"My son..."
A shrill scream came from the backyard of Shen's house.
There were people standing inside and outside Shen Wan's room.
Since the incident in Suzhou Mansion, Shen Wan was escorted back to Songjiang by Li'er one day later.
When such a big thing happened, Liu'er naturally didn't dare to hide it from Wang Shen's house and quickly reported it in.
When Prince Shen heard that something had happened to Shen Wan, it was very close to his heart. He couldn't sit still. When he came to Shen Wan's residence, he cried and cried.
This incident also alarmed all the masters in the house. They came to visit from all rooms. Old and young people stood all over the house. No, the yard could hardly be crowded.
"Shen Wan, you loser, didn't you say you would be friends? Why did you bet on insects?" Shen Wang felt sorry for her son, but she was still very dissatisfied with Shen Wan's behavior.
Shen Wan thought his mother was annoying, so he frowned and said, "Mom, I'm already like this, why are you still talking about me!"
"You still know it hurts? Tell me honestly, what happened?" Wang Shen asked angrily.
Shen Wan knew that he wanted to take revenge, so he could no longer hide it from his mother.
So he started to get acquainted with Zhou Xu, how to buy insects, how to forge her notes to go to the accounting office to pay money, how to use the money he won gambling on insects to make up for the shortfall, and how he was persuaded by Zhou Xu to go to Suzhou to make money. Ten spoke up.
Mrs. Shen couldn't believe that her son dared to forge his own note and went to the accounting office to withdraw 5,000 taels.
That's five thousand taels. Let alone an ordinary family, even a branch of the Shen family with more than a dozen people cannot save five hundred taels of silver a year.
It's good that my son is so courageous.
Seeing his mother's chest heaving and being very angry, Shen Wan quickly said "ouch": "My head hurts!"
Mrs. Shen Wang was just about to teach her son a lesson, but when she saw him crying out in pain, she immediately panicked: "Son, are you okay? Do you want to ask the doctor to come over and take a look?"
Shen Wan said weakly: "Mom, I don't feel pain, I just want the person who hurt me to die!"
After speaking, a malicious light appeared in his eyes.
Prince Shen said: "Don't worry, when you come back today, I will send someone on a fast horse to go to Suzhou Mansion to inquire about it. News will come back soon!"
"That Zhou Xu, mother, I have to dig three feet to find that Zhou Xu, he, he is the mastermind!" Shen Wan gritted her teeth.
Prince Shen has been in charge of the Shen Mansion for decades, and she has never seen any conspiracies and intrigues in the back house.
When she heard what her son said, she immediately shook her head and said, "There must be something wrong with Zhou Xu, but there is probably someone behind him!"
"Is there anyone else?" Shen Wan was stunned when he heard this.
Wang Shen said: "You said you heard the thief say [Looks like a rich man, search carefully] before you fainted?"
Shen Wan said: "Aren't these people the same as Zhou Xu?"
Shen Wangshi sneered: "I want to hide it, I don't want you to know their identity, no matter whether they are with Zhou Xu or not, but these two people are very suspicious!"
Shen Wan thought about it for a long time until his head hurt, so he simply said: "I don't care, mother, you must make the decision for me!"
Prince Shen said: "Take good care of your injuries and don't let the disease get to you. I will definitely help you find these thieves!"
After saying that, a fierce light appeared in her eyes, making the Shen family members visiting the patient tremble.
...At night, Shen Han finally came back.
Hearing that something had happened to his son, after learning the whole story, he almost killed this prodigal thing with the door bolt.
"Bastard, do you still have the nerve to come back?"
Seeing her husband pull out the door bolt, Mrs. Shen was so frightened that she hugged Shen Han's legs and cried with snot and tears.
Shen Han scolded: "Just spoil him. Sooner or later, the Shen family will be destroyed by this evil beast."
Shen Wan was trembling with fear and huddled on the bed, not daring to breathe.
At this moment, a servant outside the door reported: "Madam, the villain has returned from Suzhou."
When Wang Shen heard this, he quickly said: "Come in!"
After the visitor entered the door, Mrs. Shen couldn't wait to ask: "Have you discovered Zhou Xu?"
The man shook his head: "I checked with people in Suzhou for a whole day, but I didn't find the person named Zhou, but there is another thing that is a bit strange."
Shen Han said solemnly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly and don't hold back."
The man looked at Shen Han embarrassedly, and then at Shen Wang.
Wang Shen said angrily: "What do you have to say?"
The man murmured for a long time and then said: "My dear, I found out in Suzhou that the shopkeeper of the Mingya Garden where the Third Young Master went is a businessman named Ma Kui."
Shen Han said angrily: "What's wrong with Ma Kui?"
"Ma Kui has a cousin named Ma Qi!" The servant's voice became weaker and weaker.
Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "Who is Ma Qi? Why are you so hesitant in speaking and doing things?"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Shen Han suddenly slammed the table and stared at the man fiercely: "Get out of here!"
The people who inquired about the news were so frightened that they rolled away and crawled away.
Prince Shen was confused and said, "Master, who is Ma Qi?"
Shen Han frowned and looked at Shen Wan on the bed with a complicated expression.
After a moment, he slowly said: "Ma Qi is Zongqi's literary friend, Ma Juren!"
"What?" Mrs. Shen seemed to suddenly understand the cause and effect of the matter, and she was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
Suddenly, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Han with a "gudong" sound: "Zong Qian, after so many years of marriage to you, I only have two children, Shen Qiong and Shen Wan. Now Shen Qiong is an official in Beijing, and Shen Wan is the only one around her. It's useless, but no matter what, he is also Shen Xuan's younger brother, and his mother is also my biological sister after all. How dare he, how dare he..."
Shen Han's frown deepened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Impossible, Zongqi will never do such a thing, there is something wrong with it!"
Mrs. Shen's eyes were red from crying, and she said hoarsely: "What's the problem? He first found that Zhou Xu, and coaxed my son into gambling step by step, and then deceived him to go to Suzhou, pretending to make money but actually killing him, and let him The gangster deliberately said something [looking like a rich man], this is not a cover-up, what else!"
"So cruel, Shen Xuan, so cruel, Shen Xuan..."
After saying that, she fell to the ground and cried heartbrokenly.
Seeing this, Shen Wan could no longer lie in bed. He quickly struggled to get out of bed, hugging his mother and crying bitterly.
Shen Han said with a dark face: "It can't be a clan weapon. Shut up, all of you. The matter hasn't been found out yet! What the hell are you talking about?"
"Master, where is Shen Xuan? Why hasn't Shen Xuan shown up yet? He has a guilty conscience!"
"Shen Xuan went to Changshu to handle some matters on my order!"
"Haha, this Shen Xuan is really scheming. Under the pretense of being sent by you, he secretly killed his brother. In this way, no one can guess what happened to him!"
"Pah!" Shen Han slapped Wang Shen on the face, "I told you to stop talking nonsense, do you hear me?"
Mrs. Shen was slapped by Shen Han. She was stunned for a moment, and then she cursed like crazy: "Master, you hit me for a traitor who harmed my brother. Okay, you go and investigate. You go and investigate that Ma Kui." , if nothing is found, I will become a monk and become a sister-in-law!"
