Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

Shen Yiran heard this, smiled and thanked him, "Then I'll go see my father first."

Shen Li and Shen Yunyan immediately walked to another road with stern faces. As soon as they separated, they carefully looked at the jewelry in their hands.

When Shen Li held it on her wrist, she felt that her skin had become much smoother.

"The Marquis' Mansion is indeed different. These things are of tribute quality, right?"

Shen Li said with some sourness.

Shen Yunyan snorted coldly: "These things are nothing. Although Marquis Rui is a steward, his family is indeed very wealthy. The old lady in the Marquis's mansion is smart. She took advantage of the war in Kyoto decades ago to buy land at a low price."

"Now it's ostensibly opening a shop, but in reality it's collecting rent. This matter is very secretive and will not be handed over to the housekeeper. It's all managed by the old lady herself. I can see that the Marquis, no one else knows."

Shen Li heard this and looked at Shen Yunyan curiously: "How do you know so clearly?"

Can it be unclear?

In her previous life, Shen Yunyan married into a marquis's mansion.

"I heard it."

Shen Yunyan didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she took Shen Li back to her room and put the jewelry here with Shen Li: "Then mother, I'm going back, lest my father chase me away later."

Shen Li heard this and said worriedly, "Can you not bring more money with you?"

"No! Song Qi should have taken care of me, why should I pay him?"

After saying that, Shen Yunyan went back in the Shen family's carriage.

Shen Yiran went around to Shen Liang's study and saw that Shen Liang was indeed inside.

He looked relaxed, holding the brush in his hand and writing freely and elegantly. It turned out that he was not worried at all about losing his official position.

"Father."

Shen Yiran called out crisply.

Shen Liang frowned instantly, looked up at the door, and when he saw that it was Shen Yiran, his brows deepened.

Shen Yiran didn't take it seriously. He walked in and put a ginseng box on the table.

"Father is practicing calligraphy again? I remember that father would only pick up the brush when he was in a relaxed mood. After resigning from office, father seemed to be quite open-minded."

Shen Liang put down his brush, obviously not in the mood to write.

"Father, there is actually no need for you to resign, right?"

Shen Yiran poured a cup of tea and brought it over. Shen Liang didn't take it, so she put it on the table and lowered her head to read Shen Liang's words.

"My father's handwriting has become more and more elegant and graceful. This is a perfect imitation of the snowy and clear paste!"

Shen Liang coughed and said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell the Marquis that he didn't need to come to see me? Didn't he tell you?"

Shen Yiran nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Of course the Marquis said so, so I have never come to visit my father."

"As for why I came today, it's because I ran into my stepmother on the street these few days. She kept mocking me for being unfilial. I thought maybe this was what father thought and you were just speaking in anger, so I quickly bought some things and came to visit father."

Shen Liang curled his lips when he heard this: "You're always running around with Shen Yunyan and talking nonsense!"

Shen Yiran did not want to take the opportunity to harm Shen Li, what she wanted to know was the truth behind Shen Liang's resignation.

"Father, as I said, there is no need for you to resign, right? My sister is already married. Even if something happened, who doesn't know that it was the prince who seduced her?"

Shen Liang picked up the teacup and drank without saying a word.

Shen Yiran wanted to know the reason today, so he asked, "Father, do you have any unspeakable secrets? Or do you know what is going to happen and don't want to be affected?"

Shen Liang suddenly raised his head, staring at Shen Yiran with sharp eyes: "What do you mean?"

Shen Yiran smiled and said, "My father didn't tell me the real reason, so I just guessed. Oh, could it be that I guessed it right?"

Shen Liang looked unhappy, staring at Shen Yiran coldly: "You are not here to visit me today, but to spy on me?"

Shen Yiran had never been liked by Shen Liang since childhood, so he tried extra hard to please him and was a little afraid of Shen Liang.

But that was all in the previous life. After being reborn, Shen Yiran had already viewed family affection as something he should understand. There was no need to please others, so naturally there was no need to be afraid.

"My daughter just heard what happened in the mansion from the Marquis and thought of my father."

"Father has always been valued by outsiders because of his good reputation, but I am his daughter after all, and I understand his style of doing things. You have been an official for decades, not because of your good reputation, but because of your prudence."

"You are always able to detect changes in power in the officialdom and make predictions in advance. Although you don't rely on any power, you can still stand firm in the cracks. Although you can't be promoted, there is no risk of being demoted."

"Father, you are such a steady person and you value your reputation very much. How could you resign because of some rumors? Isn't this just making the rumors true?"

Shen Yiran smiled and shook his head. Amid Shen Liang's growing suspicion, he finally said, "There are many ways to clear your name, but you chose to resign. I really can't understand."

Shen Liang said in a deep voice: "I am only thinking about Yan'er's reputation."

Shen Yiran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Father would like to stay away from these things. Even if it is a close relative who does something that embarrasses you, you will not cover it up for personal reasons. Otherwise, where does your good reputation come from?"

"Father, now that things have come to this, why not tell me the truth? I'm here today anyway."

Shen Liang's eyes flashed.

Yes, Shen Yiran is here today, and everything is going to change. We had managed to avoid this with great difficulty...

Shen Liang's brows relaxed, but his face became even darker. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and slapped Shen Yiran in the face.

The force was so great that Shen Yiran fell to the ground, and his cheeks instantly became red and swollen.

Shen Yiran widened his eyes and looked at Shen Liang without saying anything.

Shen Liang kicked the stool hard and it hit the door, breaking it.

He raised his voice and cursed, "How dare you question your father? I am useless. The daughters I taught are all unruly. Get out of here!"

"Does father really want to do this?"

Shen Yiran held her face in her hands, but her expression showed no fear or grievance. Instead, she smiled sarcastically. However, her cheeks hurt so much that she couldn't smile.

"Someone, kick Shen Yiran out! Don't come to our house again!"

Immediately a maid came up and pulled Shen Yiran away.

Shen Yiran said loudly: "No need, I can go by myself!"

The maids had no choice but to let go and follow Shen Yiran out.

Shen Li was worried about Shen Yunyan, but she heard the maid running to say that Shen Yiran was beaten. She was in a good mood and immediately rushed over to watch the fun. If she got the chance, she would even add fuel to the fire.

Just then I saw Shen Yiran walking by with a swollen cheek.

"Ah, it looks like your father is really mad. From childhood to adulthood, whenever you were disobedient, your father never hit you! Tsk tsk! Master, are you okay? Calm down!"
