On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!
Chapter 23 Departure
"What's the point of making such a scene?"
The door opened and Shen Wantang walked out gracefully. His heroic eyes fell on Shen Ying who was rolling around in a tantrum.
Hearing the movement coming from the room, the servants finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.
"Aren't you a lady from a noble family on weekdays? How come you have become such a bitch now?" Shen Wantang walked forward slowly, lowered his eyes, and spoke coldly.
When she saw that the person coming was Shen Wantang, Shen Ying stopped crying abruptly.
He raised his eyes, stood up as if nothing had happened, and patted the dust off his body: "I'm looking for my father, not you."
Shen Wantang's gaze also followed Shen Ying.
"What do you want from me?" General Shen walked out slowly and raised his eyes indifferently.
The moment she saw General Shen, Shen Ying's face was instantly filled with grievances. She collapsed on General Shen's body and sobbed softly, "Father, when you are not at home, Ying'er's life is so hard..."
"The servants are bullying their master. They locked my mother in the room and didn't even listen to your orders. Even I can't go to see my mother. Father, your daughter is so sad!"
As he spoke, Shen Ying hugged General Shen's arm and shook his father's arm like a child.
General Shen stood aside and sighed helplessly: "You reached the age of marriage last year, and your mother is not convenient to go out to find a marriage for you. During this period of time, you should stay at home and learn to work. When I come back, I will find a good marriage for you."
Although he did not want Shen Ying to be born, now that she is born, he has to be responsible for her.
If her mother had not been a concubine, her marriage should have been arranged when she came of age, but it was delayed for a whole year.
Shen Wantang did not say anything. Marrying Shen Ying off could avoid some risks.
It's better than her stealing her father's letters and defecting to the enemy camp.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was the most unhappy was Shen Ying.
She put down her father's hand, looked at him with resentful eyes, pouted her lips and said, "Father, are you so anxious to marry your daughter off?"
"My sister is still unmarried, and I am her family member. This is probably against the rules!"
Shen Ying changed the subject and her provocative gaze fell on Shen Wantang.
"My sister rejected the emperor's marriage proposal in the court. Now there are rumors in the capital that it is difficult for my daughter of the Shen family to get married. How can there be a good family for my daughter?"
This is not true, but it is also true.
Apart from Shen Wantang, there is no other girl in the capital who has military merits.
The reason why she was known as difficult to marry was because the Shen family was too wealthy and no one dared to propose, not because they refused marriage in public.
This was clearly aimed at her. Shen Wantang curled her lips and smiled calmly: "Since there are such rumors, you should get married and let the people in the capital see that the people of my Shen family are not as the rumors say. You can also gain face in the capital. Isn't this what you have always wanted?"
The words he had just said came back to haunt him like a bolt from the blue.
Shen Ying was speechless and choked, standing there looking at Shen Wantang hatefully.
"For so many years, my sister has always dominated our father. He taught you to read and write, and also taught you martial arts. But what about me? What have I learned?"
After a long silence, Shen Ying opened her mouth tremblingly, tears falling as soon as they fell. She was able to act better than the actors in the opera theater.
"When you were young, your father asked you to practice martial arts, but Aunt Liu stopped you from learning. When you grew up, your father wanted to send you to the girls' school at the governor's house, but Aunt Liu also stopped you. Now, after what you said, it's your father's fault?"
Shen Wantang's tone paused, with a sneer on his lips.
Each and every one of these things is well documented.
Now, Shen Ying really has nothing to say.
If there was no trouble today, the family could still live on. General Shen would turn a blind eye and pretend that what happened before had never happened. He would deal with Aunt Liu, the culprit, after Shen Ying got married.
"Go back to your room and reflect on your mistakes for three months. You are not allowed to go out without my order!" General Shen's tone sank as he looked at his disappointing daughter.
Shen Ying panicked and hurriedly grabbed her father's sleeve.
"Dad, father, I was wrong! I know I was wrong..."
But it was too late. The nanny beside her dragged her away. Shen Ying's desperate eyes fell on Shen Wantang. Then, her angry voice echoed in the yard: "Shen Wantang, you must have said bad things about me to my father! You are such a villain! I can never coexist with you!"
So what if they are from the same mansion and cannot coexist with each other?
Shen Wantang lowered his eyes and shook his head helplessly - he was totally ignorant.
The three-day deadline is approaching.
It was pitch black outside the city, and everyone was just waiting for Cen Xiao's order to head towards the mountain city.
On the city wall, a bright yellow light slowly appeared, leaning over to look at the people below the city wall, with an unquestionable suspicion in its eyes.
"Your Highness." Cen Xiao, dressed in armor, appeared aside.
The suspicion in Ji Xunchuan's eyes finally subsided a little, turning into a smile that spread across his eyes.
"Prince Cen, I will leave the uprising army in Shancheng to you with confidence."
"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."
Cen Xiao frowned, bid farewell to Ji Xunchuan, and went down the city wall alone.
Among the sea of black soldiers, a touch of crimson was particularly noticeable.
Ji Xunchuan's eyes were caught by the red color, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Cen Xiao jumped onto the horse.
"drive!"
The rough voice echoed outside the city, and then the soldiers followed closely and set out towards the mountain city.
Most of the rebels gathered near the mountain city. General Shen was assigned to go to Lu County to make judgments and set out the day before.
This time, Shen Wantang couldn't help but feel nervous -
Ji Xunchuan is suspicious by nature, so naturally he won't let their journey go too smoothly.
Even though the Cen family's army was brave and good at fighting, they could not withstand the sneak attack from behind.
"What are you thinking about?"
A voice interrupted Shen Wantang's thoughts. She turned her head and ran into the man's inquiring gaze.
"Nothing." She lowered her eyes and couldn't help but tighten the reins in her hands.
Cen Xiao did not ask any further questions. He waved his hand and threw a purse to Shen Wantang.
Shen Wantang was confused, but after taking a look at the embroidery pattern on the purse, she understood everything.
"What did His Highness Lian Zhao ask you to give me?"
She was too lazy to play guessing and asked directly.
Cen Xiao smiled appreciatively, but slowly said, "He said this is the recipe to remove the remaining poison."
After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he tightly grasped the purse in his hand - he didn't know whether Lian Zhao had told Cen Xiao everything about the poisoning.
She didn't say anything else, as if waiting for Cen Xiao's question.
On this matter, the two of them had a tacit understanding.
After a long silence, Shen Wantang finally asked, "Aren't you going to ask me what kind of poison I was poisoned by?"
