The Time Traveler Was Forced To Command The Dark Guards [MTL]

Chapter 2

The Qi family trio took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to strike. They found the beautiful maid in front of them incredibly infuriating!

Was this maid planning to rebel? Who gave her the audacity!

Marquis Qi glanced at Shen Tingsong, realizing that he was not as tall as the other party. Though not entirely unattractive, he usually neglected his appearance, resulting in a slightly greasy look on his chubby face. "Lord Shen, is this the upbringing of the Shen family? Do you permit such unruliness from a maid?"

If this had occurred in their household, the maid would have been swiftly dragged out and met with a fatal end.

Shen Tingsong smiled with an air of composure. "The Shen family's subordinates have one primary virtue: their unwavering loyalty in protecting the Lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, Daya leaned forward, offering a cheerful and insolent smile. "Thank you for your praise. In addition to faithfully protecting the Lord, the subordinates of the Shen family possess many other advantages."

Shen Tingsong's smiling expression froze.

Did she just claim being thick-skinned as an advantage?

"Marquis Qi, Qi Shuhan, you have only two options ahead of you: either suffer financial losses or perish completely," Daya said, delivering the harshest words with a gleeful smile. After all, the young lady had stated that as long as she remained a member of the Shen family and as long as the family remained intact, she could freely cause trouble. Even if the sky were to fall, Lord Shen would support her.

"Is that what Uncle Shen intends?" Qi Shuhan inquired, knowing that Shen Tingsong was the head of the Shen family.

Shen Tingsong looked at him silently. His second daughter had poor health and suffered from mental instability. Additionally, they rarely interacted with each other, so there was no genuine father-daughter bond between them. If his son's fiancée were such a person, he would also try his best to seek a divorce.

Therefore, if the Qi family chose to divorce, he wouldn't be overly embarrassed.

However, as a father, he couldn't exert control over his daughter and would not force her to return when she sought justice.

"My second daughter has truly endured a lot."

One statement conveys the attitude. If you're not foolish, you should understand it, and the Qi family should provide compensation.

Suddenly, Daya found herself holding a handkerchief. She pretended to wipe away nonexistent tears as she exclaimed, "Master, I am right. Our young lady has truly suffered!"

"She's insane!" Mrs. Hou gritted her teeth.

"At the beginning, the Shen family didn't force your family into the engagement."

"How was I supposed to know she was mentally unstable back then?"

"Miss was born with fragile health. Why didn't you annul the engagement until now?"

After a back-and-forth exchange with Daya, Mrs. Hou never anticipated being questioned and grew even angrier.

Unfazed, Daya muttered to herself, "Our young lady was betrothed to Qi Shizi from birth. Today, 16 years of her youth have been wasted. She requires an annual compensation of 100,000 taels. Is that too much to ask?"

Word of this reached the Shen family.

In this light, 1.6 million taels didn't appear to be an exorbitant sum.

No.

It was a miscalculation.

One hundred and sixty thousand taels.
