Chapter 583 Another visitor comes from the Duke’s Mansion!
In a few days, the news that Liu Nanshi was sold to Wanhua Tower by human traffickers had spread throughout the streets and alleys.
And Shen Wantang received the invitation from Princess Ning for the third time.
Shen Wantang didn't want to go, but Shen Guannian was very excited and happy: "The princess really does like my daughter. She has been picking and choosing in the whole capital, and finally found that my daughter is the most virtuous and obedient. She won't cause her any trouble!"
"Tang'er, you must dress respectably tomorrow when you go to the palace as a guest. Don't bring shame upon my reputation as Shen Guannian!"
Before Shen Wantang could say anything, Qi said in a sinister tone, "The princess doesn't like Tang'er at all. She just dislikes Liu Nanshi for losing her virginity. In order to prevent the prince from marrying Liu Nanshi, she had no choice but to ask Tang'er to fill the hole!"
She has also used Chu Yanluo's secret medicine in the past few days. Although her injuries have not yet healed completely, she doesn't feel any pain at all, and even feels very comfortable.
But the look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Wantang was as if filled with poison, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.
Shen Wantang raised his head and met her resentful gaze. The corners of his lips twitched slightly. "Mother, you're right. Otherwise, I'll listen to you and not go to the palace this time. What do you think, Father?"
The joy on Shen Guannian's face suddenly disappeared without a trace. He looked at Qi angrily, "Why are you causing trouble all day long? Last time, you gossiped in the palace and made Tang'er disliked by Princess Ning. You almost ruined such a good marriage. Now you are starting to make trouble again? I, Shen Guannian, have treated you well, why do you keep ruining my future?!"
Seeing him angry, Qi quickly forced a smile and said, "Master, calm down. I'm worried that Tang'er won't be liked by the prince and will have an unhappy life in the future. If she doesn't like the prince, how can the princess like her? If the princess doesn't like her, then Master won't be able to rely on her in the future, right?"
Shen Guannian snorted coldly, "Who said my Tang'er isn't favored by the prince? If she wasn't favored by the prince, would he eagerly come and give her four maids? Would he talk about how he married Tang'er in his previous life every day? The prince clearly likes Tang'er!"
"Oh, my Lord, didn't the prince give it to Tang'er because he hated those four maids? He hated Tang'er!"
Qi said earnestly, "He said that in his previous life, he married Tang'er, which was also a humiliation to our Tang'er! Now it's rumored that the prince doesn't care that Liu Nanshi's virginity was taken away, and he must marry her! It seems that the prince really likes Liu Nanshi!"
Shen Guannian frowned, "How could he possibly like Liu Nanshi? Liu Nanshi's reputation is completely ruined. Who in a respectable family would marry her now? Even a noble family like Prince Ning's is definitely not going to want her!"
Shen Mingxuan suddenly interrupted, "Father, have you forgotten that Prince Xiao has extremely strange tastes? He doesn't like innocent girls, but rather those shameless bastards who have been abused by other men!"
Shen Guannian frowned even deeper: "You mean..."
Shen Mingxuan nodded. "Yes, for example, Chu Yanluo, who was banished to Jixin Temple by the Chu family, was pregnant with some bastard's child, yet Prince Xiao was determined to marry her. Liu Nanshi wasn't pregnant with any bastard's child, she was just abused by someone, yet Prince Xiao loved her just as much!"
Shen Wantang took a sip of tea and looked at Chu Yanluo who was scolded in person by Shen Mingxuan.
Because Chu Yanluo had the secret medicine in her hands, she greatly alleviated the pain of Qi and Shen Mingxuan, mother and daughter, and gained their trust very quickly. Now, no matter where Shen Mingxuan goes, she likes to take her with her, and her former personal maid Shaoyao has been pushed aside by Chu Yanluo.
At this moment, the expression on her sallow face was slightly distorted, and her eyes stared fiercely at the back of Shen Mingxuan's head, as if she wanted to poke a hole in her head and bleed on the spot.
When Shen Wantang saw Chu Yanluo's appearance, she suddenly felt relieved. In this life, Shen Mingxuan no longer needed her to take action against her. Chu Yanluo alone was enough.
Shen Guannian at the top was still arguing with Qi about who Xiao Qingyuan liked. Shen Wantang felt a little bored and looked outside through the half-open window out of boredom.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into her sight.
Her eyes sparkled with joy, and she almost stood up to greet them.
A little maid hurried in: "Master, Madam, someone else is coming to the Duke's Mansion!"
The argument between Shen Guannian and Qi stopped instantly. Qi's face was gloomy, but Shen Guannian was overjoyed: "Who is coming this time?"
The little maidservant said crisply, "Master, the one who has returned this time is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion!"
Shen Guannian was extremely excited: "The eldest lady is here too? Come on, please come in!"
The little maid quickly raised the curtain and said, "Miss Gu, please come in!"
Gu Qianning walked in with her maid and nanny. She looked at Shen Wantang first, and seeing her looking at her with surprise, she couldn't help but smile at her. Then, she greeted Shen Guannian.
"Qian Ning greets Lord Shen and Madam Shen."
Shen Guannian couldn't suppress his smile. "I didn't expect that the daughter of the Duke's Mansion would come to our Shen family. This really brings honor to our Shen family! Come, Miss Gu, please take a seat!"
Gu Qianning's expression was calm. "Lord Shen is the elder, and it would be inappropriate for a junior to take the seat. I appreciate your kindness. I'm here to thank Atang on behalf of my mother. By the way, I'd like to give Atang an invitation. There will be a flower viewing banquet at home in a few days. I'm here on my mother's orders to invite Atang to visit the Duke's Mansion."
Shen Guannian almost laughed out loud. His mood was so good that it was hard to describe in words: "Great! Great! Great! Since the Duke's Mansion has invited you so warmly, how can Tang'er not go? Go, you must go!"
He never imagined that Shen Wantang had only saved the Duke's wife once, but the Duke's Mansion sent people to thank him three times!
This is truly a great honor! A great honor!
Shen Guannian actually has come to this day!
Everyone says that the Duke's family is of high status, and that the Duke and his wife are inherently arrogant and difficult to befriend.
How is this difficult? You are simply lying with your eyes open!
If you find it difficult, shouldn't you examine your own reasons? Are you serious about making friends? Do you have real skills?
Shen Guannian looked at Shen Wantang happily, with kindness in his eyes. The more he looked at Shen Wantang, the more he liked her. Even if Shen Wantang asked him for stars in the sky, he, as her father, would pick them for her!
Shen Wantang had already stood up. Facing Shen Guannian's overly "loving" gaze, she asked him, "Father, is there anything else you need? If not, I'd like to take Miss Gu to my courtyard and treat her well."
