Chapter 24 Slightly Better
Shen Jingxuan waited for news in the room from noon to evening, and finally footsteps were heard outside the room.
As soon as Chuntao stepped into the courtyard, she shouted loudly: "Miss, Miss, I'm back."
Hearing her voice, Shen Jingxuan actually felt that Chuntao was not only happy, but also faintly excited?
"Checked it out?"
"Miss, it's confirmed. You will live in a two-courtyard apartment in the west of the city." Her eyes were shining as she looked at Shen Jingxuan without blinking.
"You are like this..."
Shen Jingxuan asked Chuntao to come closer and whispered to her what she should do. The more Chuntao listened, the brighter her eyes became.
"Miss, I'll be right there," he said, and ran out the door.
"Qiuyou, Donglian," Shen Jingxuan shouted outside the door, "Come in for a moment."
"Qiuyou, go to the second room and listen for any noise. Donglian, go see where the second master is."
"Yes, miss." The two responded and left.
After the maid left, Shen Jingxuan returned to bed to rest. Now the real show was about to begin. She wondered if Sun and Shen Jinghuan could withstand it.
The next morning, Shen Jingxuan finished exercising with her brother and just returned to the room when she saw Chuntao running towards her in a hurry.
She said excitedly: "Miss, it has been arranged."
After hearing this, Shen Jingxuan laughed and said, "Then let's wait."
"Is Donglian back?" She calculated the time and it was almost time for her to come back.
Before Chuntao could answer, Donglian came running back: "Miss, the Second Master just left the house."
After hearing this, Shen Jingxuan and Chuntao's eyes brightened slightly and smiles gradually appeared on their faces.
As the red sun rose in the east, Shen Jiande was so angry with Sun that he turned around and left the house in anger.
Sun's personal maid came to her and whispered a few words to her, and her face instantly turned gloomy.
Seeing her change of expression, the maidservant stood aside and did not dare to continue speaking.
Sun looked at the maid who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and continued to ask, "Did you see the master leave the house?"
The maid lowered her head and replied, "I just left the mansion after leaving Madam, and it has been a quarter of an hour."
"Did anyone follow him? Did he go there?" Sun asked the maid.
"No one followed. The second master didn't allow anyone to follow." The maid thought of the discussions of the servants she had just heard outside, and guessed where Shen Jiande had gone.
Looking at the lady's increasingly gloomy face, the maid stood silently by the side.
Sun was originally in pain all over her body, but now the strong anger made her forget the pain for a moment.
She was kicked twice by Shen Jingxuan and fainted on the spot. She has been lying in bed for several days, but the pain all over her body has not improved.
Without waiting for Sun to finish packing, Shen Jinghuan was helped by a maid to Sun's yard.
The moment he saw Shen Jinghuan, Sun understood.
Since she was able to get the news, Shen Jinghuan's maid would probably know it in advance, so she would arrive in time.
The two of them were supported by their maids and left the house.
They took a carriage and headed straight to the two-story courtyard in the west of the city.
"Miss, I'm back." When Qiuyou saw Sun and Shen Jinghuan leaving the house, she ran back quickly.
When Shen Jingxuan saw her coming back, she knew the result had come to fruition, but she still asked Qiu You: "Have they all left the house?"
"Miss, Miss Sun and the third lady supported each other as they left the house. They looked like they had difficulty walking." As she finished speaking, the corners of her lips gradually rose.
Shen Jingxuan walked towards the door: "Let's go watch a good show."
When she rushed to the west of the city with her maid, she saw from afar Shen Jinghuan and Sun standing at the gate of the yard after getting off the carriage.
Only after they entered the yard did Shen Jingxuan and the maid ask the coachman to drive the carriage into the alley next to it.
Sun and Shen Jinghuan arrived at the door of the room without any obstruction.
When they heard the sound coming from the room, they forgot to react and just stood there in a daze for a moment.
"Um… ..."
"Ah, Ade..." A woman's scream came from the room, mixed with the two people's breathing and the rocking sound of the bed...
As the bed rocked faster and faster, the woman's screams became louder and louder.
Until the man's roar was heard, the rocking of the bed stopped, and the panting gradually subsided...
"Ade..." The woman's hoarse voice just sounded.
When Sun came back to his senses, his face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Bang..." She kicked the door open and rushed in regardless of the injuries and pain on her body.
"Shen Jiande, you are shameless. You actually kept a mistress outside behind my back."
Sun dragged the woman off the bed, pressed her to the ground and started beating her, completely disregarding the fact that she was not wearing any clothes.
Shen Jiande hurriedly got up, picked up his clothes and put them on, then pulled Sun away.
"What are you doing here?" He glared at Sun.
"What am I doing here? Shen Jiande, you've become so capable. Not only do you have a mistress and indulge in adultery in broad daylight, but you also dare to yell at me."
Shen Jiande didn't even look at Sun. He found some woman's clothes for her to put on and helped her up.
When Sun saw that Shen Jiande's eyes were full of that woman, her tigress nature came out.
She quickly ran towards Shen Jiande, slapped the woman in the face, and then started punching and kicking Shen Jiande.
Shen Jiande's face was scratched by Sun, leaving three scratches from his fingernails.
Shen Jinghuan didn't dare to go forward. Although she was not married, she knew what had just happened in the house.
It was not until Sun's shouting and cursing came from the house that Shen Jinghuan walked into the room.
When Shen Jiande saw Shen Jinghuan coming along, he must have known about this matter, and his expression became increasingly uglier.
He pushed Sun away and roared, "That's enough."
Sun was pushed to the ground by Shen Jiande, and she lay on the ground crying loudly: "Shen Jiande, you actually hit me."
"I have been with you for more than ten years and have given birth to children for you, but you actually kept a mistress behind my back and even beat me. Do you think you are doing me justice?"
"I want to go back home and ask my parents to make the decision for me." She got up and pulled Shen Jinghuan out.
Shen Jiande watched Sun leave with a frown on his face.
He didn't understand why this happened. He didn't even dare to bring his servants with him, for fear of being discovered by someone with ulterior motives. So how did Sun know?
After he comforted the woman, he left the yard and rushed back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The second courtyard finally calmed down, but the people in the carriage in the alley could not calm down at all.
After Shen Jiande and his family of three left, Shen Jingxuan and the maid could no longer control their laughter.
Seeing that the maids had finally laughed enough, Shen Jingxuan told them to return home.
Thinking of what just happened, she couldn't help but say to herself, "First round: Tigress wins slightly."
This caused the maids to smile again, with the smiles that they had just suppressed spreading all over their cheeks.
The sun is at its zenith, and its rays shine upon the earth.
The carriage that Sun and Shen Jinghuan were riding in sped all the way to the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
They stepped into the mansion and went straight to Fufeng Courtyard without stopping.
When Sun saw that they had arrived at Mr. Shen’s courtyard gate, she began to cry loudly.
She kept saying, "Dad, Mom, you must make a decision for your daughter-in-law. She doesn't want to live anymore..."
Her crying and shouting alarmed Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen, and they hurried out of the house.
When he saw Sun's appearance, he was surprised and asked, "What happened?"
Sun cried and howled about what Shen Jiande had done, wanting Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen to make the decision for her.
Mr. Shen looked at Sun, his brows slightly raised: "Where is Shen Jiande?"
At this time, footsteps were heard at the gate of the courtyard. It was Shen Jiande that Mr. Shen had asked about.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Seeing Shen Jiande return home, Mr. Shen yelled at Shen Jiande: "Take your wife back to the yard, and handle your own affairs."
