Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

Li Xinglan stretched his head to look in the corner, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and wondered in his heart, Minister of War Shen Qingyun?

Seeing him like that, Su Su no longer had the heart to tease him and just asked, "Do you really know him?"

Li Xinglan nodded, "Shen Jiaojiao's father."

What?! Upon hearing this, Su Su became anxious, "What did you do behind my back?"

Li Xinglan cried out in injustice, "What can I do?! Haven't I always been with you? Wang Xiaocui, I'm warning you, don't doubt my sincerity towards you!"

Shen Qingyun sat in the corner, watching the two of them playing around as if no one was around, with an expression of deep and sweet affection, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

This is the man Jiaojiao likes?! How confusing!

The incident happened two hours ago.

After the morning court session, Shen Qingyun had just returned home when he heard the housekeeper crawling in to report, "Master, something bad has happened! The eldest lady is upset again!"

Shen Qingyun was already worried to death about state affairs, and Shen Jiaojiao kept making trouble. He was filled with anger and said impatiently, "What did she do again!"

"The eldest lady...she...hanged herself today..." The housekeeper's guilty voice grew smaller and smaller. He quietly observed the master's expression and didn't dare to say more.

"This is simply nonsense!" Shen Qingyun didn't even have time to change his official uniform as he strode towards Jinxiu Courtyard.

Before he even got close, he heard his wife crying inside, "My darling, why are you so depressed?"

When Mrs. Shen turned around, she saw Shen Qingyun standing at the door with a dark face. She was startled and knew that this was a sign that he was really angry. She quickly opened her arms and protected her beloved daughter behind her.

"Qingyun, don't be angry..."

Shen Qingyun has always been tolerant of his first wife, and basically let her wishes prevail in all matters big and small. But this time he doesn't want to indulge her anymore.

He angrily accused her, "It's all your fault! Look at what you've spoiled her into!"

As he approached the bed, he saw Shen Jiaojiao lying weakly on it. She had lost a lot of weight during this period of time. Now there was a conspicuous circle of bruises on her neck, which made Shen Qingyun's head hurt.

"Jiaojiao really doesn't want to, so forget it..." Madam Shen still wanted to fight for her beloved. To be honest, Prince Han was really an eyesore.

Shen Qingyun snorted coldly, "Shen Jiaojiao, you have to marry me even if you don't want to! Daddy is doing this for your own good!"

"I said... I won't marry..." Shen Jiaojiao's throat was so tight and painful that her voice was hoarse. "When the nest is overturned, how... how can the eggs remain intact? Can I really escape the power struggle by marrying Prince Han..."

Shen Qingyun remained silent. He understood these principles, but no matter what, he had to give Jiaojiao a chance!

"Besides... I'm no longer a virgin. If Prince Han finds out, will I still be okay?"

These words undoubtedly pierced the hearts of Shen Qingyun and Madam Shen. This was the pain they had been avoiding and dared not face!

Madam Shen clutched her handkerchief, weeping bitterly. Shen Qingyun continued to say the same thing, "Then there will be an experienced old maid who will teach you how to conceal it!"

Shen Jiaojiao was furious after hearing this. She had tried every possible method, but why wouldn't he listen? Did she really have to die?!

"It's not just my body! My heart belongs to someone too! I won't marry anyone but him! If Daddy still forces me to marry someone I don't love, then I might as well die now!"

Seeing Shen Jiaojiao's firm attitude, Shen Qingyun was deeply surrounded by a sense of powerlessness. He looked at her and felt distressed.

After a while, he sighed deeply, as if giving in. "Who is that person? Is he interested in you?"

Not only Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect her father to suddenly relent, even Madam Shen didn't expect it, "Master is willing to consider other families?!"

Shen Qingyun nodded impatiently, "Tell me who that person is first!"

This question hit the nail on the head. Although a figure had appeared in her mind, Shen Jiaojiao herself was not sure and did not dare to recognize it.

She knew very well that her father would not admit it if she told him, so she had no choice but to keep silent.

Shen Qingyun had guessed about 80% of this attitude. He felt sorry for his daughter and was filled with anger. It seemed that the brat didn't recognize his feelings! This was simply outrageous!

Shen Qingyun flicked his sleeves, walked out the door angrily, and headed straight for the Fairy Tale House. Don't think that he doesn't know who that person is if you don't tell him!

Jiaojiao has always been close to Li Xinglan from the Fairy Tale House! She even mentions him all the time! It must be that brat!

Sitting in the corner of the fairy tale house, Shen Qingyun's face became darker and darker. He looked at Li Xinglan as if he wanted to tear him apart with his bare hands.

Although Li Xinglan was helpless, he had no choice but to face it. He took the initiative to walk towards Shen Qingyun and bowed politely, "Sir Shen, I wonder what brings you here?"

Shen Qingyun didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "I just want to ask you one question, are you willing to take responsibility for Jiaojiao?"

Huh? Responsible? Responsible for what? Li Xinglan looked puzzled. "Sir, Miss Shen and I are just ordinary friends. How can I be responsible?"

What a bastard! Shen Qingyun clenched his fingers tightly, wishing he could just punch the bastard in front of him!

Not only is he irresponsible, he also looks like a pretty boy! I'm afraid this small body can't withstand a punch from him!

He tried hard to control himself and lowered his voice, "Jiaojiao, I gave my body to you, how dare you deny it?!"

"What the hell?!" The two of them exclaimed almost at the same time. Su Su was standing two steps behind Li Xinglan, and she also heard it. It is not ruled out that Shen Qingyun intended her to hear it.

Behind the door curtain in the backyard, Fuling, Honeysuckle and Chuanzhu were eavesdropping, their heads stacked on top of each other. Because of the angle, Fuling and Honeysuckle, who were at the bottom, couldn't see Minister Shen's mouth shape clearly. Only Chuanzhu, who was the tallest, stretched his neck and translated word by word.

"Jiaojiao has given her body to you...how dare you deny it?" Chuanzhu repeated, "Wow, the young master is actually such a heartless man?"

Fuling and Rendong exchanged a look of disbelief. When did this happen?! Hadn't the Young Master always been fond of Little Master Su? They were practically inseparable!

Su Ling, who was sitting by the well picking vegetables, was stunned. He was the only one who could understand Li Xinglan's devastated mood at the moment. He felt like he was taking the blame.

The conversation was still going on. Shen Qingyun looked at Li Xinglan who was only busy explaining to Su Su, and his anger reached its peak.

Did he not care about Jiaojiao at all? Was he bullying the Shen family because they had no one?! Jiaojiao's willingness to marry this merchant was the lowest of lows, and yet he actually had the audacity to deny her!

Do you think that just because you're the son of the richest man and have the support of Prince Pingwu, you can do whatever you want?!

"Boy, I remember you have a younger brother in the military!" Shen Qingyun had lost his patience. He just hated his daughter for humiliating herself by insisting on marrying such a man!

But if the logic doesn't make sense, he doesn't mind using some tricks!

Upon hearing this, Li Xinglan's fake smile faltered. He hugged Su Su to prevent her from escaping, and looked at Shen Qingyun with a serious look, "Are you threatening me?"

Shen Qingyun's aura was already strong, and now he suddenly stood up, facing Li Xinglan, and the provocation in his words was not concealed, "So what?"
