Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

Shen Shi'an's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then what does the regent mean?"

"The regent wants to take this opportunity to completely cut off the relationship between the Zhenguo Palace and the Qin family." The Zhenguo Duke's face was gloomy, and his tone was deep and unpredictable, "The Qin family is a party of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If Zhenguo The Duke's marriage to the Qin family will definitely make him an important minister in front of the emperor. The regent's move directly ruined the emperor's possibility of winning over the Duke and the chance of the Duke's loyalty to the emperor. "

Mrs. Shen suddenly felt uneasy: "Then... what should we do?"

Are you just going to sit back and wait for death?

"Father, I think it is better to let Yan'er marry Qin Yanshu." Shen Shi'an pondered for a moment and put forward a suggestion that he thought was more feasible. "In this way, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Qin family can still become related by marriage."

"Confused." Zhen Guo Gong looked at him coldly, "The imperial edict of marriage has been issued, how can you do whatever you want?"

Shen Yan pursed her lips and looked gloomy.

"Can we just sit back and wait for death?" Shen Shi'an said coldly, with gloomy and hateful eyes, "Shen Ning's innocence cannot be guaranteed, and marrying the regent will sooner or later mean death. Once she dies, the regent will label us as someone who deliberately concealed and deceived him. Because of the crime, won’t the Shen family still suffer? How can we save ourselves?”

Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel panicked when she heard what the father and son said to each other.

She just didn't understand why the regent suddenly wanted to marry Shen Ning, but she didn't expect that there were so many deep calculations in it.

The noble masters who hold the power are all not very efficient. A seemingly random decision can make their family as panic-stricken as a frightened bird.

"Or..." Shen Shi'an's eyes turned, the look in his eyes was cold and ruthless, "If Shen Ning dies suddenly, can we let Yan'er marry on her behalf?"

Mrs. Shen was surprised: "Shi'an?"

"The regent wants Shen Ning. To die suddenly is to deceive the emperor. Didn't you hear what Eunuch Zhou said just now?" Duke Zhen Guo said angrily, "Once something happens to Shen Ning, the regent will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack. Then the Duke's palace will be in trouble." Escape!"

"Shen Ning is a disaster!" Shen Shi'an's face turned livid and he gritted his teeth, "If such an accident hadn't happened suddenly, how could there have been such a catastrophic disaster?"

The Duke of Zhen was displeased: "She is your sister!"

"Sister?" Shen Shi'an sneered, "If such a big thing hadn't happened to her, would the Zhenguo Palace have become the laughing stock of the whole city? She tied me up for two hours last night, but did she ever regard me as her brother?"

When he said this, he completely forgot that before Shen Ning went out of the city to pray for her grandmother, he repeatedly praised Shen Ning as a filial and sensible daughter and a caring and good sister.

He also forgot that he had praised Shen Ning and Qin Yanshu more than once, saying that Shen Ning and Qin Yanshu were a match made in heaven, saying that having Shen Ning, their legitimate daughter, in the Shen family was a blessing to their whole family.

Just because something bad happened, she became the enemy of the whole family and a scourge in his mouth.

"Anyway, the imperial edict has been issued, please stop bothering me." Duke Zhen warned him, then turned to look at Mrs. Shen, "Go and talk to Shen Ning. She is the daughter of the Shen family, even if she marries the regent. , she will still be the daughter of the Shen family."

He and Shen Ning don't have that many personal grudges. The only thing he is thinking about now is the fate of the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Shen nodded: "Do you need to comfort her?"

"It would be better if you can make her calm down." Duke Zhenguo's voice was deep, "If not, don't anger her again for the time being."

Mrs. Shen nodded, turned around and walked towards Haitang Courtyard.

"Mother." Shen Yan tried to go with her, "I'm also going to see my eldest sister——"

"Yan'er." Duke Zhenguo said in a strong tone, "You go back to your room and rest first."

Shen Yan stopped instantly, lowered her head, and covered up the strange color in her eyes: "Yes, father."

In the middle of the night, earth-shaking changes took place in the Zhenguo Palace.

Shen Ning's fate also changed dramatically.

For the time being, this change is a good thing for her. She doesn't have to fight for her life and fight for a way out in a sea of ​​blood.

Regardless of the purpose of the Yong Regent marrying her, he couldn't have gone to such trouble to kill her.

Shen Ning stood in front of the window, her eyebrows as cold as frost.

"Ning'er." Mrs. Shen walked in with a gentle expression on her face, "Have you ever met the Regent before?"

If you have seen her and the regent has clearly expressed his love for her, then there is still some hope for this marriage. But if you have never seen her, I am afraid it is really not a good thing.

Shen Ning looked out the window indifferently, her beautiful features were as indifferent as snow, and without saying a word, her whole body seemed to be exuding a cold air that kept strangers away.

Mrs. Shen was unhappy, but suppressed her temper: "This marriage is strange. Your father and I are deeply uneasy. If you have any ideas, can you tell me?"

Shen Ning still didn't speak, her eyebrows slightly lowered, as if she was immersed in some unknown thoughts.

"Although the Emperor has granted you a marriage to the Regent, it does not mean that you are not our daughter." Mrs. Shen frowned and her tone gradually became colder. "If the Regent is good to you, you will be good, but if he is not good to you Okay, we-"

"How are you doing?" Shen Ning turned around and looked at her indifferently, "You don't even dare to offend Qin Yanshu, how dare you offend the regent?"

Mrs. Shen's face froze and she couldn't say a word for a moment.

She stared hard at Shen Ning's eyes, feeling as if her daughter had suddenly changed into a different person, her eyes as cold as ice... No, not ice, like a evil spirit.

Why does Shen Ning have such a look in her eyes?

She had been violated and lost her innocence. Shouldn't she be heartbroken or even desperate? Shouldn't you be overjoyed to be given a marriage to the regent?

Why does she have no emotion at all, and her eyes have become so scary since last night?

"Is there anything else?" Shen Ning's voice was cold.

Mrs. Shen came back to her senses as if she had been burned by fire, and then said with a hint of anger: "Ning'er, I am your mother, why are you talking to me like this?"

Shen Ning looked at her expressionlessly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Mrs. Shen's eyes. She always felt that she, a mother, had been offended by her daughter, and the anger in her heart was already boiling.

But thinking about the imperial edict just now, I have some concerns after all.

"Madam." The maid Xing'er reported outside, "Master Qin is here."

Mrs. Shen frowned and was silent for a moment: "Let him in."

"yes."

With the imperial edict of marriage, Shen Ning and Qin Yanshu should keep a distance from each other. However, they have the bond of being an unmarried couple for many years, so they cannot be too heartless.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Ning with complicated eyes: "You and Yanshu had a crush on each other after all. Let's talk to him. Even if...even if we can't be husband and wife, don't turn against each other."

Shen Ning seemed not to hear.

Mrs. Shen's face turned green, and she turned and left while suppressing her anger.

"Ning'er!" Qin Yanshu rushed in like a gust of wind, his face extremely ugly, "You want to marry the regent?"

After not sleeping all night last night and being kicked twice by Shen Ning, Qin Yanshu looked haggard and sickly pale, looking depressed.

Compared with the pain in his heart and physical discomfort, the anxiety in his eyes could not be concealed. He obviously did not expect that Shen Ning would be given a marriage to the regent.

Qin Yanshu couldn't accept this fact.

Shen Ning ignored him and just looked out the window silently, imagining what kind of person the regent was. I heard that his tactics were very powerful, his methods were ruthless and cruel, and he firmly controlled the power of the Yong Kingdom.

The civil and military officials throughout the dynasty were extremely afraid of him, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor's faction couldn't wait to get rid of him...

"Ning'er, the regent is not an easy person to get along with. He is ruthless and murderous. You can't marry him!" Qin Yanshu's face turned pale, with pleading in his eyes, "He must have some intention, maybe... Maybe he was the one who misbehaved with you yesterday..."

"You think I am unclean, so the regent should also despise me." Shen Ning said in a cold voice, "All men should despise me. If you are willing to take me as your concubine, I should be grateful and kneel down and kowtow to thank you. ”

Qin Yanshu looked flustered: "I...I didn't mean that..."

"The regent has led troops to fight, experienced countless wars, and witnessed countless deaths." Shen Ning turned her head slightly, with frost in her eyes, "In the eyes of people like him, honor and integrity are just insignificant things. This kind of understanding , you so-called noble gentlemen will never understand.”

Neither reputation nor dignity is as important as living.
