Chapter 599 - 174: Faces_3
Shen Yurong, heedless of her objections, had insisted on resigning from his official position, which had already greatly disappointed Mother Shen, and now, hearing what Princess Yongning had said, Mother Shen suddenly felt that their prospects were bleak and without shine. Princess Yongning was now an ordinary person and unreliable. Her own son had lost his official position, and it seemed that the future of the Shen family would be halted here and now.
Thinking of these things, Mother Shen looked at Princess Yongning with resentment suddenly flaring in her heart. If it weren’t for Princess Yongning getting pregnant, marrying into the Li Family, and falling out with the people of the Li Family in the Golden Throne Hall, the Shen family would never have fallen to such a situation. It was Princess Yongning who had brought disaster upon her son!
"Now that you are no longer a princess," Mother Shen said with a smile that did not reach her eyes, "there are all sorts of rumors outside. If you have nothing important, it would be best not to visit casually. You know, if outsiders see you, they will talk. Our Yurong has already been forced to resign because of your affairs, and if this continues, I’m afraid we mother and son won’t be able to stay in Yanjing City."
Mei Xiang and Princess Yongning both looked at Mother Shen in surprise. In just a moment, Mother Shen’s face changed unpredictably!
Even Princess Yongning, who had seen all sorts of people, felt instant anger and disgust at this sycophantic, small-minded behavior. She almost wanted to have Mei Xiang throw this sharp-tongued and mean woman out the door. But the next moment, Princess Yongning held back. This was Shen Yurong’s mother, and Yurong was the most filial. She couldn’t argue with Mother Shen, at least not stoop to her level.
"Madam Shen," Princess Yongning said urgently, "I’ve already said this is only temporary!"
As if startled by Princess Yongning’s voice, Madam Shen suddenly fell silent, but the look she gave Princess Yongning was no longer warm. It was as if she was looking at a stubborn, shameless person, feigning compassion and not exposing her, but filled with malicious schadenfreude.
At that moment, a voice came from behind: "Mother."
Shen Yurong had arrived.
Seeing Shen Yurong, Princess Yongning was overjoyed and called out, "Mr. Shen," with a look of boundless grievance and sorrow.
