After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 99: Romance Scandal
After making his position clear, Shen Ning placed ten taels of silver on the table and said calmly, "This is the room and meal expenses for our group for the next two days. It should be enough."

Mr. Zhong looked at the family in front of him with a heavy gaze. Shen Ning was not a member of the Zhong family, so the Zhong family naturally could not force him to stay, but...

"I can't take the money. If you insist on leaving, I won't say anything, but."

During the pause, Mr. Zhong looked at the second family of three and said in an aggressive tone: "It's impossible to separate the family. We are not dead yet!"

When Yue heard this, her eyes almost popped out. Why not split up the family?

Over the years, the second wife has been suffering from one illness after another and has never been well. She is also unsuccessful in doing business and is always a drag on the family.

Although the Zhong family is just an empty shell with a nominal reputation, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, Zhong Xuecheng still holds a position in the government, so the status of the Zhong family is unquestionable.

Moreover, the second wife had no son and therefore could not inherit the Zhong family's property. Dividing it out would only benefit the first wife and not cause any harm.

The most important thing is, as long as the family is separated, she will feel at ease when Gu Ting comes and doesn’t see Zhong Di.

Yue wanted to ask the second wife to move out before, but she was afraid that others would say that she, as the eldest sister-in-law, could not tolerate the second wife. This time, she finally waited for them to ask for it in person, but why didn’t the old man agree?

Mrs. Yue was so anxious that she winked at the old lady, but she ignored her and said, "What are you doing?"

"That's right. You're splitting up while our elders are still alive, as if our Zhong Mansion can't accommodate you. To be honest, your family has always supported you in all the troubles you've encountered over the years. The most difficult times are over. It's inappropriate to bring this up now."

Zhong Shouyi has always been a filial son and never contradicts his elders, but after hearing these words today, he couldn't help it. He stood up and almost cried as he spoke:

"The saddest time? There is never the saddest, only the saddest. You know, my husband and I have no other requests. We only hope to raise our daughter to adulthood and let her live a happy life. But what about now?"

"Backbone, but they are just using us as scapegoats at any time. His eldest daughter is just a daughter, but my daughter is not a person? Why should Xiaodi bear the consequences for her mistakes? Won't you be awakened by your dreams in the middle of the night?"

Every word Zhong Shouyi said came from the bottom of his heart, but Shen Ning was confused. It seemed as if there was a deep blood feud between them.

Thinking of how Yue was about to sell the bell and flute, Dou, who had always been weak, couldn't help but speak out: "You are all so conscienceless, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

When she heard the words "God bless you, God bless you", the old lady became furious as if something had been touched on her reverse scale. She walked forward swiftly, raised her hand, and slapped him in the face.

She didn't even care about her image, and immediately cursed: "Bullshit, even if lightning strikes, it will strike you first."

Old Master Zhong was also very angry. He stood up with the help of his cane and said sternly, "Alright, it's settled. The second daughter's marriage is up to your aunt. Try to get her married before the New Year to avoid making the house a mess. You are an uneducated person."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yue was the first to be happy. See, after all the fuss, it finally fell into her hands.

She said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, I will definitely find a very good marriage for Xiao Di."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Zhong ignored the sullen faces of the second family and told everyone to leave: "Alright, let's all go."

Zhong Di lowered his head, his eyes red, and looked at those people who acted as if it had nothing to do with him, and sneered.

They have done so many bad things, yet they still pretend to be good people. Today, she will expose their hypocrisy. Zhong Di suddenly spoke, and said in a light tone: "Are you planning to cross the river and then destroy the bridge?"

Because there were outsiders present today, otherwise Mr. Zhong would have beaten her a long time ago. Hearing her sarcastic words, he turned his head and glared at her: "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?"

At this point, Zhong Di no longer cares about his reputation. He has even lost his innocence. What’s the point of having all these? Besides, everyone has known it for a long time, right?

The mistake was that they shouldn't have pushed people into a desperate situation.

Thinking of this, Zhong Di spoke fearlessly: "When Zhong Ling'er had a miscarriage and asked me to help her consummate her marriage with her brother-in-law, didn't my grandparents promise that even if I couldn't get married in the future, the Zhong family would support me for the rest of my life and would never let me suffer any grievances, right?"

"Why are you changing your story now? Could it be that what you said before was all gossiped by dogs?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically. No one expected that Zhong Di would be so bold and dare to say anything.

You have to know that there were maids and servants around at this time. Although there were people in the Zhong Mansion who knew about it, there were only a few of them.

Zhong Ling'er still planned to be with Gu Ting forever, and she dared not let any news leak out.

But now, it's all ruined.

Zhao Qiyue couldn't hold back the gossip in her heart, her mouth swollen with shock. It had been a long time since she had heard such explosive gossip, and she had heard it from the person involved.

Shen Ning couldn't help but frown. It was too unethical for the eldest son to do this. The key point was that from what he said, the grandfather also knew that they were both granddaughters, so this was... too much.

Zhong Ling'er was so angry that she was shaking all over. She walked forward and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart."

Zhong Di faced the dozens of dagger-like looks from the opposite side and acted calm and relaxed:
"You don't admit it? Fine, then I'll go and tell my brother-in-law. They say that a husband and wife for a day will show a hundred days of love. We've been husband and wife for so many days, so he must have feelings for me."

There was a cold light in Mr. Zhong's eyes, and he said word by word: "How dare you say such a thing? Do you have any shame?"

Zhong Di looked at everyone and said slowly, "Shame? Do you have it? How dare you say that to me?"

Seeing that she was really going to confront him, the old lady stepped forward to smooth things over: "You, little girl, have been difficult to discipline since you were a child, and now you have an extremely bad temper. Are you going to break up this family?"

After she finished speaking, the old lady coughed a few times as if she was angry. When she spoke again, her tone was a little softer:
"Since you are young and ignorant, we, the elders, will not argue with you. Just tell me, what do you want?"

This meant that they were going to negotiate terms. Zhong Di still said, "Separate the family."

Mr. Zhong's attitude was still firm: "Impossible!"

Zhong Di was neither angry nor annoyed, and said confidently: "Now, I have the final say. I will give you one night to think about it, otherwise you will be waiting for the Zhong family's scandal to spread all over the streets tomorrow morning."
