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

The 400,000 heroic souls of the Wei family army were enough for Wei Dongzhu to go crazy and massacre their family without any regard for the consequences.

"Lan Xi, you must believe in your father!" Shen Congwen said, and then hurriedly pleaded with Wei Dongzhu.

"General Wei, the time on this document is different from the time I signed it. I swear, I really did not sign this document."

Wei Dongzhu looked calm and composed, and naturally believed what Shen Congwen said in his heart.

Because she had prepared this document in advance and put it here with him. She had a skilled craftsman make the seal in front of him, and had students from Qinglan Academy copy the handwriting and sign it after repeatedly copying it. She also had someone find the paper for this document in front of him.

At first he didn't understand the purpose of making a false document. Could it be to prove her father's guilt?

If that's true, it's unbelievable.

Now, he finally understood. He had to admit that she was prescient.

All the people in the Shen family who have the final say are now looking at Shen Lanxi eagerly. She easily controls the Shen family.

Wei Dongzhu's eyes were filled with smiles.

Shen Lanxi: "Of course I believe in my father."

Old Madam Shen: "Quick, quick, quickly move a chair for Lan Xi to sit down and talk!"

Wei Dongzhu: "..."

Shen Lanxi sat steadily on the chair her father brought and said calmly, "This must be an attempt to harm our Shen family's enemy and frame our Shen family."

The Shen family members nodded one by one and listened to Shen Lanxi attentively.

"But this document is important evidence in the Wei Jiajun case, and I can't make the decision."

Shen Congwen quickly asked Wei Dongzhu to sit down.

"General Wei, please sit down and talk. Hurry up and sit down and talk."

Wei Dongzhu looked at the teacup that Father Shen placed in front of him, and deliberately said in a cold voice: "The 400,000 heroes of the Wei family army must not die in vain. I know that the Shen family is innocent, but the world does not know. I guess Lord Shen has not had an easy time in the Ministry of Revenue in the past few years!"

Shen Congwen sighed deeply: "Although I am the head of the Ministry of Revenue in name, it is just an empty title."

Old Madam Shen also began to complain: "The Wei family army is very righteous and is willing to trust our Shen family, but others don't think so. Let's not talk about anything else. For example, the younger generations in our family have all reached the age of marriage, but no male has come to propose marriage. Although the girls in our family occasionally have someone propose marriage, they are all from inferior families. They openly and secretly ask our family to give more dowry, and seeing that the girls are about to miss their blooming season, I, as a grandmother, am so worried that I can't sleep well every day."

The other members of the Shen family sighed along with him.

Shen Lanxi: "It is because I know that the Shen family was wronged that I am investigating."

Madam Shen took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Lan Xi, I knew you were a good person."

Shen Lanxi: "The Wu issue should be resolved as soon as possible. As for the marriage of the sons and daughters in the family, I will find a way."

Everyone in the Shen family opened their mouths to express their gratitude.

"Lan Xi, you are thoughtful."

"Lan Xi, thanks to you."

"Don't worry, Lan Xi. Our family will definitely deal with Wu properly and will never leave any evidence against others."

Wei Dongzhu reminded softly: "General, there are still things to deal with in the army."

Madam Shen: "Military affairs are more important than family affairs, Lan Xi, you should get busy!"

Shen Lanxi stood up: "Wu Shi, I'll trouble you, Grandmother."

After everyone in the Shen family saw Shen Lanxi off, they immediately surrounded Shen Congwen and asked him about the signature.

The next day, an invitation came from the Queen's Palace, inviting the Shen family to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet three days later.

This was the first flower-viewing banquet held by the royal family in six years, and also the first informal banquet held in the capital.

Previously, there was unrest in Dongchuan in the northwest, and the Great Zhou was in turmoil. The imperial palace was frugal in all expenses, and no banquets were held in the palace. Then, among the officials and common people, who dared to be extravagant?

This Hundred Flowers Banquet was the first happy event for all the major shops in the capital, and they all brought out their best goods.

The capital city was depressed before and no one dared to wear brightly colored clothes. Cloth shops had a lot of brightly colored fabrics piled up, and they took this opportunity to move them all out and sell them.

Silver shops, gold shops, and rouge shops were making every effort to take advantage of the east wind.

Old Madam Shen took the women in her family out to shop early in the morning, under the pretext of attending a banquet in the palace, and acted in a very stylish manner.

The men and women in the family were dressed up and taken out to show off.

Shen Lanxi sat on the second floor of the restaurant, looking sideways at the Shen family outside the window.

"General, His Majesty has sent an imperial decree to Dongchuan to summon Zhou Ruyuan back to Beijing!" After Chunxue finished reading the note, he destroyed it.

She had received an urgent report from Dongchuan a few days ago, and thought that it was time for Zhou Ruyuan to return to Beijing.

"Send an urgent letter to Northwest China. Zhou Ruyuan is back in Beijing. Zhou Ruan must be worried staying in Northwest China."

Haruyuki: “Yes!”

A day later, Shen Lanxi received news that the Shen family had sent Wu to a villa outside Beijing, and Zhou Xinrou had returned with her children.

When she saw her mother again, Shen Lanxi was a little reluctant to recognize her.

When she was in Dongchuan, her mother was always ill. After returning to Beijing, she went to the royal temple to recuperate. After careful calculation, she only saw her mother a few times in these six years.

The last time they met was in Dongchuan. My mother’s injuries had not healed for a long time and she didn’t see outsiders. She only saw a silhouette through the crack in the door.

This time, my mother had changed significantly. She was in better health and was wearing a princess's crown and robes, which made her look very majestic.

"Mother."

Zhou Xinrou glanced at her daughter calmly and then looked away.

"Tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Banquet, make sure you are ready!"

Shen Lanxi lowered her eyes, and no one could see the emotion in her eyes.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, mother."

Zhou Xinrou turned around and went into the house.

Shen Lanxi looked at her mother's back as she walked further and further away, and remained silent for a long time.

On the night before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Ban Sicao skillfully poured the tea from the teacup into the flowerpot in the corner.

"Is this never going to end? This is the nth time you've been fed poisoned tea since we returned to Beijing. Why bother with it when you know you can't defeat us?" Ban Sicao threw the teacup out of the window in disgust.

"Is it poisonous again?" Shen Lanxi asked with a smile.

Ban Sicao said unhappily, "Your Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has been filled with traps by outsiders."

Shen Lanxi: "I cleaned up a wave when I just returned to Beijing. Three died yesterday and four died today. If this gets out, people will think that my mansion is a den of tigers and wolves."

Ban Sicao: "It's either a den of tigers or wolves, or a den of rats. Other people's homes use poison to kill rats, but not as many as yours!"

Shen Lanxi: "Some people spent a lot of money to kill me. After giving me the drug, they took the poison and committed suicide. We couldn't find any trace of them."

Ban Sicao was worried about Shen Lanxi.

"Who is he? What deep hatred do they have against you? You won't be satisfied unless you are killed, right?"

Shen Lanxi tapped the table with her fingers.

"Although I don't know who it is, one thing is certain: the person who wants to kill me is in the capital."
