"I'll promise you this: I will write a letter of apology and post it all over Xiyang City."

  Before Shen Zhong and his wife could speak, Shen Fuling had already made her choice.

  "Alright, so you're happy now and acting like a man, but Shen Fuling, don't forget that you also agreed to this before. You said it yourself, if you regret it, then just regret it. So, in front of my grandfather and your parents, I'll say something ugly first: if you cause any more trouble for me this time, don't blame me for not considering our familial ties."

  Shen Youxia looked at Shen Weiling coldly, not because she was afraid that Shen Weiling would really come up with some new tricks, but because she felt that dealing with this kind of petty person was a waste of time and had no significance.

  Shen Fuling also looked at Shen Youxia with a cold smile, "The good skills of the wise king's consort, I naturally dare not underestimate."

  Shen Youxia didn't bother to continue arguing with Shen Fuling, and neither of them said anything more. The three members of the Shen family left the Dingguo Hou Mansion in a sorry state.

  Shen Jing looked at Shen You Xiang who was sitting in front of him, drinking sweet soup obediently, and asked doubtfully, "Xia Er, is there something between you and Fei Ling?"

  "No."

  I don't know where Shen Jing started talking about it, but Shen Xia replied casually while drinking sweet soup.

  "Xia Er, don't forget, you are the legitimate daughter of Dingguo Houfu. If someone bullies you, just tell your grandfather directly. The entire Dingguo Houfu is your backing. Don't endure it yourself, or you'll hurt your body and damage your reputation, neither of which is good."

  Shen Jing looked at Shen Youxia and said seriously, but Shen Youxia was confused by Shen Jing's heartfelt words for a while.

  "Grandfather, what are you talking about? In this vast city of Xi'an, who would still dare to bully me?"

  This is not an exaggeration by Shen Youxia, after all, her status and identity are placed here. From a young age to adulthood, she has been a domineering mistress, with the reputation of being the spoiled daughter of Dingguo Hou Shen Jing. The entire Chu Qin dynasty knows about it, so in Xiyang City, anyone who knows Shen Youxia's name, whether they are nobles or imperial relatives, can tolerate her if they can, and those who cannot will hide.

  "Tell Grandpa the truth, was it that little brat Shen Feiling bullying you? If he bullied you, tell Grandpa. Even if we can't do anything to him on the surface, Grandpa can find someone to beat him half to death for you to vent your anger."

  Look, this is her grandfather, and he really dotes on her unconditionally.

  For no reason, Shen Youxia thought of his past life, because of himself, he implicated his grandfather and ultimately led to his grandfather's untimely death. Shen Youxia couldn't finish the bowl of sugar water in front of him.

  "Grandfather, you're so good to me." Shen Youxia went forward and hugged Shen Jing, saying in a spoiled tone.

  "Look at you, a married woman, still acting spoiled in front of your grandfather."

  Although Shen Jing said so, he gently patted Shen Youxia with a kind face. This was his own child who had been spoiled since childhood, and he couldn't bear to let her suffer any grievances, how could he tolerate others bullying her at will.

  "So, Shen Feiling really bullied you?"

  "How dare he? Grandfather," Shen Youxia said with a smile, "In the past, the only person who could bully me was Zhu Yunyan. Now that even Zhu Yunyan can't influence me, how would Shen Weiling dare to bully me? Grandfather is really thinking too much. I'm just annoyed because I feel like I've been fooled by Shen Weiling and turned around in circles."
