Shen Tangning looked at Shen Xiwei and noticed that she looked somewhat haggard, with a shadow in her eyes. She became secretly wary and gave Xue Qing a wink.
Xueqing understood and turned to go inside to find Chi Yan.
It's no wonder she's suspicious. Shen Xiwei is already six or seven months pregnant, and she can't bear the responsibility if something happens to her in front of her.
"Did my second sister need something from me?"
Shen Xiwei stared at her calm expression and couldn't help but curl her lips in a mocking smile: "Eldest sister is truly unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before her. Why did the young master borrow money? It's one thing if the old lady doesn't know, but does eldest sister really not know?"
Shen Tangning was clearly deliberately stirring up trouble. She used to think her elder sister was a fool, but now it seems she is full of scheming!
Shen Tangning instantly understood why Shen Xiwei was acting this way. She already knew that Chi Jingyu had given her 30,000 taels of silver. Could it be that there was some misunderstanding?
Could it be that she thinks Chi Jingyu still has feelings for her?
Although Shen Tangning found it absurd, given Shen Xiwei's line of thinking, it was possible that she really thought that way!
In the past, Shen Tangning might have used this as an excuse to sow discord between the two of them, but now is not a good time.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Shen Xiwei's hatred intensified. She took two steps forward and lowered her voice: "Elder sister, do you think you would still be so calm and composed if the old lady knew why the young master borrowed money?"
Shen Tangning took a few steps back and calmly reminded her, "Second sister, please don't come any closer. If something happens in this awkward situation, even if I had a mouth, I wouldn't be able to explain myself."
Shen Xiwei's expression froze, and she secretly clenched her fingers.
At the same time, Chi Yan also came out of the door and stood under the eaves, raising an eyebrow as he looked over.
She unconsciously bit her lip, her gaze deep and thoughtful.
Seeing her expression, Shen Tangning changed the subject: "So it's because of this that you dislike me so much, Second Sister?"
Shen Xiwei raised her eyes and glared at her fiercely: "Isn't this enough?"
"Then do you know why the young master gave me money?" Shen Tangning's words successfully caught her attention.
Shen Xiwei bit her lip and said resentfully, "What could it be? Shen Tangning, are you showing off to me?!"
Shen Tangning sighed softly: "I think it's better to talk things out to avoid any misunderstandings. The young master felt guilty towards me for the arranged marriage, so he came to me to offer compensation. After the compensation, our grudges will be settled and we will have no further dealings with each other."
She glanced at the stunned Shen Xiwei, "If he didn't want to live a good life with you, why would he use this method to sever ties with me?"
Shen Xiwei stood there stunned, her heart filled with shock, unable to calm down for a long time.
Is that why?
Shen Tangning looked at her with pity: "He put himself in your shoes and considered things so much, but in the end he still has to be suspected by you. I feel sorry for the young master."
Although she used to be happy to see the two of them break up, in the current situation, she still hoped that they could stay together forever.
Shen Xiwei's lips moved slightly as she watched Chi Yan approach: "What have you been talking about for so long? Aren't you supposed to be visiting the Lady of the Marquis?"
She watched the two figures leave, her hand unconsciously resting on her lower abdomen, and pursed her lips.
So, she had misunderstood the prince?
