Chapter 121
Visiting Shen's house before getting engaged, it's fine if it's not on the surface, the wife of Shen's family made such a move, she insisted on revealing her identity, I'm afraid it won't be over today, everyone in the capital knows Shen Xiao has an eager fiancée.

Shen Xiao ignored Zong Che and walked in.

"Brother, I didn't lie." Shen Ying's eyes were red when she saw her elder brother, "I also want to protect Miss An as you said, but she doesn't need my protection at all."

"Xiao'er, do you still insist?" Mrs. Shen leaned on the crutch in her hand, her heartbroken expression was palpable, "For you, I will still, but look, is such a woman worth it?"

At this moment, the maid next to Mrs. Shen lowered her head and whispered something in her ear. When speaking, her gaze was always on An Xu's wrist.

This movement was so obvious that everyone noticed it.

What else is there?
"Xu'er, what's going on?" Shen Xiao turned around and asked An Xu.

When An Xu heard such a question, a soreness quickly reached from her nose to her eyes. She smiled and said, "I won't do that kind of thing."

"It's a stubborn one—" Mrs. Shen said.

She seemed to have something to say, but before she could say it, a voice came in, it was Mrs. Shen, and she said with a smile: "Miss An is wearing a blood jade bracelet from our daughter-in-law of the Shen family, right? "

This statement attracted everyone's attention. Third Grandpa Shen had his birthday, and those who came to celebrate his birthday were either relatives or people who had close contacts with the Shen family.

We all know that the Shen family has such a bracelet, which was given by the ancestors from Emperor Ren'an back then. It is said that the blood jade bracelet is good for women's health if worn for a long time. Since then, it has been passed on as a token to the eldest wife .

It's just that this is a gift from the royal family after all, the daughter-in-law of the Shen family has received the blood jade bracelets for two generations, Shen Xiao's grandmother and mother, it is not because they are not on occasions that they would not wear this pair of jade bracelets.

Unexpectedly, this girl surnamed An hadn't been able to become the granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family, but she had brought a family heirloom bracelet first.

For a moment, all the people present looked at An Xu in a wrong way.

"It's too frivolous," someone said: "Isn't the imperial gift, which one of us puts it on the incense table as an offering, and only wear it on the day you enter the palace?"

Shen Xiao wanted to say that it was her grandmother who told her to wear it, and what she was wearing was not the Shen family's blood jade bracelet.

But having said that, so what?Is it true that grandma is framing An Xu?Or did the blood jade bracelet break when it reached An Xu's hands?

Shen Xiao didn't speak for a while, and Mrs. Shen spoke again: "Mrs. Qin, don't misunderstand the little girl. The blood jade bracelet was kept by my mother-in-law after Sister Zhou went away. It can be kept by Miss An. It must have been approved by my mother-in-law."

"What do you want to do?" Mrs. Shen was so angry that she straightened her crutches and looked at Qin sternly.

Qin said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, you see that you have given all the blood jade bracelets to Miss An, and you must value her very much. In order not to embarrass Xiao'er, we have to find out what happened today."

"Even Yinger saw it? What else are you looking for?" Mrs. Shen said, looking at An Xu's wrist, "I really didn't give her the blood jade bracelet."

One word was exported, and the uproar continued.

"What do you mean? Could it be that Mr. Shen who she encouraged stole it for her?"

"In order to marry into the Shen family, I really did everything I could."

"Looking at her attire, she doesn't look like someone with a family background, no wonder she is so busy."

There was a wave of ugly words, and the noble ladies and ladies on weekdays were no different from the women on the street who loved to spread gossip.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The magpie and the partridge both defended the front, arguing: "Our young lady has never been to the Shen's house, so how could she steal your Shen's bracelet?"

The maid next to Mrs. Shen also showed surprise at this moment.

This is not quite the same as what the old lady ordered before, is it?

But the maid quickly reacted and said: "You have never entered our house, but our young master called you out every three days. Our old lady gave the blood jade bracelet to the young master a long time ago. Who knows where your young lady is?" Steal it or coax it away."

Mrs. Shen said firmly: "Yesterday, Xiao'er told me that the blood jade bracelet was lost."

"Grandmother?" Shen Xiao couldn't bear it any longer, and looked at the grandmother who raised him in shock and amazement, feeling extremely strange.

"Xiao'er, are you sure you want to marry such a surreptitious woman with low moral character?" Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Xiao seriously and asked.

It's your choice, tell the truth to protect the reputation of such a woman, or discredit our Shen family?

Shen Xiao turned his head, facing An Xu's expressionless face.

She wasn't intimidated, and she didn't seem distressed.

When we met for the first time at night, when he entered through the window at night, she was able to deal with it calmly without making a sound, so this matter is not a big deal to Xu'er, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Xiao wanted to give himself a slap, but he couldn't let someone as old as his grandmother bear the reputation of lying and slandering the younger generation.

"That day, on a whim, I showed Xu'er the blood jade bracelet." Shen Xiao said slowly word by word, and watched her look at him, from emotionless to cold, to mocking.

Shen Xiao couldn't say what to say next, but he still took a deep breath of the warm spring air, carrying the coldness in his chest, and continued: "She knows that this is passed down from generation to generation by the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and she really wants it, but I I didn’t give it to my grandmother before I got her permission. She probably liked it better, so she chose a pair of blood jade bracelets similar to my family’s and always wore them.”

An Xu looked at Shen Xiao and said, "Your Shen family are really exactly the same."

Mrs. Shen was not satisfied at all, and said: "Xiao'er, you clearly told grandma that the blood jade bracelet was lost."

Shen Xiao said: "I didn't lose it, I just didn't find it for a while, and when I found it later, I forgot to tell my grandmother."

"You guys need to unify your rhetoric." Zong Che didn't stand up until this time, and said: "Stealing the imperial gift, at the least, you have to go to Dali Temple. But to frame someone for stealing the imperial gift, The lightest is ten boards. The old lady is not young, but she can stand ten boards, right Mr. Shen?"

Shen Xiao glanced at Zong Che with fierce eyes, then cupped his hands and said to the crowd: "It's all a misunderstanding, but I didn't make it clear to my grandmother."

"Xiao'er," said Mrs. Shen, what else would she say.

Shen Xiao said: "Grandma, do you want me to take out the bracelet now?"

Mrs. Shen stopped talking now.

Shen Xiao walked towards An Xu, stopped a few steps away from her, bowed his fists, and said: "Miss An, thank you for your kindness, but we don't have that fate after all."

"Pooh."

Magpie spit on Shen Xiao and scolded: "What a shameless young master, if you hadn't been pestering me so hard back then, my lady would have taken care of you?"

Then he said to the women around him who were all watching the show: "You better be careful, don't even think about marrying this Shen family, but if the old lady doesn't like it, she will be splashed with dirty water." .”

But no one appreciated it. Those people looked at the magpie's master and servant with mockery on their faces.Mrs. Shen San covered her lips with a veil, and said: "This is really funny. The marriage of the children does not depend on the arrangements of the elders. We have never seen a lady like yours in the capital city. Maybe this is in your family's eyes. It’s nothing in a small place, but here we call it shameless.”

Enthusiasm kept welling up in his eyes, An Xu looked at Shen Xiao: "You just let your family humiliate me like this?"

Shen Xiao didn't dare to look at her, and said to Mrs. Shen, "Third Aunt, don't tell me, I seduced her back then."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Shen slapped Shen Xiao on the face, and then fell back gasping for breath.

Despite all the careful planning, it still caused a scandal.

An Xu looked coldly at the mess of the Shen family, but he was no longer in the mood to stay here and deal with it. When he turned to leave, a voice said: "You can't just listen to what Xiao'er said, you have to let me check. Is the bracelet on your hand the blood jade bracelet from my family?"

Mrs. Shen looked back, smiled and said to An Xu: "This is our third daughter, but what she said makes sense. Ms. An, we can all see that my Xiao'er is protecting you."

Mrs. Shen, who was just about to wake up, heard this sentence, but she couldn't catch her breath again, and fainted.

Mrs. Shen didn't care, and continued: "In case what you wear on your hand is real, keep it, and we won't pursue it."

Shen's daughter-in-law's blood jade bracelet, she must get it in her hand, and in the future, she has to pass it on to her son's daughter-in-law.

An Xu glanced at Mrs. Shen, while Shen Xiao only looked at Mrs. Shen worriedly, as if he didn't hear Mrs. Shen's words at all.

Only then did Zong Che take a step forward, trying to get to An Xu's side.

An Xu glanced at him, and he stopped abruptly.

She lifted the table from her wrist, held it up in the air, and said to Mrs. Shen: "Did you see clearly? But your bracelet?"

No, it's not.

How could it not be?

Mrs. Shen's complexion changed, and Madam Chen got reliable news that the old lady handed over the blood jade bracelet and asked Shen Xiao to give it to the girl.

At that time, she knew that the old lady must have schemes, but why didn't she have any.

"Really?" An Xu asked word by word.

Madam Shen shook her head in embarrassment.

An Xu then threw the bracelet on the ground viciously, looked at Shen Xiao and said, "The two of us, we will break each other with one knife."

The bracelet fell to the ground and shattered into several petals.

Shen Xiao couldn't help calling "Xu'er".

An Xu said: "Young Master Shen, please be more polite. By the way, take care of your sister and grandmother, and if you dare to plot against me in the future, I will never just let it go."

An Xu left, Zong Che gave Shen Xiao a mocking look, and followed him.

As for Mr. Shen, his complexion was gloomy after he took so much trouble to arrange for the old father's birthday, but he still had to keep his temper and told someone to ask the doctor to show the old lady a look.
