A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

The servant Yuan Bao smiled bitterly, "I didn't know the master was in the west courtyard, and when I sent someone to report, the master overheard it."

Shen Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the car. I will leave the city too."

No one knows what happened today, but the carriage that Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu were riding in broke down on the roadside just after leaving the capital.

Jiang Qi stood by the car and pleaded guilty, "Please forgive me, Third Master. I will check it right away."

Shen Zhixiu helped Su Qingyu out of the car, and Shen Zhiheng also came to the car.

"The shaft of the carriage is loose. We should go back to the mansion and get another carriage. This will be the fastest way."

Shen Zhiheng used to work in the Ministry of Industry, so he knew what was going on at a glance.

Jiang Qi immediately said, "I will go back right away. Please wait for a moment, Master, Third Master, and Third Madam."

Shen Zhiheng nodded and motioned for him to go quickly.

With Su Qingyu around, it was not convenient for the three of them to ride in the same car, so they could only wait on the side of the road.

Jiang Qi rode on horseback with two guards towards the capital, but what Shen Zhiheng didn't notice was that at an intersection that no one could see, Jiang Qi turned in another direction.

After about an incense stick of time, Jiang Qi came back driving the carriage, accompanied by Shen Zhao who was riding a horse.

Shen Zhao got off his horse and bowed to his father, uncle and aunt, then said, "I heard that there is news from mother, I want to go with father and uncle to take a look."

Su Qingyu looked at Shen Zhao deeply. This matter was becoming more and more interesting.

What was Shen Zhao going to do? She was almost certain that it was Shen Zhao who led her and Shen Zhixiu to the manor.

Shen Zhao's hair was a little messy, and the jade hairpin on her head was crooked. There was also a part of the brocade belt around her waist that was slightly dented.

Although it didn't affect his appearance, it was obvious that he had decided to go with them on a whim. Was it because Shen Zhiheng had gone? Was he worried?

After that, Shen Zhao did not ride the horse again, but got on Shen Zhiheng's car.

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu also got on the new carriage, and the two carriages started moving again.

Jiang Qi deliberately increased the distance between the two carriages and made sure that Shen Zhiheng and his son could not hear him before reporting beside the carriage.

"Third Master, I have seen General Li. The eldest young master placed those things on the farm where the eldest lady lives. At this moment, many assassins are ambushed in the dark roof of the farm. They are all equipped with bows and arrows. The third master and his wife entered the yard and never returned."

Shen Zhixiu's face showed no emotion, even though he was almost killed by his nephew, he did not show any resentment.

In this life-and-death situation, family affection is no longer within his consideration.

"What did General Li say?" Shen Zhixiu asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Qi continued to report, "General Li said that his men have already hidden in a high point not far away. All the archers ambushing on the manor are within his range."

"Go in with peace of mind, Third Master. General Li is hiding in the dark and can see most of what's going on in the manor."

"He will take action before those people do."

Shen Zhixiu ordered Jiang Qi in a deep voice, "Find a way to tell General Li to kill all the others, but find a way to capture Shen Zhao alive."

"Don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary. I want to talk to my nephew."

Someone from his Shen family must take the blame for possessing firearms today, but it cannot be taken for nothing.

Now that Shen Zhao has been caught in the act, the crown prince's position as heir to the throne will be in jeopardy.

He was loyal to the emperor and treated all the princes equally. But since the crown prince could not tolerate him, he had no choice but to dethrone him.

What's wrong with the crown prince? There are not many crown princes in history who can ascend the throne smoothly.

After that, Shen Zhixiu pondered for a moment, and then said to Su Qingyu: "Don't go in, just stay next to Jiang Qi."

Su Qingyu shook her head. "Third Master, if something happens to you, do you think they will let me go?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "What if we let the loyal and brave king and my brother's people go there now? If we find the things right away, we can subdue those people."

Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said, "Those are all dead men. They won't identify anyone even if they are caught."

"The things were found in the Shen family's farm, so the Shen family can't escape responsibility."

"Paralyze Shen Zhao first, then some things can come to light." Shen Zhixiu's eyes were cold, with a huge fighting spirit rising in his eyes.

Uncle and nephew killing each other was not a situation he wanted to see. But since it had come to this, he wanted to fight, so he had no choice but to accompany him.

At this moment, in the carriage not far ahead, Shen Zhao was talking to Shen Zhiheng in a low voice.

"Father, when we get to the farm, just accompany mother and don't worry about anything else."

Shen Zhiheng was stunned, "What are you going to do?"

The people driving the carriage outside were all from the West Courtyard, and both the father and son deliberately lowered their voices.

The situation in the other courtyard was dangerous today, so Shen Zhao had to tell Shen Zhiheng the truth. He didn't go into detail, only saying that the prince couldn't tolerate his uncle anymore.

"Father, after today's matter is settled, your son will be able to support the Shen family one day."

Shen Zhiheng took two deep breaths, but still couldn't help but coughed twice.

He covered his mouth and nose with the handkerchief in his hand, then clenched it in his palm. The blood in the middle of the handkerchief was almost seeping out.

"Are you crazy? That's your third uncle, not an insignificant person."

"If the prince wants to take action, let him figure it out on his own. Why drag you into it?"

"Without your Third Uncle, do you think the Shen family is still the Shen family?"

A father knows best what kind of person his son is.

Even if Shen Zhixiu died, Shen Zhao would not be able to replace Shen Zhixiu.

Not to mention his status in the court, he was thankful that he could manage the Shen family's businesses.

People are not afraid of incompetence, but they are afraid of not recognizing their own abilities.

Shen Zhao knew that his father would have this reaction, but now that things had come to this, he had no way out.

And his father's last words made him feel particularly unconvinced. His third uncle had also gained experience bit by bit, so how could his father be so sure that he would never be able to catch up with his third uncle?

When the prince ascends the throne, he will also be a high-ranking official in one of the six ministries and nine government departments. How is he worse than his third uncle?

Shen Zhiheng just wanted him to change his ways, so he continued in a low voice: "You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible, otherwise I will take your uncle and aunt back with me when I get off the car."

Afterwards, Shen Zhiheng tried to persuade him earnestly for a long time.

Shen Zhao's expression gradually eased. "Father is right. It was my son who was confused. I know what to do. I'll go back home after visiting mother."

Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, Shen Zhiheng was willing to believe his son privately.

He nodded and said, "That's right. Your Third Uncle and I are brothers. We in the Shen family should be of the same blood."

Soon, two carriages stopped at the gate of the manor.

After a few people got off the carriage, Jiang Qi's men drove the carriage aside.

In order to ensure Shen Zhixiu's safety, Jiang Qi brought about twenty people with him.

When he wanted to bring people in, he was stopped by Shen Zhao.

"This is where my mother recuperates. It's not only against etiquette to have so many guards in, but it also disturbs my mother's peace."
