Chapter 228 Implicate
It's the sound of cum!
The old lady and the fourth master looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Ji walking out from behind the screen.
His face was ashen, and the old lady's face turned pale.
The old lady felt her blood run cold. "You, when did you come..."
Shen Ji stared at the old lady’s face intently, “I heard every word you said to Madam Zhou.”
He walked towards the bed step by step.
That look showed that he wanted to kill.
The fourth master stepped forward to stop him, but was kicked by Shen Ji and flew away. He hit the wall and fell to the ground, spitting blood.
The old lady said angrily, "If you have anything to say, come to me..."
Before he could finish his words, his neck was grabbed.
Shen Ji directly grabbed the old lady by the neck and pulled her off the bed.
He always knew that the old lady was selfish and partial to the second and fourth wives. The second and fourth masters were the old lady's biological children, so he thought it was normal for them to be a little partial. As long as it was not excessive, he could turn a blind eye.
I didn't expect that the old lady was so cruel that she could even kill her own sister, who was born of the same mother, and made him recognize the thief as his mother for more than 30 years!
The old lady couldn't breathe because her neck was strangled. She was even more frightened, fearing that Shen Ji would really break her neck.
Not only the old lady is worried about this, the Minister of Justice is also afraid.
If you pinch me again, I'll strangle him to death...
The Minister of Justice came over, grabbed Shen Ji's hand and said, "Duke, calm down..."
Shen Ji let go of her hand, and the old lady fell heavily to the ground.
The old lady was already ill, and this shock left her with only half a mouth left.
The Minister of Justice said, "Come here! Take Madam Shen to the Ministry of Justice!"
The old lady knelt on the ground, her face pale, "No! I can't go to the Ministry of Justice!"
If she enters the Ministry of Justice, everyone will know that she murdered her own sister. The reputation of the second and fourth wives is already ruined. Once it is exposed, people will definitely say that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. And Chen Wu is about to get married...
The old lady knew that she was going to die, so she got up from the ground and rushed towards the wall.
But Shen Ji saw through her little thoughts at a glance. He would not let the old lady die in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and dirty the land of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Two runners from the Ministry of Justice arrested the old lady and took her away directly.
The group of maids and old women in the yard were dumbfounded when they saw the old lady being escorted out.
Family disgrace should not be made public. What did the old lady do wrong to make the Duke so angry that he asked the Minister of Justice to take the old lady away...
Not only the maids and servants in the yard were confused, but also Yun.
She didn't know what happened in the inner room, but she knew it was related to Shen Wan.
Yun looked at Shen Wan, "What happened?"
Shen Wan said, “The old lady was killed by the old lady…”
Yun took a deep breath.
If Chen Wan had said this to her normally, Yun would definitely not believe it, but now that the Minister of Justice has taken the old lady away, she has no choice but to believe it.
The former old lady was the old lady's biological sister, how could the old lady be so cruel? Yun felt sorry for the former old lady whom she had never met, and also felt sorry for Chen Ji, who had regarded the thief as his mother for more than 30 years.
The second wife was not at home. She had gone out early in the morning to buy a dowry for her daughter Chen Wu. When she returned, she happened to see the old lady being taken out. Seeing this scene, the second wife felt like the sky had fallen.
The Ministry of Justice came with a prisoner carriage, and the yamen runners pushed the old lady in directly. The Minister of Justice said goodbye to Shen Ji, "My Lord, please don't get yourself hurt by being angry. I will go back to the Ministry of Justice first."
"Thank you."
Shen Ji thanked him, and the Minister of Justice got on his horse and took the prison cart back to the Ministry of Justice.
The Second Madam stopped them and said, "Why are you taking the old lady away?"
The Minister of Justice asked, "Blocking the Ministry of Justice from handling the case, do you want to be arrested and taken to the Ministry as well?"
The maid quickly pulled the second lady away.
The Second Madam looked at Chen Ji, "Wu'er is getting married soon, is there anything that can't be delayed?"
Slowly?
Does the second lady know why the old lady was arrested?
Even the old lady was sent to the Ministry of Justice, but the second lady was still concerned about the third girl's marriage. It was really a fantasy.
"The second branch is required to move out of the Duke's Mansion before this evening."
Throwing down the words, Shen Ji turned and left.
The second lady's face was pale.
Her daughter's wedding is coming up in a few days, and now she wants the second wife to move out. Will she even let her daughter get married?!
The Second Madam disagreed, and Steward Li said, "The Old Madam killed the First Madam. The Duke has given you half a day to move out of the Duke's Mansion. He has done his utmost. If the Second Madam makes a fuss again, you might be kicked out."
The old lady killed the previous old lady...
The second wife's body swayed suddenly and she almost fell to the ground.
Any mistake may be forgiven, but the hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable.
Shen Ji had already handed the old lady over to the Ministry of Justice for disposal, so how could he allow the second wife to stay for a few more days just for Shen Wu to get married?
The second wife's legs were so weak that the maid couldn't support her.
The former old lady was the old lady's biological sister. How could the old lady do such a heartless thing? It would have been fine if she had done it, but she didn't wipe out the roots and spared Shen Ji's life. When he was old, he was exposed and imprisoned, and he also implicated the second wife.
The second wife regretted not being separated at the beginning. When the family was divided before, at least she could get some property, but now she has nothing.
Just because the old lady killed the previous old lady, Shen Ji did not share the second house's property. No one would say a word against Shen Ji. Not killing the second master was considered Shen Ji's kindness.
When Shen Wan and Yun came out of the second door, they saw Shen Ji walking towards them.
"Father."
Shen Wan called out.
Shen Ji’s eyes were red, “How do you know that the old lady was killed by the old lady?”
Shen Wan said, "I didn't hide it from my father on purpose. I'm not sure either. I just dreamed that Madam Zhou came to Beijing to ask my father to save the Zhou family. My father was not at home, so Madam Zhou went to see the old lady. That night, she died suddenly due to acclimatization. Later, the second master sent Madam Zhou's coffin back to Beijing, and Master Zhou's family was murdered in prison..."
"After waking up from the dream, I suspected that Madam Zhou and the Zhou family had been silenced. That day, when I left the city, I happened to see my second cousin and Madam Zhou entering the capital. I stopped her from coming to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and asked my second cousin to find a doctor for her. Madam Zhou did not suffer from any acclimatization problems."
"A few days ago, I went to see Madam Zhou and indirectly found out the truth. That's why you cooperated with me today to get Madam Zhou to confess."
Yun said, "No wonder you repeatedly told me to send someone to tell you if Madam Zhou came to the Duke's Mansion."
Shen Wan said, "Father, don't get angry and ruin your health. The Duke's Mansion will be at peace from now on."
Shen Ji stroked Shen Wan's head and said, "Father is so lucky in this life to have a daughter like you..."
It is her blessing to be her father's daughter.
"Mrs. Zhou is still waiting for father in the main hall."
Shen Ji went to the main hall to see Mrs. Zhou.
Seeing Shen Ji coming in, Madam Zhou quickly stood up and knelt down to Shen Ji.
Shen Ji helped her up.
Madam Zhou choked up and said, "I'm sorry, elder sister, I'm sorry for you..."
Shen Ji said, "Wan'er has already told me about your kindness in protecting me. I will send someone to keep an eye on the case of Zhou's cousin."
No one blamed Mrs. Zhou for concealing the truth back then.
She was just a concubine's daughter, and it was already difficult for her to make a living under the noses of her legitimate mother and legitimate sister. From Madam Zhou's perspective, how could she dare to tell the truth?
The old lady could even poison her own sister, let alone Old Lady Zhou.
It was a rare achievement that she could find a way to protect Shen Ji within her ability.
