"Tang'er!"
The old lady's voice became heavier, and her face turned pale.
Shen Xian stared at Shen Tang intently, "Shen Tang! How dare you!"
Shen Tang's cold eyes swept across Shen Xian's face, and he looked at the old lady and said, "Everything I do is for my father and the good of the Marquisate. I just want to sever my father's relationship with the second branch. As for grandma, if she gets tired of living in the Marquisate's mansion and misses my second uncle, she can move in with him anytime and let him fulfill his filial duty."
"I came to the Dali Temple today for no other reason than to ask them to help write a letter of severance, to serve as a witness for our Pingyuan Marquis Mansion!"
Shen Tang looked at the old lady with a resolute look, and the old lady felt frightened at the sight of Shen Tang.
Especially Shen Tang’s words: “Whatever I do is for my father and for the good of the Marquis’ Mansion.”
Shen Tang did do a lot for the Marquis' Mansion. It was she who found Shen Yan, and it was she who sent people to bring Chunlan back to the Mansion to let them know how much injustice Jiang had suffered back then, and that the eldest house was not childless, but had two sons.
Shen Tang was indeed doing this for Shen Sui's own good.
As long as the parents are alive, the family will not be divided. In order to appease the anger of the Jiang family, she agreed to separate the second branch, and without Shen Sui's order, the second branch was not allowed to return to the Marquis's mansion. This was no different from severing ties, but Shen Tang still insisted that Shen Sui remove the second master from the family tree.
His attitude was so resolute, as if whatever the second house did would bring disaster to the entire mansion.
The old lady just looked at Shen Tang, but Shen Tang remained calm. Master Jiang didn't understand why Shen Tang did this.
In order to obtain the title, Second Master Shen harmed the two sons of Shen Sui. The brotherhood between Shen Sui and Second Master Shen had already disappeared, and there was no need for a letter of severance. Tang'er knew that even with a letter of severance, it could not sever the mother-son relationship between Old Madam Shen and Second Master Shen. She had no intention of doing such a thing, but she insisted on having that letter of severance.
Master Jiang advised Shen Tang, "Let's just leave it at that."
The old lady was heartbroken and asked, "Do you really have to force Grandmother like this?"
Shen Tang said, "Grandma, if you really can't bear to remove the Second Branch from the family tree, then just cross out my father's name from the tree!"
Master Jiang Er said, "Why are you getting more and more outrageous..."
Shen Tang said, "Uncle! I have never been so serious as today!"
These words were said to Mr. Jiang Er, and even more so to the old lady.
Seeing Shen Tang's uncompromising look, the old lady was really scared. She used all her strength to squeeze out the words, "Yitang'er, remove the second branch from the family tree..."
The second master's face turned pale, "Mother!"
The Second Wife rushed over again, "I did it all by myself, and I take full responsibility for my own actions. Just ask the Master to divorce me. You can't remove Xian'er and Gu'er from the family tree as well. They did nothing wrong..."
Shen Xian looked at Shen Tang viciously, "Are you trying to force my second uncle and second aunt to death?!"
Shen Tang said to the Dali Temple Minister, "Please write a letter of severance."
Minister of Dali Temple, "..."
This is the first time I've seen someone forced to break off a relationship by a junior.
But Second Miss Shen was stubborn, and everyone in Kyoto knew that the second branch of the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion had done all sorts of evil things, causing Second Miss Shen's biological mother to be depressed and die with hatred. Second Miss Shen wanted to avenge her mother, and no one could say anything.
But this letter of severance was not something that could be written casually. The Dali Temple official looked at Shen Sui and asked, "Do you want to write it?"
Shen Sui said, "Thank you for your help."
The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple also wanted to finish writing and leave quickly, so Steward Li asked the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple to step aside. After a while, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple finished writing the severance letter. Shen Sui signed his name and pressed his fingerprint, and Steward Li handed it to the second master.
The Second Master clenched his fists. Shen Tang said, "I invited the Dali Temple Minister to the mansion to handle this matter for my grandmother's sake. If Second Uncle wants to go to the Dali Temple to make a decision, father will accompany you."
The threat of Chiguoguo.
The Dali Temple Minister was overwhelmed by what he heard. Fortunately, the one who married Miss Shen Er was the Prince of Jingyang. If it were someone else, he might not be able to handle it.
Veins bulged on the second master's forehead, and his hands were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to slap Shen Tang to death with one palm.
But does the second master dare?
If you don't dare, you can only sign the severance letter.
Looking at the severance bookmark, the Dali Temple official pressed his fingerprint and said impatiently, "I still have things to do at the government office, so I'll go back first."
Manager Li escorted the Dali Temple Minister out of the mansion.
Master Jiang Da and Master Jiang Er also left together.
After the Dali Temple Minister and the two masters of the Jiang family left, the old lady looked at everyone in the room and said, "Everyone, get out!"
The old woman dragged the limp Second Wife out. Shen Xian glared at Shen Tang fiercely and left as well. All the maids and old women left, and finally the Second Master left.
Shen Tang didn't leave because the old lady drove everyone else out just to ask her questions.
After everyone had left, the old lady looked at Shen Tang and said, "Tell me, Grandma, why did you have to do something like this that would stab Grandma in the heart?!"
Shen Tang did not hide it and said truthfully, "I am afraid that the second branch will commit the crime of killing nine generations of the family, and the disaster will also affect the first branch."
A chill ran down the old lady's spine, and she blurted out, "Your second uncle would never do such a thing."
Shen Tang laughed, "What if I say the second room has already done it?"
The crime of killing nine generations of a clan is no joke. Shen Sui asked, "What did the second branch do?"
Shen Tang looked at the old lady and said, "I dare not tell you, Grandma, for fear that you will be angry to death..."
The old lady said, "If you don't tell me, it will make Grandmother anxious to death."
Shen Tang asked, "Grandmother, do you still remember the flower viewing banquet at Prince Shun's mansion and how I was drugged and knocked unconscious?"
The old lady nodded.
It wasn't long since this happened, but even if it were longer, she would never forget it.
Shen Tang said, "That day, Shen Xian stuffed me into a box and wanted to send me out of Shun Wang Mansion. Prince Jingyang was so angry that he knocked her unconscious and threw her into the box. The people in Shun Wang Mansion were unaware of this and sent Shen Xian out of the mansion and gave her to the Prince of Changping..."
The old lady turned pale.
Everyone in Kyoto knew what kind of person the Prince of Changping was.
Nothing good will happen to Shen Xian if she falls into his hands.
The old lady remembered that Shen Xian had sprained her ankle the day she returned home...
Shen Tang skipped this part and continued, "On the day of the Queen's birthday banquet, Concubine Ye wanted to blame Shen Xian on the Prince of Jingyang. To retaliate, the Prince of Jingyang teamed up with the First Prince. They originally wanted to push Shen Xian onto the Prince of Changping and force him to take responsibility. But something went wrong. Without having time to discuss it with the Prince of Jingyang, the First Prince took the initiative and changed the name from the Prince of Changping to the Second Prince..."
The old lady's face was as white as a piece of paper.
Shen Tang still felt that this was not enough, so he bombarded her with two questions in quick succession, "Grandmother, do you know that the eldest young lady of the Wang family is very likely pregnant with the child of the Marquis of Changping?"
"Grandmother, do you know what kind of sin it is to confuse the royal bloodline?"
The old lady's hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the Buddhist beads.
Shen Sui also took a few breaths of cold air, "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell father?"
Shen Tang said, "I've told my father, but what next? Shen Xi plotted against me, so do I have to stand up for her? I don't have such a kind heart."
"What happens next is no longer under my control. All I can do is to completely sever ties between my father and the second wife, so that they will no longer be involved in our affairs."
