Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 72 Making trouble
"Shen Fuyu, how did you find something wrong?"

Mrs. Shen calmed down and realized belatedly that something was wrong. She suddenly disappeared, and even her personal servant, Nanny Li, didn't notice anything wrong. But Shen Fuyu was able to find her in the first place.

Mrs. Shen was prepared to die with Shen Yingfeng, but she never expected that things would take a turn for the better.

Although she was very curious about how Shen Fuyu reacted in such a short time, Mrs. Shen was still very grateful in her heart. After all, if it weren't for Shen Fuyu, Mrs. Shen would have chosen to perish together with her. At that time, Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning would have no one to protect them, and their end in the Shen family would have been extremely miserable.

Mrs. Shen could sense the subtle changes in the Shen family's attitude and was extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen's two daughters.

Mrs. Shen and the head of the Shen family are both very talented.

Only the two daughters are too mediocre.

A sigh escaped from Mrs. Shen's lips, and a layer of sadness hung between her brows. The long period of time without news from the master made all parties in the Shen family restless. Otherwise, Shen Yingfeng could only talk about it and complain, but would never dare to do such a thing.

Shen Fuyu keenly noticed that Madam Shen was not in a good mood. She subconsciously held Madam Shen's hand tightly, patted her calmly, and said soothingly: "Madam Shen, it has nothing to do with me. It's thanks to Sister Xiao Taohong that she noticed something was wrong and told me."

Shen Fuyu chose to sell Xiao Taohong out to Madam Shen so that she would remember him.

After all, establishing a good relationship with Xiao Taohong means that Shen Fuyu can be the first to know many unknown things, which is like having an additional connection.

Xiao Taohong will also remember Shen Fuyu's kindness, and both sides will benefit from it.

Shen Fuyu made no secret of his calculating intentions.

"Little Peach Blossom?"

The Shen family has many servants. Except for the personal maid, Mrs. Shen doesn't know the names of the other maids.

"Yes, when I was learning the rules before, it was Sister Xiao Taohong who took care of me. Sister Xiao Taohong served in Master Shen Yingfeng's room. When she noticed what Shen Yingfeng was planning, she told me the news immediately."

Shen Fuyu looked at Madam Shen with apprehension, rubbing her hands nervously. "Madam Shen, can you please not be angry? Although Sister Xiao Taohong serves in Shen Yingfeng's room, she is doing it for survival and does not side with Master Shen Yingfeng."

"How can I be a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong? After the matter is resolved, I will definitely reward Xiao Taohong well. If you don't want to stay with Shen Yingfeng, you can come and be my maid." Madam Shen's expression had returned to normal. When she walked to the door of the banquet hall, she straightened her demeanor and made sure there was no problem before preparing to go in.

There was a hint of smile in Shen Fuyu's eyes. "Then I would like to thank Madam on behalf of Little Taohong."

"By the way, Madam, I have a better way than castrating Shen Yingfeng. It will definitely bring Shen Yingfeng down in disgrace."

Shen Fuyu gestured to Madam Shen to bend down, and whispered in her ear.

After whispering for a while, the two smiled at each other.

Everyone is looking forward to what will happen next.

Shen Fuyu left the banquet hall calmly and came to Shen Yingfeng's yard.

He quietly opened a corner of the window and looked at Widow Chen holding Shen Yingfeng down tightly, then he showed a satisfied smile.

Xiao Taohong appeared beside Shen Fuyu at some point. "Shen Fuyu, is this okay for us? When Shen Yingfeng wakes up and finds out it was me who did it, he'll definitely be in big trouble."

Xiao Taohong couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Shen Yingfeng's shameful methods. Although Xiao Taohong had served Shen Yingfeng for many years, looking proud and arrogant on the surface, only Xiao Taohong knew how much she had suffered. If there was no better choice, Xiao Taohong would not want to stay with Shen Yingfeng.

Xiao Taohong lowered her head, a layer of loss between her brows, and couldn't help but envy Shen Fuyu in her heart.

so good.

Shen Fuyu entered the mansion to serve the Shen sisters. She was destined not to be like her, who had to spend all her efforts to please Shen Yingfeng in order to make her life comfortable.

Shen Fuyu seemed to have sensed Xiao Taohong's thoughts. He patted her shoulder, blinked at her, and said firmly, "Don't worry, Sister Xiao Taohong. I told Madam Shen that this matter was resolved thanks to your help. Madam Shen also said that as long as you are willing, you can come to serve her."

"Really?" Xiao Taohong's eyes lit up instantly. Madam Shen had a kind personality and was tolerant and kind to the servants around her. All the servants in the Shen family wanted to serve Madam Shen. How could she possibly get such a good thing?
Xiao Taohong knew in her heart that even if she didn't tell Shen Fuyu, with Shen Fuyu's intelligence and talent, he would definitely find Mrs. Shen, and it would only waste a little time.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to Sister Xiao Taohong?"

Xiao Taohong's feeling of loss was instantly filled with surprise. For her, Mrs. Shen's favorability was a way out.

When she couldn't stay any longer, Mrs. Shen could still save her life.

Xiao Taohong was a house-born girl. She had seen many maids being dealt with since she was a child. She knew very well that maids like them were not even concubines and could be sold at will as long as the young master had a wife.

It was precisely because she wanted to gain a glimmer of hope that Xiao Taohong chose to help the lady.

As expected, Mrs. Shen did not disappoint her.

At the same time, the movement in the house stopped and Shen Yingfeng let out a violent scream.

There were sounds of footsteps coming from all around, and the faint voice of Mrs. Shen could be heard.

"Hey, what's that noise? Could something have happened? Why don't we go over and take a look?"

"Oh, nothing happened. Isn't it better for everyone to enjoy the flowers here? There's nothing to see. It would be a waste of time to walk over. It's better to appreciate the roses."

Mrs. Shen's smile was forced and her eyes were wandering. Obviously, something had happened. Among this group of people, many were hostile to the Shen family. When they heard that Mrs. Shen was trying to fool them, their eyes lit up instantly. Ignoring Mrs. Shen's objection, they pushed each other and headed towards Shen Yingfeng's room.

"If nothing really happened, why do you have to go over there?" Mrs. Shen had beads of sweat on her forehead and she wiped it away without making a sound. This small action seemed to everyone like she was feeling guilty and nervous.

"Since there's nothing wrong, we should go over and take a look. Madam Shen, just treat it as a way to kill time. As the host, you wouldn't be unwilling to fulfill even this little wish of ours, right? Could this be the Shen family's way of entertaining guests?"

The tone of the last sentence became sharp, as if they would turn against each other if Mrs. Shen continued to refuse.

Mrs. Shen closed her eyes and acted helpless.

As the distance got closer, the sound coming from not far away could be clearly heard.

"Ahhhhh, you're ruining my innocence!"
