Surprisingly, after Miss Liu's dramatic outburst of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide at the mansion, the former Right Chancellor finally relented and agreed to the marriage.
So Shen Wantong began preparing for the wedding in a great hurry, fearing that things might change and that the former Right Chancellor might turn his back on him.
Shen Wantong's wedding was kept secret even from his parents.
Even at the wedding, Shen Wantong remained the subject of ridicule.
But he endured all of this.
It was three months later when Mei Qingyue led Shen Yingying to the capital and found Shen Wantong.
In the living room of Shen Wantong's mansion in the capital, Shen Wantong and Miss Liu sat in the main seats.
At this time, Miss Liu was two months pregnant and was experiencing morning sickness.
Mei Qingyue stood in the middle of the living room, holding Shen Yingying in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Wantong, I never expected you to be this kind of person."
You made vows of eternal love to me back then, promising never to betray me. Were those vows false?
Shen Wantong felt a little guilty and didn't know how to answer Mei Qingyue.
Miss Liu sat to the side, and seeing her husband and his ex-wife exchanging glances, she felt extremely jealous.
So he interjected, "Don't blame Wantong. I was the one who took a liking to Wantong first. If you have a problem, come at me."
You...you all...
“Shen Wantong, things have come to this point. I won’t say any more. Give me and my daughter an explanation.”
Miss Liu touched the nail of her right index finger with her left hand.
"Hehe, what's there to explain? The fact that my Right Prime Minister's Mansion is giving you the position of a secondary wife is already an immense act of leniency."
You, stop being so dramatic.
If you wish to stay at the Shen residence, I will have the servants prepare a courtyard for you.
If you don't want to bring it, then please do so elsewhere.
Mei Qingyue came to the capital to visit Shen Wantong with great joy, wanting to give him a surprise.
In reality, however, Shen Wantong gave her a whole host of shocks.
Mei Qingyue fainted from anger after hearing what Miss Liu said.
If it weren't for Shen Wantong's quick thinking and ability to catch Mei Qingyue...
I'm afraid Shen Yingying in my arms will definitely fall to the ground.
And so, Miss Liu allocated a separate courtyard to Mei Qingyue.
However, Mei Qingyue could not accept the truth, and after waking up from her coma, she fell seriously ill.
While bedridden, Mei Qingyue felt guilty towards her parents and her youngest daughter.
And so she stayed in Shen Wantong's mansion without sending a single letter home to her parents.
Perhaps due to the pent-up emotions in her heart, Mei Qingyue's condition worsened, and she passed away less than half a year after arriving in the capital, leaving behind her daughter Shen Yingying, who was less than three years old at the time.
From then on, Shen Yingying lost her biological mother and, like a little cabbage, was frequently beaten and abused by Miss Liu.
Shen Yingying was like a nobody in the Shen family.
When Shen Wantong saw her, he was reminded of his impoverished past, and he disliked her even more.
This made Miss Liu even happier.
It's because she married into the Shen family, not as their first wife.
She vented all her resentment towards Shen Qingyue on Shen Yingying.
Little Shen Yingying was not even three years old when she started to have to read people's faces to get by. Every three days she had to go for a little tantrum, and every five days she had to get a tidying-up session. That was commonplace for her.
And so, Shen Yingying endured those precarious days until she turned sixteen.
But by this time, Shen Yingying had been abused to the point of being timid and had lost the liveliness and cheerfulness she had as a child.
How did Shen Yingying manage to marry the War King? It was all thanks to her half-sister.
Originally, the Emperor decreed that Shen Yingying's "good sister" Shen Yuehe should marry into the Zhan Prince's mansion.
But how could Chen Yue, who was playing tricks on the current crown prince, possibly marry into the War King's mansion?
