Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Old Madam Shen glanced at Wei Dongzhu who was standing next to Shen Lanxi. Seeing that her second son and his family were still making a fuss, she immediately asked them to stop with a sullen face.

"Family disgrace should not be made public. You have completely disgraced the Shen family."

When Old Madam Shen stopped yelling, her face was already livid.

"Mother, please calm down. Sister-in-law, quickly have someone lock Wu up in the room. After the family dinner is over, we can discuss whether Wu should stay or go among ourselves." Shen Congwen deliberately emphasized the word "own family".

Even though Old Madam Shen was in a bad mood, she had to put on a brave face for outsiders.

Lan Xi is really something. Why did she bring outsiders to their family dinner today?

Could it be that she and Wei Dongzhu had something going on?

Old Madam Shen glanced at the two again, her heart sinking. His Majesty's meaning was already very clear. What would His Majesty think of Lan Xi openly bringing a man from outside the family in and out of the Shen residence?

Shen Yuanxu tugged at his mother's sleeve, signaling her to go and deal with Wu.

Liu was so frightened by her son's roar that she dared not say anything else and hurried to make arrangements.

When they sat down, Wei Dongzhu was arranged to sit on one side by Shen Lanxi. This move made the following family dinner extremely silent.

Shen Congwen wanted to explode several times, but due to various reasons, he did not do so.

The family dinner ended in a hurry, and the younger generations quickly found various excuses to leave.

"Lan Xi, my family wants to discuss whether Wu should stay or go, so you should stay and listen!" Old Madam Shen said with a stern face.

Shen Lanxi just stood up: "Grandma, you are all elders, it is not appropriate for a junior like me to stay here, right?"

Madam Shen: "Yuan Xu is here too, we are all family."

Shen Lanxi understood that Wei Dongzhu was the only one who was not a family member here, and the old man wanted Wei Dongzhu to leave.

"They are all my personal guards, like my left and right arms. If there is anything going on at home, they can also listen to it!" Shen Lanxi said calmly.

A smile flashed across Wei Dongzhu's eyes. He had been thinking of leaving, but since she asked him to stay, he decided to stay.

They all came all the way from Dongchuan, and the Shen family members kept looking at Shen Lanxi and Wei Dongzhu.

If Lan Xi had not had an engagement with the royal family, the two of them would be considered a perfect match.

It’s difficult nowadays!

"Lan Xi, since you have entered the court, you should know that every step in the court is like walking on thin ice. You must be careful in your words and actions!" Shen Congwen has been thinking a lot recently, and he said these words intentionally to ease the relationship with his daughter.

After all, you can't write two "Shen" characters with one stroke. If anything happens to any member of the Shen family, the entire Shen family will be implicated.

"Dad, I understand everything!" Shen Lanxi looked at her family calmly.

"Grandma, I know my limits!"

Old Madam Shen was already full of worries at this time. She really didn't want to repeat Dongchuan's mistakes. She would be cruel to anyone who endangered their Shen family, no matter who it was.

"Lan Xi, family disgrace should not be made public. Only our family members can stay here, and everyone else should leave!"

Wei Dongzhu's mouth froze.

Shen Lanxi refused to give in: "Lanxi is still young. The elders are discussing important family matters here. It is not the place for the younger generation to get involved. I will take everyone away now!"

Old Madam Shen was furious. This rude girl was so rude. She was already giving her face by letting her stay, but she didn't know what was good for her. She thought the wicked girl had changed her temper, but she was still wild and unruly.

"Stop, Shen Lanxi, how can you talk to your grandmother like that? You should really let His Majesty see what kind of person you are when you are at home." Shen Congwen said without any face.

Shen Conglian frowned immediately: "Brother, now is not the time to talk about this." General Wei is still here. If there is a quarrel at home, how will his subordinates think of him when he returns to the army?

Shen Lanxi's heart was already cold.

"Father, instead of worrying about other things, you should worry about our Shen family and yourself."

Old Madam Shen's eyes flashed, and she slowly sat down on the chair.

"I have been investigating the Wei family army's food and salary case in the northwest, and it is not without any results. According to what I have learned, two groups of people went to the silver vault to collect food and salary, and the documents they took had my father's handwritten signature on them."

After Shen Lanxi finished speaking, Wei Dongzhu took out the document that he had kept close to him.

Everyone in the Shen family looked at Shen Congwen. The man who had just been so determined to punish the evil girl was now frantically picking up the document to check it.

The familiar handwriting on the document made Shen Congwen flustered, and in the blink of an eye his forehead was covered with sweat.

"This... this is indeed my handwriting." Shen Congwen said tremblingly.

Shen Lanxi: "I think my father must have noticed something is wrong."

Although Shen Congwen did not achieve much in these years, he was good at being meticulous in his work. Every time he was asked to sign a document, he would read it one by one, and would only sign after reading it repeatedly several times.

The time was wrong, and he noticed it the first time he looked at it. If it was usual, he would definitely not be so impressed, but since His Majesty opened the golden mouth to re-examine the Wei Jiajun case, he, as the direct victim of the case, also went to see it several times.

The above time had already been imprinted in his mind.

"A piece of document alone can't prove anything." Shen Congwen felt more panicked than ever before.

Shen Lanxi said coldly: "If this document is handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, I'm sure they will have plenty of means to prove it!"

Shen Congwen's body trembled, and no one who entered these two places came out standing.

"I am innocent. This signature was not mine. I have never put my pen on this document."

Shen Lanxi looked at the man who was anxious to explain with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Father, do you have any evidence to prove that the signature on it is not yours?"

Shen Congwen was panicking. He was even more panicked than when he was exiled to Dongchuan. Last time he was exiled, he was innocent and had no evidence. Even if he was framed, his pride could support him to stand.

It’s different now. Where on earth did this document come from?

"Lan Xi, you have to believe your father. The signature and seal above are definitely not yours. I swear to heaven that if the signature and seal above are mine, I will die a miserable death!"

Old Madam Shen stared at her eldest son and clenched her hands tightly.

"Brother, what's going on?"

"Lan Xi, our family has definitely been wronged. You must not hand over this document." Others also heard that there was something wrong with the document. Since this concerned their lives and property, who would care about that Wu?

Wei Dongzhu tried to take the document from Shen Congwen's hand. The first time he tried, Shen Congwen held it too tightly. The second time, Shen Congwen let go.

Shen Congwen suddenly felt a little afraid of Wei Dongzhu.

"General Wei, it really wasn't written by me. The one I wrote is now kept in the Dali Temple. I've seen it before." Shen Congwen no longer hid his guilt and hurriedly excused himself.

Shen Congli whispered, "Brother, don't you not support Lan Xi's re-investigation of the Wei Jiajun case?"

Old Madam Shen and Shen Congwen, mother and son, immediately glared at him and asked, "Is this the time to talk about this?"
