Chapter 746: Your brother's matter...
His own granddaughter had been taking care of his stepson's child for several years right under his nose, but he had no idea about it.
And if this matter gets out, he will probably not be able to hold his head up for a long time.
Gou Yingya asked anxiously, "Then you won't care about Erlang anymore?"
Sheng Pengchi hesitated for a while and was about to speak when he saw more than a dozen guards suddenly walk up to the Song family.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Sheng Shuwan?"
Sheng Shuwan nodded blankly: "It's me."
The leading guard said sternly, "Miss, the Ji family has received news that you have finished your confinement, and has sent subordinates to take you and your family back home for a reunion. Please get in the carriage, and we will escort you."
Sheng Shuwan was instantly delighted. "Okay, I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time."
After saying that, she turned and was about to leave.
Sheng Pengchi hurriedly said: "Awan, your brother's matter..."
Sheng Shuwan said, "Since we both have the surname Sheng, I will ask my uncle about the details of the matter, but it is impossible for me to plead for mercy."
Sheng Pengchi turned and left.
Gou Yingya chased after him unwillingly, "Master, Awan is too heartless. He is her own brother, and she actually treats him like this."
Sheng Pengchi said angrily, "Your son has feelings? He just came home and wanted to destroy his sister's innocence and kill her. How can you expect him to be soft-hearted? Isn't it because you and your son were too ruthless? Otherwise, wouldn't it have ended up like this today?"
Gou Yingya curled her lips. "Don't say my son didn't kill anyone. Even if he did, it's just one life. We are high-ranking officials who have done so many good things for the country and the people. Can't we forgive a small mistake made by our family?"
Sheng Pengchi glared at his wife fiercely. "Your opinion is just that of a woman. Haven't you heard that if the emperor breaks the law, he shall be punished just like the common people? You'd better swallow this and never mention it again. Otherwise, you will aggravate your son's crime and you will regret it later."
After saying that, he left.
Gou Yingya was angry but dared not say anything. When she saw her husband leave, she asked, "Where are you going?"
Sheng Pengchi said coldly, "Didn't you hear what they said just now? Let's go ask your good son again whether he lied to us!"
Gou Yingya's face turned pale.
Soon, Sheng Pengchi and Gou Yingya arrived at the prison.
Sheng Erlang, whose body was covered with scars, was lying weakly on the haystack.
Hearing footsteps, he looked at the door with numb eyes.
Seeing his parents coming, he immediately became energetic.
Sheng Erlang crawled to his parents using his hands and feet, crying, "Father, Mother, why haven't you cared about me lately? Look at me, I've become so thin, wuwuwu... wuwuwu..."
Seeing his son, a grown man, crying, Sheng Pengchi was extremely annoyed and said impatiently, "Enough, we didn't come here to listen to you cry. Tell me the truth, did you kill anyone?"
Sheng Erlang was stunned and looked at Gou Yingya in panic.
Gou Yingya gave her son a look.
No matter what, I can't admit it.
Sheng Pengchi saw his son looking at his wife, and saw his wife's strange eyes, and suddenly slapped Gou Yingya, "Foolish woman, it seems that what Song Chuman said is true, your son really killed someone!"
Seeing that the truth had been revealed and she had been beaten, Gou Yingya did not dare to complain and cried, "I... I just wanted to save my son. I didn't hide it from you on purpose. If I told you the truth, would you still run around like this for your son?"
