Chapter 667: Your Majesty, do you want to distance yourself from the Shen family?
There was no younger generation in the Shen family who was not afraid of Shen Lanxi. When they heard that they were under house arrest in the palace, they immediately began to reflect on their mistakes.
The news that Shen Conglian went to the Gao family to question them quickly spread.
No one knew what the result of the discussion was. Shen Conglian stayed in Gao's house for more than two hours. When he came out, he had changed his mind.
"My Shen family and the Gao family have just started to get in touch. A daughter of one family is sought after by hundreds of families. There is no engagement, no marriage certificate, so it is normal for Miss Gao to get in touch with any man."
Is this normal?
That’s the Shen family.
In the hearts of the people, the Shen family is the royal family. The Gao family dared to fool the royal family, are they trying to save their lives?
Besides, His Majesty has not yet appointed a crown prince, and Shen Chengfeng is a hot candidate, which means he is the future crown prince and the future king of a country.
How dare the Gao family do that?
The scholar was taken to the Shen family, but nothing was said. Now the whole city was watching them. Even if the scholar fell down on the street, the people might think it was the Shen family who did it.
At this time, the scholar must be well.
Gao Mingyue must be well too.
~
"The Gao family agreed that once the storm has passed, Gao Mingyue will be sent to the temple to atone for her sins by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures for the rest of her life." Some other things were promised, but those promises could not be said in front of Shen Emei.
Shen Chengfeng and Shen Emei listened obediently. Being confined to the palace was more serious than breaking one of their legs.
"That scholar was not instructed by anyone. It's all a coincidence." Shen Conglian couldn't understand how such a coincidence could happen, and he couldn't find any human clues.
All clues point to coincidence.
"That scholar, stay in the capital for the time being. When the storm has passed, drive him out of the capital and never take the imperial examination again in your life." Shen Conglian wanted to teach this scholar a lesson, but he couldn't resist the laws of the Great Zhou.
Killing someone means paying with your life!
He doesn't remember the other laws, but only this one.
The man in the palace is cruel and ruthless, he can't joke with his own life.
"I'm tired too. Your father will be back in two days. Let them punish you!"
"I'm sure if they leave you, you will be convinced!"
He didn't want to be a bad guy. Looking at Shen Emei's expression, even if he wanted to, the evil creature would definitely not listen.
After Shen Emei left, Shen Conglian looked at his grandson with a distressed look on his face.
"Chengfeng, when your father comes back, your grandfather will go to the palace with your father and ask His Majesty to grant you a marriage."
"Let's ask His Majesty to find you a good one. Someone like Gao Mingyue is not worthy of my grandson."
It was all because of that person who delayed his grandson's wedding, turning his grandson into a widower without his wife.
Fortunately, with their family's current status, even if he becomes a widower, he is still a popular candidate in the capital.
The Shen family incident had just been settled for two days when the three sons of the Shen family returned to the capital one after another.
The first to arrive was Shen Yuanhao, followed two days later by Shen Yuanxu, and Shen Yuanjing arrived on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year.
They all came back before the New Year.
This time they were going to stay in the capital, so the three of them brought their families back with them.
Miao's grandson was standing next to her. The family was filled with joy to welcome Shen Yuanhao's return, but they did not expect to see a family of four.
Miao turned her head to look at her grandson who was standing beside her without saying a word, and sighed silently.
Look at those two kids, they are not much younger than Shen An.
Shen Yuanhao returned home and first settled the people he brought back, then took the woman and two children to confess his crime to his parents.
The family of four knelt on the ground before they opened their mouths.
"Father and mother, Lian'er is the daughter of a farmer living on the border. When my son went up the mountain to suppress bandits, he fell into a trap set by the bandits. It was Lian'er who saved my life. Lian'er is a good woman, and my son must not let her down."
When Miao heard that her son's life had been on the verge of death, her disdain for Lian'er's background immediately faded halfway.
Shen Congli sat aside with a cold face, saying nothing.
Miao looked at Lian'er and the children around her and said softly, "You should get up first!"
When Shen Yuanhao stood up, he did not forget to help Lian'er up.
"Have you written to His Majesty to tell him about your marriage?"
What Miao was most worried about was that he had kept it a secret even from his family and definitely hadn't told the palace.
Sure enough, she was right.
"Mother, I didn't tell His Majesty."
In the letter, Miao did not dare to tell her son much about the situation in the capital, for fear that he would worry.
Now that he has returned to Beijing, there are some things that he naturally needs to know.
"Send Lian'er and her son back first, then come and talk to us!"
Shen Yuanhao turned his head and saw that Lian'er and the child were looking at him with nervous eyes, so he immediately smiled and comforted them.
The world is peaceful now anyway, so what could be more dangerous than the previous chaos?
Shen Yuanhao returned soon.
"Your Majesty hasn't summoned the younger generation to the palace for a long time. The child at home was clamoring to go to the palace to play. I sent the message several times, but was always blocked by the subordinates."
Shen Yuanhao's heart tightened, and he suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before.
"Is it possible that Your Majesty is not the Queen Mother's son?"
Miao was so scared that her face turned pale.
"Hush, is that something you can say? Take it back now, take it back."
Shen Yuanhao's face also turned ugly.
"Even if it's not, it has to be, do you understand?" Miao sternly warned her son.
Shen Yuanhao's eyes flashed and he nodded silently.
Only because Your Majesty was born to the Queen Mother, you are related to the Shen family.
"Your family has no objection to your marriage with Lian'er. His Majesty has said before that men of the Shen family do not take concubines. You should think carefully about this."
Shen Yuanhao was silent for a moment and then said, "My son will go to the palace later to explain to His Majesty that he will marry Lian'er in a formal way."
Miao murmured quietly, "That Lian'er has a poor family background, but An'er is not young anymore. We can find him a wife with a family background of equal status, who will be able to help him in the future."
Shen Yuanhao nodded with some difficulty.
Originally, His Majesty had already said that the three brothers should enter the palace together. Because of Shen Yuanhao's marriage, he could only submit a memorial to the palace first, and then listen to the summons.
It was the New Year's Day and the palace was busy. Shen Lanxi took some time to order some rewards and asked the white-faced eunuch to deliver them to the Shen family.
"Your Majesty has been very busy these past few days. He has been discussing state affairs with ministers until midnight every day. He really can't spare any time."
"Your Majesty said that she has taken Lord Shen Yuanhao's matter to heart. Lord Shen's marriage is decided only by the elders of the Shen family."
"The previous statement that men of the Shen family are not allowed to take concubines is abolished from today!"
"This is the reward from His Majesty to Lord Shen Yuanhao. When His Majesty is done with these few days of work, summon Lord Shen Yuanhao."
The other members of the Shen family had gotten used to it, except Shen Yuanhao, who felt a little uneasy.
What important matter is it that makes you so busy that you don’t even have time to see him or say a few words?
Your Majesty, are you going to treat the Shen family coldly and distance yourself from them?
Why?
Aren’t they relatives?
