Chapter 78 The Beginning of the Shen Family’s Nightmare
Shen Zhiyuan couldn't think of anyone who would specially give him a gift.
Many people came to his house to give gifts, but they were all for his father.
Mrs. Shen was sitting in the living room, drinking tea.
She has always been arrogant. Her husband holds a high position and her son is also good. Whenever she attends banquets or something, people flatter her wherever she goes.
However, as soon as she saw her son, she immediately softened and her eyelashes were filled with smile.
"Son, come and take a look. This is specially given to you by someone."
Shen Zhiyuan looked puzzled: "Who sent it?"
"Who cares who he is? With three boxes this big, there must be a lot of gifts. Don't worry, once you accept them, someone will come forward to claim them."
Shen Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay."
The box was sealed with a piece of paper, so it must be something valuable.
He was in a bad mood, so he took the gift to cheer himself up.
I opened it with great anticipation, and when I looked inside, my eyes suddenly widened, my head made a buzzing sound, and I almost gasped with fright.
There was a bloody human head in the box!
His face was facing upwards, his eyes were wide open, blood was oozing from the corners of his eyes, nose and mouth, and he looked hideous and terrifying.
Shen Zhiyuan's father was the Minister of War, and Shen Zhiyuan himself was skilled in martial arts, but he had never been on the battlefield or engaged in close combat.
If it was to punish servants or something, that was fine, but to chop off someone's head...
He never even thought about it.
What's more, he knew this person. He was one of the three people he sent to capture Yu Shengsheng.
One, two, and three. There are three boxes in total. No doubt, there must be human heads in the other two boxes.
Exactly three.
Shen Zhiyuan's face was pale and his whole body was cold.
Mrs. Shen took a look inside with great interest and fainted out of shock.
"Who, who sent it?" Shen Zhiyuan grabbed the servant and asked.
"Sir, I don't know. They put the things at the door and said they were specially for you, then they turned around and left."
"How could this happen? How could this happen!"
Shen Zhiyuan was in a state of confusion. The death of these three people was not a pity, but the question was who sent them back like this?
What do you want to do?
Finally, Mrs. Shen woke up: "Son, what's going on, they..."
Before he could finish his words, the servant came running in again.
"Oh no, Madam, Master, there is a group of imperial guards outside, they say they are here to search the place under the order of the emperor!"
…
The news that Kong Dezhao gave Yu Shengsheng thirty-one rabbits and raised them in the greenhouse quickly spread throughout the Su family.
Yu Shengsheng clearly felt that her status in the Su family was rising.
In the afternoon, the housekeeper personally delivered ice twice, once as a cup of iced cold tea.
This has never happened before.
Until the evening, Nanny Zhao came personally to invite her to have dinner in the old lady's courtyard.
Yu Shengsheng didn't want to show off her deep family affection to them and didn't want to go, but on second thought, she decided to go anyway and find a chance to ask about Grandma Wu and transfer her to her side as soon as possible.
Madam Zhao forced a smile on her face and said, "Miss Sheng, the old lady specifically asked me to prepare your favorite dishes for you. I personally watched over it."
Yu Shengsheng smiled: "Oh? Really? I wonder what you have prepared?"
Aunt Zhao choked. How could she know what Yu Shengsheng liked to eat? She just said it casually.
Yu Shengsheng chuckled and glanced at the jade hairpin on her head.
"Mammy, this hairpin is in good condition."
Madam Zhao was all smiles and was about to thank her when she suddenly remembered that she had once given Po Wu a silver hairpin, which was later used as the weapon to kill the princess's dog.
Yu Shengsheng kept walking, and Nanny Zhao stared at her back with resentful eyes.
Humph, a villain has succeeded. A country girl is so arrogant just when she is about to fly to the royal palace. The old lady would not have arranged this marriage for her if she didn't want the general to return to the capital earlier.
Bah! There will be a time for you to cry.
The others have already arrived, Yu Shengsheng is the last one.
Su Huaishan snorted: "You are so late. You made the whole family wait for you."
"Yes, I was notified the latest, and it's more tiring to watch the rabbits," Yu Shengsheng said lightly.
“…”
Madam Su waved to her: "Come, Shengsheng, sit next to me."
Yu Shengsheng sat down at the very end: "No, let's sit here. I'm used to it."
Su Dingqin frowned and wanted to say something, but Su Yanshu said, "Everyone is here, let's eat."
He glanced at Su Zhiyi. Su Zhiyi had been in a bad mood, and he naturally knew why.
But at this moment, we have to give up on this matter.
"Ayi, choose a location tomorrow and your second brother will build you a greenhouse."
Su Zhiyi forced a smile: "Don't spend money, the greenhouse costs a lot of money, and it's not convenient for me to take care of it myself, and it's troublesome to ask other people to take care of it."
Su Huaishan nodded: "You are still sensible and understanding. Yanshu, you have money to build a greenhouse, why not repair the ancestral hall in your hometown? The last time I went back, the clan leader said that the ancestral hall was leaking a little. We should still focus on the affairs of the clan."
Su Zhiyi lowered her eyes and poked the fish in the bowl with the tip of her chopsticks - what ancestral hall, what water leak? What does the knife have to do with her? Why should she use the money given to her to repair the greenhouse?
He's dead, what's the point of a pile of rotten wooden tablets? It's better to burn them all. Su Huaishan is such an idiot, he only cares about clan members all day long!
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes, a smile flashed in her eyes. Look, these people all have their own thoughts. When their interests conflict, everyone is full of calculations and only thinks about their own affairs.
Su Dingqin said unhappily, "We give so much money to our hometown every year, but what do they do with it? Most of my father's salary went into their pockets. They want to build a temple, but they still want to use the money from Zhiyi Flower House?"
Su Huaishan frowned: "What are you talking about? We are not in our hometown, and we can only take care of a few things in the family throughout the year. If we don't contribute, shouldn't we contribute some money?"
"Okay," the old lady said, "stop arguing. Do you want to eat?"
She suppressed her anger and felt very unhappy.
She also hoped that her eldest son would come back soon to take charge of the situation. If her eldest son was at home, how could she have the turn to take care of the affairs of the mansion all day and be exhausted both mentally and physically?
She should have enjoyed her retirement long ago.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was odd. Just as he was feeling depressed about eating, Su Yanshu's servant came in hurriedly and whispered something in his ear.
Su Yanshu's expression suddenly changed: "What? Is this true?"
"It is absolutely true. The imperial guards have surrounded the Shen family. Minister Shen is said to be still detained in the palace and has not returned home."
Su Yanshu glanced at Su Zhiyi with a complicated look, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
Yu Shengsheng paused with her chopsticks, her heart beating fast.
Something happened to the Shen family? Could it be...
Her first reaction was to think of what Kong Dezhao said, "I also have something to do."
The old lady looked worried: "What happened?"
Su Yanshu didn't want to say anything. The matter was still unclear and he didn't want to make Su Zhiyi worry for no reason.
Just as I was thinking of saying a few words to get the matter over with, I heard footsteps outside and someone holding a torch, illuminating the window paper.
