The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 195 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount

When Old Madam Shen heard what Jiang Sujin said, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "The child is already six months old, how can you just say you don't want to give birth to it?"

Jiang Sujin: "What's good about having a baby? It's hard work, but men will complain about me not being able to serve you. I really don't understand what's good about having a baby. If that's the case, I might as well not have one. That way, I won't have to carry a big belly every day, and I can sleep well at night."

Old Madam Shen: "This is your own child. If you give birth to another child, our Shen family will have one more person. When you are old, there will be more people to honor you."

Jiang Sujin: "Whether the Shen family has many people or not has nothing to do with me. I don't lack money. When I get old, I have maids to serve me. My son Hanhan only needs to talk, so I don't need so many children."

Madam Shen couldn't help but said anxiously, "Su Jin, I just mentioned marrying a second wife for Feng Er, and you made a scene about not having children. Aren't you just trying to make things difficult for me?"

Jiang Sujin said with a cold face: "I have always been respectful to grandma, but what she said today was really unpleasant."

"For a woman, being pregnant is a torment. My grandmother went through the same thing before, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of pity and even thought it was all natural."

"I just don't believe it. When you were pregnant, you never complained about the hardship."

"When your grandfather took a concubine while you were pregnant, didn't you feel sad at all?"

When Old Madam Shen heard this, her face instantly turned red. She was naturally sad at the time, but just to highlight her magnanimity as a legitimate wife, she personally helped him pick someone to send over.

Her heart was bleeding at the time, but so what? Aren't all women like this?

Madam Shen: "We are the legitimate wives. A legitimate wife should be tolerant and a woman should follow the three obediences and four virtues."

Jiang Sujin: "That's what you think. I won't let myself live in the rules and regulations of others. I live the way I want to live."

"If I have to be criticized for giving birth to a child, why should I go through all the trouble to give birth to him?"

"Come here, ask the court doctor to prescribe an abortion drug. I will kill him today, and he will never have another child again."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "If you dare to hit the child, I will let Feng'er divorce you."

Jiang Sujin: "Someone, go call the eldest son and ask him to write a divorce letter. I will pack up and leave tonight."

Madam Shen: "You... no wonder your mother-in-law doesn't like you. With someone like you, who can control you?"

Jiang Sujin: "Why should someone suppress me? Since I took charge of the Shen Mansion's finances, I have bought more than a dozen shops for the Shen Mansion. In addition, the Shen Mansion can save four or five hundred taels of silver every month, which is both increasing income and reducing expenditure."

"I think I've done a pretty good job. Why would grandma want to suppress me?"

Madam Shen: "I also gave you the power of household affairs."

Jiang Sujin: "You can come back, but even if you don't want to go back, I don't want to take this job anymore. I won't be the head of this family anymore, whoever wants to take care of it can do it!"

Old Madam Shen didn't expect her to say that. The power of household management was something that others wanted but couldn't get, yet she was actually willing to give it up.

More importantly, she really managed it very well, and there was no one more suitable than her.

After thinking about this, Mrs. Shen's attitude suddenly softened.

"Su Jin, grandma asked Feng Er to marry a concubine to relieve your pressure so that you can raise your children well, right? Do you really have to quarrel with grandma?"

Jiang Sujin: "I told you, you can go ask Shen Yanfeng. If he agrees, I naturally have no objection."

"But you still insist on asking me to have a proper attitude. That's really going too far. I can't be so magnanimous anyway."

"If I'm not happy, then none of us will be happy. I don't have to have a child, and I don't have to be the young lady of the Shen family."

Qiu Luan: "Young Madam, don't worry, even if Luan'er gets married, she won't..."

"Shut up, you haven't even entered the house yet, it's not your turn to speak here." Jiang Sujin said directly in a cold voice.

Old Madam Shen glanced at Qiu Luan with an unpleasant expression. This matter had really made it difficult to back down.

"Forget it, let's wait until Feng'er comes back. If he has no objection, let Qiuluan follow him. Once we have a child, it won't be too late to make her his second wife."

She thought Jiang Sujin was dissatisfied with her giving Qiu Luan the status of a co-wife, so she took the initiative to lower Qiu Luan's status, thinking that she would not be angry then.

Jiang Sujin looked around with a gloomy face, and then said in a cold voice: "Grandma, go talk to Shen Yanfeng. If he agrees... I will do what he wants."

She had no power to refuse these for him. After all, which man doesn't want to change his ways? What's more, he was hungry now!

If he agreed, then she would have completely fulfilled his wish.

Just as Madam Shen was about to say something, Shen Yanfeng came in.

"Grandma, when did you come?" Shen Yanfeng said as he looked at Jiang Sujin. After noticing that her face looked very ugly, he began to become flustered.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen subconsciously glanced at Jiang Sujin. Seeing that she didn't say anything, she couldn't help but clear her throat.

"Grandmother thinks Qiu Luan is a good girl, and she has been fond of you for a long time, so Grandmother wants to give her to you as a concubine."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng looked at Jiang Sujin in panic. Seeing that her face looked very ugly, he became even more flustered.

"Grandma, Susu is pregnant and about to give birth, why are you saying this at this time?"

Madam Shen: "Grandma, isn't this to show your sympathy for the fact that you have no one to take care of you?"

Shen Yanfeng: "There are so many people in Wutong Courtyard, how come no one is taking care of them? Don't worry about it."

Jiang Sujin: "My husband, you don't have to care whether I'm pregnant or not. As long as you like Qiu Luan, you can follow your heart at any time."

Shen Yanfeng: "You are all in my heart. I won't even look at anyone else."

When Qiu Luan heard this, her face instantly turned extremely ugly.

Madam Shen's expression turned unnatural when she heard this: "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but since Feng'er doesn't like it, there's no need to force it."

She was already in a difficult situation, so this was a way out.

Shen Yanfeng: "Grandma, you don't have to arrange for me to find a concubine. I already have Susu."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen raised her lips unnaturally: "You two have a good relationship, that's a good thing. But... Grandmother hopes that the Shen family can have more children."

Jiang Sujin: "My father-in-law did take in a third concubine, but unfortunately he didn't have a son. He finally gave birth to a son, but the midwife strangled him to death."

Old Madam Shen: "That's because your mother-in-law is ignorant. We should put the overall situation first. The prosperity of the Shen family will also be good for the legitimate son."

Jiang Sujin: "People should live their own lives. Too many constraints will only make you more trapped in the secular world."

Jiang Sujin refused to forgive Old Madam Shen, which made Old Madam Shen even angrier.

"Okay, you all live a clear life, but I'm an old woman and I'm worldly. Is that ok?"

Jiang Sujin: "Grandma, please don't be so angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself. After all, you are not young anymore. If you die, there will be no one to take charge of the Shen family."

She was mocking her. The old lady was so old, but she still wanted to be someone else's home.

Old Madam Shen naturally heard the sarcasm in her words. As expected, the eldest lady looked down on her at the beginning. She was really sharp-tongued and didn't take anyone seriously at all.

Shen Yanfeng: "Grandma, Susu is still pregnant, why are you saying these things?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but redden her eyes: "What did I say? Don't you see that your wife has been pressing on me?" After saying that, she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

Seeing that the old lady was trying to pretend to be pitiful, Jiang Sujin stood up with red eyes and was about to kneel down.

Seeing this, Shen Yanfeng hurriedly supported Jiang Sujin, fearing that her kneeling would hurt the baby in her belly again.

"My granddaughter-in-law was wrong. I hope grandma will forgive me." As she said this, she covered her stomach and began to sob softly.

"SuSu, don't cry!"

"Yanfeng, my stomach hurts!"

"Someone, call the court doctor quickly."

Seeing this, Old Madam Shen wiped her tears quickly and said hastily, "Go call the palace doctor."
