Chapter 399: He let it slip that he had raised his daughter for several years?
That day, Yao Qingnian accompanied Chen Shuhua to Chui Liu Lane and went straight to the courtyard where Runiang and the others lived. He asked in confusion, "Mom, why are we here? Doesn't this house belong to someone else?"
"This house is an inconspicuous house in my dowry. It is because of its inconspicuousness that I have never paid attention to it. I didn't expect that Shen Wenting had kept a mistress here for so many years, and I didn't notice it at all. Isn't it ridiculous?"
"This house is yours. No wonder you asked me to come over and watch the show that day. So, those big men holding the title deeds were also found by you, mother?" Chen Shuhua looks reserved, but her actions are unexpected.
"Well, I brought them here just to embarrass him and expose his true face in front of everyone. Look at this yard and the things inside, from small porcelain bowls to large table and chair ornaments, many of them were taken out of my dowry. They took my things and lived under my nose for so many years. It was not until recently that I realized how cheap my trust is and that it could be thrown under the feet of Shen Wenting at any time." Chen Shuhua touched the tea bowls and ornaments, speaking with mixed emotions.
"Mom, now that you've divorced him, don't let those worthless things affect your mood. Live your life the way you want. Without Shen Wenting's constraints, won't you be able to live a better life?"
"Nianran, mother knows it all. I just feel it's not worth it after so many years of dedication." How could she let it go all of a sudden? She had invested decades of affection, but in the end, it was all in vain. Looking at the exquisite things in this small courtyard, each one seemed to be mocking her.
In the past, she waited for him at the gate of the courtyard day and night, worried that he would get sick and exhaust himself, and afraid that he would be cold, so she prepared hot soup for him every day regardless of whether he came or not. After so many years of one-sided dedication, she would not feel that it was a big deal if it was worth it. But when she was looking forward to his return home, he was lying in the arms of someone else, leaving her alone in the empty room. She still thought that Shen Wenting was working hard for their family. It was ridiculous.
"What are you going to do with this house?" The house was still full of Ru Niang's clothes and unpacked things.
"Mom plans to sell it. Anyway, she can't let them get it cheaply." There are some valuable things in it. She can get some silver if she sells it. It's better to sell it so that she won't be upset when she sees these things.
After the two stayed in the house for a while, they asked Yuzhu to arrange for someone to clean up and sell the house. After explaining all these things, they were about to leave the yard when a figure suddenly rushed out and pounced on Chen Shuhua. Fortunately, Yao Qingnian quickly stopped her and pushed her to the ground. Runiang got up from the ground and pointed at Chen Shuhua and cursed: "I said, how could this good house become someone else's, Chen Shuhua, you vicious woman! It turns out that all this is your fault! Those men were not found by you, were they?"
The person who came was Runiang, who had not appeared for some time. She was wearing ordinary clothes and only had a simple hairpin on her head. She was completely different from the glamorous and beautiful woman in the past.
She was kicked out that day, penniless and without even a change of clothes. Shen Wenting, such a heartless man, didn't care about her life or death. He didn't come to find her until many days later. If it weren't for Qiu Zhizhong, she would probably have been homeless.
Today she wanted to come and see if she could find a chance to go home and get something. When she came outside the yard, she saw Chen Shuhua and her daughter, and immediately realized that it was her who was behind it.
"Vicious? Compared to you, I'm too kind! So what if it's me? You dare to do it but are afraid of being looked down upon." Chen Shuhua looked at her steadily.
"Haha, no wonder the master doesn't want you. You have such a miserable face every day. Which man would like you?! If I tell the master about this, what do you think he will do to you?" Runiang looked at her provocatively.
"I have divorced him. What do you have to say to him? What is that to me?"
"You can't even keep an eye on a man, Chen Shuhua, you're so pathetic. Even if you find out your man has a mistress, you still only dare to do these vicious things behind his back! You're a lady from the Duke's Mansion, but you're being played around by others without knowing it. Haha, compared to me, you're not much better." Runiang snorted mockingly.
"I am the daughter of a Duke's mansion, you have no qualifications to compete with me! No matter how bad the relationship between him and I is, we have been married for decades. You hide in the dark and are dispensable to Shen Wenting. I don't know what you are laughing at. Are you laughing at your own stupidity? Come on, kick her out." Chen Shuhua didn't want to waste words with her, so she asked someone to kick her out.
Runiang remembered the purpose of her visit today and was unwilling to be sent away like this: "Why are you kicking me out? The things in here are specially bought for me by the master. I want to take them all away! They are all evidence of his love for me. You are just jealous of the master's kindness to me!"
"Yours? Everything in here, the house, every blade of grass, every table and chair, are mine! What qualifications do you have to shout? And you want to take it away? Impossible! Even if we burn it down, it won't let you two dogs get away with it!" Chen Shuhua suddenly felt disgusted seeing all this. Shen Wenting was spending her money and loving another woman in every way. Her mood, which had finally calmed down, was ignited again.
After hearing this, Runiang was furious and said, "I'm not the stupid one, haha! What qualifications do you have to say that I was secretly his wife? According to the order of priority, I am his wife, and you just took him away by relying on your status! You raised his daughter for decades, sent your own daughter away, and your son became a fool. In the end, it's all for nothing."
"What did you say? Speak clearly!" Chen Shuhua roared, what about the daughter who had been raised by him for decades.
"I didn't say anything!" Realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag in her haste, Runiang quickly shut up. How could she have said all this? It seemed that she could not get the things today. There was still a long time to come. She could talk about it later. While they were not paying attention, she ran away in a panic.
"Mom, I'll go bring her back and ask her clearly." Yao Qingnian also heard something wrong in her words.
"No need, let her go! Yuzhu, go check the Second Miss's background and see if what Shen Wenting said back then is true. Remember, don't make a big fuss." Chen Shuhua instructed Yuzhu beside her, "Also, go find Lao Qiao's nephew Zhao Qi."
When Shen Wenting brought Shen Youran back home, he said that she was the child of a distant relative who had passed away. Chen Shuhua trusted him very much at the time and never questioned what he said. Now, thinking back carefully, it seems that something was wrong.
