Chapter 2277: Mission 8

Shen Chengwang struggled to express his thoughts.

Originally, he had intended to reprimand Shen Lianxue. He hadn’t anticipated that her last statement would directly implicate the Shen family. When it came to the Shen family, what else could he say?

He appeared somewhat defeated.

In the past, Shen Lianxue had been just like her mother—submissive and easy to converse with. Now, for some inexplicable reason, she had become so articulate that he found himself at a loss for words.

Shen Chengwang gazed at her for a prolonged moment before finally saying, “How is your dispute with the Qian Family related to the Shen Family? You caused trouble at the Qian Family today; someone, administer her punishment!”

Unable to counter her arguments, Shen Chengwang decided to remain silent.

After all, he could always resort to disciplining her in accordance with the family’s laws.

As the head of the family, he held the sole authority within the Shen family.

The servants moved forward to restrain Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan, however, swiftly struck one of them, sending the servant tumbling to the ground. “Even if I am to be disciplined by the family, I should be the one in the wrong. I, Shen Lianxue, am not at fault here, so why should I submit?”

“You’re quite audacious! Attacking a servant like that!” Shen Chengwang’s eyes widened. It was evident that the current Shen Lianxue had distanced herself greatly from her previous demeanor.

“Father, regardless of how much you may dislike me, I am still your daughter, your superior. They are servants, and it’s reasonable for me to defend myself against them. Do you believe your own daughter is inferior to a servant?” Shen Lianxue retorted unapologetically.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengwang found himself unable to bear it any longer.

Indeed, that was the case.

Yet, Shen Chengwang couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Madam Shen gently tugged at Shen Chengwang’s sleeve, silently indicating that it was unwise to argue with her in this setting.

Only then did Shen Chengwang relent.

“Both of you, go back. Don’t linger in the main hall and create a scene,” Shen Chengwang said in anger, not bothering to look directly at them.

Gu Chaoyan couldn’t be bothered to remain in this place, so she took Lady You’s hand and departed.

Shen Cheng watched their departure with simmering frustration, hurling the teacup in his hand to the ground to vent his anger.

Madam Shen attempted to soothe him and said, “That girl has a sharp tongue. Arguing with her is futile. The Shen family is a prominent household, and not everyone can match our Lady in terms of wit.”

“Isn’t there a competition scheduled for these next few days? Let that troublesome girl participate. If she truly performs poorly, we can find someone suitable for her to marry. Once she’s married, her belongings will naturally belong to her husband’s family. Then, she can retrieve them,” Mrs. Shen suggested.

She had no desire to linger here any longer. It was imperative to rid themselves of Shen Lianxue as soon as possible.

This way, Ningyu’s marriage to the young master of the Qian family would proceed smoothly.

She held a high opinion of the young master of the Qian Family. If nothing unexpected occurred, he would undoubtedly prosper.

Furthermore, he had plans for his own future. If Ningyu married into their family, her path would undoubtedly be smooth. In the future, he could contribute to the Shen family to some extent.

Shen Chengwang agreed with Madam Shen’s arrangement.

If they couldn’t find fault with her today, as long as they were determined, they would eventually uncover her misdeeds.

“Let’s go with your plan. I leave it to you,” Shen Chengwang conceded.

“Very well. ”

The two of them had already discussed their strategy.

Gu Chaoyan departed with Lady You.

Lady You still wore a worried expression and couldn’t help but say, “Lianxue, you acted too impulsively today. Defying the Old Master won’t lead to a good life for you at home in the future.”

“In the past, we didn’t exactly live well either.. Is there any difference now?”
