Chapter 500: Concubine

Meng Jinliang was angry with Shen Zhu in his heart, so he naturally would not say that he and Shen Zhu had an appointment to meet here, but he also did not want to let Shen Zhu go, so he said this.

Su Zhi smiled secretly after hearing this, thinking that Meng Jinliang was also a smart man, not only in knowledge, but also in disciplining people. With just these one sentence, he saved himself from the unfavorable situation of having a secret meeting with Shen Zhu. Although he did not say anything to Shen Zhu, he secretly stabbed Shen Zhu.

"So that's what happened! Shen Zhu, I understand. You sent a letter to Brother Jinliang, and then to my cousin. Whoever comes first will be unlucky! And the other one will become your witness. Then the one who comes first will be forced to marry you! It must be like this! Cousin, you are too kind-hearted, aren't you? It's obvious that someone sent a message to let you come here, and it must be this woman, and you are still hiding it for her!"

Mu Weizhi immediately winked at Wang Feng. She thought her cousin's previous attitude was revealed. He didn't want to marry Shen Zhu, at least he didn't want to marry her as his principal wife. So she should help him and let him have some reason. Although she personally designed to make Shen Zhu lose her virginity to Wang Feng, she didn't want Shen Zhu to become Wang Feng's principal wife. No matter how unreliable Wang Feng was, he was still the brother of the imperial concubine and his family was also a wealthy family. Why should Shen Zhu marry well?

Wang Feng reacted immediately and said, "I just want to give her some face. After all, she is Brother Shen's sister and cousin Su Zhi's sister-in-law. If I don't give her face, I have to give you face."

Wang Feng said the last words while looking at Shen Zian and Su Zhi. He looked at Su Zhi and thought that this woman was actually the eldest daughter of the Mu family. He had felt that this woman was very pleasing to his eyes before, and he felt that she was not like an ordinary peasant woman. Now it has been proved that his vision is really good. She is actually the daughter of the Marquis. It is a pity that she is married. If she had married him, it would have been a perfect match. However, thinking of Meng Jinliang, who was so pitiful that his fiancée was taken away by someone, he felt relieved all of a sudden.

Su Zhi didn't like the look in Wang Feng's eyes and looked at him coldly.

Wang Feng shuddered in his heart. How could such a delicate young lady have such a fierce look in her eyes? She was not much different from her husband. He looked at Shen Zian again and saw that he was also looking at him coldly, so he quickly looked away. He cursed himself for being useless. He secretly thought that there was no chance. If there was a chance, he would definitely take advantage of this young lady!

When Shen Zhu heard this, she realized that the situation was not favorable to her. These people joined hands to deal with her. She felt angry and wronged, and her body was sore and weak. She sat down on the ground and covered her face and started crying. She said how pitiful she was, and that Mu Weizhi and others teamed up to bully her. Finally, she slowly said that it was the Loyalty Marquis Mansion that bullied her.

Shen Youfu, Shen Zhangshi and Shen Ziju came in and heard Shen Zhu's crying. The faces of the whole family changed.

"My daughter! What happened to you? Get up quickly and tell me what wrong you have suffered?!"

Shen Zhang hurried to Shen Zhu's side and helped her up. Seeing her disheveled hair, splotched makeup, and tear marks all over her face, she felt very distressed.

Shen Zhu immediately threw herself into Shen Zhang's arms and burst into tears. However, even though she was crying, she told the story again. Although she spoke in a discontinuous manner, in just a few sentences, she made the story clear. After she finished, she continued to cry, saying that she didn't want to live anymore.

When the Shen family heard this, they all became even uglier in anger.

Shen Youfu was so angry that he trembled all over. He glared at Wang Feng fiercely and wanted to hit him, but he remembered that Wang Feng was the younger brother of the imperial concubine and had a noble status. Moreover, his daughter was already his. If he got angry, he would really not care about her. In the end, Shen Zhu would suffer, and Shen Ziju's reputation would also be affected. He had a disloyal sister and offended the brother of the imperial concubine. Even if he had the connections of Shen Zian and his wife, he would still be retaliated by the Wang family, right?

Shen Youfu has always put his youngest son's future first. In his heart, even though his daughter is not a money-loser, she is still no match for his son.

Shen Ziju also looked very unhappy. He actually didn't completely believe what Shen Zhu said, but the fact was that Shen Zhu's reputation was ruined, and it was ruined by the brother of the imperial concubine. If this matter was not handled properly, the consequences would be disastrous. His mind worked quickly, and he thought that there were only two ways now. One was to conceal this matter, and then find another marriage for his sister, and try to hide the fact that she was no longer a virgin, but this matter would become a handle that everyone present could hold in their hands. It was the worst option. The middle option was to let his sister make the best of a bad situation and marry Wang Feng, which would also fulfill her dream of marrying into a wealthy family. The reason why it is called the middle strategy is because Wang Feng is the younger brother of the royal concubine, and the royal concubine and the queen belong to two different factions. If the royal concubine wants the second prince to become the emperor, she might take some measures, and then you will be in trouble if you take sides.

But the best option in this matter is the middle option, there is no better option!

Shen Ziju thought that Shen Zhu had given him a big problem this time. He wondered why his sister didn't follow Meng Jinliang. If that was the case, it would be the best result. The eldest prince would return, and it would be Xiaori. Prime Minister Ye was destined to be on Xiaori's side. If he became a relative of the Meng family, he would definitely rise to prominence. Unfortunately, Shen Zhu made a wrong move, which affected his whole chess game!

Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu hugged each other and cried bitterly, but when Shen Zhu whispered in her ear that she wanted to marry Wang Feng, she knew in her heart that her daughter had accepted her fate. She also had complicated feelings about her daughter marrying Wang Feng. Logically speaking, Wang Feng's family was noble and the best, but Wang Feng's reputation was really not very good. She thought it was a great injustice for such a good girl like her daughter to marry him, so she cried with tears streaming down her face.

At this time, Shen Youfu rushed towards Shen Zian and was about to slap him in the face, but Shen Zian reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Su Zhi frowned and said, "Father-in-law, why did you hit Zi'an? What did he do wrong?!"

Shen Youfu said angrily: "What did he do wrong? He just protects his sister like this! He let his sister get bullied at her parents' home. He is such a good brother! I don't know if you guys are also involved in this!"

Shen Youfu dared to say this with the intention of offending the Mu family. He did this because he had thought it through. He thought that Shen Zian and Su Zhi were not close to their family. Instead of relying on them, it would be better to rely on Shen Zhu. If Shen Zhu married Wang Feng, then Shen Ziju could rely on the royal concubine, which meant he could rely on the emperor. This was much more useful than the couple in the fourth room.

It was because of this thought that Shen Youfu did this. He wanted to force them to let Wang Feng marry Shen Zhu. He also saw that Wang Feng did not want to admit it. If they wanted Wang Feng to admit it, only the Mu family and Shen Zian and Su Zhi could help. If they did not want to be charged with framing Shen Zhu, they had to help Shen Zhu get this marriage!

Mrs. Mu frowned when she heard this. She already knew that this relative-in-law was biased, but she didn't expect that he was so biased and confused. Now he actually suspected his own son, daughter-in-law and relative-in-law without any reason. It really made her at a loss for words.

Shen Zian laughed instead of getting angry. He was so angry that he shook Shen Youfu's hand and said, "Now everyone has pointed out that it was her own fault. What does it have to do with me? I am her brother, and you are her parents! She said that she blamed me for the trouble she had at my wife's family's home, but I should blame her. After what she did, not to mention the reputation of the Shen family, even the reputation of the Mu family will be affected! It was okay to use some tricks in the past, but now she is still like this under the feet of the emperor. Do you really think everyone is a fool!"

Shen Zian thought that if Shen Youfu dared to blame him again, he wouldn't mind revealing some of Shen Zhu's past experiences.

Shen Youfu was pinched by Shen Zian's wrist and shook. He took two steps back. When he heard Shen Zian's threatening words, he trembled with anger.

Shen Ziju went over and supported Shen Youfu, saying, "Dad, this is not Fourth Brother's fault. He didn't know this would happen. What matters now is how we resolve this matter."

Shen Youfu was persuaded by his youngest son and said angrily, "How to solve it? What is there to think about? My daughter is already like this, so of course we should discuss her marriage! Use a sedan chair to carry her away!"

Wang Feng was not happy when he heard this and said, "Why?! I was tricked! I am already being magnanimous to you guys by not making a fuss, and you still want me to marry you in a formal way? That's just wishful thinking!"

Mu Weizhi also said, "That's right. My cousin is such a person. How can he marry a lady from a rich family? Why would he marry a woman who uses such despicable means? He is just dreaming!"

Shen Zhang said: "What despicable means? You know what is going on. My daughter is innocent, but now she has been ruined. No matter how you look at it, you are not right. Now we are discussing this here for the sake of Zi'an and Zi'an's wife. If you are unwilling to discuss it, we will fight to the death! Then we will report it to the emperor!"

Wang Feng was a little scared when he heard this. The emperor didn't like him. He had disliked him before. After his nephew pretended to be sick, his sister and nephew were punished. Even his parents were called into the palace and scolded. He didn't dare to see the emperor, for fear that he would find some excuse to punish him.

"Forget it, I'll just be kind and take her in! A formal marriage is not enough, my legal wife in the future must be the daughter of a high-ranking official of the second rank or above, and cannot be a woman who has harmed me. Since she has given her body to me, at most I can carry her into the palace in a sedan chair and make her my concubine."
