Chapter 25: The Embroidered Mandarin Duck Handkerchief for My Sisters Fiancé
As she spoke, Sheng Jinxiu turned around and knelt down neatly in front of Sheng Yunjing and Meng Qiuyu.
"Father, Mother, in the past I was a foolish daughter who didnt understand things. Seeing that the Second Prince had a good appearance, I was blinded by him and did some ridiculous and laughable things. Now that Ive experienced things, I realize that a persons heart is much more precious than their appearance."
"Its just a man, if Yiming really wants him, I can let her have him."
"Even if shes not of suitable status, our Sheng family only has me as a daughter, so we can acknowledge her as the second young mistress and give her some status, it wont be a problem for her to marry well..."
"But she deceived us, fooled us and wanted to use us to climb up. What is this? Uncontrollable emotions? Excusable feelings?"
"Absolutely not! Shes being deceitful and ungrateful, with a heart as cruel as a wolf and lungs as vicious as a dog!"
Isnt it that the magnificent butterfly relies on this fake disguise to deceive everyones trust and favor with its simple and kind appearance?
But if you directly put her and Yan Ziyuans scandal in the spotlight;
Her miserable birth was widely known;
Let her become a shameless slut who even steals her sisters fiancé!
She can still put on a suit of golden armor and climb up to such a high position?
"No... its not like that..."
Chang Dieyi wept uncontrollably: "I didnt... really didnt... it was the Second Prince, the Second Prince is a noble of the imperial family, I... only blame myself for not daring to resist him..."
"Oh, so it was the Second Prince who forced you," Sheng Jinxiu said expressionlessly: "But yesterday, the Second Prince rushed into the Regents Palace to find me and said that Im not as gentle and obedient as you, able to satisfy his demands at any time and place."
"Nor as good as you are clever and skilled with needlework, personally embroidering a mandarin duck silk handkerchief for him over the course of three years!"
Sheng Yun Jings eyes sank, staring at Sheng Die Yi in disbelief.
Three years ago, it was the second prince Yan Ziyuan who personally came to the Sheng family to give his daughter Sheng Jinyu a generous gift, claiming that he had admired her for a long time. He also showed elegance and courtesy in front of Yuyu, and only then did she pay him back with true feelings.
Later, he was no longer so good to Qiuqiu, and Qiuqiu still made one ridiculous thing after another in order to win his favor, making Kyoto laugh!
If he had accepted Xiang Yiyis embroidered handkerchief three years ago, then for the past three years, he had been deceiving Juju and the Xiang family.
For what? For the wealth of the Sheng family to pave the way for him to rise to a high position?
And what about Sheng Dieyi?
In the Da Xing dynasty, when a woman gave a man an embroidered handkerchief, it was already a sign of affection. How much more so if the handkerchief was embroidered with mandarin ducks?!
Sheng Dieyi insisted on embroidering for three years, can you say she didnt mean to?
Who believes it?!
This child, who everyone thought was kind and innocent, turned out to be harboring evil intentions?
For what? For trampling on the entire Sheng familys power and wealth, fame and fortune?
"Sheng Dieyi, you tell me! Are these things that Rourou said really true?"
Sheng Yunjings face completely fell, and his tone also turned sharp.
"Uncle, I..."
Sheng Dieyi was taken aback, she hadnt expected Sheng Jinyu to bring up these things in public. She gritted her teeth and knocked her head heavily on the stone slab: "Im sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to my cousin, to Aunt and Uncle, to the great kindness of the Sheng family!"
"But I really... really didnt intentionally want to ruin the relationship between my cousin and the second prince... I also didnt want to hurt my cousin."
"Im just...just a person as good as the Second Prince, I couldnt help but have feelings for him, the Second Prince and I are mutually in love..."
