Chapter 103 was taken away

"Master, Madam, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened."

The housekeeper rushed in, staggering a little. When he saw Shen Changhe and Shen Anan in the yard, he immediately ran over with red eyes.

"It seems that I can't have this meal." Shen Anan pulled the corner of his lips.

"Don't panic, talk slowly." Shen Changhe's tone was particularly calm.

"Master Zhou, Master Zhou, he brought several teams of soldiers and rushed in,"

Mr. Zhou? Ning Fei’s nephew from her mother’s side?

Shen Changhe narrowed his eyes, "The emperor is going to seek justice for Concubine Ning."

"Heh." Shen Anan sneered, "He's not asking for justice at all. He's clearly using this despicable method to hide his dirty thoughts."

As they were talking, officers and soldiers rushed in, led by Lord Zhou.

Since they were all officials in the court, it was natural that they had some friendship with each other.

Lord Zhou, dressed in his official uniform and with a saber on his waist, strode towards Shen Changhe, “Mr. Shen.”

"Master Zhou, I didn't expect it would be you who came."

Zhou Yunfeng's face was stern. "I am following the order of His Majesty to ask General Shen and Master Shen to go to the Dali Temple to investigate the case."

"Hasn't the Emperor already concluded that Concubine Ning was killed by Concubine Shen? What else is there to find out?"

Shen Changhe's tone was mocking. Zhou Yunfeng frowned and narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "I am just following orders. I don't know anything else. The emperor's thoughts are not something we can guess."

Shen Changhe seemed to sneer.

Who wouldn't know that Zuo was just trying to find out something more during the trial and implicate the Shen family as well?

"Okay, but there are women and children in the mansion. I hope Lord Zhou will be sympathetic and not scare them."

Although Zhou Yunfeng was a member of the Second Prince's party, he was a legitimate son raised by a large family, and his character was not bad. He nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Master Shen, we will wait here. Please notify Lord Shen to go with us."

"No need." A mellow voice rang out as the door of the flower hall opened. Shen Wen strode out, followed closely by the old lady and Madam Shen.

But both of them stopped on the steps and stared at Shen Wen's back.

"An An, come here." The old lady waved.

Shen Anan suppressed the heat in her eyes and glanced at Shen Changhe with concern.

"Go ahead." He said softly, "You'll need to look after the house while Dad and I are away."

“Don’t worry, big brother,” Shen Anan turned and walked towards Old Lady Shen and Madam Shen, and the three of them stood side by side in the corridor.

"Don't be afraid, grandma is here." Old Madam Shen's face was firm and cold, without any of the panic or helplessness of a woman.

Even Mrs. Shen became much stronger, biting her lips tightly without shedding a single tear.

Madam Shen's eyes fell on Zhou Yunfeng, and her tone was cold, "Although my Shen family is in trouble now, our foundation is still there. It is still unknown who is right and who is wrong. It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. I hope this lord will handle it impartially."

What she meant was that as long as her Shen family had not been dismissed from their official positions and their property had not been confiscated, they were still a first-class mansion and could not be bullied at will.

"Don't worry, old lady. We will naturally obey the emperor's orders." Zhou Yunfeng politely bowed to the old lady, waved his hand and left with his men.

Shen Changhe and Shen Wen were surrounded by soldiers. They did not look back, and the three women in the corridor did not call them.

When the people walked away and were completely out of sight, Mrs. Shen's legs went weak and her eyes became dizzy. The old lady immediately supported her, ordered the maid to help her into the flower hall, and called a doctor to take her pulse.

"Madam, you're fine. You're just worried and temporarily exhausted. You'll be fine after you take a rest."

"Go down and get the medicine." The old lady waved her hand.

Shen Anan frowned, “Wait, grandma, let the doctor take a look at you too. The more it is at this time, the more we need to be safe and sound, so that we can find a way to rescue Dad and Big Brother.”

"No, I'm fine."

No matter what, Old Madam Shen was unwilling to do so and had the doctor sent away. "Why would you see a doctor for no reason? You know, what grandma hates most is seeing a doctor."

Shen Anan stared at her face, which was still rosy and not sickly, so she didn't insist any longer.

"Mother, what should we do?" Mrs. Shen leaned in the armchair, unable to hold back her tears any longer.

Now that their backbone is gone, there are only three women left in the family. How can they save them?

"Whatever we should do, we need to get enough rest first and talk about it in the morning. An An, help your mother go back and have some rest."

Mrs. Shen couldn't sleep, but thinking about the old and the young, she had to hold herself up at this time, and then she barely stood up straight, "My daughter-in-law is fine, let An An accompany my mother."

After saying this, he left Anshou Hall with his maid.

"Mo Xiang," Shen An'an tilted her head and ordered, "Go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready. If it is, tell someone to send it to mother and grandmother's yard."

"yes."

"I'm not hungry." The old lady waved her hand. "I wanted to let them finish their meal before leaving, but it was too late and they didn't get to eat."

"Grandma always says that health is our capital." She stood up and walked to Old Madam Shen, holding her hand and said, "Now that Dad and Big Brother's future is uncertain, we must take good care of our bodies."

A quarter of an hour later, Mo Xiang came back with a food box, and the old lady reluctantly ate some of it after Shen Anan's persuasion.

"An An," Madam Shen finished her bowl of porridge, put down her spoon and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for our Shen family to get through this difficult time. You should be aware of this. If the situation is not right, take your mother away from the capital immediately."

"Grandma, didn't you say that none of our family would leave?"

"Silly child." The old lady stroked her head and sighed, "Leaving more people behind will only mean more lives lost. The emperor will not pursue the matter of two women who can't cause any trouble. We can't leave no bloodline of the Shen family behind."

"But don't worry, if the emperor doesn't kill them all, your aunt's fault will at most lead to your father and brother being dismissed and exiled, but she won't kill you."

A sneer appeared on Shen Anan's lips, "But I'm afraid that he is very suspicious and will not show mercy to my father and brother."

The old lady patted her on the back and said, "Well, it's getting late. Go to sleep first. We can discuss countermeasures tomorrow."

Shen Anan nodded. She originally wanted to stay in Anshou Hall to accompany her grandmother, but the old lady refused no matter what she said and drove her away.

Shen Anan had no choice but to leave Anshou Hall.

"Madam, the eldest girl has gone far away." The nanny handed the old lady a bowl of black medicine.

"Why do I have to take medicine again? It's so bitter." After complaining for a few words, she still raised her head and drank it. At this time, she must be careful and not let An An find out.

"Madam, this is not a solution. How about we just..."

Madam Shen raised her hand and interrupted the maid's unfinished words, "I am over seventy years old, and my body is buried in the earth. If I can use my remaining life to save my descendants, it is worth it."
