Does Shen Tao Really Not Want Me Anymore?
With reddened eyes, Qin Shuang said, "Shen Bin, is this how you treat your mother?"
Shen Bin said calmly, "When you did that kind of thing, you were no longer my mother."
Qin Shuang said loudly:
"What did I do wrong? If it weren't for Zhou Wanwan, how could things have turned out like this?"
Shen Tao wouldn't have divorced me, and things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Shen Bin looked at Qin Shuang seriously and said:
"Qin Shuang, you don't deserve to be a mother. Shen Tao has already done more than enough for you."
He's already been very kind of him not to target us because of these things, and you're still not satisfied."
Qin Shuang laughed heartily:
"You mean I should thank him for everything? You mean I've done all the right thing?"
Do you know I'm ruined? Do you know how much pain I'm in?
Do you know that after I walked out, they were all laughing at me behind my back?
They said I was shameless and despicable...
Qin Shuang became more and more excited as she spoke, Shen Miaomiao nodded and said:
"Aren't they just telling the truth? What's there to feel wronged about? You did it, and now you're blaming others for what they say?"
Besides, what does this have to do with Shen Tao? Isn't he the one who's most unlucky?
He earned so much money in his lifetime, bought us a house, and what happened? It's all gone."
Qin Shuang's expression darkened further. "The three of you are definitely biased towards him, but he's not your biological father."
Shen Miaomiao nodded and said, "That's right! He's not my biological father, and that's actually a good thing."
Qin Shuang frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"It doesn't mean anything, I just think it's pretty good."
Shen Miaomiao ignored her and left with her group.
Qin Shuang gritted her teeth in anger, when her cousin Jiang Ce stepped forward and said, "Shuang'er, don't be angry."
Qin Shuang's eyes reddened with anger as she said, "They're a bunch of ingrates! I've been so good to them, and they actually side with Shen Tao."
Jiang Ce comforted him:
"These are all ungrateful wretches. My thought is, anyway, they're your sons and your daughters."
Aren't those things in their hands ours?
I'm thinking of having them acknowledge their ancestors and return to their roots. What do you think?
Qin Shuang's eyes lit up and she said:
"Great idea! How come I didn't think of that!"
Let them acknowledge their ancestors and return to their roots. Then, wouldn't everything they have be ours?
Jiang Ce nodded and said, "When they're added to the Jiang Family's genealogy, we'll find a way to get them to hand over the items."
Qin Shuang sighed and said, "But I always feel like they won't listen to me."
Jiang Ce laughed and said, "It's alright, we'll take it slow! Let's get our hands on Shen Miaomiao's things first."
Shen Miaomiao owns two estates, a shop, and a house.
These were originally intended as her dowry.
Qin Shuang said calmly, "I'm afraid Miaomiao won't agree to this."
Jiang Ce sneered:
"What ideas could a little girl like her have?"
We'll go tomorrow. We're her parents; she has no choice but to acknowledge us."
Early the next morning, Jiang Ce and Qin Shuang took the Jiang Family to Shen Miaomiao's place.
Shen Miaomiao had just woken up when she saw a bunch of the Jiang Family relatives rushing in.
Shen Miaomiao looked at them and said, "Who are you? Where did you come from? This is my home, get out!"
Jiang Ce smiled and said, "Daughter, these are all your family members!"
Shen Miaomiao glared at Jiang Ce and said:
"What kind of family are you? I don't have family like you!"
This is my house. Get out now, or I'll call the police.
Qin Shuang walked in and said:
"Shen Miaomiao, you've really grown up now! Jiang Ce is your father, and these are all members of the Jiang Family."
We're here today to discuss your marriage. Anyway, we've already received the betrothal gifts, so you have to marry him whether you like it or not!
Shen Miaomiao had never seen such a shameless person.
She wanted to argue, but Qin Shuang stepped forward and slapped her across the face.
"You brat, Shen Tao has spoiled you since you were little, but I won't."
Marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers; you have no say in it.
Shen Miaomiao was trembling with anger, tears welling up in her eyes, but she was helpless.
The Jiang Family sent over 100 people today; they came prepared.
Qin Shuang said:
"Shen Miaomiao, you're a girl, you don't understand anything, you probably can't even understand the account books."
So I'll manage that estate and that shop for you!
Shen Miaomiao glared at her and said:
"Qin Shuang, I've been using an abacus since I was five years old, and you're saying I don't know how to manage a shop?"
I am proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; I am considered a talented woman in the capital.
Qin Shuang chuckled and said, "So what? That doesn't change the fact that you're going to marry a fool."
"I'm not marrying a fool! Qin Shuang, let me go!"
Jiang Lineage's servants were holding Shen Miaomiao captive. Seeing this, Qin Shuang said, "Lock her in the woodshed. Release her the day after tomorrow when the wedding is held."
Shen Miaomiao looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Qin Shuang, how could you do this? I'm your own daughter!"
Qin Shuang sneered:
"So what if she's my own daughter? You're not even close to me. You should stay in the woodshed and reflect on your actions."
"I'll let you out when you've figured things out."
Shen Miaomiao was immediately locked in the woodshed.
Qin Shuang strolled around the courtyard with Jiang Ce. Jiang Ce said, "You know what, Shen Tao is really good to Shen Miaomiao. Look at this courtyard, it's three courtyards, so grand."
Qin Shuang looked at the courtyard and said:
"That's really good. Your parents and your brothers can move in then."
"With the whole family living here, it will become more and more lively."
Jiang Ce nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Then it's settled. The little girl's yard is so nice."
Wouldn't our eldest son and second son have better houses?
Qin Shuang shook her head and said:
"Who said that? This is a three-tiered family; the eldest and second eldest are both two-tiered families."
Shen Tao has doted on this girl since she was little, treating her Mingzhu.
Jiang Ce laughed heartily:
"So what if Shen Tao is so powerful? He still raised two sons and a daughter for me."
To be honest, I really admire Shen Tao. Anyone else in his shoes would have spread the word far and wide, but he remained completely silent.
Qin Shuang said with a half-smile:
"Just you wait and see! If he really marries this girl off to a fool, Shen Tao will definitely not be willing to do it."
I'd definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to redeem her.
If he's willing to give us several hundred thousand taels, we might as well grant his wish. After all, this brat is useless.
Jiang Ce nodded and said, "That's a good idea, but I don't know if Shen Tao will be willing to pay that much money."
Qin Shuang chuckled and said, "She'll definitely be willing."
Shen Miaomiao cried her heart out, but everyone here was from the Jiang Family, and no one paid any attention to her.
When it was time to eat, people outside gave her a plate of spoiled leftovers.
Shen Miaomiao almost threw up; she was so hungry she was dizzy. "Shen Tao... Waaah! When are you coming to save me?"
Then Zhou Wanwan climbed in through the window and said, "Wow! You've been having such a hard time!"
Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up, and she scrambled to her feet, saying, "Wanwan, hurry and get me out of here! No, no, I should call you Master, Master, please hurry and save me!"
Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said, "No, Miaomiao, you still have to stay here."
Shen Miaomiao asked anxiously, "Why?"
Zhou Wanwan said, "Of course, it's to see how Shen Tao feels about you! Never mind, let's eat dinner first."
Shen Miaomiao sniffed and said, "Hmm, does Shen Tao really not want me anymore?"
Zhou Wanwan comforted her:
No, he just doesn't know you're locked up yet.
If they had known, they would definitely have come looking for you.
Shen Miaomiao said with a wronged expression:
They took everything from my name.
These Jiang Family members are like robbers, what should I do?
"The Jiang Family? Like robbers?"
