Chapter 981: Seeking Justice (6)
Shen Jiashi’s head really hurt. Although she looked down on country bumpkins like Yang Ruxin, she knew that the eighth and tenth princes had both stayed in her home before. Because of the incident with the Divine Sauce, the eighth prince had even warned their master not to cause trouble.
She had planned today’s drama very well. She intended to let Yang Ruxin become physically intimate with her own son. For a girl, once that happened, her family just needed to be a bit more high-profile, and wouldn’t the girl then happily marry into their family? Afterward, wouldn’t things like her Divine Sauce and her shops become their own property?
But the ideal is plump, and reality is bony.
She never expected her own son to end up in a tangle with a mere maid.
At that moment, Shen Jiashi wished she could destroy heaven and earth.
Although Ma Lushi was wary of the Shen Family, she was even more wary of the Fang Family. After all, the Fang Family held current power; of course, more importantly, Yang Ruxin was a disciple of the Divine Doctor, Dao Xuzi. With that alone, she figured that even the palace would have to give face. Of course, setting aside these external factors, she quite liked the girl Yang Ruxin herself, so she did not hesitate to stand on Yang Ruxin’s side.
Guo Tongshi knew she also had to take a stand at this moment. She couldn’t think too far ahead, considering her husband’s deputy mayoral position was given by the mayor and absolutely could not be offended. She glanced at Shen Jiashi: "Madam Shen, such a malicious act must be severely punished. Otherwise, who would dare let their daughters attend banquets in the future?" The implication being, who would dare attend your Shen Family’s banquets?
Shen Jiashi knew she had to provide some explanation today or it wouldn’t end well. She could only brace herself and agree.
