Chapter 347: Taking Money but Not Doing the Work

"Dad, I don't want to go back to the Guo family, please!"

Shen Tinglan felt the malice of Master Guo, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. She knelt in front of Master Shen and begged in a low voice.

The Guo family is a den of wolves. As a daughter of the Shen family, she was beaten so hard that she couldn't get out of bed. Without the protection of the Shen family, how could Shen Tinglan survive?

Even if she dies, she will die in the Shen family!

"Tinglan, take care of yourself."

Mr. Shen showed no sign of mercy and looked indifferent.

It's not like Master Shen has ever favored a concubine's daughter over his legitimate daughter.

But things are different now. Shen Zhilan has climbed up the ladder, while Shen Tinglan is stuck in the quagmire. Master Shen quickly chooses the right direction and wants to step on his concubine's daughter.

"You are just like your mother, only able to lie with sweet words. You have such a vicious heart and almost caused Zhilan to lose her reputation. Now you have ended up like this, don't you deserve it?"

Mr. Shen held a grudge against Shen Tinglan's aunt and ordered his servants to expel her from the Shen Mansion.

"Dad, my daughter won't leave!"

Shen Tinglan showed a look of determination, she was going to make the final bet.

If the Shen family was truly ruthless, she would just kill herself.

"You're not leaving? Tie him up and throw him out!"

Out of sight, out of mind. Master Shen ordered his servants that before Shen Tinglan could make any move, she was tied up and thrown in front of the mansion gate.

Seeing that they couldn't make a fuss, the Guo family stood up and prepared to leave.

In the front garden, Shen Zhilan called Guo Rui and said, "Please stay."

Guo Rui paused, feeling suspicious. After much hesitation, he finally stopped and asked, "Mrs. Mo, what's the matter?"

The two families have completely broken off relations and will have no further contact with each other.

Guo Rui didn't expect that all his efforts would be in vain. He was so angry that his heart was twisted and aching.

“Guo Rui, you slandered Shen Tinglan for poisoning, do you think no one knows?”

Shen Zhilan made up her mind not to let the scumbag go.

Shen Tinglan got her retribution, but Guo Rui is still at large.

If we really talk about it, Guo Rui is the main culprit who should be punished.

"Mrs. Mo, it's not good to slander you without any evidence, right? I did have feelings for you back then. We were unmarried, so it's not shameful to use a little trick."

Guo Rui's heart trembled, and he forced himself to calm down and replied in a cold voice.

Shen Zhilan had already expected his rebuttal, as Guo Rui had always been like this in his previous life.

"You had an affair with Huamei and conspired to poison and slander Shen Tinglan. The poison was bought on the black market for thirty taels of silver from a man nicknamed Tian Qi."

The poison may seem serious, but drinking corn silk water can actually detoxify it.

These were the true words that Guo Rui confided after he was drunk in his previous life.

Shen Zhilan didn't say a word, but Guo Rui's face darkened. He was in a state of panic and asked cautiously, "Shen Zhilan, since you know so much, why didn't you tell me just now?"

“Because I hate Shen Tinglan more than you.”

Shen Zhilan's tone was very cold, and she smiled and said, "I have no other intentions in looking for you now. You slandered Shen Tinglan for poisoning and made a scene at the prefectural yamen. Do you know the crime of false accusation?"

All members of the Guo family were involved and will all go to jail.

"Then what do you mean by talking about it now?"

Guo Rui couldn't figure out what went wrong and asked tentatively.

Shen Zhilan smiled faintly when she heard this: "I'm short of money, one hundred thousand taels."

Guo Rui threatened the Shen family and asked for 100,000 taels. Shen Zhilan also used the same method, which was very reasonable.

"you……"

Guo Rui was shocked. Apart from the land and shops, the only thing the Guo family could offer was 100,000 taels of silver.

When Shen Zhilan spoke, it meant that she was going to take all the cash!

“The Guo family doesn’t have that many.”

First, stabilize Shen Zhilan, and then Guo Rui will investigate and fill in the gaps. By then, even if Shen Zhilan sues the authorities, there will be no evidence.

"I'll only give you one night. I'll be waiting for you at the Sucheng prefectural government office at noon tomorrow."

Shen Zhilan didn't give Guo Rui any way out and turned around and left after notifying him.

Guo Rui stared at Shen Zhilan's back with deep eyes.

After returning home, the Guo family gathered together.

When Mr. Guo heard that he was going to be imprisoned, he immediately panicked: "It's all my fault for talking too much, what should I do?"

“Dad, even if you don’t say it, Shen Tinglan will tell it.”

A cornered dog will do anything.

Guo Rui thought for a moment, then sighed and said, “Dad, there is no other way. Let’s listen to Shen Zhilan first. Fortunately, she only wants money.”

She chose not to reveal it in the Shen family. It seemed that Shen Zhilan did not want to embarrass the Guo family.

Although one hundred thousand taels is a lot, just consider it as hush money.

Wait until the Guo family's business slows down, and then find a way to trip up Shen Zhilan.

"In short, let's get through the current difficulties first."

Guo Rui summoned Huamei for interrogation, but Huamei knew nothing.

Mr. Guo pondered for a moment, then said, "Dad knows there's a shady guy who specializes in kidnapping and trafficking delicate women. The master with a perverted hobby likes to abuse them. Although Shen Tinglan is not a perfect girl, she is also the daughter of the Shen family who was expelled from the clan. Maybe she can be sold for a high price!"

At night, the Guo family father and son found the man in black and sold Shen Tinglan for three thousand taels.

The next morning, Shen Zhilan received the 100,000 taels on time.

After she received the banknote, she said to her maid Xia'er, "It feels so good to be a rich person!"

Now, Shen Zhilan can finally understand Jiang Yuzhu's happiness.

Guo Rui handed over the banknote and said fiercely, "I hope Madam Mo will keep her word!"

Shen Zhilan glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

She just asked for money, didn't she promise anything?

She especially likes taking money but not doing anything!

In the afternoon, the maid Xia'er reported to the police, and the officers quickly arrested Guo Rui and his entire family and put them in jail.

Huamei quickly confessed that she and Guo Rui had conspired together.

Even after learning that he had misunderstood Shen Tinglan, Mr. Shen did not feel the slightest bit of guilt and just pretended that he did not have this daughter.
