I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

490 United

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuansong looked at the butler, Uncle Liu, and said, “There are too many rumors outside lately. Let the family know that we shouldn’t tell Ruojing about Chu Cimo’s matter for now.”

The butler nodded and said, “Master, all the married ladies have returned.”

Shen Yuansong immediately nodded. This was what he needed to handle. He was silent for a moment before saying, “Call Ruojing. She should get to know her relatives.”

When Shen Ruojing was called out by the butler, the Shen Manor became very lively.

All the young ladies who had been married off in the capital had returned, even those who were far away. Although there was no laughter and joy, there were no sad faces either.

As Shen Ruojing went downstairs, Shen Yuansong introduced everyone to her one by one. He then sat in front of the living room and asked everyone, “Has anyone caused trouble for you in your husband’s family?”

The married ladies hesitated for a moment before smiling and saying that they had not encountered any issues.

The eldest aunt, who had the most seniority, laughed and said, “Not for me, but maybe for the others. After all, we have been married for more than ten or twenty years. With the Shen family as our support, we have established ourselves in our husband’s family. Don’t worry, even if they want to cause trouble, they won’t be able to! Speaking of my family, my son is currently the family head. Would he dare to make things difficult for me?”

At this point, the benefits of the alliance between the four great families became apparent. Even though the Shen family had offended the queen and she had made it clear that she would use other families to make things difficult for the Shen family, it was of no use. Didn’t other families’ daughters marry into the Shen family as well?

Shen Yuansong called everyone back, firstly to let Shen Ruojing see that the Shen family didn’t only have Shen Zhong and Shen Chong but also many good-natured relatives. This was so that she could feel a sense of belonging to the Shen family. Secondly, he wanted her to see that the queen’s pressure was not a big deal for the Shen family.

Although everyone had gossiped about this matter in their homes, they didn’t blame Shen Ruojing.

They even comforted her. “That rule should have been changed a long time ago! Otherwise, how many more daughters of the Shen family will suffer? I heard that women in country A live in a very difficult environment. Perhaps they have been accustomed to it since birth, but if it were me, I would rather die than marry!” This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin

Amidst the discussions, the eldest aunt suddenly spoke up, “Family leader, if three-quarters of the family’s assets were taken out, would the liquid assets be insufficient? My husband has a personal fortune of ten million that can be used in emergencies.”

After speaking, she trembled as she took out a bank card and handed it to Shen Yuansong.

Shen Yuansong smiled and returned it. “The Shen family hasn’t reached that point yet, don’t worry.”

The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw his calm demeanor.

Then everyone turned to Shen Tingyan again and asked her, “Tingyan, are you sure you want a divorce?”

Shen Tingyan nodded. “Yes.”

She had had enough of the Xu family and that husband who was a mama’s boy.

The others nodded in agreement. “Divorce him. Your mother-in-law is always acting petty, I’ve never liked her!”

“Yes, get a divorce and come back home, or we can find someone else for you!”

But someone else suggested, “Actually, there’s no need to divorce. After all, he’s the eldest son and his status is important. I suggest going to the hospital to check your health and see what the problem is.”

When this was mentioned, everyone immediately looked at Shen Tingyan. “Wasn’t it proven that the drowning incident of your childhood doesn’t affect your body? Why can’t you get pregnant?”

Shen Tingyan sighed. “The doctor couldn’t find any problems with me. I also saw a few traditional Chinese medicine doctors and they said it might be caused by the coldness in my womb…”

As soon as she said this, someone immediately said, “It’s normal for women to have coldness in the womb. Who wouldn’t suffer from that? It’s not really related to pregnancy. Actually, Tingyan had very good health when she was young. Although it was winter when she fell into the water, how low could the temperature be in the indoor swimming pool?”

She lowered her voice and asked, “Is it your husband’s problem? Has he seen a doctor?”

Shen Tingyan immediately lowered her head, her eyes turning red. “Every time I ask him to go with me, he refuses, saying it’s embarrassing. He also said that not being able to have children is my responsibility and has nothing to do with him. He’s absolutely fine.”

“How is that possible? Having a child is a two-person matter!”

“Yes, in this day and age, how can he insist that he has no problem? I think you should take him to see a doctor!”

Shen Tingyan was also very helpless.

In the first two years of their marriage, she didn’t know how many times she had been to the hospital during ovulation. Everything was normal, yet they still couldn’t conceive.

Two years later, the doctors still couldn’t find any problems with her, and she wanted her husband to get checked, but he was very confident and told her that he had no problem. She thought it was just a man’s pride and didn’t want to push it further.

But Matriarch Xu was eager for a grandchild, so she started to make things difficult for her every day.

Before the incident in the Shen family, her life at the Xu family was already not easy…Matriarch Xu would criticize her every day, saying that she was a hen that couldn’t lay eggs.

It was just that she didn’t dare to do anything too extreme.

Although her husband was weak and submissive to his mother, he still treated her pretty well, so she didn’t want to get a divorce.

However, now that the Shen family was in trouble, the true faces of the mother and son were exposed.

Shen Tingyan was very open-minded and quickly said, “My situation is not important…”

Just as she spoke, a gloomy voice sounded from the doorway. “Why isn’t your situation important?”

Everyone turned to see Shen Wanying being pushed in with a wheelchair.

Perhaps because she had been unable to go out recently or maybe because of her physical disability, she no longer had the pride that Shen Ruojing had seen in her when they first met.

Her face was gloomy, and she locked her gaze on Shen Ruojing as soon as she entered the room.

Her words were harsh. “You all only report good news to the family, keeping Grandfather unaware of the current situation. Do you think you’re helping the Shen family? You’re not, you’re harming it!”

She pounded the armrest of her wheelchair forcefully and continued, “From what I know, some of our sisters and aunts are not doing well!”

Other people spoke up, “Do we need to report to you whether we’re doing well or not?”

Shen Wanying sneered at their response. “Alright, you’re doing well, and you haven’t been affected by the troubles of the Shen family. But what about Chu Cimo?!”

As soon as she said that, Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes. “What about Chu Cimo?”

Shen Wanying coldly laughed. “In order to get the Valor Gate’s help in resisting the Queen’s guards, Chu Cimo participated in a fighting competition. Now that he has joined the Valor Gate, he was exposed as a hypocrite, and they want to break his legs and kick him out of Valor Gate!!

“The Chu family has been affected by the troubles of the Shen family, and now Chu Cimo is also receiving this treatment because he wants to protect the Shen family. Now, you people dare to say that your husbands’ families are treating you well? Who would believe that?!”

Shen Ruojing was stunned by her words. “What are you talking about?!”

Shen Wanying scolded her furiously, “I’m saying that you’re a disaster since the day you returned to the capital! The Shen family has been suffering ever since! Since you have acknowledged the Shen family and become the Shen family’s eldest young miss, why don’t you take responsibility and fulfill the terms of the agreement with Country A?!”
