An apology is impossible.

Shen Ningzhu stood up with a sneer, lifted the tablecloth, and overturned all the food on the table to the ground.

"Rebellious girl, what are you doing? Are you...are you trying to rebel against heaven?"

Before anyone could criticize her, Shen Ningzhu took the initiative. She pointed at everyone, tears welling up in her eyes, grief-stricken like a shrew.

"Don't you believe me no matter what I say? All you have eyes for is that lowly village girl, right?"

"But I am your daughter, the jewel you have cherished for over a decade!"

"Why did everything change when she came? Why are you all so partial to her, giving her all the love that should have belonged to me?"

These words completely overturned the three views of everyone present. I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen anyone so thick-skinned.

She was a fake daughter, and the Shen family felt sorry for her and didn't want her to return to the hard and dark countryside, so they kept her in the Shen Mansion and raised her like a young lady.

I didn't expect her to be so ungrateful.

Not only did he frame their own flesh and blood time and time again, but he also dared to so blatantly snatch the favor of their own daughter.

It's simply the farmer and the snake.

The Shen family cannot allow this kind of disaster to continue.

Chen Yu and Jiang Wanwan looked at each other with serious expressions. Judging from Chen Ningzhu's mental state, she might have gone crazy and her behavior was completely unlike that of a normal person.

They felt a little sad that their daughter, whom they had raised for so long, suddenly became like this.

But thinking about such a madman in the Shen Mansion, who knows how much trouble he will cause.

Xue'er has suffered so much, they must not let her get into trouble again under their noses.

The only option now is to give up Chen Ningzhu.

Shen Yu made up his mind that he would go and beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow to get rid of the person as soon as possible.

To prevent any further complications.

Chen Ningzhu's eyes were filled with hatred that seemed to be about to overflow, and she squeezed out words one by one from between her teeth with tears streaming down her face.

"Chen Ningxue, it's all Chen Ningxue's fault, it's all her fault, it's because of her that I became like this."

"I hate her, I hate her, I, Shen Ningzhu, swear here that I will not let her go, absolutely not, wuwuwu——"

Chen Ningzhu cried with tears in her eyes with every word. People who didn't know her would think she had suffered a great injustice. She covered her eyes and ran out of the dining hall while crying.

Behind him, Jiang Wanwan grabbed the corner of Shen Yu's sleeve in a panic, "Master..."

Shen Yu sighed heavily, raised his hand and gently patted the back of his wife's hand, and said softly:

"Don't worry, ma'am. I know what's going on. If I hadn't been so careless, I wouldn't have taken our daughter by mistake."

"Over the years, we owe Xue'er too much. Now, she has finally returned to us."

"Don't worry, this time, I will never let her suffer even the slightest injustice."

…

Pearl Garden

Chen Ningzhu returned to her room and told Zhiyuan to go to the restaurant outside to buy food for her.

As for the account, it will be recorded in the name of the prince.

Didn't he want her to come into the mansion? Then let's start by raising her. Zhiyuan hesitated, wanting to say something.

Shen Ningzhu looked at her, frightened her so much that her legs went weak and she quickly knelt on the ground, "Miss, calm down. I was just worried that the restaurant wouldn't buy it."

That's true.

I should have known better than to pawn the jade pendant. Now that I think about it, it's such a huge loss. How about having Zhiyuan go to the Prince's Mansion and ask for a token of love?

Turning her head to glance out the window, Shen Ningzhu gave up the idea again. No, if she kept going back and forth like this, and something unexpected happened and delayed her, when would she be able to offer sacrifices to her stomach?

The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

"Forget it, let's just make do with this for today. Go to the kitchen and get some food."

Zhiyuan responded and went out, and Chen Ningzhu leaned on the chaise longue and began to rest with her eyes closed.

Zhiyi obediently fanned her and said carefully, "Miss, don't be too sad. The Shen family will regret treating you like this one day."

Shen Ningzhu opened her eyes upon hearing this and looked at her with interest, "Oh? Why?"

Given her suicidal nature, the Shen family didn't break her legs, only out of respect for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Regret? Are you kidding me?

Zhiyi smiled innocently, touched her double buns, and looked sincere.

"The young lady may seem arrogant and domineering, but she actually has a kind heart. She's much better than Miss Xue'er."

"What we did was also forced upon us. It was just an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

"Take those evil slaves today for example. As slaves, they dared to insult their masters like that. Even if they were beaten to death on the spot or directly sold out of the house, it would be a light punishment."

"The young lady was merciful and only had them slapped a few times."

"On the other hand, Miss Xue'er, who clearly grew up in a farming family, is so useless that she was easily angered by you, young lady, and even became ill and unable to get out of bed. Who would believe this if I told anyone else?"

Shen Ningzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at the round-faced little maid seriously for the first time.

The first feeling is that it is so immature.

She has a round face the size of a palm, a pair of round, watery almond-shaped eyes, and thick, long eyelashes that flicker like a small fan, making her look extremely innocent.

He smiled, tilted his head, propped up his head with his fist and said with relief: "I've always been scolded, this is the first time I've heard someone praise me."

It’s ridiculous that none of the people in the Shen family can see things as clearly as a little maid.

However, it is also possible that they knew it in their hearts, but still chose to side with Shen Ningxue. After all, there are differences in closeness, and they are the real family.

…

At dawn the next day, Chen Ningzhu was pulled out of bed by Zhiyuan and Zhiyi.

"Miss, please wake up quickly. Nanny Gui from the palace has arrived and is sitting in the flower hall. The Shangshu's wife has gone to accompany you and is waiting for you."

If I don't go over now, I'm afraid I'll be blamed by the other party.

Chen Ningzhu pushed away the two people's outstretched hands in a daze, and impatiently pulled the quilt to cover her head. The two people had no choice but to pull it again.

"My dear lady, please be kind. It is said that Nanny Gui is the most favored person around the Empress. If you offend her, I am afraid you will suffer the consequences."

In serious cases, you may not be able to enter the Eastern Palace.

But they didn't dare say this out loud.

Chen Ningzhu really didn't want to get up yet, and she was deliberately not getting up.

The best people are those around the queen, who can exaggerate and tell the queen about her arrogant, uncultured and disrespectful nature.

It would be best if she could get so angry that she ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to allow her to enter the Eastern Palace.

So when the two men pulled her quilt again, she took the opportunity to get angry, yelled and scolded them to go out, locked the door from the inside, and fell into a deep sleep.

During this period, the nanny came to Jiang Wanwan's yard several times, and the door of her boudoir was knocked loudly.

Shen Ningzhu turned over and continued to sleep without paying any attention.

Not long after, Zhiyuan's panicked voice came from outside the door, "Miss, it's bad, the Crown Prince is here, and he's coming this way now!"
