Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 30 Trust
According to the law.

Servants who betrayed their masters were to be hanged.

They never expected that Mrs. Shen, who usually treated them very kindly, would be so cruel in dealing with and sentencing her servants.

The servants around looked at Madam Shen with respect and fear.

Patriarch Shen nodded with satisfaction. As the wife of the head of the family, she should be decisive.

"Not bad." Patriarch Shen praised, "Yingfeng, your sister-in-law is very capable. Learn more from her and don't be so rash."

Patriarch Shen patted Shen Yingfeng's shoulder meaningfully.

Shen Yingfeng broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that Patriarch Shen knew something.

Only when Clan Leader Shen's back disappeared into the distance did Shen Yingfeng breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the rouge shop owner who was dragged away, Shen Yingfeng clenched his fists and his face looked extremely ugly.

Losing the owner of the rouge shop meant that Shen Yingfeng lost most of his income.

"Shen Yingfeng, Shen Yingfeng." Madam Shen took a sip of tea and glanced at him from the main seat, as if she were looking at a clown. "No matter how many tricks you use, they are not as good as real talent. Even if I hand over the shop to you, I am bound to lose money."

"No money left to pay off your gambling debts?"

Mrs. Shen usually didn't want to have much contact with Shen Yingfeng, so she didn't pay any attention to him.

It was not until yesterday that it was discovered that Shen Yingfeng was burdened with a huge gambling debt.

The reason why Shen Yingfeng was desperate and wanted to take over the snack shop and rouge shop was because he was being pressed by his creditors and had no choice but to set his sights on Mrs. Shen.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too happy too soon." Shen Yingfeng's eyes fell on Madam Shen like a scorpion, wishing he could bite off a piece of her flesh. "You'd better pray for good luck all the time, otherwise I will definitely drag you down with me."

After throwing down a harsh remark, Shen Yingfeng turned his sleeves and left, looking extremely furious from behind. Not only did he not get any benefits, but he was also suspected by the head of the Shen family. Shen Yingfeng felt that it was not worth it. If he had known this earlier, he would have thought of other ways. When he came up with a foolproof plan, he would force Mrs. Shen to surrender.

Before leaving Plum Blossom Garden, Shen Yingfeng couldn't help but look back at the little maid hiding behind Madam Shen.

For some reason, I had a vague intuition in my heart.

I always feel that Shen Fuyu has something to do with this matter.

It was clear that three days ago, Mrs. Shen had made no progress.

Shen Yingfeng was cautious.

Shen Fuyu knew nothing about this.

Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengwu clapped their hands.

"yeah!"

Shen Mengwu smiled, her eyes filled with admiration for Shen Fuyu, "Shen Fuyu, how come you have so many clever ideas? I can't even think of them."

Shen Fuyu smiled mysteriously, "Second Miss, do you really want to know?"

"I do!" Shen Mengwu nodded vigorously. She also wanted to be as smart as Shen Fuyu.

"Simple." Shen Fuyu put her hands behind her back and said, "Read."

"Second Miss, read Sun Tzu's Art of War more often. You will naturally become as smart as me after learning the Thirty-Six Stratagems."

The little girl's pretending to be mature was very cute in Mrs. Shen's eyes.

It was also at this moment that Mrs. Shen no longer treated Shen Fuyu as an ordinary maid.

The crisis was resolved, and Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengwu were playing in the yard.

At this time, a little maid ran over.

"Second miss, second miss."

"It's a post from Princess Murong. She's going to hold a poetry gathering in three days and invites the second and eldest daughters to attend."

"And he said..."

Shen Sishu is Shen Mengwu's personal maid.

She hesitated to speak and looked at Shen Mengwu.

"Just say what you want to say." Shen Mengwu frowned.

Shen Sishu made up his mind, "Princess Murong said that if the Second Miss refuses, she should simply not take the exam in a month. She is uneducated anyway, so it is better to withdraw early to avoid embarrassment." "She is uneducated, I just don't like studying!"

As expected, the person who knows you best is always your enemy. Just a few words from him made Shen Mengwu so angry that she jumped up and down.

"Go, tell Murong Yue that I will definitely attend and give them a good slap in the face."

Shen Mengwu's cheeks were puffed up with anger. She felt uncomfortable all over when she thought of Murong Yue's smug look.

She couldn't help but complain to Shen Fuyu, "Shen Fuyu, Murong Yue is so annoying."

"I think Murong Yue has a problem with her brain. She always likes to compete with me."

"If Murong Yue is really capable, she should compete with the most talented woman in the capital. What's the point of competing with me? I'm the most talented warrior in the capital."

"puff!"

Shen Fuyu almost choked on the water.

"Hahahaha, Miss Shen, why are you so cute?"

The best warrior in the capital?!
Is this a compliment?

Shen Mengwu's cheeks flushed and she looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Really?" She was a little embarrassed.

This was the first time in her life that someone praised her for being cute.

Shen Fuyu couldn't help but reach out and pinch Shen Mengwu's face, "Of course."

"Second Miss Shen, how about we study hard and try to give them a good slap in the face that day?"

Shen Mengwu's face immediately drooped, "Ah..."

Reading is so boring.

Shen Fuyu looked at Shen Mengwu's downcast face, thought for a moment, and decided to teach Shen Mengwu in a different way.

Shen Mengwu is a person who can't sit still and has a poor attention span. Perhaps, telling stories can attract her.

Shen Fuyu already had a plan in mind and planned to implement it after some time.

"Second Miss Shen, poetry gatherings naturally involve writing poems, which revolve around flowers, the moon, and the scenery."

"I'll write down a few lines of poetry for you. When the time comes, you'll have to memorize them all to avoid being embarrassed by others. Got it?"

Shen Fuyu knew that it was impossible to make Shen Mengwu improve in a short period of time, so it would be better to take some shortcuts.

What's more, there are also scholars who choose to buy poems in order to become famous.

"Shen Fuyu, you are so nice to me!"

Shen Mengwu was deeply moved. If it were her mother, she would just blame her for not studying hard and only knowing how to wield swords and sticks, which was useless.

The favorability indicator above the head has turned blue.

Same as Daya.

It represents extreme trust.

Shen Fuyu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Miss Shen Er would trust her so much in such a short time.

In this case, she must also lead Miss Shen Er well.

"First of all, let me make it clear. I'm helping you to avoid being laughed at." Shen Fuyu said bluntly, "You absolutely must not become dependent on others. You must always rely on your true talents to convince others with reason. It's like learning martial arts. If you slack off even a little, it will show up in a fight later."

Shen Mengwu nodded seriously, feeling that what Shen Fuyu said made sense.

"I know I won't become dependent on you, Shen Fuyu. I will study hard so that the teacher can praise me and Murong Yue will look at me with new eyes!"

Mrs. Shen happened to pass by and saw Shen Mengwu's well-behaved and serious side at a glance.

She shook her head helplessly.

For some reason, Shen Mengwu listened very seriously when Shen Fuyu was talking.

However, when she said the same thing, Shen Mengwu would run away as far away as if she heard Tang Monk chanting scriptures.

"Mammy, Shen Fuyu is very good. Send Shen Yi over to teach Shen Fuyu how to practice."
