Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

Shen Chuning's coming-of-age ceremony had not yet ended when a servant suddenly came running to report that Wang Haiquan and Song had come to visit!

When Shen Qinghe heard this, his face instantly darkened.

Their Shen family values the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. He had previously asked Shen Chengliu to send invitations to Wang Haiquan and Huang. However, this morning, Wang Haiquan suddenly sent someone over, claiming that there was an urgent matter at home and he was unable to get away to attend the banquet.

Now that the banquet was almost over, Wang Haiquan showed up with his concubine.

Shen Qinghe saw his aggressive and arrogant look, and it was obvious that he was here to cause trouble. How could he not be angry?

But Shen Qinghe is a man who understands the overall situation after all. Today is a big day for his precious daughter, and he absolutely cannot let such an ungrateful person disrupt the occasion.

So he suppressed his anger, quickly put a smile on his face again, and walked towards the central hall to greet the visitor.

He said, "Sir Wang, I originally thought you wouldn't be able to come today. I never thought you would rush here at this moment. I believe you have already taken care of your family affairs, right?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Haiquan turned a deaf ear to Shen Qinghe's polite words, and didn't even bother to look at him. Without saying a word, he raised his leg and rushed straight in.

Seeing this, the servants and guards of the Shen family rushed forward to stop them, but Wang Haiquan was strong and powerful, and he kicked one of them to the ground with one kick. The man was immediately kicked all over the place and looked miserable.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghe could no longer hold back his expression.

His face was filled with rage, and his voice was like thunder as he roared, "Wang Haiquan, don't be so shameless!"

Wang Haiquan stopped dead in his tracks upon hearing the sound, his eyes bloodshot. Like an enraged beast, he pointed a finger at himself and demanded, "Do you want to be ashamed of me? I'd like to ask you honestly, where did you, the Shen family, hide my son?"

Shen Qinghe's face showed a puzzled look, his brows slightly furrowed, and he responded, "Master Wang, what you said is ridiculous. My Shen family only invited you and Madam Wang. As for other people in the mansion, we really didn't invite them. We really don't know anything about your son's affairs."

As he spoke, he glanced at Song beside him.

Song had already broken down in tears. She sobbed and interrupted, "My Chang'er entered your governor's office three days ago, but there has been no news since then, and his life or death is unknown! Yet you keep saying you know nothing about this matter. How can I believe you?"

Shen Qinghe couldn't help but frown and turned his gaze to Shen Qi beside him. Shen Qi also had a confused look on his face and shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know the reason.

So, Shen Qinghe calmed himself down and slowly explained, "Anyone who enters the Governor's Office will be noticed and recorded by the gatekeepers and the maids. However, as far as I know, your son has never entered this office through the main gate."

After hearing this, Wang Haiquan turned to look at Song beside him.

Song seemed a little uneasy at this moment, and stammered, "This... this is actually because there's a shameless little whore in your house. She... she took a fancy to my Chang'er and secretly left the door open for him at night, allowing Chang'er to meet her at night. It was that little whore who led Chang'er in, so that he could avoid the gatekeeper."

Shen Qinghe frowned, feeling somewhat displeased, but he still managed to suppress his temper and spoke slowly, "Inner house matters like these have always been handled by the women. If there truly is a little maidservant who is ignorant of her own limitations and has no eyes, and dares to do something so disrespectful to the family, I will give the Wang family a satisfactory explanation after my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony."

He spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, but Song on the side did not buy it.

Her eyebrows were raised, and she shouted angrily, "Humph! Don't think you can get away with just pushing a maid out. The one who seduced my Chang'er is clearly your daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghe's expression instantly darkened. He stared at Song with a pair of sharp eyes and said coldly, "You can eat as much as you want, but you must never speak without thinking! There is only one young lady like An Ning in this huge mansion. Song, you better think carefully before you speak!"

Faced with Shen Qinghe's questioning, Song felt a little guilty at first and looked a little flustered.

But when she thought about the fact that this matter concerned her son's lifelong affairs, she became tough again.

She stiffened her neck and shouted, "Who said Miss Shen Chuning is the only one here? So many famous ladies have moved into your Shen Mansion recently, and one of them even seduced my Chang'er!"

As the words came out, Song seemed to feel that she was more and more right, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

She secretly thought that in a love affair like this between a man and a woman, no matter what the truth was, as long as the woman's reputation could be ruined, she would most likely marry into the Wang family obediently.

As she spoke, she loudly called out to Wang Hongchang's personal servant.

This servant was the one who sprinkled perfume powder on the woman.

When he was called to come forward, the boy was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs trembled. He shivered for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Song cursed inwardly: "What a useless waste!"

However, she quickly adjusted her mood, turned to look at Shen Qinghe again, and said in a firm tone: "Sir Shen, you just need to gather all the young ladies in the mansion and let my servants identify them. Naturally, we can find the little bitch who seduced Chang'er."

Faced with the Song family's unreasonable request, Shen Qinghe was furious and scolded them harshly, "You are making such a false accusation without any evidence. You even brought a lowly servant to my house to slander the innocence of the girls. Do you really think that there is no one in our Shen family? Don't you think about who you are first?"

Wang Haiquan stood aside, already filled with rage because of Shen Qinghe's merciless rebuke.

Hearing these angry curses, he became even more furious and lost his mind in an instant.

You know, ever since he became the governor, he had been very successful in officialdom because of his status as the son-in-law of the Prime Minister Huang. No one had ever dared to disrespect him like he did today.

Even though Huang Xiang has retired and returned to his hometown, after so many years of operation, he has already established a firm foothold in Shandong.

Who had ever dared to humiliate him in public like this?

Thinking of this, Wang Haiquan's eyes widened into bloodshot, his face flushed red, and he rushed towards the backyard without caring about anything, like an enraged beast.

He was still shouting, "If you don't hand my son over today, you Shen family can't even think about continuing this banquet!"
