Chapter 468 I am of royal blood
Zhu Yixuan was sweating profusely, his whole body was shaking, and he couldn't utter a word.
Cen Mingzhu was even more confused. She still couldn't understand how she was discovered, and why the Sixth Prince was here?
Seeing their silence, Murong Chen curled his lips coldly, "Come here, punish him with thirty strokes of the cane."
Cen Mingzhu came back to her senses and shouted in horror, "You can't do this to me! I am the Second Prince's person. I gave birth to a son for the Second Prince. You can't treat me as you please!"
Everyone in the lobby was stunned.
Shen Yi and Tang Yu exchanged glances. Damn it! They seemed to have heard some great secret!
Murong Chen slammed the table angrily, "Cen! What nonsense are you talking about? How can you just randomly claim to be a royal bloodline! I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"I didn't! I didn't! We haven't been together since Zhu Yixuan was in mourning for three years. My child is the second prince's! I can swear!" Cen interrupted without giving Zhu Yixuan a chance to speak.
If he tells the truth at this point, the most likely scenario is that Cen Mingzhu will not be able to bear the shock and will die here. The Sixth Prince will confiscate the Zhu family on the grounds that they are confusing the royal bloodline, and his life will be in danger.
The result will be the same whether you say it or not. If you don't say it, you can still survive and fight for a chance of survival.
So he remained silent.
Murong Chen's expression was gloomy. He couldn't get involved in such a big matter as a royal scandal. He immediately ordered, "Come here, get ready and return to the imperial capital immediately! Tang Yu, you stay and preside over the imperial examination."
Tang Yu and the other two hurried down to make arrangements.
After Zhu Yixuan and Cen Mingzhu were taken away, Master Zhu and the housekeeper were beaten with sixty sticks before being released.
Lu Tong was exhausted physically and mentally after all the work, and walked with heavy steps to find Chen Yi to drink alone, "I used to think about getting promoted and being the boss, but now I realize that there will always be someone above you! If I'm not careful, everything will be ruined!
The Zhu family originally wanted to climb up the social ladder, but now I’m afraid it’s all over! ”
Chen Yi straightened his back and advised seriously: "Master Lu, as long as you act uprightly and sit upright, ghosts and gods will not be afraid! Zhu Yixuan is in this situation because of his ambition, and it has nothing to do with others! Do you know why I told you about the Cen family?"
"I'm all ears!" Lu Tong sat down. He knew that Shen Yi and the Zhu family had a grudge, but he never thought that Shen Yi would give the Zhu family such a fatal blow.
Shen Yi smiled and said carefully: "Because the Zhu family can no longer accommodate me, if I don't take action, when Zhu Yixuan becomes powerful, he will make it impossible for me to turn over.
Of course, these are secondary. The most important thing is the Sixth Prince’s concubine Shen.
Cen almost killed the Sixth Prince's concubine. The Sixth Prince wanted to avenge the concubine, and I also want to avenge the concubine!"
Shen Tian was injured because of their family. Although this incident has passed, the guilt in his heart has not diminished in the slightest. If he has the chance to kill Cen, how could he let it go!
Lu Tong suddenly realized and didn't say anything else.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the imperial examination arrived.
All the candidates who passed the preliminary examination went to the county town.
The test center was located on the newly built street. Some of the shops had already been sold, but no one opened a shop to do business, so all of them were vacant.
As long as people are sent to guard a few exits of the street, this place will become a natural examination venue and can easily accommodate thousands of candidates.
Su Tai accompanied Chen Congrong to take the exam and met Xiong Feng again.
Xiong Feng and Shen Congrong greeted each other and said nothing more.
Su Tai secretly observed for a while, and when Shen Congrong entered the examination room, Yu Dong immediately took her to find Shen Yi.
Shen Yi had to stay away because of the fate of his two sons, and was now sitting in the teahouse, leisurely sipping tea.
Su Tai went upstairs and sat down opposite him. "I met a candidate today, his name is Xiong Feng."
"Xiong Feng?"
Su Tai nodded, "Yes, it's just what you think! After Xiong Kai died, Mo Chunxiang and the Zhu family searched the whole world for him. I heard that they searched Zhaohua County thoroughly but couldn't find any news about Xiong Feng. Now that the Zhu family is in trouble, he doesn't have to worry anymore!"
Shen Yi thought about it and was calm, “What happened back then has nothing to do with us, he can come back if he wants, I won’t care as long as he doesn’t cause any trouble, but if he does, I will never let him off easily.
Wife, if you have time to take care of other people's children, why don't you pay attention to our two brats? I'm not worried about the eldest, but I don't know what the second one has become after being trained by Master Xue!"
He was so busy during this period that he didn't even have time to visit the twins.
Su Tai glanced at him with amusement, "Why do I feel like you're jealous! Like a child! Don't worry! I saw Yu'er outside the examination room. Lord Xue is really capable. I see that the child has become much more stable. He will definitely make you proud this time!"
Shen Yi liked to hear this.
The three days of exams passed quickly, waiting for the last one to be over.
Tang Yu ordered his men to lock and seal all the papers and send them back to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
Tang Yu was saying goodbye to Shen Yi when Yu Dong suddenly came in with a pale face and reported, "Master, Madam Shen is gone!"
Shen Yi and Tang Yu looked at each other, and without talking, they hurried back to Shenjiazhuang.
Because Murong Chen came specially to see Mrs. Chen.
All the prominent families in Zhaohua County knew that Mrs. Chen was no ordinary person, and her funeral was held with extraordinary grandness.
When Shen Yi and Tang Yu arrived, white silk had already been hung in Shen Mu's house and all the red lanterns had been removed.
There were cries everywhere inside and outside the house.
Huang Xinghua saw Su Tai and hugged her and cried bitterly.
Su Tai hurriedly asked, "Aunt, I'm so sorry. Have you prepared all the burial objects for grandma?"
Huang Xinghua nodded, "My mother-in-law has suffered all her life, and the thing she treasures most is the wooden hairpin my father-in-law gave her when she got married. I put it in her hair. Other than that, she has received gifts from her children and grandchildren over the years, but she was reluctant to use any of them and saved them all. I put them all in here."
Su Tai looked at it carefully and said, "Aunt, take these things and put them in too."
Huang Xinghua opened it and took a look, then quickly closed it, "This, this, this is too valuable!"
The box that Su Tai gave contained gold, silver and jade ornaments, which were obviously very valuable.
Su Tai said seriously: "After all, your family is the maiden family of the Sixth Prince's concubine. The burial objects cannot be shabby, otherwise it would be an embarrassment to the concubine."
In fact, the Sixth Prince gave Chen Pozi a lot of things, including some valuable items.
But he didn't clearly state the use of those things. When Mrs. Chen was alive, she probably distributed all the things to the younger generations. Su Tai couldn't say anything, and she would not take the initiative to remind Huang Xinghua of the twists and turns here.
Chen Mu and Huang Xinghua didn't understand these rules, and seeing that Su Tai and Shen Yi had arranged everything so well, they didn't dare to object.
They do whatever the couple says.
Mrs. Chen's funeral was grand and spectacular.
Once again, it dealt a heavy blow to the half-dead Master Zhu.
