As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 203 Father and Daughter
In winter, the nights in the Holy Capital City are as cold as those in northern Hebei.

On the way back to the palace, Chen Shulan wrapped her fur cloak tightly around her body and sat there without saying a word, like a quiet and beautiful jade porcelain vase.

Nanny Liu and Qing Moss, who were waiting on the side, couldn't say anything.

When they got off the bus in front of the door, Chen Zhiyuan walked in front and said in a cold voice: "Come to the study!"

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes and responded lightly, "Yes."

She didn't have any special reaction to Chen Zhiyuan's ugly face, and just followed him slowly.

Aunt Liu was a little worried and whispered: "Miss, when you go to the study, talk to the Marquis properly and don't annoy him."

Otherwise it will be difficult.

"Yes." Chen Shulan nodded and replied softly: "Thank you, mama, I understand."

Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

When we arrived in front of the study, all the people waiting on us stopped in the corridor.

Chen Shulan stepped into the house. Before she could stand firmly on her feet, Chen Zhiyuan cursed coldly: "That's unreasonable! It was clear that His Majesty chose you to be the Princess of Dingxi five years ago!"

"In the past few years, King Dingxi has been pestering the daughter of the Xie family indiscriminately, causing trouble all over the city."

"The Holy Superintendent doesn't care. Now that you have entered the capital, you have not issued an imperial edict to grant marriage. Instead, you have praised Xie Zhaozhao like that today. It is clearly a slap in the face of our Chen family!"

"Father, be careful what you say." Chen Shulan advised in a low voice: "Be careful that walls have ears."

Chen Zhiyuan stiffened for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

"Yes."

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes and said meekly: "My daughter knows her mistake."

Seeing her look like this, Chen Zhiyuan became even more angry, "Have you always been like this at the banquet in Beijing? You are so half-dead, with low eyebrows, and you have absolutely no style of a noble girl from aristocratic family!"

"See how often Xie Zhaozhao tries to find ways to do this? No wonder the Holy One doesn't take you into consideration."

The maids and women waiting in the corridor all lowered their heads in unison.

Chen Shulan in the study room was insulted by these merciless words, and her originally calm and unruffled heart was aroused with anger.

She slowly raised her head and said coldly: "I can't stand up to the stage and have no grace. Isn't that because you, father, are incapable of teaching your daughter?"

"You——" Chen Zhiyuan's face changed suddenly and he pointed at Chen Shulan: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"I said." Chen Shulan sneered and said, "If I had a father like Liang Guogong to teach me, I would definitely be able to do well and be on the stage."

Chen Zhiyuan was furious: "You rebellious girl! Come on, come on!"

Aunt Liu immediately rushed in, protected Chen Shulan behind her, knelt on the ground and begged: "Master Marquis, please calm down. Miss, she didn't mean to contradict you, please calm down!"

The two maids, Qing Moss and Ling Lan, also rushed in and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Master Hou, please calm down! Master Hou, please calm down!"

Aunt Liu pulled Chen Shulan and said, "Miss, please admit your mistake quickly."

"I don't think I said the wrong thing."

Chen Shulan raised her chin slightly, "What does father want to do when he invites people in? Do you want some family law? My daughter accepts it."

After the words fell, Chen Shulan shook off Nanny Liu's hand, walked to the center of the study, and knelt down upright, with a straight back and calm but unyielding eyes.

Chen Zhiyuan's anger reached the top of his head, and his fingers and beard trembled together: "Okay, okay, okay, when you grow up and your wings become strong, my father won't be able to say a few words to you, okay!"

"Since you accept it voluntarily, I will teach you what filial piety is and what it means to obey your father at home."

"Come here, lock the young lady into the woodshed, and don't give her food or drink. No one can let her out without my order." "Master Hou!" Aunt Liu was shocked, "The young lady has been there lately. She has been unable to eat well and sleep well, and her body is weak. If she is locked up like this, she may not be able to hold on!"

"Mother Liu." Chen Zhiyuan looked at her coldly: "You are the young lady's wet nurse. You have been taking care of the young lady since she was a child. If the young lady is so rebellious now, I think it is because of your inability to teach her well!"

"Just lock her up with her and persuade her until she admits her mistake."

Aunt Liu was stunned, not expecting him to be so unkind.

The two maids Qing Moss and Ling Lan originally wanted to plead for mercy, but Chen Shulan stopped them.

Chen Shulan said expressionlessly: "My daughter obeys."

After saying this, he stood up and was taken to the woodshed with Aunt Liu.

Chen Zhiyuan's anger surged when he saw her look like that. He was so angry that he swung at the table and threw the letters on the table all over the floor.

……

The woodshed is damp and dark.

Chen Shulan didn't eat anything at the banquet, and soon she felt hungry and had abdominal cramps.

She slightly knitted her eyebrows and said apologetically to Nanny Liu, who was hugging her tightly at the side: "It's all my fault for causing trouble to Nanny... You are an old man from the Zhongshan Palace. You should admit your mistake to your father tomorrow. He will Let you out."

"What did the young lady say?" Nanny Liu held her in her arms and shook her head: "This old slave has taken care of the young lady since she was a child. How can I leave the young lady to live alone?"

"Hey..." Nanny Liu sighed, "Miss, you really shouldn't say such things."

"No matter what, the Marquis is your father. If you say that he is not as good as Guild Liang to teach your daughter, how can you not anger him?"

"Then what can I say?"

Chen Shulan leaned against Nanny Liu quietly, "Mr. Liang Guogong will not let his daughter be wronged, will not force his daughter to marry someone he does not like, and will not use his daughter as a tool for gambling."

"He is indeed not as good as Duke Liang. I just told the truth."

"Miss, you—" Aunt Liu quickly covered Chen Shulan's mouth.

There are people guarding outside. If these words reach Pingzhang Hou's ears, it will only cause him to be more angry and dissatisfied.

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes and said leisurely: "He doesn't love his mother, and he doesn't love me either. He only loves power... Why do I have such a father?"

"Mommy, why do you think... why am I Chen Shulan?"

"I don't want to be Chen Shulan. I just want to be a girl from an ordinary family. I have a father and mother who love me. I can marry the person I like and live a normal life."

The corners of Nanny Liu's eyes were moist, and she hugged Chen Shulan tightly, "Miss, don't say such silly things. Although the Marquis is a little indifferent to you, the old prince really loves you."

"Grandpa..." Chen Shulan murmured, "Yes, my grandfather loves me."

"But my grandfather has so many grandchildren, and he is also the King of Zhongshan who guards northern Hebei. He has everything to do, so how much time can he devote to loving me?"

Aunt Liu was speechless.

The old prince's love is indeed limited.

Chen Shulan is the daughter of Marquis Pingzhang. The old prince never interferes in his sons' family affairs, let alone this time they are in the capital.

But the old prince is thousands of miles away in northern Hebei.

Aunt Liu sighed secretly and said earnestly: "Miss, don't fight with the Marquis. Only by obeying him can you avoid suffering."
