Chapter 258: Big Trouble, Insults and Beating
"Mom, why won't Dad listen to my explanation? Since he wants to hit me, just beat me to death! I have been without parents since I was a child. Now I have finally come back, and I have been thinking about the good of my family. I didn't expect that my sister would come back and framed my daughter based on one-sided words. I won't accept this! Before you beat me to death, please let me finish what I want to say." Yao Qingnian suddenly hugged Chen and began to cry bitterly.
"Nianran, don't cry. Tell me what's the matter and I'll take care of it for you." Chen patted her back lovingly. Yao Qingnian's acting skills suddenly soared, and even Shen Youran forgot what she was going to do.
"Mother, that Miss Gu was arrogant and domineering. I was standing at the door and she suddenly squeezed in, almost causing Nanny Song to fall. My daughter went up to argue with her, and her maid raised her hand to hit me. I just fought back to protect myself.
When my sister came, she didn't ask any questions and said that I was a distant relative from the countryside and asked me to apologize to Miss Gu.
Miss Gu asked me to kneel down and apologize, but my daughter thought, it is easy to kneel down, but I have not done anything wrong. If I kneel down like this, it will not only embarrass myself, but also affect the reputation of the Shangshu Mansion. So my daughter decided not to kneel down.
So she argued with her, what did her daughter do wrong? Should she just stand there and let them beat and scold her, or kneel down to apologize and embarrass the Shangshu Mansion? My sister can do it, but I can't. Now that I'm back, I'm a member of the Shangshu Mansion, and I should put the Shangshu Mansion first in everything! "Yao Qingnian's words moved the old lady and others. It was hard for her to think so much about the Shangshu Mansion.
"Master, you heard it all. It was the daughter of the prime minister who made the mistake first. How can you blame Nian'er? She is wholeheartedly working for the Shangshu Mansion. What's wrong with that?" When Chen heard her daughter say this, she felt that she was not wrong.
The old lady also agreed. Children of a big family should not only see the present. It is rare for a girl like Nian Ran to have such an idea. "That's right, Wen Ting, mother has heard that the young lady is usually willful and capricious. Nian Ran has just returned, and we don't know her identity. She only cares about the family and is a child who cares about the overall situation. Forget about the family rules. What if a girl is beaten and hurt? I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
"Wow... It's all my fault. I was only thinking that if my father offended the Prime Minister, his life in the court would be difficult in the future. That's why I acted rashly without considering the consequences." She was unwilling to accept that Yao Qingnian easily got away with it. She thought that Chen was partial to her and must be on the side of this bitch.
His father cared about his career the most. If his career was affected, nothing would be of any use to him. Sure enough, Shen Wenting, who had originally not intended to pursue the matter further, suddenly became angry again.
"Okay, the two girls are just thinking about the mansion, Wen Ting, don't blame them. Ouch, Youran, come here quickly, let grandma take a look at you and see if you are hurt anywhere." The old lady looked at Shen Youran who was sobbing softly, and called her over with heartache. After all, the granddaughter who had been raised by her side since childhood was different from the one who suddenly came back.
"Mother, it's not that simple. The Prime Minister is a powerful person. If I offend him now, he will find a reason in the court to cause trouble for my son. What shall I do? Alas!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" The old lady was troubled when she heard her son say that. Their family had worked so hard to climb to their current position, but they could not afford any more trouble.
"At this point, we have no choice but to let Nianran go out and hide for a while. Anyway, few people know that she is back. If they come to our door, we can still make excuses." Shen Wenting was thinking of sending her away again. Shen Youran was ecstatic and couldn't wait for her to leave.
"No, Nian'er finally came back! I don't agree! Besides, she is the legitimate eldest daughter of the mansion. I wanted to give her some time to adjust out of consideration for Youran. Now it seems that it is time to make Nian'er's identity public. There is an order of seniority. Even if Nian'er comes back, Youran is still the second daughter of the mansion. Apart from the title, nothing else has changed."
Chen was the first one to disagree. She had just heard clearly that You Ran actually said that Nian'er was her distant relative. She felt even more uncomfortable and was determined to make Nian'er's identity public. It was impossible for her to send her daughter away from her again.
"Shuhua, this isn't necessary, right?" Shen Wenting had a headache. Wouldn't this make Youran feel wronged?
"Why is it not necessary? She is our biological daughter. I will make up for all the wrong I have done to her over the years double. Not only will I have to make it public, I will also hold a banquet to let everyone in the capital know that my daughter is back." Chen didn't care whether others agreed or not and insisted on holding a banquet to announce her daughter's identity.
Shen Wenting had no choice but to leave in anger.
The next morning, someone soon filed a complaint against the prime minister, saying that he had failed to educate his daughter properly and had insulted and beaten civilians in public. The students in the capital were outraged and wrote down all the things the prime minister's daughter had done in the past. They made the story public and the whole capital was abuzz with it. Even the maids and eunuchs in the palace circulated it. For a time, the people were so angry that they ran to the prime minister's house and threw rotten eggs at him.
The prime minister himself was not aware of this at first because his wife, Ji, did not tell him about this matter. She thought it was just her daughter teaching a few unruly people a lesson and it was no big deal.
Gu Jialing has been spoiled since she was a child. No matter what happens, her mother will protect her, so she becomes more and more unscrupulous. She doesn't take it seriously at all. She even asks people to investigate Yao Qingnian. She must find an opportunity to teach that bitch a lesson for causing her to lose such a big face today.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Cang Ling was immediately furious and slammed the table and stood up: "Well, my Lord Prime Minister, is this how you teach your children? As the daughter of the Prime Minister, you are so arrogant and rude! It's bad enough that you insulted the people in the street and called them untouchables, but you even dared to beat the people with a whip in public!" He was so angry that his face turned blue, his eyes flashed with anger, and he stared straight at the Prime Minister.
The prime minister was terrified and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have not taught my daughter well. Please forgive me." Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his body was trembling slightly. He knew very well that his daughter's behavior had angered the emperor.
The emperor angrily questioned the prime minister: "Is this what you call a lady from a noble family, well-educated and well-mannered?" He ignored the prime minister's explanation, his heart filled with disappointment and anger.
The prime minister replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, my daughter was young and ignorant, and she made such a big mistake because I spoiled her. Please, Your Majesty, spare my daughter's life for the sake of my loyalty over the years." He kowtowed repeatedly, hoping to get the emperor's forgiveness.
