Shen Jiaojiao was his biological daughter, and Shen Ruyi was a fake. Even if he favored Shen Jiaojiao, what was wrong with that? He was merciful by not taking back everything Shen Ruyi had eaten, used, and spent in his house over the years!
But unfortunately, Shen Ruyi can't leave now.
He couldn't tell the truth and could only bear the blame for being biased and swallow his anger.
Shen Cangyun clenched his fists, his whole body trembling, but he couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while.
After all, no one expected that Shen Ruyi came to cancel the engagement!
Besides, how well did she behave before?
They thought she had changed her personality, but it turned out that she was so cunning that she could actually coax them into submission, making them rush to lick her and forget to be on guard.
They waited until today, and then turned against us, leaving them no room to respond. What a good plan and scheming!
Shen Cangyun stared at Shen Ruyi, wishing he could grind her into dust.
Shen Ruyi had long been numb.
I don't care anymore.
After all, this so-called fatherly love, in his previous life, when he watched her being tortured to death by several young masters of the Shen family, he didn't even blink an eye, and even said that it was a blessing for Shen Jiaojiao to be able to die for her.
This blessing is available to anyone who wants it.
Shen Ruyi turned her head and looked at Gu Qinghua on the side. "Gu Qinghua, do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Qinghua was speechless.
After being caught by Mu Rushuang that night, he deliberately went to look for Shen Ruyi. He felt relieved only after he failed to see Mu Rushuang in Xifeng Courtyard. However, he didn't expect that they were waiting here!
Now that things have come to this, what can he say?
I just felt so ashamed that I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and run away.
Shen Yuewan was enraged by Shen Ruyi's aggressive look. Seeing her son being bullied like this, she lost her basic rationality and said without thinking: "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Qinghua is the eldest son of our Gu family and bears the responsibility of expanding the Gu family. In the future, I will always have to take concubines. You are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you have no tolerance at all..."
"If that's the case, why didn't you make it clear in the marriage certificate?" Shen Ruyi interrupted her, "Back then, why did your old lady insist on writing 'a couple for life'? Why did she insist on asking people to be loyal?"
“…”
Shen Yuewan froze. She was so angry that she forgot about this matter!
Just as he was thinking about how to defend himself, he was interrupted by Shen Ruyi.
"Oh, that's right!"
She sneered, glanced at Shen Cangyun and said, "I was eight years old that year, and my father happened to be promoted to Prime Minister, becoming a powerful official second only to the emperor. It was a time when the emperor favored him. Just as he was promoted, your old lady brought Gu Qinghua to propose marriage."
"When you were trying to establish a relationship with me, you said something so nice, but now you have forgotten it?"
These words directly slapped everyone in the Gu family in the face, and they added another stab, "Not only did you forget, you also discussed with the Prime Minister's Mansion and wanted Gu Qinghua to break off the engagement with me and marry Shen Jiaojiao."
"This year you allowed Shen Jiaojiao to bully me, killed my wet nurse, snatched my maid away, drove me out of my own residence, locked me up in Xifeng Courtyard, and in the middle of winter, you refused to deliver coal to my room and threw me into the woodshed."
Shen Ruyi touched the hairpin on her head and sneered, "If it weren't for this hairpin, I would have been thrown into the cellar by my good father and suffocated to death."
"Now, you're talking to me about being generous?"
Shen Cangyun was furious when he heard these words, "Shen Ruyi, don't be like a stray dog and make random comments everywhere!"
He was so angry that he finally slapped Shen Ruyi!
This gave Rong Yan a chance, and he slapped him with his backhand!
With a loud bang, Shen Cangyun was hit by a palm from the void. He took several steps back and slammed into the wall, spitting out blood.
Rong Yan's cold voice came from the front, "Prime Minister, you are so arrogant, whose face are you hitting?"
His gaze fell on Shen Cangyun's face, and it seemed to freeze everyone. Only his voice remained in the room, "I have seen the ability of the Shen family father and son to confuse right and wrong."
"The court has many complicated affairs. If your brain doesn't work well, it can be fatal. It seems that the court of Da Qi needs to be rectified. Letting a person who lacks basic judgment, is irritable and manic sit in the position of prime minister is not good for the country's destiny or the people."
"If I do something wrong, and the people think my father is a tyrant, that would be bad."
Calm and slow words came out of his mouth, without any sharpness, but there was no need to show any sharpness, as the palm strike just now was enough.
Shen Cangyun is the prime minister after all.
In such a huge court, the only one who dared to attack the prime minister was the emperor.
In addition, there is today’s Ninth Prince Rong Yan. This is not just a matter of martial arts strength, it is about courage, ambition, and deterrence.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed, and their eyes looking at the Ninth Prince became deep, complicated, and fearful.
The second prince and the third prince were both restless.
The prince frowned.
Everyone knows that the Ninth Prince is favored by his father, but few people know that he is skilled in martial arts and has such strong internal strength!
He even dared to attack Shen Cangyun directly for Shen Ruyi? Was he going to offend all the civil officials?
After all, Shen Cangyun is the head of the civil officials!
But Shen Cangyun did not dare to fight back, and he was even less able to fight back, because the Ninth Prince was still a prince after all, and if he fought back it would be considered disobedience. Besides, his internal strength was so strong that not everyone could fight back.
Shen Cangyun hit a wall, staring at the Ninth Prince with trembling eyes, and had to accept his fate, "I was reckless, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
As he said this, he slid to the ground and knelt down.
Shen Yu was also calmed down by this slap. If they really started fighting, he would be no match for the Ninth Prince.
No one else said anything, choosing to wait and see what would happen. The room fell into a rare silence.
Rong Yan...
From now on, everyone in this room will have to re-examine this disabled prince.
Only Shen Ruyi's heart was beating fast. She turned her head and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
He is a senior brother, but more than just a senior brother.
He is the man her heart is attracted to.
"You are my junior sister," Rong Yan half-squinted his eyes, a kind of majesty was revealed in his eyes, sweeping the whole audience, "You attacked my junior sister in front of me, or do others think that my Southern Shaolin Prajna Hall is easy to bully."
"No matter how bad the Prajna Hall is, it still produced an emperor."
"How can we allow people to be so presumptuous!"
There was a faint cold snort, but it revealed an aura that frightened the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and even the Crown Prince and Concubine Li.
The others didn't even dare to speak.
These words were like a bucket of cold water, sobering up everyone present.
Shen Ruyi is the successor of Prajna Hall.
The current emperor is the same!
The current emperor was young and weak, so he was sent to Southern Shaolin for care for three years. He practiced the Prajna Hall's mental methods, and only then did he get better little by little.
Southern Shaolin is where the emperor came from.
It's also his back.
Now, Shen Ruyi is the same.
In other words, Shen Ruyi is now, in a sense, the emperor's person. Although the emperor will not interfere directly, if she goes too far, she will definitely make the emperor angry.
Only Shen Yuewan didn't know the seriousness of the matter. She stared at Shen Ruyi and said, "Shen Ruyi, even if Qinghua did something wrong, you can just say it privately when canceling the engagement. Why did you have to come to my birthday party? In my opinion, you inherited the Bodhisattva's mantle, but you did the most vicious thing in the world!"
