Chapter 543 People's hearts are changeable, so we must be on guard
Shen Jingchuan didn't say anything else, which was considered as his agreement with Shen Shuyi's statement.
That’s right, it won’t be too late to delay the abortion for a few more days. The Feng family has an arrogant attitude. Even if the daughter of the Shen family is shameless, is Feng Bochang a good person?
If the Feng family does not come up with a rule on this matter, he would rather lose his face and ask Your Majesty to judge the matter.

When Shen Shuyi returned to Yunshuyuan, he met Mr. Ouyang who came to teach his brother.
Mr. Ouyang was dressed simply, braving the wind and snow, with frost on his eyebrows and a wet trouser leg. He looked quite miserable.
"Hello, sir. In such weather, you are here to give lessons for my brother. I am very grateful."
Shen Shuyi took the initiative to speak with a respectful attitude.
Mr. Ouyang waved his hand and said, "Second Miss, you don't have to be polite. The eldest son is a man of natural talent. Although he is physically constrained, he still has the talent to govern the world. It is an honor for me to teach him."
"Thank you, sir. Jinzhu, I'll send someone to bring you a pot of hot tea and some dry clothes later."
After saying that, Shen Shuyi looked at Mr. Ouyang and said, "In that case, I won't delay you any longer."
"I will take my leave, Miss, please stay."
Looking at Mr. Ouyang's back, Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were deep. After a while, he turned around and slowly returned to Yunshu Garden.
Did the Qin family think she was stupid?
It didn't take Jiang Li long to find out that Mr. Ouyang's son had married Shen Jingan's distant cousin.
Given her current relationship with the Qin family, how could she believe that he would do his best?
But then again, Ouyang Song's attitude was very real. If a person had a simple mind, he would definitely be moved and deceived by him.
After Shen Shuyi returned to Yunshu Garden, he took a bath. When he came out of the bath, his whole body felt warm.
She sat beside the low table and played a game of chess by herself.
Not long after, Yuping came in from outside and whispered, "Miss, Aunt Qiulian beside the old lady has brought something to you."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "Please ask her to come in."
Seeing Shen Shuyi, Aunt Qiulian greeted her immediately and then said in a friendly manner: "The weather this year is unpredictable. It has been cold these few days. The old lady said that you are thin, so she deliberately asked someone to make two sets of clothes for you."
Shen Shuyi looked up and saw that there were indeed two brand new jackets and skirts on the tray.
It was a warm orange dress, embroidered with gold peony cloud patterns in gold thread, and the collar and cuffs were trimmed with fox fur. It looked thick and warm just by looking at it.
The other piece is a plain lotus pink color, with a picture of the stars under the moon outlined with silver lines, and pearls and gems of various sizes inlaid on it, exuding luxury in a low-key manner.
It can be seen that a lot of money was spent.
"Thank you grandma and aunt for your concern. How is grandma's health these days?" Shen Shuyi spoke warmly and asked someone to serve Aunt Qiulian a cup of hot tea.
Qiulian sighed softly: "It's still the same."
In fact, Madam Shen is now suffering from a mental illness. She originally wanted to ignore everything in the mansion and just wanted to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.
However, accidents happened one after another in the mansion, and no one was safe, and the entire Shen family was not at peace.
Since she cannot achieve purity of the six senses, she will naturally be entangled in worldly affairs.
Shen Shuyi chatted with Aunt Qiulian for a while, and asked someone to pick out a root of old ginseng from the rewards obtained in the autumn hunt, and asked Aunt Qiulian to take it back to her grandmother.
Qiu Lian looked at Shen Shuyi, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After a while, she sighed and said, "Second Miss, the Shen Mansion is your home after all, and your last name is Shen. If the Shen family is defeated, your future will be much more difficult."
"Thank you for your reminder, auntie. Shuyi understands."
I thought Shen Shuyi had listened to me, but I didn't expect that the next moment, Qiulian heard Shen Shuyi say: "But things in this world, if they are golden and jade on the outside but rotten inside, they will never last long. Although scraping the bone to cure the poison is painful, it is the only way to survive."
Qiulian was stunned for a moment, then she saw Shen Shuyi stand up and said, "Aunt, please tell grandma that Shuyi's surname is Shen, and the Shen Mansion is also Shuyi's home. However, if the termites are not removed, the Shen Mansion will never have peace."
Qiulian looked at Shen Shuyi with complicated eyes, nodded, turned and left.
Jinzhu looked at the two pieces of clothing that were delivered and couldn't help but praise, "Miss, these clothes are really beautiful. You have never worn this red before."
Yu Ping said, "It's rare that the old lady cares about you."
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes drifted away. It was not because she was worried about him, but because she had heard that Shen Jingyu and Shen Jingzhen had been in trouble recently, so she was trying to be nice to him in the hope that he would stop.
But no matter what, even if it's just a gesture of goodwill, it's still good.
I think by giving her these two pieces of clothing, I hoped that she would remember the many times she had taken care of her when she was at the Jade Buddha Temple.
But what she said was true.
Nothing in this world can be created without destruction.
With people like Qin Xuerong in the Shen family and relatives like the Qin family who are trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful, the Shen family will never have peace.
What's more, if she was soft-hearted, how could she justify the suffering she had endured in her previous life?
As they were talking, Jinzhu said in surprise: "Miss, there are deeds to two shops here, both of which are good locations to make money."
Shen Shuyi's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "Please ask Lian Qiao to come over when you have time to check the clothes."
Jinzhu was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react.
Shen Shuyi said softly: "People's hearts are changeable, so we have to be on guard."
What's more, although Madam Shen was good to her, she was never her only choice.
Now her existence endangers the descendants of the Shen family. Who can know what she is thinking?

On the other side, after Qiulian returned to Jing'an Courtyard, she relayed Shen Shuyi's words to Old Madam Shen.
Old Madam Shen sat in front of the Buddha statue for a long time without saying a word.
It was not until late at night that she got up and walked into the house with Qiulian's support. She whispered, "Have you taken out all the things I asked you to take out?"
"Don't worry, old lady. I took it myself."
Hearing this, Madam Shen said nothing more.
The Shen family is in turmoil now, all thanks to Shen Shuyi, but that child has indeed had a hard time these years.
Qin was indeed too much, but she couldn't just watch her own offspring die...
After much thought, it is better to get rid of Shen Shuyi.
But when she really had the chance to do it, she hesitated again.
The two pieces of clothing that were sent to me originally contained powder made from ground poisonous grass hidden in the cotton interlayer. If people wear them all the time, they will not live long.
But in the end, she asked Qiulian to take the things out and exchange them for two deeds.
After all, she didn't want to become enemies with Shen Shuyi. She was still young at that time, and she couldn't see her abilities but she could see that the child was loyal and righteous.
Now, no one in the Shen family can surpass her.
If she fails, it means that she will become her mortal enemy and there will be no way back.
What's more, how could she, an old woman on the verge of exhaustion, trap the phoenix that was about to spread its wings and fly high?
"Qiulian, tell me...did I do the right thing this time?"
Old Madam Shen murmured softly, she had aged a lot due to a serious illness.
Qiu Lian was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I don't know whether what you did is right or wrong, but I think the Second Miss at least has good intentions."
Madam Shen smiled bitterly: "Your behavior has given me some comfort."
