Shen Qingwan hid in a corner until she was helped out by Shen Zhiyi. There was still charcoal ash on her face. Shen Zhiyi wiped it for him and patted the back of her hand, "Don't be afraid."
Shen Qingwan felt a little uncomfortable as she gently wiped her cheek with the handkerchief, "I, I can just do it myself."
Shen Zhiyi lowered his eyes and noticed that there were still marks on her neck. She lifted up the old burn scars at the corner of her clothes and added a few more. Being stared at and looked at like this, Shen Qingwan was a little panicked, but she did not stop her. .
She knew that only in this way would Shen Zhiyi sympathize with her and find a way to save her.
"Sister Shen, please take me away, I don't want to stay here anymore."
Jin Yiwei broke into Shen's mansion today, and Shen Hong was almost certain to die. Even if he didn't die, he could not escape the blame. The letter he sent out could help Shen Zhiyi to some extent. She didn't ask for anything, she just wanted to leave this place.
"Sister, I know that my father is not good to you. I don't dare to ask for anything. If my sister can help me and tell the governor to spare my life, I will never set foot in the capital again."
She has followed Shen Hezhi for all these years, but has gained nothing. He is a hypocrite and he has to play the role of a good son. After all, she and he are not the same person.
How many times did Shen Qingwan beg him to find an opportunity to take her away, but Shen Hezhi was reluctant to let go of his official career and the Shen family's property.
Shen Zhiyi looked at her. Shen Qingwan was not a weak character and knew how to avoid danger. She had little contact with Shen Qingwan in her previous life. She was able to find Shen Hong's letter thanks to her.
If you bear this love, you have to be worthy of her.
"What Shen Hong committed is a serious crime. It's not impossible for you to escape, but everyone will know that you handed it over to me about that letter. You will also get a reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial by killing your relatives."
Unfaithful and unfilial, she knew what kind of person she was when she tried to poison her grandmother.
Rabbits will bite when they are anxious. In recent years, he was almost forced to a dead end by the Shen family, without even giving him a chance to breathe. If he hadn't accidentally discovered Shen Hong's dirty tricks after Shen Runxue's death.
Shen Runxue was originally a chess piece that he had trained for marriage. After her death, Luo Shi beat herself like crazy. She only regretted why she was not the one who died, but she never even went to the execution ground to take a look.
After she came back from the execution ground, she knew that Shen Hong put everyone's interests first.
I originally thought that Shen He's upright character was different from that of his father. The two had been taught by the eldest lady, but he had only learned to disguise, and he was still the same as Shen Hong in his heart.
He couldn't bear Shen Qingwan's appearance, and he didn't want to be talked about.
"I'm not afraid of being criticized. As long as my sister is willing to save me, I will treat her sincerely. My father is my father, and I am who I am. I will not do anything to harm my sister."
Shen Hong was willing to take him into the house, but it was because his mother and he had a lot of trouble back then, so he had no choice but to keep him in the house. It was said that he would be raised as long as he didn't starve to death.
Shen Qingwan held Shen Zhiyi's arm. She was still in shock. The scars on her arms were slightly cracked and tearing her skin. If the clothes were not dark in color, the blood would not be visible for a while. She bit her lip. Worried that if you don't pay attention, you will be left behind.
"big sister......"
Shen Qingwan's face was really pale, and she had eaten less these days. When Shen Zhiyi held her arm, she could clearly feel the bones in her flesh rattling. She seemed to be thinner than the last time he saw her.
Shen Hongcheng was obsessed with beauty all day long. If her grandmother hadn't taken care of the aftermath for her, she wouldn't know how many brothers and sisters would have appeared secretly.
"Let's go. You settle down in my house first. I will tell the seventh prince about you. You gave me that letter. In the end, it is also helpful evidence to overthrow Shen Hong. With that letter, he and Zhang The connection between the family is inescapable."
"Zhang colluded with Prince Sheng to rebel and was executed by His Majesty's order. He actually committed the crime after knowing Xuanwan's true identity. Although you are a blood relative of Shen Hong, more than ten years have passed. If you tell the seventh prince that he will not It’s hard for you.”
More than ten years have passed since Zhang's incident, and no matter how much he is pursued, it will only be to clear away the remnants. What Emperor Jing cares about is Shen Hong's private dealings with officers and soldiers from various places, and his use of his position to seek personal gain from it.
Emperor Jing would not refuse to execute Shen Hong, because he needed an opportunity to scare the monkeys. The power of the major families gradually grew. Wen Huaimin and Shen Hong even went to court with His Majesty several times to prevent His Majesty from coming to power. King Hengyuan was not as good as him in doing things. Uncle Wen Huaimin was cautious and fell into this trap.
Emperor Jing had known for a long time that Prince Rui acted openly and secretly colluded with Shen Hong, but he never had the chance to expose it. The forces in the court were so entangled that there was no complete evidence that he could not bring down those aristocratic families.
Each of these aristocratic families is more cunning than a fox, and they can't be moved without any evidence. They are also colluding, and would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.
"Mrs. Sheng is here——"
Sheng Yuan had returned to the capital a long time ago and had been sending people to secretly protect Shen Hezhi for the past two days. When he heard that something had happened to her husband, she quickly asked someone to drive to Shen's Mansion. The door of Shen's Mansion was closed. Fortunately, there were a few people around who knew martial arts and guarded the door. opened.
"I have met Governor Jiang. I heard about the incident in the Wang Mansion on the way here. I am willing to assist the Governor in the investigation. I just ask the Governor to save my son's life."
Shen Hezhi was born to her in ten months of pregnancy, and she must not suffer Shen Hong's consequences in vain.
The lace of Sheng Yuan's clothes is inlaid with gold threads. The fabric and style are also new products this year. She also wears mutton fat jade bracelets on her wrists. The red agate around her neck is also priceless. She has only left the Shen Mansion for nearly half a year. The wrinkles on his face have faded a lot, and the tiredness that was visible to the naked eye in Shen Mansion is gone.
Even the maids standing behind her were dressed in top quality materials.
It was not difficult for Jiang Yubai to spare Shen He's life, but he saw Shen Hezhi clearly. Although he was not as ruthless as his father Shen Hong, he was a complete hypocrite.
Seeing Jiang Yubai still refused to let go.
"Please spare my son's life, Lord Governor. I will help you if the Lord Governor wants to investigate."
This matter has to be left to Shen Zhiyi to decide. Yuange can always get it if he spends more time on the investigation. Last time he went to Shu to subdue the riot, the clues were broken after the investigation. Now this is an opportunity.
"The Governor should think carefully. Now that I have returned to the Sheng family, is the Governor willing to cooperate with me?"
She would find a way to clean up her relationship with Shen Hong. The Sheng family was originally a merchant, and Shen Hong married Sheng Yuan because of the Sheng family's property.
Shen Zhiyi heard their conversation clearly from behind the door. The Sheng family's shops were spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and half of the Qingsi Pavilion in Suzhou was also owned by the Sheng family.
