Chapter 768 Compensation
Chapter 768 Compensation
Shen Shuhan raised his eyes and saw Shen Shuyi coming. He remained silent and said nothing.
Liang Wanjun followed her gaze and her heart tightened.
The girl's features were cold, with a hint of indifference and aloofness, but she couldn't explain the reason. Although she was young, she had an indescribable cool and majestic aura.
"Greetings, Princess Mingzhu." Liang Wanjun immediately greeted her.
Shen Shuyi stepped forward and sneered, "Miss Liang, you keep saying that my brother is entangled with you? Dare I ask when has my brother ever entangled with Miss Liang in all these years?"
Liang Wanjun looked a little embarrassed, but she felt guilty when Shen Shuyi asked her this question.
To be honest, Shen Shuhan is indeed a gentleman.
Over the years, he not only kept silent about what happened, thus preserving her reputation, but he also never used this incident to seek repayment for her kindness or to force her to marry him.
Otherwise, if he had spoken this out back then, although he might not have been able to bring down the Third Prince, his situation would not have been so dire.
But...there's no point in saying that now.
Liang Wanjun was silent for a moment, then continued, "I am very grateful to Mr. Shen for saving me that day, but love cannot be forced."
Shen Shuyi sneered: "So, Miss Liang had an affair with my second brother while she was still engaged to my elder brother?"
Liang Wanjun's face turned pale, and she said quickly: "My lord, please be careful with your words. I have absolutely no such intention!"
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips and looked at her: "If that's the case, then why can't you force your marriage with my brother? And can you marry my second brother?"
Liang Wanjun was speechless and couldn't say a word. She clutched the handkerchief in both hands, obviously feeling guilty and uneasy.
"Or, because my brother saved Miss Liang and became disabled, with no hope for a career in politics, Miss Liang is flattering the powerful and bullying the weak and is unwilling to fulfill her promise." Shen Shuyi said again.
"Princess! The marriage between the two families was a joke. Besides, I didn't force the eldest master to save me. How can this be blamed on me?"
Hearing Shen Shuyi's words, Liang Wanjun immediately became angry and her face turned red.
Shen Shuyi approached her step by step. Liang Wanjun's throat tightened and she stepped back involuntarily.
"Didn't you force your brother to save you? So, it was you who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful, and willingly offered yourself to Xiao Heyu?"
"Or were you enjoying yourself so much that you didn't shout out loud, so your brother was meddling in your affairs?"
Shen Shuyi's words only made Liang Wanjun feel suffocated.
Why did she have to bring up that incident again and again? That incident was like a nightmare to her.
Of course she was grateful to Shen Shuhan, but that didn't mean she was willing to spend her whole life on it!
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with Shen Shuyi, Liang Wanjun turned to look at Shen Shuhan: "Master Shen! I have always been grateful to you for saving me from danger, but you can't just ask for repayment for this matter, right? How can you still be called a gentleman if you act like this!"
"Or is it that you can't find a better marriage in your current state, so you want to pester me!"
Maybe it's because Shen Shuhan doesn't talk, he seems easier to deal with than Shen Shuyi.
As a result, Liang Wanjun didn't dare to say anything more to Shen Shuyi, but instead criticized Shen Shuhan.
"When you saved me, didn't you also hope that I could live a better life? Didn't you hope that I could be happy?"
"If I had known that you would force me to do something against my will and seek repayment for my kindness, I would have rather not been saved by you in the first place!"
Shen Shuyi stood aside, her almond-shaped eyes cold.
I have to say, even though she was trying to make Liang Wanjun anxious on purpose, the words she said still made people feel upset.
This is human nature.
Fortunately, my brother had an accident, otherwise if he had married a woman like this, there would have been unrest in the family in the future.
"Oh, you are so arrogant! Someone like you is not worthy of my brother!"
"But since the two families left a token of trust, it won't be easy to cancel this marriage."
Seeing that Shen Shuhan never spoke a word and had Shen Shuyi do everything for him, Liang Wanjun couldn't help but secretly curse him for being too cowardly.
Fortunately, I didn't really marry him.
It seems that the young man who was so talented back then has long since changed.
"What does the princess want?" Liang Wanjun had no choice but to confront Shen Shu.
"Ms. Liang, don't think that just because what happened back then was secretive enough, no one would know about it."
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Xiao Heyu is arrogant and conceited, and likes to seek excitement. There were many people present at that time.
"If this makes this princess unhappy, I can find some people to spread the news to the streets. By then, I don't know how many families will be willing to marry Miss Liang." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.
When she met her clear eyes, Liang Wanjun's heart trembled and she felt a sense of fear for no reason.
"What does the princess want? A forced melon is not sweet. My heart is not on the eldest young master. Even if this marriage is forced, he will not be happy." Liang Wanjun's throat was tight, but she was still calm.
This is what Shen Shuyi was waiting for.
"The Liang family broke off the engagement with my elder brother and gave the property to my second elder brother. Although this may help the outside world get away with it, it will damage my elder brother's reputation. How will others view my elder brother?"
"So, one hundred thousand taels of silver is just compensation for my brother."
Liang Wanjun was stunned for a moment: "One hundred thousand taels?"
One hundred thousand taels is by no means a small sum, but it is not something the Liang family cannot afford.
But because of such a broken engagement, he had to pay Shen Shuhan 100,000 taels of silver...
Liang Wanjun was really unwilling.
After all, although the Liang family can afford it, they are not wealthy. If they give this money to Shen Shuhan, her dowry will definitely be discounted.
but……
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold: "One hundred thousand taels, we will return the original token."
"Or do you think, Miss Liang, that my brother's life, which he sacrificed to save you, is not worth these 100,000 taels?"
Liang Wanjun just felt guilty and struggled. There was no other reason. One hundred thousand taels was really not a small amount for their Liang family...
Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips: "Miss Liang, please go back. After all, if I can't see the compensation of 100,000 taels of silver, then you will have to pay it with your whole life."
Liang Wanjun suddenly turned her head and looked at Shen Shuyi, with disbelief in her eyes.
Is this the legendary Princess Mingzhu?
"As a woman, you should know how difficult it is for me. Why do you want to hurt me and force me to a dead end?"
Shen Shuyi sneered: "You and I are not the same kind. At least, I can't do such an ungrateful thing."
Seeing that Shen Shuyi had had enough, Shen Shuhan said at the right time: "Ms. Liang, please go back. Shuyi, push me back to the room."
Liang Wanjun stood there, looking at the two people's backs, her eyes full of unwillingness.
The maid next to her couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what should we do now?"
Liang Wanjun was worried: "Let's go back home first and see what my parents mean."
