619 Marriage Exchange (6)

Old Madam Shen usually did not like Chen Ruoqiu, and she did not even have much feelings for Shen Yue. However, Shen Yue was the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family after all. It would not be nice if word spread out that her marriage was snatched away by a concubine’s daughter. She immediately added after Chen Ruoqiu, “Like mother, like daughter! She’s really a disgrace to the family!”

Concubine Wan looked at Shen Yue with tears in her eyes. “Second Miss, aren’t you very close to my daughter lately? Speak up for her. She is not that kind of person, right?” Concubine Wan did not believe that Shen Dongling would do such a thing. Shen Dongling had been smart since she was young. Most of the time, Shen Dongling would explain things that Concubine Wan did not understand. Concubine Wan had always thought that if not for her identity, her daughter would definitely not be inferior to any of the legitimate daughters in the Shen family. Shen Dongling looked timid on the outside, but everything she did was well-planned. Although she had heard from Shen Dongling saying that Shen Yue’s marriage was an opportunity, Concubine Wan did not expect it to be like this. Concubine Wan believed that Shen Dongling was not stupid as to deceive the entire Shen family to marry Wang Bi. If she did this, she would have no place in both the Wang family or the Shen family!

Concubine Wan expected Shen Yue, who always looked gentle, to speak up for Shen Dongling. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Yue heard Concubine Wan’s words, she cried and said, “Concubine Wan, I really don’t know what’s going on. Third Sister came to toast me, saying that I was going to leave the mansion and that she was sad. When I woke up again, it was already the next morning. I also believe that Third Sister didn’t do it on purpose… but I really don’t know how it ended up like this!”

On the surface, Shen Yue said that she trusted Shen Dongling, but her words implied that she was schemed against by Shen Dongling. As expected, when Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Wan heard this, their expressions darkened. Shen Gui also frowned. Seeing that everyone was on Shen Yue’s side, a trace of despair flashed across Concubine Wan’s eyes.

“The most important thing now is to think of a solution,” Chang Zaiqing said softly. She was not from the Shen family, so it was not appropriate for her to say anything. At this moment, she reminded everyone that the bride had already changed. What if the Wang family came to question them? Should they take Shen Dongling back? Or should they send her away? Anyway, Shen Dongling was just a concubine’s daughter. It was easy to get rid of her. The most urgent thing was to appease the Wang family.

Old Madam Shen made a prompt decision. “Go and discuss this matter with the Wang family first and get someone to take Third Miss back. Lock Concubine Wan up in the woodshed. She deserves to be taught a lesson for raising such a daughter!”

When Shen Yue heard that, she panicked. She did not expect them to want to take Shen Dongling back. If Shen Dongling was sent back, wouldn’t she have to be sent to the Wang family? Then wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Wan were satisfied with Old Madam Shen’s decision. Chen Ruoqiu glanced at Concubine Wan and was even more furious. She only thought that in the future, she would definitely find ways to torture Concubine Wan.

When Concubine Wan heard that, her vision darkened. The Shen family would definitely choose to protect Shen Yue and sacrifice Shen Dongling. This way, Shen Dongling’s life would be ruined!

Just as she was thinking, a servant came to report that someone from the Wang family had come.
