The man's face was gloomy as he said, "What crime did you commit?" But you, instead of admitting your wrongs at the first moment after you've done something wrong, instead of asking the young mistress to help you take on the blame, your crime increases by another level! "
As the man said that, his gaze turned to Shen Yuan Rong who was kneeling on the ground.
The Duke of Qin, also known as Shen Congren, was the father of the Duke of Qin's household. He was the head of the household and held the most authority in the household.
He was also one of the most trusted officials of the emperor. After killing Shen Congren by mistake in his previous life, the emperor still sighed with regret for a long time.
Hearing Shen Conggrong's words, her body trembled in fear.
She hadn't thought that she would meet her father in Shen Yuxi's room at this time of day. She had planned to have him arrive late …
She had come here in order to put up a good show in front of Shen Yuanxi and beg her not to speak of this matter again.
He didn't expect to see Shen Congren here, and even heard their conversation so clearly!
Shen Yuan Rong was panicking as she subconsciously looked towards Shen Yuan Xi.
Just as his head turned halfway, he was scolded by Shen Congren once again: "If you don't admit your wrongs and implicate others in your crimes, then my Duke of Qin's household shouldn't have such a useless girl like you! "Someone, send this woman away …"
"Father!" Shen Yuxi sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly called out, "Father, this matter is not to be allowed!"
Seeing that her father was silent, Shen Yuxi's heart was in turmoil.
However, she could not tolerate Shen Yuan Rong being sent away to live a good life.
She had yet to return the pain that they had inflicted on her in her previous life. She was truly unwilling to give up so easily.
Furthermore, Shen Yuangrong was sent away to the Residence of Duke of Qin for such a small matter, which had an impact on the reputation of the entire Mansion of Duke Qin.
"Father, if you want to send Second Sister out at this time, people will definitely criticize you. Not to mention, for the past two days, you have been punishing her one after the other, and now you are sending her off as a concubine. This will not be good for you."
"Father, it would be better to let my second sister meditate in her room, plagiarizing scriptures and nurturing her body for a few days. That would also be a good idea." Shen Yuxi softly advised her father when she saw that he didn't say anything.
Father Shen frowned. If he punished his two daughters in two consecutive days, he would indeed make people laugh.
Not to mention, one of them was the direct daughter. In this way, he would no longer be able to punish this bastard.
Fine, let's do as Yuanxi suggested.
"Since your sister has pleaded with you, you should stay in your room for a month to recuperate. I will send someone to deliver food to you. Don't go out this month, reflect on your mistakes!" Father Shen thought for a while, then shouted at Shen Yuan Rong.
Shen Yuangrong had cold sweat on her back when she first heard that she was going to be sent away. Luckily, she had to plead on her behalf, otherwise …
However, the more Shen Yuanxi acted this way, the more envious she became. Why was Shen Yuanxi loved so dearly by her father, but not by her?
With that, he stood up and walked to Shen Yuxi's side.
He bent down to rub her forehead and said gently, "Yuanxi, helping your younger brother and sister is indeed a praiseworthy task, but if you overdo it, that's not good. Since you've already woken up, take a good rest in the next few days. Prepare to accompany me to the national banquet five days from now."
Shen Yuan Rong who was kneeling on the ground had her head lowered and a ferocious expression was revealed on her face. She did not conceal the jealousy on her face.
Why? Why couldn't she attend the banquet?
Why was it that only Shen Yuxi could be favored by her father?
Why was it that only Shen Yuanxi could call her father, Abba?
She also yearned for her father's love and intimacy … She hated him so much, she hated him so much!
It was only then that Shen Yuanxi realized why she hadn't been able to socialize so much in her past life. It turned out that she had been unable to attend many state banquets, as well as other official and family banquets.
It was also because of this that Shen Yuan Rong had the chance to stand up for him.
After all, if the Duke of Qin's family attended the banquet without his daughter, they would be looked down upon. As the Duke of Qin, Ah'da cared the most about face, so after weighing the pros and cons, he brought Shen Yuan Rong along with him.
It was only because Shen Yuangrong had made a name for herself in these occasions that she became known as the 'number one talented girl'. Otherwise, given Shen Yuanxi's talent, how could she lose to her?
Furthermore, she was the legitimate daughter of the country's Duke. The things that Professor Mammy had given her were naturally much better than what Shen Yuorong had given her.
Shen Yuoxi sneered in her heart. In this life, she would never be able to pull off Shen Yuangrong's scheme again!
Shen Yuanxi smiled sweetly at her father, and nodded obediently. "I understand, father. I promise I won't embarrass you in the future."
Shen Jingbin's father nodded and left the room with a faint smile on his face.
When he left, he did not even look at Shen Yuan Rong who was kneeling on the ground.
This was also very normal, no matter how outstanding Shen Yuan Rong was, she was still a daughter.
So even in her previous life, her father didn't pay much attention to her because she was the most talented girl.
But compared to the other concubines, her father treated her much better. Even so, she was still not satisfied.
Seeing that her father had left, Shen Yuanxi looked at Shen Yuangrong who was still kneeling on the ground and said softly, "Sister, please get up. Father has already left."
Shen Yuan Rong moved her body and stood up. When she turned around, her face was already showing signs of being wronged and weak.
Shen Yuxi couldn't help but admire her acting skills. She hated Shi Xueman to her bones, but she still pretended to be weak on the outside.
However, it was a good thing that she had also learned these techniques.
In this life, she was going to use her own methods to deal with others, so that they would have a taste of her despair before her previous life's death!
"Big sister, Yuan Rong thanks big sister for her pleading. If it wasn't for big sister, I'm afraid that Yuan Rong would have …" Shen Yuan Rong covered her face with the handkerchief again and sobbed softly.
Shen Yuanxi's heart was filled with evil, but she had to put on an apologetic face. "Eldest sister is useless, and I can't plead for her to not be punished. I hope that second sister doesn't blame Eldest sister, okay?"
"In that case, I am relieved. Second Sister, it's getting late. You should also return quickly. Otherwise, if Abba finds out, he will probably punish you again." Shen Yuxi's face was soft, filled with concern.
However, only she herself knew that she was too lazy to play dumb with her.
Shen Yuangrong was also afraid that Shen Congqing would find an excuse to punish her. Hearing Shen Yuxi's words, she didn't linger any longer. She stood up, bade her farewell, and left Shen Yuxi's room.
When she returned to her own room, Shen Yuan Rong's expression turned dark and sinister. She threw the tea set on the table onto the floor and yelled out, gritting her teeth, "Shen Yuan Xi!"
