Chapter 3: The son of the Minister of Rites is actually a cleavage-sleeve cleaver!

In the past, Shen Yun's pressure was too great, and Shen Su didn't even bother to ask why. He just knelt down in front of his mother's tablet.

"Kang'er, Dad is old."

Shen Xu was worried. "Kang'er" was his nickname, but since he was a child, only his mother had called him that when she was alive, and she even said that she was old...

"Dad, you are in your prime." Shen Yun is only forty-five years old this year, so he can't be called old in any way.

Shen Yun shook his head and put his hand on his wife's tablet. "I don't know if Dad can move on in this life. Our family's future depends on you."

A fourth-rank official is not a small position, but it is really nothing in this capital city.

"Dad, don't scare me..." Shen Xu felt that what his father said tonight was like instructions for his funeral.

Shen Yun knew what his son was thinking and said unhappily, "Don't worry, I won't die anytime soon."

"Then why are you suddenly saying this?"

"As a brother, you have to protect your sister. If you don't make a name for yourself, how can you protect Manman?"

Full of supernatural powers, if someone finds out...

The daughter of a fourth-rank official in the Dali Temple was too inconspicuous and too fragile in the capital.

In this world, women cannot hold official positions, and the status of their fathers and brothers is the dignity of their daughters.

Although he didn't know why his father suddenly brought up these things, since it concerned his sister, Shen Su still said seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."

Shen Su was ten years old when his mother passed away. At that time, his mother held his hand and told him to study hard, take care of his health, and protect his younger sister. He always kept these words in his heart.

"Don't blame me for being partial. Manman is a girl. In this world, it's harder for women to survive than men. And they can't be officials. It's inevitable that I love her more."

"Dad, Manman is my sister, and we share the same mother. You should be nice to her, so why blame me?"

Shen Yun nodded and helped his son up. "Go back. I'm sorry to call you here so late at night and delay your time with Yingniang."

Shen Su's face turned red immediately. He bowed to his father and left.

After his son left, Shen Yun did not leave. Instead, he sat down on the ground very casually and spoke to the tablet, as if his wife was still there.

"Yan'er, are you worried about Manman being deceived by bad people down there, so you want to let her hear the bad people's thoughts?

I am not qualified to be a father. I beat Manman without asking clearly. Are you upset down there? Wait until I find you, and you can beat Manman back.

Manman looks more and more like you, as beautiful as you were when you were young. Yan'er, you left too early.

Speaking of this, Shen Yun couldn't help but wet his eyes. He and his wife grew up together as childhood sweethearts. After he passed the imperial examination at the age of 20, the two got married. Later, he passed the imperial examination and was first sent out to serve as an official, and then came to the capital.

When his wife passed away, Manman was only four years old. After she passed away, Manman cried every day and every night, and no one could comfort him. Only when he was with his father could he sleep peacefully.

At that time, he took his daughter to bed every night, and the first thing he did after returning from duty during the day was to coax the child. He refused all invitations from colleagues. This matter was heard by the emperor.

Over the years, many people advised him to remarry. His parents in his hometown also wrote to him asking him to remarry, but he pretended not to see or hear any of them.

In this life, having Yan'er is enough for him.

After listening to Shen Yun's words, Shen Yuan stayed at home obediently the next day and did not go anywhere. He went out of the yard to find his sister-in-law and eat and drink with her.

While Shen Yun was preparing for Minister Li to come looking for him, he also wanted to investigate the affairs of the second son of the Wang family. However, he really didn't know where to start when it came to the matter of cutting off sleeves.

Shen Yun did not wait for Minister Li, but Shen Yuan waited for Minister Li's wife at home.

Mrs. Li came to visit and was received by He Ying. As soon as she arrived, she said she wanted to look for Shen Yuan. Although He Ying didn't know what she wanted, she saw that she had a smile on her face and thought she had no bad intentions, so she asked someone to call him.

When Shen Yuan heard that Madam Li was coming, he thought she was coming to call him to task.

I walked to the front hall nervously, and before I could finish the ceremony, I was hugged.

"Good child, I am so sorry for you." Mrs. Li wanted to say something and looked at the maids around her.

He Ying understood and took the maids out, leaving the place to the two of them.

"Good boy, thanks to you for telling my daughter Xuan'er! That Wang is really a traitor!"

Speaking of this now, Madam Li is still gritting her teeth, wishing she could eat the entire Wang family alive.

That day her daughter came home crying. It took her a long time to ask the question before she finally got the answer. Her first thought was that she didn't believe it.

But later, she discussed it carefully with her parents-in-law and felt that there was no reason for them to make up such a lie, especially after hearing from her daughter that Shen Yuan was just a little girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage. There was even less reason for them to make up such a lie.

She immediately asked the servants to call her husband back. Her husband knew a lot about official affairs. He said that the Shen family and the Wang family had never had much friendship or grudges against each other, so they had no right to make up lies.

This matter concerns their daughter's life, and they cannot let it go even if there is a slight possibility that it is true.

When they got engaged, their family sent people to inquire about the matter. They all said that the second son of the Wang family was very chaste and self-disciplined. Not only did he not have any concubines, he didn't even have a pretty maid around him. He only had a bunch of servants.

Now think about it, it’s not right that I don’t even have a maid!

Minister Li was a man with a hot temper. He took people to Wang's house that night to look for the servant who had gone out with Wang Yuanxiu, the second son of the Wang family, that day.

Minister Wang and his wife did not know what had happened, but when their relative-in-law came and wanted to question a servant, they had no reason to stop him, so they called the man over immediately.

But Wang Yuanxiu lost his temper. Before Minister Li asked anything, he rushed in and wanted to take the person away.

Now his three points of suspicion became five points, and he immediately dragged the man away for a physical examination. He heard that if a person with a homosexual fetish had sex with a man, the sensation of that place would be different from that of an ordinary man, so when he came, he also brought a doctor from the mansion.

Wang Yuanxiu naturally didn't want to see his beloved servant being taken away, and he didn't even care that Minister Li was his future father-in-law.

Minister Li was born a military officer, and couldn't bear to see them arguing and hesitating, so he grabbed the man, walked behind the screen and took off his clothes.

There is no need to look at the clothes after they are taken off. The boy's body is covered with blue and purple marks. As an experienced person, who wouldn't be able to tell what's going on?

Even Minister Wang, who was following over, couldn't help but blush when he saw it.

Looking at the servant with marks all over his body, and then looking at Wang Yuanxiu who looked like he was protecting his beloved, there was nothing unclear about this matter.

Minister Li immediately said that the two families should cancel the engagement. Minister Wang and his wife wanted to make excuses, saying that their son had reformed and that it was the servant who seduced them. However, Minister Li was so angry that he would not listen to them. He kicked Wang Yuanxiu to the ground and stepped on him.

He said, "If you don't agree to cancel the engagement, then Wang Yuanxiu will be dismissed." Shangshu Wang and his wife were already in a bad mood, and now they dared not say anything and had to agree to cancel the engagement.
