"Back then, Prince Junlin rebelled, and the Shen family was implicated in Prince Junlin's case. It was I who ran in front of people to find a chance for the Shen family to avoid the death penalty of the Nine Clan."

"And your aunt the queen, she was originally an orphan girl from the side branch. It was I who brought her from a corner to the capital city and arranged for her to get acquainted with the new emperor, so that she has the status she has today."

"Now that my Shen family is in trouble, everyone is busy kicking the Shen family away. I can't wait to find someone who can replace me, Shen Zhengyi. Do I not know what Shen Baokun and the Queen are thinking?"

Shen Zheng was so angry that he smashed everything he could smash in front of him, but he still couldn't vent the anger in his heart.

He had been in the officialdom for twenty years before reaching his current position, but in the end he was making wedding clothes for others. He must have been extremely unwilling to do so.

And Shen Chengxiao had never seen Shen Zhengyi lose control of his emotions.

In his eyes, Shen Zhengyi is a person who is emotionally stable and rigorous in his work.

"Dad." Shen Chengxiao stepped forward to appease Shen Zhengyi: "The current situation is not good for the Shen family. Wang Dequan changed his confession at this time. I want to ask dad, what deal did you make with Wang Dequan to let Wang Dequan Accept all the responsibilities of Huaizhou Prefecture."

Shen Zhengyi, who was overwhelmed by anger, gradually came back to his senses.

He frowned deeply, and his expression changed as he remembered the deal he made with Wang Dequan.

"The King of Jin had used many cruel punishments on him before, but he never asked Wang Dequan to tell anything about his father. I heard that last night, Wang Dequan took the initiative to talk to the King of Jin about the Huaizhou Mansion case. Dad, the deal you made with Wang Dequan was Isn't it related to Wang Yujiao? Wang Dequan met Wang Yujiao before he changed his confession."

Shen Zhengyi's face darkened.

In the past two days, due to Jing Miaoyi's quarrel with him, the situation in the DPRK and China changed greatly, and he was unable to receive the outside crisis in time.

Shen Zhengyi gradually calmed down, held the injured hand tightly, and said: "Wang Dequan wants me to... marry Wang Yujiao as my wife."

Shen Chengxiao's face darkened.

"As a common wife, I will carry a sedan chair to marry her into the Shen Mansion. I..." Shen Zheng paused for a moment: "I told Wang Yujiao that her brother had committed a crime and asked someone to place her in Yongjiangzhuang. "

"I originally wanted to send Wang Yujiao away after Wang Dequan was beheaded. I also wanted to live a good life with your mother. Xiao'er, you have to believe in dad."

Shen Zhengyi enjoyed a harmonious and happy family life, and did not want to disturb the family because of Wang Yujiao, who knew that things would not go as expected.

"What happened to that letter?"

Shen Zhengyi took a deep breath, then managed to suppress the resentment in his heart, and said: "When I met your mother at Jing's house, I mistook her for Wang Yujiao. Moreover, your mother was also willing to marry me at that time, so I will marry her to someone else." She came up with a plan to let her fall into the water, and I went into the water to save her, which led to today's marriage. That letter..."

He gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger: "It was a letter she wrote to Duke Zhen before she married me, but I have already burned it."

"No wonder." Shen Chengxiao understood clearly.

No wonder his mother had such a quarrel with his father.

It turns out that I got the wrong person from the beginning.

Mother loves father so much, how can she tolerate her marriage coming about like this?

Although this was not the result that Shen Chengxiao wanted to hear, he had to accept this cruel fact.

He clutched his chest, slowly stood up from the chair, and said, "Dad, choose a good day to marry Wang Yujiao."

Shen Zhengyi's expression paused, and he raised his head to look at his eldest son.

The eldest son added: "Compared to the Shen family being raided by everyone, marrying Wang Yujiao is nothing. Dad, have a good rest. I will personally go to Mom and tell her. If Mom doesn't think about herself, she should also think about the Jing family."

Over the years, the Jing family has long declined. It was only thanks to Shen Zhengyi's management that the descendants of the Jing family had some way out.

Shen Chengxiao knew that he was sorry for his mother by doing this, but when the Shen family's life and death were at stake, she could not let her go any further.

"Young Master." After walking out of Yuqingyuan, Shen Xing, the bodyguard of Shen Mansion, hurried over.

Shen Chengxiao stopped, covered his chest and coughed violently several times, and asked, "The master of the house is recuperating. Please report to me if anything happens outside in the future."

"Yes, eldest son, the Xie family has been released from prison. His Royal Highness went to Dali Temple with the imperial edict to release the Xie family. My subordinates also found out that the prince tried his best to join the Xie family to protect the Duke's mansion."

"The prince's gang members in the court spoke out with the prince, asking the emperor to let the Xie family go home first. The prince even spoke for the Jiang family."

When Shen Chengxiao heard these words, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly clutched his chest, gripped the armrest next to him, and took a deep breath.

The prince speaks for the Jiang and Xie families. What does this mean?

Shen Chengxiao closed his eyes deeply and thought carefully.

It seems that there is an expert planning the future for the prince. Does the prince want to... take advantage of the Xie family's influence or does he want to win Jiang Lin's heart and use it for him in the future?

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Shen Chengxiao suddenly opened his eyes and said to Manager Nie behind him: "Go to Zuilian Residence to find the second young lady, and tell the second young lady that the prince went to Dali Temple to see Shen Wan."

Doesn't the prince like Lian'er very much?

He couldn't let the prince abandon Shen Mansion.

Next, it’s up to Lian Er.

……

Dali Temple!

"Mrs. Xie, the Queen knows that you have been wronged these days, so she specially asked His Highness the Crown Prince to bring you a gift. You can go with our family to His Highness the Crown Prince to get the Queen's gift."

Shen Wan and Xie Yujin walked out of the iron gate of Dali Temple together.

Li Changfu, the chamberlain beside the prince, was waiting outside the door and said with respect.

Shen Wan looked at the man standing on the lake shore.

Today he was wearing an off-white round-collar brocade robe, with his hands behind his back and looking at the lake.

Xie Yujin's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head and said to Shen Wan, "I'll get in the carriage and wait for you."

"Okay." Shen Wan responded and followed Li Changfu to see the prince.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Wan walked behind Mo Junli and saluted Mo Junli.

Mo Junli turned around and his eyes fell on Shen Wan.

This was the first time the two of them met after the Queen Mother's birthday.

It should be said that this was the first time that Shen Wan and him had met since their relationship broke up six years ago.

Mo Junli raised his hand and waved, telling Li Changfu to retreat. Li Changfu took the whisk and retreated ten meters away.

Mo Junli's eyes were eager and he unconsciously took a step forward towards Shen Wan.

Shen Wan subconsciously took a step back, looked up at him, and asked: "Your Highness, Eunuch Li said that the queen's aunt has a reward for my wife, and she is here to receive the reward."

Mo Junli's expression froze: "Shen Wan, do you have any conscience? You were bitten by a dog, but you are thinking about the reward your mother gave you. You..."

When he saw Shen Xunzhi walking out of Dali Temple, he suddenly remembered what Queen Shen had told him and what Shen Xunzhi had analyzed for him.

He now needs to win over the Xie family instead of getting rid of the Xie family. He can no longer talk to Shen Wan like before.

He wanted to stabilize Shen Wan's heart, coax her, and let Shen Wan persuade Xie's family to join him and help him fight against the Jin King's party.

He frowned deeply and finally took back what he said. He took out a brocade box from under his sleeve and handed it to Shen Wan: "This is a gift from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself." I'm sorry to say goodbye, I hope he can return to the Imperial City Division one day."

"Do you understand?"

Shen Wan squeezed the brocade box tightly, nodded and said, "Understood."

Seeing how she had no desire for him, Mo Junli felt inexplicably irritated: "Shen Wan, between us..."

"I know, I don't dare to long for His Highness the Crown Prince anymore. Whatever His Highness the Crown Prince tells me, I will do my best. Don't worry, I will use what I have learned throughout my life to condition Xie Yujin's body, hoping that one day he can help His Highness the Crown Prince." A helping hand.”

"you……"

He was about to say something else when he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing under the willow tree opposite.

His slightly parted lips paused, and then he called to the figure under the willow tree: "Lian'er."

Shen Lian turned away, turned around and climbed into the carriage, with tears in her eyes when she left...

"Lian'er, Lian'er..."
