"You rebellious daughter! Are you trying to rebel?" Shen Feng's face turned ashen, his eyes blazing with fury, his anger rising within him, and his hand pointing at Song Zhiyu trembled.
This was outrageous! Shen Feng felt his authority had been challenged and was instantly enraged.
Song Zhiyu stopped in front of Shen Feng, looked up and met his eyes. His aura was in no way weak. "I never thought that the dignified Marquis of Chengen would do such a shameless thing as seizing other people's treasures."
If the people of the world knew about the behavior of the Marquis of Chengen's family, they would surely find it utterly despicable.
"That's utter nonsense!" Shen Feng said angrily, his face long.
Everything in the Marquis's mansion originally belonged to him; there's no question of him seizing it.
Shen Mingyi also stepped forward and spoke in a grand and dignified manner, "Song Zhiyu, the congratulatory gifts sent by the Princess and the Duke of Ling's Mansion to the Marquis's Mansion should naturally be deposited into the public treasury according to the Marquis's Mansion's rules."
"If you hadn't benefited from the Marquis's influence, why would the Eldest Princess and the Duke of Ling's mansion value you so highly?"
Shen Mingyi's prejudice made him feel that if Song Zhiyu hadn't been associated with the Marquis's family, she would never have caught the Princess's eye, let alone had the chance to treat the Princess's illness, given her status as a country girl.
Song Zhiyu owes his current success entirely to the Marquis's family, and it is only right that he repays them.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhiyu curled the corners of her mouth, showing no shock at the shameless behavior of the Shen family father and son.
After all, she had already seen their true colors in her previous life.
But Song Zhiyu was still amused by Shen Mingyi's remarks and couldn't help but retort, "Shamelessness is truly invincible. Stop trying to glorify yourself."
I was able to cure the princess through my own skills and medical expertise, not through your mouth that only knows how to distort the truth, nor through the name of a declining marquis's mansion.
"Did the Second Young Master Shen fail to cure the Eldest Princess's old ailment because he didn't want to?"
This anger inexplicably turned on Shen Muxun. When he met Song Zhiyu's smiling eyes, he felt embarrassed and secretly clenched the note in his hand.
He had also volunteered to treat the princess, but the results were always unsatisfactory, and the effects were minimal.
In terms of medical skills, he had to admit that he was indeed inferior to Song Zhiyu.
Just as he was feeling down, a soft, boneless hand gently touched his shoulder, offering comfort in a gentle voice.
"Second sister, your words are too hurtful. Over the years, your second brother has been constantly improving his medical skills and is no longer what he used to be. How can you deny his efforts with just one sentence? I hope you will be careful with your words."
Upon receiving the news, Shen Jinshu rushed over with a look of disapproval. Her clear and gentle voice slowly rang out as she spoke up to defend Shen Muxun, making Song Zhiyu seem like the villain.
“Shu’er…” Shen Muxun was deeply moved, a genuine smile appearing on his face. It turned out that Shu’er understood him.
Having a younger sister like Shu'er is his greatest blessing.
Shen Jinshu turned around, smiling gently, "Second Brother, I have always believed in you."
The conversation between the two reached Shen Feng's ears. He nodded in satisfaction. As expected of his daughter, whom he had personally raised, she was generous, proper, and had the demeanor of a lady from a prominent family.
Song Zhiyu is not even as good as a single hair on Shu'er's head.
Shen Feng's expression softened considerably, and his tone, which sounded like a bestowal, made Song Zhiyu laugh. "From today onwards, you shall move out of Songxi Courtyard."
I've prepared a courtyard for you in the main compound, far superior to Songxi Courtyard. These treasures will be stored in the storeroom for now; you can take them out whenever you need them.”
Song Zhiyu sneered inwardly. If she really agreed, she was afraid that when she needed it, there would only be an empty box left.
How can you expect the Shen family to easily vomit up what they've swallowed?
"I won't say it a second time, but within half an incense stick's time, return these things to me intact."
Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting all the people of the capital witness the shameless behavior of the Marquis's mansion." Song Zhiyu wasn't going to tolerate them; what belonged to her, the Marquis's mansion shouldn't even think about touching.
"Are you threatening me?" Shen Feng frowned, his gaze fixed on Song Zhiyu with a venomous look, his tone sinister.
Song Zhiyu curled her lips into a smile and shrugged indifferently, "If you say so, then so be it."
She was indeed threatening Shen Feng. Someone as concerned about his reputation as he would naturally not allow anything to damage the Marquis's mansion's honor.
It doesn't matter if a method is old, as long as it works.
“Second sister, we are all family, you shouldn’t…” Shen Jinshu stepped forward at the right time.
"Clap clap clap~"
Before she could finish speaking, a series of crisp slaps rang out, leaving several bright red handprints on both cheeks, completely stunning her.
"You destroyed the Star Grass I painstakingly cultivated. Giving you only a few slaps is already letting you off easy." Song Zhiyu withdrew her hand. Although her palm stung with pain, she felt incredibly relieved.
Watching Shen Jinshu's face change, her expression of wanting to devour her whole yet still smiling at her out of consideration for the occasion, was truly amusing.
"Second sister, if you're angry, take it out on me. Don't make things difficult for Father and brothers anymore. They truly care about you." Shen Jinshu covered her face, suppressing the hatred in her heart. Crystal tears welled up in her eyes, and her appearance, on the verge of falling, was particularly heartbreaking.
"OK."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhiyu readily agreed. Ignoring Shen Jinshu's unpleasant expression, she raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face again, showing no mercy.
In an instant, Shen Jinshu's face swelled up.
Shen Mingyi reacted and saw that Shen Jinshu's fair face was flushed. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Song Zhiyu's wrist and squeezed it tightly, and shouted sternly, "Song Zhiyu, stop right now! Shu'er is not someone you can touch. If you dare to hurt her again, I'll be very rude to you."
He had barely finished speaking when he was met with a heavy slap that sent his face flying to the side, demonstrating the immense strength of Song Zhiyu's blows.
Song Zhiyu shook her hand, her palm slightly numb, and her smile didn't reach her eyes. "You really have a thick skin."
Upon hearing these disgusting words, Shen Mingyi felt as if a lump of cotton was stuck in his chest, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He was the one who got beaten up, and he was also the one who was criticized for being shameless.
Shen Mingyi was so angry he nearly fell over, his chest heaving violently, and the ever-present fake smile on his face finally cracked.
He finally understood how Shen Yanxi felt when Song Zhiyu always made him furious.
"Second Brother, how are you?" Shen Jinshu cupped Shen Mingyi's face in her hands and examined him carefully, her face filled with worry.
"I'm fine, but you silly girl, you never think of yourself." Shen Mingyi felt a warmth in his heart. Seeing that even though she was injured, she still came to care for him first, his love for Shen Jinshu grew even stronger.
