The noise outside was getting louder and louder, but Shen Xining's face was expressionless, as if none of it mattered to her.
On the second day after Shen Xiyao's marriage, Shen Xining was released from the ancestral hall. There was no expression on her face, but Shen came to her and showed off.
"Shen Xining, I thought you were so smart before. But now, you've injured your arm and have been punished to kneel in the ancestral temple for so long. It seems that your methods are just this good."
Shen Xining looked at Shen and smiled.
"So this is what my mother has always thought of me. If that's the case, then I wish my mother can always smile happily."
"What do you mean by that? Shen Xining, if you have any tricks left, just use them. My daughter is now the Crown Princess, and my son will inherit the title of the Grand Tutor's Mansion in the future. And you are just an orphan, with no father or mother who loves you. Shen Xining, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this?"
Oh.
Shen Xining glanced at Shen, his eyes clearly revealing a hint of sarcasm, which made Shen's heart skip two beats. She clenched her fingers and wanted to say something, but Shen Xining spoke.
"If mother is really as powerful and carefree as she says, why are you so impatient to show off in front of me now? Mother, you know that it is easiest for people to think you are afraid when you act like this."
Shen's face turned slightly pale.
"What are you talking about? Why would I be scared!?"
Shen Xining smiled faintly, did not expose her, just smiled lightly.
"If that's the case, then it couldn't be better. I hope that mother can live as smoothly in the future as she does today."
Shen walked out of the room with a pale face. Shen Xining looked at her slightly unsteady steps and pursed his lips.
Chun Xing served the tea and looked at Shen's staggering figure in confusion.
"Miss, didn't Shen come here to show off her power? Why is she staggering like this now? She didn't even have a sip of tea. I even went out of my way to find the best tea we have here, fearing that she would laugh at me."
Shen Xining pursed her lips and smiled.
"Next time she comes, she doesn't have to look for the best tea. Isn't that a waste of our good tea? As you know, if someone doesn't like you, no matter how much you do, she will still dislike you. In this case, why bother trying to please someone who doesn't like you?"
Chun Xing nodded in confusion, while Shen Xining stared at Shen's back as she left and smiled. She wanted to see how long Shen could hold on like this. Didn't she like to hold on? Then she could hold on a few more times. I'm afraid that since what happened that day, Shen's father has never entered her house again. Now Shen is already quite panicked.
Her family background was not prominent enough, so even if Shen wanted to be angry, she had to consider whether she had any weight. The official position that Lin Jiang bought was also revoked. If Shen could not gain a foothold in the Shen family, she would probably be really desperate, and when people are desperate, they will do some stupid things that they shouldn't do.
Shen Xining knew that her move this time was actually very stupid, but she was betting on human nature, Shen Xiyao's humanity, and her father's humanity. Now it seems that she should not have had any expectations of Shen Xiyao's humanity, and the same was probably true for Shen's father. However, Shen Xining wanted to know from Shen's handwriting whether her mother's death was related to Shen's father.
And at this time in the Prince's Mansion.
The next day, Shen Xiyao woke up in bed, fully dressed, with a pale face. Her maid who came with her was terrified to see her like this.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Shen Xiyao was already in a bad mood, and when she heard the maid's question, she slapped her in the face without any hesitation.
"You bastard, even you look down on me, right? Call me Crown Princess! I am now the Crown Princess, the legitimate and legally married Crown Princess!"
The maid covered her face and knelt down in panic, her tears flowing like beads from a broken string. Shen Xiyao felt annoyed when she saw her tears.
"Useless thing, why don't you get out? Go clean the yard. You won't be allowed to eat this morning until you finish cleaning."
The maid nodded, covered her tears and went to clean. She was destined not to have lunch. The courtyard was so big, and Shen Xiyao had just married and was not valued, so she was not given many maids. As a result, the whole courtyard was in a mess just after her marriage.
Shen Xiyao sat on the bed, looking at the wedding characters all over the room, her heart was filled with anger to the extreme.
Bastards! They are all bastards!
Last night was clearly her first night after getting married, and according to etiquette, the prince should have stayed overnight, but after drinking the wedding wine, the prince went to the side room. She heard that there was a whore in the side room. The whore was picked up by the prince when he was traveling outside, and had been working as a maid. She was lucky to have her last night!
Shen Xiyao now felt that most people in the Prince's Mansion were talking about her stupidity behind her back. Without saying a word, she stood up and walked outside. She had not yet taken off her wedding dress, and she strode into the room of that bitch. The woman had not yet woken up, and Shen Xiyao grabbed her hair fiercely and pulled her off the berth to the ground.
"Bitch! How dare you go against me! I will kill you today!"
The woman was suddenly pulled by her hair while she was sleeping. She looked dazed. Most of her clothes were torn off while she was stunned, revealing red marks all over her body. For a moment, it hurt Shen Xiyao's eyes.
Shen Xiyao slapped the woman without hesitation. The woman saw stars and struggled to get up, but Shen Xiyao stepped on her.
"Bitch! Who do you think you are? How dare you treat me like this? You want to steal my man? You are a motherless bastard! Today, I will let you know what the consequences will be!"
As she said this, she slapped him mercilessly.
The woman looked at Shen Xiyao's crazy appearance, her eyes widened with fear. Shen Xiyao was very strong and obviously very angry. She used a lot of strength. If Shen Xiyao slapped her, the woman would probably lose half her life. She covered her head with her hands and screamed.
"Ah! Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
"Bitch! Who the hell are you? You're such a lowly thing! You're worthy enough to snatch a man from me!? I have to teach you a lesson today! Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't know who you really are!"
