Thinking about it this way, Mr. Shen also felt that he had been confused before.
How could he be fooled by Shen Pinglong and bring in the Chen family? He must be confused.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have your own grandson?
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen's smile grew even brighter, and he continued kindly, "Yingnan, don't worry. When we get back together, I'll have your father marry your mother off in a grand sedan chair. From now on, the three of you, mother and son, will be included in the family tree, and you'll be the legitimate wife of our Shen family..."
"Need not!"
Shen Yingnan interrupted Mr. Shen calmly, looking at him with emotionless indifference: "My father married into the Wu family, and my name should have been Wu Yingnan."
"You silly child, there is no such thing as marrying into the wife's family in this world. It's just that poor people can't make a living, so they do that. Our Shen family is one of the four major families, and your father is the head of the Shen family, so how can it be possible to marry into the wife's family?"
Mr. Shen actually turned a blind eye to the tricks that Shen Pinglong played when he was young.
Anyway, the Shen family can afford to have fun.
But now that Shen Yingnan had said this in public, he naturally wouldn't admit it: "Back then, it was because Chen was too overbearing and tyrannical. Your father was also a little afraid. He was afraid that you and your three children would not have a good life after returning, so he never went to bring you back."
"But things are different now. This time, your grandfather will make the decision for you. He will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
Obviously, this old man Shen, like the old patriarch of the Chen family, thought that Shen Yingnan cared about his background and thought that if he was given a "legitimate" identity, he would be grateful and serve them.
It's really ridiculous!
However, Shen Yingnan didn't waste any more words with him.
Instead, he looked at the soldier beside him, and saw the soldier took out a booklet from somewhere and handed it directly to Mr. Shen.
"What's this?"
Mr. Shen was puzzled.
He took it and looked at it. He didn't understand it at first, but the more he looked at it, the uglier his expression became. Finally, he closed the book with a snap, and looked at Shen Yingnan with an unspeakable emotion in his eyes.
"Yingnan, where did you get this?"
Shen Yingnan also answered him directly: "It was found in the secret room of the Chen family master."
"That old thing!"
Old Master Shen was so angry that his face turned black. He grabbed the notebook with his hands and tried to crush it. "I was wondering why he agreed so readily. It turns out he had this thing on hand. He's really insidious."
“Yingnan, do you still have this thing?” Mr. Shen thought of something and looked at Shen Yingnan.
Shen Yingnan did not disappoint him: "Yes, there are quite a few. There are more than a dozen books from the Shen family alone."
"What? A dozen?"
When Mr. Shen heard this, he felt uneasy: "How could there be more than ten? Over the years, we have only given him one account book of our private business, so how could there be more than ten..."
Mr. Shen paused when he said this, because he thought of his son Shen Pinglong and Chen Shi who was beside him. Chen Shi was so obedient to the Chen family. Could it be that...
"Shen Pinglong, that idiot, can't even take care of something this important." With the account books now in the hands of the Chen family, it's no wonder they were so generous in investing so much money. It's obvious they aren't afraid of the Shen family eating them out; instead, they want to fatten them up and slaughter them later!
And the booklet that Shen Yingnan took out was nothing else.
These were the account books of the Shen family's private business, which were not visible to the public. They included the smuggling and selling of private salt and minerals with the government, as well as private transactions with some local dignitaries.
This kind of account book cannot be seen in public.
One book would be enough to make the Shen family suffer, let alone more than ten books. The Shen family would probably be confiscated.
but……
Mr. Shen smiled and looked at Shen Yingnan, this time with more sincerity and hidden flattery: "But fortunately, there is you, Yingnan, otherwise this matter would really not end well."
The elders around also got what was going on.
The elders naturally knew about some of the Shen family's affairs, and some even participated in them. When they heard what Mr. Shen said, many of them immediately smiled and agreed: "Yes, it's a good thing that our Shen family has a promising child like Yingnan. From now on, our Shen family will be stable."
"There's actually no need to wait for anything to happen to enter the family tree. We can find an auspicious time tomorrow and do it right away."
"Then let's not wait until tomorrow, let's do it today."
"Yes, yes, today..."
The elders were all very shrewd. Although Shen Yingnan was a male heir and had been included in the family tree long before he was brought back to the Shen family, he was only given the title of a bastard. His mother and sister had not even been included in the family tree yet!
How can we keep the person in the Shen family?
Shen Yingnan looked at the scene in front of him and found it very ridiculous. Did they really think that he cared so much about the title of the Shen family's legitimate son?
Not to mention the Shen family, he even disdains the surname Shen! !
"So it seems this account book is real. In that case, let's go to the prison together..."
Shen Yingnan didn't want to waste any more time talking.
He simply raised his hand and made a gesture, and the next second, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside.
Each one was dressed in armor.
Solemn and majestic.
You can tell at first glance that he has actually killed the enemy, which is not something that ordinary guards and officials can compare to.
Everyone in the Shen family was stunned.
Mr. Shen was even more confused. When he realized what Shen Yingnan said, his eyes suddenly widened slightly: "Yingnan, what do you mean? Are you going to put our Shen family in jail as well?"
Mr. Shen would never have dreamed that Shen Yingnan summoned the elders of the Shen family for this purpose.
He also thought that Shen Yingnan wanted to use the matter between the Chen family and his father to seek justice for himself in the family.
After all, who would be so foolish as to dig up their own roots? !
“If the old man has anything to say, you should wait until you meet the prosecutor before saying it.” After Shen Yingnan said this, he directly ordered someone to arrest him.
Not only did they arrest Mr. Shen.
There are also elders present.
"Boy, what are you doing!"
"We are all your elders. How can you let people treat us like this? This is outrageous!"
"Shen Yingnan, I have always been optimistic about you. I was planning to nominate you as the next head of our Shen family. How could you do such a foolish thing?"
"That's right. We can just slowly sort out our own problems. Why would we have to throw old guys like us into jail? If people knew about this, they would laugh their heads off!"
