Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 38 Everyone's a Villain!

While Shen Shuya was still arguing with the heir of the Duke of Qi, Ziyu was already getting impatient.

"Sister Wei, let's go, there doesn't seem to be anything interesting here."

Zhou Wei shook her head. How can we leave now?

The show isn't over yet!

I just checked the location of Shen Shuqing, the legitimate daughter of the legendary physician, and it shows that she is in the Deer Garden.

Given Shen Shuqing's temperament, how could she possibly tolerate seeing Shen Shuya and Qi Jingming entangled in a messy relationship?

Sure enough, just as Zhou Wei was about to speak, a figure quickly stepped out from behind the tree.

He arrived in front of Shen Shuya and Qi Jingming in just a few steps.

boom!

A slap landed squarely on Shen Shuya's face!

This palm strike stunned all five people present.

Ziyu covered her mouth, her eyes filled with excitement. Why did they suddenly start fighting?

After realizing what was happening, Qi Jingming immediately glared at Shen Shuqing.

"Miss Shen, what are you doing? What did Shuya do wrong that you have to slap her?"

Looking at Shen Shuya's left cheek, which she was covering, there was a clear handprint and some redness and swelling.

Qi Jingming looked heartbroken!

But now he's a cripple, and even if he's angry, he can't stand up and get justice for Shen Shuya.

Shen Shuya covered her face, tears welling up in her eyes.

She sobbed, "Elder sister, I was wrong. If hitting me will make you happy, then hit me!"

"Your Highness, there is no need to be angry. As the eldest sister, everything she does is right."

These words made Qi Jingming's face grow even colder, and his gaze toward Shen Shuqing became even more hateful.

Shen Shuqing's face flushed with anger. She had been eavesdropping behind the tree and had no intention of coming out.

But Shen Shuya went further and further as she spoke, openly and secretly trying to ruin her reputation as the legitimate daughter.

As the beloved junior sister of everyone in the Divine Doctor Valley, Shen Shuqing was already used to being the center of attention.

When have I ever suffered such humiliation?

He knew that rushing out rashly would only make Shen Shuya more smug.

Shen Shuqing couldn't hold back and slapped her!

But don't tell me.

It feels so good to slap someone!

No wonder that bitch Zhou Wei hits people at the drop of a hat.

bah bah bah!

Why did I have to think of that bitch? It's so unlucky!

Shen Shuqing, dressed in white, was stunningly beautiful, but Qi Jingming's gaze remained fixed on Shen Shuya.

This made Shen Shuqing, who always had a high opinion of herself, even angrier.

"You definitely deserved to be hit! Regardless of the fact that the Crown Prince is your future brother-in-law, you should have avoided any appearance of impropriety..."

"An unmarried woman is seen arguing and pulling at a man here, with no maids or servants around. If word gets out, will the reputation of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion be ruined?"

Shen Shuya bit her lip and silently shed tears, looking pitiful.

Qi Jingming couldn't help but say, "Miss Shen, I invited Shuya here! Shuya and I have known each other since childhood, and our friendship is extraordinary."

“Others wouldn’t be as filthy as you, thinking about everything they see as related to men and women.”

Shen Shuqing was almost laughing in anger!

She looked at the handsome man in front of her and sighed silently in her heart.

When Shen Shuqing first returned to the Marquis's residence and learned that her future husband was the heir of the Duke of Qi, she was somewhat resistant.

But after she saw Qi Jingming from afar, her heart fell for him.

Shen Shuqing originally thought that with her looks and abilities, she and Qi Jingming would be a harmonious couple after marriage.

Unexpectedly, that bitch Shen Shuya had been having an affair with Qi Jingming all along.

She was nothing more than a sacrifice to replace Shen Shuya and marry a cripple!

Shen Shuqing couldn't help but smile sadly!

What am I, anyway?

but……

Seeing Qi Jingming sitting in his wheelchair with a broken expression, Shen Shuqing still felt heartbroken.

Only I, Shen Shuqing, can piece the broken Qi Jingming back together!

We must make Qi Jingming see Shen Shuya's true colors.

“Your Highness, if you truly love my half-sister, why don’t I go with you to inform our parents to dissolve the engagement?”

"It will save you lovesick men and women from suffering from unrequited love! But..."

Shen Shuqing glanced meaningfully at Shen Shuya, who was still crying.

"However, my half-sister is a woman with her own ideas, and I'm afraid she wouldn't want to marry the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuya was startled.

Upon noticing that Qi Jingming's expression was softening, he secretly thought to himself, "This is bad!"

That despicable Shen Shuqing actually said that in front of Qi Jingming.

If she really aroused Qi Jingming's interest, wouldn't she have to marry a useless person?

Shen Shuya's mind raced as she tried to think of a way to decline.

But Qi Jingming said with a disdainful look, "Miss Shen, there's no need to sow discord like this. I know your character and virtue very well."

“If someone hadn’t taken her place as the legitimate daughter, the one with me now would be Shuya.”

Shen Shuqing's face froze; she could hardly believe her ears.

She is the true legitimate daughter of a marquis's family. What do you mean by taking Shen Shuya's place?

Does Qi Jingming even know what he's saying?

"Your Highness is mistaken. Shuya is not even a member of the Shen family. What merit do I, Shen Shuqing, possess to occupy her position?"

Qi Jingming choked for a moment, his face turning ugly.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "In short, Miss Shen doesn't need to be so aggressive towards Shuya."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Shen Shuya, his eyes filled with a tenderness that could melt hearts.

“I know very well how Shuya treats me. If she really disliked my leg ailment, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to invite the divine physician Gu Tianjiao to treat me.”

Shen Shuya invited Wan Qianliang?

Shen Shuqing's expression was almost out of control as she glared angrily at Shen Shuya.

"Shuya, did you invite Young Master Wan Qianliang?"

Shen Shuya felt extremely guilty, but now, everyone in the Shen family, including Qi Jingming, believed that Wan Qianliang had come to the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence because of her.

Making her tell the truth right now would be worse than killing her!

Helpless, Shen Shuya could only say ambiguously, "Elder sister, Shuya has never taken credit for anything."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuqing sneered: "Of course you can't take credit, because the fact that Young Master Wanqian Liang came to the Marquis's residence has nothing to do with you."

"If it weren't for my sake, how could the Marquis's mansion have gotten the Divine Physician Valley to help?"

Shen Shuya's face turned pale, and she could only say timidly, "Eldest sister is right. It's all thanks to eldest sister that Young Master Wan was able to come... Shuya... has nothing to do with Shuya."

Her tone was mournful, as if she had suffered a great injustice in saying these words.

When Shen Shuqing saw that she admitted it, she smiled smugly.

A concubine's daughter is a lowly person!

How dare you steal credit from her?

The heir of the Duke of Qi is currently just unable to recognize people's true character. Once Senior Brother Wan cures his leg ailment, he will surely understand who is truly sincere towards him!

Once his identity as the direct descendant of the Divine Doctor Valley is revealed, Qi Jingming will surely regret his attitude today!

Only I, Shen Shuqing, am the woman of destiny!

Shen Shuya, a concubine's daughter, dares to compare herself to me?

“Your Highness, you heard it too. My half-sister admitted that Young Master Wan has no relation to her.”

Qi Jingming ignored her and looked at Shen Shuya instead.

"Shuya, is it really true that you didn't invite Young Master Wan?"

With tears in her eyes, Shen Shuya said aggrievedly, "Young Master, please don't ask anymore. Whatever my elder sister says... then it is!"
