... Ji Chunmian was not harmed in the end. After all, it was a fact that she saved Shen Shuyan. Shen Zangfeng also didn't want Shen Lianshi to be known as a cruel woman-killer.
So the couple thought about it for a while and decided to just get by in peace.
In other words, this incident did not happen!
Of course, for outsiders and servants, if you talk about this kind of family matter lightly, it's not easy to ask too much.
However, several elders in the clan started asking questions, accusing the Chief Guard Ying of not being a good steward. He actually let a commoner rush to the front yard without saying a word, and openly attacked Shen Lianshi. Why not punish her severely? Front door style.
He also said that Shen Lian was really unkind and would kill his own daughter for a trivial matter.
Due to Su Yuyin's earlier transfer of power, he was considered to have offended Wei Changying. And this time Shen Shuyan was beaten, the reason was also related to the third room. There were rumors in the clan that Shen Zangfeng and his wife were arrogant and domineering after they came to power, despising their brothers and sisters and even killing their sisters-in-law and nieces.
After learning the news, Su Yuyin felt very uncomfortable. When I meet my husband in private, I always say a lot of resentful things. If he hadn't been unable to bear it, how could this pregnancy have become the reason for the criticism of the third wife who was covering up for them now
Shen Zangji was also helpless, and when forced, he said: "Then you simply don't want this child?"
Su Yuyin had nothing to say and could only worry in his heart.
Fortunately, there was Shen Lianshi, who had been in a bad mood because he was worried that he would never have any biological heirs. At this moment, he saw that he had caused trouble for his younger brother and sister-in-law because of his anger. The important point was that the two nephews he regarded as much more important than his biological daughters were both biological children of his sister-in-law.
If Wei Changying was confirmed as a poor and unvirtuous housekeeper, wouldn't it delay the future of his two nephews
So Shen Lianshi insisted on replacing Shen Zangfeng and went to see several clan elders. After hearing their accusations, he sneered and said: "The so-called failure to educate is the fault of the father. I teach my daughter a lesson and shut down several clan elders." What's the matter? I've never heard of an uncle who did something wrong for the sake of a child and was punished by his father, so he rushed to the door to ask for an explanation from the elders. None of the children have been punished? Are all the children of the Shen family raised like this? Or do you have no family law at all?"
"No one is stopping you from disciplining your daughter, but how can you, a parent, have no sense of restraint?" Of course, the clan elders were not dismissed so easily. One clan uncle came out and reprimanded, "It's you who is responsible for it, no matter what." Your biological daughter is still your first wife! Your wife died during the fall of the imperial capital, and your eldest daughter is gone too. You don’t miss her, but you miss her for more than ten years. Is this the result of such a ruthless and unjust sentiment? "
This was a very serious scolding, so when Shen Lianshi heard "the love of knotted hair", the muscles on his face twitched, and no one thought much about it.
Shen Lianshi laughed angrily in his heart, stroking his hands and saying, "If you elders are kind and righteous, why did you stop the army from setting off when my father, mother, uncle, and I were all in the imperial capital earlier? If not, why would my father, mother, and uncle be in the imperial capital earlier?" How could my uncle, my wife, my children, and several of my brothers die tragically at the hands of the soldiers? Do you have the nerve to question me now that our elders are gone?"
"What nonsense!" His sudden rupture caught the clan elders a little off guard - but these people had also experienced hardships, so they calmed down after a moment of panic and shouted angrily, "How could I do such a crazy thing? ? ! Wasn’t there a reason for blocking the army from setting off in the first place
"Yes, the so-called soldiers and horses went ahead with food and fodder, and the army was dispatched in a hurry. How can they be allowed to drink snow and eat all the way to support the imperial capital? If there were hundreds of people, that would be fine. At that time, the imperial capital was besieged by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. There were not even dozens of soldiers. Wan Dajun, what’s the point of leaving? Isn’t it for the safety of the old clan leader and others to prepare the army?”
"Lianshi, you have also been in the army, and you would actually say such ridiculous things! It's... it's really rotten wood that cannot be carved!"
Another person said, "Earlier, the feudal lord forced the army to set off, but what happened next? In the imperial capital, we were faced with the dilemma of insufficient food and grass! If we hadn't relied on the Wei family to purchase food and grass from the south, hundreds of thousands of troops would have had no food to eat. Once they mutinied, what would happen? It’s a small thing!”
"Back then, my sixteenth brother just said a few mature and prudent words and was killed by the clan leader..." Halfway through his words, several senior clan elders stopped him in unison: "The clan master is young and cares about the old clan leader. Lord and others, this close relative will inevitably be impulsive. We have agreed not to mention the matter of the sixteenth brother!"
The clan elder who had his words cut off was stepped on by the people next to him, but he also woke up - now they are all in Mingpei Hall! Shen Zangfeng was the master who killed his tribesmen just as slowly as he killed outsiders. Among the tribesmen who had stopped him from leading the army, no matter whether they were highly respected or eloquent, who among them was not killed by him with his own hands in front of the main hall one by one with a sword
Their faces are really torn here, maybe their old lives will be handed over here like that sixteenth brother...
Thinking of this, the elder of the clan felt a chill in his heart. Besides being jealous of Shen Zangfeng, he hated him even more: "Shen Zangfeng is so cruel and ruthless, and he doesn't care about his clan at all... My words today reached his ears. He didn't know yet. How to deal with me? You have to strike first and get the clan members to join forces to kill him first."
But Shen Xuan and others were besieged in the imperial capital, and the people's story of blocking the army from going to the rescue had finally been revealed. How easy was it to get back
Fortunately, Shen Lianshi didn't do anything to them. After another quarrel, he walked away!
The clan elders who were left behind secretly shouted that they were lucky, how could they dare to stay any longer? Mutter a few scene words, apply oil on the soles of your feet one by one, and hurry back... Don't walk too slowly, you may die.
When they left in a hurry, Shen Lianshi stood in front of the closed window, looking down at their backs from the deliberately left gap, with a gloomy look on his face: "Why don't you start? If it weren't for these people, how would our group have fallen?" To this point?”
Sitting cross-legged at the table behind him, Shen Zangfeng's eyes were cold and he said calmly: "Last time, in order to send troops, I personally killed my sixteenth uncle and others in public. Now they have no reason to kill, so they just do it like this. It is easy for the tribe to be afraid of our tribe, which is not good for us. "
"But since you asked me to break up with them today, no matter whether they are angry or afraid of us, they will not show mercy..." At this point, Shen Lianshi frowned and said, "You want to force them to take action?"
"Everything is just as it should be." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "The Central Plains has become king everywhere. The Su family has lost several battles in a row recently. It is obvious that the chaos has become a force. It is time for our family to be cleared."
Shen Lianshi was just dissatisfied with Shen Zangfeng for letting a group of clan elders come to ask questions today, but now he was a little worried: "But if you let them go like this, if they join forces..."
"We don't have a reason, do they?" Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said, "Our team is more legitimate than them, and with today's confrontation, they must be even more unable to sit still."
Shen Lianshi said: "Then what should we do next? In the army..."
"I have made arrangements in the army." Shen Zangfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Now it depends on the actions of the clan elders."
"That's good." Shen Lianshi nodded, thinking that was all the brothers had said.
But Shen Zangfeng said again: "Second brother, you should go back to the backyard and see Yan'er. After all, she is your only flesh and blood now."
Shen Lengshi frowned, but his brother looked at her without giving in. After a moment of stalemate, he said calmly: "I'm just going to take a look. If she falls asleep, I won't wait."
Shen Zangfeng sighed: "Why is this necessary? Children are innocent!"
... It was only after Shen Lianshi passed through the second gate that the entire backyard was alarmed.
When Wei Changying received the report that the Second Master had arrived later, and seemed to be heading to the Sixth Lady's yard where the Fourth Miss was staying - he immediately threw away everything he had said in the middle of the story and pushed forward: "Quick! Prepare the sedan chair!"
Not just her, Su Yuyin, Shen Zangning, and Shen Zangzhu who hugged and cried with Shen Shuxi last time to comfort each other, but didn't know about Shen Shuyan's accident until later, including Ji Chunmian - all after learning the news Drop everything immediately and go straight to the sixth room!
This shows the impression Shen Lianshi has left on everyone.
Everyone was worried that he was still angry and wanted to kill them all.
The sixth lady, Huo Qingling, and the eldest lady, Shen Shujing, were so frightened that they were afraid that Shen Shuyan would die. In their desperation, they sent people through the back door to look for help while closing the door tightly. Huo Qingling even asked someone to support him, and pantingly ordered all the furniture in the main hall to be moved out to block the door!
Because Shen Shuyan couldn't move easily now and couldn't move to the side to avoid it. She also asked all the servants in the yard to guard her outside her house, surrounding her on three levels inside and three levels outside, and ordered them to block the road at all costs. Shen Lianshi must not be allowed to enter the house...
Shen Lianshi didn't know that in the hearts of everyone in the backyard, he was even more ruthless than the Rong people and the Di people. Liufang was already guarding him as if he were a bandit and a foreigner.
He led a young boy and walked through the corridor to transfer the property with a heavy heart, walking towards the sixth room in a hurry.
Along the way, he couldn't help but think about the fight with his clan members to distract from the possible scenario of meeting his daughter.
But as they approached the sixth room, they saw someone seemed to be in the pavilion by the roadside. Because their brothers have not yet made their filial piety, the front and back yards are all plain at the moment. The same is true for the people in this pavilion.
Shen Lianshi just said that the servants were cleaning inside, and he was so preoccupied that he didn't care. But when he walked nearby, he noticed a gaze filled with hatred.
A person of his status, who has experienced life and death, is extremely sensitive to all malicious concerns.
His face suddenly darkened and he looked back sharply!
But he saw two female relatives in the pavilion, one big and one small. A woman in plain clothes was standing beside him, and a girl about the same age as Shen Shuyan was glaring at him fiercely!
Seeing that he noticed, the girl snorted softly and turned her head away.
But the woman didn't turn her eyes away, still looking at him indifferently. (To be continued)
