Chapter 221: Chapter 221: You’ve Suffered During This Time!
The Sheng Family Manor is truly bustling.
Sheng Xueyi’s birth father, Sheng Lu, brought her stepmother, Su Fu, the ninth lady of the Qianyang Su Family, along with several of Sheng Xueyi’s half-sisters.
The entire family rushed to the manor outside Sanchuan City, and at first glance, it truly seemed like a happy scene of family reunion.
Unfortunately, that can’t be the case.
In order to please his new wife, Sheng Lu really intended to let Sheng Xueyi fend for herself.
And Su Fu, still thinking about the future status of her children in the Sheng Family, how could she possibly like the legitimate daughter left by her predecessor?
But now, these two people who have no affection for Sheng Xueyi brought the main members of the family to the manor.
Only a fool would believe there isn’t something fishy going on.
"Mrs. Tian, when you’re cooking later, please pay extra attention!"
Sheng Xueyi couldn’t fathom the intentions of her irresponsible father and stepmother, but adhering to the principle that caution is never a mistake, she specifically instructed Mrs. Tian, the one in charge of the kitchen.
Before Sheng Lu and the others arrived, the population at the manor was simple, but now, there are many more people.
It’s not only the maidservants and elderly women that have increased, but also the guards.
Sheng Xueyi always felt that her irresponsible father’s visit carried ill intentions.
In fact, Sheng Xueyi was quite regretful at this moment.
Because after being reborn, she took the initiative to deal with the wicked so-called legitimate mother. Although she removed a hidden threat and felt relieved, the problem was, she changed history.
The change in history rendered her rebirth meaningless.
Her foresight from having lived a life was all in vain once she was dispatched to Sanchuan City.
Of course, due to the death of her wicked legitimate mother and her irresponsible father’s remarriage, it caused some other disruptions in the Capital. All these factors together wiped out the advantages of Sheng Xueyi’s rebirth.
Fortunately, in this legacy, she encountered Yuan Family’s fifth son, who was once famous in her past life.
However, perhaps fate was working against her, as her plans to approach the Yuan Family’s fifth son were thwarted before they even began.
Now, the person who previously discarded her like worn-out shoes appears full of enthusiasm in her life, which means there must be something she doesn’t know about, making her very uneasy.
"Xue’er, you’ve suffered grievances during this time!"
At the dining table, Sheng Lu suddenly looked at Sheng Xueyi and slowly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xueyi quickly stood up and quietly said, "Father, you’re exaggerating, your daughter has not suffered any grievances!"
"This child has always been sensible since childhood, never letting me and your mother worry!"
Sheng Lu gazed at Sheng Xueyi who stood up, "Don’t stand, sit and talk!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Sheng Xueyi respectfully expressed her gratitude, then sat down.
"Your mother passed away, and I married your stepmother."
"Later, I decided to send you to this manor."
"I had selfish intentions in this matter!"
"Before you were born, you were already betrothed."
"If the other party had been good, I would’ve accepted it."
"But who would’ve thought that boy would turn out to be a wastrel!"
"For your lifelong happiness, I had no choice but to painfully drive you out of the home."
"...?!?"
Hearing Sheng Lu speak to this point, Sheng Xueyi appropriately looked up with a curious expression.
"Can’t understand? Why driving you out of the home is for your good?"
Sheng Lu gave a slight smile to Sheng Xueyi and continued speaking.
