Having resolved a worry, Shen Tangning felt completely relieved.
Liu Yifu is a good person and deserves someone better. We shouldn't waste our lives because of her.
Not long after she returned home, she received a message from a servant in the Shen household, saying that the master wanted her to come back.
Shen Tangning's eyes flickered slightly, and she guessed the reason. She then sent the servant away.
She didn't set off back to the Shen family until Shen Chang was about to finish his shift.
As soon as she stepped inside, Madam Shen sent someone over: "Miss, Madam requests your presence."
When Shen Tangning arrived at the main hall, Madam Shen said to her bluntly, "No matter what favor your father asks you to do, you don't need to pay any attention to him!"
Seeing her angry expression, Shen Tangning laughed instead and sat down next to her: "So, Mother already knows why Father called me back?"
Madam Shen glanced over, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Didn't you already guess?"
She nodded calmly and confidently: "I did guess a bit of it."
Now her father is facing a large sum of compensation, which is not a small amount. The Shen family is different from the Ningyuan Marquis's family. It looks like just a facade, but in fact it is in debt.
However, Shen Chang had previously been tricked into buying fake antiques and paintings, and had lost a large sum of money, which can be described as a complete loss.
Selling property and shops takes time, so it's probably quite difficult for him to come up with such a large sum of money in a short period of time.
So, is her father planning to ask her for money?
A cold sneer flashed in Madam Shen's eyes: "He initially had his eye on me." She slammed her hand heavily on the table, her cold laughter continuing, "But I've never heard of a family where the principal wife has to use her dowry to cover up the debts caused by a concubine's infidelity!"
She naturally refused.
If you want her to be the sucker, that's fine too. Just sign the divorce papers and she'll immediately withdraw the money from the account.
Trading a sum of money for freedom isn't too bad.
But Shen Chang refused to agree, for he naturally knew what was more important!
Perhaps feeling ashamed, Shen Chang didn't bring it up again, but then he turned his attention to his daughter!
After all, Shen Tangning is his daughter, and he shouldn't stand idly by, neither morally nor logically.
But if he truly loves his daughter, doesn't he consider whether Aning will be able to hold her head high in her husband's family after doing this?
Shen Tangning lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Father really thinks highly of me."
He used to love Shen Xiwei so much, why didn't he let her think of a solution?
Oh, by the way, the two of them have now fallen out.
Madam Shen was afraid that she would soften her heart, so she repeatedly instructed her: "You must not agree to anything he proposes later. He deserves to pay for the sins he has committed!"
No husband's family would be happy for their daughter-in-law to subsidize her parents' family every now and then, let alone such a large sum of money. The Chi family is not short of money, but their money doesn't grow on trees!
"Don't worry, Mother, I have my own plans."
Just then, Shen Chang returned to the mansion. When he saw Madam Shen, his expression stiffened, and he stopped in his tracks, turning his face away and speaking in a stiff tone: "Tang Ning, come with your father to the study."
“Yes, Father.” Shen Tangning stood up and saw Madam Shen winking at her, so she only gave her a reassuring smile.
Upon entering the study, Shen Chang first feigned concern for her recent situation before slowly steer the conversation to the main topic:
"Tang Ning, your father is a little short of money lately. I wonder if you could..." He hesitated, realizing that asking his daughter was a last resort, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
