Chapter 649 You Must Like Me
"It seems that not only is your brain not very bright, but your hearing is also not very good. I say, you are far worse than Gu Qianhan."
Shen Wantang looked at Xiao Qingyuan coldly: "Oh, by the way, your memory seems to be very problematic. When I visited Prince Ning's mansion before, the prince said in front of all the female relatives that you would marry Liu Nanshi. How come you changed your mind so quickly after such a short time? The prince seems very unreliable!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale. "I haven't changed my mind. I was just deceived by Liu Nanshi! And you, were also deceived by Gu Qianhan. He is not a good person at all. He is much more cruel than me. He is not a good match at all!"
"I don't know if he's a good match, but at least he's not like the prince, who falls in love with every woman he meets and changes his heart faster than he changes his face."
Shen Wantang said, glancing at Shen Guannian again, and casually said, "What's more, the marriage was arranged by my father. He personally picked Gu Qianhan as his son-in-law. If there really was something wrong with Gu Qianhan, my father wouldn't let me marry him. He always loves his daughter and wouldn't push her into trouble."
Shen Guannian was suddenly held up by her, and he couldn't even say the words he wanted to scold Shen Wantang!
"Master Shen."
Xiao Qingyuan finally stopped calling him "father-in-law." "Tell me, why did you choose the Duke's Mansion when both our Ning Palace and the Duke's Mansion proposed marriage at the same time? Could it be that you look down on our Ning Palace?"
Shen Guannian's forehead was slightly sweaty. He quickly said, "Your Highness, that's not right. Prince Ning's Mansion is one of the most prestigious families in the capital. How could I possibly look down on it? I can't wait to make friends with them!"
"Oh, so you look down on me, the Prince of Ning?"
"How is this possible! The Crown Prince is so handsome and comes from such a distinguished family. Who in the capital wouldn't want to marry their daughter to him?"
"Then why did you choose Gu Qianhan and not me?!"
"This……"
Shen Guannian sighed. He glanced at Shen Wantang and said, "Your Highness, you don't know this. Second Young Master Gu is a completely unreasonable person. He came to our house late one night and forced me to agree to marry Tang'er to him! If I didn't agree, he would beat me and even kill me. In order to survive, I had no choice but to let Tang'er go."
Xiao Qingyuan was shocked: "Gu Qianhan is a madman, he even wants to kill his future father-in-law?"
Shen Wantang frowned, "Father, is this just a fabrication? How come I don't know about this?"
Shen Guannian looked at her unhappily, "Of course you don't know. He was just afraid that you'd find out, so he came here in the middle of the night, bringing a bunch of his men with him. They were so aggressive and domineering! Besides, he forbad me to tell you about this, so just pretend you know nothing. Don't ask him, or I'm afraid he'll beat me up again!"
Shen Wantang was stunned. She carefully observed Shen Guannian's expression and tone and found that he didn't seem to be lying!
The fear in his eyes and the hatred in his tone were too real to be acted.
No wonder, Shen Guannian had previously wanted to let the Duke's Mansion and the Prince Ning's Mansion compete with each other. He would agree to the marriage proposal from whoever offered the highest price and gave him more benefits. But later on, he did not mention the benefits at all and directly decided to marry with the Duke's Mansion.
She had been wondering why he didn't want any benefits. Did he get beaten by Gu Qianhan?!
"Shen Wantang, now you know what kind of person Gu Qianhan is, right? He will do anything to achieve his goals!"
Xiao Qingyuan took the opportunity to add insult to injury: "If you marry him, you will definitely have a hard time! He is such a cold-blooded person, he has no sympathy for women at all!"
Shen Wantang didn't say anything, because she actually felt that it was not a good thing for a man to be too gentle with women.
Just like Xiao Qingyuan, in his previous life he had pity on every woman, even the daughter of the corrupt official Ye Chongli. He pitied her so much that he brought her back to the palace and went around seeking justice for her father.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Qingyuan thought she was wavering, so he changed his tone and said gently: "Tang'er, you should not marry him, marry me!"
Shen Wantang flatly refused: "I won't marry you. I don't like you."
"I know you may have some misunderstandings about me. After all, I always said that I wanted to marry Liu Nanshi before. It's normal for you to mistakenly think that I like Liu Nanshi. But I am telling you very seriously and responsibly now that I don't like Liu Nanshi. The person I like is you!"
"I have no misunderstanding about you. No matter who you like, I don't like you!"
"So you're just mad at me? You're upset that I publicly disgraced you when we were in the palace?"
"You're overthinking it. I'm not angry. I just really don't like you! Don't be so self-indulgent. Leave our house immediately and don't come here again!"
"I don't believe it. You definitely like me, you just don't want to admit it."
Shen Wantang: “…”
In her previous life, she watched coldly from the sidelines, watching Xiao Qingyuan always make Princess Ning so angry that she jumped up and down, and even vomited blood, but she never felt much.
In this life, she finally got her retribution, and she finally understood the collapse that Princess Ning felt at that time.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qingyuan was completely unaware of her breakdown and continued talking to himself.
Shen Guannian was also there to help him speak, as if he was selling the woman to two men.
Shen Wantang finally couldn't help but ask the question in her heart: "Could it be that Father wants to break off the engagement? Aren't you afraid of the Duke's Mansion's wrath? Aren't you afraid that Gu Qianhan will come and beat you again? Do you think that with Prince Ning's Mansion and Prince Xiao protecting you, everything will be fine?"
However, Shen Guannian said confidently, "How could I possibly regret the engagement? If anyone wants to regret it, it should be you. If you insist on marrying Prince Xiao, what can Gu Qianhan do to you?"
"Prince Xiao is much more sincere than Gu Qianhan. He brought me great news right away: your father has been reinstated! Tang'er, you were deeply moved by the good news, so you broke off the engagement. How reasonable!"
"What's more, Prince Xiao is so gentle and polite, and he treats you with great consideration and patience. He is much more humane than the cold and ruthless Gu Qianhan. He is a good man to live with. Naturally, you fell for him the moment you saw him!"
"You've fallen in love with Prince Xiao and don't want to marry Gu Qianhan. As your father, there's nothing I can do. Even if Gu Qianhan comes after me to settle the score, I won't hesitate! If he wants to blame you, he can blame himself for not winning your heart, but he can't blame me!"
Shen Wantang felt his blood boiling, and he wished he could beat up Shen Guannian like Gu Qianhan did!
He is really her biological father. He is so calculating. He cleared himself of all blame and put all the responsibility on her, his daughter!
No wonder he was fearless. It turned out that he had planned long ago to push her out to vent his anger on the Duke's Mansion and Gu Qianhan!
