Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 467 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (4)

Green Willow stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate of Listening to the Rain Pavilion. Shen Shuyi strolled in, and every flower and scene in the courtyard had changed.

Even the lotus pond that the original owner loved was filled in and turned into a swing set and planted with peonies. She frowned slightly to suppress the hidden pain in her heart.

Upon entering the inner room, the luxurious dressing table in the side room was still there. Even if Shen Qingyi found it disgusting, she couldn't bear to throw it away. There were only a few sets of such fine items in the entire city of Chang'an.

The original owner's mother brought a very generous dowry back then, but now Shen Qingyi and her daughter have taken almost all of it.

Shen Shuyi glanced at the bed, then looked up and gestured to Luwu, "Throw the blanket out."

"Also, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall were also lost."

Green Willow had been by the eldest young lady's side since childhood. She was furious to see the second young lady occupying her eldest young lady's house, and she started to fight without saying a word.

The sound of clattering and clanging rang out, and Cuiqin quickly said, "Young Miss, please stop! These are all Second Miss's treasures."

Shen Shuyi looked up at Cuiqin. In her previous life, Cuiqin was also sent by Lin to work for the original owner. Her masters were Lin and Shen Qingyi. In the previous life, Cuiqin was the one who drugged the original owner and caused her to lose her virginity at the palace banquet. Although the man she let in was drunk and nothing happened, it was no different from ruining one's virginity if a man and a woman were alone in a room and were caught.

"Young Miss, why don't you come with me to the other place?"

Before Cuiqin could finish speaking, a whip cracked, and she was sent flying, crashing onto the bed and landing on the ground.

She looked up and stared around as if she'd seen a ghost.

Who hit her just now?
It looks like a long, crimson whip. Lady Hongying's weapon is indeed a long, crimson whip.
"A ghost!!!" Cuiqin scrambled out of the room.

Shen Shuyi had already put the long whip back into the system space. She chose the long whip as an item not only because the original owner knew how to use a long whip, but also because the original owner's mother, Zhou Hongying, used a long whip as her weapon.

She wanted to use this to inform the people in the General's Mansion that Zhou Hongying's ghost had returned, and wondered if the murderer would be so afraid that he would give himself away.

Just as Cuiqin stumbled and ran out, Shen Qingyi arrived with her maid.

Shen Qingyi glanced past the pile of her beloved items, and when she looked up again, she saw Shen Shuyi with an elegant and aloof expression.

She was provoked by Shen Shuyi's cold, star-like gaze, staring intently at Shen Shuyi's beautiful, angelic face.

Clutching the handkerchief tightly, Shen Qingyi was trembling with uncontrollable anger.

Why is she back again? Why didn't she die in Jiangnan?

Whenever she sees her, she is reminded of the days when she was a concubine's daughter. Shen Shuyi was superior to her in everything, and even the Tingyuxuan where she lived was much better than her Luohuage!
What's most infuriating is that Shen Shuyi is even prettier than her; whenever Shen Shuyi is around, no one else can see her.
Next month, the palace will select consorts for the princes. She absolutely cannot let Shen Shuyi be favored by the fourth prince, as she has worked so hard to climb the social ladder!

Therefore, Shen Shuyi must die!
"Elder sister, what are you doing?" Shen Qingyi asked, frowning.

Shen Shuyi parted her cherry lips slightly, "I am the owner of Tingyuxuan, and it is none of your business to ask me what I do."

They just wanted to bully the original owner because she lost her mother and her father didn't care about her.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips, looking aggrieved. "It was Father who told me to move here. Eldest sister, are you trying to go against Father's decision as soon as you come back?"

"The 'fox borrowing the tiger's might' tactic won't work on me, save your breath." Shen Shuyi sneered. As long as Shen Jing still wanted to use her, he wouldn't kick her out of the General's Mansion for the sake of the Lin mother and daughter.

"Shen Shuyi, you!" Shen Qingyi's face turned pale, and she forced back her tears.

Just then, Madam Lin arrived and immediately stood up for her daughter.

"Shen Shuyi, do you have no manners at all?!"

"Aunt Lin, you've arrived." Shen Shuyi raised her hand to gently cover her lips. "Oh, no, you've already been elevated to the status of a second wife. Well done."

"What, you're not pretending anymore now that Shen Jing isn't here?"

Madam Lin was furious, but having endured for so many years, she quickly regained her composure. "Qingyi is living here perfectly well. I've already cleaned another courtyard for you, so why did you have to smash it up like this?"

She felt that something was wrong with Shen Shuyi. Ten years ago, the little maid was timid and dared not speak loudly. How come she has become so bold this time and even dares to disobey her father?

Shen Shuyi sat down in the chair and calmly said, "Tingyuxuan is mine, I can smash it however I want."

"You two are just taking advantage of the fact that my mother died early, and you've even taken over my house."

These words infuriated the Lin mother and daughter.

Lin, having reached her limit, yelled, "You have no respect for your elders! Do you even have a mother?!"

Before she could finish her rant, a flash of red light appeared before her eyes, and a long red whip lashed across her face, knocking her to the ground.

The whip flashed so fast it was impossible to see clearly, frightening the Lin mother and daughter so much that they stared at Shen Shuyi as if they had seen a ghost.

The entire Tingyuxuan Pavilion fell into an eerie silence.

Especially when Shen Shuyi smiled slightly, the Lin mother and daughter felt a chill run down their spines. "Shen Shuyi, are you up to something?!"

Shen Shuyi spread her hands, looked at the whip marks on Lin's face and asked with a smile, "Which eye of yours saw me lay a hand on her?"

A series of hurried footsteps approached from afar, and the commotion finally alerted Shen Jing and his son.

Shen Jing and Shen Feng strode over. Shen Jing glanced at the messy courtyard and fixed his gaze on Shen Shuyi.

"Shuyi, you've turned this house upside down the moment you came back! Don't you even consider me your father anymore?!"

"You unfilial daughter, kneel down now!"

Shen Shuyi crossed her arms in front of her and slightly raised her eyes to look at Shen Jing, "Ten years have passed since we last met. How much of your importance do you still have in my eyes?"

"I thought my father brought me back because he was worried about me, but I didn't expect to be scolded as soon as I got back."

"My father dislikes me so much, why should I stay in the general's mansion and invite trouble? I'm not short of money anyway, so I might as well move out and start my own household."

Shen Jing's face froze, and he said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"If you hadn't acted so recklessly, would I have made you kneel down and admit your mistake?"

"Father, don't you even look at who's causing trouble? A concubine who's been brought up dares to bully the legitimate daughter. Aren't you afraid that the censors will hear this and impeach him in a memorial to His Majesty?"

“As a concubine, one should be content with one’s lot. Father has graciously made her his second wife, so she should be grateful instead of creating trouble at every turn to estrange our father and daughter.”

"I really don't know what Lin Shi'an is thinking. I hope she doesn't corrupt the younger generation."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jing suppressed his anger. Those old fogies in the court were watching him all day long; if word got out that it was really because of domestic discord...
"Alright, stop making a scene. Qingyi, you move back to Luohua Pavilion."

Lin and Shen Qingyi were very frustrated, but they didn't expect Shen Shuyi to let the matter drop with just a few words.

Shen Jing looked at Shen Shuyi and was surprised to find that she had grown into such a stunning beauty after ten years. Looking at her was like seeing the unruly, spirited woman from back then.

"Stop making a fuss. I'll have a palace matron come over tomorrow to teach you manners."

"Father, are you hard of hearing or just forgetful?" Shen Shuyi said, enunciating each word clearly, "I said, I will not live in the General's Mansion."

　Wishing all my lovely ladies a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival, and all the best!
