Those who tried to test the waters at the beginning used all kinds of methods.
The most successful one was when a girl who claimed to be the daughter of Prince Yujiang appeared. The girl really looked a bit like a princess, and his grandfather almost believed her. If his grandfather had not discovered the flaw in time, he would have been deceived and lost the only evidence that could prove the truth about the tragic death of Prince Yujiang and his family.
After that incident, his grandfather completely distrusted outsiders.
He has been waiting all these years.
He waited for the arrival of someone who could truly serve the King of Yujiang. Therefore, he had the Wang family join forces with the other three major families, controlling a quarter of Yujiang's power. Furthermore, he had also had people spread the news of the Confucian scholars who were taken away by Qi State spies to the capital.
Otherwise, with only four families in control, how could the news possibly reach the capital?
His grandfather didn't trust outsiders, but he was waiting for someone to come.
Wang Xuan understood the pain his grandfather felt.
To his grandfather, Prince Yujiang was not only his savior but also his mentor. He was the master whom he always thought of...
Wang Xuan finally thought about it and decided not to go find Shen Yingnan.
Because he felt it was not the right time.
Compared with the calmness of the Wang family, the Shen family was in chaos.
"That bastard, how dare he, how dare he!"
When Chen Shi first heard that her family had been raided by Shen Yingnan and his men, and that her grandfather and father had been imprisoned, she thought it was a joke. But when the maids and nannies around her confirmed the truth, she was so angry that she smashed all the porcelain in the house.
"Madam, Madam, please don't be anxious. This is probably just that bastard's bluffing..." The personal nanny hurried to comfort her.
The personal maidservant beside him said with a pale face: "But, but I heard that the house was sealed and even the servants were taken away for questioning. Moreover, I heard that the master was also arrested..."
"What! The master was also arrested?"
Chen's face changed. "Why didn't anyone report this before? What are you doing?"
The maid replied, "Madam, you are taking a nap. We dare not..."
'Pah'
A slap landed on the maid's face, and Chen's face was horrified with anger. "You idiot, can you wait until I wake up to tell me about this?"
The maid lowered her head in grievance.
Ever since the young master died, the lady's temper has been unpredictable, and she has never slept well. In the past, if she was woken up by a little maid after falling asleep, the little maid would be beaten to death.
In this situation, who would dare to come in and report?
Even the personal nanny beside her pretended not to know and didn't dare to come in and wake her up! !
"What are you still standing there for? Go tell the old man and ask him to find a way to get the master out." Chen said angrily.
The maid didn't dare to say anything and hurried out.
soon.
Chen went to the front yard of the Shen family and looked for the old man of the Shen family, Shen Pinglong's father and the previous head of the family.
"Father, I heard that Shen Yingnan brought people to raid our Chen family and even put the master in jail. You have to think of a way to deal with this!" Chen didn't care about anything else and said hurriedly after entering the hall.
I didn't have time to notice the elders of the clan sitting on both sides, or the young man sitting at the lower right.
Old Master Shen frowned, his brows turning pale, and looked at Chen unhappily: "Chen, don't you see that all the elders of the clan are here? You didn't even inform them before you came in. How can you be so rude!"
Chen was stunned.
In the past, the old man of the Shen family was very kind to her.
She was a little surprised by the harsh shouting now, but when she saw the elders of the clan sitting in two rows and Shen Yingnan on the right, her face suddenly turned ugly.
But I endured it.
After paying respect to the elders, Chen finally looked at Mr. Shen and said, "Father, our Chen family..."
"Okay, we are talking about this right now. As a woman, stop butting in here. Go out." Old Master Shen wanted to send Chen away.
Of course it was impossible for Chen to leave.
Especially Shen Yingnan is still here.
"Father, this matter concerns our Chen family. I have the right to know, not to mention..."
"Half of the Shen family's assets are the result of a large investment from our Chen family. If anything happens to our Chen family, I'm afraid the business won't be easy to do. Although I'm a woman, I'm also the only legitimate daughter of our Chen family..."
This has always been the confidence of the Chen family.
She is the only legitimate daughter of the Chen family. She is doted on by her father and brothers. She has had whatever she wanted since she was a child. Otherwise, after she married into the Shen family, the Chen family would not have sent her large amounts of silver repeatedly.
Let Shen Pinglong sit firmly on the position of the head of the family.
"Shut up, this is not something a woman like you can handle..." Just as Mr. Shen opened his mouth, a voice interrupted him.
"grandfather."
Shen Yingnan stood up, glanced at Old Master Shen, and then looked at Mrs. Chen: "Isn't it that Madam Shen relies on the little money of the Chen family to be able to stand tall in our Shen family? Now, in front of grandfather and the elders, she can even mention the Shen family's business. It seems that our Shen family's business is really inseparable from the Chen family..."
Chen raised her chin slightly, looking at Shen Yingnan with a look of disdain: "What do you know, a lowly creature like you? Do you think that just because you passed the imperial examination and got an official position, you can show off your power? Let me tell you, it's not difficult to become an official. There are many people in our Chen family who have become officials."
"So, your Chen family still has a way to buy and sell official titles?"
Shen Yingnan raised her lips and said something that hit Chen's heart: "Then why didn't Madam Shen buy one for big brother too? If Madam Shen really had that ability, why would big brother go to the capital to take the exam? Not only did he not pass the exam, but he also died in the capital. Tsk, what a pity!"
These words really hit Chen's heart hard.
She has only one son.
That's her fate.
She was so angry that her eyes turned red, she grabbed the teacup on the table beside her, and threw it at Shen Yingnan fiercely: "You bastard, why didn't you die?"
"If Madam Shen wants to blame someone, it should be your Chen family. You have connections, but they gave them to your own grandson. Now that your grandson is dead, you can use your own grandson to replace him. Tsk tsk, this really makes people have to say that Madam Shen, your family's abacus beads have already jumped on people's faces."
"Mrs. Shen didn't even notice it, and instead enjoyed it. Tsk tsk! It's really interesting. I just wonder if Big Brother will be unable to close his eyes after he dies..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen's voice suddenly shrilled, and her expression changed immediately, with a hint of abnormal madness in her face: "What do you know? You know nothing. How could you possibly know how much my Chen family paid to establish connections with the higher-ups? How could we use them so carelessly? Besides, all the official positions that can be bought and sold in Yujiang are already full, otherwise my Chen family would definitely buy them for Hao'er..."
