Chapter 601 Shen Shengyun's Plan

Shen Shengyun looked at Shen Yu's receding back. Although he felt sad, he soon cheered up.

Now is not the time to be sad, she has more important things to do.

Not long after Shen Yuyuan left the Shen Mansion in anger, Shen Ping appeared in Shen Shengyun's courtyard.

Shen Ping felt that his mother seemed to have changed since returning to the capital.

She was no longer as gentle as before. Now, the mother was full of hostility. Sometimes Shen Ping even felt that she was very strange.

"Mom, is Shen Yuyuan really my uncle?" Shen Ping knew that his mother had always been reluctant to mention things in the capital, but since Shen Yuyuan had mentioned it today, Shen Ping also wanted to know some facts.

Shen Shengyun didn't expect that Shen Ping, who had always been respectful to him, would suddenly ask such a question.

She was a little angry at first, but when she saw Shen Ping's inquiring eyes, she finally sighed and nodded: "Yes, he is your uncle, and also my biological brother."

After hearing what Shen Shengyun said, Shen Ping simply sat down: "Mother, since you have the Shen family behind you, why did you leave the capital at that time? What is my father's identity?"

"You don't need to ask more about these things." Now that the Cui family has a special status, Shen Shengyun naturally will not tell him the identity of his son.

Yes, the man who eloped with Shen Shengyun twenty years ago was Concubine Xian De’s father, Prime Minister Cui Wen.

At that time, he just thought Shen Shengyun was beautiful, so he had this idea.

Of course, to him, it was just a game.

He had never thought of marrying Shen Shengyun. At that time, Shen's father was just a small official of the fourth rank. How could Cui Wen look down on him?

Later, in order to control the Shen family, he hid Shen Shengyun.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shengyun was such a sentimental guy, he held on to me and refused to let go.

Later, he was left with no other options, so he staged a big drama of eloping and hid Shen Shengyun.

At that time, Cui Wen had no idea that the Cui family would reach such a state in the future.

I didn't expect that it was Shen Shengyun who left the only bloodline for the Cui family.

Shen Shengyun would naturally not consider so much. In her eyes, the reason why Cui Wen married was because he was forced by his family, and she could understand that.

After all, he said that he would only love himself in this life.

She also knew that Cui Wen had sent people to protect her over the years, so he naturally had her in his heart.

But she had not been in the capital before, so she had no idea about the Cui family’s property being ransacked.

But of course, she also missed Cui Wen who suddenly lost contact.

She had never thought about it herself. If Cui Wen really cared about her and her son, then why had he not given her some financial support over the years?

Why didn't he want to bring Shen Ping to Beijing to study?

It's just to avoid suspicion.

He thought that both mother and son were a disgrace to him.

As the prime minister, he would naturally not admit such a shameful past.

Shen Shengyun didn’t know all this. She didn’t want to think about it, nor did she want to think about it. She only wanted to and would only believe that Cui Wen loved her.

Only after entering the capital did Shen Shengyun realize that the Cui family had been uprooted by the Emperor of Great Chu.

How could she not hate?

The lover she had been thinking about all her life was murdered just like that.

She swore that she would avenge him.

It was at this time that a maidservant of Concubine Xian De came to the door.

It was Bai Ling.

She said that she wanted to cooperate with Shen Shengyun to completely eradicate those who harmed Cui Wen from the court.

The first person they wanted to attack was naturally Lord Rong, the Minister of History.

Bai Ling's request was to let Shen Shengyun come forward and sue the historian Rong for treason as the son of the newly crowned top scholar.

This is the most trustworthy way.

"No!" Before Bai Ling could finish her words, Shen Shengyun stopped her.

Although she wanted to avenge Cui Wen, and although she hated the Emperor of Chu, she also hated the officials around him.

But she would never ruin her own son's future because of this matter.

Shen Ping is the most important person to her.

In other words, Cui Wen’s bloodline is the most important thing to her.

What's more, for so many years, Shen Ping got up early and studied hard in order to have a better future, and Shen Shengyun saw it all.

She would definitely not destroy her son for anyone.

As if she had expected Shen Shengyun to react like this, Bai Ling chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Shen. Shen Ping is the only blood of my Cui family now. I will not harm him."

"Master Rong, the historian of the imperial court, has been convicted of treason and collusion with the enemy. Our people have already found evidence. We only need someone to sue him in front of you."

"It would be most appropriate for the upright and honest new champion, the Imperial Secretary Shen, to file the lawsuit."

"This way, we can also seek a better future for Lord Shen."

Bai Ling was an eloquent person, and after her words of consolation, Shen Shengyun finally wavered.

"Will this matter really not affect Shen Ping?" Living in the countryside for so many years has made her a little more cautious.

But soon, she was lost in Bai Ling's sweet words.

"Madam, rest assured. I am from the Cui family and I must protect the bloodline of the Cui family."

Shen Shengyun finally nodded and agreed to what Bai Ling said.

In her eyes, this matter could improve Shen Ping's status in Beijing and in official circles.

Secondly, it can avenge Cui Wen, which is killing two birds with one stone.

But after all, she had not been in the capital for a long time, so she didn't know Cui Wen, nor did she know Concubine De, and she didn't know Bai Ling as a person.

Bai Ling is a person who is devoted to Concubine De.

No matter whether it is the Third Prince, the Sixth Princess, or the current Fifth Prince, in her eyes, they are nothing more than tools for her to avenge Concubine De.

Coming back to his senses from his memories, Shen Shengyun looked at Shen Ping in front of him, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

After all, my child is obedient and sensible.

"Now, you just need to do the things that your mother has given you."

"Mom, please stop interfering in official affairs!" Shen Ping came forward to sue Lord Rong this time, and it was indeed partly because of the influence of his mother.

He didn't agree at first.

It's because he trusts Lord Rong's character.

It was also because he was familiar with Rong Wenmiao, he knew what kind of person she was, and naturally he trusted her father unconditionally.

Lord Rong would never do such a thing as treason.

But I didn't expect that my mother would threaten my life and even said that there was evidence that Rong had colluded with the enemy and committed treason.

It was his mother who handed the evidence to him personally.

Shen Ping was a little confused for a moment and he didn't know what to do.

After being bored at home for a few days, Shen Ping finally agreed to his mother's request.

But he also told his mother that this was only the first time and there would never be a next time.
