Chapter 348: No descendants (1)
Three days later, the case of Chen Yuan's accidental killing of Sun Cainan came to an end. Sun Tianzheng wanted to avenge the tragic death of his only son, so Chen Yuan executed him at the Meridian Gate.
Countless people rushed to tell each other, all wanting to see how this young talent with a bright future could have ended up like this. Some felt sympathy for Chen Yuan, while others cursed Jing Chuchu for being a beauty who brought disaster upon herself. The clamor was surprisingly lively.
Chen Yuan probably never thought that this day would come. He was arrogant and wanted to climb up the social ladder, wanting everyone to see his achievements. But now he was being pointed at and criticized by those he considered "untouchables", and he must have felt extremely uncomfortable.
More people threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Shen Yuan, and the filth and stench covered Shen Yuan. It was obvious that they were from the Sun family. Shen Yuan knelt on the execution platform, with the executioner at his side. Normally, if the condemned prisoner had family members, they would come to see him off, feeding him food and wine, but today, no one from the Shen family came.
Needless to say, Shen Xin was already at loggerheads with the rest of the Shen family, so why would he even come? Shen Gui had always sought profit and avoided harm, and Ren Wanyun was even more insane. Old Madam Shen had difficulty walking, but even if she had, she probably wouldn't have come. The strange thing was that the usually gentle and righteous Third House hadn't shown up today either. I imagine they'd spent a long time weighing the pros and cons of being tactful and righteous versus offending the Sun family before making this decision.
Seeing the Shen family behave like this, others could only sigh.
Chen Yuan looked up. The blazing sun bathed Dingjing. It was clearly New Year's Day, the lingering chill of winter still lingered, yet the golden sunlight was as dazzling as summer. Noon had arrived. The executioner, spitting out a mouthful of wine, raised his demon-headed sword and chopped off the head!
The knife falls!
The crowd erupted in exclamations, the women covering their eyes in fear. The head rolled down the stage into the crowd, rolling for a moment before blood began to spill. On the ground, Chen Yuan's eyes were wide open, and he seemed slightly confused, as if this head, now separated from the body, would say something next.
Someone saw it, turned around quietly and disappeared into the crowd.
At this moment, the Shen Mansion was also dead silent.
It's not that it didn't happen just because it wasn't mentioned. Shen Yuan's death ultimately dealt a heavy blow to the Shen family. The Shen family's descendants weren't particularly prosperous, but Shen Yuan was a standout among them. Such a rare find, someone who might have held up the Shen family in the future, died so miserably under the executioner's sword. At least the people in the Shen family were heartbroken.
Shen Wan was sitting in the room when a servant came running in and said, "The execution has been carried out. The people at the execution ground have sent someone to send the second young master back."
The Sun family finally agreed to return Shen Yuan's body to the Shen family, which was already a huge concession. Although they did not openly fight with Sun Tianzheng and followed Sun Tianzheng's wishes in dealing with Shen Yuan, everyone knew that the Shen and Sun families would become enemies in the future, and the extent of the hatred would depend on it.
"After we bring him back, there's no need to keep the body in the coffin. The burial will be within a few days at the earliest." Shen Wan sighed, his mind heavy.
"Master, are you still worried about this?" Chen Ruoqiu walked over and said gently, "We can't do anything about Yuan'er's situation. After all, the Sun family is not an ordinary family."
"I just feel..." Shen Wan shook his head: "Everything is a little wrong, haven't you noticed?" Shen Wan said: "Recently, the Shen family seems to have had some bad luck, and accidents have happened one after another."
"Could it be something unclean?" Chen Ruoqiu was shocked.
Shen Wan was stunned: “What nonsense are you talking about.”
