Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 662 - 660

Chapter 662: Chapter 660

Housekeeper Qian did not remove his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, but the mansion is filled with both masters and servants, and we have no shortage of people to entertain guests. The weather is cold, you should go home!"

Today, Mrs. Shen could no longer endure. She planned to go in and stir up trouble. So she directly went over to push Housekeeper Qian’s hand: "You dog of a servant, get out of my way! I want to go in! This is my son’s home, why should I not be allowed to enter! I cannot let Mrs. Liu take advantage of my son’s absence and squander all the silver in the house."

The guards immediately held out two big swords, crossing them in front of Mrs. Shen’s eyes. This scared her into backing off repeatedly, and caused her to step on Shen Jingwen’s foot, making him jump in pain.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying, Madam Shen. This house belongs to my Mistress. This large fortune was earned by our young master and the gentlemen together. Why would my Mistress spend her own family’s property? Moreover, our Mistress is just showing her gratitude for the villagers’ hard work. How can this be seen as squandering? You are clearly here to cause trouble! This is the Marquis Mansion! The people inside have noble identities; you can’t afford to offend them! Leave at once or don’t blame the swords for not having eyes!" Scolded the housekeeper, looking furious.

Upon hearing these words, Shen Jingwen disregarded his foot pain and quickly nudged Mrs. Shen, whispering,"Grandmother, this is an opportunity not to be missed!"

Mrs. Shen looked at the gleaming swords in the sunlight and trembled as she stepped forward: "Damn it, I am determined to get in today! This is my son’s home. If I want to go in, I will go in. Who are you to stop me!"

The aroma of the food was too tempting. Mrs. Shen, who hadn’t eaten meat for too long, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, vowing to make sure that Wen’er gets a bowl before adding the poison after entering!

Feng Yang and Zhao Yong were hiding and watching the scene unfold. Feng Yang, with contempt on his full face, said: "That old woman was really fierce when cursing people. Now that the swords are out, she’s scared. Does she still dream of killing the girl? She’ll probably be scared to death before getting close!"

"Ignorant women and kids are all just bullies who get intimidated by slightest show of resistance!" Zhao Yong spoke with disdain.

The guards moved their swords in their hands, and Mrs. Shen was scared into retreating again!

Oh my! The gate of the third branch is even more terrifying than the gate of the government office!

Clever Mrs. Liu, she must be prepared to prevent her from entering!

"It seems Madam Shen has forgotten that you’ve cut ties with our master, a fact even the Emperor acknowledged!" When Housekeeper Qian mentioned the Emperor, he gestured towards the direction of the Imperial Capital.

Mention of this left Mr. Shen stunned. Even the Emperor has acknowledged it! Isn’t all hope lost then! What should he do now?

Shen Jingwen was getting anxious. The old woman usually cursed the people of the third branch as if she wanted to eat their flesh and gnaw their bones. But now when it was time for action, she was backing down!

The Buddha’s Temptation was truly as good as its reputation suggests. Even he just wants to jump over the wall to get a bite, tasting the flavors himself! If Mrs. Shen doesn’t go in soon, there will be nothing left.

Mrs. Lan was also anxious, she thought for a while and approached Mrs. Shen and whispered: "Mother, don’t be afraid, just break in! Those guards wouldn’t dare to harm you; they are just trying to scare you. You are the birth mother of the third brother, they are just servants and wouldn’t dare to kill you!"

"They two, mother and son, are up to no good!" Feng Yang looked at Mrs. Lan and Shen Jingwen with disgust.

Zhao Yong nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Shen was full of doubt. If Mrs. Lan was so sure, why didn’t she charge in herself? She could follow her!

Swords have no eyes, even if they were not meant to kill her, she could still get hit and bleed. With this thought, Mrs. Shen said: "Mrs. Lan, you rush in first, I’ll follow behind you!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lan was so angry she nearly fainted! This old woman wants to reap the benefits without taking any risk, how could this be possible!

Feng Yang laughed hearing this, thinking that the old woman wasn’t completely foolish.

Shen Chengwen anxiously said: "Grandmother, if we don’t go in now, there won’t be anything left!"

The aroma of the meat was so irresistible that Shen Jingwen, who was usually above everyone else, just wanted to run in and get a bowl of food!

This aroma was too tempting! He couldn’t stand it anymore.

Not just Shen Jingwen, Mr. Shen and Shen Chengguang also couldn’t help but salivate at the enticing aroma! So hungry!

After hearing those words, Mrs. Shen grabbed Mrs. Lan, and they started walking forward together.

Mrs. Lan felt like crying and silently cursed Mrs. Shen’s ancestors in her heart.

They walked forward tremulously, out of fear. Despite this, Mrs. Lan forced an odd smile, "Housekeeper Qian, we really mean no harm. We just want to go in and apologize. Please let us in!"

At this time, Feng Yang, who was hiding in a dark place, flicked a small stone at Mrs. Lan’s knee. Mrs. Lan, in pain, bent her knee, and instinctively moved forward. Out of reflex, she grabbed Mrs. Shen’s arm, trying to steady herself.

Mrs. Shen, taken off balance by Mrs. Lan’s sudden pull, stumbled forward.

The guard swiftly held a knife to Mrs. Shen’s throat, causing an immediate, bloody cut.

"Ah!" Mrs. Shen screamed and fainted.

Upon seeing the blood on Mrs. Shen’s neck, Mrs. Lan broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly ran behind Shen Chengguang.

"Get them out of here right away! Trespassing is a capital offense in the Marquis Mansion! The sword doesn’t have eyes; next time, it won’t just leave a mere cut!" Housekeeper Qian waved his hand as if driving away flies.

Realizing they couldn’t get in again, Mr. Shen pushed Shen Chengguang, "Quickly carry your mother back! The ground is cold. If she catches a chill, I can’t afford her medical bills!"

Shen Chengguang pulled Mrs. Lan aside, "You bring mom home."

"Bastard!" Feng Yang spat out two words coldly from the dark.

"I’m scared, you go!" Mrs. Lan withdrew her hand and ran away upon learning this.

"Wen’er, carry your grandmother back home!" Shen Chengguang demanded of his son.

Seeing the shining big sword still pointed at Mrs. Shen, Shen Jingwen quickly hid behind Mr. Shen, "Dad, my shoulder can’t bear a load, and my hand can’t lift heavy things. I’m not strong enough to carry grandmother home!"

"A rotten bamboo shoots rotten shoots!" Zhao Yong continued with Feng Yang’s evaluation.

Left with no choice, Shen Chengguang grabbed Mrs. Shen’s two legs and dragged her out, distancing her from the big sword. Then he cursed at Mrs. Lan, "Quickly help take care of mom! Do you want to tire me to death?"

Feng Yang opened his eyes wide in disbelief and said, "Isn’t he human? He has no humanity!"

Only then did Mrs. Lan dare to step forward and with Shen Chengguang helped Mrs. Shen stand up. The two then half dragged, half carried her home.

But Mr. Shen was reluctant to leave. He planned to wait there. After the villagers finished eating and left, he would try to get in again.

He wasn’t going to give up!

Seeing this, Shen Jingwen felt that his grandfather was more adept. Wait here, wait until the villagers left, then they would seize the opportunity to break in.

Seeing this, Housekeeper Qian signaled the guard with his eyes.

The guard came forward with his sword, intentionally swinging it in front of the two. Scared, Shen Jingwen quickly clutched his own neck and ran away.

Likewise, Mr. Shen also ran away, calling out, "Wen’er, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Housekeeper Qian spat contemptuously, "They have the nerve of a thief, but not the guts!"
