Chapter 76 What a huge face!
"What a huge face!" Old Master Chen couldn't help but exclaim, his tone full of amazement and disbelief.
Having lived most of his life and met countless people, this was the first time he had ever seen such a shameless person; the thickness of their skin was simply beyond imagination.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shan was so angry that his eyebrows almost reached the sky, and the veins on his forehead bulged as if they were about to explode.
He glared at Shanrou with exasperation and shouted angrily, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Not to mention that it's a banned drug, the Alchemist Guild has always been very strict in its management and would never sell it to the public!"
"You actually dare to try and get the patriarch to help you demand it? You're truly terminally ill and beyond saving!"
He had only suspected that Shanrou might be sick before, but now it seems that she really is sick!
Shanrou, however, completely disregarded the reactions of others. With her hands on her hips and her neck stiff, she shouted loudly, looking completely self-righteous, "How am I crazy? As her mother, what's so difficult about asking her to do something for me? It's simply her duty!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his whole body almost went numb, and he nearly lost his balance.
Is this what you call a trivial matter?
This is clearly pushing people into a fire pit; it's a deliberate attempt to ruin Shanxi!
"Shanxi is still your own daughter, how can you always think of harming her! Do you even have the behavior of a mother!" Old Master Shan was so angry that his lips twitched and his body trembled slightly.
He found Shanrou's words utterly absurd and could hardly believe his ears.
What kind of utter nonsense is this?
What kind of unreasonable demands are these?
She's probably really gone mad and lost her mind!
Shanrou dares to speak, but he doesn't dare to listen!
"Hmph, she brought this on herself! If she had been nicer to me and more filial, I wouldn't be trying to cut ties with her now."
Shanrou crossed her arms, adopting a magnanimous and forgiving demeanor, as if she had made a huge concession: "In short, as long as she gets me the banned drugs, I can forgive and forget all her past mistakes!"
Old Master Chen, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He frowned, his face full of disgust and helplessness.
He gently patted Old Master Shan on the shoulder, sighed deeply, and said, "You'd better take care of yourself. I really can't listen to this anymore."
He was truly afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would lose control of his impulse and kill Shan Rou with a single blow.
What kind of indecent and lewd words are these!
What sins did Ren Shanxi commit in his past life? Did he offend her or kill her entire family? Why is he suffering such torment from her in this life?
Old Master Shan felt a tightness in his chest, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.
He suppressed his anger, his gaze piercing as he stared at Shan Rou, his voice low yet authoritative: "Shan Rou, if you don't take back these absurd words today, don't ever set foot in the Shan family again!"
Shan Rou, however, showed no fear. Instead, she sneered, her eyes full of disdain: "If I don't want to step into this place, then I won't. I've long since given up on staying in this Shan family! Do you think I can't survive without the Shan family?"
Old Master Shan was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Shan Rou, but couldn't say a word for a moment.
He never imagined that his daughter would be so stubborn, willing to break with the family for the sake of that medicine.
Just then, Old Master Chen, who had already left, suddenly turned around and ran back: "Fine, fine, then stop trampling. Get as far away as you can. The family doesn't need a madman like you."
They've even started threatening them?
They couldn't be happier!
Old Master Shan nodded in agreement, a rare occurrence for him: "If you want to leave, I won't force you."
"From now on, we'll go our separate ways. Don't come looking for me again, and I won't bother you either."
"You be your kind wife, and I'll continue being my old master."
After Old Master Shan finished speaking, he suddenly felt relaxed all over, as if his whole body had become much lighter.
He even felt that if it weren't for Shanrou, that rebellious daughter, who was always making him angry, he might not have needed the youth-preserving pill that his great-grandmother had given him!
Shanrou didn't expect that her threats would be completely ineffective.
She stood there, stunned, staring at the kind old man before her, somewhat incredulous: "Father, are you crazy? You really want to sever ties with me?"
"Didn't you want to sever ties with us? I'll grant your wish!" Old Master Shan said, putting on an air of great righteousness.
"Alright, stop wasting your breath on her. Close the door. From now on, close it every time she comes, and kick her out every time she comes twice!" Old Master Chen waved his hand impatiently.
He's too busy to deal with that lunatic Shanrou!
Old Master Shan nodded and looked at the servant, saying, "Did you all hear Steward Chen's instructions? From now on, if you see her coming, stop her at the door. If she dares to lay a hand on you, report her to the authorities immediately!"
Old Master Shan deliberately said these words in front of Shan Rou.
Upon hearing this, Shanrou's face instantly filled with disbelief, as if she had been struck by lightning.
She never expected that such heartless words would come from her own father.
She was extremely anxious and wanted to chase after him to stop him, but before she could do anything, the servant slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Shanrou pounded on the door and shouted at the top of her lungs.
She never imagined that her own father would be so ruthless in turning her away!
Back in the backyard, Old Master Chen briefly recounted how Shan Rou had come to cause trouble again.
Upon learning that Shan Rou had come seeking banned drugs, Shan Xi smiled and said, "The fish has taken the bait."
"Spread the word that the banned drugs are being sold on the black market. Make sure they all know that they are available on the black market!"
Old Master Chen's mind worked in a flash, and in just a moment, he understood Shanxi's intention.
"Miss is truly exceptionally intelligent!" Old Master Chen couldn't help but give Shanxi a thumbs up.
Miss, your tactic of luring the snake out of its hole is brilliant!
Once the news of the black market sale of banned drugs spreads, the Southern Dynasty's crown prince, who failed to purchase the drugs, will surely mistakenly believe that the Jun Dynasty's crown prince preemptively bought them.
The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty and Shan Yurou, who also failed to purchase the banned drug, would inevitably suspect that it was the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty who was behind it.
Once the two sides start to distrust and fight each other, and become desperate, what insidious tricks won't they use?
Desperate, Shan Mingyuan and Shan Yurou might turn to the person behind the scenes who is controlling everything for help.
At that time, we can follow the clues and find out who is behind it all.
Shanrou was devastated and returned to the villa with unsteady steps and a dazed expression.
She was filled with disbelief and bitterness, never imagining that her own father would so resolutely abandon her like trash.
Inside the villa, the atmosphere was as oppressive as the low-lying clouds before a storm.
Shan Mingyuan and Shan Yurou sat in the hall with gloomy faces, like two cold statues.
Seeing Shanrou's distraught and desperate expression, they instantly understood—the matter had been ruined, and nothing had been accomplished!
In their eyes, Seon-yoo was a complete waste of space and utterly useless!
"How dare you come back?" Shan Yurou completely broke down, her eyes red and tears welling up in her eyes as if they would burst out at any moment.
She could no longer maintain her dignified image and roared at Shanrou with all her might, "Do you know that the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty has already bought the banned drugs! All our plans have been ruined because of you!"
