Snapped--
In the courtyard of the Shen family's main house, Shen Hong was punching and kicking Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan felt a terrible pain in her body, but she gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound.
She knew in her heart why Shen Hong wanted to hit her.
Since she married into the Shen family, she has caused him a lot of trouble. She not only thwarted his plan to embezzle water transportation many times, but also found out his crimes.
He got angry and beat her.
The pain in my body is nowhere near as much as the pain in my heart.
"Shen Hong, you'd better pray that I don't die, otherwise I will make you pay with blood!" Sheng Yuan stared at him with hatred in her eyes.
"Hmph, a bitch who is about to die dares to speak harshly!" Shen Hong stepped forward and slapped Sheng Yuan on the face, "Where do you think the silver you are wearing came from? In front of me. Are you worthy of pretending to be noble?"
Shen Hong's insults and beatings made Sheng Yuan's heart burn with anger.
"Shen Hong, who do you think you are? You just bribed a few petty officials in the water transportation industry, and yet you dare to be so arrogant and domineering. One day, you will pay the price for what you did today."
"That will have to be after your death."
"Shen Hong, I want to make peace with you."
Shen Hong was stunned by Sheng Yuan's words. He didn't expect that Sheng Yuan, who had been bullied by him, would dare to propose a divorce. "What did you say? How dare you make peace with me?"
Shen Hong's eyes widened, looking in disbelief. Sheng Yuan straightened her back and said coldly: "I said, I will make you pay with blood. This marriage is divorced."
Her eyes were firm and she didn't flinch at all. Shen Hong was furious and raised his hand suddenly, wanting to punch Sheng Yuan again. But Sheng Yuan was not afraid at all. She looked directly at Shen Hong, her clear eyes full of fearlessness and determination.
This is her chance to get rid of Shen Hong and regain her freedom.
Shen Hong dared to secretly cooperate with Prince Rui and embezzled huge sums of money on water transportation. The evidence would not only overthrow Prince Rui, but if the incident came to light one day, the Shen family would probably start a bloody storm.
"Okay, then I will divorce you!"
"Mom, what did you say?"
Shen Hezhi looked at A Niang in disbelief. If she reconciled with Shen Hong, what would she do if she lost the power of the Shen family in the officialdom in the future? What's more, A Niang, a woman, could go without the Shen family. where.
"Hezhi, I'm asking if you would like to go with me."
"I......"
Shen Hezhi hesitated. He looked at Sheng Yuan and then at Shen Hong, with mixed feelings in his heart. Although he was afraid of Shen Hong, he also knew that if he and Sheng Yuan left the Shen family, their career in the officialdom would be even more difficult in the future. He couldn't bear to give up everything he had now, but he didn't want to leave Sheng Yuan alone.
"Hezhi, you don't need to worry. Although we will lose some things when we leave the Shen family, we will also get new opportunities." Sheng Yuan looked at his son, his heart full of disappointment. Shen Hezhi lowered his head, feeling entangled in his heart.
"I see."
Luo Mei's sharp laughter echoed in the yard. She pointed at Sheng Yuan with a look of ridicule and disdain on her face. "It's a joke to give birth to a white-eyed wolf and expect him to be successful!"
Sheng Yuan's face turned pale, and disappointment surged in her heart like a tide.
Shen Hezhi's hesitation and weakness doomed the mother and son to be unable to escape the shadow of the Shen family. The son in front of her might never be able to stand side by side with her.
Sheng Yuan dragged her tired body and walked out of the Shen family's door step by step. The sun shone slantly on the bluestone, casting a long shadow on her thin figure.
"Madam, madam."
The person chasing after him was the third young lady of the Shen family.
Sheng Yuan turned around and looked at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a light green long dress, the hem of which swayed gently, like a fresh and refined lotus. There was a touch of sadness in her eyebrows, but there was also a sense of perseverance and unyieldingness.
"You are..." Sheng Yuan remembered that the third lady's name was Shen Qingwan. She didn't interact with many people on weekdays and always stayed alone in the side courtyard.
She is the daughter left behind by Shen Hong's romantic relationship.
"Madam, I beg you, please take me away."
Shen Qingwan's eyes were full of sincerity, and she clutched Sheng Yuan's clothes tightly, as if she had found a life-saving straw. "Take me away, I don't want to stay here anymore."
Although she has the title of the third young lady of the Shen family, her life is not as good as that of ordinary children. She can only eat steamed buns all day long. If the eldest lady had not come to help her often, she would have starved to death here. In the mansion.
"I'm sorry, I can't take you away."
It is already difficult for Sheng Yuan to leave the Shen Mansion. If he takes away the young lady from the Mansion, the Shen family will definitely make another joke. I am afraid that Shen Hong will not let the two of them go.
The days ahead will only be more difficult.
Shen Qingwan was stunned by Sheng Yuan's words, and the sincerity in her eyes instantly became hollow, as if a light was instantly extinguished.
Her hands loosened and hung limply by her sides, her whole body seemed to have lost its life. The sun shone on her face, highlighting her pale complexion. The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, trying to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh. She lowered her head, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her face, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.
Sheng Yuan secretly stuffed some money into her hand, "If you save some money, you can last for a while."
She held the money tightly and felt its heat.
"Thank you...Mrs. Sheng."
Shen Qingwan bit her lower lip, feeling mixed with excitement and gratitude in her heart.
Sheng Yuan held the dowry in her hand tightly. It was her hope for the future, but now it has become her only way to escape the pain.
She walked through the Shen family's courtyard, and the once-familiar flowers, plants and trees now seemed a little strange. She walked to the stables where her former carriage was parked.
She used all her strength to drive the carriage away from Shen's house.
Along the way, she felt mixed feelings in her heart. All the sweetness and pain of the past came to my mind at this moment. However, there was no way out for her.
She had to leave this place of pain.
"Car driver, go to Yangzhou."
