Chapter 88 The last bargaining chip
Chapter 88 The last bargaining chip
"I have treated you well. If you have such thoughts again, I will never let you off easily!"
Shen Jiyuan's hair stood on end with rage, veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes were blazing with anger. He stared at Shen Qingwan intently, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
How could he not understand what she was thinking? Her little thoughts were exposed in front of him, and her eyes were full of indifference and disappointment.
"I have taken you and your daughter into the Marquis' Mansion for many years, providing you with good food and drink. I even helped you plan your marriage to the Crown Prince at all costs. I never thought that in your eyes, I, your father, still owe you something. You are such an ungrateful person!"
Shen Jiyuan was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He pointed his finger at Shen Qingwan, his teeth were chattering, and the muscles on his face were twitching with anger.
Shen Qingwan was startled and her face turned pale instantly. She quickly knelt down in front of him, tears pouring out like a flood, and she cried so pitifully.
"Father, don't you love your daughter the most? Why don't you stand by her side right now? She needs you the most right now!"
Her voice was filled with endless grievance and trembling, her body kept shaking, her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, and her lips trembled slightly because of crying.
Now in the Marquis' Mansion she can only rely on her father's love, and can only ask her father to solve this matter. Otherwise, why would she compromise like this?
"Father, I really don't mean anything else. You can't misunderstand me like this."
Shen Qingwan raised her head and looked at Shen Jiyuan with tearful eyes, trying to soften his heart, her eyes were full of pleading.
"Humph!" Shen Jiyuan snorted coldly, "No other intention? Do you think I will still believe you? Your heart and eyes are full of calculations, and you dare to threaten Tian, your father! Do you think I am blind and deaf?"
He was furious, clenched his fists, the joints turned white from the force, his brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, and his eyes pierced Shen Qingwan like a sharp sword.
"Father, you have always loved your daughter, and your daughter knows it very well."
Shen Qingwan continued to cry, "My daughter can only rely on my father's love in the Marquis' Mansion, and I can only ask my father to solve this matter."
If not for this, why would she have to compromise like this? Her father had already owed her and her mother, but she had never expected him to be so heartless, thinking that a few years of peaceful life would be able to make up for all the shameful days they had lived in.
Her voice became louder and louder, and her emotions became more and more agitated. She was determined to marry the prince and not let this incident ruin all her efforts.
"Why? How could I not know that you are so unsatisfied? Do you think I owe you a lot? Should I compensate you?"
Shen Jiyuan looked angry and pointed at her with trembling fingers.
"You have been acting arrogantly in my house. I have never blamed you before. Now you dare to make conditions with me!"
"Father!" Shen Qingwan suddenly raised her voice, "My mother and I have suffered so much injustice. Even though we entered the Marquis' Mansion, we were still ridiculed and belittled everywhere. She could even be considered just a concubine's daughter."
My mother was supposed to be the wife of a marquis, and I was supposed to be the legitimate daughter of a marquis. I had to compromise for the sake of my father and ended up in this state. I didn't expect that my father was so heartless that he didn't want to mention the past anymore.
Didn’t he say that he would love and protect her and her mother for the rest of his life?
Didn't he promise Niang the position of mistress of the Marquis's Mansion and that she would be the Crown Princess?
Why did he send his mother to the ancestral temple, and why did she only end up as the prince's concubine? It was all his fault!
Shen Qingwan screamed at the top of her lungs, completely ignoring Shen Jiyuan's increasingly gloomy expression. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Shen Jiyuan looked at the nearly insane Shen Qingwan in front of him, anger and disappointment intertwined in his heart. "You are such an ungrateful evildoer, how could you be so greedy! The Marquis' Mansion has given you a place to stay and granted you a noble status, but you have no gratitude at all, and you only know how to ask for more!"
Shen Qingwan's eyes widened, and she shouted at Shen Jiyuan: "All of this is owed to you, father! If it weren't for your fault back then, how could mother and I have gone through all these years of suffering!"
"Shut up!" Shen Jiyuan shouted angrily, "Things have come to this, and you still don't repent, and are still talking nonsense!"
Shen Qingwan showed no fear and continued to cry, "Father, if you don't help me today, I really won't be able to survive! There will be no peace in this mansion!"
Shen Jiyuan was so angry that he covered his chest and gasped heavily: "You rebellious girl, do you really want to make the Marquis' Mansion a mess?"
At this time, the maids and servants outside the door heard the fierce quarrel inside the house and were so scared that they dared not go near.
Shen Qingwan was still stubborn: "Father, my daughter has no way out, you must help me!"
Shen Jiyuan laughed in anger: "Okay, okay! Then just wait and see how I can help you!"
After saying that, Shen Jiyuan walked away, leaving Shen Qingwan slumped on the ground, crying loudly.
What happened in Lihuayuan soon reached Shen Tangan's ears.
"Miss, I heard that the Marquis had a big fight with the Second Miss in Lihua Garden, and the Second Miss threatened to commit suicide. I'm afraid she's afraid that the Marquis will give up on her, right?"
"idiot."
Shen Tangan frowned slightly when he heard this, but his expression did not show the slightest bit of surprise.
She knew that Shen Qingwan was the kind of person who would never give up until she achieved her goal, but she didn't expect that she was so hopelessly stupid.
For her, only her father could save her. After all, considering their father-daughter relationship over the years, her father would not leave her alone. Besides, she had the prince's child by her side.
Who knew she was so stupid as to threaten her father.
"Miss, what should we do next?"
Yunzhu asked carefully from the side.
Shen Tangan took a sip of tea, a shrewd look in his eyes: "Let's wait and see what tricks she can come up with."
If even her father gave up on her, I wonder what she would do.
I didn't expect that she would be so unscrupulous. Just an unfounded rumor scared her and made her lose her composure.
It was a wise decision to send Zheng to the Buddhist temple. Without Zheng, Shen Qingwan would lose her backbone. Let's see what she can do on her own.
At this time, Lin also came to Shen Tangan's yard.
"Tang An, Shen Qingwan is in such a mess now, do you have any ideas?" Lin asked.
Shen Tangan smiled slightly: "Mother, don't worry. Her making such a fuss will only make father more annoyed. We just need to wait for the right time."
Lin nodded: "Well, let's see how long she can be so arrogant."
On the other side, Shen Qingwan was in Lihua Garden, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
"Miss, please don't cry and hurt yourself." The maid consoled her.
Shen Qingwan bit her lip and said, "How can I not cry? My father is no longer on my side."
"Miss, you are pregnant with the prince's child. The Marquis will always take you into consideration," said the maid.
Shen Qingwan's eyes flashed with determination: "Yes, I still have this last bargaining chip."
If her father doesn't help her, she can only use this bargaining chip to negotiate!
