"Since you know your craftsmanship is not good, don't be embarrassed."

When she thought that Shen Xian had been feeling sad for a while because of the person in front of her, Shi Ling's look at her was no longer friendly.

Said: "Your second sister is kind-hearted, but I am cruel. If you offend me, you will have no chance to speak."

Shi Ling walked around her and was about to leave. Shen Yao hurriedly turned around to look at him and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, I... I just want to see you well. I don't want to earn anything with my sister, I just..."

Shi Ling didn't even want to hear what she said, so he just let A Feng ride away.

Shen Yao could no longer speak. Her hands holding the pastry plate tightened secretly, and her tears fell on the pastry. It was so pitiful that the guard at the door would have pityed her if he hadn't seen the whole process.

She is actually being courteous to her soon-to-be brother-in-law. A concubine is a concubine and cannot be brought to light.

When Shen Yao was about to go back, she saw Ye Zhen with a gloomy face as soon as she entered the house. She was so frightened that the pastry plate in her hand fell to the ground with a crash. The pastry shattered and the plate fell into pieces.

Ye Zhen said sharply: "Shen Yao, what were you doing just now?"

Shen Yao lowered her head in panic and tried to explain: "I...don't get me wrong, aunt, I just met the prince so late and sent my second sister back, so she must have not eaten, so..."

Ye Zhen glanced at the cakes on the ground with disdain.

He walked up, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and said sarcastically: "It's been a while since I came back, but why haven't I learned anything? I've learned all those dirty tricks from your mother, haven't I?"

Shen Yao shook her head in fear.

"I don't have...my aunt, I really don't have..."

"I don't want to find a marriage for you. It turns out that I have fallen in love with someone else's husband."

Shen Yao gritted her teeth.

The marriage partners that Ye Zhen found for her were nothing more than rich merchants or poor people from poor families. Her mother would not allow her to marry at a low age.

Besides, she herself didn't want to.

Ye Zhen stared at her fiercely.

No matter what the two of them do, she doesn't care, but if she wants to attack her daughter, she can no longer be blind.

"It seems that the Duke's palace can't accommodate you anymore. My aunt will definitely find a marriage for you someday, so don't worry about things that shouldn't be yours."

Shen Yao's red eyes looked at Ye Zhen in disbelief. She knelt down suddenly and reached out to pull Ye Zhen's dress. She shook her head and cried: "My dear mother, Yao'er doesn't want to get married..."

"Are you unwilling to marry or are you unwilling to marry someone else?"

Shen Yao was speechless and just kept crying.

Zhong Yuan just returned from reminiscing with his friends. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ye Zhen scolding Shen Yao. Shen Yao was kneeling on the ground, crying and aggrieved, which made him feel heartbroken.

He hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and even complained to Ye Zhen: "This is the door of the house, let people see it, how will Yaoer get married in the future?"

Ye Zhen's angry eyes glared at him.

"Your daughter doesn't want to get married."

"Dad, Yao'er doesn't want to marry the husband my aunt has chosen for me. Yao'er really doesn't want to marry... Please dad, don't let Yao'er go..."

After listening to her words, Zhong Yuan suddenly frowned: "What kind of husband did you choose for her? Although she is a concubine, she is still my daughter, so she can't marry someone bad!"

Ye Zhen laughed in anger and mocked: "Who is worse than us who cannot marry? Are we Ruan Ruan? Where can I go to find you another Prince Xuan? Or do you want us two daughters of the Shen family to serve one husband together?"

Zhong Yuan was stunned for a moment, his old face stiffened.

That's not what he meant.

Ye Zhen suddenly became excited, pointed at him and shouted: "Zhongzhong Yuan! You betray me, but I will never let my daughter go my way!"

After saying that, he stared at Shen Yao with red eyes: "I am your aunt, and you must marry whoever I say you marry!"

Shen Yao looked helplessly at Zhong Yuan, who wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Zhen's eyes.

After Ye Zhen left, Zhongzhong Yuan knelt down and helped her up.

"Dad, I don't want to marry them."

Zhong Yuan: "The families your aunt-in-law chose for you are all good, and you were also the head wife and mistress when you married, so they won't treat you badly."

"But..."

Zhongzhong Yuan didn't want to talk anymore. He felt that it was ridiculous for him to argue with Ye Zhen over Shen Yao, and he could not let Ye Zhen suffer anymore.

Shen Yao watched helplessly as her father, the only one who could make decisions for her, left.

The seed of unwillingness in her heart grew faster and faster, and her already inferior heart became more twisted, tortured by a sore taste.

Why can the second sister marry someone like King Xuan, but she can only choose to marry from a low-income family? She is indeed not as good as the second sister, but if she hadn't been sent away for so many years, maybe she wouldn't be even close to Shen Xian !

She is said to be a young lady from the Shen family, but who in the entire Guogong Mansion really regards her as a young lady?

Everyone is looking at the faces of Ye Zhen and Shen Xian. Even Zhong Yuan, the father, is cowardly and incompetent and dare not interfere in the affairs of the back house. No one has ever taken her and her mother seriously.

Her mother was right.

People like them have to fight for whatever they want.

-

Shen Xian only sobered up completely in the afternoon of the next day. As soon as she woke up, she was called over by Ye Zhen.

She thought that Ye Zhen would have to lecture her about being drunk again, so she knocked on the door in fear and went in. She saw that Ye Zhen had been playing with her things and seemed not to have noticed her, so she just stood in the room obediently.

Until she heard Ye Zhen sigh, Shen Xian suddenly raised her head: "Mother?"

Ye Zhen called her over.

Shen Xian sat opposite her.

"What's wrong, mother?"

Ye Zhen: "I'm going to send Shen Yao away and marry her to a merchant in the west of the city. Although she has no official position or salary, her family is rich, she won't suffer any hardship and she is a legitimate wife. What do you think?"

Shen Xian's first reaction was dissatisfaction. Although she didn't like Shen Yao now, she didn't want to use her daughter's marriage as punishment.

Immediately he said: "Mom, this marriage is too low. After all, A-Yao is also a girl from the Shen family."

Ye Zhen's face turned ugly: "Lo? Then who does she want to marry? Her status is neither high nor low. If Gao marries a high-ranking official, do you think she can be a legitimate wife? In other words, she can be a concubine like her mother!"

"What's wrong with finding a low-income family to be your first wife?"

Shen Xian felt that it made some sense. It was much better to be a wife by herself than to be a concubine in a high-level courtyard.

So he said: "What do you think A Yao said?"

Ye Zhen glanced at her for a few times and sighed: "She? She is very ambitious. She has set her sights on you. I won't be so arrogant if you can let her enter Prince Xuan's palace."

Shen Xian's face turned cold.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yao was so obvious that even her mother could see it.

"I think my mother won't really harm her, so I'll just do what she wants."

Ye Zhen nodded.

"I'll mention it after you enter Prince Xuan's Mansion, otherwise I'm afraid that little girl will have some thoughts that she shouldn't have."

She really hated Aunt Wei and Shen Yao, but in the final analysis, Shen Zhongyuan was also at fault for this matter, so she immediately decided that Shen Zhongyuan would sleep in the study by himself tonight.
