Chapter 633: Madam Shen’s ambition!
Capital
"Princess, the news that Shen Lanxi has died from her injuries is true." The nanny handed the letter to Zhou Xinrou.
"Dead?"
"No."
Zhou Xinrou took the letter and read it, still feeling doubtful.
After a moment of contemplation
"Take the letter to the Shen family."
The nanny looked at her carefully, and seeing that she did not hesitate, she immediately went to do it.
The letter went through many twists and turns and was finally delivered to Old Madam Shen.
"Mother, there's news from Dongchuan."
Everyone in the world knew that Shen Lanxi was seriously injured. The old lady heard about it not long after the news came back.
"You brothers are here, tell me what you think." Old Madam Shen had already made the worst-case scenario plan in her mind, and now that she finally knew the news, she could still accept it.
Seeing that his three brothers were silent, Shen Congyi cursed them inwardly for being useless.
"Mother, we are all sad and upset about Lan Xi's accident. But now is not the time to be sad."
Shen Congli glanced at his fourth brother and followed up with, "Mother, what my fourth brother said makes sense. Although Lan Xi is gone, our whole family is still here, so we should think about the future as soon as possible."
"Brother, is Lan Xi really in trouble?" Shen Conglian was a little unconvinced. How could such a powerful person die?
Even if others died, he didn't believe that Shen Lanxi would die.
Shen Congwen sighed: "It's true, the news came back from Dongchuan, I believe that all the officials in the court have already known about it."
Madam Shen: "I called you here to discuss what to do next. Who will go and bring Lan Xi back."
Shen Congyi glanced at his mother. Who would care about a dead emperor?
The most important thing now is who should be in charge of the court.
"Brother, Lan Xi is in trouble and the court is leaderless. All officials will definitely come to our house to discuss countermeasures." Shen Congyi thought that the capable young people in the family were not at home, while they, the elders, were still young and strong.
If they were in charge of the Great Zhou, it would not be impossible.
Shen Congyi glanced at Shen Congwen's legs for a few seconds, then moved his eyes to his second brother and the other two.
The three younger brothers in the family, including the eldest brother and the second brother, are all in the army, and only his family has no one in charge of military power.
Thinking of this, Shen Congyi's eyes darkened and darkened.
Shen Congwen thought about it and hesitated for a long time before saying, "We should discuss this matter with the princess."
Mrs. Shen's face showed undisguised disappointment.
His daughter was the emperor, so his own status naturally rose.
She's just a princess of the former dynasty. What's there to be afraid of?
He used to respect Zhou Xinrou because he was afraid of the late emperor, and then he was afraid of Shen Lanxi. Now that both of them are gone, what is he afraid of?
"Boss, a married woman should obey her husband. We are discussing important matters. What does a woman who is sick all day and never goes out know?" Old Madam Shen scolded.
Shen Congwen always felt uneasy and uneasy.
"Mother, I think we should ask the princess to come over to discuss this. She is from a royal family and has a wide range of knowledge. She will definitely have some good ideas."
Old Madam Shen looked at her son with disappointment, wondering how could she have given birth to such a useless son.
In the past, he was afraid of the royal family, and they admitted that. Who doesn't fear the royal family?
Later he was afraid of his daughter, and later they also figured it out. Who wouldn't be afraid of that killer who didn't care about his relatives and turned against them right away?
Now that the two people he feared the most were gone, what was he afraid of?
"Son, how can you be so timid?"
"How can you achieve anything great like this?"
When Shen Congwen heard the words "achieve great things", his heart skipped a beat.
No way? Could it be that my mother was thinking?
"Mother, you absolutely can't do this. As subjects, we should just abide by our duties. How can we..." He didn't have the courage to say the word "treason".
Old Madam Shen had a gloomy face, as if venting her anger, and said gloomily: "Before, we were humbled by Shen Lanxi, and she didn't respect me as her grandmother at all. If it weren't for the Shen family and for you, would I be able to speak to her in a nice tone?"
When Shen Congwen heard that his mother had such heavy resentment in her heart, he lowered his head in shame.
"Mother, I'm sorry."
Madam Shen sneered and said, "What's wrong with that? If you want to blame someone, blame Shen Lanxi for being disobedient and unfilial. We are all poor people who are bullied by her."
"She deserved what she has now. Fortunately, she also helped our Shen family find a future. After we have dealt with the affairs in the capital, you can ask someone to bring her body back to Dongchuan."
"Death will clear all debts. Although she was disobedient and unfilial, she did bring us back from Dongchuan."
"As an elder, I will make the decision and let her merits and demerits offset each other. After we bring her back, we will bury her on the small hill outside our Shen family!"
Regarding this arrangement, some of Shen Congwen and the other three frowned, some wanted to refute, some were worried, and some were looking forward to it with joy.
"Mother, Shen Lanxi is an emperor after all. After she dies, she will definitely be buried in the imperial mausoleum."
Madam Shen said with a dark face: "She is an abandoned woman, and she still wants to be buried in the imperial mausoleum? Ask others if there is such a rule?"
"In the past, abandoned women were buried in mass graves or thrown into the wilderness. Burying her on a hill in the suburbs is already a courtesy to her."
Shen Conglian had a strange look in his eyes. How come they were talking about where to bury the dead?
Can Shen Lanxi be manipulated by them?
Not much, Shen Lanxi is dead.
But~
Even if Shen Lanxi died, could the Shen family manipulate her body at will?
Is the mother overthinking it?
"Mother, you two can discuss this first. I will go to Mr. Ruohua to ask the officials in the court what they think."
Before Madam Shen could say anything, Shen Conglian had already run away.
Liu also wanted to call him back, but it was too late. Shen Conglian had already run away.
"Mother, you also know that the princess took us to the court before."
"She is not on the same page with us."
Shen Congyi thought of Zhou Xinrou's appearance at that time, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.
Old Madam Shen glanced at her fourth son. She knew exactly what this son was thinking.
"When Lan Xi does things, she must be planning for Yuan Jing. You are planning for the child in your own room. Naturally, we are not on the same page."
Shen Congyi felt that this sentence was like a slap in his face for the rest of his life.
Madam Shen said confidently: "This world now belongs to our Shen family. Shen Lanxi, a woman, can become the emperor. The men of our Shen family will definitely do better than her."
Shen Congwen still looked hesitant.
"Mother, let's call the princess to discuss this!"
Old Madam Shen was furious and started scolding her eldest son.
"How could you be so useless? Why did I give birth to such a useless son like you? I wanted you to be the emperor, but you always ask a woman for everything. You might as well stop being the emperor and let her be the emperor."
Shen Congli started to complain as soon as he opened his mouth: "Lan Xi shouldn't have gotten into trouble at this time. It would have been better if she had issued a decree of succession when she went to Dongchuan!"
