Now that the matter had been agreed upon, Shen Liuliu instructed her guards to watch over Sun Lianchao as he left.

Shen Wanli asked anxiously, "Liu Liu, will this Sun Lianchao listen to us?"

The key point of their discussion lay with Sun Lianchao.

If he disobeys or even turns against them, then their whole family will be in danger.

"Father, don't worry. Sun Lianchao is very smart, and more importantly, he values ​​his life very much."

Shen Liuliu said with certainty.

People with weaknesses are easily manipulated.

If Sun Lianchao hadn't valued his life and wanted a peaceful life, he wouldn't have impersonated her fourth brother to come to the Shen family.

Moreover, with the Crown Prince's presence as a deterrent, Sun Lianchao dared not go too far.

"Actually, what I want to ask is, Liu Liu, is this Sun Lianchao really not related to our family at all? Why does he look so much like your fourth brother when he was little?"

Tian Guifen asked somewhat anxiously. (Reading a book)

She still couldn't let go of it.

They look so alike, how come he isn't her fourth son?

Everyone else looked at Shen Liuliu expectantly.

“Now An’an’s letter states that he is definitely not Fourth Brother. As for whether he has any blood relation with our Shen family, I don’t know.”

Shen Liuliu answered truthfully.

They look so alike that it certainly raises suspicions.

Xiao Zhou advised Tian Guifen not to have any hope: "It's normal for people to look alike."

"It looks so much like..."

"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."

Mrs. Zhou offered her comfort.

They look so alike that it's easy for people to mistake one for the other.

But if Sun Lianchao really was related to the Shen family by blood, would he have kept quiet just now?

After all, if I tell them, I can save my life.

"I was just delusional... What's lost is lost, my stone is gone."

Tian Guifen was heartbroken.

In fact, over the years, Tian Guifen has gradually let go of her grief over Shen Sishi's death.

After all, how many children in the village die at the age of a few?

Although she was sad, it wasn't that she couldn't let go.

The reason I've kept thinking about it all these years is because, in the end, Stone wasn't necessarily going to die.

If Grandma Shen is willing to spend the money, there is still a chance to save Shi Tou.

That's why Tian Guifen has held a grudge against her mother-in-law for so many years, and also has been concerned about Shitou for so many years.

Now that Shen Sishi has suddenly come back to life, Tian Guifen is overjoyed, thinking that she can make up for this son and make up for her regrets.

But little did they know, it was all a lie.

The cruelest moment is when the bubble bursts.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou simply patted Tian Guifen on the shoulder without saying a word.

In the face of the pain of losing a child, any words spoken seem pale and powerless.

Shen Liuliu was powerless to do anything about it.

Although she was also curious as to why Sun Lianchao looked so much like her fourth brother.

Days passed by one by one.

Soon it came to the anniversary of Old Master Shen's death.

Both the Shen Qianli and Shen Wanli families went to the grave early in the morning to burn paper money, erect a tombstone, and complete the burial ceremony.

Later, around noon, we arrived at a restaurant in town for lunch.

Before we arrived at the restaurant, a guard came to report.

“Shen Baili secretly went to buy poison yesterday.”

After Shen Baili and Sun Lianchao exchanged letters, Shen Baili immediately went to the restaurant and applied for a job as a kitchen helper.

To ensure his smooth progress, Shen Wanli made special arrangements; otherwise, Shen Baili wouldn't have been able to enter the restaurant's kitchen so easily.

The kitchen is the most fundamental part of a restaurant. How could the manager allow someone of unknown origin to work in the kitchen?

Shen Wanli had to put in a lot of effort to achieve this.

"Hehe, Shen Baili really did live up to our plans."

A look of regret flashed across Shen Wanli's eyes.

But they're brothers!

Why did it have to come to this?!

"Since he's so heartless, you don't need to keep thinking about brotherhood and getting upset. It's useless."

Tian Guifen never spoke kindly about Shen Baili's affairs; at most, she would refrain from making sarcastic remarks.

No amount of tenderness remains.

Seeing his wife's displeasure, Shen Wanli dared not say anything more.

The carriage soon came to a stop.

Both Shen Wanli and Shen Qianli's families arrived at the restaurant together.

While walking, both families restrained themselves and did not look left or right to see which one was Chen Baili.

Upon arriving at the private room, some snacks, fruits, and tea were served.

Shen Liuliu immediately took a few pastries and fruits, threw them into the trash can, and hid them under the table to make it look like someone had eaten them.

The same applies to tea.

Because they were preoccupied with their own thoughts, the two families chatted casually and inattentively.

However, since today is the anniversary of Mr. Shen's death, it is normal for everyone to be in low spirits and not want to talk, so it does not arouse suspicion.

After about twenty minutes, Fang Ze rushed in and said, "Caught red-handed."

They were all prepared, so after the poison was found in Shen Baili's residence, a doctor immediately came forward to examine it.

With witnesses and physical evidence, and Shen Baili being arrested immediately after administering the drug, there was no way for him to deny it.

Moreover, Shen Wanli had already discussed it with the restaurant owner beforehand, so no one came to watch the spectacle.

Although everything happened without leaving any trace, outsiders only know that something happened, but they don't know exactly what happened.

"Uncle, do you want to go see Shen Baili?" Fang Ze asked.

If it were anyone else, the prisoner would naturally be taken directly back to the county government office.

However, Fang Ze and the Shen family are related by marriage, so they will naturally make an exception for him.

Shen Wanli and Shen Qianli exchanged a glance and nodded: "Let's meet him. We're brothers, and I want to ask him how he could be so heartless as to poison our whole family."

He believed that he had not let his elder brother down.

If it weren't for the older brother's constant scheming and coercion back then, the two brothers wouldn't have ended up like that.

Even after all that commotion, Shen Wanli still felt no shame in his conscience, let alone in the eyes of others.

How could Shen Baili hate him so much?

“Okay, but it’s best not to have too many people,” Fang Ze said.

With so many people, the commotion is too great.

Shen Wanli also expressed his understanding.

So in the end, it was Shen Wanli and his wife, Shen Qianli and his wife, and Shen Songshan and Shen Yishan who went to see them.

Shen Liuliu originally wanted to go, but after thinking about it, she realized that someone like Shen Baili couldn't possibly have any other thoughts besides complaining about everything.

Going there would have only meant listening to complaints and grievances, which wouldn't have been helpful, so I didn't go.

When Shen Wanli and his group arrived at the kitchen, only Shen Baili, a few constables, and Fang Ze were there.

Upon seeing Shen Wanli and his group, Shen Baili gritted his teeth and cursed, "I really underestimated you. You actually knew all along? It seems that bastard Sun Lianchao has already confessed, hasn't he?"

He was caught right after the drug was administered. How could Shen Baili not have realized it was a trap?

I only regret that I was too hasty, which is why I fell into the trap!
