"Father, where are you and mother going? Don't you want Peifang anymore?" Shen Peifang came out of the teahouse in a good mood, and during the trip she also went to Jinlou to buy some hair accessories.
Thinking of the Duke's Mansion that was about to be in her pocket, she couldn't contain her joy.
After enduring and pretending to be good and clever for so many years, I finally don’t have to care about other people’s feelings anymore and don’t have to suffer any more.
Shen Tingyun, that bitch, finally didn't disappear! Feng Jingran, that annoying guy, finally moved away.
After her people deal with Feng Jing, Chen Xuyang will no longer be indecisive!
Without Feng Jingran, Chen Xuyang will definitely discover her good qualities and their relationship will definitely return to what it was before.
Before, she didn't want Chen Xuyang, but now she does, so he must be hers.
If there were obstacles, she would remove them.
At that time, she would ask the Queen Mother to grant the marriage, and Chen Xuyang would be hers.
She never failed to get what she wanted.
Just like when she was a child, she was successfully adopted by Duke Shen and his wife, and successfully became the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
Successfully get rid of that sickly Shen Tingyun. With her in the Duke's Mansion, there is no need for her, Shen Tingyun, to exist.
As the saying goes, if you have Yu, why do you have Liang? Duke Shen’s mansion can only have one legitimate daughter, and that is her, Shen Peifang.
She also successfully alienated Chen Xuyang and Feng Jingran. The Yongyi Marquis's Mansion didn't even have a child. Since the prince was hers, how could she allow the child to follow him?
She just used a little trick to make Feng Jingran give up everything and take only the child.
By then, the Duke's Mansion will be hers, the Marquis of Yongyi's Mansion will be hers, and Chen Xuyang will also be hers.
When she completes the task assigned by the Empress, she will be the most noble lady in the capital, and will be granted an imperial decree and enjoy a lifetime of honor and favor.
Whenever she thought of the upcoming honor and favor, she would happily think... wait a little longer, wait a little longer, be patient, there are still a few steps to go.
She returned to the Duke's Mansion with joy, but she saw the carriage in front of the Duke's Mansion and saw Duke Shen carrying things onto the carriage.
Shen Peifang shuddered, feeling uneasy. She also saw Duke Shen carrying the Duke's wife into the carriage.
She stretched out her hands and twisted her waist several times, the pain making her eyes mist up. She choked and walked forward to ask.
Duke Shen looked at Shen Peifang, who was about to cry, and saw the pitiful pain and helpless accusations on her face. He felt that he was a scumbag father who abandoned his daughter.
If Duke Shen didn't know that she had a vicious heart beneath her kind face, he might be fooled by her superb acting skills again, and then in order to make her happy, he would give her shops, fields, and rare treasures to make her happy.
Acting?
It's not that she has to do it.
Duke Shen had a sad look on his face, his lips trembled, and the hand holding the Duke's wife was shaking violently.
Only then did Shen Peifang "see" the Duke's wife in Duke Shen's arms. She was unconscious, pale, and breathing weakly.
Shen Peifang covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. "Father, what happened to mother? I saw her before I left, and she was fine. Why did she suddenly..."
Looks like he's about to die.
It’s best to die immediately.
Duke Shen saw the fleeting viciousness in Shen Peifang's eyes. It turned out that as long as he paid a little attention, he could discover her cruelty!
Duke Shen closed his eyes, suppressing the rage in them. When he opened them again, his mind was clear. "I heard that the miracle doctor my husband has been looking for lives in Qingyuan Temple. I want to take your mother to see him. I'll also go to Qingyuan Temple to pray for you and Tingyun, hoping that the child will be safe and healthy."
"Your mother has always believed in Qingyuan Temple. She will stay in the temple for a while. Surrounded by the Buddha, perhaps her illness will be cured."
Shen Peifang looked very worried, "Then father, wait for me. I will go back and pack some clothes and go to Qingyuan Temple with mother to serve her."
After Shen Peifang finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and was about to enter the Duke's Mansion, but was stopped by Duke Shen, "Your mother and I have left, who will take care of the mansion?"
"You've always been the one handling all the social interactions. Besides, aren't you supposed to be accompanying the Queen in the palace the day after tomorrow? You can't go with us, or you'll be charged with deceiving the emperor, a heinous crime that will punish all of your clan."
"I'll just go with your mother. I'll come back when her condition stabilizes. Your mother is recuperating at Qingyuan Temple."
Chen Peifang was seen biting her lips, looking very embarrassed. Finally, after being persuaded by Duke Shen and struggling for a while, she finally "agreed" to Duke Shen's suggestion.
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve at the same time. Mother, I have troubled you, father. When I am free here, I will definitely go to Qingyuan Temple to take care of you."
Duke Shen nodded with relief, "Your husband knows that you are a filial and good child. If Tingyun is half as sensible as you, then..."
Duke Shen sighed and left in the carriage.
Shen Peifang looked at the carriage going away, and the sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth finally couldn't help but show up.
Just when I was worried about not having the opportunity, I didn't expect Duke Shen to bring the opportunity to me.
After Shen Peifang entered the boudoir, a masked man suddenly appeared and knelt in front of her, "Master, please give me your orders."
The masked man in black is the secret guard given to her by the queen. He obeys her orders, serves her, and protects her safety.
"Go tell the Queen that the purge plan can begin."
The masked man in black disappeared after receiving the order.
Shen Peifang came to the warehouse and looked at the dazzling array of rare treasures with a greedy smile.
Then came an extremely arrogant laugh.
Now that you've left the Duke's Mansion, there's no need to come back.
From this moment on, everything in the Duke's Mansion belongs to her.
From then on, no one could scold her at will, she no longer had to rely on others, and she no longer had to be cautious and try to please others.
She could finally take control of her own destiny.
The Duke's Mansion only has her as a legitimate daughter, so why does it need another Shen Tingyun to take away what she deserves?
It was all Duke Shen and his wife's fault.
It was the couple who broke their vows, so don't blame her for being cruel.

Dali Temple.
"Interesting, the chess piece finally made its move." Dali Temple Minister Deng Weiping threw the secret letter into the brazier.
If they don't take action, it will be a waste of the opportunity he gave them.
"Give the order and take advantage of the situation."
The leader said that the more chaotic the capital was, the better, and that he wanted to stir up the people's dissatisfaction with Emperor Xuantong and use public opinion warfare to make Emperor Xuantong suffer the consequences.
"Minister of Justice, how is the situation with the Marquis of Yongyi?"
"Already in position, just waiting for orders."
Deng Weiping handed the letter to the secret guard and said, "Copy this thing. I want to see it on every street tomorrow morning, spread all over the capital."
"Yes, I will complete the task."
After the secret guard left, Deng Weiping wrote something furiously, "Pavilion Master, we are already in place."
The Pavilion Master has also made preparations. By then, he will take two approaches at the same time. Emperor Xuantong will have no time to take care of it, and the change of ownership of Dai Viet will not necessarily involve rivers of bloodshed.
Not every change of kings would result in rivers of blood. The Pavilion Master's plan is so meticulous and ingenious that it will surely complete the change of ownership with minimal damage.
