After Feng Wenwen's husband recovered from his injuries, he actually wanted to divorce her with a letter of divorce.
The reason was that Feng Wenwen had not conceived in three years and was disrespectful to her husband.
This further enraged Feng Wenwen, who then beat her husband again, inflicting even more severe injuries than before.
Feng Wenwen's husband's family could no longer tolerate this. Her father-in-law was Ma Shi, the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince. So they submitted a petition to the Emperor, stating that they could not accept such a wicked daughter-in-law.
After learning the whole story, the Emperor believed that both of them were at fault and ultimately granted them a divorce.
After that, no one dared to marry Feng Wenwen.
Feng Wenwen's affair was widely publicized back then, and Shen Danru also heard about it.
She was still young at the time and was being trained in palace etiquette and rules by the palace governesses. She did not understand Feng Wenwen's actions at the time.
However, looking back now, she believes that Feng Wenwen did nothing wrong.
Feng Wenwen was only twenty years old when she returned from the Ma family; now she is a twenty-eight-year-old woman.
Mr. and Mrs. Feng are very old and worry every day about where their daughter will go after they pass away.
Although her older brother and sister-in-law are there, without their protection, her daughter will be helpless and vulnerable, and her brother and sister-in-law will inevitably make things difficult for her.
“My child, your grandfather and I studied together when we were young. He was originally a very good student, but I never expected him to choose the path of martial arts. This time when he returned to Shengjing, he praised you to me many times. After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary.”
Feng Zuo couldn't help but look at Shen Danru and had to admit that she was much more outstanding than his granddaughters.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that Heaven had been kind to Shen Shi, allowing him to finally recognize these outstanding descendants.
Shen Danru said modestly, "Grandpa Feng, you flatter me."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Shen Danru said, "Grandpa Feng, I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today."
Feng Zuo said kindly, "Child, go ahead, I'm alright now."
As Shen Danru stood up and walked out, she saw Feng Wenwen follow her out.
This is understandable, given that this matter involves her father.
If Feng Zuo hadn't been a good friend of her grandfather, she wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.
Duan Dong was also waiting outside. When Shen Danru saw him, she ordered, "Go and tie up that Manager Lü."
"yes."
Qingtan was worried that Duan Dong wouldn't be able to handle it, so she went along too.
To avoid disturbing the guests, Qingtan and Duan Dong carried the person directly to the backyard, followed by the three lazy waiters.
"Duan Dong, are you crazy? How dare you kidnap Manager Lü? Don't you know he's the boss's uncle?"
Shen Danru: Sure enough, she still managed to get involved.
"Manager Lü, tell me, why did you poison today's dishes?"
Manager Lü felt a pang of panic, but he didn't show it on his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many people in the kitchen, how can you prove that I poisoned them?"
"search."
The kitchen staff all followed Liu Yishou's instructions. They had seen Liu Yishou calling him "Master" repeatedly, but when Shen Danru gave the order, they immediately stepped forward and held down Manager Lü so that Duan Dong could search him.
The three young shop assistants wanted to step forward to help Manager Lü, but Feng Wenwen stopped them.
"Boss, we found a medicine packet on him."
Shen Danru opened it and smelled it; it was indeed this poison.
"Manager Lü, the evidence is now irrefutable. Do you have anything else to say? Name who instigated this, and I'll spare your life."
Manager Lü struggled to say, "So what if they found poison on me? Does that prove I poisoned you? I could say you did! How about I search you?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Danru with a lewd look.
"Even if I poison her, what can you do about it? My niece is the daughter of the Duke of Shen's family. Do you dare to touch me? Do you want to oppose the Duke of Shen's family?"
By this time, Shen Danru was certain that this person was Shen Xiaohua's uncle.
Qingtan kicked him: "Are you blind? Our young lady is the direct granddaughter of the Duke of Shen, how come I've never heard of you as her uncle?"
Manager Lü looked at Shen Danru with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"You...you...you, you are Shen Danru?"
He had heard Xiao Hua mention that the Shen family was now in the hands of Shen Danru, and it turned out that this person was Shen Danru.
“Speak, who is the mastermind behind this, or I’ll send you to see the authorities. As for your niece, Shen Xiaohua, Qingtan, find a servant to sell her off later.”
"You're selling Xiaohua? What gives you the right to sell Xiaohua? She's a law-abiding citizen, how can you just sell her like that?"
Shen Danru's gaze grew increasingly cold. She took out Shen Xiaohua's indenture and waved it in front of Manager Lü:
“I bought Shen Xiaohua for eighty taels of silver, and this is her indenture. If you can name the person behind this, I will spare your life and also spare Shen Xiaohua.”
Manager Lü knew he couldn't escape today, so he cautiously asked, "Do you mean what you say?"
“Make it count, say it.”
“It was the Ruyi Restaurant next door. The manager there gave me a hundred taels of silver to put some medicine in my food. Miss, I will never do it again. Please spare my worthless life.”
Manager Lü propped himself up and tried to crawl toward Shen Danru.
Feng Wenwen stepped forward, grabbed Manager Lü, and dragged him toward the officials.
Manager Lü pointed at Shen Danru and said, "How can you go back on your word? You said you would let me go."
"I can let you go, but the person who poisoned you is Hanlin Academician Feng. Do you think the Feng family will let you off the hook?"
Shen Danru's eyes were cold and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
Xiao Hua once said that her second sister was not simple. At first, he did not take it seriously. How could a woman cause any trouble?
He believed it today.
He was tricked by Shen Danru.
"Sister Feng, I'm leaving this person to you. Go and handle it. Don't worry, I'll take care of Grandpa Feng. Qingtan, come with Sister Feng."
Feng Wenwen nodded, cupped her hands in greeting, and left.
She believed that Shen Danru would take good care of her father.
Shen Danru ordered Duan Dong to beat up the three men and throw them out.
Since these people were brought by Manager Lü, they definitely cannot be used anymore.
He then instructed Huang Bei to send a message to the manor, asking the manor manager to select three clever young men to deliver to Xiankelou.
Shen Danru arranged for a room with a bed and had Feng Zuo rest in the restaurant for two hours. After apologizing to Feng Zuo, she sent someone to take him back to his residence.
As she left Xiankelou, Shen Danru glanced up at Ruyilou.
Since the goal is to destroy Xiankelou, then there is no need for this restaurant to exist anymore.
Poisoning? Anyone can do that.
Upon returning to Muxue Garden, Shen Danru saw Zhou Shi and Shen Xiaohua in her courtyard.
"Mother, is there something you need?"
