"Didn't you hear me clearly? It was the man who married the concubine first. In other words, it was the Minister who cuckolded him!"
Who would have thought that the gossip behind the seemingly glamorous facade of wealthy and powerful families would be so exciting!
The murmurs reached Shen Chang's ears like thunder. He felt a ringing in his ears, and in the blink of an eye, he raised his hand and slapped Aunt Fang hard!
With a crisp "bang"!
Aunt Fang was knocked off balance by the force of the blow and staggered backward. Shen Xiwei quickly caught her and turned back with a look of surprise and doubt: "Father, Aunt is pregnant. Can't we sit down and talk things over?"
Enraged, Shen Chang wouldn't listen to anything.
He raised his hand again, his face filled with a terrifying gloom, and glared fiercely at Aunt Fang: "Don't stop me, I'm going to beat this bitch to death today!"
Aunt Fang covered her face and wept, her eyes filled with fear. Her lower abdomen ached slightly, but she had no time to care about that: "Master, I have served you for so many years, don't you even have this much trust in me?"
"You dare bring that up again!"
The thought that the other party had kept it from her for so many years, treating her like a fool, until her husband came to her door, made her realize that she had been taken advantage of all these years!
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Lord Liu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Shen Chang: "Lord Shen! Lord Shen, don't be impulsive. Let's talk things out. Don't do anything irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness!"
Although as a man he could understand Shen Chang's frustration, he still hadn't forgotten his duty. If he really wanted to vent his anger, he could go back, close the door, and do whatever he wanted with him!
But if someone dies on his own turf, wouldn't he be the one who suffers in the end?
After much persuasion, Lord Liu finally managed to convince Shen Chang to stop.
Amid the chaos, Shen Tangning's voice sounded remarkably calm and composed: "Lord Liu, Concubine Fang is pregnant and it is inconvenient for her. Could you please find her a chair?"
Shen Xiwei glanced at her, and a sense of vigilance immediately arose in her heart.
Would she really be that kind?
Lord Liu secretly admired her thoughtfulness and quickly ordered someone to bring over a chair.
After settling Aunt Fang down, Shen Chang's face was still ashen. He gritted his teeth and said in a restrained tone, "Lord Liu, this is ultimately a family matter of the Shen family. Could you please dismiss all irrelevant people?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Tangning curled her lips, knowing that he felt he had lost face big time today, but what use was it to mend the fence after the sheep had been lost?
Presumably, within a day, Shen Chang's glorious deeds will spread throughout Yanjing, without even needing her to stir things up.
Madam Shen also let out a sneer with an ambiguous meaning, and Shen Chang's body stiffened again.
Regardless, Lord Liu was still willing to give him face, so he immediately chased away the onlookers and closed the gate to conduct the interrogation.
Aunt Fang's emotions had gone through a rollercoaster, and now her abdominal pain was becoming increasingly pronounced. Her lips were pale, and she bit them lightly as she looked pleadingly at Shen Chang: "Master, my stomach hurts terribly..."
She thought she would soften his heart as usual, but Shen Chang only glanced at her with disgust: "Don't give me that. You'll have to bear the pain. You asked for it!"
Aunt Fang's body went limp, and the light in her eyes dimmed.
Shen Tangning clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, scrutinizing Aunt Fang's face. She tapped her fingertips lightly on the back of her hands a few times, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
Finding a doctor wouldn't be difficult, but her father truly embodied the ultimate in heartlessness and ingratitude.
Therefore, if anything happens in the future, you can't blame anyone else.
