Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Under Si Jingnian's surprised and puzzled gaze, Shen Qingyao put a few drops of eye drops into her eyes and rubbed her eyes until they were red.

"Let's go! Let's go out and act."

Si Jingnian probably already knew what Shen Qingyao was going to do, and he felt a little expectant.

Upon arriving at the gate, Shen Qingyao composed herself before having the servant open it.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Qingyao went out with red eyes, looking timid and cautiously glancing at Shen Wenzhong.

"Qingyao, it's really not easy for Daddy to see you."

Shen Yuanyuan wanted to directly accuse Shen Qingyao of not letting them in, but when her gaze fell on Si Jingnian behind Shen Qingyao, she swallowed her words.

But Shen Qingyao didn't even glance at her, and walked straight toward Shen Wenzhong.

Seeing this, Cui Jingru was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder. She was also furious at Shen Yuanyuan's incompetence.

“Yuanyuan, what are you saying? Miss Qingyao is now the young marshal’s wife. We are just ordinary people, so it’s naturally very difficult for us to see her.”

Cui Jingru said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, her gaze falling on Shen Yuanyuan, who was staring at Si Jingnian with a lovesick expression. Countless schemes flashed through her mind in an instant.

However, before she could even begin to use any of her schemes, she found Shen Qingyao standing right in front of her, and without a word, she raised her hand and slapped her.

"Shen Qingyao! What are you doing? Don't you even respect me as your father?"

Shen Wenzhong was furious and was about to raise his hand to strike back when he saw Si Jingnian behind Shen Qingyao. He could only suppress his impulse unwillingly.

But with so many people around, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reprimand Shen Qingyao to save face.

"And what about you? She's just a mistress you keep on the side, yet you've hurt me time and time again for her sake. Do you even care about me, your own daughter?"

"I was lost for twenty years and finally returned home, but you have wronged and pressured me time and time again for the sake of an adopted daughter. You forced me to give up my marriage contract to her and forced me to give her the good things. I am treated worse than a servant in your Shen family. You even want to kick me out of the house."

"In the end, in order for an adopted daughter to marry into the Pei family, you actually went so far as to marry me off to the young marshal's mansion to bring him good luck. Is this how you act as a father?"

Shen Qingyao screamed at Shen Wenzhong with all her might, tears instantly streaming down her face.

"Ask any parent in the world how many would be willing to marry their own daughter off to someone to bring good luck? Fortunately, Marshal Si finally woke up, and my life finally got better. But what about you? You keep disturbing my life and ruining my happiness. You let Shen Yuanyuan get close to Si Jingnian again and again. You know best why!"

Shen Qingyao looked sad and upset, and her voice was trembling with tears.

But every time tears were about to fall, Shen Qingyao stubbornly raised her hand and wiped them away.

Hearing Shen Qingyao's heartbroken question, the way people looked at Shen Wenzhong and Shen Yuanyuan changed.

"I knew it! When the young marshal was on the verge of death, he only woke up after marrying a daughter of the Shen family to bring him good luck."

"The young marshal's wife is right. How could parents who truly love their daughters let them marry into a family to bring good luck?"

"The Shen family actually degraded their own biological daughter like this for the sake of an adopted daughter. It's truly an eye-opener."

"That adopted daughter is really good at manipulating people; she has the whole family wrapped around her little finger."

"You could tell from her crying and sobbing just now that she's very cunning."

"Judging from what you're saying, it seems that now that the young marshal has woken up, he wants to replace his biological daughter with his adopted daughter."

How can there be such shameless parents and adopted daughter in the world?

"..."

The surrounding chatter made Shen Yuanyuan's face turn extremely ugly, and Shen Wenzhong also frowned angrily.

"Qingyao, you've misunderstood. I didn't... I'm not like that..."

Shen Yuanyuan's tears fell easily, and her gentle and weak appearance made her look pitiful.

Shen Qingyao glanced coldly at Shen Yuanyuan and let out a few sarcastic laughs.

"Later I found out that she wasn't an adopted daughter at all; she was actually your illegitimate daughter with this bastard woman, Cui Jingru!"

"Tell me, everyone, how could such a coincidence happen? The biological daughter of the legal wife and the illegitimate daughter of a mistress were switched at birth."

Shen Qingyao looked at Shen Wenzhong with a mocking yet hurt expression. Before her tears could fall, she wiped them away with her hand.

"Yes, the illegitimate daughter and the legal wife's daughter were switched. What a coincidence! The phone must have been tampered with."

"Who can argue with that! There are actually fathers like that in this world."

"How shameless!"

"They've taken over the position of someone's legitimate daughter and are bullying her like this. This illegitimate daughter and this wild woman are equally shameless, utterly shameless!"

"That's it!"

"..."

She looked so broken that everyone around her felt sorry for her.

Although Si Jingnian knew that Shen Qingyao was acting, he also knew that these were her deepest grievances and hurts.

Looking at Shen Qingyao, who seemed to be broken, he felt a tightness and pain in his heart, and his eyes welled up with tears.

When Shen Wenzhong, Cui Jingru, and Shen Yuanyuan heard Shen Qingyao's accusations, a look of panic flashed across their faces.

"No...no..."

Shen Yuanyuan shook her head with tears in her eyes, wanting to explain but not knowing how to defend herself.

“Miss Qingyao, who told you this? It’s all baseless. How could Miss Yuanyuan be my daughter? You’ve misunderstood.”

Cui Jingru calmed down faster than Shen Yuanyuan and immediately denied her relationship with Shen Yuanyuan.

She knew that she absolutely could not admit her relationship with Shen Yuanyuan now, let alone admit that they had plotted to switch Shen Qingyao and Shen Yuanyuan.

"Yes, Qingyao, you've misunderstood. Yuanyuan is just... just an adopted daughter of the Shen family. How could she be Dad's biological daughter? Don't listen to other people's nonsense."

Shen Wenzhong swallowed hard, and his attitude changed, but the guilty look in his eyes did not escape Shen Qingyao's notice.

"Is that so? In that case, why not let Shen Yuanyuan go back to her own home, remove her name from the Shen family genealogy, and announce to the outside world that from now on, Shen Yuanyuan has no further connection with the Shen family."

"no!"

"How can that be done!"

As soon as Shen Qingyao finished speaking, Shen Wenzhong and Cui Jingru both refused.

Their actions were obvious to those around them, and those who had been skeptical just moments before now looked at them with extreme disgust and contempt.

It's hard to believe that there's a father like this in the world, who actually switched the daughter born to his legal wife with his illegitimate daughter.

Not only that, he also abandoned the daughter born to his legal wife. Even if he liked that illegitimate daughter very much, the one he abandoned was still his own daughter.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so Shen Wenzhong's actions are worse than those of an animal.
