Chapter 252 Confession

Mrs. Shen was confused at first, and it took her a long time to realize her situation.

"This...what's going on? Didn't the master say you were injured in an assassination? Shouldn't you be recuperating? Why are you here...why am I here? Where is this place?"

Chenzhoufu kicked her directly and spoke angrily.

"Why am I here? It's all thanks to you, bitch. What have you done? In order to defend the northwest, how many days have we not slept well? We are all trying to find ways to raise troops and food, but you, the wife of this state, are actually collaborating with the enemy and selling out your country. How can you be worthy of the people of the northwest calling you the wife of the state?"

Mrs. Shen then saw Jun Moye and Su Hanchu calmly sitting beside her drinking tea, and she suddenly panicked. Had she been exposed? Hadn't they said that even if the truth was exposed, the Fang family wouldn't give her up? How could this be?

Although she was panicking, Madam Shen was still making a desperate struggle. Anyway, the main figures of the Fang and Chen families were dead, and as long as she refused to admit it, they could not do anything to her.

"Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I've been staying at the Shen family these days, trying to gather some food or cotton clothes. I won't do anything as heinous as collaborating with the enemy and treason. And if I really were to do that, what good would it do me? Someone must be trying to frame me. Master, you must stand up for me."

Chenzhou Prefecture also held on to the last glimmer of hope. Although Young Master Jun had no need to wrongly accuse his wife for no reason, it was not impossible that there might be some misunderstanding. After all, his wife had delivered food to the soldiers in the northwest a few days ago.

"Master Jun, Madam Jun, could there be some misunderstanding here? My wife has always been gentle, and she has always been in the Shen family. The Shen family has so many servants. Moreover, if this is treason, if the northwest falls, it will only harm my wife, not benefit."

Su Hanchu and Jun Moye looked at each other and spoke slowly.

"Mrs. Shen naturally has her reasons. The reason for doing this is nothing more than revenge. Lord Shen, don't worry. We have all seen what you have done for the people of the Northwest. And what Miss Shen Second has done, so many soldiers in the Northwest are also watching. It is absolutely impossible to wrongly accuse the Shen family for no reason. It is very simple to investigate this matter. Just let Chen Wenlin confront Mrs. Shen."

Jun Moye gave the order in a deep voice.

"Take Chen Wenlin."

Mrs. Shen's eyes were filled with panic. Didn't they say that Chen Wenlin and Jiang Bolin were dead? Why was Chen Wenlin still alive?

"Master, Master, please believe me. The Jun family is deliberately accusing me with ill intentions. After all, they still remember what Luoxue did and want to retaliate against us through this war. Master, treason is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. Master, you cannot be fooled by others. Once this crime is determined, our entire fortune, the Xu family, and more than a dozen other families will be finished."

The Chenzhou Prefecture also had a conflicted look on its face, but when he thought of what Jun Moye and Su Han had done, he realized that both of them were men of great righteousness and would not burn food and grass to make rafts for a trivial matter in the past.

Looking at Madam Shen, she spoke.

"Madam, I hope you are truly wronged. You can confront Chen Wenlin later. If you are truly wronged, I will naturally protect you."

Chen Wenlin has been brought up.

Madam Shen pinched her sleeve nervously.

Jun Moye just glanced at Chen Wenlin indifferently.

"Chen Wenlin, speak!"

Madam Shen looked at Chen Wenlin and spoke with a warning look on her face.

"Who are you? I don't know you. Are you someone who has been sent here to frame me? I am the wife of a governor of a northwestern state. There will be consequences for framing me. Think twice before you speak. Don't ruin your life, and don't bring trouble to your family..."

Jun Moye held the teacup calmly, exuding an aura of majesty without even being angry.

“Mrs. Shen is indeed worthy of being the wife of an official. She can even threaten people in front of this young master.”

Chen Wenlin already knew that he was doomed to die. Now there were only the third branch of the Chen family left in the Chen family. He could only accept his fate, otherwise the Chen family would really have no descendants.

He knelt dejectedly and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The person who contacted the Fang family was from Beiyi. They said that Madam Shen would tell us where to store the food and fodder. Sure enough, a maid gave us a blueprint two days ago."

Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice.

"Tao Zhiwen."

Tao Zhiwen made a gesture to the outside world.

Mrs. Shen's maid Chun Qing came in pressed in.

Su Hanchu spoke.

"Chen Wenlin, is this the maid?"

Chen Wenlin looked at Chunqing, who was shivering after being splashed with cold water, and spoke after confirming again and again.

"Yes, although the maid was wearing a veil that day, her clothes and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye are all evidence."

Chunqing was pressed to her knees on the ground, trembling all over, with fear in her eyes.

Mrs. Shen hurried to help her.

"Chunqing, what's wrong with you?"

Then he looked at Jun Moye and the other two.

"Master Jun, Madam Jun, what are you doing? Are you trying to force a confession out of my maid?"

Jun Moye spoke impatiently.

"Confess, Chunqing. Treason is punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. You were just being instructed by someone. If you confess the truth, I can spare your family."

Chunqing was interrogated by Tao Zhiwen when she woke up. When Tao Zhiwen was serving Jun Moye closely, Uncle Liu began to teach him the tricks used in the palace. It was not an easy task to make a maid confess using those tricks in the palace.

Chunqing looked at Madam Shen and cried.

"Madam, I'm sorry. I really can't hide this for you anymore. We were wrong in the first place. Madam, let's admit our mistakes. Confessing our mistakes will lead to leniency. By admitting our mistakes promptly, we can at least ask Master Jun and Madam Jun to forgive our family."

Madam Shen slapped Chunqing in the face.

"You treacherous bastard, I've been so kind to you, yet now you're teaming up with outsiders to accuse me of something so outrageous. How dare you?"

Chunqing cried her heart out.

"Madam, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. I am willing to continue to serve you like a slave in my next life. But Madam, we really did something wrong. Let us admit it. If I don't confess today, I will be sorry to Tianyuan and the millions of people in the northwest. If I confess, I will be sorry to you. But Madam, no matter what the crime is, whether you are killed or cut into pieces, I will accompany you."
