Mrs. Shen knelt on the ground, trembling, hating herself for what she had done just now. How could that person dare to talk nonsense?

Princess Qionghua said solemnly, "No need to be polite!"

Then he continued, "Mrs. Shen! You have the habit of calling a bitch as soon as you close your mouth. This is really wrong. I'll slap you fifty times on the face first, so that you can learn your lesson!"

Madam Shen quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, Princess! I will never dare to do it again!"

"Madame Wang! Slap her face!"

Then, the sound of clapping could be heard in the hall.

Soon, Mrs. Shen's cheeks were swollen from the beating, and thick blood began to flow from the corners of her mouth, along with saliva, flowing down the ground, staining it with blood.

Minister Shen glanced at it secretly for a few times, then turned his head away and stared at the ground fiercely without saying a word. It was unknown what he was secretly thinking about.

The young masters and young ladies of the Shen family all had gloomy faces. They looked at their mothers being slapped with heartache, revealing reluctance and heartache, and even deep hatred, which they dared not show easily.

After the slapping, Mrs. Shen's face no longer looked human. It was swollen like a pig's head and looked extremely ugly.

Lord Wang spoke at the right time: "I will arrange for someone to investigate this case as soon as possible. Once the facts are verified, I will report it to the heavens and give an explanation to the orphans of the heroic hero!"

He didn't want his government office to become a battlefield, where these two groups would fight and clash. If anything happened, he would be in big trouble, so he had better get rid of these two groups as soon as possible.

If Princess Qionghua was not satisfied with his handling of the matter and told the emperor, and if the news reached the ears of the royal nobles in the palace, his career would be over.

From the current perspective, if he is practical, the only way he can take is to seek justice for Mr. Shen.

The good days of the second branch of the Shen family are over.

Who made them so greedy? They took all the benefits and didn't even leave a way out for others. This backlash was enough to end Minister Shen's career.

As for the future, it is hard to say whether there will be any...

After leaving the Jingzhao government office, everyone stood at the door and said goodbye reluctantly.

Lian Yuyao held Su Ci's hand and refused to let go, "Princess! It's getting late! If we go back late, my mother will be worried!"

Helpless, Princess Qionghua was reluctantly taken away by Nanny Wang.

Su Ci looked at Shen Jun. "When you go back to the General's Mansion, the people from the Second House will definitely make things difficult for you. I just asked Lord Wang for two yamen runners to protect you. You have to be careful too, don't fall into their trap. You have to be careful that they might do something irrational when they are desperate."

Shen Jun nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will be careful!"

Before leaving, Su Ci stuffed another 1,000 taels of silver into her hand.

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Shen Jun cried even more uncontrollably.

It was almost evening when the four siblings returned home.

Hua Fuyin and Su Yulou were waiting there, extremely anxious.

When relatives meet, they naturally ask about each other's well-being.

Su Yulou looked at her second daughter who had grown into a graceful young lady. In just two or three months, her daughter had been completely transformed, especially her lively eyes, which showed wisdom and shrewdness.

After listening to his wife's account of what had happened at home during this period, he was stunned.

The difficulties that had surrounded the third room for many years and made them feel suffocated seemed to be solved in front of their daughter.

It's hard to believe that my daughter seems to be extremely well-off and wealthy now.

After dinner, the family talked about their longing for each other, and Su Ci took Banyue to see Yaoguang.

Her complexion has improved a lot, and her internal injuries have also improved a lot. She can now get out of bed and walk slowly. Everything is getting better.

Ying San was not as seriously injured as Yao Guang. He has recovered very well in the past few days. His injuries have been mostly healed and he can move around like a normal person.

Su Ci left a large cup of spiritual spring water for each of them, and also gave each of them some cakes bought at Qinglian Temple.

After coming out of the Yaoguang Room, Su Ci decided to go to Yulong Mountain in person, and Su Bai and Su Changqing also participated enthusiastically.

Soon, a carriage quietly drove out from the back door of the Su Mansion and drove into the dark night. Two horses followed on both sides of the carriage and galloped away.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of a farm.

Several people changed into black night clothes and sneaked into the yard.

The front yard was pitch black, with only a faint light.

Several people dressed as guards were eating and chatting around the table. They seemed to have drunk quite a bit of wine, and their tongues were a little stiff.

A sturdy man said, "That little beast, today I asked him to carry manure, but he actually spread it all over the ground and asked me to clean his butt. It's so disgusting! I got angry and kicked him several times, but he actually dared to lie on the ground pretending to be dead and didn't get up for a long time..."

"He didn't eat a single grain of rice yesterday. He was only given a bowl of water. Brother Wang, please don't kill him all of a sudden!"

"What's the big deal about killing him? The two young masters are hoping that he will die sooner! If he is alive, the two young masters will be extremely annoyed, and it may even hinder your future. It's better for him to die early, so as to avoid more suffering!"

"Brother Wang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but we should stay out of the masters' affairs. If someone were to investigate, we would be the ones who would suffer the most. If someone needs to die, it would definitely be us. Forgive others when you can! After all, he is the only son of the Third Master, and he is the legitimate bloodline of the General's Mansion..."

"Don't scare me! I'm not scared! For so many years, hasn't that kid suffered enough at our hands? Has anyone ever cared about him? Has anyone ever asked about him? There is only the second master left in the general's mansion. Even if he is the legitimate bloodline of the general's mansion, so what? Even if he is a dragon, he must be coiled for me! Here, we are the bosses and the ancestors! Who can do anything to me?..."

......

Su Ci became so angry after hearing this that her blood boiled.

He said to Ban Yue and his two brothers, "Take down these people first!"

Looking at the young man carried by An Shiwu, he was skinny as a stick, lying on his back, breathing shallowly and weakly, as if he would leave with the wind at any time.

Su Ci took out the spiritual spring water and gave him half a bowl of it first.

After a long while, the young man finally opened his weak eyes and looked at the person in front of him. His eyes were calm and lifeless.

Su Ci said softly: "Xiao Su Su, I am Shen Jun's friend. We are here to save you! You hold on, and you must live well!"

"Really? Are you here to save me?" the young man asked weakly, with endless hatred in his eyes.

"Yes! Now everyone in the entire courtyard has been arrested. Do you have any revenge to take? Sister will help you, okay?"

"Okay!" He raised his thin hand, looked at the people being escorted over, and pointed at the guard named Wang. "Sister, kill him first. Make sure he dies in pain!"

Pointing at the two guards, "And these two!"

Pointing at a fat nanny, "And her!"

"And that maid!"

He pointed out more than a dozen people in a row.

There were people kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear and kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Su Ci expressionlessly ordered her brother and the secret guards to drag all the people pointed out to the side and kill them immediately.

As for the three guards, a nanny and a maidservant that Shen Susu specifically mentioned, they all had their hands and feet cut off first. Then they thought their screams were too loud, so they cut off their tongues, and after a long while of pain, they were finally given a quick death.

Seeing the dozen or so people dying in agony, some people cried, some peed, and some fainted...

Their lives are now completely in the hands of others. If they want to survive, they can only beg for mercy and be obedient, hoping that the petite woman in front of them will let them go.

But they were all wrong.
