Chapter 666 Shen Chengfeng and Shen Emei engage in a fierce battle!

Shen Conglian glanced at his third brother. He was terrified just thinking about talking to that person in the palace.

"Third brother, there is an order of seniority. Yuanhao is returning to the capital to get married, so he must come first." Therefore, let the third brother handle the matter with the palace.

Shen Congli wasn't stupid, and he didn't want to talk to the palace.

If it weren't for their connection, he would have wanted to stay far away from that person in the palace.

"Second brother, Yuanhao is not in a hurry. He hasn't even started looking at potential partners yet. Chengfeng has already found someone. Since Yuanhao hasn't returned yet, why don't we let Chengfeng finalize the marriage first?"

Shen Conglian naturally wanted to settle his grandson's marriage as soon as possible. The Gao family's official position was a given, and he and Liu had thoroughly investigated Gao Mingyue, their legitimate daughter, so there was absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.

But he didn't want to talk to the palace!

That person is truly terrifying. The number of people in the Shen family who have been implicated is not enough. It has only been a short time, and such a huge lesson has already been learned. How can we forget it so easily?

Shen Congli had an excuse. He pointed to his ear and then waved his hand without saying a word.

In his condition, let alone entering the palace, he would have difficulty even speaking to ordinary people.

Shen Conglian glanced at his third brother and stepped back into his chair.

"Why don't we wait until Yuanxu comes back before we talk about it?"

Chengfeng is his grandson, and how can a grandson's marriage bypass Yuanxu, his father?

Shen Conglian easily convinced himself.

They thought that once their sons returned, the Shen family would be even more prosperous and proud, but unexpectedly, just when they were about to welcome them back, trouble struck at this crucial moment.

Yesterday, the sky was covered with thick, dark clouds, and today it's snowing.

Shen Lanxi had just praised the auspicious snow for a bountiful year in court when, after leaving the court, she heard a guard report that Shen Chengfeng and Shen Emei were fighting in the street.

"The incident started when Gao Mingyue was caught having a secret rendezvous with a scholar by Shen Chengfeng. Somehow, it was discovered that this scholar knew Gao Mingyue through Shen Emei."

Shen Lanxi understood.

"Does Shen Chengfeng think this is a trap deliberately set for him by Shen Emei?"

Guard: "Yes."

She was very curious; this was done far too roughly.

"Why didn't Gao Mingyue choose a more secluded place for her secret rendezvous? And why did Shen Chengfeng happen to see them?"

The guard whispered a name.

"It may be related to this person."

Shen Lanxi immediately sneered. She was in the prime of her life, and the people below couldn't wait to fight and grab her.

"There must be a lot of people watching the spectacle on the street." Naturally, the more people who know about such a shameful affair, the better.

Guard: "Your Majesty is wise."

Shen Lanxi's face turned cold: "Shen Emei and Shen Chengfeng, if you damage any property on the street, you shall pay for it at the original price. If you injure any innocent passersby, you shall apologize and pay for their medical expenses. Then, you shall be confined to the manor for six months!"

"Yes!" The guard immediately went to the Shen residence to inform them.

His Majesty's words are law, and the Shen family, who had just calmed down, has started causing trouble again.

Can't they see that His Majesty is treating them coldly?

The news of the Shen siblings fighting in the street quickly spread throughout the capital.

No sooner had Shen Conglian and Shen Congli seen off the palace guards than they had Shen Emei and Shen Chengfeng summoned.

"Both of you, kneel down."

Seeing that their two elders' faces were ashen, Shen Emei and Shen Chengfeng quickly and obediently knelt down on the ground.

"Which of you started it?" Shen Conglian didn't expect Shen Congli to speak up and directly reprimanded the two of them.

Shen Chengfeng looked up at his grandfather guiltily and said in a low, aggrieved voice, "It was grandson who started it."

Shen Conglian, knowing what had happened, naturally felt sorry for his grandson.

However, he turned to look at Shen Emei, who had an arrogant expression and remained unteachable even when being punished by kneeling, which made him furious.

“Family scandals should not be aired in public. Even if Emei conspired with outsiders to scheme against you, you can go home and talk about it, or ask your elders to take charge. How can you expose this matter in the street?”

"If we siblings scheme against each other, what will outsiders think of our Shen family?"

If Shen Emei were his own granddaughter, he would have already disciplined her according to family rules. Why would he be here having to put up with this wretched child's attitude?

Shen Chengfeng regretted it after he hit the person.

“Grandfather, I know I was wrong. But Shen Emei schemed against me, she didn’t care about the reputation of the Shen family, I just can’t swallow this insult.”

Seeing his grandson with his head down, Shen Conglian felt even more heartbroken.

His grandson was outstanding from a young age, surpassing Shen Emei in every way. The two had been comparing themselves since childhood, and he knew all of this.

As long as they don't harm their siblings, the older generation can understand the competitive spirit of young people.

But this time, Shen Emei knew that Gao Mingyue was already discussing marriage with Shen Chengfeng, yet she still did such a despicable thing, which was nothing short of cruelty.

“Grand Uncle, you can’t just listen to Shen Chengfeng’s side of the story. I don’t even know that scholar. He saw Gao Mingyue and that scholar getting into a slutous relationship, and he took his anger out on me.”

Shen Emei wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move at this time.

Someone like Gao Mingyue would be better off married by Shen Chengfeng.

"You're saying that person wasn't introduced to Gao Mingyue by you?" Shen Conglian didn't believe it at all, but he reluctantly asked out of politeness, so as not to be biased.

"Yes, I swear, if I was the one who went there, may I be confined to the inner quarters for the rest of my life!"

Shen Chengfeng naturally understood Shen Emei's ambition. Hearing her make such a vicious oath, he turned and glanced at her.

Although the oath was vicious, he still didn't believe in Shen Emei.

At school, Shen Emei certainly did her best to trip him up.

"Emei, are you serious?" Shen Conglian looked at Shen Emei earnestly.

"Of course, what good would it do me to have a man get close to Gao Mingyue? She's so stupid, wouldn't it be better for her to marry Shen Chengfeng?"

Shen Conglian's face immediately darkened with anger.

Shen Chengfeng was also furious and embarrassed. He said angrily, "If no one had discovered Gao Mingyue's filthy affair with that scholar, wouldn't Gao Mingyue have married me in such a disgusting way?"

Shen Conglian turned and glared at Shen Emei. Such a young age, yet such a vicious heart.

Shen Emei: "Why don't you ask that scholar and Gao Mingyue? You have to catch the thief red-handed. If I did it, you'll know as soon as you ask."

Shen Chengfeng sobered up considerably. No matter how much he disliked Shen Emei, he had to admit that what she said made some sense.

"Grandfather, please send someone to the Gao family and also to fetch that scholar."

It's easy to talk to a scholar; he's just a commoner. A few servants can easily bring him over.

Since the Gao family held official positions, Shen Conglian thought for a moment and decided to go and confront them.

"His Majesty has confined you two to your quarters for six months. You should reflect on your actions at home." Shen Conglian added a warning, fearing the two children might misbehave.

"You know His Majesty's temper. Don't go looking for trouble. If anything happens to you, I can't save you!"
