Whether it was Yang Zhaodi or Zhang Xiaocui, they all stared with wide eyes and said hatefully,

"Fourth brother, we must not leave this woman Wu Xiuyun here, and we can't let the Wu family go either. You know, she is a juren. Dad dreamed that our Shen family could change its status, but it was ruined by the Wu family and Wu Xiuyun."

Shen Congbao, Shen Congjia, and Shen Congwei stared at their youngest brother Shen Congguo with complicated expressions. They really did not expect such a drama to happen.

They could clearly feel Shen Congguo's pain, disbelief, and regret.

But he also agreed with what his mother and his wife said.

Wu Xiuyun really couldn't stay in the Shen family anymore. She didn't deserve it. Neither did the Wu family. The three brothers clenched their fists.

One day they will teach the Wu family a profound lesson and make them regret robbing Shen Congguo of their life-saving grace.

Shen Congguo nodded with a hoarse voice.

"Mom, I know what to do. Don't worry, I will make Wu Chengcai pay the price."

Shen Li looked at Shen Congguo with concern, fearing that he might do something bad by accident.

What Wu Xiuyun said was right. If her brother passed the imperial examination and became a juren, he would be a well-known juren in the area within a hundred miles and would bring honor to the entire county.

The Shen family just makes a living from the land and are not worthy of being a juren.

Shen Li only hoped that the Wu family would show a little remorse and take out 3000 taels of silver to buy out Wu Chengcai's place in the academy, the title of scholar, and the title of juren.

Money can never compare to power.

Shen Li also understood this truth, but after so many years, even if the old patriarch of the Chen family still remembered the young man who saved him, would the old patriarch of the Chen family still be around? Would his descendants still make decisions for Shen Congguo?

Shen Li had many concerns in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud, as it would make her family worry. She could only solemnly instruct,

"Congguo, you will come back after you get the silver, understand?"

Shen Zhao was worried that Shen Congguo would encounter revenge from the Wu family and people with bad intentions on the way after getting the large sum of money.

He suggested, "Uncle, ask the Wu family to come back with you. If they can't come up with three thousand taels, ask them to write an IOU and instructions. Remember to sign Wu Chengcai's name on them."

Shen Zhao is trying to prevent the Wu family from becoming desperate and signing Wu Chengcai's name. He is going to take the imperial examination and must protect his reputation, so no matter how unwilling they are, they will honestly write the IOU and escort Shen Congguo home.

But if Wu Chengcai really became a juren.

He was angry about what the Shen family did today, and there was a high possibility that he would take revenge on the Shen family.

If Shen Zhao were left to decide, he would secretly cripple Wu Chengcai's hands.

Without hands, what would Wu Chengcai use to take the imperial examination?

Since he couldn't pass the imperial examination, he naturally had no ability to take revenge on the Shen family.

However, the four sons of the Shen family did not look like people who could do such a thing, so Shen Zhao did not say it clearly.

Besides, there is an outsider, Wu Xiuyun, here. If he leaks the information, then what is the point of this plan?

Shen Zhao thought of another scholar named Shen Wenhu in the Shen family.

Decided to discuss it with Shen Wenhu in the evening and let Shen Wenhu make the final decision.

Shen Zhao will no longer live in the Shen family, so he cannot make decisions for them directly.

As for the gossip about Lin Shu, the second daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and Wu Xiuyun, the fourth daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

Why did Shen Zhao want to expose the information?

Shen Zhao has always been a selfish person. Lin Shu and Wu Xiuyun have both offended Shen Zhao, and Shen Zhao has the evidence against them, so he will naturally reveal it.

Besides, would the Shen family be willing to be kept in the dark like this?

It was not until decades later that Shen Congjia and Shen Congguo, one of whom was unaware that his partner had been having an affair with his cousin for decades, and the other was unaware that his wife's younger brother had snatched away his life-saving grace and passed the imperial examination to become a high-ranking official.

If Shen Li could hear Shen Zhao's inner voice, she would only agree with Shen Zhao. Shen Li also didn't want her two sons to be kept in the dark by his wife to this extent.

At least live clearly.

Soon Shen Congguo went into the room, wrote a divorce letter and threw it to Wu Xiuyun.

He grabbed the struggling Wu Xiuyun and prevented her from escaping.

The two of them left the Shen family's yard and returned again, going to the place they had just left in the morning.

But, the mood of coming back and leaving is completely different.

Shen Li looked towards the distance worriedly.

Shen Congbao stepped forward and consoled him,

"Mom, don't worry, Congguo is the smartest among us. Even if he is very stimulated today, when he arrives at the Wu family, his inherent restraint will allow him to make a sober decision quickly."

Shen Li nodded.

Having said that, a mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Not to mention that it was a secret that had been kept secret for so many years.

Shen Li sighed and returned to the main room accompanied by Shen Congbao.

The Shen family soon returned to peace.

Shen Zhao, who had already returned to the room, thought about the plot of the original book and the fate of the Shen family.

Shen Congjia never discovered Lin Shu's affair. Under Lin Shu's instigation, he gradually drifted away from Li Jinfeng. Finally, in anger, he severed his mother-son relationship with Li Jinfeng and followed Lin Shu to marry into the Lin family.

At that time, Lin's other sons had died for various reasons.

Lin Shu became the last descendant of the Lin family, so this is why Lin Shu tried his best to make the Shen Cong family sever their relationship with the Shen family.

Lin Shu's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, privately revealed to Lin Shu that as long as Lin Shu returned home, he could become the new Mr. Lin.

Lin Shu had never dared to think about the Lin family's shops before, as married women did not receive any share of their parents' property.

This moment is on the mind of every married woman.

But what surprised Lin Shu was that, due to fate, she finally got a big bargain and became the shopkeeper of Lin.

Shen Cong's ending after marrying into the family was not happy.

Lin Shu had more time to meet his cousin at the Lin family.

The two discussed and finally poisoned Shen Congjia directly, causing him to die suddenly from the poisoning.

Poor Shen Congjia finally opened his eyes wide, blood flowing out of his mouth.

He looked in astonishment at the person who had been with him for 30 years, not understanding what had happened.

It was not until he saw a man holding Lin Shu's waist that Shen Congjia let out an angry roar and shed tears of pain. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Lin Shu merged several shops of the Lin family with her cousin's business and returned to being a housewife who took care of her husband and children at home.

The fourth branch of the Shen family. Wu Xiuyun's heart has always been with her mother's family, the Wu family. Shen Congguo, who is in love, completely turned his heart to Wu Xiuyun after Wu Xiuyun gave birth to two sons for him.

Wu Xiuyun complained to him that Shen Li often scolded her behind her back and made her do housework all day long.

Shen Congguo was blinded by love and followed his second brother's footsteps, severed ties with the Shen family and married into the Wu family.

However, Shen Congguo lived a dependent life in the Wu family.

If you eat one more bowl of rice, you will be criticized by everyone in the Wu family.

If you spend an extra penny, you will be slapped in the face by the Wu family, but Wu Xiuyun always tells Shen Congguo to be patient.

Shen Congguo didn't know whether he was a coward or resigned to his fate, and he lived his life like this.

Shen Zhao has now revealed the true colors of Lin Shu and Wu Xiuyun. Although we don't know what the fate of Shen Congbao and Shen Congguo will be in the future, it should at least be better than the original book.

In the evening, Shen Wenhu returned from his classmate's home in the next village. The two of them stayed together and discussed the exam questions of previous years, each expressing his or her thoughts.

The sparks created by the collision of ideas made Shen Wenhu suddenly enlightened.

Shen Wenhu shamelessly stayed at his classmate's house for lunch.

It was not until the evening that Shen Wenhu returned to the Shen family in a ox cart.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Wenxia pulled Shen Wenhu to the corner of the yard and told him everything that had happened that day, emphasizing his own sighs and resentment.

When Shen Wenhu heard this, he also found it incredible.

There is a possibility that my fourth uncle will pass the imperial examination.

As a result, he was badly harmed by the Wu family.

Shen Wenhu did not focus too much on the missed opportunity to study at Wenshu Academy, or the titles of scholar and juren. After all, what was supposed to happen had already happened.

Shen Wenhu was thinking more about, if the Shen family really took the 3,000 taels of silver from the Wu family, and Wu Chengcai passed the imperial examination and retaliated against the Shen family, how should Shen Wenhu protect the Shen family?
