Chapter 737: Many Cheats 58
Actually, Shen Erniang's husband's family also wanted to develop in the capital. After all, although they were local tyrants, who didn't want to make progress? Especially her husband's uncle, who had never been promoted to a sixth-rank position, and very much supported their family to go to the capital. After they settled down in the capital, he would become a bridge of communication between him and the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. Then they would find a way to transfer him to the capital and promote him. Then, their family would become Beijing residents and become prosperous.

This is why Shen Erniang did not marry into the family of a fifth-rank official in the capital, but married far away to the Shen family's hometown, and now ran to the capital.

Shen Erniang brought a large group of people from her husband's family to the capital, which naturally made Jing'an Earl furious. There was already a scandal about her in the capital, and she brought a large group of people from her husband's family with her, and came with her family to take advantage of Jing'an Earl's mansion. People in the capital would laugh at him, saying how could he raise such a daughter, so how could Jing'an Earl not be furious.

I thought it was all my fault that I couldn't bear to be ruthless when the scandal was exposed. If I had been ruthless enough, I would have killed her with illness, and now there wouldn't be endless scandals and I wouldn't be laughed at by others.

Because he was angry, when Jing'an Earl came back from court, he saw Shen Erniang and her whole family showing up. He called Shen Erniang over and scolded her severely, asking her why she came to the capital without telling anyone and brought her whole family with her. He said that whose son-in-law would live in his father-in-law's house? It would be fine if the young couple just stayed there for a while, but she brought her parents-in-law, brothers and sisters, and the whole family to live here without even notifying anyone in advance. Was she crazy?

However, Shen Erniang always felt that the reason why Jing'an Bo ignored her was because of her vicious stepmother's whispering. So this time when she went to the capital, she was afraid that if she told Jing'an Bo, he would not let her come back because of her vicious stepmother's whispering, so she came uninvited. If she came now, it would not be appropriate for her stepmother to ask her father to drive her family away.

At this moment, Jing'an Bo scolded her, and she just thought that her father was instigated by her vicious stepmother. After scolding Jing'an Bo's wife again in her heart, she said, "We don't plan to live in Jing'an Bo's mansion. We are just renting it for a while. When we buy a house in the capital, we will move out. Father, you know that they are rich and can afford it."

This is true. If the other family has no money, Marquis Jing'an would not marry his daughter to them. Therefore, although houses in the capital are very expensive, if one does not buy a house granted by the court like Marquis Jing'an's Mansion, and if one wants to buy a big house - after all, a small house will not be decent - it will definitely cost a lot of money, but Shen Erniang's husband's family can still afford it.

It's just that it's too big and it would cost a lot of money, which is not cost-effective. After all, with so much money, there are so many things to do. Why use it to buy such a big house in the capital? If it is not for helping my uncle's family communicate with the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, it would not be cost-effective.

But Shen Erniang's husband's uncle has been lingering at the sixth-rank official position for a long time and has never been promoted. Now that he has such a good background as the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, he naturally wants to take advantage of it. So even though the house in the capital is very expensive, Shen Erniang's husband's family plans to buy it.

Although they were helping the eldest wife, once the eldest wife became successful, it would also benefit their family, so the two families jointly paid for the purchase of this big house. In this way, they could naturally afford it, so Shen Erniang did not lie.

The Marquis of Jing'an knew what they were planning, and naturally knew that they couldn't stay in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion forever. After all, Shen Erniang's husband's family was a well-known figure in the local area, and it was impossible for them to be so shameless.

But, did he care about the fact that they were only staying in the mansion for a while? He cared about the fact that Shen Erniang ran back to the capital again, which embarrassed him!
Also, even if they only stayed in the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion for a while, I'm afraid that someone outside would laugh at their family. After all, if a concubine's daughter-in-law came to live with her family, who wouldn't laugh at her?

Even if ordinary people stay at a relative's house for a while, they won't bring their entire family, including servants. What kind of a look would that be? So Jing'an Bo said what he wanted to say, "Why did you come to the capital without making any noise? Wouldn't it be better to stay in your hometown?"

Why did he marry Shen Erniang far away? Wasn't it to make her stay away and out of his sight? In the end, she came back again. How could he not be angry? Wasn't it better for her to stay there? Why did she have to come and pollute his mind? Jing'an Bo couldn't stand the thought of being laughed at by others.

Shen Erniang said hurriedly, "It's my husband's uncle. He wants to ask you for help to transfer him to the capital, so he asked us to come to the capital, settle down first, and help contact you and him."

"…………" After hearing this, Earl Jing'an was speechless and wanted to curse. After all, the reason why he married Shen Er Niang far away was to prevent her from coming back. In the end, this family did not understand his meaning and even wanted to rely on Shen Er Niang as a springboard to come to the capital. What good things were they thinking!

Jing'an Bo frowned and said, "You have a bad reputation in the capital, so I can't bring you back. Forget about it. As long as you stay in your hometown, I can help you get your husband's uncle promoted. If you don't go back and insist on staying in the capital, you will lose this benefit. If you anger me, I may even demote you, not to mention promoting you!"

Marquis Jing'an was not a man who was easy to talk to. He was afraid that his daughter was stupid and that she would not understand him if he spoke in euphemistic terms, so he spoke directly and clearly.

Did they think that since they came uninvited and settled in the capital, he couldn't do anything to them and couldn't drive them away? They underestimated him, didn't they? He was at least a third-rank military minister, the Earl of Jing'an, with all the power and status, but he couldn't handle such a small threat?

If they really didn't listen to him, he would kill them without knowing how they died.

When Shen Erniang heard Jing'an Bo say that it was impossible to send her back to the capital, which meant that she would have to stay in that shabby place forever, she naturally became anxious. Her eyes turned red and she said aggrievedly: "Daddy, am I still your daughter? Why do you treat me like this! Do you know what my hometown is like? It's not a place for people to live! I don't want to go back, I just want to stay in the prosperous capital..."

Jing'an Bo said it very clearly, and no matter how stupid Shen Erniang was, she understood it - her adoptive father said that if she didn't go back, not only would he not promote her husband's uncle's official position, but he would also demote it. If this really happened, she would not be able to live in her husband's family. But in this ancient time, she couldn't get a divorce or something like that. So if she didn't want to be hated by her husband's family, she could only obey, so as not to anger Jing'an Bo and really demote her husband's uncle's official position, she would have a hard time.

Shen Erniang was so angry that she died when she thought that Jing'an Bo, as her father, not only did not help her but also threatened her to get out.
