The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

"Aunt, my sister just framed me yesterday for something she had made up, and today you did this. Could this also be related to you?"

Shen Tangan looked at her with a face full of grievance, implying that Shen Qingwan was also taught by her, and the mother and daughter were of the same character, both wanting to take advantage of her.

"Miss, please stop spitting blood at me!"

Zheng widened her eyes and raised her voice, fearing that Shen Jiyuan might misunderstand her. She immediately turned around and explained to him in a gentle voice.

"My Lord, I went to bed early yesterday. This morning I learned that Wan'er had offended the eldest lady, so I hurried here to apologize. Who knew that the eldest lady missed me so much? It really made me sad."

"Don't push your luck! Yao Niang is an elder, she shouldn't apologize to you."

Shen Jiyuan frowned and looked at her with some hostility.

She even dared to disobey her father, so how could she treat Yao Niang sincerely? Wasn't she just pretending for him?

She is so scheming that she almost fooled him. Now she is telling lies without hesitation. It's not like she has never seen such unreasonable behavior before.

"Father, as an official appointed by the court, you should know the crime of favoring a concubine and destroying a wife."

Shen Tangan shook her handkerchief and put it away, without a single tear on her face. It seemed that pretending to be pitiful was not suitable for her.

Shen Jiyuan's face darkened, "Are you threatening your father?"

"Miss, what are you talking about? The Marquis only feels pity for my miserable life, so he has a little more love for me and my daughter. Miss, please don't misunderstand me.

Madam is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, a daughter of a noble family, and I am just a poor person floating on the water. It is only because of Madam’s mercy that I can stay in the mansion to take care of the Marquis. How dare I compete with Madam?”

Zheng was horrified and rushed forward to beg, but her words were not sincere at all and were full of provocation.

"I hope you won't hold it against me. It's all my fault. Madam, please give me and my daughter a chance to live!"

After saying this, she was about to kneel down, but Shen Jiyuan stepped forward and grabbed her, furious.

"This mansion belongs to me. I will treat whoever I want to treat well. When will it be your turn to discipline a junior?"

He was obviously angered by Shen Tangan's words, and Zheng took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, making his anger burn even more fiercely, and he even seemed to want to punish her.

Shen Tangan smiled faintly, not afraid of his questioning at all.

Zheng spoke in a humble manner, describing herself as miserable and pathetic, and deliberately flattering and elevating her mother and the Lin family behind her mother.

Because she knew that this was her father's Achilles' heel. He hated it most when people mentioned the Lin family, as if the Lin family had disappeared and his career, which was supported by his grandfather, was something he had worked hard for himself.

He was afraid of the Lin family, so he hated her and her mother.

He favored Zheng because there he could obtain his rights as the head of the family and his inexplicable self-esteem as a man could be satisfied.

The more incompetent a man is, the more he will act like a bully at home.

Shen Jiyuan is the typical example!

"Father, you also know that my mother is gentle and generous, and has a very mild temperament. She usually turns a blind eye to what you do, and she won't care about it, nor will she bother to pay attention.

But I am different. You often say that I am arrogant and domineering, but has Father ever seen me being arrogant once? "

Shen Tangan had a smile on his face, and even his voice was light, without any anger or annoyance.

Shen Jiyuan frowned, subconsciously thinking about the past.

Push Wan'er into the water?

Deliberately causing Wan'er to get hurt?

Disrespectful to Yao Niang?

Every time she left Yao Niang, she would cry and complain, but would not tell him the reason when asked in detail. Naturally, he would think that he was bullied by her.

But she and Yao Niang were the most harmonious when they were together. Many times he was puzzled, but he was too lazy to think about it.

As for the matter of hurting Wan'er, although Wan'er always said it had nothing to do with her, he still punished Shen Tang'an.

Now that she has reminded me, I can't find any conclusive evidence of a direct connection.

"Miss, you misunderstood the Marquis. He didn't mean that."

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Zheng quickly began to explain for him, and while speaking she grabbed his arm and shook it.

"My Lord, please explain to the young lady that you have never misunderstood her."

Shen Jiyuan suddenly came back to his senses, and after hearing her words, his expression, which had just relaxed, turned cold again. How could he have wronged her? It was because she had done so many embarrassing things.

"Why should I explain to her? You are a spoiled child in the capital, and now you dare to say that I misunderstood you?"

"Do not."

Shen Tangan smiled.

"You misunderstood me. I meant that Father only knew that I was rude, but had never seen anything like it, right?"

The two people opposite were stunned for a moment. Shen Jiyuan had a hunch that she was up to no good and couldn't help but be alert.

"What do you want to say?"

Shen Tangan did not answer, but took a step forward to face Zheng with a gentle tone.

"Aunt, I heard that every time I left you, you would cry secretly. I don't know what I did to make you so sad. Could it be that you don't want me to leave? Or is it..."

She slowly stopped laughing and her tone turned cold.

"Are you deliberately putting on a show for your father?"

No wonder her father would always punish her for no reason every time she came back from Lihuayuan. She didn't know the reason before, but now seeing her acting so flawlessly and putting the blame on others so skillfully, she now understands.

"Miss, I don't understand what you mean."

Zheng glanced at Shen Jiyuan in panic. Would the Marquis believe what this bitch said?

"It doesn't matter. I don't know why you cried before, but..."

Shen Tangan stretched out his voice, curved his eyes and smiled sweetly at her, but the next moment the smile faded and a slap followed.

"what!"

Zheng screamed in fear and hid backwards.

But the slap did not land for a long time. He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was caught by Shen Jiyuan.

There was a flash of relief and pride in her eyes. It was really unexpected that she dared to take action in front of the Marquis, but it was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing how eloquent he was just now, she was still a little wary, fearing that the Marquis would be shaken and become suspicious of her. Now it seems that Shen Tangan is really hopelessly stupid.

Shen Jiyuan's face turned livid, and he almost crushed her wrist, with rage in his eyes.

He didn't take him seriously at all. He dared to beat people in front of him and bullied Yao Niang and her daughter behind their backs.

"Shen Tangan, you are absolutely lawless. How dare you beat my stepmother in front of me!"

"Father, when I get rude, I won't recognize any relatives."

Shen Tangan didn't show any panic at all about being caught, and there was still a smile on his face.

Suddenly, he swung his left hand and slapped Zheng in the face when no one was paying attention.

Zheng's eyes widened, her eyeballs almost popped out, and she fell to the ground with a scream.

While Shen Jiyuan was distracted, the silver needle pierced his numb point, causing half of his body to become numb instantly, and his right hand broke free.

She said she had a bad temper, so how could these people be so defenseless?

Zheng had been spreading rumors about her arrogance, and Shen Jiyuan always took the opportunity to scold and punish her.

Today is the retribution for both of them!

If anyone said she was domineering, she would live up to her reputation and let them see how kind and lovely she was in the past.
