Shen Tangning remained calm, her tone slightly sarcastic: "Father doesn't need to apologize to his daughter. The person you hit wasn't me."
Shen Chang was stung by her merciless words and lost face.
Shen Xiwei stepped forward and, in a conciliatory tone, gently comforted her: "Elder sister, Father already knows he was wrong, so I don't think your husband will hold it against him."
Chi Yan was a little annoyed. Whether he cared or not was his business, but she was good at playing the good guy!
Shen Tangning smiled faintly: "Second sister is quite magnanimous. It was my husband who was beaten, and you just let it go with a simple 'I don't care'? You're quite generous with other people's money."
Shen Xiwei's face paled, and Chi Jingyu immediately turned to Shen Tangning with a cold expression and said, "What kind of talk is it for a daughter to be so petty with her own father?"
Shen Tangning rubbed her wrist, forcing a smile: "It seems that since the slap didn't land on you, the young master doesn't know the pain."
Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyu immediately recalled the slap she had given him earlier, his cheek throbbed with pain, and his expression changed.
This crazy woman, she wouldn't want to hit me again!
Shen Tangning didn't look at him, but said to Shen Chang, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but my father has always been fair and just in rewarding and punishing. If he knew he had done something wrong, he would probably feel guilty and have trouble sleeping at night. I am just thinking of my father."
Shen Chang, feeling utterly helpless, could only force a fake smile at Chi Yan: "Chi Yan, it was your father-in-law who acted impulsively without investigating the truth, and I've wronged you."
Chi Yan shook his head meaningfully: "Father-in-law, I only suffered some minor physical injuries, but my wife must be feeling very wronged after just this one incident."
Shen Chang's face stiffened.
These two were working together in unison, determined not to give him any way out!
Ignoring his expression, which looked like he'd swallowed a fly, Shen Tangning turned to Xue Qing and said, "Go see why Granny has been gone for so long?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Qin Mama's cheerful voice rang out: "Miss, your servant is here."
She dragged a maid forward, pinched the girl's waist hard, kicked her behind the knee, and spat, "You little hussy, why don't you kneel down before the master and madam!"
Yinglu knelt down in a disheveled state, her expression panicked and her face deathly pale.
Seeing this, Madam Shen had a guess, and her face darkened: "Granny Qin, what's going on?"
Shen Tangning dusted off non-existent dust from her sleeves and lowered her eyes: "Granny, you tell me."
Qin Mama immediately said clearly, "Master and Madam, on the day Miss got married, I saw this girl sneaking in and out of Miss's room. I thought she was acting suspiciously and was afraid that she had taken something, so I secretly followed her and saw that this little hussy actually went to the Lotus Courtyard!"
Shen Chang suddenly looked at Aunt Fang, his eyes filled with disappointment and frustration.
If you're going to do it, why not do it cleanly?
Aunt Fang's face immediately changed, and a chill ran through her heart.
Things had developed in a way that completely exceeded her expectations.
Only she knew that the letter was not written by her at all!
"Aunt Fang, what's going on? When did the maids in my daughter's courtyard become so familiar with you?" Under Madam Shen's fierce gaze, Aunt Fang knelt down with a thud.
The incident happened so suddenly that she wasn't completely panicked. Tears streamed down her face as she cried out, "Master and Madam, I'm innocent!"
Shen Xiwei's face turned deathly pale, and she knelt down as well: "Father, Mother, Aunt couldn't possibly have done such a thing! There must be some misunderstanding!"
