Chapter 185 Severance
"Tang'er!"
The old lady's voice became heavier and her face turned pale.
Chen Xian stared at Chen Tang intently, "Chen Tang! How dare you!"
Chen Tang's cold eyes swept across Chen Xi's face, and he looked at the old lady and said, "Everything I do is for my father and the good of the Marquis' Mansion. I just want to sever the relationship between my father and the second branch. As for my grandmother, if she gets tired of living in the Marquis' Mansion and misses my second uncle, she can move in with him anytime and let him fulfill his filial duty."
"I came to the Dali Temple today for no other reason than to ask for their help in writing a letter of severance to serve as a witness for our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion!"
Chen Tang looked at the old lady with a resolute look, and the old lady felt frightened at the sight of Chen Tang.
Especially Chen Tang's words, "Whatever I do is for my father and for the good of the Marquis' Mansion."
Chen Tang did do a lot for the Marquis' Mansion. It was she who found Chen Yan, and it was she who sent people to bring Chunlan back to the Mansion to let them know how much injustice Jiang had suffered back then, and that the eldest house was not childless, but had two sons.
Shen Tang was indeed doing this for Shen Sui's own good.
As long as the parents are alive, the family will not be divided. In order to appease the anger of the Jiang family, she agreed to separate the second branch, and without Shen Sui's order, the second branch was not allowed to return to the Marquis's mansion. This was no different from severing ties. However, Shen Tang still insisted that Shen Sui remove the second master from the family tree.
His attitude was so resolute, as if whatever the second house might do would bring disaster to the entire Marquis' Mansion.
The old lady just looked at Chen Tang, but Chen Tang remained calm, and Master Jiang didn't understand why Chen Tang did this.
Master Shen II harmed the two sons of Shen Sui for the title. The brotherhood between Shen Sui and Master Shen II had disappeared, so there was no need for a letter of severance. Tang'er knew that even with a letter of severance, it would not sever the mother-son relationship between Madam Shen and Master Shen II. She had no intention of doing such a thing, but she insisted on having that letter of severance.
Master Jiang advised Chen Tang, “Let’s just leave it at that.”
The old lady was distressed, "Do you really have to force Grandmother like this?"
Chen Tang said, "If grandma is really reluctant to remove the second branch from the family tree, then just cross out father's name from the family tree!"
Master Jiang Er said, "Why are you getting more and more outrageous..."
Chen Tang said, "Uncle! I have never been so serious as today!"
These words were said to Master Jiang Er, and even more to the old lady.
Seeing Chen Tang's expression that refused to negotiate, the old lady was really scared. She used all her strength to squeeze out the words, "Yitang'er, remove the second branch from the family tree..."
The second master's face turned pale, "Mother!"
The second wife rushed over again, "I did it all by myself, I am solely responsible for my actions, just let the master divorce me, you can't remove Xian'er and Gu'er from the family tree, they did nothing wrong..."
Chen Xian looked at Chen Tang viciously, "Are you going to force my second uncle and second aunt to death?!"
Chen Tang said to the Dali Temple Minister, "Please write a letter of severance."
Dali Temple Minister, "..."
This is the first time I've seen someone being forced to break off a relationship by a junior.
But Second Miss Shen was stubborn, and everyone in Kyoto knew that the second branch of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion had done all kinds of bad things, causing Second Miss Shen's biological mother to be depressed and die with hatred. Second Miss Shen wanted to avenge her mother, and no one could say anything.
But this letter of severance is not something that can be written casually. The Dali Temple official looked at Chen Sui and asked, "Do you want to write it?"
Shen Sui said, "Thank you for your help."
The Dali Temple Chief Justice also wanted to finish writing and leave quickly, so Manager Li asked the Dali Temple Chief Justice to step aside. After a while, the Dali Temple Chief Justice finished writing the severance letter. Shen Sui signed his name and pressed his handprint, and Manager Li handed it to the second master.
The second master clenched his fists, and Chen Tang said, "I invited the Dali Temple to come to the mansion to handle this matter for the sake of my grandmother. Second uncle wants to go to the Dali Temple to make a decision, and father will accompany you."
A naked threat.
The Dali Temple Minister was overwhelmed by what he heard. Fortunately, the one who married Miss Shen Er was the Prince of Jingyang. If it were someone else, he might not be able to handle it.
Veins popped out on the second master's forehead, and his hands were clenched tightly, wishing he could slap Shen Tang to death with one palm.
But does the Second Master dare?
If you don't dare, you can only sign the severance letter.
Looking at the signature of the severance book, the Dali Temple official pressed his handprint and said impatiently, "I still have things to do in the government office, so I will go back first."
Manager Li escorted the Dali Temple Minister out of the mansion.
Master Jiang Da and Master Jiang Er also left together.
After the Dali Temple Minister and the two masters of the Jiang family left, the old lady looked at everyone in the room and said, "Everyone, get out!"
The old woman dragged the limp Second Wife out. Chen Xi glared at Chen Tang fiercely and also left. The maids and old women all left, and finally the Second Master left.
Shen Tang didn't leave because the old lady drove everyone else out just to ask her questions.
After everyone had left, the old lady looked at Chen Tang, "Tell grandma, why did you have to do something like this that would stab grandma in the heart?!"
Chen Tang did not hide it and said truthfully, "I am afraid that the second branch will commit the crime of killing nine generations of the family, and bring disaster to the first branch."
A chill ran down the old lady's spine, and she blurted out, "Your second uncle would never do such a thing."
Chen Tang laughed, “What if I said the second room had already done it?”
The crime of killing nine clans is no joke. Shen Sui asked, "What did the second house do?"
Chen Tang looked at the old lady, "I dare not tell you, Grandma, for fear that you would be angry to death..."
The old lady said, "If you don't tell me, it will make me anxious to death."
Chen Tang asked, "Grandmother, do you still remember the incident at the flower viewing banquet at Prince Shun's mansion when I was drugged and knocked unconscious?"
The old lady nodded.
It wasn't long since this happened, but even if it had been a long time, she would never forget it.
Chen Tang said, "That day, Chen Xian stuffed me into a box and wanted to send me out of Shun Wang Mansion. Prince Jingyang was so angry that he knocked her out and threw her into the box. The people in Shun Wang Mansion were unaware of this and sent Chen Xian out of the mansion and gave her to Prince Changping..."
The old lady turned pale.
Everyone in Kyoto knows what kind of person the Prince of Changping is.
Nothing good will happen to Shen Xian if she falls into his hands.
The old lady remembered that Shen Ying sprained her ankle the day she returned home...
Chen Tang skipped this part and continued, "On the day of the Queen's birthday banquet, Concubine Ye wanted to frame Chen Xian on the Prince of Jingyang. In order to fight back, the Prince of Jingyang teamed up with the eldest prince. They originally wanted to push Chen Xian to the Prince of Changping and force the Prince of Changping to take responsibility. But something went wrong. The eldest prince didn't have time to discuss it with the Prince of Jingyang, so he took the initiative to change the name from the Prince of Changping to the Second Prince..."
The old lady's face was as white as a piece of paper.
Chen Tang still felt that was not enough, so he asked two questions in a row, "Grandmother, do you know that the eldest young lady of the Wang family is very likely pregnant with the child of the Marquis of Changping?"
"Grandmother, do you know what kind of crime it is to confuse the royal bloodline?"
The old lady's hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the Buddhist beads.
Shen Sui also took a few breaths, "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell your father?"
Chen Tang said, "I've told my father, and then what? Chen Xi plotted against my daughter, so is my father still going to stand up for her? My daughter doesn't have such a kind heart."
"What happens next is no longer under my control. All I can do is to make sure my father and the second wife completely sever their ties, so that they will no longer be involved in my misfortunes or blessings."
