When Shen Yingnan heard this, he almost laughed out loud: "Father, have you forgotten that I have a grandfather, but... he was killed by you."
At this point, Shen Yingnan’s eyes were scarlet with anger.
When Shen Yingnan was young, he actually had a very good time. His family lived a good life, although a little poor. Although his "father" always had to go out to do business to support the family and he only saw his father a few times a year, he had the love of his grandparents and mother, and the company of his soft and sweet sister. He felt that although life was a little poor, he was also very happy.
Later, news came back that my father had died.
Although life was a little harder at that time, his talent was noticed by the old Mr. Wen next door, who took him in as his last disciple and taught him attentively. He lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the examination to become a Tongsheng at a young age, and later a Xiucai, and a Juren...
Just when he thought things were getting better.
But suddenly one day.
His father, who was said to be dead, suddenly came back, and came back rich and powerful. Before the family had time to be happy, he, his mother and his sister were taken away by his father's men.
Shen Yingnan later found out that his father was not dead at all, and even his identity and name were all fake.
His mother was just a distraction when he was bored.
What a poor merchant.
What does it mean to be fatherless and motherless?
What about being willing to marry into the wife's family?
They're all fake.
After getting tired of playing around, Shen Pinglong simply ended it by faking his own death. He didn't have to spend a penny during this period and even earned a lot of tears from his mother.
I felt so proud.
But later, Shen Pinglong discovered that Shen Yingnan, the genius "juren", was actually his son who was born when he was playing outside.
Because of the "marriage into the wife's family", at that time it was Shen Yingnan and his surname was not Shen.
When Shen Pinglong learned about such an "outstanding" son, he naturally became interested in him.
Afterwards, Shen Pinglong forcibly "took" the mother and son home.
And at this time.
Shen Yingnan's mother, Mrs. Wu, only then realized that she had inexplicably become a "concubine", and her two children also became concubines' children. How could she possibly bear this?
Because a concubine's son does not have the qualifications to enter the officialdom.
As a result, Shen Pinglong controlled the three of them. He threatened Shen Yingnan with his mother and sister, and threatened Wu with her son's future and her daughter's marriage.
But that’s secondary.
After Shen Haoran was angered once, Shen Yingnan learned from Shen Haoyi that his grandparents were both dead.
It turned out that after his grandparents learned of Shen Pinglong's identity, they realized that their only daughter had become a concubine for no apparent reason and had been deceived for so many years. His grandmother was so angry that she died. And when his grandfather came to the Shen family to find them, he was also beaten severely by the guards and died shortly afterwards.
Chen Yingnan asked someone to check.
Before learning of his grandfather's death, Shen Pinglong went to see his grandfather.
When Shen Pinglong heard Shen Yingnan's words, he was slightly stunned, and then he said with some disdain: "How can that greedy lowly person be worthy of being your grandfather? Now that you have become an official, you should know that if you want a successful career and want a high position and generous salary, you must have enough money to manage it."
"I've already made plans for you. From now on, you'll be the second legitimate grandson of the Chen family. You won't need to inherit the family business when you become an official, but as the grandson of the Chen family, you'll have the full support of the Chen family."
"With the support of our Shen family and Chen family, it is possible for you to be granted a title of nobility and become a prime minister in the future." Shen Pinglong became more and more happy as he spoke.
Thought he had imagined it.
Although the family has a "son-in-law", if his biological son can be granted a title of nobility and become a prime minister in the future, it will naturally bring him honor as a father, and his position as the head of the family will be more stable.
The Chen family also agreed.
"So, why don't you quickly release your grandfather's family! Come with me later to apologize to them. We are all family, and any misunderstandings can be explained..."
As Shen Pinglong said this, he wanted to pull him towards the gate of the Chen family.
Shen Yingnan brushed his hand away, glanced at him coldly, and then said, "Come here, arrest him as well and put him in the cell together."
What?
Shen Pinglong was stunned.
It wasn't until he was grabbed by two soldiers that he reacted and shouted angrily, "Rebellious son, what are you doing? I am your father, do you still want to lay hands on your father?"
Nowadays, filial piety is highly valued throughout the world.
Shen Pinglong had just dared to come and say a lot of things, relying on his status. Now he was even more arrogant and threatened: "You rebellious son, your father gave birth to you and raised you. If you dare to send your father to jail, you will definitely be reported to the court. You can forget about being an official. You have studied hard for so many years, you don't want to lose this hard-earned official position!"
Seeing that Shen Yingnan remained silent, Shen Pinglong thought he had figured it out.
He struggled to break free from the soldier, pointed at Shen Yingnan and said, "The current emperor attaches great importance to filial piety. Don't think that you are getting carried away just because you have received the emperor's grace. I am your father..."
But before he could finish his words, a knife was placed on his neck.
Shen Yingnan looked at him coldly and said in a low voice: “Do you know why I have never been able to do anything to you and let you come back alive from the capital?”
"What do you mean?"
Shen Pinglong was a little afraid of the knife on his neck, but he was also certain that Shen Yingnan would not dare to touch him, after all, he was in public.
Shen Yingnan really wouldn't touch him.
But she couldn't help but cut him with the knife. When he grimaced in pain, she whispered through gritted teeth, "Because I want you to see with your own eyes how you lose everything bit by bit. Shen Haoyi is just the first one, and next is the position of the head of the family that you value most..."
Shen Pinglong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise.
"Hao'er's death is related to you? What did you do?"
Shen Yingnan looked at Shen Pinglong, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled: “When you die, I will definitely tell you.”
After Shen Yingnan finished speaking, he handed the knife in his hand to the soldier beside him.
"Arrest him. I suspect my father is colluding with the Chen family and intending to rebel. If this is indeed the case, I will report it to the emperor and kill my own relatives for the sake of justice."
This time the soldiers didn't give Shen Pinglong any chance to resist.
As for the people at the door of the Chen family, their faces changed with fear when they saw Shen Pinglong was also arrested.
Not long after.
A soldier quickly carried a box out of the Chen family's house and shouted, "Sir, this box was found in the secret room of the Chen family master's study. It was hidden very well. Please take a look."
The Chen family's head, who was held at the gate, turned pale the moment he saw the box...
