This was the punishment he was planning to inflict on Shen Jiao, so why is it inexplicably falling on his head instead!

There were already many onlookers, and now even more people pretending to be passersby came and went. After Marquis An left, Marquis Shen and his entourage, not wanting to make a fool of themselves, all went home.

He stopped the carriage driver and asked him what had happened.

The servant dared not deceive the old lord, so he betrayed his master and told him everything at once.

"Foolish, foolish!" Old Madam Shen was so angry that her face turned red. "He's trying to make me angry to death before he'll feel at ease. How dare he stop His Majesty's carriage? He's putting Jiaojiao and the entire Marquis's mansion on the fire!"

Marquis Shen's face was extremely grim. "You're saying His Majesty didn't kill anyone because he listened to Jiaojiao's words?"

Servant: "Absolutely true."

Lord Shen frowned.

Ji Yan is a man of extreme ruthlessness and murderous intent; he never goes back on his decisions.

He believed that Jiaojiao was able to persuade the tyrant because he must have signed some unequal treaty!

When Madam Shen thought of this, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned pale with fright. Her excessive worry made it difficult for her to breathe.

The nanny quickly helped her to the inner room to rest.

While worrying about his wife's health, the old Marquis Shen was also concerned about his granddaughter's situation. Overwhelmed with anger, he said, "Since the father and son are so close, when the second young master and Shen Yu return, let them kneel in the ancestral hall with the Marquis!"

servant: "Yes."

Lord Shen placed great importance on blood relations.

He clearly distinguishes between repaying a debt of gratitude and raising a daughter. Over the years, although he hasn't said it, he hasn't been close to Shenyu.

The reason he punished Shen Qingye and Shen Yu was because his own father, elder brother, and younger brother were almost executed by the tyrant, yet they were leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks, showing their cold-heartedness!

"And one more thing," the old Marquis Shen said with a stern face, "when the young master and the third young master return, have them come to my study to see me."

servant: "Yes."
