Chapter 137 Father-daughter relationship?
Shen Qingwan sat on the ground for a long time, her eyes gradually changing from despair to resentment.
poison.
She knew that all this must have been done by Shen Tangan, and she was so cruel.
"Shen Tangan, I won't let this go."
Shen Qingwan said with gritted teeth.
She began to plan a new conspiracy in her mind. Since she was already at a disadvantage in a head-on fight, she had to start from the dark.
Meanwhile, Shen Tangan, who was in the palace, watched his plan progress step by step.
There was not much joy.
She knew very well that Shen Qingwan would not give up, and she had to remain vigilant at all times.
What Shen Tangan didn't expect was that she actually met Shen Jiyuan in the palace, which really surprised her.
"This old minister pays respect to Her Majesty the Princess."
Her father, who used to beat or scold her for a single word, could now only respectfully call her "Princess Her Majesty".
"Father never comes to visit unless there is something important. I wonder why he came this time?"
Shen Tangan raised his hand calmly, signaling the servants around him to invite him to take a seat.
Shen Jiyuan had been acting very fearful since he entered the palace. If he hadn't known his true identity, he would have almost been deceived by him.
She had not forgotten how her father Shen Jiyuan had scolded her in the Marquis' Mansion.
"My Lady Princess, I have something to say to you alone."
Shen Jiyuan looked at the servants around him and lowered his voice.
Shen Tangan did not refuse. He raised his hand to let everyone leave. In the blink of an eye, only the father and daughter were left in the front hall.
"Princess, Wan'er is your biological sister after all. She was bewitched for a while. I hope you won't take it personally."
After hearing what Shen Jiyuan said, Shen Tangan sneered in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "Father, what you said is strange. My sister was bewildered and tried to assassinate me. It almost cost me my life. How can I just ignore it?"
Shen Jiyuan's forehead was covered with sweat. He rubbed his hands and put on a flattering smile: "Madam, Wan'er is young and naive. You are favored in the palace now, so why bother with a little girl like her. If you can let her go, everyone in the palace will be grateful for your kindness."
Shen Tangan sat up straight and looked at Shen Jiyuan with cold eyes: "Father, have you forgotten that when I was in the Marquis' Mansion, my sister never thought about sisterly love. At that time, she tried to please you in every way, but what about me? If I was not careful, I would be scolded or even beaten. Did you ever protect me at all?"
Shen Jiyuan blushed slightly and defended himself, "My Lady, I did that to teach you good manners so that you can have a good future."
Shen Tangan snorted softly, "A good future? What kind of life did I lead in the Marquis' Mansion? My sister made things difficult for me in every way. Whenever she was unhappy, she would come to you and cry, but you never asked for the truth and only believed her one-sided story. Do you still remember that time when I was falsely accused of stealing her jade pendant, and you punished me to kneel in the woodshed for a day and a night without asking the reason? At that time, did you ever think that I was your daughter?"
Shen Jiyuan lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Shen Tangan's eyes: "My Lady, that's all in the past, please don't bear grudges."
Shen Tangan continued, "What happened in the past? Those things are like thorns in my heart. I was very careful in the Marquis' Mansion, treading on thin ice, but what about my sister? She was spoiled and arrogant, and she did whatever she wanted. Now that she has done such a rebellious thing, you come to ask me to let her go. Do you think this is fair?"
Shen Jiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "My Lady, she is your biological sister after all, and blood is thicker than water. You are of noble status now, so just pity her."
A trace of sadness flashed in Shen Tangan's eyes: "Father, you are still biased towards her. You keep saying that she is young and ignorant, but which of the things she did can be explained by ignorance? She wanted to kill me, is this ignorant? She stirred up trouble in the Prince's Mansion, is this ignorant?"
Shen Jiyuan was speechless and could only kneel down again: "My queen, please give Wan'er a chance to live for the sake of our relationship as father and daughter."
Shen Tangan looked at Shen Jiyuan kneeling on the ground, without a ripple in her heart. She slowly stood up: "Father, please stand up. I can promise you that I won't kill you all, but Shen Qingwan must pay the price for what she did. This is the biggest concession I can make based on the little father-daughter relationship we once had. You also know that the prince has always doted on me, and I don't think the prince will let her go easily."
Shen Jiyuan wanted to say something else, but Shen Tangan raised his hand to stop him: "Father, don't say more. I shouldn't have seen you when you came today. Your attitude towards me over the years has made me lose my heart to you. If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to me and raised me, I wouldn't even give in to you. Please go away, and don't come again."
Shen Jiyuan sighed helplessly and could only stand up and say goodbye.
While Shen Qingwan was in the Prince's Mansion, she heard that her father had gone to the Prince's Mansion to plead for her, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
She thought that as long as she could get out of the confinement in the Prince's Mansion, she would still have a chance to turn things around.
But what she didn't know was that although Shen Tangan promised Shen Jiyuan not to kill her, he had secretly arranged people to keep an eye on her outside the Prince's Mansion.
If she makes any unusual move again, she will be doomed.
After Mu Chenye learned that Shen Jiyuan had come to the palace, he said to Shen Tangan, "Tang'er, you don't have to worry too much about what he said. I will not let you get hurt."
Shen Tangan leaned in Mu Chenye's arms: "Your Majesty, of course I know."
A sneer appeared on her lips. She was just planning a bigger trap.
It's really ironic that a father knelt down and begged for mercy for a concubine's daughter!
It seemed that her heartless father really had some father-daughter affection for Shen Qingwan.
Since he is willing to do this for Shen Qingwan, he won't have any complaints if he is ruined because of Shen Qingwan in the future, right?
Ever since Shen Jiyuan went to the palace, Shen Qingwan has been quiet for quite some time.
Just when Shen Tangan thought she was going to change her personality, she actually offered a large reward to bring a group of witch doctors into the mansion.
She didn't believe in these things at first, but there were so many magical techniques that she had to be on guard.
As soon as the witch doctor came out of the Prince's Mansion, Shen Tangan sent someone to invite him to the restaurant, paid them double the price, and asked him about what Shen Qingwan had done.
The witch doctors were a little hesitant at first. After all, this was in the capital city, and witchcraft was an extremely taboo.
But under Shen Tangan's coercion and inducement, he finally told the truth.
One of the witch doctors spoke tremblingly: "Princess, the concubine asked us to use witchcraft against you. She gave us a lot of gold and silver treasures and asked us to make you lose your child."
Shen Tangan was shocked when he heard this. Such a vicious method was truly outrageous.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms: "She is so cruel to come up with such a despicable method."
Another witch doctor added, "My lady, the concubine also said that if we can make you fall out of favor with the prince, there will be a generous reward in the future. Her eyes are full of resentment. We didn't want to get involved in such matters, but we really couldn't resist her coercion and the temptation of a large sum of money."
