The Obsessive Crown Prince Can't Let Me Go Chapter 113 - 111 Shen Yan Felt He Had Lost All Face

"Blood test to confirm parentage..." Mrs. Qin’s lips trembled. "This... how could this be? It’s outrageous, utterly preposterous!"

Madam Chen questioned coldly, "Why not? Could it be that the Shen family has sothing to hide?"

Mrs. Qin flushed with embarrassnt and discreetly tugged at Shen Yan’s sleeve. "Master, think of a way quickly!"

Shen Yan lowered his voice angrily. "This ss caused by that bastard Shen Xinglei, what can I do now? I told you from the beginning, don’t bring that mother and son back to the Capital, but you wouldn’t listen! You insisted, saying you wanted to have a grandson to dote on, and pressed the Second to take those two in!"

"Master!" Mrs. Qin protested, feeling wronged. "But didn’t you eventually agree? You said we couldn’t let the Shen bloodline wander outside, and even declared you’d personally na the boy! And now, how can you bla all this on alone?"

Shen Yan’s old face flushed with heat, and he stayed silent with a darkened expression.

The faces of the Shen family mbers were deeply unpleasant, but Shen Yinning, in stark contrast, blood with a radiant smile and cheerfully said, "Congratulations, Second Uncle, blessings upon you. Before Second Cousin has even married, he’s already delivered you a precious grandson to cherish on your grand birthday. Truly, what gift could surpass a golden grandchild on such a joyful occasion? Second Uncle’s fortune is unmatched!"

The Shen family’s expressions soured even further.

Out of consideration for the guests present, and with the ss that Sun Miaoniang had brought, they had no ti to contend with Shen Yinning.

Seeing the Shen family remain silent, the crowd imdiately confird the truth—Sun Miaoniang and her son Fan’er were indeed Shen Xinglei’s mistress and illegitimate child.

To think he’d just been swearing monts ago that he absolutely had no mistress and no illegitimate children—how could he have the gall to lie so blatantly!

The elder general of the Weiyuan General Mansion couldn’t hold back his ridicule. "A man of Great Zhou should stand tall and own his actions with honor. If Young General Shen has taken a wife and child outside, why must he deny and conceal it? And why rush into an engagent with the Xue family? Hasn’t this all unnecessarily delayed that young lady? I suppose Chief Xue wouldn’t want his precious Bright Pearl to beco soone’s stepmother even before marriage!"

Chief Xue’s face darkened ominously.

He had initially suspected that Qingqing might be lying, but now it turned out Shen Xinglei was the one who had deceived them!

How dare he put on such a facade of honesty and straightforwardness? How dare he propose marriage at his Xue household?

How dare he insult his daughter!

He roared, "Shen Yan, for this matter today, your Shen family must give my Xue family an explanation!"

Shen Yan felt as though he’d been utterly humiliated!

Today was his grand 40th birthday celebration—it should have been a lively, majestic occasion.

Yet from the mont Shen Yinning arrived, everything had taken a turn for the worse...

The fault lay with his own family, and Shen Yan could only muster a forced smile. "Brother Xue, to be honest, this matter is like this: Three years ago, my son went to the border to achieve rits, and this woman fell for him at first sight. She went as far as taking advantage of his drunken state to climb into his bed. But my son has no affection for her, and the child’s arrival was wholly unexpected. Only out of fear that it would affect the marriage between our two families, I worked hard to conceal the matter."

Sun Miaoniang’s pupils contracted, utterly incredulous.

This was not how it happened at all!

It had been mutual affection between her and Shen Xinglei—how had it turned into her forcing her way onto him?

Shen Yan continued, "Please rest assured, Brother Xue. I will imdiately order these two to return to the border, and they will never interfere with Qingqing and the Second Young Master again! From now on, Qingqing will be the undisputed mistress of the Shen Guogong Mansion!"

Upon hearing Shen Yan’s announcent to send her and her child away, Sun Miaoniang’s world collapsed.

She wiped at her tears and crawled on her knees toward Shen Xinglei. "Shen Lang, I’ve followed you for three years. How can you be so heartless? Shen Lang, say sothing—please, say sothing!"

Shen Xinglei furrowed his brows tightly, his chest brimming with anger.

How had he not seen it before—Sun Miaoniang was such a fool?!

His father’s words were clearly just an excuse, and besides, even if they were sent away now, they could always be brought back later!

Why was she so impatient!

Seeing the flicker of fury in his expression, Sun Miaoniang imdiately sensed that things were going wrong.

She had resolved to risk her reputation today because she wanted to enter the Shen Guogong Mansion honorably as a concubine.

Though she hoped Shen Xinglei would marry Xue Qingqing for a brighter career path, if it ca at the cost of her and Fan’er, she’d rather sabotage the marriage alliance.

Thinking of this, she suddenly clutched her child and knelt before Xue Qingqing, regardless of anything else.

In utter misery, she knocked her head to the ground in front of Xue Qingqing. "I never intended to ruin the engagent between Miss Xue and Shen Lang. I ca here only because Fan’er missed his father... Miss Xue’s generosity should understand a mother’s love! I beg you, Miss Xue, don’t drive us out of the Capital. Please let us stay! We’ll remain quietly in a corner of the Duke Mansion and never disturb you and Shen Lang! Wah... wah..."

As if her pleas weren’t humiliating enough, she grabbed Fan’er’s head and forced him—a re two-year-old child—to bow as well.

Her expression turned feral as she cruelly twisted Fan’er’s arm, screaming at him, "Hurry and kowtow to apologize to your future stepmother! Who told you to be a bastard child, a lowly thing hidden in darkness? If you must bla soone, bla that you’re the offspring of a base woman like !"

Fan’er, rely a toddler, had no knowledge of class or sha. Terrified, he bawled uncontrollably.

While sobbing and laughing hysterically, Sun Miaoniang turned to Xue Qingqing. "Are you satisfied now, Miss Xue?"

Xue Qingqing, having never witnessed such a scene, was utterly horrified. With reddened eyes, she hid behind Madam Xue. "Mother..."

Shen Yinning dabbed delicately at the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said softly, "What a pitiful sight for this mother and son. Second Sister Xue, since Chief Xue and Madam Xue are so determined for you to marry my Second Cousin, then why not go ahead? Though there’s already a concubine-born son before the official marriage, your parents said it themselves—my Second Cousin is honest and reliable, a man you can entrust your life to. Surely, Sun Miaoniang and Fan’er are nothing but accidents."

These words turned Chief Xue and Madam Xue’s faces beet red.

"No marriage!" Madam Xue choked on her words. "My daughter—our Xue family’s daughter—can marry anywhere she pleases! Why should she step into marriage only to beco a stepmother before even having her own first child?!"

Chief Xue fud, "Shen Erlang not only has an illegitimate child out of wedlock, he has repeatedly deceived us! Shen Yan, it seems you hold no regard for my Xue family at all! I’ll report this matter directly to the Holy Emperor and see how His Majesty rules on it!"

The Xue couple angrily pulled Xue Qingqing along and prepared to leave.

"Wait! It’s all a misunderstanding—why escalate it to the Emperor? Let’s sit down and discuss this reasonably!"

Mrs. Qin panicked and tried to grab Madam Xue’s arm to stop her.

Shen Yinning sohow found herself beside Shen Yunxi, whispering softly, "The Xue family truly doesn’t know what’s good for them. My Second Cousin has noble lineage and a brilliant future ahead. So what if there’s an illegitimate child? Is Xue Qingqing not worthy of matching him?"

Though Shen Yunxi disliked Shen Yinning, she inwardly agreed with her words today.

Putting on the deanor of the Crown Princess Consort, she suddenly declared, "Mother, stop bothering with them! She’s just the daughter of a asly Chief of Staff—what, does Xue Qingqing think she’s so sort of Princess? n having three or four wives is perfectly normal. What’s the big deal if my Second Brother has a mistress and an illegitimate son? They’re creating such drama! If Xue Qingqing can’t even tolerate a mother and child, she’s clearly narrow-minded and spiteful! Such a woman is dood to find no husband in the Capital in the future. Frankly, I’m relieved she won’t be stepping foot into our Shen family now!"

As her words fell, an audible gasp spread through the room!

The guests were utterly shocked—how could such harsh and venomous words co from the mouth of the Crown Princess Consort herself?
