Chapter 123 I'm going to sue you!
After Shen Huaichuan left the study, he went to Qingzhuyuan.
"Brother, how is it going?"
Shen Tangan did not want to get too involved in this matter. What was more important was that he wanted his brother to be involved in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion after this incident.
"I suggest that father drive Zheng out of the house, but judging from his attitude, I'm afraid he is not willing to do so."
Shen Huaichuan picked up the teacup she handed over and took a sip, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"What do you think your father would do?"
"Compared to the interests of the Marquisate, what has father ever cared about? He has some true feelings for Zheng's mother and daughter, but after today, there is no more."
Shen Tangan lowered his eyes, hiding the coldness in them.
She knew her father best, he was hypocritical, selfish and only cared about himself.
After Shen Huaichuan left, Shen Jiyuan was left alone in the study, feeling uneasy. He had no idea that Zheng, who was always gentle, could be so bold!
But he couldn't let go of Zheng in his heart, so he went to the woodshed.
In the woodshed, Zheng and Shen Qingwan sat on the ground dejectedly, their faces haggard and tears streaming silently.
At this time, the door of the woodshed was pushed open and Shen Jiyuan walked in.
As soon as Zheng saw Shen Jiyuan, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in her eyes. She quickly stood up and wanted to get closer to Shen Jiyuan, but was stopped by the guards.
"My Lord, you are finally here. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me and Wan'er for our past friendship."
Zheng struggled to get closer to him, but there seemed to be a gap between them, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any closer.
Shen Jiyuan looked at Zheng with mixed feelings.
He was angry at Zheng's audacity, but also felt a little reluctant because of their past friendship.
"Why did you do such a thing? Do you want to put me in an irretrievable situation? I have treated you and your daughter well, yet you treat me like this!"
Shen Jiyuan was confused and angry. He thought he had given them the best, so why were they so greedy that they even wanted to secretly sell the land and shops of the Marquis' Mansion? They simply didn't take him seriously!
"My Lord, I was confused for a moment. I just wanted to find a good future for Wan'er, but I did something wrong. I beg you to forgive us for the upcoming wedding of Wan'er and the Crown Prince."
Zheng knelt on the ground and cried, looking at him pitifully and helplessly.
Shen Qingwan also looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Father, I know I was wrong. I will definitely change for the better in the future. Please forgive us, father."
Shen Jiyuan looked at Zheng and Shen Qingwan, his eyes full of disappointment.
The disappointment was like a heavy yoke, making it almost impossible to breathe.
He sighed deeply, anger and helplessness intertwined in his heart.
After a moment, Shen Jiyuan waved his hand and ordered someone to take Shen Qingwan back to Lihua Garden.
Shen Qingwan's face was filled with fear and regret, tears welling up in her eyes, but she did not dare to disobey in the slightest and allowed the guards to take her away from the woodshed.
In Lihua Garden, Shen Qingwan was locked up. All around was silent, except for the remorse in her heart that surged like a tide.
Then, Shen Jiyuan's face turned gloomy and he loudly threatened to drive Zheng out of the house and leave her to fend for herself.
His words were like a cold wind, blowing across Zheng's face. However, deep down in Shen Jiyuan's heart, he actually hoped that Zheng could realize his mistake.
He planned to send Zheng to a farm to hide away, and when she truly realized her mistakes, there might still be room for redemption.
Unexpectedly, when Zheng heard that Shen Jiyuan wanted to drive her away, she was struck by lightning.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and the light of hope in her eyes was instantly extinguished.
Zheng couldn't accept such a result. Her emotions instantly got out of control. Under pressure, she started arguing with Shen Jiyuan.
"My Lord, how can you be so cruel? I have been with you for many years. Even if I have not contributed anything, I have worked hard. Now you want to drive me away for a small mistake. Do you think you are worthy of me?"
Zheng shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice filled with anger and despair.
"You did something so reckless that it almost put the Marquisate into an irreparable situation. I have done my best for you, but you still don't repent."
Shen Jiyuan looked at Zheng, his eyes filled with disappointment and shock.
He pursed his lips tightly, his face looked so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
After a moment, he said angrily, "You really disappoint me. You did such a bold thing and almost destroyed the entire mansion. I am now taking Qingwan back to Lihua Garden and locking her up because of our father-daughter relationship. And you, you must leave the mansion. I will not keep you any longer."
When Zheng heard this, she felt dizzy and her eyes widened with disbelief.
"My Lord, how can you be so cruel? I have been with you for many years, taking care of all the affairs in your mansion for you. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. Now you want to drive me away for a small mistake. Do you think you are worthy of me?"
Zheng shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Shen Jiyuan snorted coldly, with a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
"How dare you say that? You mortgaged the title deed of the Marquis' Mansion without authorization and secretly transferred the property. Is that a fault at all? You almost put the Marquis' Mansion into an irreparable situation. I have done my best for you."
Zheng was in tears. She took a step forward and tried to grab Shen Jiyuan's sleeve, but was stopped by the guards.
"My Lord, everything I did was for Wan'er and for our future. You can't just abandon me like this. Wan'er and the Crown Prince's wedding is approaching, and if you drive me away, what will happen to Wan'er?"
Shen Jiyuan shook off Zheng's hand and shouted angrily, "Are you going to drag Wan'er into an eternal damnation and make her unworthy of becoming the Crown Princess?"
Zheng shook her head in despair. "No, Lord, Wan'er's future cannot be ruined like this. Please spare us for the sake of our past friendship."
Shen Jiyuan was unmoved. "It's come to this point. There's no point in saying more. You must leave the mansion. From now on, I'll let you fend for yourself."
Zheng's emotions completely collapsed. She screamed hysterically: "Shen Jiyuan, you are ungrateful. I have given so much for you, but you are so heartless. I will not leave like this. I want everyone to know your cruelty.
I will go to the Dali Temple to sue you! I will sue you for abandoning me after having an affair with me, for having a wife at home but still keeping a mistress outside!"
"You are crazy!"
Shen Jiyuan widened his eyes and looked at her with disbelief, as if he had never known her before.
In the huge city of Kyoto, every family has one or two dirty deeds. Even if they violate the laws of Zhongjin and are criticized by others, as long as they are not exposed, everyone will turn a blind eye and live in confusion.
But Zheng was so desperate that she threatened to sue him in the Dali Temple?
If she really went to the Dali Temple, he would be disgraced and his reputation might even be heard by His Majesty. He would be in danger of losing his position as Marquis of Yong'an!
He swallowed and pointed at Zheng with hesitation in his voice.
"You will probably die a more miserable death than me. Are you going to fight to the death with me?"
