Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 571 I have a plan.

As the two brothers stepped inside the house, they didn't even have to bring themselves to say anything, the matter of her mother in law adopting another girl as her granddaughter has finally reached Madam Zhu and now she was standing in front of her husband and brother in law with a wooden stick in hand as she continued to smack them with it. " You… You two I have no words for your stupidity! My Wan Wan is being wronged like this and you two are sitting here with no intentions of doing anything? Are you even human? How can you watch your niece getting wronged like this?"

Even the ever flaky Madam Huo was glaring at her husband, though he was beaten by his sister in law, as his wife, Madam Huo not only did she not step forward but she also snorted at his continuous shouts. This was exactly what her husband deserved!

This afternoon, while Madam Huo was looking for the new bolt of cloth that she has brought from the market while coming to Dong Tong Town when she found the letter that was stuffed under the mattress. Shen Zizhen has hidden the letter away thinking that no one will find it but the thing was that he did all that in the middle of the night, that was why he didn't notice the edge of the paper that was poking out from the bottom of the mattress.

Though it wasn't visible at the night, it was indeed visible in the bright light of the afternoon sun. Madam Huo noticed the corners of a letter poking out and wrenched it out, once she was done reading the content of the letter—— she rushed to Madam Zhu who in turn roared at her husband to rush back to the house at once.

And thus the situation was now like this.

Madam Zhu glared at her husband and brother in law, and when she noticed that Su Wan has woken up from her nap, she started to feel even worse. Su Wan walked out of Lin Yan's room and walked toward her eldest aunt, " What happened, why are you, upset aunt?"

Listening to her innocent niece's words who had no idea what her uncles did behind her back, Madam Zhu was even more furious. She once again raised the wooden stick in her hand and smacked her husband and brother in law as she coldly hissed. " This is all your fault! Because of your selfishness, you wanted to keep hiding Wan Wan. And now that your selfishness has created such trouble instead of telling the truth you are hiding it! How long were you going to hide it? Until mother in law adopts any tom, dick or harry as her granddaughter?"

" What's more, she is even thinking of holding a ceremony to adopt that girl as her granddaughter, if she were to do this then everyone would think that the girl was adopted by the Shen family! And unanimously start supporting her! What will happen to our poor Wan Wan? Where will she put her face if her position was to be snatched by someone like that daughter of the Ji family?"

" And what's more have you forgotten how troublesome your uncle is? He is like a leech that likes to sponge off others but doesn't like to pay the favours back. I don't think that he has any good intentions for sending his granddaughter to the Shen house. It's bad enough that your mother dotes on that useless brother of hers but at least we can ignore one or two requests from the Ji family because after all the two families are separated. But if mother was to adopt the Ji family's daughter then our life will be entangled with theirs and we would have to most likely start raising the entire Ji family with our fortune! If that happens how will we give Wan Wan the best of everything?"

Shen Zizhen rubbed his arms, though he could have easily fought back. He respected his sister in law the most, it was because of her that the Shen family was able to get back on track and with her behind them, the Ji family was never too vocal about snatching this or that from them.

If not their Shen family would have been taken over by the Ji family.

He hissed as pain shot through his entire arm. " Sister in law, it wasn't my plan to hide Wan Wan, Don't forget that I too was kept under the impression that our niece still hates us, until my brother needed my help. I … I was just tempted by what brother said, he was the one who lured me in with his tempting words."

Shen Junxi felt like he was stabbed in the back by his brother. He slowly breathed in and glared at the traitor before grounding out. "It's not like you didn't agree with me back then? You also wanted to stay with Wan Wan without her being smothered by our mother didn't you?"

" I never said that I didn't want to but you were the one who asked me to hide that letter and not tell anyone about it, now that our mother is spoiling that fake granddaughter are you happy now? I bet, she might be using the entire Shen family's fortune to dote on that girl! All of this belongs to our Wan Wan! Why must she be devoid of this love!"

After finding out what was going on Su Wan didn't know whether she should be laughing or crying.

Shen Junxi kicked his brother in the shin and sneered. "I asked you to hide that letter and you did? Zizhen who are you trying to fool? When have you ever listened to me? You don't do anything that you don't want to! You only hid that letter because that was what you wanted."

When he was caught Shen Zizhen stuttered. " No matter what but I still that what's happening at the Shen house is wrong. We should have told them that Wan Wan forgave us and is willing to live with us, that way our mother wouldn't have been played by our uncle."
