"Lord Governor, how about we..."
Jiang Yubai raised his hand to stop his crying words. His eyes were deep and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Of course we have to take a good look at the drama staged by the Sixth Prince and General Ance."
Xuexiao understood and quietly stepped aside. Jiang Yubai raised his hand to stop his crying words. His eyes were deep and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Of course we have to take a good look at the drama staged by the Sixth Prince and General Ance."
If a prince is willing to sneak into another country to become a male favorite, it will never be because he covets Prince Rui's beauty.
If Shen Zhiyi hadn't reminded him intentionally or unintentionally that the sixth prince was probably a fake, I'm afraid even he would have been kept in the dark now.
Shen Zhiyi came over and grabbed Jiang Yubai's clothes, "Master...Master..."
This was the first time Jiang Yubai saw her look like this. "Your Majesty, I will go there in a moment." Jiang Yubai turned to the regent and said.
The regent seemed to be aware of the subtle atmosphere between the two of them. He sneered, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "I am here today just for my little grandson. Since you young people want to reminisce about the past, I will Will not be disturbing."
The regent turned and left. Before leaving, he looked at King Rui and King Hengyuan up and down. Before leaving, Cen Fengxing did not forget to tell Jiang Yubai, "Governor Jiang, you are not a god. Why should you forcibly imprison yourself because of human emotions and desires? Be careful. No disease is allowed."
Cen Fengxing left in a hurry. He had a good relationship with this senior brother. What's more, Cen Fengxu's whereabouts had to be investigated by Yuange. Now that there was news about him, it seemed that he had to go to Jiangnan in person.
King Rui was determined to come to see King Hengyuan's joke this time. After all, he accepted the invitation from the third brother, so he naturally had to come.
It’s also good to see the emperor’s sister-in-law.
When Shen Zhiyi saw the regent walking away, he asked Jiang Yubai in a very low voice: "Have you found out the identity of the sixth prince? You also saw it that day. In case he has ulterior motives..."
Shen Zhiyi lowered his voice and glanced at Prince Rui with a panic expression. That day they sneaked into Shen's mansion and learned about the transactions that Prince Rui and Shen Hong had done behind the scenes. Now the account book is in Shen Zhiyi's hands, and a copy of it is in Shen's hand. Hong's study room.
This matter was left to Xueciao. She was very skilled, so it was not a problem for her.
It's a pity that they can only get the account book in Shen Hong's hand, and the other half is in the hands of King Rui. If the real sixth prince standing next to King Rui, then it is not groundless that King Hengyuan ordered the Shen family to rebel.
I'm afraid Shen Hong was exposed and Prince Rui blamed the incident on their second wife. Among them, Shen Qinghe, who married into Prince Hengyuan's palace as a concubine, must have been the obstructionist.
If the events in this life coincide with the previous life, the tragedy of that year will probably happen again. Today's situation is getting more and more complicated. One stone stirs up thousands of waves. Shen Zhiyi also did not expect that the conspiracy behind it would be so... complex.
Jiang Yubai knew that if Shen Zhiyi hadn't said what he said that day, he wouldn't have found out the identity of the sixth prince so quickly, "Zhiyi, do you have something to hide, or do you know something, right?"
What she knows is scattered, and her current methods are based on her having lived one life longer than others and being able to see clearly who is good and who is bad. As for some of her methods, she still has to rely on Governor Jiang. These days she has learned She has many.
Seeing Shen Zhiyi frowning slightly, Jiang Yubai felt inexplicably uncomfortable. For some reason these days, he kept paying attention to her unconsciously, and even his emotions were affected.
It's just like what Xianqing said, he cares too much about his apprentice. It's not even the relationship between master and apprentice, it's...
Jiang Yubai suppressed his emotions, tried to eliminate this thought, and comforted: "If there is something you don't want to tell Master, it's okay not to say it. It's not too late to tell me when you want to say it."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect Jiang Yubai to say such words. She instantly felt that it was great to have such a person by her side.
Shen Zhiyi shook her head. She was afraid that if she told these things, the master would just think she was joking. She didn't want to worry anyone anymore, "Master, if there is any information from Yuan Pavilion, you must tell me." ? If Master hides everything from me, I will be worried. "
This is the only way to do it.
Jiang Yubai's heart softened when he saw her, and he nodded gently: "Okay, I will tell you."
Zhiyi shouldn't have too much involvement in the affairs of Yuan Pavilion and Jin Pavilion. It seems that Shen Zhiyi may have more information than Yuan Pavilion in some places, and even Shen An and Shen Zhiyun may not know about these things. .
Forget it, no one can bully Zhiyi with him anyway. If anyone dares to come up and cause trouble, they will be killed.
These days, Shen Zhiyi's mind has become much more stable than before. He will not act impulsively without permission. It would be good to have more information, not to mention that this disciple can make different discoveries every time.
Feeling warm in my heart, I couldn't help but reach out and touch her head: "Fool, Master just cares about you."
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yubai was suddenly stunned. Even he himself did not expect to say these words. His heart was slightly confused, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed at his own impulse.
Does this count as his concern for Shen Zhiyi? Or is it just because she is his apprentice? Jiang Yubai was a little confused.
Shen Zhiyi didn't notice anything strange about him. She only felt warm in her heart, as if a little sun was shining on her. She raised a smile and her eyes were full of gratitude: "Master, I will remember your kindness."
Jiang Yubai looked at her innocent smile, and the confusion in his heart gradually dissipated. He smiled slightly, with soft eyes: "Master's kindness is something you can remember if you want to remember it?"
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted with a slight blush on his cheeks: "Master, you are making fun of me again."
Shen Hong walked up to the two of them and said "tsk tsk" from time to time, "Zhiyi, you are also my niece after all. Why do you hang out with such a person? Could it be that your second wife has fallen in love and rushed to embrace her?"
"Did uncle forget that during those days in prison, if uncle doesn't mind, he might as well send you there again?"
Her voice was cold and firm, and every word was like a sharp blade, pointing directly at Shen Hong's vitals. A villain like Shen Hong will only betray his family to protect himself when danger approaches.
These words were undoubtedly telling everyone that in the case of the burning of the ancestral hall, it was them, the elders, who relied on their elders to try to burn a man alive, and it was said that he also violated family law.
What kind of family is the Shen family? Are those family laws something an ordinary person can tolerate? What's more, the things Shen Zhiyi committed are not enough to use the family law. Even the family law cannot ignore etiquette and rules, ignore legislation, and burn and kill juniors wantonly.
"When my uncle and my second aunt locked me up in the ancestral hall and tried to burn me alive, did they consider that the Shen family ancestral hall still enshrines the ancestors of the Shen family, and none of them were soldiers who fought hard for Dongling. What my uncle did made me sad. How can our ancestors feel at ease under the Nine Springs?"
Shen Zhiyi's words were heartbreaking, but Shen Hong wanted to retort, "You! You're talking nonsense!"
"Isn't it clear to my uncle whether I'm talking nonsense or not? The verdict has been read by His Majesty and is clearly written in black and white. Or are you openly questioning His Majesty regardless of the king's laws?"
Everyone heard the noise and turned to look at this scene. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment looked Shen Zhiyi up and down. He had collected money from Shen Hong during those days, and King Rui took care of it. He did not dare to offend King Rui, so he personally ordered Shen Zhiyi to be punished. Hong takes everything lightly.
Now that Shen Zhiyi has brought the Holy One up, if the Holy One knows these things, he will not be able to keep the black gauze hat on his head.
Shen Hong's expression changed in shock at her words, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously took a step back, his face turning pale.
Jiang Yubai chuckled lightly, with a bit of disdain in his eyes: "Master Shen, you have to be careful what you say to avoid disaster."
There was a strong confidence and majesty in his tone, as if everything was under his control. Shen Hong felt frightened by his sharp gaze. He pretended to be calm and straightened his back: "Huh, who do you think you are? You dare to teach me a lesson?"
Jiang Yubai curled his lips disdainfully: "Master Shen, you think too highly of yourself."
Shen Hong's horrifying laughter echoed in the hall, wishing that everyone's eyes would be focused here. Shen Xuan was sitting not far from Prince Rui, his eyes wandering. Si Nian received Prince Rui's signal, "Master Shen, don't be afraid. The prince and I will not harm you."
"Disgusting?" Si Nian repeated the words he muttered just now. He knew that these two words were meant for him, "Isn't Mr. Shen the disgusting person you call him, kneeling down to ask for help?"
His words stunned Shen Xuan, and he became even more frightened. Only then did he realize that his every move was under the control of others. He tried to hide his panic, but he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.
Disgusting is nothing, it is nothing in the face of power.
In this world of power struggle, everything is vain. Only those who truly hold power can stand at the top, while others can only become their pawns.
Shen Hong has been frustrated these days and has long been dissatisfied with Shen Zhiyi, a cheap girl. She has the nerve to be named Shen when she joins forces with outsiders to bully her like this!
He stepped forward and took hold of Shen Zhiyi's arm, as if he wanted to teach someone a lesson, but Jiang Yubai knocked him away with his palm.
However, just as his palm was about to fall, he was suddenly knocked away by an invisible force. His whole body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
Shen Zhiyun came over just in time to see this scene, and looked at Shen Hong who fell in front of him, "Master Shen, what does this mean? The princess is here to give such a grand ceremony?"
At the same time, Liuyin also supported the princess and walked into the door. Just as they stepped across the threshold, the ground suddenly shook, almost tripping them both.
Liuyin supported the princess and almost tripped when she stepped across the threshold.
Liuyin: "Princess, be careful."
Shen Zhiyun was about to reach out to help, but found that Liuyin had already stabilized the princess's body one step ahead of her. She was slightly startled, then breathed a sigh of relief.
The princess had just gotten better from the cold, and she couldn't delay now. The princess heard that the Shen family had a happy event. Although she didn't like this Shen Qinghe, she always felt that this concubine didn't like her sister's good life and wanted to compete in everything.
They were a family, but she and her brother had not been able to see each other for many years, and they rarely exchanged letters. Fortunately, they got a piece of letter paper but only a few words. His Majesty did not like that they had too much contact, and although he himself As a princess, she is not favored.
It's better not to cause trouble for no reason. Over the years, she has become accustomed to accepting things. She just lives according to other people's will. It is enough to protect the safety of those around her.
Shen Hong was even more angry after being pushed like this. Shen Yan couldn't help but sneer when he saw his elder brother being so embarrassed, "Brother, you have today too."
During the days when Shen Hong was in charge of the Shen family, Shen Yan could not stand his arrogance. As long as a period of time passed, the Shen family would be under his control, and Shen Hong's expression could still be seen.
The show of official power has reached home, it is simply lawless!
"You! Shen Zhiyi! Don't think that I can't teach you a lesson after you leave the Shen family! Just like your sister Shen Qinghe, you are both a bastard who is always trying to take advantage of yourself!"
This was said without any shame. Shen Zhiyi wanted to greet him, "Uncle, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
"Shen Qinghe is not my sister at all. I only have one brother, and my mother gave birth to my brother and me. How can I have a sister?"
Shen Hong burst out laughing after hearing this. Today was Shen Qinghe's wedding day. Everyone watched as Shen Qinghe came out of their house. Now Shen Zhiyi's words made it clear that he did not want to recognize her as his sister.
I wonder who the sinner will be accused by thousands of people at that time?
"Uncle, may I have forgotten that you were the one who interacted with Shen Qinghe's mother Xuanwan back then."
Shen Hong was shocked and quickly denied it. He didn't believe that Shen An could really control himself after such a stunning woman like Xuan Wan had been by Shen An's side for so many years. Besides, what if Shen Qinghe was really his daughter?
He didn't believe what evidence Shen Zhiyi could produce. Xuan Wan was dead and there was no evidence of his death. Shen Hong felt guilty, but he pretended to smile calmly, stared at Shen Zhiyi coldly, and said harshly: "You are talking arrogant words!"
There was a bit of gritted teeth in his tone, as if he wanted to break Shen Zhiyi into pieces.
Shen Zhiyun stepped forward and held her, "Is what my sister said true?"
"It's absolutely true." Shen Zhiyi replied, and then took out the things he found under Mrs. Shen's bed, "This is the evidence. Shen Hong and Xuan Wan had an affair, and above it is Shen Hong's personal letter. There are also evidence.”
Xiang Jinzhu was originally being dragged by the wives of various mansions to say something in the backyard. When he heard that Zhiyi was causing trouble in the mansion, Xiang Jinzhu panicked instantly and quickly pulled Shen An over with him. He was bound to ruthlessly punish the villain who bullied his daughter. Teach him a lesson.
Came over just in time to hear this conversation.
Xiang Jinzhu: "Husband...have you ever betrayed me in these years..."
Xiang Jinzhu's voice was very soft. She had struggled with this matter for two lifetimes. If she hadn't returned to her girlhood after rebirth, she might have really escaped from the capital with Cen Fengxu and wandered around the world.
"Madam, I promised you that I am the only one in my life. I drank too much that day, and when I woke up, there was someone lying next to me..." After Shen An finished speaking, he sighed and looked at Jinzhu unbearably, trying to get her understanding.
Mrs. Jiang: "What's going on? The Shen family is really in chaos. Everyone told Yun Shu not to associate with the Shen family. What else does the Shen family have besides Shen An, the general Shen family? The general family has lost its character. Now this Shen Zhizhi It’s quite interesting.”
Shen Zhiyi spread out these letters, and each one was a mountain of ironclad evidence. She approached Shen Hong step by step, with a hint of disdain and ridicule in her tone: "Uncle, maybe he is thinking that Xuanwan has no evidence, what can these prove?" Woolen cloth? "
Her words made Shen Hong pale, and he knew in his heart that the evidence in Shen Zhiyi's hands was enough to ruin his reputation.
"This is the proof that my uncle used to coax Aunt Xuan to go to Boss Song's shop to buy jewelry, and the clothes from Luo Yige. Maybe you don't think it's anything. I'm afraid that when my uncle bought the clothes from Luo Yige, their family was just a royal family. , even if it was bought ten years ago, you can still find the certificate. There is also a letter written by you personally from the original time."
Shen Hong's whole body was trembling. He stared at Shen Zhiyi with hatred in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would be forced to this point by a junior.
"What do you want?" Shen Hong asked through gritted teeth, already having an ominous premonition in his heart. "Is that all? What evidence do you have that I wrote it?"
Shen Zhiyi turned around and walked towards Shen Yan. She knew in her heart that her third uncle had long been dissatisfied with Shen Hong. He was reluctant to give up such an opportunity to bring down Shen Hong. He took the letter and looked at it. Only then did he realize that it was not just his handwriting. And his seal.
The handwriting may be fake, but the seal will never be.
This Shen Zhiyi is really not simple. No matter what he says or not, he is driving himself to a dead end.
If he admitted it, his relationship with Shen Hong would be at loggerheads.
If he denies it, it means that he has something to do with this matter. He and Shen Hong are in the same group.
Shen Yan secretly sighed in his heart, this Shen Zhiyi was really cunning and could force them into a desperate situation no matter what. Now that the evidence was conclusive, he had to face reality.
"These...are indeed my eldest brother's handwriting."
As soon as this statement came out, all the guests immediately started talking. They thought this was just a fight within the Shen family, but they didn't expect that it would involve so many people and things.
Some people began to chat in low voices. Back then, Shen An said that he could only be alone in this life, and then the joke about concubinage spread. If he hadn't made great achievements on the battlefield later, Shen An would have been looked down upon by outsiders for the rest of his life.
"Shen Hong's reputation is now ruined."
These comments stung Shen Hong's eardrums like needles, and he felt as if his face had been burned with a branding iron.
"Uncle, what else do you have to say?" Shen Zhiyi asked coldly, with disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
Shen Hong's face turned pale, knowing in his heart that he could no longer deny it. He stared at Shen Zhiyi, his eyes full of hatred, but he knew there was no room for redemption.
Shen An walked up to Zhiyi and looked at her daughter silently, but her eyes were full of relief. The little girl back then had grown so big now. She was brave and resourceful and worthy of being the daughter of the Shen family. She was right. The ancestors and clans have an explanation.
Even a woman from the Shen family can shine on a white horse with a silver saddle and dance like a shooting star.
There has never been a timid person in the Shen family. Shen An had no face to face her ancestors, and she felt sorry for her own child. If she hadn't been sent to the palace as a hostage, she would have gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy like her brother. , or holding a sword and being a female knight in the end of the world, even the female boss of the bun shop at the door is not bad.
As long as you are not trapped in this four-dimensional world, anything will be fine.
I originally thought that because of Shen Zhiyi's temperament, living in the backyard for the rest of her life would be fine. As for the rest, she would just let it go, as long as she was safe.
If Shen Xuan hadn't been held down by Si Nian, he would have rushed forward to fight Shen Hong and Shen Zhiyi to the death, "Master Shen, don't be impulsive. This drama isn't over yet? Why are you so anxious?"
Shen Xuan originally thought that Shen Hong was just a romantic by nature and would not cause trouble.
When he thought that Shen Qinghe was the heir of their eldest family, and that he and Qinghe were brother and sister, Shen Xuan suddenly felt ashamed. His previous affection and concern for Shen Qinghe now seemed so ironic and ridiculous.
There were mixed emotions in his heart, anger, shame, disappointment and pain intertwined together, making him almost unable to control himself. He stared at Shen Hong, his eyes full of hatred, but he knew that now was not the time to have an attack.
"Uncle, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Zhiyi asked coldly, with disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
Shen Hong's face turned pale, and the quibbles and denials in his heart disappeared instantly. In the face of solid evidence, he knew that his defense would only appear weaker. He stared at Shen Zhiyi, his eyes full of hatred, unwilling to be forced into a desperate situation by a junior like this.
Even Shen Yan was acting as a peacemaker, "Brother, if the evidence is conclusive, then let Qinghe recognize his ancestor and return to his clan."
Shen Hong was extremely angry, but he knew that Shen Yan was right and the evidence was conclusive. No matter how much he denied it, it would be useless. He stared at Shen Zhiyi and secretly swore in his heart that he would not let this matter go so easily.
"Okay, I will let Qinghe recognize his ancestor and return to the clan." Shen Hong said through gritted teeth, as if the sound was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Shen Yan was stunned after hearing this, but he didn't expect that Shen Hong would agree so readily. He originally thought that he would need some persuasion and mediation, but he didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief. At least the problem was solved for now. When Shen Hong moved out, the Shen family would be his.
Mrs. Shen passed out from anger long ago. She originally kept these evidences to prevent Shen Hong. Although Shen Hong was her son, it was always right to have some handle.
I was worried that Shen Hong's wings would be hard, but I didn't expect that he would make a big mistake because of his momentary negligence.
Son, mother can’t help you.
Shen Yan stepped forward to help her, "Mom, you still have me."
Fortunately, there is still a son. Fortunately, the Shen family will not have no successors.
King Hengyuan was furious and cursed Shen Qinghe in his heart, "Shen Qinghe, you bitch, how dare you deceive me!"
King Hengyuan cursed secretly in his heart. He originally thought that Shen Zhiyi would know the current affairs, but he didn't expect that she would be so ignorant. Now even Shen Qinghe dared to play tricks on him.
He originally thought that Shen Qinghe was Shen An's daughter and could use her identity to control Shen An to achieve his own goals. But now it seems that my plan has been completely disrupted!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions, "The farce is over, I will go back first. Since Qinghe has married into Hengyuan Prince's Palace, she is a member of this Prince's Palace. It no longer matters who her biological father is." ”
King Hengyuan walked away with a puff of his sleeves, his face ashen.
If she is not Shen An's heir, then what's the point of marrying this woman!
