OBS Chapter 236 Grandfather
Chapter 236 Grandfather
"Can you ask Grandfather to compensate me for my mental damages?"
Yunli's target was not Jiang, but Shen Hongtai who was pretending to be dead next to him.
How could such a good thing happen if the culprit Meimei disappeared? If I don't make him bleed heavily, how can I justify all the words I have wasted today?
"I'll let Siyu send it to you as compensation."
Shen Hongtai waved his hand, looked at Shen Qingzhu and Xu again, then sighed and ran away.
Shen Qingzhu bit her lip and cursed inwardly for being so shallow-minded and shamelessly asking for money. However, she showed a strong smile on her face and asked weakly, "Sister, are you short of money? I still have some here. If you need it, just take it..."
"Thank you, Sister Qingzhu."
Yunli walked up hurriedly, with his hand almost reaching Shen Qingzhu's neck with his palm facing up.
Shen Qingzhu's face was almost pale.
This country girl!
How can he be so shameless as to ask her for money!
But after all, she said it herself. Wouldn't it be a joke if she went back on her word?
So she took out a silver note of 100 taels and a small silver ingot of 5 taels from her purse, put them in Yunli's palm and reluctantly said, "Sister, there is not much silver left. I wonder if it is enough for me?"
"It's really little." Yunli nodded, withdrew her hand with disdain, and put the money into her pocket, "Of course it's not enough. I didn't expect that my sister, who has been a girl of the Shen family for more than ten years, can still be so poor. But after all, it's a gift from my sister. Although it's very poor, I still accept it."
Shen Qingzhu and Xu's faces turned red with embarrassment.
It was the first time for both of them to be called poor today, and it was a country bumpkin who called them poor. They were extremely sad and angry.
"Sister, have you ever seen more silver..."
Before Shen Qingzhu could finish her words of dissatisfaction, Xu covered her mouth.
Although she didn't know how much money Yunli had, she heard that her father-in-law had subsidized this girl with more than one million taels of silver! Calling her a bumpkin who had never seen silver, wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Yunli didn't intend to quit while she was ahead. She looked at Shen Qingzhu and smiled, "I originally thought that you were a wealthy person because you were wearing silk and satin that cost thousands of taels of silver each and none of the accessories you wore cost less than ten thousand taels. But when I took out your purse, I found that you only had a mere hundred taels. Tsk tsk tsk. People who didn't know would think that the Shen family went bankrupt just to buy those things for you to show off."
Jiang patted the back of Yunli's hand gently and rebuked her without any care, "Nonsense. You have everything she has, too."
Shen Qingzhu's face turned pale and she looked at Jiang in disbelief.
It was in vain that she had tried to please this old woman all the time, but she refused to give a cent to her! But what she meant now was that she had already given Shen Qingyun a large amount of jewelry!
It’s not fair, not fair at all!
Xu held her daughter's hand tightly, her heart filled with anger. But she had a dowry and her father-in-law secretly supported her, so she was not too anxious.
There was no point in staying any longer, so Xu bowed and said, "My daughter-in-law will take Zhuzhu back first."
Jiang just nodded, and Yunli showed no intention of getting up to see them off, so the two of them had to leave Zhengde Hall in a hurry and go to Xu's courtyard.
Jiang and the others walked away, and then he sighed, "Did your grandfather's behavior disappoint Yun'er?"
"That's not true, grandma. I never had any hope for him, so how could I be disappointed?"
Yunli smiled and shook his head. "As soon as Grandfather showed up, I knew that Shen Qingzhu's attempt to frame me would not go anywhere. But Grandfather took quick action to deal with the maids around Shen Qingzhu, which surprised me."
Jiang tapped Yunli's nose, then smiled and explained, "The master is the master, and the servant is the servant. If a servant of a fake master dares to attack the legitimate master of the family, if your grandfather does not punish him, the Shen family will be broken up."
"Then grandpa is quite willing to give it up."
Yunli originally thought that the ten or so masters in the mansion were no match for Xu Manxiu and Shen Qingzhu.
Jiang smiled somewhat bewilderedly, "You, don't bother with your grandfather. He is a fool."
"I don't think my grandfather is a fool. He is very smart. He also knows that Xu is stupid and he is afraid that something bad will happen to her, so he arranged his own people for her."
When Yunli said this, he was just a spectator, and there was some pity in his eyes when he looked at Jiang.
Grandma, this can be considered as meeting the wrong person, right?
A noble lady married to such a thing. In Shen Hongtai's heart, she was probably not even as high as Xu's status. "But grandma, why does grandpa favor Xu so much? I don't think it's immoral..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang slapped him on the back of his hand.
"You have no respect for your grandfather. You even make up stories about him."
Jiang said angrily.
This is really unpleasant to hear. If it gets out, it will be a stigma on my granddaughter.
"Grandma looks like she knows. Tell me now, Grandma!"
Yunli saw that Jiang was calm and composed, and immediately guessed that she was an insider, which was why she never doubted Xu, the fool.
So he kept pulling Jiang's hand and shaking it, saying coquettishly, "Good grandmother, just tell me!"
Jiang was shaken for a while, then she couldn't help shaking her hands and laughing, "It's not something that can't be said. You know, my grandmother is the daughter of the Jiang family. Since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmakers' words, when a daughter reaches a certain age, she must get married."
At this point, Jiang sighed with some melancholy, "Parents value family background and status, so they naturally chose a son who is well-matched for your grandmother. This person is your grandfather.
Unexpectedly, your grandfather already had someone in his heart that he liked. But your great-grandparents did not approve of that girl, and that girl married another son of a noble family, so your grandfather married me.
After the girl got married, her husband went to the frontier to fight. They didn't see each other for a year or two, so the girl didn't get pregnant. It wasn't until I was pregnant with your uncle that I heard the good news. But fate played tricks on people. The general died on the battlefield before the child was born.
The more I listen to Yunli, the more familiar it becomes, and the more ridiculous it seems.
She asked her grandmother uncertainly, "Grandma, the family you are talking about, could it be my grandfather and grandmother whom I have never met?"
