Shen Changze stared at Jiang Shu fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Don't go too far."
"If Lord Marquis thinks it's too much, there's no need to force it." Jiang Shu was calm and composed, not afraid at all, and never backed down.
Shen Changze had never seen such a tough Jiang Shu and was a little shocked.
After a moment of stalemate and seeing that Jiang Shu had no intention of giving in, Shen Changze compromised: "I can give you He Lishu first, but Snowball is just a dog and doesn't understand anything. Can you let him go?"
Jiang Shu sneered: "I didn't ask Shen Qingrong to pay for it with his life, that's obvious."
Although Snowball was not the culprit, it was a fact that he was not innocent.
As for Shen Qingrong, Jiang Shu knew that asking her to pay for a rabbit with her life was an impossible delusion, so she gave Shen Qingrong another lesson.
"Does the Marquis still need to think about whether a dog is more important than a dog or the eldest son of the Hou family?" Jiang Shu sneered coldly.
Shen Changze looked at Jiang Shu with a deep look, turned around and left.
When Shen's mother learned that Jiang Shu wanted Xueqiu's life, she hugged Xueqiu and refused to let go.
Snowball is indeed just a dog, but he has been with Shen's mother for many years. To Shen's mother, he is like a child and a relative, and it is difficult to let go.
"Mother, this is the only chance to save Yan Yang." Shen Changze persuaded with a frown.
Mother Shen's eyes turned red and she said angrily: "Why does she insist on taking Xueqiu's life? Even if Snowqiu dies, her rabbit won't survive."
Shen Changze remained silent.
Originally, he didn't understand why Jiang Shu insisted on Xueqiu's life, but after seeing Shen's mother protecting Xueqiu with great reluctance, he understood.
Because I understand, I know there is no room for negotiation on this matter.
Snowball must die.
"Jinchu was injured and may not be able to conceive again. Yan Yang is the only legitimate son in the Hou family." Shen Changze moved him to explain with affection.
After hearing this, Mother Shen finally let go of Xueqiu, stroked Xueqiu's hair and said, "Let it die more happily and with less pain."
Xueqiu didn't understand anything, so he stretched out his tongue and licked Mother Shen's hand happily.
Mother Shen choked with tears and took one last look at Xueqiu before entering the house and closing the door.
Xueqiu wanted to catch up and dig at the door, but was killed by Shen Changze with a palm.
Death is instantaneous and painless.
Shen Changze stepped forward, picked up Xueqiu's body and went to Tingzhulou.
Jiang Shu had changed her clothes and made up, and was waiting patiently while drinking tea.
Not long after, Shen Changze arrived carrying Xueqiu's body.
Jiang Shu glanced at it and asked Chu Yu to check it.
After confirming that Xueqiu was dead and lifeless, Chu Yu nodded to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu understood and asked Shen Changze, "Where is Heli Shu?"
Shen Changze took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms and handed it to Jiang Shu to read.
Jiang Shu read carefully, not missing a word.
Finally seeing that Shen Changze had given his name and stamp, Jiang Shu raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
"Chu Yu, have someone prepare a car to go to Pingxi General's Mansion."
Jiang Shu said, carefully folding Heli Shu and putting it away.
Shen Changze said worriedly: "You have accepted the Heli letter. What if you didn't ask Mrs. Zhuang to withdraw the charge?"
Then he really lost his wife and his troops.
Jiang Shu raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly and said nonchalantly: "I promised that I would do my best, but Mrs. Zhuang has no connection with me after all, so I can only do my best and obey fate."
Everything Jiang Shu said was reasonable. Shen Changze had no way to refute it and could only wait in fear.
After preparing the car, Chu Yu hugged the gift box that Jiang Shu had asked her to prepare early in the morning, and went to General Pingxi's Mansion with her.
This matter involves Mrs. Zhuang, so Jiang Shu naturally wants to prepare a generous gift for Mrs. Zhuang. I heard that Mrs. Zhuang believed in Guanyin, and Jiang Shu happened to have a good-quality jade Guanyin in his hand.
As for Yu Lan, Jiang Shu gave her a pair of Dongzhu earrings instead, and Yu Lan liked them very much when she saw them.
"Actually, you don't need to give this big gift." Yu Lan said, but put away the earrings in his hand.
Although she is a princess and has seen many good things, it is hard not to love such top-quality Dongzhu earrings.
Jiang Shudan smiled and said nothing, looked at the brocade box held by Chu Yu and said, "I want to pay a visit to Mrs. Zhuang."
"That's right. She has done a lot of work in this matter, but she is still kept in the dark." Yu Lan laughed guiltily.
Jiang Shu's eyes widened, shocked by Yu Lan's boldness.
Jiang Shu didn't dare to think about what Mrs. Zhuang would do if she knew the truth.
Seeing her worry, Yu Lan said with relief: "It's okay. You can only scold me a few times. It doesn't hurt."
Jiang Shu was worried all the way, but Yu Lan acted like a normal person. This was probably not the first time he had done this.
Mrs. Zhuang enshrined a statue of Guanyin in her residence and was reciting the Guanyin Sutra in front of the statue.
After hearing the servant's report, she stood up from the Guanyin statue and moved to the main hall with steady steps.
"I've met the old lady." Jiang Shufu bowed respectfully.
Mrs. Zhuang glanced at her and said, "Sit down."
Jiang Shu and Yu Lan sat down politely.
"What are you doing here, old lady like me?" Mrs. Zhuang asked knowingly.
Jiang Shu stood up, looked at the majestic Mrs. Zhuang above her, pursed her lips and said, "I want to beg Mrs. Zhuang to withdraw the accusation and let Shen Yanyang go."
Mrs. Zhuang snorted coldly: "Let him go? I, the young master of General Pingxi's Mansion, can't beat him if he wants."
"Since you have done something wrong, you should pay the price. This matter is not negotiable."
"Mother." Yu Lan stood up and said, "Actually, Yun'er only had a skin injury. It did not hurt her head, and it will not affect her study."
When Mrs. Zhuang heard this, she slammed the table and was furious: "You are Yun'er's mother, and you can even say such deceitful words just to help outsiders. How can you rest your conscience!"
Yu Lan looked stern and said bravely: "I'm not lying to you. Yun'er is really just a skin injury. If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself and ask."
Mrs. Zhuang naturally didn't believe it.
It's a matter of Zhuang Yun. Mrs. Zhuang doesn't dare to be careless at all. She must verify it herself.
So the three of them went to Zhuang Yun's courtyard together.
"Yun'er." Mrs. Zhuang stepped into the house and saw Zhuang Yun sitting on the couch playing with nine rings.
It was given to him by Jiang Shufang, and it was very novel to Zhuang Yun.
Doctor Chen was sorting out the medicines and preparing to change Zhuang Yun's medicine.
"Grandma." Zhuang Yun called out in a bright voice, full of energy.
Mrs. Zhuang walked over and asked him, "Are you dizzy or in pain?"
Zhuang Yun shook his head: "I'm not dizzy, and I don't feel much pain anymore."
Mrs. Zhuang was still worried and asked Dr. Chen again.
Doctor Chen glanced at Yu Lan, and when he saw Yu Lan nodded, he told the truth.
"The young master only injured the surface of the skin. The wound is not deep and he did not hit his head. It will not have any impact. Don't worry, old lady."
It happened to be time to change the dressing, so Doctor Chen simply removed the cotton cloth on Zhuang Yun's head and asked Mrs. Zhuang to check it in person.
Zhuang Yun's wound was just a skin injury, but Dr. Chen used the best medicine in the palace, and it scabbed over in two days.
It can be seen from the size of the scab that the wound is neither deep nor long, and it will not take long for it to recover as before.
Mrs. Zhuang was relieved and angrily asked Yu Lan why he had lied to her before, which made her worried and distressed, and even went to the palace to complain.
Yu Lanqing coughed and said, "Mom, let Dr. Chen change Yun'er's dressing. Let's talk in another place."
"Huh!" Mrs. Zhuang tossed her sleeves and walked ahead back to her yard.
Yu Lan and Jiang Shu quickly followed.
