âIâm indignant! I hate him!â Chen Ruoqiuâs words were filled with deep hatred. Now that she looked haggard, her expression was sinister when she said that. Even Shen Yue was shocked.
Shen Yue said, âMother, what are you talking about?â
âYou know what happened, right?â Chen Ruoqiu gritted her teeth and said, âOver the years Iâm married to your father, I treated him wholeheartedly. I never wished that I could be his only wife, but I didnât expect him to humiliate me with someone like this. He even chased me out of the house and confronted my family in court, causing them to lose a huge amount of money. It was your father and Chang Zaiqing who forced me into such a desperate situation. Whatâs my reputation in the capital now? A hen that canât lay an egg? A jealous woman? This is what your father repays me with!â As Chen Ruoqiu spoke, she sneered and said, âAnd that old fart, Old Madam Shen. Ever since I married into the Shen family, she has been picking on me everywhere. She just canât stand others doing well. This time, she was the one who put Chang Zaiqing and your father together and urged them to do this. None of the people in the Shen family are good people!â
Shen Yue couldnât help but frown. She felt that Chen Ruoqiu looked like shrew cursing on the street. However, at the mention of the Shen family, at this moment, Shen Yue didnât have any feelings for them.
Chen Ruoqiu glanced at her and continued, âBack then, when your father asked you to marry Wang Bi, I thought that you wouldnât agree because you have someone else in your heart, but your father insisted, so I could only agree. It turns out that the Wang family is just an unreasonable bunch. They actually refused to acknowledge you after having Shen Dongling. Now, you even lost your own identity. They are really going too far! If your father cared about you, I think he would stand up for you. But look at what your father did. He actually wants you to apologize to the Wang family and be on equal footing with Shen Dongling. Why should you, the daughter of the Shen family, be on equal footing with a concubineâs daughter? Itâs simply the biggest joke in the world! Does he even treat you as his daughter!?â Chen Ruoqiuâs words were filled with provocation. Now that Chen Ruoqiu had nothing and no one was on her side, if her daughter was coaxed back by Shen Wan, she would really be alone.
When Shen Yue heard that, her expression darkened. It was not that she didnât have any feelings left for her father. What she hated the most about the Shen family was that although they said that they did everything for her own good, she was the one who suffered the most so far. Although Huangfu Hao treated her well, she was just a concubine after all. A concubine⦠Even if she was the Crown Princeâs concubine, she was still the lowest-grade concubine and could be abandoned at any time. However, Shen Yue sighed sadly and said, âMother, itâs impossible between Prince Ding and me. Iâm probably not fated to be with him.â As she spoke, she smiled sadly. âBesides, the Crown Prince treats me very well. I like him very much.â
Chen Ruoqiu knew her daughter the best, so how could she fail to notice the sorrow in Shen Yueâs eyes? Chen Ruoqiu was angry and heartbroken. Her daughter was so good, but why couldnât she get what she wanted? She took a deep breath and said, âThe Shen family harmed us to this extent. We canât take this lying down. Donât worry, I will definitely take revenge. None of them can escape. Now that Iâve been divorced and returned to my parentsâ house, I no longer have anything to do with the Shen family. Even if something happens to the Shen family, I will not be implicated. Youâre no longer Shen Yue, so youâll be safe too.â
