Shen Tangning smiled slightly. She understood her mother's personality; her mother cared most about herself and Shen Ci, and everyone else had to take a backseat.
My father used to be a very good actor, just like a real loving father. But after what happened today, my mother has a seed of doubt planted in her heart. From now on, she will be more careful and secretly wary of my father.
Once a rift exists, it is not so easy to repair.
Any slight sign of her father acting strangely only confirmed her suspicions.
It wasn't for nothing that he used a trick to his advantage, and he almost got slapped in the process.
Although this move could not completely bring down Fang, it revealed her ambition to her mother. Fang's years of forbearance and lurking had come to naught, and she must be feeling incredibly frustrated right now.
Shen Tangning's mind was in turmoil, but she didn't show it on her face.
Madam Shen's gaze fell on her, a complex expression on her face: "A-Ning, don't worry, I won't let you suffer this injustice for nothing."
Her daughter had long suspected Yingluo of harboring treachery, but she kept it to herself, and she knew very well why.
Shen Tangning lowered her eyes, revealing the demeanor of a young girl: "It was my own choice to marry Chi Yan, Mother, you don't need to worry too much about me. These past few days, I have observed his character. Although he is mischievous, he is pure and kind. Given time, he may not be inferior to Chi Jingyu."
Madam Shen was relieved and her brows relaxed: "After seeing him today, I also feel that he is not as bad as the rumors say. In any case, he is living his own life behind closed doors. You know what's going on."
Previously, when her daughter asked Granny Qin to give her a reply, she thought she was only reporting good news and not bad news, but now she can finally rest assured.
...
After leaving Madam Shen's courtyard, Shen Tangning called over Granny Qin and casually asked, "Where is Yingluo?"
The two walked along the path. Granny Qin said, "The matchmaker came just now and took her away. That girl is a traitor; selling her is too good for her!"
In her opinion, they should be taken to the authorities!
Shen Tangning lowered her eyes gently. In the courtyard, pink and white crabapple blossoms adorned the branches, trembling in the breeze, looking delightful.
She parted the flowers and brushed past the willows, her beauty exquisite, and she gently pursed her red lips: "Please trouble you, Granny, to keep an eye on where she is."
Granny Qin was puzzled. Could it be that Miss still cherished their past relationship?
Just as I was about to frown, I heard her slowly add, "Send someone to keep an eye on her, and make sure they see her breathe her last."
The tone was clearly very calm, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.
Granny Qin was startled and quickly lowered her head: "This servant understands."
A cold glint appeared in Shen Tangning's eyes.
If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.
Yingluo has fallen to this state because of her, and it's hard to guarantee that she won't harbor resentment. She's really worried about keeping such a troublemaker around.
Moreover, in her previous life, she colluded with the Fang family and did things that were enough to make her die a thousand times over.
The figures of the master and servant gradually disappeared into the distance.
A crabapple blossom twirled and fell to the ground, getting covered in dust and mud.
Amidst the shadows of the flowers, Chi Yan leaned lazily against a tree branch, her eyes weary.
Having finally shaken off that little firecracker Shen Ci, I found this place to hide in peace and quiet, but I never expected to overhear such a conversation.
He stared blankly at the crabapple blossoms in full bloom on the branches.
Shen Tangning was meticulous and knew all along that the maid had betrayed her and deliberately staged this scene.
Even if he doesn't stand up for her today, she has her own way of resolving the situation. She might even resent him for meddling and ruining her plan.
He chuckled and suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes.
A beauty as lovely as a flower, seen only from beyond the clouds.
Tsk, too bad it's a man-eating flower.
We can't afford to mess with them.
