Chapter 214 Incident

Shen Xi's wedding date was September 26th. Shen Xi, He Ying and Shen Yun hurried over and finally arrived in Jinling on the afternoon of the 23rd.

Shen Yun held onto his waist when he got off the carriage. Shen Yuan quickly stepped forward to support her father, and Shen Si also quickly reached out his hand, "Hey, second brother, are you okay?"

Shen Yun waved his hands, "It's okay, I've been sitting for too long, just move around."

After Shen Su got off the carriage and greeted his family, he went to talk with Shen Duan. The two brothers were whispering to each other about something.

"Yingniang, is Suisui being looked after by a wet nurse now?" Old Lady Shen took her granddaughter-in-law aside to talk to her. After asking a few questions about the journey, she started asking about the child again.

"No, he was sent to my house. My mother is watching him, and the nurse is with him."

The child is still too young to be taken on the road. And since there is no one at home, I naturally feel uneasy leaving her at home, so I simply send her back to her parents' home and let her mother take care of her for a while.

"Will the child cry if he leaves you?"

He Ying shook her head. She was still a little frustrated. This child is the same whether her mother is around or not. She will laugh no matter who teases her.

"I sent the child there two days in advance. He only cried when he was hungry, but not at other times."

Mrs. Shen said, "This is your blessing. You can now free your hands to do your own things."

"Fortunately, this child looks like Manman, but his personality is different. Manman might have been naughty when he was a child."

Shen Yuan felt embarrassed to have his childhood secrets exposed even though he was already grown up. He complained, "Dad, why are you talking about this? It happened so many years ago."

"Yes, yes, it's your father who is wrong. We are all grown up, why are you still bringing up the past? Let your uncle help you beat him up."

As Shen Si spoke, he reached out and patted his brother on the back twice. Shen Yun was speechless. Manman is so old already, and his elder brother is still here coaxing a child.

"You should take a good rest today. We will go to worship together tomorrow. It has been a while since our family has been so well-gathered. Our ancestors will be happy to see us."

At today's dinner, even Shen Yuan had some wine in his glass. The family was reunited and they were really happy. It was a good opportunity for everyone to have a couple of drinks together. Shen Yuan, Shen Xi and He Ying drank fruit-brewed wine, so they didn't have to worry about getting drunk.

"Brother Yu has lost so much weight that I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him today. You must have worked hard. Second uncle offers a toast to you."

Shen Duan did not say that he was tired, but only said, "It's very sunny there."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Old Madam Shen spoke first, "He's planning to put down roots there, and he doesn't even think about getting married. I think he's probably going to be single."

Although the old lady compromised and was no longer in a hurry to find a wife for her grandson, she was still angry in her heart. She couldn't understand why her good son didn't want to get married.

Shen Si said, "Oh, mother, didn't we agree not to talk about this? Brother Yu has his own plans."

Shen Yuan quickly talked about other things and asked her father: "Dad, how many days of leave did you take this time? When will you be back?"

"I will leave on the 27th, but I won't go back to Beijing directly. There is a case, and the emperor asked me to go to Qingzhou on the way. Then Su'er and Yingniang will go back together. Manman, you and grandmother don't have to worry. It's okay to leave a few days later, and you can go slowly on the road."

"Case? A case that just happened?"

The whole family looked at Shen Yun, so Shen Yun put down his chopsticks and said, "This case happened a few years ago. It was originally closed, but it was brought up again recently, so the emperor ordered the Dali Temple to review it again."

Shen Yun was not in a position to say much about the case, especially since it concerned the newly crowned top scholar. The court required that nothing should be disclosed until the matter was concluded.

After all, he was appointed by the emperor himself, and the court would lose face if anything happened. Of course, if it is finally found out that he has indeed committed a crime, he will be dealt with accordingly.

Not long ago, someone came to the capital from Minzhou and sued the newly crowned top scholar in Jingzhao Prefecture, accusing him of robbery, murder and abducting their granddaughter.

The Jingzhao Prefecture did not dare to delay and immediately detained the person and then went to the palace to report to the emperor.

The Dali Temple also reviewed the Li family case in Qingzhou Prefecture and found no problems. However, since the victim has come to sue, we have to investigate it again for the sake of caution.

——The capital city.

Li Enhua finally met his grandparents and uncle. Now they were arranged to live in Jingzhao Prefecture and could not move around freely.

Li Enhua had been waiting since the day she sent the letter, and finally her wait came. One day, someone from Jingzhao Prefecture came to her house and said they had something to ask her, and then she met her grandparents and uncle in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Regarding the Li family's lawsuit, the most important thing is to find out two things. One is whether the Li family's case is related to Xu Heng, and the other is whether the current Xu Ying is the real Xu Ying.

The second thing was not difficult. Many people in Qingzhou had met Xu Ying and Li Enhua. Xu Heng had already accepted this matter. When Li Enhua lost her memory, he did not want to marry Li Enhua, so he came up with this idea.

After the incident, Li Enhua also met Xu Heng, who was now under solitary custody.

The high spirits of the newly crowned third place scholar are no longer seen, and what remains is only desolation.

When he saw Li Enhua, Xu Heng said to her, "Enhua, whether you believe it or not, I really didn't do what happened to your family. I do despise the poor and love the rich, but I'm not a beast."

"Whether you did it or not, the government will investigate."

"I'm sorry to you and Yingying. When I first knew something happened in your family, I immediately rushed back from the city. You probably don't remember what happened at that time, right? It was your nanny who found me. At that time, you fell off a cliff and were unconscious. I took you to the hospital in the city for treatment and went back to find Yingying. Later, I heard that Miss Li was also dead. I was very surprised at the time and secretly went to see the body. Yingying is my sister. Even if her face was completely unrecognizable, I could recognize her."

When talking about his sister, Xu Heng shed tears, but he did not wipe them away. He just continued to talk about what happened at that time. "At that time, I had already passed the imperial examination. The teacher said that with my talent, I would definitely pass the examination. I also thought that I would have a bright future in the future."

"The Li family is just a merchant family, so you don't think much of my marriage, right?"

"Yes, actually I am such a person at heart. I'm sorry."

"You could have just called off the engagement, why did you do this... deceive me, deceive everyone."

"Your family just had an accident, how could I cancel the engagement? It just so happened that I found that you forgot everything after waking up, and you asked me who I was. For some reason, I told you that I am your brother."

Li Enhua suppressed his anger and asked one last question, "What would you do if I didn't remember?"

But Xu Heng did not answer the last question, but turned around.

"Go away and don't come to see me anymore."
