Chapter 574: Stop and go back home with Shen Wenting?
"Grandma, it's going to be okay!"
"Put it away quickly!"
"Okay! I'll give it back to you after this is over!"
"it is good."
As Yao Qingnian was speaking, Shan Wei suddenly came back from outside: "Miss, something bad has happened! Something happened to King Jing!"
"How is my grandfather?"
"He's fine, he's just trapped in the palace." Shan Wei glanced at Madam Chen and said.
"That's good."
"Miss, we must leave the Duke's Mansion now. I'm afraid they are coming here. If we don't leave, I'm worried that they will do something bad to everyone tomorrow."
"Let's go! Qingnian, don't hesitate!" Old Madam Chen urged.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a servant came running in, "Madam, it's bad, Prince Hong is rushing in with his men."
"Mom, what should we do?" Chen Shuhua and Chen Nianran also staggered in.
"Qing Nian, remember what I just said, leave through the back door quickly."
"Okay! Let's go!"
"Mom, let's go!" Chen Shuhua supported the old lady.
"Shuhua, I'm not leaving. I'm staying."
"No, if you want to go, let's go together!" Seeing that the old lady didn't leave, Chen Shuhua also stopped.
"Listen, I'm old now. If I go with you, I'll be a burden to you. Besides, I have to wait for your father to come back. They won't dare to do anything to me!"
"Mom, I won't leave!" Seeing that Old Madam Chen was not leaving, Chen Shuhua also wanted to leave.
"Go away! You don't even listen to your mother!" Old Madam Chen scolded.
"Mom..." Time was urgent and Yao Qingnian could not care about anything else. She pulled Chen Shuhua away. She promised that she would definitely bring her grandfather back.
They went out from the back door and ran into Shen Wenting who was coming with the officials.
"Stop them, don't let them get away."
"Shen Wenting! What are you doing?!"
"What are you doing? Duke Chen colluded with King Jing to rebel. King Jing has fled for fear of the crime. Duke Chen has also confessed his guilt and is thrown into jail. The emperor sent us here to confiscate his property. If you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender." Shen Wenting looked down at them from his horse.
"How could my father commit treason? You must have framed him!" Chen Shuhua roared at it.
"Ms. Chen, for the sake of our marriage, if you agree to let Jinghong and the other siblings return to the Duke's Mansion with me, I can ask Prince Hong to spare your lives. Anyway, the Duke's Mansion is definitely not going to be saved, and you are too old to be wanted. If you are willing, you can go back and be my concubine, and I can forgive you. How do you think?"
"Bah! You're dreaming! It was you who wanted to break off the engagement and drove the children out, and now it's you who wants them back. What do you think the children are? Can you bring them back if you want them to come back, or not if you don't want them to come back?!" Chen Shuhua spat without caring about her image.
"Ms. Chen, don't be ungrateful. No one can save you now except me!" Shen Wenting lost his patience when he saw her being so tactless.
"Are you my father?" Chen Nianran suddenly took a step forward.
"You are the Nianran girl?"
"Yes, when I was in the countryside, I always envied others for having fathers. I also always fantasized about what my father would be like, whether he would be majestic or kind. I only saw you once in the court last time, and your appearance has been imprinted in my mind. I have always wondered when I could see you again. If it weren't for my mother and Qingnian, I would have gone to find you a long time ago."
"Well, you have suffered a lot in the countryside over the years. Now you have finally come back. Come back with me. As long as you don't act like a wicked girl like her and listen to your father obediently, I will love you well and make up for all you have lost over the years." Shen Wenting was moved after hearing these words. He only has them as children now. If they can be obedient, like Youran was before, and know how to consider the Duke's Mansion everywhere, then he will also treat them well, as well as Shen Jinghong, his only son. Only when he comes back can their branch of the Shen Mansion have successors.
"Can I really go back with you?" Chen Nianran asked.
"of course."
"Nianran, what are you doing! Do you want to go back with him?" Chen Shuhua looked at her daughter in shock.
"Mother, the Duke's Mansion is in such a state now. Since Father has spoken and said that he can save our lives, why don't you come back with me?"
"Nianran, you..." Chen Shuhua's face was full of disbelief, but Yao Qingnian did not show any emotion.
"Haha, Chen, look at how sensible this daughter is. She knows that resistance is useless and that she can only have a future if she follows a father like me." Shen Wenting laughed proudly at Chen Shuhua.
"Yes, mother, if you want to survive, resistance is useless. Let's just listen to father." Chen Nianran said to Chen Shuhua.
"Don't call me! I... I'm not your mother. How could you become like this! He has done so many things, and you still want to recognize him?" Chen Shuhua still found it hard to accept.
"Recognize me! Of course I won't! I believe my parents had no choice but to send me to the countryside. Now I'm back, and I've only had two days of good life when my grandfather colluded with others to rebel. I don't want to go to jail, live on the streets, and live a life worse than that in the countryside! I want to follow my father back to the Shangshu Mansion to live a good life. You see, dad is the Shangshu, and now he is a favorite of the new emperor and the savior of Prince Hong. Only by following him can I continue to live a life without worries about food and clothing. Mother, I'm tired of the hard life in the countryside, so I don't want to follow you anymore. I want to go back to the Shangshu Mansion, mother, don't blame me." Chen Nianran looked at Chen Shuhua coldly.
"You insist on recognizing him, and I can't stop you. I just hope you won't regret it." Chen Shuhua looked at her with despair.
"I won't regret it. I'm going to the Shangshu Mansion to live a good life. But if you don't listen to your father, he will arrest you later."
"My dear daughter, you are right. Come to my side! Since they won't listen to my advice, just ignore them. Wait until I find your brother. I will take him back home and we can have a good family reunion."
"Okay." Chen Nianran glanced at Yao Qingnian and Chen Shuhua, then walked forward, came to Shen Wenting's side, and said, "Dad, yours is really my dad! That's great! I have a dad now."
"Yes, from now on you will no longer be a fatherless child." Shen Wenting looked at her with satisfaction.
"Dad, you are so kind!"
