Tang Ning is a renowned noblewoman in Yanjing; how could her words be false?
With tears welling up in her eyes, she excitedly grasped Shen Tangning's hand: "Mother will listen to you, tell me what to do!"
——
Upon returning to Ruyi Residence, Xueqing greeted her, followed by a woman: "Miss, look who's here?"
The woman stepped forward, her eyes reddening: "I'm late, Miss, you've been wronged!"
Shen Tangning's eyes reddened as well: "It's good that Granny is here."
Qin Mama was the dowry nanny that her mother gave her. Logically, she should have come to the Chi family with her yesterday, but she made an excuse that she had some things to pack and left Qin Mama at the Shen family.
There was no way around it; Granny Qin was too meticulous. With her around, the marriage exchange wouldn't go so smoothly.
In her previous life, Qin Mama stayed by her side until her death.
Once inside and the door closed, Granny Qin unleashed her furious rant: "How dare the Second Miss! How dare the Chi family! You are the rightful legitimate daughter of the Shen family!"
What kind of character is that Second Young Master Chi? Everyone in Yanjing knows!
What's the difference between marrying a young lady to such a husband and ruining her life?
She wiped her eyes, her eyes filled with heartache. "When Madam heard about this, she was furious and wanted to come to the Chi family to demand an explanation without saying a word. But Master stopped her, so Madam could only ask me to pass on a message to you, asking what you want to do?"
Shen Tangning curled her lips, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes: "Granny, tell me, where did Shen Xiwei, a concubine's daughter, get the audacity to deceive everyone on her wedding night and make it go so smoothly?"
Granny Qin was taken aback, and after thinking carefully for a moment, she asked, "Does Miss mean... someone is stirring things up?"
A storm raged in her eyes. Aunt Fang certainly didn't have that ability, so it could only be…
Shen Tangning lowered her eyes; in fact, she only came to understand this matter later.
Her good father outwardly treated his sisters equally, but in reality, he always favored the Fang mother and daughter.
In his previous life, his younger brother Shen Ci was schemed against by the daughter of a sixth-rank official. When he saw her fall into the water, he rescued her out of good intentions, but afterwards, he was forced to marry her due to rumors.
Otherwise, with his talent and family background, he could have married even the daughter of the Grand Tutor!
After Jiang married into the family, she never had a peaceful day again. Her mother fell ill from the stress and passed away less than two years later. Shen Ci's career was ruined because of her, and he was depressed and frustrated.
Not long after, Aunt Fang gave birth to a son, and the father turned his attention to the illegitimate son.
Later, Shen Xiwei, his eyes filled with hatred, told her:
Her aunt and father were childhood sweethearts, but her mother interfered and forced her mother to become a concubine. Otherwise, her position as the legitimate daughter should have been hers, and everything she had should have been hers!
What a joke!
If Shen Changru truly values Fang Shi, couldn't he refuse the marriage proposal to his mother? If he doesn't want to, who can force him to get married?
But he didn't, because his foundation was still weak and he desperately needed a powerful in-law family to help him gain a foothold in the court!
She relied on her maternal grandfather's family's influence and sucked her mother's blood to get to where she is today, yet she resents her mother for ruining their childhood friendship!
He really is trying to have his cake and eat it too!
Shen Tangning barely managed to calm her resentment: "Granny, go and tell Mother that every cloud has a silver lining. My marriage to Chi Yan was my own choice."
In this life, none of them will escape!
