Chapter 442: Evidence

"You unfilial son, I am your mother! Today your father has promoted me to be his legal wife, and you actually said that I was a concubine! Have you read so much? Where is your filial piety? Ah? If the county magistrate knew that you were such a person, I am afraid that your talent would be..."

Duan Lian'er hadn't finished his threatening words.

Shen Zhong's slap landed on her face.

"You lowly concubine! Shut up! You are just a concubine, not even the master, and yet you want to destroy my son. If anything happens to Hechi, I will make you live a life worse than death!" For the first time, Shen Zhong looked at Duan Lian'er with hatred.

The word "lowly concubine" has already determined Duan Lian'er's identity at this time.

It seemed to be saying that she was not yet the mistress of the Shen family.

Still a concubine.

Duan Lian'er covered his aching and burning cheek, completely panicking.

"Master, how dare I? I was wronged. You have to see clearly. How dare I steal someone? Even if I did, I would not steal such a lowly slave. He is no match for you. I am not stupid." Duan Lian'er was so flustered that her words were incoherent.

As a result, Shen Zhong's face became darker and darker.

"Who is guarding the back door? Bring him here." Shen Zhong said to the servant kneeling on the ground.

"Master, the person guarding the back door today is Ma Er, who just entered the mansion last year. I will bring him here now." The servant stood up and walked away backwards.

When he came again, he was accompanied by a short and thin man.

About seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Are you the one guarding the back door? Tell me, who left the house today? Did anyone see Xin'er?"

Shen Zhong narrowed his eyes.

Staring at Ma Er.

"Grandpa, little one, no, I dare not, I dare not say it." Ma Er seemed very timid.

He knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

He even stutters when he speaks.

But he side-glanced at Duan Lian'er.

This scene happened to be discovered by Shen Zhong. He also glanced at Duan Lian'er, then slapped his thigh and shouted, "Speak! I want to see who else you are afraid of besides me. I am here, so you can speak without worry."

"Master, I was guarding the back door today. I had to pee urgently, so I went to the toilet. When I came back, I found that you were carrying someone out. I couldn't see who it was, but I knew that the woman on his shoulders was wearing a light yellow skirt.

I felt it was strange and wanted to go out to see what was happening. As a result, I saw Guige throwing the woman into the carriage through the crack of the door. In the blink of an eye, the carriage had left and Guige came in. He threatened me, saying that if I dared to tell anyone about this, his wife would sell me to a kiln in Lin County.

Guige said that there are many homosexuals there, and if I was sold there, I would be tortured half to death. I am afraid of Guige, and even more afraid of Madam. Madam always helps Guige, so I dare not tell this to you. I know I am wrong, please forgive me, I don’t want to go to the kiln. "

Ma Er cried as he spoke.

It looks so pitiful.

He kowtowed several times.

After a while, his forehead turned red.

"Brother Gui? How dare you call him brother when he's just a servant? You beast! How dare you stir up trouble in my house? He's nothing! Someone, throw this traitorous slave Gui to the mountains outside the city and let him be eaten by wild dogs and wolves! I heard that those whose bodies are not intact after death will never be reincarnated in this life. I will turn him into ashes!"

Shen Zhong's eyes became redder and redder.

After giving orders to the servants, he turned and glared at Duan Lian'er.

"You are really great!" Shen Zhong now believes that it was Duan Lian'er who asked Agui to sell Xin'er.

Just because the maid accidentally spilled tea on her.

Such a mean person.

But he had been kept in the dark for so many years, and he recalled that He Chi had told him before that his wife who died young had a strange cause of death.

Suddenly, my head was spinning.

Sort all these things out.

The maid Xin'er offended Duan, so she sent her confidant to sell Xin'er, and then took advantage of her busy work in the front yard to have sex with her confidant Agui.

It was done without anyone noticing.

As for someone coming to call my daughter to the backyard to see the gifts.

It was probably some servant who had a grudge against the Duan family, who found out about this but didn't dare to file a complaint, so he came up with this idea.

But why invite guests?

Shen Zhong felt like he was about to lose all his face.

"Hechi, have the guests left?" he asked his only son in front of him.

"I have sent them away and warned them not to spread rumors. After all, I am a scholar and I am studying at Sanshan Academy. They dare not offend me. Don't worry, Dad. As long as they don't want to make enemies with our family, they will never dare to say anything nonsense."

Shen Hechi's words finally made Shen Zhong look better.

"Someone, bring the lady up here."

Shen Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and began to give orders to his servants.

He wants to get this matter cleared up.

We must find that slave.

He dared to embarrass him in front of everyone. This kind of slave cannot be kept.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Shen Zhuer came over with red eyes.

"Dad, my eldest brother bullied me. He didn't allow me to talk to mom and even had the servants lock me in the room." She complained to Shen Zhong as soon as she arrived.

If it were in the past, Shen Hechi would definitely be scolded.

It happened to be today.

Shen Zhong's emotions remained calm. Even when he saw his daughter's eyes were swollen like walnuts, he didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.

"Who told you to take us to the backyard just now?"

Shen Zhong's eyes looked straight at Shen Zhuer.

He asked in a cold tone.

"Dad...I, I really don't know. I don't even know him." It was the first time that Shen Zhuer saw her father with such an expression.

She shrank her neck in fear.

The man also took two steps back.

"Don't know? You, the servant in the mansion, are there any servants who don't know? What did he say? Tell me the truth! If you help your slutty concubine to lie, you and your mother will get out of the mansion together."

Shen Zhong slammed the table.

Shen Zhuer was so scared that she burst into tears.

Almost peed my pants.

"I, I don't know, Daddy, what's wrong with you? Why are you so mean to me? I'm Zhu'er. Daddy, don't you love me anymore? I, I said, that person told me that my mother had prepared a big gift for me and asked me to take Daddy with me. Then he left. I really don't know him, Daddy, I didn't lie."

Shen Zhuer still wants to make trouble.

But Shen Zhong's expression became increasingly cold.

She could only stammer and tell the truth.

"You said, that person only told you to take me with him?" Shen Zhong was stunned.

"Yes, Daddy, I, I didn't lie." Shen Zhuer thought her father didn't believe her.

"Then why did you ask me to take everyone to the backyard?" Shen Zhong continued to ask.

"I, I wanted to show them the gift mother prepared for me. I, I was wrong, Daddy, I shouldn't have lied." Shen Zhuer didn't understand the matters between men and women.

She thought Shen Zhong was angry because she lied.
