Huh? It Didn't Cost Anything?
Shen Tao didn't know what Zhou Wanwan's plans were, but Zhou Wanwan was very reliable, so they went downstairs to rest.
Zhou Wanwan had a dedicated team to organize the wedding banquet, and they were very efficient. In just one hour, the entire mansion was decorated with a festive atmosphere.
Zhou Wanwan said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, the efficiency is quite high."
The trees nearby said, "The efficiency is definitely high! We're professionals, and these setups didn't cost any money."
"Huh? You didn't spend any money?"
"Yes! The Jiang Family's estate is doing quite well; all our stuff was brought over from there."
Okay! We just took what was already there.
The trees nearby swayed their branches around Zhou Wanwan, saying, "Wanwan, aren't we incredibly clever?"
What can Zhou Wanwan do in this situation?
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Smart, exceptionally smart."
The trees nearby were especially happy:
"It's not just about bringing these things back."
We even brought the Nie Family gifts from the Nie Family family; they were really quite generous!
These trees are really cute.
Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, you guys figure it out! Just have fun."
It's your own tree, so you can pamper it yourself!
After Zhou Wanwan finished setting up the place, she went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, someone from the Jiang Family helped Shen Miaomiao with her washing and dressing.
Qin Shuang smiled and said:
"That's a good girl! After you go to the Nie Family, behave well, and see if Shen Tao will love you."
I don't care about you at all. The only one who truly cares about you is me. If you suffer any injustice at the Nie Family, come back and tell me."
Shen Miaomiao looked at Qin Shuang and said, "This is the last time I will call you Mother. From now on, we are estranged."
Qin Shuang's expression changed and she said:
"You dare? Have I been too kind to you? Shen Miaomiao, you'd better behave, or you'll regret it."
These maids and nannies are part of your dowry; listen to them from now on.
These people were sent to watch over her.
Shen Miaomiao looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Okay, I'll definitely be a good girl."
"That's right! There's no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between us, mother and daughter. After you go to the Nie Family, live a good life together," Qin Shuang said.
Shen Miaomiao nodded, quickly changed her clothes, and got into the bridal sedan chair.
Qin Shuang watched the bridal sedan chair leave and breathed a sigh of relief.
But suddenly she fainted.
Qin Shuang felt dizzy and her consciousness was blurred.
It felt like something was constantly controlling her.
She soon felt herself lose consciousness, and when she woke up again, she found herself in an unfamiliar place with a strange man sleeping next to her.
"Ah! Who are you?" Qin Shuang screamed.
The man beside her hugged her and said, "Wife, wife, I need to pee, pee-pee..."
Qin Shuang looked at the man beside her and asked, "Who are you? Where am I?"
The old woman outside rushed in and said, "What's all the noise about? It's so late, don't you need to sleep?"
Qin Shuang stared blankly at her and asked, "Where is this?"
"This is the Nie Family! Young mistress's memory is really bad."
Qin Shuang felt dizzy. "The Nie Family? How did I end up at the Nie Family? Shouldn't it be Shen Miaomiao who came today?"
The old woman looked at her with a suspicious expression and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you Shen Miaomiao?"
But judging from your appearance, you must be in your early twenties, almost 30, right?
Oh no! Someone help! Something seems wrong with this bride.
Madam Nie and Master Nie rushed over.
Madam Nie looked at Qin Shuang and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Shuang was speechless and said, "I don't know either. I woke up like this."
Madam Nie looked at her and said:
"If you're here, then where is Shen Miaomiao?"
You took our betrothal gifts, are you trying to cheat us out of them?
Was it you who got married yesterday?
Qin Shuang said, "I don't know. I wasn't fully conscious at the time, and I don't know how I got in here."
Madam Nie scoffed coldly, "Qin Shuang, I don't care about that now. Where is Shen Miaomiao?"
Qin Shuang shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
"Fine, fine, you're really something. You really think that just because you've married into the Nie Family, we can't do anything to you, huh?"
Qin Shuang stamped her feet in frustration. "Do you think I want to marry into your family and take care of this idiot? I'm going to find Shen Miaomiao now!"
Madam Nie looked at Qin Shuang suspiciously and asked, "You really don't know about this?"
"I really don't know. Hurry up and find Shen Miaomiao. I don't want to stay in your house." Qin Shuang said impatiently.
As soon as they stepped outside, they heard someone say, "Yesterday our family had a happy occasion, and the Shen Clan across the street also had a happy occasion! It was quite a lively affair."
"Yes, yes, County Magistrate Shen got married yesterday! I heard the person sitting at the head of the table is actually a child!"
"What? A child is sitting at the head of the table? That's really strange!"
"Anyway, I don't know either, but they gave out a lot of wedding candies and cookies yesterday!"
"I even managed to snag a lot of lucky money yesterday!"
Qin Shuang rushed up to them and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean County Magistrate Shen got married?"
Someone looked at Qin Shuang and said, "That's right! County Magistrate Shen across the street got married yesterday! Didn't you know? The whole of Xin'an County knows."
Qin Shuang exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! How could he get married so quickly?"
She stumbled and rushed to the Shen residence.
The gates of the Shen residence were tightly shut, with a "double happiness" character pasted on the door. She pounded on the door and shouted, "Shen Tao, get out here!"
The butler came out and said, "Oh! Isn't this the former madam? What are you doing knocking on the door of our Shen residence?"
Qin Shuang angrily retorted, "This is my home! I can knock on doors whenever I want! Make Shen Tao come out and see me!"
The butler sneered:
"Do you think this is still your home? Are you out of your mind?"
We now have a new wife in the manor, you'd better leave quickly!
Qin Shuang shouted, "Shen Tao, get out here! Why are you finding someone new so quickly? How could you do this to me?"
People around pointed and whispered, "Isn't that the former wife of the Shen Clan? What is she doing?"
"Could it be that she regrets it now that County Magistrate Shen has married someone new?"
"I heard that they wanted her to get a divorce because she had another man outside the marriage, and even the three children she had were with that man."
"No wonder County Magistrate Shen doesn't want her; whoever marries a woman like that is doomed."
Shen Tao looked at Shen Miaomiao in his arms with tender eyes, when he heard a voice from outside. "Young Master, Qin Shuang is knocking on the door, saying it's urgent."
Shen Tao frowned and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
He was then embraced by Shen Miaomiao: "Husband, don't go."
Shen Tao said helplessly, "I don't know if Qin Shuang knows we're married. I need to go out and check."
Shen Miaomiao then let go of him and said, "So what if they know? They'd find out sooner or later anyway."
"Okay, I'll go out and take a look."
Shen Tao went outside and saw Qin Shuang going crazy. "Shen Tao, you're really shameless, you've already found someone else so quickly?"
Shen Tao frowned and looked at her, saying, "Is this why you came?"
"Yes! Otherwise, why would I? Did you already have someone else before?"
"Otherwise, how could you have gotten together with someone else so soon after we just got divorced?"
Shen Tao looked at Qin Shuang and said:
"Qin Shuang, we've come to this point entirely because of your own actions."
How dare you question me like this? Don't try to be unreasonable.
Qin Shuang shouted, "How dare you say I'm being unreasonable? Shen Tao, you've gone too far! What kind of lady did you marry?"
Shen Tao said indifferently, "What's it to you?"
Zhou Wanwan also came out, and Qin Shuang pointed at her Zhou Wanwan said:
"This little girl, is she your daughter with another woman?"
You're truly shameless; you've been having an affair with another woman behind my back all along.
