Chapter 383: Misunderstanding? We're already in bed, but there's still misunderstanding
"Then what was going on when everyone saw you two lying on the bed, your clothes in disarray, hugging each other?" She looked sad.
"That's all misunderstanding." Shen Wenting explained.
"Misunderstanding, do you think I'm a fool!" Chen Shuhua's face was full of tears: "It was you who knelt at my door and said you would marry me, and would never take a concubine in this life, and swore that you would only treat me well. Is this how you treat me! You! You disappoint me so much!"
"Father, the officials and the people saw what happened today with their own eyes. Don't you think you should give my mother an explanation?" Yao Qingnian said without thinking too much.
"You have no right to interrupt when the adults are talking!" Shen Wenting had no idea what to do. Hearing Yao Qingnian questioning him in person, he felt even more embarrassed, so he cursed and walked to Chen Shuhua, holding her hand: "Madam, we are in public now. If we have anything to say, let's go home and talk about it, okay?"
"No! This matter today must be discussed face to face!" Chen Shuhua refused to give in.
"Chen Shuhua! Stop being unreasonable! Let's go! Go back first!" Shen Wenting couldn't help but yell.
"You made a mistake and you still think you're right! I'm being unreasonable? It was you who betrayed me first! I want to divorce you!" After saying that, Chen Shuhua ran away heartbroken.
Only the onlookers and officials were left behind.
Shen Wenting was completely humiliated today, so he didn't care about anything else and took advantage of the chaos to run after Chen Shuhua.
"Hey, don't run, you haven't been given the silver yet!" the big man shouted from behind.
"Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, just go away! Go ask her for your money. Remember, don't use force. Just negotiate in a civilized manner, okay? If there's nothing else, I have official business to attend to, so I'll leave first." The officer saw that the situation was no longer under his jurisdiction, so he told everyone to leave.
Runiang stayed there, not knowing what to do. Now she had no home to return to, and everyone had discovered her affair with Shen Wenting. What should she do? Before she had time to think, she heard Yao Qingnian, who had not yet left, speak to everyone with a wronged look on her face: "You pretended to be the wife of the shop owner before, and I thought it was a misunderstanding. I didn't expect that you would openly provoke my mother several times, and even seduce my father, you shameless woman!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't seduce your father! He did it voluntarily. Your mother can't control her man, so who can you blame?" Runiang was furious when she saw Shen Wenting leaving her and running away. She said everything without caring about the consequences.
"You slut, you dare to be so arrogant when you are someone else's mistress!" When the women watching heard this, they picked up the weapons and things in their hands and threw them at Runiang. What they hated most was such a shameless mistress like her.
She could only dodge helplessly. Shen Wenting left her and ran away. Now she has no home to return to and she is penniless.
Runiang came out of the crowd, ran to the big man in a panic and begged, "Brother, I beg you, let me go in and pack up some things!"
"Pack your things? These are all my things, when did they become yours? Besides, you've lived in this house for so many years, what's wrong with me charging a little interest?! Get out of here!" The man had no mercy on them at all and told them to get out immediately, otherwise he would not be polite.
Looking at those ferocious men, Runiang didn't dare to stay any longer and fled with the help of Chan'er.
After Chen Shuhua returned to the Shangshu Mansion, Shen Wenting followed closely behind her: "Madam, please listen to my explanation!"
"Explain it to me! I'm listening!"
"Runiang and I are really not what you think. Today was just a misunderstanding. How could I do such a thing!" Shen Wenting pleaded softly beside her. Today's incident had caused such a big fuss that no one would believe it unless she explained it in person.
"Misunderstanding? You're still misunderstanding even though you rolled around in bed? Also, what's wrong with your son? Shen Wenting, you're really something!" Chen Shuhua was so angry that she laughed.
"Chen Shuhua, why are you so jealous! My son is a man, isn't it normal for him to have three wives and four concubines? Besides, he promised you not to take concubines. Hasn't the backyard been clean all these years? What's wrong with him finding one to keep outside!" When the old lady heard that something had happened, she hurried over and heard the two people arguing. She couldn't help but scold them. She hadn't settled the score for what happened two days ago, but she was the first to make a fuss.
"I'm jealous? It was he who suggested never taking a concubine. I didn't force him to do that. Now it's my fault?!"
"Shuhua, mother was too excited just now. Mother apologizes to you. That Ru Niang was the girl that Wen Ting had engaged to when he was young. At the beginning, they didn't mind our poverty, but Wen Ting had become successful, and they were worried that they would cause trouble, so they kept her outside. For mother's sake, can you just pretend that nothing happened? You are still the only mistress in our house." The old lady was worried that her words would be too excessive and make Chen Shuhua unhappy, so she softened her attitude and spoke to her tactfully.
"Madam, have you known about this for a long time?" Chen Shuhua looked at her in disbelief.
"Mother, it's just a small matter and father had no choice but to do it. Please forgive him this time?" Shen Youran also walked in and advised.
"Even you know?" Shen Youran seemed to imply that she knew the truth. It turned out that the whole world knew that Shen Wenting had a mistress, but she, his wife, had never discovered it for so many years.
"As for the child, since you know everything now, we won't hide it from you. The family in the mansion is not prosperous to begin with, and Jinghong has become like that. After all, the child is Wen Ting's biological blood, how can he be left outside? So I plan to let him return to his roots." The old lady saw that she could no longer hide the matter, so she simply admitted it openly.
"What if I say I don't agree?" Chen Shuhua sneered.
"We are not discussing with you, but informing you!" said the old lady unhappily.
Chen Shuhua ignored the old lady and looked at him seriously: "Shen Wenting, let me ask you, I'll give you another chance, besides these, are there other things you are hiding from me?!"
"Ma'am, I know that you and I have had many misunderstandings during this period, and I have done many wrong things, but I love you sincerely."
"You just need to answer if there is anything else you are hiding from me!" Chen Shuhua raised her voice.
"No, ma'am." Of course there are many other things, but they cannot be admitted.
"Then what is this!" Chen Shuhua took out the account book and threw it in his face.
Shen Wenting picked it up, opened it and looked at it. His face darkened instantly. "Where did you get this account book?"
"What else do you have to say now?"
"Tell me! Where did you get this account book? Did you let that man out?" Shen Wenting rushed forward and grabbed Chen Shuhua's neck.
