Chapter 23 Worthy of being the heroine
Her daughter Xiao Haitang was obviously still a virgin, but she had been deflowered by Zhaoyao. All kinds of rumors came one after another and could not be stopped at all.
Usually there are very few people visiting that clinic, but last night it was packed with people.
I don’t know who the black-hearted Zhao Yao is. Once she finds out, she will definitely not let him go easily.
Shen Yuanhong sneered.
It was like a knife stabbing me in the butt—it really opened my eyes.
Look, this unreasonable behavior is simply Mrs. Su’s unique skill!
Shen Yuanhong, with a face as thick as her years, took two deep breaths and continued, "Could it be that it was the Duke of this country who sent Miss Su to Baihua Tower? And he wants me to seek justice for her?"
"As the daughter of a high-ranking official, a lady from a prominent family, she disguised herself as a man and went to a brothel. People who didn't know the truth would think the daughter of the high-ranking official liked that kind of place!"
He's crazy, let him come out to clarify the rumors and defend himself.
He wished he could vent his anger for Mu'er and Qingyi.
"you--"
Madam Shen was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet. Looking at this face, she wanted to slap him.
"What do you mean by liking that place of brothels and willow alleys?"
A dog can’t spit out ivory!
This old guy actually mocked Xiao Haitang for liking that place and wanted to seduce men like those courtesans!
"My Lord, please be mindful of your words!"
"Haitang is young and ignorant..." The anger in Su Taiwei's heart had reached a point where it was difficult to control.
"You're already an adult, yet you're still young." Shen Yuanhong sneered, his voice suddenly rising: "Men of this age are already fighting on the battlefield. Being young is no excuse for making mistakes!!!"
Then, Shen Yuanhong took out a red invitation from his sleeve and threw it on the table. His face was as gloomy as water as he looked at General Su:
"This is your daughter's engagement letter. Could you please bring Mu'er's engagement letter? This marriage is beyond the reach of our Shen family!"
"From now on, all matters concerning the Su family have nothing to do with the Shen Mansion. You two don't need to say that the Duke of this country is giving you a cold shoulder!"
The Su family and their husband's heads buzzed.
Mrs. Su trembled violently, as if struck by lightning, and looked at Shen Yuanhong in disbelief.
After a moment, Madam Su reacted and pointed at him angrily: "You want to cancel the engagement?"
Although she had long disliked Chen Mu, thinking that he was not worthy of her daughter due to his disabled legs, and had been thinking about how to cancel the engagement all day long, she felt that it was a great honor for her ancestors that his disabled son could marry her daughter!
I never thought that they would actually propose to cancel the engagement!
If Xiao Haitang were to call off the engagement at this time, what would she do? Wouldn't this just confirm the rumors?
With the Duke's Mansion helping to explain, everyone just laughed at the joke for a few days and forgot about it after a while.
Now……
If the engagement is cancelled, how can Xiao Haitang stop the gossips?
Isn’t it just like the smelly salted fish in the vegetable market, which everyone despises?
Who would dare to marry her in the future?
no!
This marriage must not be cancelled!
"We can't cancel the engagement now. How about waiting for some peace time before cancelling it?"
Mrs. Su took a few deep breaths, smiled stiffly, and lost her previous dominance. Her tone suddenly softened.
"This marriage cannot be cancelled now!"
General Su's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, yet so bright that it could almost reflect light.
At this moment, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Shen Yuanhong, you old bastard who takes advantage of others’ misfortune!
"Although you and I have always been at odds, Haitang is innocent. What will she do if we cancel the engagement now?"
Shen Yuanhong sneered, unmoved: "No matter what you say, this marriage must be cancelled today!"
"If you don't agree, then I will unilaterally announce the cancellation of this marriage. If things get ugly, I'm afraid it won't be the Shen family that will be embarrassed!"
After saying this, Shen Yuanhong didn't want to say another word to them and turned around and left.
Don't think he doesn't know that the two members of the Su family have long disliked Chen Mu's disabled legs and tried every means to cancel the engagement. If it weren't for this incident with their daughter, it would be their Shen family that would be waiting to be canceled!
He would never be so kind as to forgive someone who cursed their Mu'er behind his back and despised their Mu'er!
"Uncle Shen~"
Suddenly, a clear female voice was heard. Shen Yuanhong paused and looked sideways.
Then I saw a woman in white walking towards me.
Perhaps the effect of the medicine was too strong, and he had been tossing and turning all night, so his face did not look very good at this time, but there was a bit of stubbornness in his demeanor.
"how?"
Shen Yuanhong looked at the woman in front of him with a deep gaze.
Looking at her like this, she was just an ordinary woman. He found it hard to believe that such a woman could have such cruel and vicious means to kill the Shen family tragically!
"You want to rest? Why did you run out?"
Madam Shen walked forward distressedly.
Su Haitang ignored Mrs. Su and looked at the tall and majestic man in front of her with a firm gaze.
Is this the heroine’s father, Duke Shen?
It is just as described in the book, stunning and really handsome!
Before meeting Shen Yuanhong, she thought the author was exaggerating. How handsome could a man in his late forties be?
Has the author never seen a handsome guy?
I didn't expect that when I saw him today, I would be slapped in the face.
So cool!
The man in front of him was strong and sturdy, with a angular face and a hormone-rich aura all over his body.
With his proud attitude, he looks like a tyrant.
Simply handsome and charming.
"If there is nothing else, then this duke will leave."
Shen Yuanhong frowned, leaving a deep wrinkle between his brows. The outline of his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, deep and sharp, oppressing people to the point of suffocation.
"Why are you so fierce? You scared my little Haitang!"
Mrs. Su was a protective person. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Su Haitang to protect him.
However, Su Haitang did not appreciate it.
She walked up to Madam Su and said softly, "Mom, don't say anything. I have something to say to Uncle Shen."
Mrs. Su moved her lips, but finally closed her mouth.
"Uncle Shen, do you really want to cancel the engagement?"
Shen Yuanhong pursed his lips, "Yes!"
The answer without hesitation made Su Haitang clench her fists, and she felt unwilling and angry.
She never thought that the Shen family would come to cancel the engagement.
This plot is not in the original book.
On the contrary, the original owner was unwilling to marry Chen Mu.
Could it be that she traveled through time and her actions last night caused a butterfly effect, which ultimately ruined the plot?
"Okay, then retreat."
Su Haitang spoke.
"Haitang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Su was anxious.
If the engagement is really cancelled, what should Xiao Haitang do?
Su Haitang smiled bitterly: "Mom, they have come to cancel the engagement, so we don't have to insist. It's just that Master Shen and I are not destined to be together."
After she finished speaking, she looked straight at Shen Yuanhong: "I just hope Uncle Shen doesn't regret it."
"Xiaoju, bring the engagement letter from my room and return it to Duke Shen."
The words were spoken neither humbly nor arrogantly, but in a powerful and resonant manner.
Although the Su couple felt sorry for their daughter, they also supported her decision.
These words made Shen Yuanhong fall silent.
If it were the Su Haitang of the past, she would definitely cry or throw a tantrum, curse loudly, and say something like she didn't want to get married a long time ago.
