611 Forced Marriage (4)

Shen Yue’s eyes lit up. She pounced forward and hugged Shen Dongling, thanking her repeatedly, looking like she was really grateful. However, in a place where Shen Dongling couldn’t see, a smug smile appeared on Shen Yue’s face.

“But Second Sister, it’s better to plan it out well.” Shen Dongling said, “After all, the marriage swap is not a small matter. Once it’s exposed, we won’t have a good time.”

Shen Yue let go of Shen Dongling and said excitedly, “Of course. Don’t worry, Third Sister. Since you help me out, I will definitely explain to my parents that I force you to do this. I won’t let them blame you or punish you.”

Shen Dongling smiled. “Second Sister, I believe in you.”

The night was as dark as ink. When Shen Dongling returned to her bedroom in Rosy Cloud Garden, Concubine Wan was already asleep. She sneaked out while Concubine Wan was sleeping, and Concubine Wan thought that Shen Dongling had already gone to bed.

Shen Dongling’s maid, Xing Hua, asked, “Miss, are you really going to marry Young Master Wang for Second Miss?”

“Why not?” Shen Dongling watched as Xing Hua closed the door. She sat on the couch, picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a sip, revealing a smile. She said, “The Wang family is an official family to begin with. Wang Bi will have a bright official career ahead of him. With my background, it’s impossible for me to marry him in this life. Since I have this opportunity, I’ll be a fool not to hold on to it.”

“In that case,” Xing Hua smiled, “Second Miss did you a favor.”

“A favor?” Shen Dongling smiled mockingly. “Do you really think she will be that kind?”

The maid was stunned and said in confusion, “Miss, you mean…”

“You have to know that on the day of the wedding when this matter is exposed, the first thing Shen Yue will do is to frame me. She will definitely act innocently and tell everyone that it’s me who steals the marriage from her. Even if the second branch knows the truth, in order to not make the Wang family their enemy, they will still say that it’s my doing. As for Old Madam Shen…” Shen Dongling sneered. “In her eyes, a concubine’s daughter is naturally not as important as the legitimate daughter. No matter what, I’m the one who will be sacrificed.”

A look of disbelief appeared on Xing Hua’s face as she said, “But Second Miss said that she would stand up for you and not let you take the blame…”

“Is Shen Yue such a kind-hearted person?” Shen Dongling shook her head and smiled. “Everyone in this family is selfish. If she was really so kind, she wouldn’t have asked me to marry in her place.”

“In that case,” Xing Hua asked, “Miss, are you still going to marry in her place? What if all the blame was pinned on you in the end?”

Shen Dongling smiled indifferently. “Don’t worry. Since I agreed to marry in her place, I naturally have made all the necessary preparations. Xing Hua, remember, everyone in the Shen family is like wolves, tigers, and leopards. It’s better to rely on yourself than on others. Fifth Sister made a good move to leave this place. Therefore, once I have the chance, I won’t be reluctant to leave here.”

Xing Hua nodded in understanding. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “Should we tell your mother about this?”

“There’s no need.” Shen Dongling shook her head. “My mother is timid and will definitely not agree. I’ll tell her after it becomes a done deal.”
