Chapter 56 Meng Huaiyan... is he crying?

Chapter 56 Meng Huaiyan... is he crying?

Meng Huaiyan held Shen Tang even tighter in his arms, as if this would lessen the pain in his heart.

Shen Tang felt uncomfortable from her grip and was about to struggle when she suddenly felt a warm liquid fall onto the back of her neck.

Shen Tang's body stiffened slightly, and she stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Is Meng Huaiyan...crying?

Shen Tang's heart tightened instantly, and her feelings were complicated.

She had seen many sides of Meng Huaiyan: cold, rational, ruthless, and unscrupulous. But seeing him in tears was something she was seeing for the first time.

His usual image is too cold and unyielding, as if nothing in this world can defeat him.

So it turns out he also has a vulnerable side?

Shen Tang couldn't describe how she felt. Her heart felt stuffy and uncomfortable, as if it were blocked by cotton.

In her past life, she longed for something she couldn't have; in this life, it's Meng Huaiyan who has changed her mind.

They were both in love with each other, but their paths never intersected, and by some twist of fate, they went in completely opposite directions.

How ridiculous is fate.

Shen Tang suddenly felt confused about her rebirth. What was the meaning of her return?

Let her experience the pain he forced Meng Huaiyan to suffer in his previous life?

Or should we let Meng Huaiyan experience the heartache of unrequited love from her past life?

Shen Tang didn't understand, but suddenly felt very tired.

She doesn't like to dwell on the past because the past can't be changed, and life always moves forward; she has to look ahead.

Now that she has let go of Meng Huaiyan, she has no intention of looking back.

It's impossible for anyone to go through life without making mistakes, but it's foolish to fall into the same trap twice.

She no longer wants to be with him.

Shen Tang closed her eyes, her heart as still as death. She whispered, "Meng Huaiyan."

"Let me go."

The person behind her remained silent for a long time. Just as Shen Tang was about to fall asleep, Meng Huaiyan's cold and obsessive voice rang in her ears.

"You're dreaming!"

*

As soon as Shen Li returned to her residence, her expression suddenly darkened.

After smashing some vases and teacups in the room, the anger in my heart finally subsided a bit.

Seeing her like this, Madam He frowned and said, "What are you doing?! Calm down."

"Have you forgotten everything I taught you? This isn't your own home, so behave yourself."

"Mother! How much more obedient can I be!"

Shen Li paced around the room angrily: "You told me to curry favor with Shen Tang and get on her good side, and I did. You told me to listen to her, and I did."

What else do you want me to do?!

Mrs. He was so dumbfounded by her daughter's stupidity that she said, "I told you to listen to Shen Tang, but I didn't tell you to listen to everything."

"She told you to seduce the prince and you went? Why don't you use your brain to think about it? What wife can tolerate her husband being coveted by others and still go out of her way to find women for him?"

How could you be so stupid!

Shen Li was stunned by He Shi's scolding. She had naturally noticed something was wrong yesterday.

The allure of the title of Crown Princess was too great; she was so overwhelmed by it that she impulsively went.

Unexpectedly, she was not only rejected by Meng Huaiyan, that unromantic scoundrel, but was also thrown out.

This is an absolute disgrace!

If it weren't for his status as the heir of the Meng family, who would bother to fawn over him?

The feelings she now harbors for Meng Huaiyan have long been forgotten, buried somewhere in the past.

I just wanted to beat him up to vent my anger.

And then there's that damned woman, Shen Tang. I wonder how she could be so kind, giving up such a huge gold nugget from the Meng family so easily.

He even unusually called her "little sister" affectionately, apparently because he was waiting for her here.

Without realizing it, she had set him up and he suffered a huge setback.

Ugh, she's so angry!!!

Seeing that her daughter had not learned any of her skills or abilities, Mrs. He felt a headache coming on. How could her daughter have been so stupid!

Seeing that Shen Li was still pacing back and forth in the room in anger, He Shi's head hurt even more from being shaken, and she said sternly, "Sit down!"

Seeing that her mother was truly angry, Shen Li sat down obediently, feeling wronged.

"Mother, what should we do? Shen Tang doesn't take us seriously at all, let alone let me take her to those high-society ladies' gatherings in the capital to broaden my horizons."

He Shi's face also looked unpleasant; she truly hadn't expected Shen Tang to be such a tough nut to crack.

After all, she had suffered so much under her when she was young, and she believed that she could still control her now.

The Great Liang values ​​filial piety, so she can use her position as an elder to exert pressure on her. With the title of Crown Princess, she doesn't believe the Crown Princess would disregard her reputation and turn against her.

She had some reservations, so if Pear fawned over her a little, she would naturally be more accommodating in getting what she wanted.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, Shen Tang has become quite cunning.

I no longer act recklessly like I used to; I've learned to play dirty tricks.

It seems that Shen Tang's path is not easy to take. After all, she is now the Crown Prince's wife, and she really doesn't dare to do anything to her.

After pondering for a moment, Madam He said to Shen Li, "Go and pay a visit to your aunt tomorrow."

Shen Li hesitated for a moment: "Will our aunt take care of us?"

Although Mrs. He was also uncertain, she still said to Shen Li, "She is your own aunt, so naturally she will take care of you."

The reason why Madam He didn't look for her sister-in-law immediately when she came to the Duke's mansion was naturally because she wasn't very familiar with her.

She had only met her sister-in-law once or twice when she returned to her hometown to visit relatives, and her sister-in-law was not warm towards her; in fact, she could be described as indifferent.

She only learned later that this sister-in-law had a very good relationship with Shen Tang's mother, and that Shen Tang's mother's death was indirectly related to her, which was why she disliked her so much.

When she came to the capital this time, she thought that Shen Tang would be easier to handle, and as an elder, she had more advantages.

But unexpectedly...

There's no other way now but to go find that sister-in-law.

Even if she dislikes her, Shen Li is still her niece. They are both nieces, so she shouldn't be so biased towards one over the other.

Thinking of this, when Madam He saw Shen Li's alluring and somewhat undignified attire, she couldn't help but frown.

"Dress appropriately for me tomorrow, so as to make a good impression on your aunt."

Shen Li was immediately displeased upon hearing this. What was wrong with her attire? She looked absolutely stunning in that scarlet color.

Madam He knew her daughter too well; she knew what her daughter was thinking without her saying a word, and said another word.

"If you don't want to be sent back to Tianshui County, you'd better behave yourself."

Having witnessed the prosperity of the capital, Shen Li definitely wouldn't want to go back to the poor and remote Tianshui County.

She immediately replied obediently, "Mother, I understand."
