Chapter 325: Lust (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the end, the scandal at the Shen family’s banquet did not spread among the commoners. However, among the big families, it had spread like wildfire and was treated as a joke. Old Madam Shen was forced to a dead end by her own words. If she did not do what she said, she would be made a laughing stock. If she did what she said, she would ruin an outstanding grandson.
However, because of this, the first branch and Old Madam Shen had completely fallen out. The family banquet made Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin realize who were the outsiders in the Shen family. They were not people who would swallow their anger, so they decided to watch the show without offering any help.
After Shen Yuan and Jing Chuchu woke up, Jing Chuchu naturally cried terribly and said that she was dragged into the room by Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan was furious and said that he fainted for some reason. When he woke up, he was already lying on top of Jing Chuchu. He could not remember having done anything and thought that perhaps Jing Chuchu was still a virgin.
However, it did not matter if Jing Chuchu was a virgin or not. Since she was seen together with a man, her reputation had already been ruined, at least in the capital.
Perhaps it was because they were stimulated by this matter, or perhaps it was because of something else, the Jing siblings were no longer as gentle as before. They were aggressive and insisted that Shen Yuan give them an explanation. Old Madam Shen had also said before that if the plan succeeded, she could become the eldest young madam of the Shen family. Now that it turned out to be Shen Yuan, naturally, Jing Chuchu should become the second young madam of the Shen family.
Old Madam Shen naturally wouldn’t let that happen. Shen Yuan was her most outstanding grandson. He deserved a much better wife than a girl from a humble family. She immediately found an excuse to decline. Without a word, Jing Guansheng brought Jing Chuchu to the government and sent a letter back to Suzhou. When the people in Suzhou heard this, they were angry that Old Madam Shen even stabbed her family in the back. They immediately set out for the capital to demand an explanation from Old Madam Shen.
Just like that, Old Madam Shen and the Jing siblings fell out completely. Old Madam Shen scolded Jing Guansheng and his sister for being ungrateful all day long. Jing Guansheng and his sister also mocked Old Madam Shen for being crazy and causing chaos in the Shen family. Shen Yuan was also very angry, but this matter had already blown up. He could not just kill Jing Chuchu. With so many madams having witnessed it, if anything happened to Jing Chuchu, everyone would suspect him. Moreover, the Jing family was not easy to deal with either.
No matter what happened outside, the west courtyard of the Shen family was always closed, and everyone inside it was happy. Shen Qiu did not get drunk that day. He was just asked to pretend to be drunk by Shen Miao. As for why Shen Yuan ended up in the same room with Jing Chuchu, Shen Qiu did not know. Although Shen Miao refused to tell him and told him not to tell Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan. Shen Qiu could vaguely guess something.
In the room, Shen Miao sat at the table and wrote a recipe for the kitchen. Shen Xin and the soldiers were all looking forward to the soup Shen Miao made. Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered to make it herself, so she wrote a recipe and handed it to the kitchen. After having drunk their fill of the soup, those soldiers respected her more than Shen Qiu.
Luo Xueyan also asked, “Jiaojiao, when did you know so many recipes? Are you interested in cooking?”
Shen Miao replied vaguely. She was not a housewife kind of a woman. However, in her previous life, in order to please some people, she visited the imperial kitchen frequently and learned from the chief. However, no matter how well she cooked in the past, the people who she wanted to please had never been moved by her. Shen Miao shook her head, thinking to herself that some people knew how to be grateful, while some people only knew how to repay kindness with ingratitude.
