Chapter 506 Why did Liao Youhe change so much when it was her turn?

"How dare you divorce your wife?!"

Madam Qi was so angry that her chest felt like it was going to explode, and her voice cracked as she spoke: "You eat our food, use our things, and live in our house, and now you've brought your whole family here to freeload. You're poor, stingy, and shameless!"

"You're just a freeloader, what right do you have to talk about divorcing me? If it weren't for my daughter valuing you and insisting that I let you stay at home, your whole family would be sleeping on the streets!"

"It should be my daughter who divorced you! My daughter, from the Shen family, is sought after by many. Without you, she would be living a life many times better than she is now!"

Liao Youhe sneered: "I'm not a gigolo. Is Madam Shen insulting me or your daughter? I originally didn't agree to live in the Shen family. It was Shen Mingxuan who insisted on coming back. She begged me to stay in the Shen family! She only knows how to enjoy herself and can't share my joys and sorrows at all!"

“My daughter has never suffered before, why should she suffer with you?”

"Since she can't stand hardship, why did she marry me? Don't you know what my family's situation was like before she married me? I've never hidden my family's poverty, and that's not a disgrace. On the contrary, it's your daughter's spoiled upbringing and numerous bad tempers that are the disgrace!"

"Do you think I wanted my daughter to marry you? This marriage was originally intended for Shen Wantang, the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family. My daughter is the legitimate daughter. Do you think a pretty boy like you is good enough for her?!"

Liao Youhe was taken aback, and he involuntarily turned to look at Shen Wantang.

The rest of the Liao family members also turned their heads in unison, all their eyes falling on Shen Wantang.

Because she was observing mourning for her husband, she wore a plain dress, no makeup, and no jewelry.

But standing there, she exuded an air of refined elegance and graceful bearing.

The Liao family members were all surprisingly in agreement at this moment: If they had married Shen Wantang back then, would things be as chaotic as they are now? Would their Liao family already be living a good life?

As they stood there in a daze, Shen Wantang spoke up calmly: "Madam, don't make up stories. When was I betrothed to the Liao family? I've always been betrothed to the Ning Prince's Mansion, and it was the Ning Princess herself who made the betrothal. My mother-in-law told me this herself. Could it be that she's lying to me? Or is it that Madam is lying to the Liao family?"

Qi's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but then she swallowed her words.

Originally, the person Ning Wangfu had chosen was indeed Shen Wantang, but she went to great lengths to switch the marriage to her own daughter.

But later, her daughter insisted on marrying Liao Youhe, and she had no choice but to switch back.

If Princess Ning found out that she had been interfering and playing tricks on her, the Shen family would be in big trouble. So this matter had to be kept to herself and could not be discussed any further.

However, she couldn't talk about this, but she could talk about other things.

She said sarcastically, "Why did you come back at this time, Second Miss? It's so unlucky! Why aren't you at home observing mourning for the young master? Why are you running around? You're just like before, a restless person. Whoever marries you will be in big trouble!"

Shen Wantang said coldly, "I think you're quite unlucky, and your daughter is quite unlucky too. Otherwise, why would I have witnessed such a big show as soon as I arrived today? Beating your in-laws and their children like this, you're the only one in the whole capital who has done it. You've become a laughing stock, which is quite a sight."

Qi glared at her angrily: "You are the culprit in this matter! If you hadn't sown discord in front of Liao Youhe's mother, why would she be making a fuss about her son getting a divorce? If she hadn't made a fuss about a divorce, would I have had someone attack her?"

"You're such an ingrate! I raised you like my own daughter, and my daughter treats you like her own sister. How could you treat her like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution?!"

Shen Wantang said calmly, "I thought it was because I saw my sister and brother-in-law arguing all the time that I wanted them to get a divorce. You said it yourself, there are plenty of people outside who want my sister. If that's the case, why don't they get a divorce?"

Madam Qi was so angry that her forehead throbbed. Of course, she wanted her daughter to divorce, but her daughter refused no matter what. Every day, she said that things would be better after these two years. She said that Liao Youhe would rise to prominence in the future and become the emperor's right-hand man, deeply trusted by the emperor. At that time, she would become the enviable Lady Liao in the capital.

She turned to her daughter and said, "Xuanxuan, things have come to this, so let's get a divorce from Liao Youhe! Don't worry, after the divorce, I'll find you someone better, a thousand times better than him!"

"No, I won't get a divorce!"

Shen Mingxuan gritted her teeth, stepped forward and hugged Liao Youhe's arm without saying a word: "I want to spend my whole life with Youhe! No one is better than Youhe. I don't like anyone else. I only like him!"

Qi's vision went black: "You!! How can you still be so stubborn? Are you trying to drive me crazy!"

Liao Youhe, with a cold face, disgustedly pulled his arm away from Shen Mingxuan's hand: "Shen Mingxuan, stop pretending. You don't like me at all. What you care about is my future career!"

Shen Mingxuan saw the disgust in his eyes, and she panicked. She hurriedly explained, "No, I like you for who you are. Career prospects are not important at all!"

Liao Youhe sneered: "You're stupid, but do you think I'm stupid too? Do you think I can't see what you're after? Stop acting, it's disgusting! Besides, I don't like you either. We hate each other, so let's just get a divorce and be done with it!"

A look of despair crossed Shen Mingxuan's face as she couldn't help but glance at Shen Wantang.

She didn't understand how Shen Wantang managed to win Liao Youhe's favor and protection in her previous life. Why did Liao Youhe always look at her with disgust and disdain?

She clearly remembered the way Liao Youhe looked at Shen Wantang in her previous life: concern, heartache, respect, and even a hint of cautious flattery.

Every time Shen Wantang returned to the Shen family, Liao Youhe would always accompany her. If anyone in the Shen family raised their voice even slightly to Shen Wantang, Liao Youhe would coldly reprimand them on Shen Wantang's behalf, never allowing Shen Wantang to suffer the slightest grievance.

No matter how high his official rank was, or how powerful he was outside, he was always humble in front of Shen Wantang.

The seventh princess cried and begged to marry him, but he ignored her completely. He would rather defy the imperial decree than divorce his wife.

When the Seventh Princess harassed Shen Wantang in the street and tried to whip her, Liao Youhe stood in front of her. He would rather be beaten himself than let Shen Wantang suffer any injury.

Why is it that when it's her turn, Liao Youhe doesn't get the same treatment?

As Shen Mingxuan thought about it, she could no longer suppress the grievances deep in her heart, and sat on the ground, wailing and crying: "Why? Why did you do this to me?!"
