao Hua will request for your permission to go to another village to recuperate."

Shen Dong slightly frowned, the line on his lips becoming tighter.

Mrs Zhao almost bit her teeth into pieces after hearing this, she actually ignored the step that Shen Dong gave her.

"Nonsense!" The madame pulled Shen Ninghua up and used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, "Little girl, what nonsense are you spouting? The Shen family is your home. Since you've returned, how can you possibly leave? Boss, are you trying to force her out of the Shen family? "

Seeing that the Xiao family was angry, Shen Dong quickly helped her take her tea and said, "Mother, you're talking nonsense. Xiao Hua is my daughter, why would I kick her out? "The courtyard that Ning Hua lives in is too remote. Tomorrow, someone will help her move to Moon Facing Residence. This matter shall be arranged by the Zhao Clan."

Mrs Zhao's face was pale and she was filled with hatred, but she had no choice but to agree. "Yes, I will personally help Ning Hua move the yard. If she lacks anything, immediately give it to her."

Shen Zhu nodded his head, "In a few days it will be the madame's birthday. Ling Han, you can go back to your yard and write down a hundred times for your birthday. Mother, please calm down. If there's anything you need to tell Mrs Zhao, let her do it immediately."

The Zhao Family was like the sun in the sky, the Xiao Family also knew that Shen Dong couldn't make the Zhao Family too embarrassed. Seeing them like this today was already a relief, many things couldn't be taken slowly.

"Xiao Hua, do you have anything else to say?"

Shen Ninghua bit her lips and looked at Shen Dong and the First Wife with slight unease. "My daughter has nothing else to do. It's only a month from the day of my birth mother's death. I want to visit her yard."

Mrs Zhao's expression was extremely ugly. Shen Ninghua entered the yard and already knew that almost all Mrs Xia's dowry had been broken up. What kind of reputation would she have then?

"Ninghua, your grandmother's birthday is coming up in a few days. You should go to your mother's yard after the birthday feast. After all, it wouldn't be good if they were to offend her." Mrs Zhao said stiffly.

"I was inconsiderate. Mother said yes, so let's talk about it after some time." Shen Ninghua replied with an embarrassed look on his face.

Mistress Xiao glanced at Mrs Zhao: "The Shen family has always had the demeanor of the Shen family. No matter what happens, don't forget your dignity. Alright, today is enough of a ruckus, I'll be going back." After she finished speaking, she supported Second Wife Su's arm and walked out.

"Greetings to mother (grandmother)."

"Ling Han was also frightened today, go back and call the doctor to come and have a look. Alright, help your mother go back." After saying that, Shen Dong turned to look at Shen Ninghua. "You …" Tell your mother what you need. "

Shen Ninghua trembled and raised her head to look at Shen Dong. Her dark eyes were laced with the color of billowing water as she replied, "Yes, thank you, Father."

"En!" Shen Dong's figure paused for a moment, then he walked out.

Zhao Yunxiang took a long look at Shen Ninghua and brought Shen Lingghan back to the backyard.

She picked up the silk handkerchief and slowly wiped the tears off her face. The smile on her lips didn't have a trace of warmth. Today's incident was only a warning. If the First Madam dared to take the initiative, she would rip off a layer of her skin!

When they returned to their own courtyard, Shen Ling Han immediately jumped into Mrs Zhao's arms and wailed, "Mother, that slut, Shen Ninghua, caused her daughter to lose so much face. How could father not punish her? My daughter is really angry …"

Moon Viewing Residence was right next to her courtyard. It was the only place that could be compared to her snowy residence, and her father was actually going to help Shen Ninghua stay there! There was still a hundred copies of the Filial Sutra. How could she finish copying it in such a short amount of time? She was clearly trying to restrict her from copying, so why would her father treat her like this? Could it be that Father is preparing to support Shen Ninghua?

Shen Ling Han raised her head with a gloomy expression on her face, making her pretty face look twisted, "Do we have to make that Shen Ninghua continue acting arrogantly?"

"It's a big plan if you don't put up with it. Today's matter will definitely spread outside. The Shen family's reputation cannot be tarnished, and even more so, you must not be tainted. Therefore, today it can only be a misunderstanding. Someone wants to frame you two. "Ling Han, you have to go a long way in the future, so you have to know how to endure, do you understand?" The first wife stared at Shen Ling Han and sighed in relief when she saw her nod.

She had already calculated in her heart that Shen Ling Han was the most valuable weight for the Shen family and the Zhao family. If she wanted to be as pure and flawless as a fairy at all times, not a single speck of filth would be able to touch her. As for Shen Ninghua, if she failed to design it this time, there were tens of thousands of chances, so she didn't believe that she wouldn't die!

"Alright, you can go back first. I have something to say to Senior Servant Qin."

"Yes." Shen Ling Han stood up and was helped out by the maidservant.

The moment Shen Ling Han left, the first lady's expression could no longer be maintained. She collapsed onto the chair, her relaxed face becoming more and more unsightly. Senior Servant Qin, who was standing to one side, jumped in fright. She hastily poured some tea for her to take a sip. "Madam, please don't be so angry."

"Momo, how could I not be angry? I never thought that Shen Ninghua would take advantage of me today." "Right now, I must not only endure her, but also take back the dowry that the Xia family had given away as soon as possible …" Mrs Zhao clutched her chest. Thinking of this, she felt as if her chest was about to explode.

Qin mama's eyes flickered. Back then, the first wife had tried to touch Lady Xia's dowry to persuade her to do so, but she couldn't hear it. All she wanted was to vent her anger, and now it was too late for regret.

Madam, the Xia clan has been dead for a long time. It's likely that no one has paid any attention to the amount of dowry. In that case, we can think of a way to recover some of the more valuable ones.

Mrs Zhao nodded. "What you said makes sense. That's all we can do now." Shen Ninghua repeatedly brought up Mrs Xia's dowry. She had already put off for a long time, not to mention whether the Xiao Family would intervene, even Shen Dong would probably have doubts in his heart. It would be better to quickly settle the matter.

Just as they finished speaking, the maidservant Chunxiang reported, "Madam, the maidservant Bi Zhu, the maidservant by the First Miss's side, has arrived."

"What is she doing here?" Mrs Zhao frowned and calmed her emotions. After tidying up her clothes, she said, "Let her in."

"Bi Zhu greets Madam." As soon as she entered the door, Bi Zhu took the lead to greet her respectfully.

Mrs Zhao had a faint smile on her face, without the slightest trace of her previous raging demeanor. "But Consolidating Flower had you come here, is there something wrong?"

Bi Zhu handed over two pieces of paper respectfully. "Reporting to Madam, the Miss asked this servant to tidy up the courtyard, and wanted to move to Moon Pavilion tomorrow. Originally, she did not want to say it, but Master and Madam said that they wanted you to fill in the missing items, so the servant helped you tidy up a bit, this is the list of missing items."

Looking at the densely written names on the two lists, Mrs Zhao's eyelids jumped. Although these items were all part of a large family's direct line, Shen Ninghua was previously like a transparent person in the Shen family, so he naturally didn't have anything. Now, it was impossible to get everything without paying several thousand taels of silver.

The little miss wants less than one-third of what Shen Lingghan has. The big lady is really black-hearted, she would not feel sorry for Shen Lingghan even if she had to give away more silver taels, even if the little miss wanted a penny, it would be like cutting her flesh. She wanted to take out two more pieces of paper.

"Madam, when Miss heard that you had trouble arranging your dowry, she asked me if I could find the dowry list. I didn't think that I would actually find it, so Miss had me send you a copy so that you could arrange it."

Madame Zhao's vision turned black as she panted heavily to suppress her flourishing fury. She bit her lips until they bled.

Senior Servant Qin was greatly alarmed and hurriedly took the dowry slip from Bi Zhu's hands. "This old servant shall accept it in place of Madam. Eldest Miss was also frightened today and has a rash on her. Lady Bi Zhu, quickly go back and take care of Eldest Miss."

"Yes, your servant will take his leave." Bi Zhu glanced at the first wife before turning to leave.

When she walked out of the door, Mrs Zhao's vision went dark and she suddenly fell off her chair.

Terrified out of her wits, Qin mama hurried forward. "Madam!"

Mrs Zhao fell to the ground, her fist viciously slamming into the ground. The exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist shattered, the shattered jade on her wrist was still unconscious. She shouted, "Momo, I will definitely take that slut Shen Ninghua's life!"

"Yes, ma'am, rest assured. This servant will definitely help you!" Qin mama's eyes were cold.
