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

When Shen Qingwan learned about the rumors outside the Marquis's mansion that she was a concubine's daughter, she was instantly furious.

The raging fire seemed to be able to burn everything around it to ashes.

Her first reaction was to rush to Shen Tangan like a mad lion, aggressively and hastily.

The originally pretty and delicate face now became hideous and distorted due to extreme anger. The pair of beautiful eyes that were originally lively were now wide open like copper bells. The suspicion and resentment that spewed out of the eyes seemed to be able to turn into tangible sharp arrows.

Her steps were as quick as the wind, and her skirt swayed violently with her swift steps, like water plants in the turbulent waves, fluttering randomly and without any rules.

The pearls and jade on her bun swayed wildly with her violent movements, colliding with each other, making a series of rapid and crisp sounds, as if playing a prelude to the impending conflict.

Shen Qingwan rushed into Shen Tangan's yard regardless of anything, pushed away the maid who tried to stop her at the door, and rushed into the house like a whirlwind.

His chest heaved violently with anger, he gasped for breath, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Shen Tangan, are you the one who plotted behind my back and planned all this to maliciously slander me?"

The sharp and piercing voice trembled with anger, as if it was going to shake the beams of the house. The whole house seemed to be filled with her anger that was about to explode, making people feel extremely depressed and nervous.

Shen Tangan sneered and looked up at her without any fear.

"Sister, you know what you did, and now you are questioning me? As the saying goes, truth cannot be hidden. Is your sister so angry because she feels guilty?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingwan's eyes widened in anger, veins popped out on her forehead, and she shouted angrily, "You are talking nonsense! I am innocent, there is nothing to hide! You must be jealous and deliberately making trouble and spreading rumors!"

Shen Tangan stood up slowly, looking calm and composed, and said slowly and steadily: "Sister, please don't get excited. If you behave properly, why would you be afraid of these rumors? It's your sister who is so flustered that it makes people feel guilty."

Shen Qingwan laughed in anger and shouted sharply, "You are so good, Shen Tangan, you are so confusing right and wrong and making up lies! I will ask my father to do justice for me and clear my name!"

Shen Tangan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "Go ahead, sister. After all, your relationship with my aunt as a concubine is something that my father must know better than anyone else."

Shen Qingwan heard this, her eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth, "Don't be so arrogant, it's too early to get carried away! You are jealous of the prince marrying me, so you planned this!"

"Sister... No, I should call you sister. After all, you are half a year older than me."

Shen Tangan covered his lips and laughed, then turned to look at her and his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Zheng used so many schemes and tricks behind the scenes to marry into the Marquis's mansion, and as her daughter, how could you be completely innocent? Zheng is a concubine, and you are a concubine's daughter. Everyone in the capital knows about this, and it is useless for you to come here and complain to me."

Shen Qingwan was so angry that her whole body was shaking, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them burst out.

"Shen Tangan, don't go too far! My aunt and I have been very careful and cautious in the Marquis' Mansion all these years, and we have never made any mistakes. Now you are so unreasonable, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"

Shen Tangan snorted coldly, "God's punishment? I'm afraid you must be joking. If you really want to get to the bottom of what you and your daughter did, it's probably not just a small storm now."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. It turned out that it was Lin who came with a group of maids.

"What are you arguing about? How disgraceful!"

Lin's face was solemn, and her eyes swept over Shen Tangan and Shen Qingwan.

Shen Qingwan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and ran over to cry.

"Mother, you have to do justice for me! My sister has slandered me and my aunt, falsely accusing me of being concubines. Mother, you know that my aunt and I were able to enter the Marquis' Mansion because of your kindness. How could it be like the rumors outside?"

Lin asked Shen Tangan, "An'er, what on earth is going on?"

She heard a commotion in the mansion early in the morning, and rushed over out of concern for Shen Tangan. Unexpectedly, she saw Shen Qingwan making a scene as soon as she arrived.

Hearing her calling her mistress and slandering her, she became even more curious about what was going on outside. She hadn't had time to ask anyone, and she had a hunch that this matter was related to An'er.

"Mother."

Shen Tangan stepped forward to support her and told her the whole story in detail and in an orderly manner.

My mother will know about this sooner or later, and perhaps it will be difficult for her to accept it for a while.

After hearing this, Lin frowned slightly, "Qingwan, I will investigate this matter myself. Zheng has been sent to the Buddhist temple, you should go back and pray for her now. If you and your daughter have been wrongly accused, I will give you justice, but if not..."

Her eyes turned cold. She thought that her love with Shen Jiyuan was over, but she didn't expect that he had already raised Zheng outside the house before she became pregnant with An'er. Shen Qingwan was actually half a year older than An'er.

Is this playing her like a fool?

She had devoted herself to the Marquis' Mansion for so many years, but it turned out that she was just making wedding dresses for others!

Shen Qingwan's face turned pale, "Mother, I..."

"Okay, I will take care of this matter myself and send the second young lady back."

Lin waved her hand without giving her a chance to explain.

Shen Qingwan didn't dare to say anything more and could only leave in anger, glaring at them hatefully before leaving.

The mother and daughter deliberately framed her and her mother, and teamed up with her father to send her mother to a Buddhist temple.

When she marries the prince, she will make them pay with blood!

Lin took Shen Tangan's hand and returned to her room.

"An'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Lin looked at Shen Tangan with heartache.

Shen Tangan shook her head gently. Her mother was much stronger than she thought.

"Mother, you are obviously the saddest one. Don't be sad for father. People like him are not worth it."

The mother is the one who feels the most wronged, yet she still has to turn around and comfort her.

Lin sighed, "It was mother who failed to protect you. But don't worry, mother won't let the mother and daughter continue to do evil in the mansion."

Shen Tangan held Lin's hand, "Mother, I believe in you."

Lin originally didn't want to be in charge of the affairs of the mansion anymore, but after this incident, she decided to take back the power of housekeeper.

She knew very well that if she continued to leave it alone, who knows how many more troubles would arise, and the Marquis' Mansion would be disturbed by those with ulterior motives.

Lin acted decisively and quickly put the affairs of the mansion into order.

She first reorganized the accounts of the mansion and found some deficits that were embezzled by Zheng's mother and daughter. Then, she redeployed the servants in the mansion and eliminated those who colluded with Zheng's mother and daughter one by one.

Under her strict management, the atmosphere in the marquis's mansion took on a new look.

The servants worked more carefully and seriously, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
