He put the letter away and looked at Chen Yao with a look that was even more hurt than hers.
"Where did this come from?"
"Don't ask that. Just tell me, is this true?"
"That's how you see me, right? Do you believe this guy or me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, you, as long as you say no, I will believe you..."
"No, how could such a horrific thing be possible?!"
His eyes were red. "I lost my father when I was young, but when he passed away, our family still had some money, so we didn't let my mother go..."
"Ah..." He sighed heavily and gritted his teeth, "I can't even say this."
"Later, I was able to enter the school, thanks firstly to the help of the village elders, and secondly, the town magistrate valued my talent and couldn't bear to see me... That's why he would lend me some money from time to time. To this day, I still remember this kindness firmly in my heart."
"My mother is seriously ill. I wish I could serve her medicine by her bedside every day. If she hadn't threatened to die, insisting that I come to Beijing first to take the exam, how could I..."
Chen Yao didn't believe that he would do such a thing, but after hearing what he said, her doubts were immediately reduced by half.
"I..." She reached out to pull the person, but Zhang Mian dodged her.
Zhang Mian seemed to have been insulted. "Yao'er, no, Miss Chen, it's me, Zhang Mian, who is marrying above my station."
"The threshold to enter the Marquis' Mansion is too high. Zhang is just wishful thinking."
"In that case, from now on, let's break up and never see each other again."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Chen Yao panicked, "No, Mian Lang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you, I was wrong, I won't do it again, please don't ignore me..."
Zhang Mian struggled, and Chen Yao said a few more nice words, and finally he stayed.
In the front hall, Shen Liao always felt that he had forgotten something. He looked at the glorious Shen Chen in front of him, and finally remembered - Zhang Mian.
He called the butler over and asked, "Master, have you invited any classmates today?"
The housekeeper said, "My Lord, I invited my classmates today. I personally welcomed them in while you were talking to the Dukes."
"Is there a person called Zhang Mian?"
"Mr. Zhang? It seems he is here too."
"Go find it!"
When others went to look for him, Zhang Mian had already returned to the banquet hall and was talking to Shen Chen as if nothing had happened.
As a scholar, Shen Liao couldn't just drive him away. If the matter got out of hand, it would inevitably affect the women of the Shen family.
After asking the servants if they had seen this man near the backyard, he did not pursue the matter further.
He just told the servants at home not to let Zhang Mian in again next time.
Even if Chen Chen brings it with him, it won’t work.
But this could stop Zhang Mian but not Chen Yao.
He would never have thought that after knowing those things, Chen Yao would still have contact with Zhang Mian.
And she was coaxed into giving her body to the other person with just a few words.
When the two of them were together for the first time, Tu Qingyu also watched Dabao's live broadcast, but the footage that Dabao broadcast was blurred.
Tu Qingyu: "What's going on? You're a spirit weapon, and you're automatically blurring out?"
Dabao: "This, this is not suitable for children, I'm still a baby~"
Tu Qingyu: "Baby? When we talked about sleeping before, I didn't see you being shy at all."
Dabao: "Talk is one thing, watch is another."
Tu Qingyu: "Okay, okay, that's fine too."
Anyway, Zhang Mian looked like an average-looking guy, and she didn't really want to look at him for fear of it being an eyesore.
The two of them finished quickly, and Tu Qingyu sighed, "What a big bed!"
Dabao: "Big? I just feel it's fast."
Tu Qingyu: "This is a joke from the human world. I told you to watch some TV series when you were bored, but you refused. You stared at me all day long. Look."
Dabao: "I was just beginning to gain intelligence at that time, and I was afraid that you, my master, would disappear."
After he said this, Tu Qingyu realized that he had also said "fast".
Sure enough, Dabao is no longer the pure Dabao before.
They hung out like this a few more times. In order to avoid being implicated when the truth came to light, Tu Qingyu took Chen Jun to the farm to cause trouble.
Although Shen Liao loves her very much now, human nature cannot be gambled.
If the truth comes out, will Shen Liao think that she has failed to manage the mansion well?
Her stepdaughter had sneaked out so many times, and she hadn't tried to stop her, not even by telling him.
She would pretend that she knew nothing, live on the farm, and do some work, so that she could give her precious daughter the title of princess.
Fortunately, Shen Liao expressed his support for her going to the farm to relax.
A few days later, Shen Jun told Shen Liao about his discovery according to the notes that Tu Qingyu showed him.
Shen Liao was overjoyed and was even more willing for them to stay in the village.
I even often come over and accompany the two of them to record.
Another month later, Dabao told Tu Qingyu that Chen Yao was pregnant.
Two months later, just when she and Shen Jun were "researching" cowpox, someone came to the mansion.
"Madam, something happened in the mansion. The Marquis asks you to return as soon as possible!"
"What happened?" She had just returned from picking wild fruits in the mountains with Chen Jun. "Is it urgent?"
Oh, it should be three months now. Chen Yao’s pregnancy can no longer be concealed.
Tsk tsk tsk, the truth is out.
She hurriedly took Shen Jun back to the house and went straight to the main hall.
In the main hall, Chen Yao and her servants in the yard were kneeling.
When Shen Liao saw her and her daughter come in, he suppressed his anger.
"Jun'er, go back to your own yard first. Daddy and Mommy still have some things to deal with."
Seeing the scene here, Shen Jun knew that something big had happened, and she nodded obediently.
But before leaving, she couldn't help but tell Shen Liao, "Then my daughter will take her leave first. Dad, don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health."
"Daddy, your own body is the most important."
Shen Liao looked at his well-behaved daughter, and felt a moment of bitterness in his heart.
He didn't understand why the gap between his daughters was so big.
"Dad knows, go back."
When Shen Jun left, Shen Chen happened to rush over.
"Dad, what happened?" He glanced at the scene in the hall. "Why are you mobilizing so many troops again?"
Shen Liao picked up a cup and smashed it at him, sternly saying, "Kneel down too!"
Although Shen Chen didn't understand why, he didn't dare to disobey Shen Liao at all.
You can only avoid the glass shards when you kneel down.
"Dad, you have something to say, but what did your son do wrong?"
"Of course you're wrong!" He pointed at Chen Chen on the ground and started to yell, "I warned you a long time ago that Zhang Mian was not a good person and told you not to associate with him anymore. Did you listen to a word I said?"
Chen Chen: "I don't understand, how can he not be a good person? A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. He carried me out of the Imperial Examination Hall that day. What's wrong with me associating with him?"
