448 Blaming Others (3)
“After what happened to Father this time, he was injured and bedridden. He wanted to see you. Yesterday, he specially instructed someone to look for you in the Song residence. Unexpectedly, not only did you ignore him, but you also said evil words…”
“Brother Bo, stop talking. I didn’t discipline your second sister well…” Shen Pingxiu shook his head in pain, vividly portraying the image of an old father who had been heartbroken by his daughter.
If not for the fact that the timing was bad, Shen Yijia would have applauded him. His acting skills were even better than the actors on the stage.
No wonder he could trick the two elders of the Wang family into handing their precious daughter to him when he was young.
!!
It was unknown if Lord Cai had the intention to watch the show, but he did not say a word and let the Shen father and son sing and fight below like women.
“Father, what does this have to do with you? Who would have thought that our Shen family would have such a…”
“Where’s the motive?” Shen Yijia interrupted Shen Wenbo impatiently. “Since you’ve treated me so well, why should I do these things that won’t do me any good? I’m not tired of living.”
Lord Cai thought to himself, “Why do I feel like I’m no longer needed here?”
Shen Pingxiu’s pupils constricted. If he wanted to talk about motives, he naturally had to start with Madam Wang’s death.
“Because of jealousy,” a female voice said from outside the crowd.
The surrounding commoners automatically made way.
Shen Ruyun, who was wearing a princess consort suit, walked in surrounded by a few maidservants.
She walked up to Shen Yijia and looked down at her with a pained expression. “I didn’t want to say it, but you went too far this time. This is your biological father. How could you do this?”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Who am I? Where am I? Did I accidentally enter a stage?”
Shen Ruyun pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and smiled mockingly at Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia said, “Your smile is really ugly.”
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. No one cared if they would offend her or not. Their gazes darted to Shen Ruyun’s face.
Shen Ruyun was speechless.
She took a deep breath and pretended not to hear her. She lowered her eyes and continued, “Back then, your biological mother saved Madam Song, who was pregnant for ten months, so the Song and Shen families made a verbal engagement.
“When Eldest Young Master Song reached the age to get married, Madam Song went to the Shen family to discuss the marriage. Unexpectedly, Madam Song chose me instead of you for some reason.”
“However, you took into account the power of the Bulwark Duke’s residence at that time. You went on a hunger strike at home and threatened me to give up the marriage to you. Father couldn’t bear to see you like this, so he agreed in the end.
“However, on the day you got married…”
She did not continue, but everyone understood that her husband’s family had been implicated in a rebellion on the day of their marriage. Two elders had passed away one after another.
Because of this, many people in the capital said that the second daughter of the Shen family was tough and had jinxed her husband’s family.
Two years had passed. If Shen Ruyun hadn’t mentioned it today, they would have almost forgotten about it.
Shen Ruyun’s words firstly meant that Shen Yijia was favored at home, and secondly, she hinted that she even dared to snatch her sister’s marriage. What else could she not do?
As for the reason why Madam Song did not choose Shen Yijia, it was because she was not a good match. There was something wrong with her character.
At the same time, she pushed all the responsibility of the Shen family suddenly changing their tune to Shen Yijia. The rest of the Shen family were forced to do so.
Shen Pingxiu loved his daughter.
“You were chased out of the capital, but I married Lord Jing. You were jealous of me and felt that the family owed you, so you attacked Father.”
As Shen Ruyun concluded, the surrounding commoners began to discuss.
“This is too vicious. She even snatched her biological sister’s marriage.”
“That’s right. She was clearly the one who lost her husband’s family because she was too stubborn. Her life wasn’t good, but she still came back to resent her family.”
“My master’s house is on Liu’er Street. I heard it was true yesterday. The servant of the Shen family knelt in front of the Song family’s door and kowtowed, begging Second Miss Shen to go back and take a look. Do you know what Second Miss Shen said?” a servant said mysteriously.
Someone asked curiously, “What did she say?”
The servant placed his hands on his hips and raised his chin. He lowered his voice and said, “If you’re sick, find a doctor to treat you. If you’re about to die, go to the coffin shop and book a coffin. Why are you looking for me? Do you want me to gather money?”
Shen Yijia’s ears and eyes were sharp, so she heard the discussions outside clearly. She had been wearing a straight face, but when she heard this, she could not help but laugh.
That tone was quite like hers.
Someone exclaimed, “Oh my god, isn’t this like cursing him to die? That’s her biological father. Isn’t she afraid of being struck by lightning?”
“No wonder Madam Song didn’t like her back then. I wonder how unlucky she was to marry such a person.”
“This kind of person can’t bear to see others doing well. I don’t think there’s a need to interrogate this case anymore. She must have done it.”
“Tsk, I really couldn’t tell that you’re so evil despite your innocent appearance.”
