Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Seeing that Shen Zhinian was as well-behaved as before, Zhou felt slightly satisfied.

Although Shen's father had always been indifferent to this concubine's daughter, he would not push his own biological daughter into the fire pit. Therefore, the husband he chose for Shen Zhinian was also very good.

Lu Jianglin is a talented man. After marrying into the Lu family, as long as he can endure the first few years of poverty, his life will be extremely comfortable after he graduates from high school.

But no matter what, it can't compare to being the emperor's woman!

Father Shen didn't know what had happened to his most beloved daughter that made her so stubborn that she gave up all the wealth and insisted on marrying Lu Jianglin!

He was annoyed by Shen Nanqiao's pleading and waved his hand impatiently to let them go.

Seeing the determination in Shen Nanqiao's eyes, Shen Zhinian slightly raised the corners of his lips, returned to his yard quietly, and waited quietly.

as predicted.

The day of the talent show was approaching, and Shen Nanqiao actually used a high-sounding attitude to convince her parents. Her marriage with Lu Jianglin was officially settled.

Shen Zhinian didn't know what means her father used to actually let her, a concubine's daughter, go into the palace for the selection instead of the legitimate daughter.

That was exactly what she wanted.

"Chinen, although you are a concubine, your mother and elder sister have never looked down on you because of this. Entering the palace and becoming His Majesty's concubine is something that many women dream of, but your elder sister gave this best opportunity to you."

"You must be grateful for the kindness of your mother and elder sister. Even if you are favored by His Majesty in the future, you must not forget the Shen family. Do you understand?"

Father Shen had never spoken to her with such a kind look.

Zhou also looked at Shen Zhinian with a loving face.

“Although Chinen didn’t come out of my belly, in my heart, she is no different from Nan Qiao.”

"If you can catch His Majesty's eye during the selection and have a good future, then my heart will finally be at ease!"

Looking at the two people's friendly expressions, Shen Zhinian sneered in his heart.

The father is indifferent.

Her stepmother was a hypocrite. For the sake of reputation, she never treated her, a concubine, harshly. But there were many ways to torture people in the harem, and Shen Zhinian had suffered countless soft blows since she was a child.

If she hadn't known how to conceal her shortcomings and be tolerant, her stepmother probably wouldn't have allowed her to grow up safely.

It was just that things were a foregone conclusion now, and there was no need to lose a good chess piece for nothing, so they were so kind to her.

It's just acting, who can't do that?

"My daughter remembers the teachings of her father and mother! But..."

Shen Zhinian bit her lip, her charming eyes showing some confusion about the road ahead and fear of the unknown.

"Those who enter the palace for selection are all legitimate daughters. My daughter is born out of wedlock, so it's not a big deal if she's blamed. If Your Majesty looks down on illegitimate daughters and wastes the opportunity that my father has worked so hard to secure for the Shen family, then it's my daughter's fault..."

She didn't care about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, believing that her fate was determined by herself, not by God. However, this was always the view of the world.

With the status of a legitimate daughter, her future path will be smoother.

Anyway, she is going to enter the palace for the selection, and her stepmother will never do anything to her again. On the contrary, the Shen family will treat her better than before.

She is not stupid, so why should she give up the opportunity to fight for her rights?

"Chinen has a point. I was not thoughtful enough. From now on, you will be registered under your mother's name and be considered as a legitimate child."

Shen Nanqiao frowned and objected.

"A woman from the Shen family should be as pure as a chrysanthemum. How can you scheme for the sake of your status as a legitimate daughter?"

Father Shen said in a deep voice: "Enough! Nothing is more important than the future of the Shen family. What Chinian said makes sense, so let's settle this!"

Zhou was already unhappy about the marriage exchange, and now she was even more unhappy, but she couldn't disobey Father Shen's wishes. Not only did she have to swallow her anger, but she also had to force a smile and agree in a friendly manner.

Shen Nanqiao looked disdainful and aloof, but she did not continue to stop him. She just regarded it as her compensation to Shen Zhinian, but she was still angry in her heart.

It was the first time that Shen Zhinian saw the mother and daughter being humiliated. He felt happy in his heart, but his face was still respectful.

"Yes."

In terms of appearance, Shen Nanqiao is actually prettier, but Shen Zhinian is like her biological mother, with a gentle temperament and natural charm. Whenever they appear at the same time, everyone's attention will definitely be attracted by Shen Zhinian.

Father Shen is also a man, and he knows that no man can refuse a woman with natural charm. She will definitely be chosen and win the emperor's favor!

To Shen's father, they were all his daughters anyway, so it didn't really make much difference who went to the talent show. He didn't mind showing more kindness at this time, so that Shen Zhinian would remember his kindness.

"Chinian, don't be nervous. Whether you are selected or not, you are still your father's beloved daughter. Your status as the eldest daughter of the Shen family will not change at all!"

Shen Zhinian rolled his eyes in his heart.

Her father talked a lot of nonsense, but he didn't give any practical benefits. It was just like when he tried to coax her aunt into becoming a concubine, all he said were empty promises, but none of them came true.

She agreed verbally, looking well-behaved and submissive, with admiration on her charming face, and then "inadvertently" revealed her frayed sleeves.

Shen's father was satisfied with her obedience, and Zhou also felt that she had Shen Zhinian under control, thinking that if she could successfully enter the palace, she would be able to help the family in the future. The two of them immediately waved their hands and rewarded Shen Zhinian with many good things.

Among them were several valuable pieces of jewelry, which were Shen Nanqiao’s dowry from her previous life, and Shen Zhinian had no chance of touching them.

Thinking of the abundant private treasury, the smile on Shen Zhinian's face finally became more genuine.

She doesn't want flattery, she only wants real benefits!

If you can get real money in return by saying a few nice words, why not do it?

Shen Nanqiao's face looked a little ugly. As soon as she went out, she was surrounded by maids and old women and stopped in front of Shen Zhinian.

"Sister, do you think that since you can enter the palace for selection and your parents have given you so many good things, you will be able to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix?"

At this point, Shen Nanqiao looked at her with a meaningful look.

"Even if you are selected, what does the temporary glory mean? You don't know what the future will bring..."

Shen Zhinian pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What does your sister mean by this?"

Seeing her confused look, Shen Nanqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he was the only one who was reborn.

In this life, it is finally her turn to become a first-rank lady. A woman like Shen Zhinian who is full of calculations should just wait for a tragic death in the deep palace!

"It's nothing special. I just gave you this great opportunity. You must seize it!"

Shen Nanqiao smiled as elegantly as a chrysanthemum and left happily with her servants.

Shen Zhinian looked at her back, a teasing smile flashed in his eyes, and the submissiveness just now was no longer there.

Hehehe... let's see if their fates are reversed in this life and whether the eldest sister can live a prosperous life in the Lu family!
