Rong Junhan was shocked to hear Mu Tangxue's words. The other Shens' eyes were wide opened in disbelief. They had always respected Rong Junhan, so nobody would dare to speak to her like that. Mu Tangxue was the first.
Seeing Rong Junhan wanting to start another fight, Third Aunt immediately charged forward and shielded Mu Tangxue from her. "Eldest Sister, she is just a child. You really do not have to be this angry!"
Rong Junhan jeered at her. "I am an outsider?"
"Don't be angry, Eldest Sister. What Mu Tangxue said is not totally wrong. She could not choose her birth. This is not something you can blame her for, right?"
"Then what do my sacrifices for all these years mean?" asked Rong Junhan.
"But she is still Eldest Brother's daughter!"
"Actually, it is possible for me to give in. Since the existence of the sisters are already known, I cannot say anything more. Although I am hurt, I will still accept the fact. But I will never let her stay here. As long as I do not know where she is and she will not appear in front of me, I can pretend not to know them. Then, I will be less bothered about them."
"But where should a child of the Shen family be if she does not stay here?" asked Third Aunt.
"Since I am the child of the Shen family, of course there should be a place for me to stay!" Mu Tangxue was not letting Rong Junhan get in her way this time. "I am just an eighteen-year-old girl. Where can I go if I leave my family?"
"She's right, Eldest Sister. She is such a delicate young girl. If you let her wander on the street, how are we going to explain to Eldest Brother if anything happens to her?"
Seeing these two people supporting each other in the debate, Rong Junhan was burning with rage.
But Rong Junhan was not going to waste her time arguing with these two. She asked Grandpa Shen, "Father, can you agree to my request? I won't stop you from seeing her,but I do not want her to live in this mansion. She can live anywhere she wants as long as she does not let me see her. Am I asking for too much?"
"Grandpa..." Mu Tangxue did not give in. She begged Grandpa Shen.
"Qiqi had no intention of living in this mansion. But Mu Tangxue has no place to go. Since she is a Shen, of course I will take care of her."
"Huh," Rong Junhan smirked. "Then, you will see this coming weekend." Rong Junhan snatched her handbag and left the mansion. And Mu Tangxue was pressing her scalded wound and looked at Grandpa Shen.
"Grandpa..
."
"Let's go to the hospital." Grandpa Shen motioned Third Aunt to come forward. "Let Third Aunt go with you."
"But Father, Eldest Sister is getting angrier," Second Aunt said helplessly.
"There is nothing we can do about this. Don't you know Junhan's temper?" Grandpa Shen glanced at everyone.
"Why can't you just move out and live with your sister?" Second Aunt asked Mu Tangxue. But Third Aunt laughed at the question.
"Don't you know the sisters do not get along well? Can they even live together? How can you all mistreat your family member for an outsider? Xue'er, come, I will send you to the hospital."
Mu Tangxue glanced at Second Aunt but did not say anything. She let Third Aunt hold her and walked to the main door.
"You did great today. You do not have to fear that woman at all."
Mu Tangxue laughed. Because she felt very good. Rong Junhan was just her father's fiancée, how could she be compared to her, his daughter? Moreover, Shen Jianchuan and Su Ziqing were a couple years ago.
"Eldest Sister is just jealous. Come to think of it, if your mother was a nobler lady than she was, she wouldn't be engaged with Eldest Brother. If you see things this way, then Eldest Sister was the third wheel between them."
