Chapter 92: The stepmother who became a marshal in the Republic of China (42)

That night, a low bell suddenly rang from the Shen Mansion. It was the sound of a death knell. The entire mansion fell into a dead silence, as if time had frozen.

The second wife and the fourth young master died on the same night.

Although the ways of death are different, it makes people unable to help but start conspiracy theories.

When the servants discovered the Second Wife, their bodies became erect. The Fourth Young Master was stabbed to death by a maid while they were having sex, and the maid eventually committed suicide.

Shen Yaoyuan was still waiting for rescue at the police station, but now that the second wife was dead, he had lost his most powerful backing. Although she had cultivated many confidants during her lifetime, at this critical moment, these people were powerless.

The power center of the Shen family has changed. It is no longer the Second Lady who has the final say. Those smart people have begun to look for new backers, hoping to get a share of the power struggle in the Shen family.

The seemingly peaceful surface of the Shen family was completely broken. Everyone had ulterior motives. Shen Lize seized the opportunity and actively won over the various managers of the Shen family's foreign business, trying to expand his sphere of influence.

Shen Lize took the opportunity to win over the people in charge of the Shen family's external business. The death of the second wife and Shen Yunsheng was really an unexpected surprise. Shen Yaoyuan was in jail, and the sixth child was still young and unable to shoulder the responsibility of the family; and the daughters of the Shen family had no right of inheritance, making Shen Lize the most competitive candidate.

He was in high spirits at this time.

The only one he was afraid of was his eldest brother Shen Qichuan. However, as the commander-in-chief, his eldest brother had no time and energy to manage the Shen family's business, so he would definitely be the only one to take over the Shen family's business in the end.

Shen Lize's eyes flickered. Perhaps he could talk to his eldest brother, give him some concessions, and let his eldest brother support him in becoming the head of the Shen family...

At three o'clock in the morning, the Shen family sent someone to the Marshal's Mansion to report the news. At this time, Shen Qichuan had just walked out of the dungeon, his body still exuding a strong bloody smell, and his eyes revealed a chilling murderous aura.

When he saw the housekeeper coming to report, his cold eyes glanced over like a sharp sword, instantly frightening the servants from the Shen family and making their legs go weak.

Shen Qichuan took the handkerchief handed to him by Adjutant Zhou and gently wiped the blood stains on his shoes. His voice was low and cold: "What did you say just now?"

The housekeeper's face was as pale as paper, his body trembling uncontrollably, and he answered tremblingly: "Replying to the Marshal, the Second Madam and the Fourth Young Master were found dead in their respective rooms last night. The mansion is in chaos, please return to the Shen Mansion to take charge of the situation..."

Shen Qichuan listened quietly to the housekeeper's report, a smile gradually emerged on his face, and his originally stern eyebrows became a little gentle, but his tone was full of sarcasm: "Oh, forget about presiding over the overall situation. Since the person is already dead, just clean up and carry him to bury him. After the Shen family selects a new head of the family, come to me for follow-up matters."

After saying this, he turned and left, leaving the housekeeper and other servants looking stunned.

Shen Lize's face was full of pride after receiving the news brought back by the housekeeper.

What the eldest brother means is that he doesn't want to get involved in the power struggle of the Shen family now. He will support whoever has the ability to become the head of the Shen family!

In that case, he felt relieved!

The next day.

At the funeral of the Second Wife and Shen Yunsheng, Shen Lize stood in front of the funeral hall, looking at everything in front of him, his heart was filled with joy. Thinking about the power and wealth he was about to get, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly rise, and he even laughed a little complacently.

The third concubine knelt on the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly, her voice shrill and miserable.

Originally, although her son had become a waste, he was at least still alive, which made her feel a little comforted and placed some hope on him. But now, her son died suddenly, and was tortured to death by a maid, with almost no good place on his body, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

The third concubine raised her head, and through her tearful eyes, she saw the obvious smile on Shen Lize's face.

The anger and hatred in her heart became stronger and stronger, and it was difficult to contain it. She felt that fate was unfair. Why did her son die after suffering such torture, while Shen Lize, a fool, could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor?

If Shen Lize became the head of the Shen family, she would have no way to survive!

The death of the fifth concubine was caused by her.

She silently reached out and touched the dagger hidden in her sleeve, tightly grasped the hilt, and felt the cold touch. Then, she took a deep breath and continued to throw paper money into the brazier.

Shen Lize was so proud of himself that he didn't notice the murderous intent in the third concubine's eyes.

The people who came to pay their respects did not show much sadness on their faces, and there was even no emotion at all.

After all, the dead were only the concubine and illegitimate son of the Shen family, not something that could be presented to the public. In addition, Marshal Shen had stated that he would not attend the memorial service, so they only attended for the sake of the Shen family's face.

There was a lot of discussion among those who attended the condolences. Yesterday, the G Province Daily newspaper published a lot of things about the Shen family.

There have been many accidents in the Shen Mansion recently.

The death of Mr. Shen was like opening Pandora's box. In less than a month, several masters of the Shen family died or were imprisoned.

Only Marshal Shen, who had left the Shen Mansion, had some happy events coming up recently. Many of them had had interactions with the owner of Hongchou, and they learned from him that Marshal Shen was deeply in love with that young lady, and it was very likely that they even had a child!

As everyone was talking, no one noticed that the Third Wife, who was kneeling on the ground, was unusual. She suddenly stood up and quietly walked behind Shen Lize while everyone was not paying attention.

Her eyes revealed determination and ferocity, and she raised the dagger and stabbed Shen Lize's back fiercely. The sharp blade pierced his skin instantly, and bright red blood gushed out quickly, staining his white shirt.

Shen Lize let out a shrill scream, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He turned his head with difficulty, staring at the third concubine with wide eyes in disbelief, his face full of astonishment and pain.

When the others heard the scream, they turned their heads and were stunned by what was happening before them.

"You...you..." Shen Lizhe covered his wound, slowly fell to the ground, his eyes gradually dimming.

At this moment, the third concubine seemed to have become a different person, laughing wildly. Her laughter was full of the pleasure of revenge, as if the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time had finally been released.

The third concubine pulled out the dagger, and blood gushed out, staining her mourning clothes and cheeks red. She looked chilling.

Then she raised the dagger high and stabbed it directly into her heart.

In just a few minutes, two more deaths were added to the Shen Mansion's mourning hall.

The people who came to pay their respects saw the shock in each other's eyes when they saw the sudden scene! Now it's good, there's no need to make two trips.

The housekeeper's face became even more bitter.
