Chapter 153 Intimidation
"Sister, why don't you thank Madam Nanrong quickly?" Shen Xitong took the opportunity to add insult to injury. "I have never seen this Beiling mutton-fat jade before."
Shen Qingyu, even if you are the best among all the beauties and have amazing talents, you still can't marry Master Nanrong. Shen Xitong smiled secretly and left her seat. Without even asking Shen Qingyu, she made the decision for her, "Madam Nanrong, you gave our Shen family this generous gift. We are really grateful to you."
Shen Xitong smiled like a flower and tried to please Madam Nanrong obediently. She stared at the piece of warm white jade in the brocade box with shining eyes. The jade had a fine texture, was translucent and flawless, and was truly a fine piece of jade.
The person who solved the question posed by Madam Nanrong was Shen Qingyu. Even if anyone was to accept the Beiling mutton-fat jade given by Madam Nanrong, it should have been Shen Qingyu. However, Shen Xitong was too greedy and did not take Shen Qingyu seriously. He took the Beiling mutton-fat jade for himself without hesitation and even pretended to say a few good words for Shen Qingyu in front of Madam Nanrong.
"Madam Nanrong, my second sister is like this, she has been spoiled by our mother. This is her first time to attend a banquet outside the house. If she has offended me, I hope you can forgive her for my mother's sake."
Shen Xitong, you finally know that your mother is Bai Ying, right? Why don’t you say that Liu Hualing is your mother now? You don’t dare, right? Or do you feel embarrassed and humiliated to admit in front of these people that your own mother is a concubine?
Shen Qingyu saw that when Shen Xitong mentioned Bai Ying, she called her "Mom" all the time, and her voice was so affectionate. If someone who didn't know the truth about the situation was familiar with the situation, some people might really think that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was also born to Madam Shen, and was a sister of the second daughter of Shen from the same mother.
I've seen shameless people, but it's rare to see someone as self-righteous and shameless as Shen Xitong. Taking a step back, Shen Qingyu avoided Shen Xitong's pretended intimate touch without leaving any trace.
No hurry, no hurry. She actually wanted to know how shameless Shen Xitong could be.
The Shen family is just an aristocratic family that started out in the tea business. Such rare jade cannot be bought even if one has money. Even for Shen Xitong, who is deeply loved by Mr. Shen, the jewelry and jade she has seen are simply vulgar things compared to this piece of Beiling mutton-fat jade and are not worth mentioning.
Madam Nan Rong said that she wanted to give a piece of jade to Shen Qingyu. Shen Xitong naturally thought that it was for the Shen family. However, Shen Chuanhe loved her the most in the entire Shen family. As long as she asked her father for it, how could her father not give it to her? Therefore, she naturally thought that this piece of Beiling mutton-fat jade was hers.
"Thank you, Madam Nanrong."
Shen Xitong stretched out his hands and took the Beiling mutton-fat jade. His movements were so quick that it seemed as if he was afraid that Madam Nanrong would regret it and not give her the jade.
"Sister, why are you still standing there? Why don't you thank Madam Nanrong for her generous gift?"
Shen Xitong pretended to have a deep sisterly relationship with Shen Qingyu and approached Shen Qingyu, but her greedy eyes were always fixed on the Beiling mutton-fat jade in her hand. It was really a good piece of jade. If she wore it on her body, wouldn't it make people envious?
Madam Nan Rong also felt that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was a little too shameless. It was not hers, but she took it for granted. However, she would not care which daughter of the Shen family took the Beiling mutton-fat jade. As long as she had an excuse for today's incident, she would be fine. "It's just a small gift. Miss Shen, please return to your seats."
Shen Qingyu smiled instead of getting angry, "It is indeed a priceless piece of jade."
The contemptuous look made Mrs. Nan Rong feel ashamed and she didn't dare to meet Shen Qingyu's clear gaze.
Shen Xitong accepted the gifts on her own initiative and ended up helping Madam Nanrong. Shen Qingyu couldn't find a reason to question Madam Nanrong again. To put it bluntly, their Shen family had already accepted the generous gifts from the Nanrong family, so what else did they want?
"Sister, give it to me." Shen Qingyu turned around and faced Shen Xitong, his expression as cold as frost.
How could Shen Xitong possibly want to hand it over? She clenched the brocade box in her hand and said, "I received this for my father. I can't give it to you."
Just like Aunt Liu, all the good things belong to them, and they dare to snatch them so confidently. Shen Xitong, do you think I will be afraid if you use Shen Chuanhe to put pressure on me?
She glanced at him, and Xiangyun beside her immediately stepped forward, snatched the brocade box from Shen Xitong's hand with quick eyes and hands, and handed the thing to Shen Qingyu, "Second Miss, please take a look."
Two people were fighting over a piece of jade in front of everyone. It was indeed the Shen family that was full of the smell of money.
"You slut, how insolent!" Shen Xitong became furious and wanted to hit someone.
Shen Qingyu moved even faster. She held the brocade box in one hand and raised the other hand high. She slapped Shen Xitong hard in front of everyone. "In front of me, you are just a concubine's daughter. You are not inferior to me and have no respect for the inferior. Aren't you even more presumptuous!"
This slap caught Shen Xitong off guard. She never thought that Shen Qingyu, this little bitch, would hit her in front of so many ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families. And the words "she was born by an aunt" made her worthless and trampled her into the dust.
A bastard daughter born to a concubine dares to be so arrogant. She really doesn't know her place. The ladies and young ladies from the noble families present are almost all legitimate daughters of the mansion. In their eyes, a bastard daughter is just a bastard daughter, and how can she be compared with a legitimate daughter.
Shen Qingyu's slap was very satisfying. No one would say that Shen Qingyu was angry and cold. Some young ladies from aristocratic families remembered the last flower-viewing banquet, when the eldest young lady of the Shen family kept slandering her second sister in front of them, saying how ugly and stupid she was. Now it seems that although the second young lady of the Shen family is mediocre in appearance, she has amazing talent.
Therefore, they hated illegitimate daughters like Shen Xitong even more, and even bullied the legitimate daughters.
Shen Xitong covered her face, looking at the ladies and young ladies from wealthy families sitting at the table pointing and talking at her. She was filled with anger, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, making her look even more pitiful.
"Shen Xitong, you are just a concubine's daughter of our Shen family. Don't challenge my bottom line again. Do you understand?"
"you……"
Shen Qingyu's threat made Shen Xitong realize that they were outside, not in the Shen family. If she pretended to be pitiful, no one would sympathize with her or help her.
Shen Qingyu walked past her, opened the brocade box, and the piece of Beiling mutton-fat jade was in her hand.
Now that things have come to this, she is not going to give up easily.
When walking, the pain in the knee was aroused, but no matter how painful it was, Shen Qingyu's face remained calm and unperturbed.
"Madam Nanrong, did you really give me this piece of Beiling mutton-fat jade?"
Shen Qingyu smiled, but there was something weird in her smile.
