Chapter 1145 You Owe Me This

"Sister Lan" Wu's eyes became moist as soon as she saw Shen Qinglan.

After not seeing each other for three years, Shen Qinglan has become much thinner than before, with little blood color on his face. His pair of big, clear eyes are now sunken, and he doesn't look like he is living a good life.

Shen Qinglan was a little dazed when he suddenly saw Wu.

Compared to before exile, Wu now looks more energetic. If she were not really old, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is in high spirits.

How could this be? Are the Shen family's days in exile better than their days in the capital?

For a moment, Shen Qinglan felt a mixture of emotions and called out bitterly, "Mother, I hope you are all right."

Wu suddenly burst into tears, "My son! How could you become like this?"

She grabbed Shen Qinglan's hand and looked at her carefully with wide eyes.

But no matter how I look at it, my daughter doesn't seem to be living a good life.

Shen Qinglan's eyes were slightly red, but she always knew what she wanted. Her voice was a little cold, "I came here today to ask my mother for help."

"What's the matter?" Wu asked immediately, not knowing that the palace had issued an edict to the Rongguang Marquis' Mansion.

At this moment, she had already forgotten what Shen Qingqian had said before.

Shen Qinglan, however, was not going to be polite with her. He opened his mouth and told her the whole story. At the end, he said, "If mother can't help, I will have no choice but to go to Lingnan with the Liang family. No one can say for sure whether I will die on the road."

She spoke indifferently, and Wu felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she knew Sheng Ze very well. Since such an order was issued, it meant that the Liang family was indeed unfit to serve as officials in Beijing, and there might be other reasons. She did not dare to speak up easily.

"Sister Lan, listen to me, since you are back now, don't go back. Our family can support you. As for the Liang family, let's just ignore them, okay?" Mrs. Wu held Shen Qinglan's hand tightly.

Shen Qinglan's face turned cold when he heard this, and he pulled his hand away forcefully. "You really don't care whether I live or die! When my family suffered that day, did you think my life would be easy? The Liang family was also chosen by you for me! I don't care, you have to help me, you owe me this!"

"Big sister, you're going a bit too far," Shen Qingqian and her sisters happened to be outside the door. Upon hearing this, Shen Qingning was the first to rush in, frowning and looking at Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan turned around and saw Shen Qingqian and others, the anger and jealousy in his eyes almost overflowing.

How could the Shen family, even after being exiled, still raise their daughter to look even more pampered than the noble ladies in the capital?

And she, because of the Shen family's involvement, her husband took a concubine, her mother-in-law was displeased, and she endured day and night!

"But if you hadn't been exiled, if my grandfather hadn't chosen the wrong side, how could I have become what I am now?" Shen Qinglan asked loudly.

Shen Qingning was furious, but she was not good at arguing with others about these things. She just said "you" a few times and didn't say anything.

At this time, Shen Qingqian stepped forward and looked at Shen Qinglan calmly, "Big sister, have you ever thought about whether your current situation is really caused by us, your family members?"

Without waiting for Shen Qinglan to refute, Shen Qingqian continued, "The Shen family raised you with great care and pampering, and even pooled all their resources to prepare a dowry for you, marrying you into the Marquisate with such fanfare. You've enjoyed it all, living a life of luxury. When the family was in trouble, you avoided them, and now you're blaming Grandfather and Big Sister. How shameless of you!"

I've seen ungrateful wolves, but I've never seen such a self-righteous vampire!
