"He's a few years younger than my father."
Butler Cheng straightened up: "What do you mean by that, Miss?"
Shen Yuan did not explain further, but turned around and went back to Changfeng Residence.
Butler Cheng didn't think much of it, assuming that Shen Yuan had just asked casually out of boredom.
Unexpectedly, the mansion was robbed that night. Shen Yuan, holding a torch, led the servants to search the courtyard by courtyard, and unexpectedly found many undergarments and bodices that Jiang Shi had worn in his room.
The intention behind keeping the mistress's personal belongings is all too obvious.
For a moment, the servants looked at each other in bewilderment.
Unexpectedly, Steward Cheng, who had been in the mansion for many years, had always coveted the mistress of the house.
This is just too... shocking!
Steward Cheng was brought before Shen Wei by the servants. Shen Wei, who had been exhausted these past few days, waved his hand and told Shen Yuan to handle the matter upon hearing about it.
So Shen Yuan had Steward Cheng tied up and taken to the servants' quarters.
Looking at the pile of Jiang's personal clothing and jewelry on the floor, Butler Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief. He had indeed kept a few of Jiang's handkerchiefs, but far more than this. This was clearly a setup to frame him.

Seeing that Steward Cheng did not answer, Shen Yuan said, "I am a kind-hearted person. Although you did not help me to invite the imperial physician, I will invite the imperial physician for you."
After saying that, Shen Yuan ordered the servants, "Beat them! Beat them until the family physicians can no longer treat them and the imperial physicians have to be called in!"
"You...you're killing servants at will. If the general finds out, he will definitely not tolerate...tolerate you doing this."
Butler Cheng, his face contorted in pain as he was struck by the board, still stubbornly shouted defiantly.
Shen Yuan knew that Steward Cheng was not convinced by her. "Tell me, if Father knew that you were the one who defiled Jiang's body, do you think he would not tolerate my abuse of torture, or would he not tolerate you living another day?"
