Chapter 57 For my selfish purposes, I took advantage of him

  "Little sister!" Sheng Chengluo couldn't help but say, his eyes reddening: "Little sister, don't say anything else!"

  "Don't worry, Third Brother is on your side. Xīng Tiěyī, this heartless and ruthless person, doesn't deserve to be a member of the Shèng family!"

  "Third Brother would never allow her to become a daughter of the Sheng family!"

  "Right! Big brother also supports you!" Sheng Chengyi said: "The Sheng family has raised a white-eyed wolf for so many years. That day, I listened to her words and went to kneel at the gate of the Regent's palace, almost losing my life! I won't allow her to stir up trouble in our home again!"

  "Xiaoxiao, you are Er Ge's only sister!" Sheng Chengxin said.

  Sheng Yun clenched his fist: "Recognize Sheng Dieyi as the second daughter of the Sheng family, and that's it!"

  "Hubby......" Meng Qiuyu looked at Sheng Yunjing and then at the three Sheng brothers, as if she had been betrayed: "You guys..."

  "Mother!" Sheng Jinxiu's tone softened: "I'm no longer the only obstacle now."

  Her gentleness is for the sake of those who maintain her.

  "If you don't mind our interference as family members, what about the Regent's?"

  "Do you think the Regent would allow his wife to have such a disreputable sister-in-law?"

  "But..." Meng Qiuyu still refused to give up: "The Regent Prince said he wanted to marry you as his princess, Jiayou, maybe you can persuade the Regent Prince..."

  "I am the Regent's person, when he is happy, I can be his queen, when he is not happy, I am just his locked-up concubine in the palace! Do you really think that I have such a high position in the Regent's heart?"

  "Have you ever seen a regent who would tolerate being stained with some dirty things for just one woman?"

  "Yan Beiting has always been known for his cleanliness, this is something that everyone in Daxing and even the whole world knows!"

  "Clean... cleanliness..." Meng Qiuyu's gaze fell on Sheng Dieyi, who was being protected in her arms, and she finally felt a bit uncomfortable...

  Sheng Jinxiu saw her relax a bit, but still couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, which rolled down her cheeks.

  "Mother, I also want to like someone, he is my ideal husband, we are mutually in love, by the arrangement of our parents and the words of the matchmaker, combining two surnames, becoming husband and wife, deeply in love, with a long-lasting affection..."

  "But Mother, not every marriage starts out like yours and Father's, from good to better."

  "At least I'm not!"

  "Wait..." Sheng Chengxin stepped inside, wanting to say something, but was stopped by a hand gesture from Sheng Jinxiu.

  She slightly tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and forced more of the bitter pain back down.

  "Mother, I'm saying this not to stop your decision, but as your own daughter, even if you do something like this and there are more severe consequences later on, we'll face them together as a family."

  "But if the consequence of that is to let the Sheng family's blood flow like a river, and annihilate the entire household, do you still insist on acknowledging Sheng Dieyi?"

  "What...what does this mean?" Meng Qiuyu shook her head, she had lived for so many years, although her status was not noble, but her husband loved her and her son was filial, everything went too smoothly, she couldn't understand why just recognizing another daughter would lead to such severe consequences.

  "Yan Zi Ye is still able to collude with Sheng Die Yi to deceive us, use us and humiliate us when he still needs the Sheng family's money to pave his way. Do you think that if he really rises to a high position, how will he deal with us?"

  "She eats at our Sheng family's, lives in our Sheng family's house, wears our Sheng family's clothes, uses our Sheng family's things, and yet she still betrays us and does such a vicious thing. If she rises to a high position, what will she do to us?"

  "Yan Zi Ye wants the Shi family's money, Shi Die Yi wants the Shi family's status. We gave it to them and fed the dog, but if we don't give it to them, the dog will bite us!"

  "Then is there such a person who can protect our Sheng family and let us not have to feed the dogs, nor be bitten by them?"

  "Yes, Your Majesty!"

  "Mother, you know that the enemy's army fears him, you know that the officials in the imperial court fear him, and you yourself fear her, but don't you know that I also fear him?"

  "To be honest, I used him for my own selfish purposes!"

  "And you, aren't you a part of my selfishness?"
