"Oh." Chen Liao was so angry that he laughed. "What a way of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring. I gave birth to you and raised you, and you haven't even asked me for repayment. Instead, you're remembering the favor of someone with ulterior motives?"
"Chen Chen, you are really good."
Tu Qingyu walked over and held his hand. "Didn't you hear what your daughter said just now? Anger is harmful to your health. Calm down."
Shen Liao looked at her, and finally regained some rationality. He pulled her to sit down, "You sit down."
After being told this, Shen Chen didn't dare to look up at his father.
Ke also lowered his head and asked, "Father said Zhang Mian had ulterior motives, but what did he do to make Father think he had bad intentions?"
He just didn't understand. Making friends is not marriage, so does it have to depend on family background?
"Jingyuan, I forgot to ask, you were so anxious to ask someone to call me back, is there something wrong?" Tu Qingyu asked with a puzzled look on his face, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground, "What are they doing..."
Shen Liao looked at Shen Yao, "You, speak for yourself!"
Shen Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling all over, and she couldn't help but put her hands on her stomach.
She pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Daddy, we truly love each other, please grant our wish."
Chen Chen looked at her and then at his sullen-faced father, and finally understood the situation.
He frowned and asked Chen Yao, "You and Zhang Mian?"
"Brother..." Chen Yao looked at him, trying to get his approval, "Don't you also think Zhang Mian is good? I, I and him..."
Chen Chen interrupted her, "I am on good terms with him, but how can friendship and marriage be the same?"
My sister is the eldest daughter of a marquis, and with this status, she can marry even a prince.
Why marry a poor scholar when there are so many options to marry?
It’s not that he looks down on poor scholars, it’s mainly because this marriage with Chen Yao will not benefit him at all.
Maybe I'll have to rely on him for more help in the future.
How is this possible?
“But you…”
"I don't agree!"
Chen Yao stared at him blankly, tears rolling down her face, and finally she lowered her head and stroked her belly.
"It's too late for you to disagree. I'm already pregnant with his child."
"What?" Shen Chen was struck by lightning.
“Bang!”
At this time, Shen Liao broke another cup. Tu Qingyu looked at the broken pieces on the ground and inexplicably thought of those women in the East Palace in his previous life who loved to break porcelain.
Sure enough, when people are angry to a certain extent, both men and women like to throw things.
Tu Qingyu held his hand and calmed him down, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Now that things have happened, it's time to think about how to solve it."
His daughter was already pregnant, and he simply couldn't remain calm.
Looking at his stubborn daughter kneeling on the ground, he rubbed his brows softly, "You can't have this child, and you can't marry Zhang Mian. Abort the child, and I will arrange a way out for you."
"No!" Chen Yao's face turned pale. "I won't abort it. This is my child. He is the person closest to me in this world."
"I love Zhang Mian, I want to marry her!"
Not to mention Chen Liao, even Tu Qingyu would be furious if he thought that this was his own daughter.
At this moment, she felt sorry for Shen Liao.
But I was very calm in my heart, even a little happy.
The more Chen Yao degenerates, the faster her mission will be completed.
All I can say is, well done!
"Someone come here!" Shen Liao would not allow her to fall into such a state and wanted to force her to have an abortion.
When the nanny came in, Chen Yao started yelling, "No, I don't want it!"
She looked at Shen Liao and said, "Father, if you want to forcibly abort my daughter's child, then please prepare a coffin for her. Even if the child dies, I will never live alone!"
"Then you die!" Shen Liao shouted.
Everyone present except Tu Qingyu was shocked, and the servant kneeling on the ground lowered himself even lower.
In the end, Shen Yao did not die, and this farce ended with Shen Liao deciding to give up Shen Yao.
The next day, Zhang Mian came to propose marriage.
Shen Liao only showed up briefly, and then all the matters were handed over to Shen Chen.
At night, he hugged Tu Qingyu tightly and looked very tired.
Looking at the man who was so fragile, Tu Qingyu comforted him, "It's okay, my Lord. Everyone has their own destiny. When she gets married, we can just stay by her side and watch her for a while."
[It's all my fault. I didn't keep an eye on the Marquis' Mansion, allowing Zhang Mian to take advantage of the situation.]
When Shen Liao heard these words from his heart, he was stunned for a moment.
How can she be blamed for this?
How could she, the stepmother, keep an eye on a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old?
He reached out and patted her back, "Thank you for taking care of the Marquis' Mansion over the years."
"No, it's not good enough, if it weren't for..."
"She made her own mistake and can't blame anyone else.
When she gets married, there's no need to worry about her. Since she's chosen this path, she has to walk it on her own."
Doesn't he only have one daughter?
He also has the well-behaved and intelligent Jun'er.
"Qingyu, you're already doing well. There's no need to feel guilty because of other people's mistakes."
"Oh, by the way, Jingyuan, how are we going to arrange the eldest girl's dowry?"
"She did such a thing, and brought shame to the Marquis's Mansion." Even if they covered up the news, she was a legitimate daughter of a marquis's family, but she didn't marry one of the many good men in the capital, and instead married a poor scholar.
She got married so quickly, there must be something fishy going on.
"The Marquis's Mansion won't hold a grand wedding banquet, so there's no need to prepare much for the dowry. Since she feels that her love is more important, let her embrace her love for the rest of her life."
