620 A Farce (1)

Hearing that the Wang family had sent someone over, Concubine Wan looked out with a trembling body. Now that all the blame was pinned on Shen Dongling, if the Wang family wanted to pursue this matter, they would definitely punish her. Concubine Wan only had one daughter, so how could she not be heartbroken? Unfortunately, she was too weak to do anything.

Everyone looked at each other. Old Madam Shen said, “Invite them in.”

The people who came were a dark and strong woman and a few maids. With a dark face, the woman walked in. Her arms were thick and her posture was forbidding, looking like she was here to interrogate everyone.

Seeing that Concubine Wan was crying to the ground, the woman was expressionless. Everyone realized that she was probably here to question them. Old Madam Shen frowned and was about to speak when she heard the woman ask, “May I ask where Concubine Wan is?”

Concubine Wan’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt extreme despair. Chen Ruoqiu heaved a sigh of relief. If the Wang family wanted to vent their anger on Concubine Wan, the Shen family would definitely not stop them. Chen Ruoqiu even thought that it would be better if Concubine Wan and her daughter were tortured to death.

At the thought of this, Chen Ruoqiu smiled and went forward. “When we heard what happened yesterday, we were also very shocked. We didn’t expect Third Miss to do such an abhorrent thing. However, my daughter is innocent. I think Young Master Wang is also very angry. This is our fault for raising such a scheming daughter. I hope that after the in-laws calm down, they can accept my daughter. I’ve already told my daughter to be more wary of people around her. This matter is really…”

The dark-skinned woman ignored Chen Ruoqiu and asked again with a dark expression, “May I ask where Concubine Wan is?”

Everyone was stunned. Chen Ruoqiu did not expect this old woman to dare to ignore her like this. However, in front of everyone, she had to maintain her usual gentle and amiable persona. In addition, the Wang family was the victim in this matter, so she could not say anything. Old Madam Shen said in a low voice, “The person kneeling on the ground is Concubine Wan.”

Concubine Wan looked sad, but to everyone’s surprise, the dark-skinned woman reached out to help Concubine Wan up. Not only did she not use violence on her at all, but her attitude was also respectful. She said, “Eldest Young Madam misses her mother and asked me to bring her back to live with her. I specially made a trip here to take her back. I hope Old Madam Shen will allow it.”

As soon as she said that, everyone in Rongjing Hall was stunned.

What did she mean by Eldest Young Madam missing her mother and wanting her mother to go over to live with her?

Who was Eldest Young Madam? Who was Eldest Young Madam’s mother? Was it Shen Dongling? Was it Concubine Wan?

When Chen Ruoqiu saw the dark-skinned woman help Concubine Wan up, she already had a bad feeling. When she heard this, she almost fainted. Shen Wan’s face darkened and he said, “What do you mean?”

The dark-skinned woman looked at Shen Wan and asked in confusion, “I don’t quite understand what Third Master Shen is asking. Can you explain it more clearly?”

Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu were both a little angry at the same time. This old woman was clearly pretending to not understand. She clearly knew something, but she pretended to be stupid. Did she want them to say that the bride was actually swapped?

Shen Wan and Chen Ruoqiu couldn’t bring themselves to say it, but Old Madam Shen didn’t have this concern. She straightened her back and said, “You’re wrong. Yesterday, the bride was swapped. The bride in the Wang family is actually Third Miss Shen instead of Second Miss Shen. We were in the middle of discussing what to do about it. How dare a servant like you play fool with us?”
