Chapter 105: Unharmed (8)

Ren Wanyun did not know why she was so agitated. Seeing Shen Gui like this, the words Shen Miao said in Rongjing Hall echoed in her ears.
When Shen Gui found out that something had happened to Shen Qing, the first thing he thought of was not to check on Shen Qing’s injuries, but to discipline Shen Miao. This was definitely not something a real father would do. Shen Gui did not care about his daughter’s life at all. Perhaps to Shen Gui, Shen Qing was just a valuable object. In the past, he was willing to raise her because she was valuable. Now that she was worthless, he was unwilling to even look at her.
The effect of Shen Miao’s instigation was very low in Rongjing Hall, but it finally took effect.
“You shrew!” Shen Gui was often flattered in the bureaucracy, and he had never been pointed at and scolded. However, although he was angry, he knew that he could not completely fall out with Ren Wanyun, so he sneered and said, “You said that I’m not a good father, but have you ever been a good mother? You brought QIng to the Wolong Temple, and she should be taken care of by you. You were by her side, but you let her get into trouble under your nose. Didn’t you stay next door to her that night? If you really loved her, how could you not notice that something happened to her?”
As soon as he said that, Ren Wanyun was immediately stunned.
What she regretted and hated the most was last night in the north pavilion. She clearly heard a cry for help and had a chance to save her daughter, but she chose to do nothing. Now, Shen Gui was poking a knife into her heart and rubbing salt into her wound, making her stand rooted to the ground.
Seeing that she was silent, Shen Gui snorted and turned to leave, going to visit God knew which concubine.
Ren Wanyun stood there in a daze for a moment. Suddenly, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. She covered her face and cried softly.
Xianglan and Caiju were both afraid and shocked. They had never seen their madam like this. Now, Ren Wanyun looked like she had lost everything overnight.
After crying for a long time, Ren Wanyun wiped her eyes and stood up again. She said, “Bring me a pen and paper. I want to write a letter to Yuan.”
Shen Yuan was the eldest son of the second branch. He was taking a post in Liuzhou and would return to the capital to become an official once his term was up.
Among the three branches, Shen Yue was someone to be most proud of. In the second branch, Shen Yuanbai was young, and Shen Qing was not talented. However, Shen Yuan was blessed by the heavens. He took the scholarly examination at a young age and did things well. WIth his son around, Shen Gui would even visit his concubines less.
“Even if I can’t rely on your father, I still have your brother.” Ren Wanyun glanced at Shen Qing, who was sleeping on the bed, and gritted her teeth. “Yuan dotes on you the most. This time, I will make Shen Miao regret what she did for the rest of her life!”
......
Xianglan quickly ran to get a pen and paper. Ren Wanyun took a deep breath and said to Cai Ju, “Are those girls still alive?”
“The four maids and Nanny Gui are all in the woodshed. Madam, do you want us to…”
These maids were naturally the ones who saw what happened to Shen Qing. There were Shen Qing’s maids, Yan Mei, Shui Bi, Shen Yue’s maids, Qing Luan, Huang Ying, and Nanny Gui.
“Make Shen Yue’s maids unable to speak and give them back to Shen Yue. As for Qing’s maids…” Ren Wanyun said fiercely,” Sell them to a brothel. I won’t let them die so easily. If they fail to protect their Miss, they surely have to be severely punished.
