Chapter 484 No one dares to step forward
"What?! So you were planning to have Shen Mingxuan marry someone else!"
Zhen's face turned ugly. "It's really unkind of the Crown Princess to do this. It's better to destroy ten bridges than one marriage. Breaking up other people's marriages will bring punishment from heaven! It's obvious that you look down on my son and despise him because he didn't pass the imperial examination and is not worthy of your sister!"
Shen Wantang looked nonchalant: "Alright, since you don't want to, forget it. I was thinking about helping your son, but now it seems that there's no need to help. Let's just let them live together as a couple! You can go now. I have nothing else to say to you."
Zhen hesitated for a long time, lingering and refusing to leave: "Can you really help my son marry a daughter-in-law who is richer and more powerful than the Shen family? Are you deceiving me?"
"Why would I lie to you? To me, this is a simple matter that cannot be simpler. Liao Youhe is a handsome man, and there are many girls in the capital who want to marry him. You don't have no confidence in your own son, do you?"
Zhen immediately straightened her back and said proudly, "Of course I have great confidence in my son. My son's character, appearance, and knowledge are all first-rate! It's an insult to him to marry a fool like Shen Mingxuan! He deserves better!"
"In that case, what do you have to worry about? I promise to find a gentle and virtuous lady for Liao Youhe to marry, who can also help him in his career in the future. What can the Shen family do to help him? My father himself can't get his job back. With such a father-in-law, what future can Liao Youhe have?"
"This……"
"I'll give you three days. If you can get Liao Youhe and my sister to divorce within three days, I will not only help Liao Youhe find a good marriage, but also give him a large sum of money."
"What?! There's still money? How much can you give? I tell you, I won't do it if you give me less! Why don't you give me the money now? With the money, I will have more confidence to convince my son!"
"Of course I can't give you the money now, lest you take the money and run away. If they don't get divorced after three days, then all the conditions I promised will be invalid! I won't interfere in their affairs anymore."
Shen Wantang said calmly, "Du Juan, show the guest away!"
Du Juan stepped forward and dragged Zhen out.
After returning, she couldn't help but ask Shen Wantang: "Princess, do you really want to let Miss and Mr. Liao divorce? Isn't it better to let them entangle and torture each other?"
"Don't worry, Shen Mingxuan won't agree to the divorce, and my father won't agree either. He can't afford to lose this person."
"Ah? Then what are you doing..."
"Of course I have to find something for Shen Mingxuan to do. She is too idle, and Liao Youhe doesn't like to find faults or cause trouble. I can only ask his mother to come. I think after she jumps up and down for a few days, Shen Mingxuan will behave herself."
Liao Youhe is a man who likes men and doesn't like to get close to women. Most of the time, he is either studying hard or drinking and painting with other men. He would never cause trouble for Shen Mingxuan.
This made Shen Mingxuan's life too boring and too comfortable!
Du Juan was still a little worried: "But what if they really get divorced? Do you really want to find a good marriage for Mr. Liao?"
Shen Wantang laughed: "It's ok to deceive outsiders, but why did he deceive you too? How can I find a good marriage for Liao Youhe? His homosexuality has spread all over the capital. Who would want to marry him?"
Du Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally smiled: "Just fool her!"
"However, in order to make this scene more realistic, you have to hire a few matchmakers to go to Liao Youhe's house every day to propose marriage for him. Give the matchmakers more money and let them exaggerate the woman's conditions. I don't believe that Liao Youhe and his mother won't be tempted!"
"Yes, slave, let's do it now!"
Shen Wantang smiled and said, "No hurry, let's have lunch here first."
Soon, the waiter brought them a large table of dishes. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Wantang went home.
As soon as she returned to the palace, Qin Xin came forward and said, "Princess, before you came back, the prince and the eldest lady had a quarrel."
"What was the quarrel about?"
Qin Xin lowered her voice: "The eldest lady was dissatisfied with the prince for killing Aunt Chu without consulting her, and she hasn't gotten any evidence against Miss Lin from Aunt Chu yet!"
"The prince admitted that he killed someone?"
"No, the prince said that he didn't kill Aunt Chu, and that the eldest lady wrongly accused him. Not only that, the prince also said that you killed Chu Yanluo, and told the eldest lady to blame you if she wanted to, saying that she had fallen into your evil scheme by making trouble with her own brother!"
Shen Wantang suddenly laughed out of anger: "He has no shame at all now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qingxi rushed in with his men.
"Shen Wantang!"
Xiao Qingxi yelled in anger: "You killed Chu Yanluo, I will hand you over to the government! You will just wait to die in a dark dungeon for the rest of your life!"
Shen Wantang looked at her like an idiot: "Can you use your brain? Why would I kill Chu Yanluo? What good would that do to me?"
"You are no good, but you hate her! She held you hostage and almost killed you, how could you let her go! Even if you killed Chu Yanluo, no matter how you quibble, it will be useless!"
"It's really stupid to convict someone based on your own imagination! I thought you had improved after experiencing some things, but it turns out you're still a waste."
"Shen Wantang, how dare you scold me?! Someone, tie her up and send her to the government! She is the murderer, let the government convict her and put her in jail!"
Unfortunately, except for Nanny Kang and a personal maid, the rest of the maids and servants were from Prince Ning's mansion, and none of them dared to step forward.
Even Nanny Kang didn't come forward.
Seeing that no one took action, Xiao Qingxi's face turned blue with anger: "Are you all deaf? I told you to tie up Shen Wantang for me! If anyone dares to disobey my orders, I will kick you out of the palace immediately!"
When the maids and servants heard this, they all fell to their knees and begged for mercy, but no one stepped forward to tie up the man.
Not to mention that Shen Wantang treated them well on weekdays, they were very grateful for her kindness. Even if Shen Wantang treated them normally, they did not have the courage to kidnap the mistress of the house.
Isn't this the opposite of Tian Gang? Who would be stupid enough to do such a thing?
Xiao Qingxi was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Okay, I can't order you around anymore! Just wait until I deal with Shen Wantang, then I'll deal with you! Madam Kang, Cuizhu, the two of you, come on! Tie up Shen Wantang!"
Aunt Kang pleaded in her tone, "My eldest lady, please stop making trouble. The Crown Prince's wife is the mistress of the family. How can you kidnap her without any evidence? Go back quickly!"
Cuizhu didn't dare to say a word, let alone go forward to tie up Shen Wantang. She just hung her head and stood there like a wooden stake.
