He rushed forward impatiently, his mouth almost never stopping. First, he cursed in front of her, "That wicked Shen Ci, he's so greedy for power that he's disregarded even his own family. When I get out, I'll teach him a lesson about morality and ethics!"
He asked her anxiously, "What's the situation outside? Have you heard anything?"
Shen Tangning chuckled softly. She put down the food box and took out the food one by one: "Father, don't be in a hurry. You've asked so many questions, which one should I answer? Here, have some hot food to fill your stomach first."
Shen Chang was in no mood to eat. His face was inevitably a little anxious. He brushed aside the pastries she offered, and because he didn't control his strength, the snow-white pastries rolled to the ground.
He paused, feeling uneasy for some reason, and cautiously looked at her expression.
Fortunately, Shen Tangning only paused briefly before saying nonchalantly, "Father, don't worry, there's no news coming from outside yet."
Shen Chang breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly thought of something and stared at her eagerly: "Tang Ning, you must have a way to get your father out of here, right?"
Her bright eyes curved into a smile, her tone reassuring: "Father, rest assured, we are upright and have nothing to fear. If you did not do those things, His Majesty will naturally give you justice."
Meeting her clear, bright eyes, Shen Chang unconsciously overreacted and stammered, unable to speak.
Shen Tangning frowned slightly and lowered her voice: "Did Father really do those things? That's a bit difficult to handle."
Shen Chang immediately became anxious: "Tang Ning, you can't abandon your father! If all else fails, ask Chi Yan to put in a good word for me. He's so influential with His Majesty, his words will surely carry weight!"
Shen Tangning looked at him with a sense of irony. If he was truly a father who loved his daughter, did he not consider that if he pleaded for him, Chi Yanjiu would also be angered by His Majesty?
It is clear that he only cares about his own safety and is truly selfish.
"But... Chi Yan hasn't returned yet."
She frowned, feigning difficulty.
Shen Chang's face paled. By the time Chi Yan returned, the case would probably be closed. He couldn't wait that long!
His mind raced, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He forced a fawning smile: "Tang Ning, there's another way..."
Seeing his expression, Shen Tangning had a bad feeling. She asked calmly, "What is Father saying?"
His eyes flickered, and Shen Chang said somewhat awkwardly, "Didn't His Majesty bestow upon the Xie family a certificate of merit? A certificate of merit can absolve one of the death penalty. With it, my father will be fine!"
She almost burst out laughing at the way his eyes darted around. She knew Shen Chang was shameless, but she never expected him to set his sights on the Xie family!
She stood up, her concerned expression completely gone, and looked down at him expressionlessly: "Father wants me to beg the Xie family? But I can't bring myself to ask. The Iron Certificate of the Righteousness is something the Xie family uses to protect their lives. Why should it be used on Father?"
The sarcasm in her voice was undisguised, and Shen Chang's face darkened instantly. Of course, he knew how unreasonable his request was, but no matter what, he was still her father. What kind of attitude was this?!
"Are you going to just stand by and watch your father die?"
She didn't say a word, but just glanced at him with that calm, emotionless gaze, as if he were looking at a dead object, which inexplicably sent a chill down his spine.
Shen Chang gritted his teeth, lowered his stance, and looked at her earnestly: "Tang Ning, you're all I have left! You must save your father..."
“Of course.” Shen Tangning slowly curled the corners of her lips, her tone deliberate and measured. “I’ve said it before, I will take good care of my father from now on.”
During festivals and holidays, we will definitely offer you extra incense.
