"These bastards, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
"Shen Muzhi!" Shen Chongde suddenly called him by his full name, and he immediately stopped what he was doing. "Father, what are the Song family? How dare they spout nonsense in public, bully my brother, and tarnish my sister's reputation?"
"So you're planning to go to the Marquis's mansion and kill a few people to vent your anger?"
"I……"
Shen Mu was speechless.
He was also a government official; did he commit murder?
That would inevitably implicate the entire Shen family.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Shen Muzhi asked indignantly.
“Zhiyi has already avenged Qi’an today, and I heard that His Majesty has also issued an edict to reprimand him. Your elder brother is about to get married, so at this time, we shouldn’t create any unnecessary complications,” Xu Yunyi said.
Shen Mu snorted, feeling uneasy.

"It is said that a few days ago, they returned the money, hired a doctor for the old lady and Song Ruoying, and even made some connections in the prison to get Song Yuxiu better taken care of."
Shen Zhiyi tapped her fingers lightly on the table; it seemed the Song family had found a powerful backer.
But in the current situation, who will help them?
"Miss!" Green Lotus hurriedly knocked on the door and entered. "Someone from the Marquis's residence has arrived."
Shen Zhiyi's gaze darkened slightly. "What brings you here?"
"The Marquis has bound Song Shaohuai, saying he has come to plead guilty with a bundle of thorns on his back."
