Chapter 623 Farce (4)

"How can you be blamed for this?" Old Madam Shen sighed, her tone suddenly becoming unhappy: "It's all because of this third girl. Following that bitch Wan, she learned these shameful things!" She then complained to Chen Ruoqiu: "If you were more serious about your work, you wouldn't have let the third girl take advantage of you!"

Chen Ruoqiu was already filled with anger over the matter of Shen Yue, feeling wronged and heartbroken. Now being scolded by Old Madam Shen, she retorted, "How can you blame me, mother? I never thought Third Sister would harbor such thoughts. It's foolish of you to blame me for this, mother."

"You said I was confused?" Old Madam Shen was furious.

Chen Ruoqiu was about to speak, but Shen Wan shouted, "Enough!" She was slightly stunned. In all these years, Shen Wan had never said a harsh word to her. This was the first time he yelled at her. Shen Wan said, "Yuer, come back to my room with me!"

Chen Yue responded hesitantly.

Chang Zaiqing on the side saw this scene and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

Shen Yue followed Shen Wan back to her room. Shen Wan stood with his back to her, silent. Shen Yue assumed he was upset about the Wang family's situation. Thinking about the Wang family's attitude today, and considering that Shen Dongling might have won their favor and was currently using her status to gain favor, Shen Yue was extremely dissatisfied. She said, "Dad, those Wang family members are clearly bullying and don't take you seriously. What are you talking about today? If Third Sister lives under my status in the future, what should I do? Third Sister stole my marriage, and now she's trying to steal my status. Dad, you can't just ignore me."

Shen Yue's words seemed like a matter of course. Perhaps because she had told so many lies, she had started to believe them. She was almost convinced that this was all Shen Dongling's fault, that Shen Dongling had secretly harmed her.

“She stole your marriage?” Without looking back, Shen Wan asked slowly.

Shen Yue didn’t notice anything wrong with Shen Wan’s tone, and nodded: “That’s right!”

A crisp slap landed on Shen Yue's face.

Chen Ruoqiu, who had just followed, saw this scene when he entered the room. He exclaimed "Yuer" and stepped forward to hug Shen Yue, then yelled at Shen Wan, "What are you doing?"

“What did I do?” Shen Wan laughed instead of getting angry: “Why don’t you ask your good daughter what she did?”

Shen Yue covered her face with her hands while her body couldn't help but tremble. Although the slap marks on her face were painful, they were nothing compared to the fear in her heart.

"Yu'er, how dare you say you knew nothing about this? Was it really Shen Dongling who ruined your marriage? Do you really think you can hide your cunning thoughts from everyone? You asked Shen Dongling to marry you, and you only wanted to marry Prince Ding. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you offended me, your father from the Wang family? Without this marriage, how will you get married in the future? I, Shen Wan, am so lucky to have such a smart and good daughter like you! I am truly blessed in my previous life!"

Shen Wan was originally a civil official, and he was not bad looking. He was usually gentle and elegant, and he had always loved Shen Yue very much. This was the first time he showed such a ferocious look to Shen Yue.

Chen Ruoqiu trembled as he looked at Shen Yue in his arms and asked, "Yuer, is what your father said true?"

"I, I just want to be free." Shen Yue whispered fearfully. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up. "But Shen Dongling also seduced me. The Wang family's current attitude towards us is clearly instigated by Shen Dongling. It's all because of that bitch Shen Dongling!"

"Shut up!" Shen Wan grew angrier as he listened. "You're stupid and yet you blame others. All the books you've read have gone to waste!"

Having never encountered such a ferocious Shen Wan, Shen Yue's eyes immediately turned red with grievance. Chen Ruoqiu closed her eyes in despair after hearing Shen Yue admit that she was the one who wanted to exchange marriages. She had never expected Shen Yue to be so bold as to dare to do such a thing. But Shen Yue was, after all, the daughter who had crawled out of her belly, and she had carefully raised her for so many years. Chen Ruoqiu only had such a daughter. After hearing Shen Wan's accusations, she couldn't help but say, "Yuer is certainly wrong, but she is also ignorant. I think what Yueer said is right. Shen Dongling was clearly deliberately seducing Yueer. I'm afraid this was all Shen Dongling's plan."
