After Jiang Miao finished speaking, there was no sound in the room.

Old Master Sheng didn't seem to hear it, and his eyes didn't leave the calligraphy and painting at all.

There was a fine layer of sweat on Jiang Miao's forehead.

Although he didn't say anything, the oppressive atmosphere in the room made Jiang Miao's heart beat faster.

After waiting for a long time, there was no answer.

Jiang Miao said again: "Old man, I want to divorce Sheng Xinghan."

The voice was louder than before, but also trembling.

Mr. Sheng seems to have finally heard this time.

He raised his head, glanced at Jiang Miao, and seemed not surprised at her words.

"Go back, I just treat you as a joke, I don't care about you today, in the future, don't let me hear similar words again."

He obviously said it in the most flat tone, but it made Jiang Miao feel as if someone was pressing her hard, making her bow her head.

"You know, I'm not joking, I'm serious."

Jiang Miao's voice trembled.

She knew in her heart that even if she said it, it wouldn't make much sense, but she didn't want to give up.

Old Master Sheng put down the magnifying glass and looked at Jiang Miao with complicated eyes.

Asked an unrelated question.

"Do you know why I agreed to let you in?"

Jiang Miao shook her head.

"It's not because of the agreement between our two families, nor is it because I like you so much, it's because I know that you are struggling in Jiang's family. You are clearly your own daughter, but you are stepped on by an adopted daughter."

Jiang Miao was surprised, she didn't expect Old Master Sheng to know so clearly.

"You don't have a natal family to rely on, and it's difficult for you to move forward in Yandu, so people like you have better control, and won't do things like eating inside and outside after marriage."

Old Master Sheng's understatement seemed like a thunderbolt exploded in Jiang Miao's ears.

"So... even if Jiang Yanyan and the others did not force me, the last person I would marry would be Sheng Xinghan, right?"

From the very beginning, Mr. Sheng never thought of letting her marry Sheng Jiashu.

"That's right, with your identity, Xinghan is just right."

Jiang Miao felt cold all over her body.

As if standing in hell.

She was pressed on the chopping board, and anyone could cut her a knife. She thought that if she tried hard to resist, she would be able to break free in the end and be free.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, they were all puppets controlled by other people's palms.

Jiang Yanyan and the others forced her to withdraw from the engagement and marry her instead. Everything they did was within the expectation of Mr. Sheng.

The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Jiang Miao looked at Old Master Shang Sheng.

He had a smile on his face, but his eyes showed the contempt of someone who had been in the position for a long time, and he couldn't see her in his eyes!

In his eyes, she was probably not as good as an ant.

In the huge Yandu, no one cares about her, no one gives her support.

She is alone, like the only grass in the wilderness.

No one cares about her life or death.

"Jiang Miao, if you are smarter, you should understand that the Sheng family, Xinghan, is your future support. Take good care of Xinghan and make him happy. Only he can protect you."

Jiang Miao clenched her hands tightly.

But women, why do you have to rely on others.

She doesn't want to rely on anyone but herself.

Since she was a child, she has relied on herself to get to the present, and she can do it in the future.

Grandpa Sheng seemed to be able to hear her heart.

"You don't naively think that you can live on your own without relying on anyone, do you?"

"People who have this kind of thinking usually die very early! The premise of relying on yourself is that you are strong enough, but what do you have now?"

Jiang Miao bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"It's hard for you to live in the Sheng family, but if you leave, do you think you'll be able to live well?"

Mr. Sheng changed the topic.

"What's more, what is your status, don't you have points? What qualifications do you have to mention divorce?"

"After entering the Sheng family, unless the Sheng family publicly declares that they don't want you, you won't even think about leaving until you die."

Old Master Sheng's gaze made Jiang Miao's whole body tingle.

In his eyes, she was small and humble, and she didn't even have the qualifications to ask for a divorce.

He blatantly used power to overwhelm people.

However, she couldn't resist saying no.

"Go out and take good care of Xinghan. If I hear this kind of words from you again, then you won't have the chance to speak again."

This is not a threat.

This is an ultimatum.

Jiang Miao turned and left.

After walking out of the study, she felt as if she had come alive.

Jiang Miao walked numbly in the long corridor.

Old Master Sheng's words echoed in his ears over and over again.

Her life and death are not up to her.

Even though she resignedly obeyed the old man's words, once he felt that there was a more suitable person who could replace her, then he would take her life without hesitation.

Obedience is never a reason to survive.

Jiang Miao's eyes gradually became sober from chaotic to restless.

She didn't want to die without knowing why, and she didn't want someone else's word to decide her life or death.

There is a voice in her heart, which is getting louder and louder, and she wants to become stronger.

She didn't want to be trampled on by people like this again.

She is leaving the Sheng family.

She wants to control her own destiny.

Those naive thoughts in Jiang Miao's heart were all shot to death.

The things she insisted on in the past, truth, justice, and dignity, could not allow her to survive.

From now on, she must change the status quo and take a completely different path from before.

Otherwise, there is only a dead end waiting for her.

……

As soon as Jiang Miao left, Old Master Sheng called Sheng Xinghan over.

"Just now, Jiang Miao came to me and said that she wanted to divorce you."

Obviously this is what he hoped, but when he heard the news, his chest was still heavy.

But there was disdain on his face.

"She, divorced? Don't overestimate your own strength, and don't look at yourself."

"It seems that you have taken the initiative to train her these two days, which made her a little unbearable."

Sheng Xinghan's face was icy cold.

"What's the point of this, just get used to it in the future, grandpa, didn't you agree?"

"Of course not. No woman married into the Sheng family can get divorced."

Sheng Xinghan clenched his hands tightly.

At the beginning, when his mother knew that Sheng Boyuan had raised a mistress and had an illegitimate child, she also mentioned that she wanted a divorce.

The results of it?

died.

Sheng Xinghan deliberately said those words to Jiang Miao, just to let her go to the old man to ask for a divorce.

Although he knows that the chances are very small.

But what if it can be done?

Today, it turns out that the possibility of a small probability of things being realized may not exist.

Sheng Xinghan couldn't tell what mood he was in at the moment.

I want her to leave, but I want her to stay.

Contradictions are complicated.

Sheng Xinghan seemed to ask casually: "Grandpa, if you really find me someone prettier than her, what about her?"

Master Sheng replied casually: "Her, is this a problem?"

Sheng Xinghan clenched his hands tightly.

He lowered his head, unable to hide the rage in his eyes.

He would never let the same thing happen again with Jiang Miao.

Sheng Xinghan returned to the bedroom, opened the door, and saw Jiang Miaoqiao standing inside.

Wearing a white silk nightdress that reaches to the calf, she has a sweet smile.

Jiao Didi shouted: "Honey, you're back."
