The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 127 I Want to Leave the Marquis's Residence

When the wooden box was opened, a white jade bracelet was revealed inside. The old lady immediately recognized it as a gift she had given to Shen Hanyu when Shen Hanyu first arrived.

"what do you mean?"

The old lady squinted and did not take the bracelet back.

"The second thing is that I want to leave the Marquis's residence."

The old lady sat up straight. She understood that Shen Hanyu wanted to sever ties with the Marquis's mansion.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Shen Hanyu stood in front of the old lady, her expression serious.

"Of course I know. I don't want to stay in this Marquis's mansion anymore. Do you need me to help my grandmother recall all the things my aunt, cousins, and my second cousin who is in jail?"

Hearing Shen Hanyu's nonchalant tone, the old lady was furious.

"They are all your relatives and elders, why are you so petty?"

Shen Hanyu sat down, her imposing manner undiminished.

"Grandmother, instead of getting angry, let's talk about terms. But if we're talking about terms, I have something else to say, which is about Liang Ruoxue, whom you admire and are most proud of, and the Third Prince."

Shen Hanyu smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

The old lady's heart skipped a beat. What did Shen Hanyu mean by this?

What happened between Liang Ruoxue and the Third Prince?

"Grandmother, aren't you surprised? The Third Prince used to be very fond of my older cousin, but later he fell for my younger cousin. Grandmother, why don't you guess who's helping him out?"

The person who was helping was sitting right in front of the old lady.

Strike at the snake's vital spot; Shen Hanyu understood all too well what this Marquis's mansion cared about.

Xu Ying and Liang Chengxuan might not care much about this, since Li Jun isn't engaged to Liang Ruoyan yet, but the old lady and the second wife's family will definitely care.

Once they convinced the old lady that filial piety is the most important virtue, Liang Chengxuan and Xu Ying wouldn't be able to stop her.

Miao Cui suddenly realized why Shen Hanyu had helped Liang Ruoxue back then; now it was coming in handy.

"If Grandmother is curious, she can call my cousin over and ask her."

The old lady glanced at Qiuyue, who understood and quickly went to find Liang Ruoxue.

Looking at Shen Hanyu, the old lady couldn't calm down. What else had this child done behind her back?

Liang Ruoxue was quickly summoned, accompanied by Liang Chengli and Liang Fangrong. Xu Ying also rushed over upon hearing the news, wanting to see what had happened.

“Grandmother, you can ask her now.”

Shen Hanyu spoke casually.

The old lady looked at Liang Ruoxue, who looked completely bewildered.

She hasn't done anything lately, so what does it have to do with her?

"Xue'er, did she interfere in your affair with the Third Prince?"

The old lady pointed at Shen Hanyu, and Liang Ruoxue was startled. She looked at Shen Hanyu with great anger.

This Shen Hanyu actually brought the matter to the old lady's side.

Seeing Liang Ruoxue's expression, the old lady understood perfectly well.

"Shen Hanyu, what are you going to do?"

Liang Ruoxue couldn't help but ask.

Liang Chengli was completely bewildered. He had been kept in the dark. He had originally intended to talk about Liang Sihan's matter, but unexpectedly, his daughter had gotten into trouble again.

Xu Ying knew what was going on. She looked at Shen Hanyu and wondered what was happening now. Since Shen Hanyu arrived, their Marquis's mansion had become quite lively.

Liang Ruoyan watched from outside the door, also wondering why Shen Hanyu suddenly brought this up.

“If I were to reveal my cousin’s affair, even if the Third Prince did not suspect anything, Princess Yongning would not let it go. Back then, Princess Yongning also cut off my cousin’s affair, right? Grandmother, you can still make a choice: let me leave the Marquis’s mansion or let us fight to the death.”

Xu Ying was surprised; it turned out that he wanted to sever ties with them by leaving the Marquis's residence.

“Grandmother, if this gets out, I don’t know what the consequences will be for me, but this marriage will not be possible, and the reputation of the Marquis’s mansion will be ruined.”

Shen Hanyu pressed closer and closer. Liang Ruoxue was furious and wanted to curse, but she was frightened by a single look from Shen Hanyu and took two steps back.

She's right. She was able to get to where she is with the Third Prince without Shen Hanyu's help.

That's why Liang Ruoxue was so cautious, fearing that one wrong step would lead to total defeat.

"Are you forcing me?"

The old lady looked up and glanced at Liang Fangrong, who was fidgeting.

Compared to Liang Fangrong, Shen Hanyu was indeed much more decisive and ruthless in her actions.

Shen Hanyu was right about one thing: the old lady would never stand by and watch this marriage fall through.

"Miaoyi, why do you have to leave? If you leave the Marquis's mansion, you won't be able to receive any invitations from those noble ladies in the future. Without the support of the Marquis's mansion, how can you, a woman, stand on your own?"

Liang Fangrong still wanted Shen Hanyu to stay, at least she wouldn't be alone in this mansion.

“I don’t care about what Mother said. All I want now is to leave the Marquis’s mansion.”

Xu Ying looked at the old lady. Now it was up to the old lady to make the choice, and nothing they said would matter.

Shen Hanyu really knew the old lady's weakness. It's a real pity that we couldn't get any benefits from Shen Hanyu.

Liang Fangrong is useless too; she can't even keep her own daughter.

"How can you bear to leave your mother behind?" The old lady began to appeal to her emotions. "She carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. It wasn't easy for her. If you leave, you will become an unfilial person."

Using her fame to pressure her, Shen Hanyu remained unmoved.

The old lady knew she couldn't persuade them anymore; if they didn't listen, Shen Hanyu would really fight them to the death.

Judging from Liang Ruoxue's terrified expression, it must have been a very unpleasant feeling to have someone hold a hold on her.

"Okay, I promise you."

Shen Hanyu knew the old lady wouldn't refuse.

Someone was already packing her things. After Shen Hanyu reached an agreement, she naturally wouldn't reveal Liang Ruoxue's matter.

Liang Ruoxue looked at her, and Shen Hanyu smiled back.

For some reason, Liang Ruoxue couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little scared.

Despite witnessing this farce, Liang Chengli still brought up Liang Sihan's matter.

"Mother, Han'er is my son, I can't just abandon him. Mother, can you think of a way?"

The old lady is now physically and mentally exhausted and doesn't want to deal with Liang Sihan's affairs.

"Just ask your brother about this. I'm too old to help you with this."

Liang Chengli felt desolate. He couldn't leave here, and he didn't know if things were going well with Lin Lihua.

Shen Hanyu went back to her room to get her things, preparing to leave today.

Miao Cui was also very happy that she could go with Shen Hanyu.

"So the girl has been thinking so far ahead; she's been planning this for a long time."

Shen Hanyu remained noncommittal. The golden hammer was coming over immediately, and she didn't want to stay in this place for another second.

"Remember to keep a close eye on Liang Sihan's side."

Although it's a done deal, we still have to be careful.

Miao Cui noted it down. The door was pushed open, and Liang Fangrong brought Jian Xia in. She didn't come to stop them, but even if she wanted to, she couldn't.

Seeing Liang Fangrong's expression, Shen Hanyu recalled how she had told the people in the Marquis's mansion about her whereabouts in her previous life.
