Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Aniu, who was standing by, stepped forward to open the door. He looked at the aggressive group of people outside and could not help but frowned.
"Who are you looking for?"
The noble lady in the lead was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with gold and silver hairpins adorning her hair and emerald rings on her ten fingers. She held her chin high and never glanced at him from beginning to end. She forcefully pushed him away and rushed inside.
"Hey, ma'am, what are you doing? Breaking into someone's house is illegal."
"Is it illegal?" An old woman who was dressed a little worse for wear rushed forward from behind and pushed Chen Aniu, causing him to stagger.
"It's only natural for me to go back to my daughter's home. What law am I breaking?"
"Oh, Chen Ningzhu, you've become so capable that you actually had your sister sent to Wanfo Temple to practice Buddhism with her hair uncut. The temple is so austere, and you're trying to kill her!"
"Xue'er's biological parents are here today. You, a loser, why don't you hurry over here, kneel down and apologize to the Minister and his wife, then go to your sister and beg for her forgiveness and invite her back home?"
Jiang Wanwan still looked dignified, but her eyes no longer had the gentleness and grace of the past.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Ningzhu was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, extremely cold.
The tone was cold without a trace of warmth.
"My Shen family has worked so hard to pamper you for over a decade, but in the end, you repay us with ingratitude."
“Chen Ningzhu, why are you so cruel?”
What sin did the Shen family commit? They raised someone else's child for fifteen years in vain, but let their own flesh and blood suffer in the countryside.
Now, her Xue'er finally returned to them, but she didn't enjoy a single day of happiness. She was framed and plotted against in various ways, and finally, she was sent to a temple.
"My poor son, what did you do wrong in your previous life? Why is your life so miserable? Wuwuwu~~~~"
Chen Ningzhu:???
What's going on? She just came back, and the ground beneath her feet hasn't even warmed up yet, and she's already trying to scam me?
"lady……"
The Shangshu Lord Shen Yu beside him interrupted the other party, looked at his wife majestically, and then said lightly,
"Zhuzhu, I know you're resentful of me for kicking you out of the house, but it's all my fault as the head of the family. I failed to fulfill my responsibility in managing the harem."
"If you want to blame someone, blame me. Xue'er... is still young, and if she spends her prime years in the temple, her life will be completely ruined."
"So, I came here today to ask you to show some mercy and let her go. I will bear all the blame for her crime. Is that okay with you?"
Shen Chenyi pursed his lips and stepped forward.
"Zhuzhu, Xue'er and I are both my sisters. Big Brother doesn't want to see you killing each other. Do you understand Big Brother's good intentions?"
Shen Chenxi frowned and said unhappily,
"Brother, why are you telling her all this? She has changed a long time ago. She has become hateful and vicious. How can she still be the sweet and sweet Zhuzhu she used to be?"
"That's right, Chen Ningzhu, how could I have given birth to a daughter as heartless and ruthless as you? If I had known this would happen, I should have given you my life the moment you were born..."
"That's enough."
Liu Zhiyi roared angrily and stood in front of Shen Ningzhu, his chest heaving up and down with anger.
He smiled coldly at the few people, his tone full of gloom.
"I thought you would be sensible, but I never thought you would dare to come to my door."
If they want to use moral blackmail and pick on the weak, they will be disappointed.
Because whether it's me or Zhuzhu, we are never easy to mess with, so naturally we won't fall for their tricks.
"Chen Ningxue's current situation is entirely her own fault. Three years of seclusion is already a bargain for her."
Chen Ningzhu also said firmly,
"Xiaoyi is right."
Although she was still confused, she could probably guess that what they were talking about was related to Liu Zhiyi.
Since it was done by her best friend, she must have her reasons. As a best friend, she naturally would not turn her elbow outward and ruin her plan at this time.
"You...you...evil daughter, oh my god, please open your eyes and take a look. What sin did I, Zhao Meihua, commit to give birth to such a vicious and cruel daughter? If I had known this, I...I would have killed myself to prevent her from harming good people."
Zhao Meihua sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs with her hands, and cried with her mouth wide open.
The crying was earth-shattering.
Shen Ningzhu couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, her forehead hurt because of her noise, and she sighed in her heart.
No wonder people say that even if he wears the dragon robe, he doesn’t look like a prince. This is so true.
Is this the shy and weak peasant woman from before?
Even though she took off her patched coarse linen clothes and put on a brand new bright cotton dress, her every move, coupled with her iconic cry,
You don't have to guess to know that she is an unreasonable rural woman.
I can't stop feeling cold in my heart.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. You've changed a lot."
"You don't want to give birth to me? Then who do you want to give birth to? Shen Ningxue?"
Shen Ningzhu sneered coldly, looking up and down at Zhao Meihua, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with undisguised contempt in her exquisite fox eyes.
The angry other party pointed at her and kept cursing at her for a long time, almost fainting from anger.
"Zhuzhu..."
Shen Chenyi frowned and called her very unhappily, with an obvious warning in his tone.
Over the years, Chen Ningzhu's motion sickness problem has not changed.
She was drowsy all the way back to the capital, and now that she finally arrived, she just wanted to lie in bed and sleep for ten days or half a month.
Her patience with these uninvited guests had run out.
The little family affection they had to begin with was completely wiped out by the few words exchanged just now.
Now he was unwilling to say a word to them, and just pointed at the door coldly and said,
"Get out, you are not welcome here."
Shen Yu had been an official for many years, but he had never been humiliated like this. His face turned gloomy, and all his official power was immediately released.
At first glance, it's quite intimidating.
But the two best friends are no longer the same as before, so they are naturally not afraid of him. Instead, they look at him without fear.
"Chen Ningzhu, I advise you to be more sensible. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have become the prime minister."
"Don't forget, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has now ascended the throne. Three years ago, you ran away for no reason. Do you think he will let this matter go?"
Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up.
"Master is right."
"You don't know yet, do you? The Emperor has had another woman for many years, and she gave birth to a pair of beautiful and intelligent twins, a boy and a girl, who were named the Crown Prince and the Grand Princess."
"He has no feelings for you at all. If you want to use the same trick again and charm him into forgiving you, that's impossible."
"Because from what I know, the Emperor has a deep affection for the Crown Prince and Princess' biological mother, the kind that he's willing to sacrifice his life for her. You, you don't have any chance anymore."
"So, if you're sensible, you'll know what to do. Go and persuade the Prime Minister to forgive Xue'er and let her return to the capital."
