After a tragic death and rebirth, I became the regent's favorite

This was indeed a setup. She admitted that if Wei Mengling and Yun Qian had not provoked her at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, she could have actually kept the two families for a few more days.

But they happened to provoke her, so it's no wonder that she started with these two.

……

"Miss, Fu Sheng, who is with the Prime Minister, is here and wants you to go to the study."

Meng Dong's voice sounded outside the door. At this time, Shen Moyu had just got up and Li Yue was helping her put on clothes.

"I heard that the Prime Minister came back very late yesterday. Why did he come to you so early in the morning?"

"My grandmother is angry, and my father will complain when he comes back."

Shen Moyu didn't think it was strange. Old Mrs. Shen didn't get anything good from her, so she always wanted to make it up to her son.

"The Prime Minister loves you so much, I think he is just asking, he won't really blame you."

Li Yue had a good impression of Shen Lingfeng. In the Shen family, besides the lady, the only ones who loved their daughters the most were the prime minister.

Shen Moyou did not answer Li Yue's words, but lightly applied a layer of lip balm and said, "Let's go."

study.

Shen Lingfeng sat at the desk, watching Shen Moyu coming in, with complicated emotions in his eyes. He felt that Shen Moyu seemed to have changed, become a little strange.

As soon as he came back yesterday, his mother complained to him, saying that Shen Moyu not only deliberately caused Shen Lian'er to lose the competition at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but also offended the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince.

But before, Shen Moyu had clearly told him that she had admired the Seventh Prince for a long time and wanted to wait until she reached the age of 15 to marry him. How could there be such a big change in just over a month?

"Father."

Shen Moyou called out softly, interrupting Shen Lingfeng's thoughts, "Fu Sheng said you were looking for me."

"Oh, I heard from your grandmother that you embarrassed Lian'er in public at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, won the chess game against the Seventh Prince, and even contradicted the Crown Prince. Is this true?"

Shen Moyou's eyes flashed with surprise. When Shen Lingfeng arrived home last night, it must have been midnight! ?

It really opened her eyes that Shen Lian'er and the old lady could actually file a complaint in such detail.

"Father, Third Sister lost the competition on her own. Everyone at the Hundred Flowers Banquet saw it. If you don't believe me, just send someone to ask her."

Shen Moyu's voice was choked with sobs, and she looked at Shen Lingfeng with red eyes, as if she was about to cry.

Doesn’t Shen Lian’er like to pretend to be weak?

Then she should try it out too, to see who is weaker?

"Then you played chess with the Seventh Prince and won him twice, and you deliberately teased him both times. Even the Crown Prince couldn't stand it. Lian'er didn't wrongly accuse you of this matter."

The more Shen Lingfeng spoke, the tighter his frown became. "Oh, didn't you tell me last time that you liked the Seventh Prince? I thought you were serious and were planning to find a chance to go to the palace and ask His Majesty for permission."

Shen Moyu knew that since Shen Lingfeng said that, he was definitely not joking with her.

"Father, you misunderstood. Last time, I was ignorant and wanted to be with the Seventh Prince. But I have thought it through. There is a huge difference between the Seventh Prince and me. Please give up this idea, Father."

Shen Lingfeng looked at his daughter, who had grown into a beautiful young lady, and suddenly he felt confused.

"So you deliberately embarrassed the Seventh Prince at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

"That's not the case. It was the Seventh Prince who wanted to compete with me first. Father, think about it carefully. His Highness is of noble status. How could I risk offending him? As for the Crown Prince, I don't have the courage to do so."

Shen Moyou denied it repeatedly, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes.

"Could it be that Third Sister lost the competition and was not convinced, so she deliberately wronged me? After all, my aunt is now the second daughter of the Marquis of Wuyang, and she is no longer the same as before. If my daughter is really disliked by my father, wouldn't that be exactly what Third Sister wants?"

When it comes to tea art, she is no worse than Shen Lian'er, but she was too stubborn in her previous life and disdained to do some things.

After Shen Moyu said this, Shen Lingfeng immediately showed a guilty expression, but the words he said did not contain much apology, but rather a lesson.

"Oh, father is just asking you. After all, your grandmother is your elder. Even if you haven't done it, you shouldn't talk back to her. I heard that Rongshengtang called a doctor a few days ago. Oh, this is your ignorance."

"Did you call the doctor?"

Shen Moyou pretended to be surprised. "But when my mother and I left Rongsheng Hall, grandma was still fine. You know, Jichun knows medicine. I asked her to check grandma's pulse and make sure she was fine before leaving. My mother can testify to this."

"You mean your grandmother lied to you?"

Shen Lingfeng's tone became a little more stern, "Oh, you used to be the most sensible, how come you have learned to make up stories about your elders now?"

"My daughter didn't mean that. It's just that father believed grandmother's one-sided words. Is that right? Besides, grandmother has always liked third sister more. Who can guarantee that she won't be particularly partial to third sister because of aunt's different status now?"

She knew Shen Lingfeng's personality. Although he was very suspicious, he always acted dignified and pretended to love his wife and daughter.

"Your grandmother is not such a person. I will find out the truth about this matter."

Shen Lingfeng's words were all about defending the old lady, which made Shen Moyu feel a little bit disappointed.

"Whatever my father says is what it is."

She had said everything she needed to say, so naturally she no longer had any hope in Shen Lingfeng as a father.

"Don't rush to reject the Seventh Prince's matter. If you can really catch his eye, it will be a good thing for you and the Shen family."

Shen Lingfeng's words completely chilled Shen Moyu's already chilled heart.

"Father, I don't like the Seventh Prince, and there is no way I can marry him."

Now, she only had disgust and hatred towards Xiao Ting, but she still couldn't figure out why Shen Lingfeng was so eager to stand in Xiao Ting's camp when the crown prince was still in the court?

Is there some secret that she doesn't know?

Shen Lingfeng didn't expect that even after he made it clear, Shen Moyu could still refuse so straightforwardly.

"What's wrong with the Seventh Prince? He is the Queen's legitimate son, and he is not much older than you. Marrying into the royal family is the dream of many girls from aristocratic families. Why are you avoiding him like the plague?"

Every word of Shen Lingfeng's questioning was like a knife stabbing into Shen Moyu's heart.

She lowered her eyes to look at Shen Lingfeng who was sitting at the desk, and felt more and more that she was so foolish in her previous life that she actually thought that she was happy to have a father who loved her.

It turns out that they are all fake!

"Then I want to ask my father, there are so many princes in the court, but none of them have concubines. Why do you insist that I marry the Seventh Prince?"

Shen Moyu's eyes were sharp. Even if it was just her paranoia, she wanted to give Shen Lingfeng another chance.

A chance for her to die with a clear conscience and completely give up on Shen Lingfeng as her father.

Shen Lingfeng did not explain, but used his father's authority to restrain her.

"Since ancient times, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers. You must marry whoever I tell you to marry. Why should I ask you to marry me? Since you are the legitimate daughter of the Shen family and my daughter, Shen Lingfeng, this is what you should do."
