540: Shen Zhang's Lies

(Girls' Literature)

Shen Zhu was knocked to the ground, with a red slap mark on her snow-white face. She was stunned and didn't even bother to cover her face. She looked at Shen Zhang who hit her with her eyes as big as bells.

Shen Youfu and Shen Ziju were also in a panic because of Xiaolan's death. When they saw Shen Zhang beating Shen Zhu, they were too late to react and the room was very quiet for a while.

"Mother, why did you hit me? It's just a dead maid! Just beat her to death and throw her into the graveyard! Anyway, all the servants in the house know that something was lost today, and it was indeed Xiaolan who stole it! What do you care about? Are you hitting me for her? I'm your daughter!"

Shen Zhu finally reacted. Her face was burning with pain. She covered her face and yelled at Shen Zhang, feeling aggrieved and resentful.

Shen Youfu said nothing. He thought that if Shen Zhu had not stolen the box, such a big thing would not have happened. He deserved a beating.

Shen Ziju went over to help Shen Zhu up and said to Shen Zhang: "Mother, the person is already dead, so don't blame your sister. She didn't do it on purpose."

Shen Zhang was shaking all over, pointing at Shen Zhu and saying, "This is all your fault! Do you know that what you did could lead to a disaster?! You beat Xiaolan to death, where are we going to find those things?! Do you know how important those things are? If they fall into the hands of the wrong people, the consequences will be unbearable for our family! Then our Shen family will be finished! You're finished, your brother is finished, and I'm finished too!"

After Shen Zhang finished speaking, she sat on a chair and began to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

Shen Youfu and the other two were stunned by what Shen Zhang said. They thought that what Shen Zhang said was too serious. Could it be that those jewels could affect the life and death of their family? !

"What the hell is going on?! How did you get these things?!"

Shen Youfu asked anxiously. It occurred to him that these jewels looked very valuable, and Shen Zhang had hidden them for so many years. Where did she get these treasures? If she had them, why didn't she take them out all these years? Even he couldn't take a look at them! She said such things now. It must not be a good thing. It could bring disaster to their whole family. How could these be treasures? They were simply murderous knives!

Shen Ziju also asked Shen Zhangshi. He had a hunch that it was related to Shen Zhangshi's past identity. He had long known that his mother was not an ordinary village woman. She was beautiful and elegant, and her way of speaking, walking and doing things was different from that of ordinary village women. She was so smart and gentle, and she was also literate. Some of the things she told them were not something that ordinary country people could know. Although Shen Zhangshi said that she heard it from others, Shen Ziju guessed that it was all Shen Zhangshi's personal experience.

Shen Ziju once thought positively, thinking that maybe his mother was the daughter of a good family that had fallen on hard times. Later, when Su Zhi came to recognize her as her biological mother, he thought that maybe his mother was also a lost lady from a rich family, or had left home for some reason. As long as he thought that way, he felt that his status seemed to be higher. But his mother didn't say it, and he didn't ask.

Those glittering jewels made Shen Ziju's heart beat violently. He thought maybe it was really as he thought, but Shen Zhang's words chilled his heart. If these things could cost the lives of the Shen family, he would rather these things had never appeared!

"Mom, what's going on? Why can't these things be seen by others? Who can't be seen by others? Who have you offended?!"

Shen Ziju asked anxiously.

Shen Zhu was also very worried. Although she was not satisfied with her life in the Wang family, it was still a life of luxury after all, and she didn't want to go back to her old life all of a sudden. Or else she would lose her life.

Shen Zhang looked at Shen Youfu and her two children looking into her eyes and thought for a while. She still didn't dare to reveal her identity because she was afraid they would look down on her. So she told a lie.

"These things were given to me by a dying woman I met that year. She said that even if I wanted to sell them for money, I had to sell them far away and be careful, saying that the owner of these things was looking for them, and if they were found, there would be disaster. I just liked these jewels too much, so I kept them. I just wanted to look at them myself, and pass them on to my children in the future, and then pass them down from generation to generation. When I really need money, I will think of selling them. By then, I guess no one will remember these things, and they won't bring disaster!"

Shen Zhang sighed and said, "But I didn't expect that Zhu'er would take them away! And let these things get lost! What if this brings disaster to others?"

The Shen family was very surprised when they heard this, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Youfu said: "It's been 30 years. The people who lost the things have long forgotten about them, right? What are you afraid of?"

Shen Zhu also said, "Those people don't hide in every corner. Xiaolan only took two beads, a jade pendant and a hairpin, which are not special things. Maybe even if the original owner of these things saw them, she wouldn't recognize them. Besides, Xiaolan has no relatives. These things are so valuable, she will definitely not give them to others. Maybe she hid them somewhere. Now that she is dead, if we can't find those things, we may never find them. Even if we find them, we can either take them back quietly or deny that they are ours. Wouldn't that mean there will be no disaster?"

Shen Zhu said that she was now trying her best to make the matter sound lighter. After all, it was she who caused the trouble. She wanted to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing.

After hearing what Shen Zhu said, Shen Zhang originally wanted to say that the owner of those things was in the capital and that she needed to be careful, but Shen Zhu's words made sense. She thought that if she saved those things, she wouldn't be discovered. And no one would care about the remaining things in her hands, so she could rest assured.

Shen Zhang didn't want her family to think that she had caused a big trouble, fearing that her position would be affected. So she kept it secret, but her family took it lightly, and when the disaster came, they were caught off guard.

Someone took away Xiaolan's body. The reason was that Xiaolan had stolen something and wanted to hurt Shen Zhu, but she was accidentally beaten to death.

After all, Shen Ziju was a low-ranking official, and he didn't want this matter to spread, so he told the servants in the house not to talk nonsense. The servants in this family were all indentured servants, so they were naturally obedient.

The box was returned to Shen Zhang's house, and Shen Zhu returned to Wang's house empty-handed.

Shen Zhu thought that this time she had lost the favor of her parents and her younger brother, and had lost her maid. She had not yet obtained the treasure she wanted. It was really depressing.

Let's start with a short chapter of 2,000 words. I'll be able to deal with several people soon. Don't worry, don't worry. In fact, I'm very anxious.
