626 Adding Fuel to the Flame (1)
The marriage exchange between Shen Yue and Shen Dongling had an unimaginable consequence. At the demand of the Wang family, Shen Wan had no choice but to agree to let Shen Yues marry Wang Bi as an equal wife because he didn’t want to make enemies with the Wang Family. He did not know what Shen Dongling said to the Wang Family this time, but the Wang Family refused to listen to Shen wan’s explanation.
However, this was not the outcome Shen Yue wanted. She fell out with her parents, shouting that she wouldn’t marry Wang Bi no matter what, and that she couldn’t tolerate being equal with Shen Dongling.
Not only was Shen Yue unwilling, but Chen Ruoqiu was also very angry. Chen Ruoxiu was usually a person who could see the bigger picture, but this matter concerned her daughter’s marriage, so she could not take it lying down and insisted that Shen Wan go to the Wang family to ask for an explanation. The master and madam of the third branch, who had always been loving to each other, had been having frequent conflicts these days.
It was the same today.
Chen Ruoqiu paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, she turned around and walked up to Shen Wan, saying anxiously, “What exactly does the Wang family want? We can’t let this matter drag on like this, right? That little b*tch, Shen Dongling, is taking over Yue’s place. Does she really have the guts to challenge us? Master, go to the Wang family and argue with them!”
She kept calling Shen Dongling “little b*tch”, making her look like a completely different person from the one with good upbringing. Shen Wan couldn’t help but frown. He said patiently, “Now, we can only let Yue marry over as an equal wife before trying to figure out what to do next. Give me some peace.”
“Master!” Chen Ruoqiu screamed, “Yue is your daughter, and she’s also the legitimate daughter of our third branch. How can you bear to see her on equal footing with that little b*tch, Chen Dongling! Even if it’s Yue’s fault, it must be because Shen Dongling instigated it. How could you be so heartless!”
Shen Wan felt deafened by Chen Ruoqiu’s scream and said angrily, “Then what do you think we should do? The longer this matter goes on, the more Yue will suffer. As you said, if this matter blows up, Shen Dongling, the daughter of a concubine, won’t be affected. Instead, Yue will be pointed at and laughed at. The Shen family will also become a joke.”
Chen Ruoqiu was shocked by Shen Wan’s angry voice and trembled a little. However, when she thought of Shen Yue, she brace herself and said, “But we can’t let Yue suffer just like that, right? No, I have to go to the Wang Mansion personally to seek justice for Yue.”
“Enough!” Shen Wan said angrily, “Stay at home and watch over Shen Yue. Don’t cause me trouble!”
Chen Ruoqiu was stunned. Over the years of living with Shen Wan, even when he was the angriest, he had never been so harsh to her. Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously said, “You and I used to be loyal and loving to each other, and you promised that you wouldn’t take in a concubine. Are you going to change your mind? Do you not love me anymore…”
Over the past few days, Chen Ruoqiu had been worried sick about her daughter. She looked much older and more haggard. In Shen Wan’s eyes, she looked a little ridiculous. He glanced at Chen Ruoqiu indifferently and said, “If that’s what you think, then so be it.” He turned around and left.
