Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

Chapter 66: Not as Good as the East Palace

She had long known that Shen Yunlan was the Crown Prince's man, but even hearing him say it himself made her feel sad. He had already sided with the Crown Prince, and now that he had chosen her, she had no choice but to marry into the Eastern Palace.

Although she thought so, Shen Wanqing still held a glimmer of hope for Shen Yunlan. After all, she was his daughter, and even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. She didn't want to believe that her father would really push her into the fire pit.

Shen Wan cleared her mind and said in a cold voice: "It is impossible for my daughter to enter the East Palace. Please find someone else, Daddy."

"Your wings are strong now, you want to fly, right? But you can't." He said a lot of nice things, but he was still so tactless. Shen Yunlan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Pin down this ungrateful thing and punish him according to the family rules!"

The family discipline of the Hou Mansion was a long, thin cane, smooth and strong. If it hit someone, it would be enough to tear their skin and flesh apart.

Such a cruel family law was used, which showed that Shen Yunlan was really angry.

It's time to enforce the family rules, and Shen Wanxiu really can't just stand by and watch.

"Uncle, don't be impulsive!" Shen Wanxiu stood in front of Shen Wanqing. "Fourth sister is wrong and shouldn't disobey you, but she has been weak since childhood. If these canes are used, Fourth sister will definitely be killed. If something happens to her, it will be difficult to explain to the Queen and the Crown Prince, right?"

After Shen Wanxiu finished speaking, she pushed Shen Wanqing again, indicating that she should admit her mistake first, as a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him.

After hearing the family rules, her heart was completely chilled, and she no longer had any illusions about her parents.

Shen Yunlan is still the head of the Hou Mansion, and she will not have the advantage if she confronts him like this.

Shen Wanqing's tone softened, a smile on her face: "It's my fault that I'm ignorant. I hope Daddy will forgive me."

"It would be great if this could be done earlier. If only I could figure it out."

Seeing that she had surrendered, Shen Yunlan waved his hands in satisfaction at the servants, pretending to be a kind father.

Shen Wanqing lowered her head to hide the mockery in her eyes.

She whispered, "It's still too early to tell whether I can enter the Eastern Palace. Not to mention that the Empress has her eyes on more than just me, but now that my second sister is betrothed to the Second Prince, she's the most likely to become the Crown Princess. Now that I'm the only one left, I might not be the Crown Princess in the Empress's eyes."

The tone was gentle, but it sounded wrong. Shen Yunlan frowned.

"Do you have any other comments?"

"My daughter has no objection, but the Empress is not fond of her daughter. If she really had her eyes on me as the future Crown Princess, she would have struck while the iron was hot and asked for an imperial decree for the Crown Prince to grant the marriage when Du Zhijie asked the Emperor for it."

"That would be great, but it's not too late now." Shen Yunlan reacted, "You've said so much, you don't have any other ideas, do you?"

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became stern.

Even if the Queen falls in love with another girl, his daughter must enter the Eastern Palace. No one can change his mind.

Shen Wanqing shook her head. "What my daughter said is true. Father, think about it carefully. It's been so long, and the imperial decree for marriage hasn't been issued. Doesn't the Queen just look down on my daughter? She thinks my daughter can't be the Crown Princess. If she's just the Crown Princess, then she's no different from being a concubine. In the end, you'll be the one who suffers."

Shen Yunlan chose to stand on the side of the Crown Prince because he had ambitions long ago. How could he let his daughter only be a concubine? He wanted the title of Crown Princess.

I thought Su Yunlan's ambition would waver, but he didn't hesitate at all. He just snorted coldly, "Crown Princess is good, but if she's just a concubine, that's fine too. In any case, it's the Crown Prince and the Empress who chose her, so there's no need for you to use that as an excuse."

Shen Wanqing had never imagined that her father would be so flattering to the Crown Prince, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed: "If you are only a concubine, then my daughter will marry into the general's mansion as his wife!"

"You really don't know what's good for you!"

"Fourth sister, Daddy is doing this for your own good. How can you be so disobedient to Daddy and not admit your mistake to him?" Shen Wanru saw that the time was almost right and pushed Shen Wanqing.

Shen Wanqing was feeling annoyed, then she gave him a cold look, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred. Everything that had happened today was because of her.

What a disgusting thing.

Shen Wanru was frightened by Shen Wanqing's hateful eyes, so she ran to Shen Yunlan's side and whispered, "Since my sister has made up her mind, why not help her and Mr. Du get together!"

"She is ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"

Shen Yunlan was still angry and shouted, "You have nothing to do here, what are you doing here?"

Shen Wanru had never been scolded like this by her father. Her nails dug deep into her flesh and her eyes were filled with jealous anger.

What do you mean she is just joining in the fun? The position of Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace originally belonged to her. She should be the one admired by everyone. Why should she, Shen Wanqing, do that?

The thing she wanted so much was placed in front of Shen Wanqing, but she didn't care about it anymore. Since she didn't want it, why should she get it cheaply?

Shen Wanru feigned grievance and squeezed out two lines of tears, then knelt down and pleaded, "My sister has never asked for anything since she was young. Now that she has found the one she loves, Daddy, please grant her wish. It will be a wonderful story for lovers to finally get married."

"Nonsense!"

With Shen Wanru's joining, Shen Yunlan was really furious. He looked at Shen Wanqing with anger in his eyes, "Are you really not going to enter the East Palace?"

"I............"

Before Shen Wanqing could answer, she heard Shen Yunlan shout angrily, "You are all bastards. Since you are so foolish, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to reflect on your mistakes. Come out when you have figured it out."

He was so angry that he ordered people to drag Shen Wanqing and Shen Wanru away.

After being thrown into the ancestral hall, Shen Wanqing didn't even bother to look at Shen Wanru. If she got involved in anything, she would definitely end up in trouble.

Shen Wanru pleaded for mercy today, but she didn't think that Shen Wanru had changed her personality. Maybe she had some plan in mind, but she just didn't have a perfect plan and was reluctant to speak up. Now, she was directly implicated and sent to the ancestral hall.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Wanru looked up and saw her displeased look. She snorted coldly, "Daddy is right. You really don't know what's good for you. I helped you today, and not only are you ungrateful, but you're also looking at me like that."

"Oh, are you sure you are really helping me and not doing this for yourself?" Shen Wanqing was too lazy to make it clear.

Obviously, she was pleading for her, but her words implied that lovers would eventually get married, and she was not interested in the person she loved. Wasn't this obviously an attempt to frame her?

Do they really think she is stupid by smearing her reputation like this?

Shen Wanru stood up and said coldly: "No matter what, it was you who implicated me. I didn't bother with you, but you are unhappy. Shen Wanqing, you really don't know the rules. How can you be so rude when meeting your elder sister?"

Shen Wanqing didn't bother to pay attention to her. She had seen her unreasonableness and willfulness before. She just found a place to sit down. Instead of wasting time arguing with her, she thought of a solution.
