Was it she who poisoned him?

How did she get green silkworms?

What made Wang Bao even more frightened was yet to come. The sixteenth prince took advantage of Shen Lanxi's return home to launch a coup.

The sixteenth prince is only eleven years old!

……

Shen Lanxi suddenly appeared at the dinner table in the mansion, and the Shen family members remained silent when asked.

"There's nothing to do in the palace today. I thought that Fourth Aunt's birthday is in a few days, so I came back early to celebrate it!" Shen Lanxi said with a smile.

Everyone at the table looked at Tian, ​​who was also dumbfounded.

There are still more than two months until her birthday!

Tian forced a smile: "Lan Xi, you are so thoughtful."

Shen Lanxi said considerately: "I might be very busy later, so I'm sending my blessings here in advance!" A box of pearls as big as longan was delivered to Tian through Chunxue's hands.

Liu and Miao were furious. Lan Xi could not even remember to celebrate their birthdays. When did their relationship become so good?

They are watching us every day, how could they not know?

The more Shen Lanxi smiled, the more Shen Congwen looked at her smile, and the more his heart sank.

I always have a bad feeling.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even have to guess. The next sentence, Shen Lanxi's words, made the whole family change their expressions.

"My fourth aunt's brothers are doing very well recently!"

With a clang, the pearl in Tian's hand fell into the bowl, making a crisp sound.

Tian's face turned pale instantly.

Shen Congyi immediately frowned and looked at Tian: "What did your mother's family do?"

Tian's face was pale and cold sweat was pouring out of her body like crazy.

"No, no, I don't know. I really don't know! Lan Xi, I've been at home the whole time. I really don't know what happened in my mother's family."

Shen Lanxi slowly put away her smile and said, "Today I received a memorial filled with numerous charges against the Tian family. One of them said that the Tian clan relied on my power as the regent to bully men and women, oppress the people in the village, embezzle the property of merchants, and occupy the fields and manors of the people."

Tian was so frightened that she fell to the ground immediately.

"Lan Xi, this is none of my business, I really don't know anything about it!"

Shen Lanxi's dark eyes swept across Shen Congyi and then fell on Tian.

"Of course I believe Fourth Aunt, but I'm not sure whether the people in the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice believe it."

Shen Congyi said angrily: "Tian, ​​your Tian family has committed a crime, and we cannot let our children be implicated."

Tian's heart skipped a beat and her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

After a moment, she trembled and said, "I have severed ties with my family a long time ago, and everyone in my family knows it. What happened to the Tian family has nothing to do with me!"

Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth and looked at the other people at the table with a smile.

"Is that right?"

The severance of the engagement was indeed true. Not only Tian, ​​but also their respective families sent letters of severance of engagement after the incident with the Shen family.

"There is such a thing!"

"some!"

Including Old Madam Shen, several female members of the Shen family all spoke up to testify.

Shen Lanxi: "That's good. When I go to court tomorrow, I will ask the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to handle it impartially!"

Tian was helped up by her children, trembling. She looked dazed and had no idea how she finished her meal, let alone how she returned to her bedroom.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses after returning to the bedroom. She looked at the pearl box on the dressing table and threw it to the ground like a madman, followed by hysterical crying.

After she cried twice, Shen Congyi kicked the door in angrily.

Following him was a row of servants holding wooden planks and long spikes.

"Madam has fallen insane. From today on, Yilan Courtyard is sealed. No one can let her out without my order!"

"Yes!"

Tian had no time to vent her anger, and ran towards the door like crazy. Before she could touch the corner of Shen Congyi's clothes, she was pushed to the ground, and then the door slammed shut with a clang, and there were ding-dong knocks.

Tian sat on the ground dumbfounded, staring blankly in the direction of the door. Her fingers accidentally touched the pearls rolling on the ground.

Just explain why Shen Lanxi suddenly came to eat at home. It turned out that she wanted to kill her entire family.

A box of pearls bought out her life!

"Master, I'm not crazy..."

"Son, come and save me, I'm not crazy..."

The Shen family had an unforgettable dinner. After Shen Lanxi left, everyone suffered from indigestion and hurried back to their own yards.

The incident that happened to the fourth branch of the Shen family served as a warning to the other two branches.

"If your mother's family takes advantage of their power to bully others, I can't save you!" Shen Conglian said decisively.

Although Liu was not happy that Shen Conglian had left her so bluntly, she was also frightened by his behavior just now.

"I know, but my family wouldn't dare to do that."

Shen Conglian looked straight at Liu: "You know Lan Xi's personality better than I do. She is more cruel to her own people than to outsiders. The Tian family will definitely be executed!"

Liu's eyes rolled, and she said with a trembling mouth in fear, "I will send a letter to my parents tomorrow, asking them to behave themselves."

Shen Conglian stiffened his neck and said, "If anything happens to them, I won't plead for them. The same goes for you. If anything happens to you, I'll divorce you first!"

Liu became even more unhappy, but she did not dare to contradict Shen Conglian at this time.

"I know, sir!"

The same goes for the third room.

"Why not let your family go back to their hometown?" Shen Congli said after thinking it over again and again.

Miao refused to do it.

"My family is innocent and has done nothing wrong. Why are they leaving?"

Shen Congli sneered: "Don't you see? Lan Xi is openly punishing them for the crimes they committed, but in fact she is avenging the previous incident with the Shen family and your family sent a letter of severance of the relationship."

Miao couldn't believe it: "No way, it's been so long. When there was a wedding at home, Lan Xi also helped to entertain them. She wouldn't hold a grudge like that, right?"

Shen Congli sneered: "Who should I blame? It's your mother's family. If it weren't for our Shen family, they would still be farming in Jiangnan, how could they come to the capital and live a prosperous life now. They can have what they have now, all thanks to our Shen family."

"After the Shen family got into trouble, it's reasonable for them to be afraid of being implicated, but they didn't even send a little dry food or a piece of silver. They are so heartless!"

When Miao heard Shen Congli's order, her face turned pale with fright.

"According to you, Lan Xi did it on purpose?"

Shen Congli sneered and said, "What else? Why do you think my fourth brother, who is such a smart man, beat Tian into a mad woman and locked her up when something happened?"

After Miao figured it out, all the blood left her face.

"The fourth brother is just going with the flow. He has long wanted to avenge his estranged family."

Shen Congli said proudly: "What do you think? You should be secretly happy to have a husband like me."

Miao was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground and hugged Shen Congli's legs.

"Master, you can't learn from the fourth brother. I will go and sever ties with my mother's family tomorrow and take back the things I gave to them!"

In the middle of the night, the door of the Regent's Palace was suddenly smashed.

The Shen family was already sleeping uneasily, and they all woke up when they heard the knocking on the door.

Old Madam Shen suddenly woke up from her dream and shouted, "The confiscation of property is coming again..."
