Chapter 109 Are You Not Sure Enough?
During this trip, Shen Qingwan didn't buy anything and was only concerned with losing money, but Shen Tangan enjoyed his shopping very much.
"Sister, I'm tired. Shall we go to the teahouse and sit down?"
Shen Tangan just looked around casually and bought two or three simple pieces of jewelry.
Shen Qingwan didn't buy anything and was already heavily in debt. The money she had was not enough to compensate the store. She had to persuade the store owner with all her might to forgive her and have someone deliver the money to her on another day, and she even signed a seal.
Seeing her so leisurely, he couldn't help feeling angry, but he didn't dare to show it and could only suppress his anger.
Shen Qingwan tried hard to force a smile and replied, "Okay, sister." The two of them went to the teahouse together and chose a seat by the window.
Dr. Tea quickly brought the hot tea, and the steam rising up blurred Shen Qingwan's vision.
Shen Tangan took a sip of tea, sighed with contentment, and began to talk enthusiastically about the jewelry he had just seen.
Shen Qingwan was absent-minded, her mind was full of her debts and she felt full of regret.
"Sister, why do you look so worried?"
Shen Tangan noticed something was wrong with Shen Qingwan and asked with concern.
"Nothing, sister, there's no need to worry about me. I'm just making myself miserable."
Shen Qingwan snorted disdainfully. Now he was pretending to care about her, but he was just trying to take the opportunity to make fun of her.
"It seems my sister doesn't need it, but I am doing something unnecessary."
Shen Tangan took a sip of tea, a sneer flashing in his eyes.
I guess the compensation money is enough to make her worried and anxious.
More and more people came into the teahouse, and the noisy noise made Shen Qingwan even more irritated.
Suddenly, a group of people behind me started talking.
"You have heard that the second young lady of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is actually a concubine's daughter."
"Is it true? Please tell me in detail."
"That concubine Zheng in the Marquis's mansion is actually the concubine that the Marquis of Yong'an keeps outside. The second daughter may be even older than the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion!"
"I've heard about this, too. The second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion snatched the engagement of the eldest young lady. I don't know what means she used to confuse the prince and make him break off the engagement and marry her instead."
"How shameless! I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Those people cursed indignantly, not knowing that the protagonist was sitting right behind them.
Shen Qingwan's face looked extremely ugly, and she was unaware that her nails were digging into her flesh.
She is the shameless mistress they are talking about!
When Shen Tangan heard these discussions, he raised his eyes slightly and his gaze slowly fell on Shen Qingwan.
Her face still looked calm, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
She gently put down the delicate teacup in her hand, only to see Shen Qingwan's face was pale and bloodless, her body trembling slightly, like a flower shivering in the wind, so fragile and helpless.
"Sister, these people are talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
Shen Tangan said softly, his tone seemed full of concern, but there was a hint of imperceptible indifference in his eyes.
Her voice was like the spring breeze, gentle but with a hint of falsehood.
Shen Qingwan bit her lips so hard that they almost lost their color.
The anger in her heart was like a volcano about to erupt, surging and rolling in her chest.
It is really despicable that this group of unruly people dared to talk about her so much outside. So what if she is a concubine's daughter?
Without evidence, it’s all rumors!
She and the prince were in love with each other, so on what basis did these people say that she had snatched Shen Tangan's engagement?
The prince is obviously hers!
"Sister, you don't have to comfort me. You should be very proud to hear them say this, right?"
Shen Qingwan suddenly raised her head and glared at Shen Tangan angrily.
There was rage burning in her eyes, as if she could see through Shen Tangan.
Don't think that she doesn't know what Shen Tangan is thinking. He clearly wants to laugh at her, but he still pretends to be hypocritical to comfort her.
Shen Tangan was slightly startled, and a flash of surprise flashed across her face. Then, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was a bit hypocritical.
"Sister, what are you talking about? How can I be proud? You and I are sisters, so I naturally hope you are well."
Her words were as gentle as falling petals, but the coldness in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
Although her voice was gentle, every word seemed to carry thorns, piercing Shen Qingwan's heart.
"You obviously want to laugh at me. It was you who suggested opening this teahouse. Did you arrange these people?"
Shen Qingwan stared at her hatefully, trying to find a flaw on her face.
But Shen Tangan remained indifferent from beginning to end, and his calmness made her hate him so much.
"It's just a coincidence. You don't have to be so sensitive, sister."
Shen Qingwan glared at Shen Tangan, and the suspicion in her heart grew stronger.
She absolutely did not believe that all this was just a coincidence. Shen Tangan had always been at odds with her. Now that something like this had happened, she was definitely involved.
"Humph, coincidence? There are not so many coincidences. Shen Tangan, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You have always been jealous of me getting the favor of the prince, so you try every means to discredit me."
Shen Qingwan spoke fiercely and could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
Shen Tangan frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Sister, why should I be jealous of you? I have never done anything to let you down. You just deserve it."
"You're still trying to make excuses! If you hadn't suggested coming to the teahouse today, how could I have heard these unbearable words? You clearly did it on purpose."
Shen Qingwan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She felt that Shen Tangan had schemed against her.
Shen Tangan gently put down the teacup, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"Sister, please don't be unreasonable. Even if you didn't come to the teahouse today, these rumors would have reached your ears sooner or later. You did those shameful things yourself, are you still afraid of what others say?"
Shen Qingwan was choked by Shen Tangan's words and was speechless. She knew that her background was indeed not glorious, but her feelings for the prince were real.
She was unwilling to be humiliated by Shen Tangan, so she held back her tears and retorted: "My birth is not something I can choose, but the prince and I are truly in love. Don't think that you can slander me at will just because you are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion."
Shen Tangan sneered, "True love? If you are so sure, why bother with these rumors? Or are you not completely sure yourself, and want to rely on the glory of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to gild yourself?"
Shen Qingwan's heart sank suddenly. Although she spoke tough, she couldn't help feeling a little worried in her heart.
She knew that her status was special and she might lose the prince's favor at any time.
But she would never allow Shen Tangan to succeed, she must find a way to maintain her position.
