He spotted Shen Tangning and Shen Ci outside the cell, his cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth in a sinister manner:
"You two wretched children! How dare you show your face before me?!"
Shen Tangning raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing the change in Shen Chang's attitude towards her, and was slightly surprised.
But then I thought about it again, and he must have known that his death was imminent and that she hadn't done anything to help him, which is why he was so angry and embarrassed.
Chi Yan walked out from the shadows, shielding Shen Tangning behind him, and said casually, "Father-in-law, you can scold Shen Ci, or if you really can't, you can scold me. Why scold A-Ning?"
Shen Ci couldn't help but glare at him:
Is that even human language? He's the only one who knows how to fawn over people!
Shen Chang's chest heaved violently twice, and he sneered, staring at Shen Tangning with cold and angry eyes: "I, Shen Chang, have truly raised a fine pair of children! I have raised you with great hardship for many years, and this is how you repay me? Sending your own father to prison, how can there be such unfilial children in the world!"
Shen Tangning calmly met his gaze, showing no sign of panic or surprise: "Father, perhaps you should reflect on yourself before saying such things? When the Fang mother and daughter died, you didn't react at all. Come to think of it, your blood flows in my veins, and my selfishness and indifference are naturally inherited from you."
"You!" Shen Chang's face flushed red with anger at her mockery and ridicule, and he was speechless for a long time.
Shen Ci frowned and finally spoke up: "It was I who reported my father, and I was the one who presented the evidence. If Father wants to blame someone, blame me. Why blame my sister?"
"Ha, don't think I don't know, you two siblings are clearly birds of a feather!"
He should have realized it sooner. Shen Ci has always lacked her own opinions and always followed Shen Tangning's lead. How could she be completely unaware of what he had done?!
"So what if Father finds out? You've already lost everything, and there's no chance of turning things around." Shen Tangning stared at him, clearly seeing the expression on his face crumble little by little, and felt an infinite sense of satisfaction at the prospect of revenge.
“Let me tell you another secret.” She stepped forward, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked down at him, and said in a very soft voice, “Aunt Fang never betrayed you, and Second Sister was indeed your daughter. It’s a pity Father was too suspicious, and they were killed in vain.”
Shen Chang looked up at her in disbelief, his eyes bloodshot, a hint of ferocity in his expression: "It was you! You deliberately plotted to sow discord?"
She curled her lips into a smile, neither confirming nor denying.
Shen Chang collapsed to the ground, his heart filled with overwhelming regret. He suddenly remembered Fang's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and Shen Xiwei's considerate and obedient nature.
If they were the ones by his side, they certainly wouldn't treat him like this!
But it was too late for regrets. Shen Chang, his eyes red and bloodshot, demanded sharply, "Shen Tangning, how could you be so vicious?!"
vicious?
She had heard the same thing from Aunt Fang just a few days ago; birds of a feather flock together.
Shen Tangning's gaze turned cold at some point. She stared at Shen Chang, a mocking smile curving her lips: "From a young age, my father taught me to be a virtuous and upright noblewoman, and not to disgrace the Shen family."
I obeyed my father's words, only to become a puppet manipulated and deceived! Even when disaster struck, and you colluded with the Third Prince against the Xie family, and allowed Fang Shi and Shen Xiwei to plot against my mother and Aci, I was utterly powerless to fight back!
She herself is not doing well, but she can endure it.
