Qiu Yi stood in front of Chen Heng, but before she could ask a question, she was pulled away by the servant.
"Madam Chen." Qiu Yi wanted to call for help anxiously.
Shen Heng was calm: "Excuse me, Madam, which family is this from?"
The old nanny sneered: "Prince Ning's Mansion. Princess Ning wants to see Madam Shen."
Shen Heng's forehead twitched, and she was instantly confused about what to do. If not to the Shen family, why would she be the one to come? However, given the situation, she couldn't leave. She still said in a gentle voice, "Please lead the way, Ma'am."
Prince Ning's villa is very large and is divided into several small courtyards.
After many twists and turns, Chen Heng was brought into a rather exquisite courtyard, which had the flavor of Jiangnan gardens.
Princess Ning is less than forty years old and she has given birth to a daughter as beautiful as Liu Zhiyue. Naturally, she must be good-looking. She has taken good care of herself and is very charming. Today, with her face painted, she looks like the mistress of the house and is quite dignified.
When he met Chen Heng, he didn't say anything and went straight to the point: "Do you know why I didn't look for your parents, but you?"
Why else could it be? Chen Heng bowed and said calmly, "Princess, I think it's because my husband is a successful candidate and works in a government office. Using my husband's future to intimidate me is more effective than going to my parents."
Sure enough, Princess Ning said in a cold voice: "You are very smart." The Shen family is nothing but jumping clowns. As long as she can catch the second son-in-law of the Shen family who has the title of Juren and give him a warning, when the second daughter comes home and tells her about it, the Shen family should be able to understand her intentions.
Thinking of her daughter's abnormal behavior in recent days, Princess Ning was very anxious.
He was such a good kid, but no one knew what had possessed him, and he ended up getting involved with a merchant. If this got out, his reputation would be ruined, and he would be criticized for the rest of his life.
"Princess, you've hit the wrong person." Shen Heng frankly said, "I severed my ties with the Shen family a long time ago. My father wrote the letter of severance himself."
"What?" Princess Ning thought she had misheard: "A letter of severance?"
"yes."
Princess Ning cast a cold glance at the nanny beside her, who quickly admitted her mistake: "This old slave deserves death. I didn't check it clearly."
Things like the severing of engagement letters are so difficult to investigate that not only can the old nanny not find out, even if a detective came, he would not be able to find out because he is not subject to the government.
The Great Cong ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, so this kind of thing was generally not told to others, but the letter of severing ties was recognized by the clan. However, there was one thing: only parents could sever ties with their children, and children could never sever ties with their parents.
So this is also the reason why Shen's father wrote the letter of severing ties. It is only valid if it is written by an elder.
"This is simply outrageous." Another maid whispered on the side.
"Princess, everything in the Shen family has nothing to do with you anymore." Shen Heng said calmly. She didn't want to get involved in this mess, but she was always dragged into it.
"If there is no relationship, why did Zhiyue talk to you alone just now?" Princess Ning would not believe it easily.
"Princess, please be kind. I just want to live a peaceful life and have no other thoughts."
"You really don't have any other ideas?" Princess Ning's sharp gaze swept over: "Don't you want Li Zhiyue to help your husband with a better future?"
"Princess, although I may be dull, I do have some backbone. My husband will fight for his future. He has come this far step by step. Although he has the help of noble people, it is mainly due to his own hard work. I hope my wife will take a closer look."
Princess Ning looked at the woman in front of her who had a pleasant appearance, a firm gaze, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. She was a little surprised that a family as selfish as the Shen family could give birth to such an outstanding daughter.
