Such an indifferent tone instantly gave people an invisible and huge sense of oppression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Huaicai immediately knelt down, lowered his head and cupped his hands and anxiously explained: "General, I am also trying to explain this to the General. There is a reason for this!"
Mrs. Shen on the side quickly knelt down, but she didn't know what her master planned to explain.
"Tell me and listen." Xiahou Zhan sat back down without haste, picked up the tea and stroked it, mist swirling in the air.
"The general doesn't know. In fact... the one who should marry into the general's mansion is indeed Qingluo and not Ruyue."
"Why?"
"My eldest daughter is indeed Qingluo. The sixth prince proposed marriage on that day to betroth the eldest daughter of the Shen family to the general, so there is nothing wrong with this." Shen Huaicai spoke calmly and unconscionably. Shocking remarks.
Xia Houzhan raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qingluo, who looked sulky beside him, and continued to ask in a deep voice: "You said... Shen Qingluo is the real eldest lady of the Shen family?"
"That's true. It's just because Qingluo was born by a concubine and lost her mother, so she rarely attracts attention. Ruyue is the wife's direct daughter, and she has been doting on her since she was a child. This caused everyone's misunderstanding and thought that Ruyue She is my eldest daughter, but in fact, Qing Luo is two months older than she is, so she is the real eldest daughter of the Shen family."
There was no loophole in what Shen Huaicai said about the deep love. If the protagonist hadn't been himself, Shen Qing would have almost believed it! He stepped forward angrily, and was about to speak out, but was stopped by a pair of big hands. He looked back at Xia Houzhan. With his cold eyes, he was warning her not to talk too much.
Shen Qing was furious because it was obviously not true! Since she was the daughter of the Shen family, why did they drug her? Which family would marry their daughter like this? In order to protect their beloved Shen Ruyue, they could push her out as a shield. Now he is deliberately fabricating such a ridiculous fact. Even if he is just a concubine, isn't she still his biological daughter?!
She broke away her hand, looked at her so-called father kneeling in front of Xia Houzhan indifferently, turned around and left the hall.
Shen Qingluo's sudden exit without warning caused Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen to reach a deadlock. Xiahou Zhan silently looked at the direction she was leaving, and showed no sign of what they said. It was impossible to tell whether he believed it or not.
Baili Yun saw the protagonist leaving, and came out with a chuckle to smooth things over, "Whether she is the eldest daughter or the second daughter, now Qingluo is a member of the general's mansion, so Mr. Shen is the father-in-law of the general, so you two should not kneel down. It’s over, let’s get up.”
When Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen saw someone helping them, but the General didn't say anything, they stood up and smiled awkwardly.
"The general has specially prepared some gifts for returning home, and I hope Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen will accept them." Baili Yunzhi had just finished speaking. Outside the hall door, under the command of the coachman, a large number of large boxes and small boxes of gift cups were carried. Come in.
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen couldn't believe it. They thought that the barbarian general came to investigate because they sent the wrong person. Unexpectedly, he not only accepted his explanation, but also sent so many homecoming gifts. This is Yang The richest family in the city cannot give away so much!
Mrs. Shen was shocked and scared. She didn't expect that Shen Qingluo would be so loved by the barbarian generals. If he knew that they often abused Shen Qingluo in the past, that would be fine!
