Chapter 314: The Holy Beast Appears

Shen Zhu stood beside the pond in Fuyuan, looking at the clear water and the trees beside it, and felt as if her body and mind were relaxed. She took a deep breath, and what she breathed into her nose was all fresh air and the faint fragrance of flowers. There were many flowers planted next to the thatched pavilion where she stood. Even in the driest time, these flowers did not die, and now they are full of life.

"It's really - I'm so lucky!"

Shen Zhu looked at the flowers and uttered these words softly. The lucky people she was talking about were not herself, but Shen Zian and Su Zhi. She was a little jealous of them for living such a good life now. She felt that all this was because they were too lucky.

Shen Zhu thought that if she had a holy beast by her side, she would definitely be able to live a better life than now. Not to mention marrying a rich man, she could even marry into the palace and become a concubine. Unfortunately, the holy beast was not hers. When he saw her, he would even look at her coldly and would not even let her touch the little holy beast. This made her very angry, but she could do nothing about it. She could only hope that her brother would pass the imperial examination and then take the imperial examination. Then, with the help of her brother, she could marry into a good family, preferably a rich family. Qian Guang was her best choice now.

Shen Zhu thought about this and walked slowly towards the courtyard. She was wearing a light blue skirt today. Her slender and graceful figure made her very attractive as she walked among the green grass. Shen Zhu herself was also aware of this. She felt a little regretful and thought how great it would be if Qian Guang was here. She would definitely make him like her. She came here often because she knew Qian Guang would come here sometimes. She never thought that Qian Guang had not come here once during the days she was here.

But even so, Shen Zhu still likes to come to Fuyuan, because the environment here is beautiful, the four-room courtyard is also very comfortable, and you can eat delicious meals. Shen Zhu will not leave for enjoyment. And she thinks it is easier to get close to Su Zhi. Although she doesn't like Su Zhi, she has to admit that Su Zhi is lucky. Such a brother and sister-in-law can also become her backer in the future. So even though she and Shen Ziju and Su Zhi had several conflicts, in the end she still interacted with the fourth room as if nothing had happened.

Shen Ziju and Su Zhi did not stop Shen Zhu from coming, they just had to be on guard against her.

Su Zhi thought Shen Zhu was a proud girl. She might be scheming, but she would not hurt them unless it affected her own interests. Therefore, Su Zhi was too lazy to be her enemy. She just thought that she would get married one day, and then she would leave without a care in the world.

"Aunt, do you want to stay here for dinner?"

Yueyue saw Shen Zhu and asked her with big eyes that she didn't like this little aunt very much. Although this little aunt was pretty, her child's instinct told her that this little aunt didn't really like them.

Yueyue is a polite child, otherwise she would not pay attention to this aunt who dislikes her.

"Yes, I want to stay here for dinner. Why, Yueyue doesn't welcome me?"

Shen Zhu said that she didn't hate these three little kids, but she didn't like them either, because these three little kids were not Shen Zian's biological children, but they enjoyed a life that even she, Shen Zian's biological sister, couldn't enjoy. She looked at the silk blouse on Yueyue and squinted her eyes.

Yueyue took a step back and said, "Yueyue thought that little aunt would go home to have dinner with grandpa and grandma, because Yueyue always has to have dinner with daddy and mom. Little aunt should go to dinner with grandpa and grandma, otherwise they will be worried."

Shen Zhu's face darkened and he said, "Are you trying to chase me away?"

Xiao Ri said on the side: "Yueyue is just afraid that her aunt will feel bad if she doesn't eat with grandpa and grandma. Yueyue can't eat when she doesn't eat with daddy and mommy."

Xing'er also said, "Yes, little aunt, you should go home to eat. We are a family and we don't need to be polite. You don't need to stay for dinner. And it seems that you don't like the food that mother cooks. You always finish eating with a frown on your face."

Shen Zhu snorted in her heart. She was jealous of Su Zhi. She even frowned when eating her food, as if the food was not to her taste. She never thought that she would be laughed at by three little kids today. She felt a little embarrassed. She was a little angry with these three little kids.

"You three little kids, don't mind your aunt's business. If you keep talking nonsense, I will tell my fourth uncle to send you away. You are not children of our Shen family."

Before Shen Zhu could say anything, someone started talking. It turned out to be Shen Sanlang and Shen Silang. They were sent by their family to call Shen Zian and the others. As a result, they ran to the pond to play when they arrived and saw Shen Zhu and Xiao Ri talking. Of course, they would side with Shen Zhu because Shen Zhu had a position in the Shen family. If they could please her, they would be better at home.

When Yueyue heard this, she pouted and shouted, "I'm going to tell Mom!" Then she turned and ran away. Xiaori and Xing'er glared at them and ran after Yue'er.

Shen Zhu stared at Sanlang and Silang and said, "Why are you talking so much?"

Shen Zhu hurried towards the courtyard. She didn't want Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi to be angry with her. At this time, she could get help from her fourth brother and his wife. Who told her that not only were Shen Zi'an and his men rich, but even big shots like the county magistrate were polite to them?

Saburo and Silang also hurriedly chased after them, as they still had a mission to accomplish.

Yueyue ran to complain and leaned in Su Zhi's arms. Xiaori and Xing'er stood beside Shen Zian, their faces were also frowned, looking like little adults.

Shen Zian looked at Shen Zhu and said, "Don't say these things to the little kid anymore. They are the children of me and your fourth sister-in-law, the children of the Shen family. If you don't acknowledge that they are the children of the Shen family, then you are also not acknowledging that I am your fourth brother! Think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, don't come to Fuyuan anymore."

Shen Zhu was very angry, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said aggrievedly, "Fourth brother, I didn't say they weren't Shen's children. It was Sanlang and Silang who said that. This is just a quarrel between children. Don't think too much about it. You really wronged me."

Shen Zian looked at Sanlang and Silang. Both of them were a little scared. They were a little afraid of this Fourth Uncle, because this Fourth Uncle could kill a tiger and was always with the Holy Beast. He always had a cold face towards them. If they did something wrong, he would look at them with a very cold look. I remember that once they did something wrong, the Fourth Uncle beat them up. With just one hand, they felt so painful that they felt like they were dying.

"Uncle, grandpa and grandma asked us to tell you to go home quickly! Someone has come to our house, and they look very powerful!" Sanlang was very smart and immediately changed the subject. "Uncle, aunt, and little aunt, please go back quickly. Grandpa and grandma asked you to go back quickly. Don't let them suffer any loss."

Su Zhi sneered in her heart, thinking that Sanlang was really good at talking. How could there be so many people in the Shen family's old house and suffer a loss? Wasn't he just afraid of being criticized?

"Zhu'er, don't feel wronged. Your fourth brother loves Xiaori and the others too much."

Su Zhi said to Shen Zhu. She just saw the anger flashing across Shen Zhu's eyes. She thought that she should not let this petty girl hate her husband. One more enemy is just one more wall. What's more, he is a relative. If he causes trouble for her family, it would be hard to guard against.

Shen Zhu quickly smiled and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, I don't care. Am I such a petty person? I don't care if Fourth Brother scolds me. I love Xiaori and the others too."

Since Sanlang and the others came to call them, they naturally had to go quickly. Although Su Zhi had prepared the meal, it was too late to eat it. She called Old Man Lan and Aunt Lan to eat with the three children, and she, Shen Zian, and Shen Zhu hurried to the Shen family's old house.

On the way, Shen Zian asked Sanlang and Silang what happened. Sanlang said that they couldn't enter the main room and didn't know what happened. Shen Zian and Su Zhi looked at each other and thought that this might be a big deal, otherwise why couldn't someone enter the house? It seemed that they didn't want too many people to hear what happened.

Needless to say, they were allowed to pass and were asked to help.

When they arrived at the Shen family's old house and entered the yard, they saw several children standing in front of every door in the yard. Not to mention children like Sanlang and Silang, even older boys like Dalang and Erlang could not enter.

The three of them entered the main room and frowned slightly when they saw the scene inside.

Shen Zhu walked to Shen Zhang's side and wanted to ask what was going on, but she saw that Shen Zhang seemed to be thinking about something and her face was not good, so she whispered to Wang who was standing beside her. Wang simply told her what happened. Shen Zhu's face changed several times, her eyes widened, and she looked at the people of the Niu family with hatred in her eyes.

Shen Zhu didn't like Niu Xianhua because this girl had competed with her for the position of Lady Rain. Although she didn't compete with her in the end, she still didn't like Niu Xianhua. Especially since Niu Xianhua was Xiao Ping'er's cousin. This relationship made her dislike Niu Xianhua even more. After canceling the engagement between Xiao Ping'er and Xiao Ge, she thought there would be no more trouble between them. Who would have thought that this would happen? She thought that Niu Xianhua had actually relied on her Xiao Ge, so she wanted to tear Niu Xianhua apart.

Shen Zhu thinks that Shen Ziju is her biggest supporter. She is also looking forward to Shen Ziju marrying a daughter of an official to be her sister-in-law in the future, which will help his future. Now if it is replaced by Niu Xianhua, it will not only not help his future, but also not be a good thing for her. She and Niu Xianhua are not on good terms. If Niu Xianhua becomes her sister-in-law, she will definitely sow discord between her and her brother. She doesn't want to lose her brother as a supporter!

"Mom, are you going to agree to their request? How can that Niu Xianhua be worthy of my brother?"

Shen Zhu whispered in Shen Zhang's ear, she wanted to persuade Shen Zhang not to agree.

Shen Zhang glanced at Shen Zhu, but before she could say anything, Niu Da's wife spoke up, "Is this Miss Shen Zhu from the Shen family? She is so pretty. My daughter Xianhua has said a lot of good things about you. If you become her sister-in-law, you can really get closer to her."

Niu Er's wife curled her lips and said, "I'm afraid she won't agree. If she doesn't agree, even if my Xianhua likes you very much, she won't let your fifth brother go. We could have been relatives, but in the end we can only become enemies. You two should think about it carefully. Don't make a mistake and regret it later."

Shen Zhu thought to herself that Niu Xianhua was not so kind as to say good things about her. The Niu family was really good at lying with their eyes open!

"Apart from those two options, is there no third option? Can't I just give you money?"

Shen Zhu was no longer depressed at this time. She was not an ordinary girl. She was the Shen Zhu who wanted to make a name for herself. She had an intuition that if Niu Xianhua was allowed to rely on their family, her brother's future would be over and their Shen family would have no peace. The most important thing was that her backer would

So, Shen Zhu asked for money directly.

"You girl! What are you talking about? Do you think we, Xianhua, are women who are sold in unclear circumstances? Are you looking for a beating?!" Niu Er couldn't stand it anymore and spoke loudly, staring at Shen Zhu with his big eyes, totally ignoring whether Shen Zhu was a pretty girl or not.

Shen Zhu was startled, and then her face turned pale with anger.

"Just try to fight me. If you dare, I will sue you! Then we'll see who wins! My younger brother is a scholar, and this time he may be the judge. My fourth brother is a blessed family that even the prefect has given him a name. There is a holy beast living in his home! Believe it or not, I will let the holy beast bite your whole family to death! By then, not to mention the government, even the emperor won't care whether you died unjustly or not!"

Shen Zhu sneered and said that she just didn't want Niu Xianhua to marry into their family. Looking at Shen Zian and the others, she wanted to use money to pressure them. If money didn't work, then she would use force. If force didn't work, then she would use the Holy Beast to scare them! She really wanted the Holy Beast to bite the whole family to death, but unfortunately the Holy Beast didn't listen to her. However, she had made up her mind to force her to death in order to make the fourth brother listen to her.

"You-you dare?!"

Niu Lan was startled. She stared at Shen Zhu. They knew about the holy beast in the Shen family of Hebian Village. They even thought it was a good thing. If Niu Xianhua married into the Shen family, wouldn't the holy beast also be related to their Niu family? Then they could use the power of the tiger to bully others. But they were also afraid of the holy beast. If they were really eaten by the holy beast, no one would seek justice for them. They would just say they deserved it!

The other members of the Niu family also frowned.

When the Shen family saw that Shen Zhu's threat seemed to work, they were all happy. In fact, the Shen family was not always of one mind, but at this time, it was rare that the whole family was of one mind, and they did not want Niu Xianhua to become the daughter-in-law of the Shen family.

Although Shen Zian and Su Zhi were somewhat unhappy about Shen Zhu using the holy beast to threaten the Niu family, they also thought that this was a solution. Anyway, they would not let the holy beast bite anyone, so there was nothing wrong with scaring the Niu family.

Niu Tian looked at Shen Zian and said, "This is Shen's Zian, right?"

Shen Zian nodded.

Niutian asked, "Will you really let the holy beast bite us? The flowers in our family were defiled by your fifth brother. Her innocent daughter's family was ruined like this. Do you want to use the holy beast to kill her? The holy beast took a fancy to your family. Isn't it because it saw that you are kind-hearted? But do you want to use the holy beast for evil? Think about it carefully."

Shen Zian and Su Zhi thought that Niu Tian was not a stupid person. Maybe Niu Xianhua inherited all her intelligence from her father?

Before Shen Zian could say anything, Su Zhi said, "The Holy Beast likes to bite bad people. Don't worry, if you haven't done anything bad in this matter, I think the Holy Beast will definitely not bite you. If it bites you, it must be because you used some tricks in this matter. Do you want to see if it is fair for the Holy Beast to bite you?"

"You--what are you talking about? You've already bitten us to death, how can you tell whether it's fair or not?

Niu Er said to Su Zhi angrily that he originally wanted to curse her, "You fart!", but when he saw Su Zhi's clear eyes, he didn't curse her out.

Su Zhi smiled and said, "If you hadn't done anything wrong, you wouldn't have been bitten. You're so scared now, it seems there's some secret."

"Yes, yes, you must have cheated in this matter! My brother is not that kind of person! You must have planned to harm him!" Shen Zhu said immediately, "How could it be such a coincidence that my brother and Niu Xianhua lived in the same inn? And he just happened to walk into the wrong room! You must have harmed him! You saw that my brother would be successful and become a high-ranking official, so you wanted Niu Xianhua to do this, right? Don't you even consider whether she is worthy of it! We in the Shen family are not soft persimmons!"

Sun said in a shrill voice: "This is framing a man with great achievements. He will be thrown into prison!"

"This is what you think, it's not the case at all!"

Niu Lan said loudly, she was wondering how things had turned out like this, it was clearly in their favor before, the Shen family was almost forced by them to agree to marry her daughter, how come it turned out like this now? When she thought of her daughter, she really wanted to cry this time.

"Whether this is the case or not, we'll know after we let the Holy Beast come and take a look. Fourth brother, go and call the Holy Beast. Our Shen family is being blackmailed now! This is not a matter of money, it's a matter of reputation. You must help us! Fourth brother! Go and call the Holy Beast quickly.

Shen Zhu spoke to Shen Zian, her voice full of pleading.

Shen Youfu was also urging Shen Zian. He had just been severely bullied and disliked the Niu family. He was not afraid even if they were really bitten to death in his yard! In particular, he could not let his youngest son marry Niu Xianhua. His youngest son was going to marry the daughter of an official!

Shen Zian walked outside. He didn't want Niu Xianhua to become a member of the Shen family. Niu Xianhua was not an easy person to deal with, and he didn't want his wife to become a sister-in-law to her in the future.

When the Niu family saw Shen Zian walking out, they looked at each other and became anxious. They were all afraid of being bitten to death!
