"Master...Chen, did you hear that? It was Shen Wenrui who harmed the young master. You must seek justice for him!" Wei Yaer looked at Shen Li with red eyes.
When Shen Li heard that it was the eldest grandson of the Shen family, his brows furrowed deeply.
After a long while, he slowly said, "I'll discuss this matter with my grandmother first."
"What is there to discuss? I have seen the condition of the young master. He has been burned so badly that not a single piece of skin remains. Even most of his face is destroyed. He is only five years old. What will he do in the future? That Shen Wenrui is simply committing murder on purpose..." Wei Yaer was very emotional.
Chen Li stopped her in a low voice: "Okay, Ya'er, Madam is still inside, and Xuan Ge'er has just fallen asleep. After I discuss this matter with my grandmother, I will definitely seek justice. You go in and look after Xuan Ge'er first, and I will go to see my grandmother!"
"I'm going too..."
Yang Zhao sat on the edge of the bed in the room, listening to the conversation outside, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Seek justice?
Would Shen Li offend the clan leader for the sake of a son? Would he allow the main courtyard to fall apart and become isolated?
Stop joking!
Mu Zhaiyuan.
After hearing the reason for Xuan'er's injury, the bedridden Mrs. Shen slammed the edge of the bed in anger. "That Shen Wenrui is just messing around!"
"Is he kidding? He is deliberately killing someone!" Wei Yaer said angrily with red eyes.
"Madam, you must seek justice for Xuan Ge'er and send that Shen Wenrui to see the authorities!"
"See the officer?"
Old Madam Shen was stunned, then frowned: "There is no need to see the officials for this matter. Our Shen family has just returned and is being watched everywhere. If we make a mistake, our Shen family will be in trouble." That is the grandson of the clan leader, and... the emperor had sent someone to warn her not long ago.
Wei Yaer bit her lip, a murderous look flashing in her eyes: "Then beat him to a pulp."
“Nonsense!”
Old Madam Shen scolded, "Every problem has a solution. How can you just say you want to cripple someone? Our Shen family is a family of scholars, not executioners. If your words get out, our Shen family's reputation will be ruined!"
"Sending him to the police is not an option, and beating him is not an option either. So, is my brother Xuan going to suffer in vain?"
"Ya'er!"
Shen Li said to Madam Liu, "Madam, please go to the door and guard it. Don't let anyone get close."
"yes."
After Aunt Liu left.
Shen Licai held Wei Yaer's hand and said, "Yaer, what grandma meant is that there are always other ways to seek justice for Xuan'er. Xuan'er's burns are a foregone conclusion. Even if we cripple Shen Wenrui or send him to the authorities, Xuan'er will not be able to recover, which will be very disadvantageous to our main courtyard."
Wei Yaer stared in disbelief: "Brother Chen, what do you mean? Could it be that my brother Xuan was injured in vain? You know who the murderer is and you don't hold him accountable?"
Shen Li gently comforted: "Don't worry, listen to me first..."
After coaxing Wei Yaer away.
Shen Li finally spoke to Old Madam Shen: "Grandmother, the matter of Shen Wenrui injuring Brother Xuan must be dealt with, but we cannot offend the clan leader too much. I'm afraid you will have to step in on this matter."
Old Madam Shen frowned with worry. "This matter is not easy to handle. You don't know. Back then, the clan leader's eldest grandson died of illness, and the second grandson drowned. This Shen Wenrui is the third grandson. There was originally another one, but because of the imperial decree of exile from His Majesty, the fourth grandson was forcibly taken away by officials as soon as he was born. Later, I heard that he died two days later on the way to the exile."
"Now that the clan leader has only this one legitimate grandson, he must be treated as important as the apple of his eye. Any punishment would offend the clan leader."
Shen Li frowned.
Madam Shen thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Let Ah Zhao handle this matter. When the time comes, you can explain it clearly to Ah Zhao and let her..."
"Madam, something happened!"
At this time, Madam Liu hurried in, glanced at Chen Li, and after seeing the old lady nod, she hurriedly said, "Mrs. Li just came to report that the Madam took people to the clan leader's house and arrested several children from various courtyards."
"What!"
Old Madam Shen was shocked.
Thinking of Yang Zhao's regard for Xuan Ge'er, Shen Li felt a bad premonition in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Grandma, quickly send someone to stop her. We must do it before she makes a move..."
At this time, the Shen family was in the courtyard.
"Yang Zhao, don't go too far. Let your people release my grandson..." The clan leader's wife, Mrs. Chen, was so angry that she opened her voice.
Yang Zhao brought enough people with him this time. As soon as he arrived, he tied up her grandson without saying anything.
Shen Wenrui was tied up tightly, but his face showed no fear. Instead, it was full of anger: "Let me go, bitch! My grandfather is the clan leader. If you dare to tie me up, he will never let you go..."
"beat!"
As soon as Yang Zhao uttered a word, a servant came forward quickly and slapped Shen Wenrui twice.
"ah!"
"Yang Zhao!"
Both Chen and Shen Wenrui's mother Xu shouted out loud, their eyes bloodshot and red with anger.
Yang Zhao said coldly, "Xuan Ge'er was adopted by me, so he is my son. No matter who hurt him, I will seek justice for him, take him away, and bring him before the authorities!"
Meet the official?
"You dare!"
Chen was furious: "Yang Zhao, if you dare to take my grandson away today, I will never let you go!"
"Oh!"
Yang Zhao sneered, "Which of your various courtyards' food, clothing, and other expenses isn't paid for by our main courtyard? Xuan Ge'er is the only legitimate son my husband and I have. You eat our main courtyard's food, yet you still want to kill our only legitimate son. Now you dare to threaten me? You really have no nerve!"
