543: The Great Disaster is Coming

Zhao Xiaoshan left, Shen Zian and Su Zhi asked everyone to leave, and the couple sat together to discuss the matter, both of them looked unhappy.

Shen Zian held Su Zhi's hand. His hand was very warm but trembling slightly. He was angry and confused in his heart, and he felt very guilty towards Su Zhi.

"Wife, you have been wronged."

Ever since Su Zhi married into the Shen family, the Shen family members have been constantly causing trouble for them, no matter when they were poor or rich, the Shen family members would always come to disturb their peace. Su Zhi was such a gentle and kind woman, with a beautiful face, a smart mind, and a noble status. Marrying him was like marrying a lower class, yet she still had to suffer like this.

Shen Ziju is the most promising person in the Shen family, and he has always been gentle towards the fourth room. When Shen Zian compared him with other people in the Shen family, he felt that he was good. However, he did not expect that he would have such thoughts about his wife. His family once again disappointed him and once again brought danger to Su Zhi. Shen Zian felt bad.

Su Zhi was well aware of Shen Zian's thoughts. She placed her free hand over his and said softly, "It has nothing to do with you. You are disappointed again. Don't be too sad."

Shen Zian said: "I didn't expect that my fifth brother would have such thoughts. I always thought I was very perceptive, but I didn't see through his thoughts. He hid it really well!"

"Well, what brother would suspect that his younger brother is thinking about his wife? You are so kind-hearted, so you won't suspect him. And he really hid it very well. If it weren't for Mu Weizhi's threat, he would never do anything in his life."

"Wife, you decide what to do about this matter. I will listen to you. I want to find him and beat him up."

Shen Zian gritted his teeth and said that he had to beat his brother. He dared to have such evil thoughts. His wife was good, but he couldn't think about it. Not only did he think about it, but he dared to act when threatened by others. He really deserved to be punished. But this matter was related to Su Zhi. He had to ask her. He would do whatever Su Zhi said. He would not object.

Su Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's see what he plans to do, and then call him over to give him a try."

Su Zhi was also angry. But she couldn't make a fuss about this matter. Was a brother-in-law planning to keep his sister-in-law as a concubine? She didn't want to be used as a bargaining chip. Besides, Zhao Xiaoshan just said that, and things haven't really started yet. She was still willing to give Shen Ziju a chance. Until now, she still remembered Shen Ziju's oath to be an honest official. It's not easy to find an honest official these days. But thinking of the death of the Niu family and that he agreed to Mu Weizhi's request after she threatened him, Su Zhi thought that she couldn't let him get away with it.

When the time comes, this matter will still be handed over to the emperor to resolve.

Su Zhi would not protect Shen Ziju just because he was her in-laws, because she admired him, or because he had a crush on her. She would leave it all to the emperor who could sentence him and decide whether to pardon him. If the emperor was willing to let him go, it would be his good fortune, and that was all she could do.

Shen Zian heard Su Zhi's decision and thought it was the best solution. He didn't want his wife to be involved in this storm. Although he and the Shen family had separated and their relationship was cold, if something happened to the Shen family, it would affect his wife. Even if the Shen family deserved to die, he couldn't let his wife be implicated!

"What about Mu Weizhi?"

Shen Zian thought of Mu Weizhi. How could this woman dare to bring up such a thing so insidiously? For the first time, Shen Zian had the urge to kill a woman.

Su Zhi said: "She? She also told the emperor about her affairs. The emperor must be very happy to catch Wang Feng guilty of something."

The Wang family has always been obsessed with the throne because of the imperial concubine and the second prince. The emperor would never tolerate others doing this, and he kept a close eye on the Wang family, and he would be happy to see any evidence of the Wang family.

Shen Zian decided to do as Su Zhi said. Who was the one who almost got hurt this time? And was it Su Zhi?

That day, Shen Zian went into the palace with Xiaori when she was being sent back, and reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor told him not to make it public and that he would handle the matter himself.

After Shen Zi'an left, the emperor sat and pondered for a moment, thinking that Shen Ziju had disappointed him. Shen Ziju was a relative of Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi, and he was also the runner-up in the imperial examination. He was outstanding in both talent and appearance. He had been observing Shen Ziju for two years and found that Shen Ziju did not accept the Wang family's inducement just because his sister married Wang Feng. He was satisfied with this. Shen Ziju had outstanding political performance in the past two years, so he promoted him repeatedly, just to make him accept the emperor's grace, not associate with the Wang family, and become a loyal and good person.

Now Shen Ziju was threatened for killing his concubine's family and agreed to imprison his sister-in-law, who was Su Zhi, the stepmother of the eldest prince and the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty. The emperor really didn't know how to punish Shen Ziju. Finally, he wanted to see what would happen to Shen Ziju. If he could still be saved, he would spare his life and let him be depressed for a few years. If he didn't sink, he would be reactivated. If he gave up on himself, he would give up.

Shen Ziju didn't know that he had been targeted and his future was destined to be full of ups and downs. He was now caught in a fierce ideological struggle. Although he had already promised Mu Weizhi, he still felt that it was inappropriate. However, when he thought about seeing Su Zhi every day in the future, even if she hated him, he still wanted to possess her.

"Daddy...hug me..."

A soft voice was heard, and a small hand grabbed the corner of Shen Ziju's clothes. He looked down and saw that it was his most beloved little daughter Lian'er.

Shen Ziju picked up Lian'er and kissed her little face. He loved this daughter very much because her eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Su Zhi. The difference was not very obvious, but he saw the resemblance, so he loved her especially. He could not forget the lotus scent of Su Zhi, so he named her Lian'er.

Shen Ziju and Lian'er were playing, and his wife was standing not far away watching them with a smile on her face. She was satisfied with her husband.

Shen Ziju looked at his gentle wife and felt a little guilty. He didn't love her, but he respected her. She was a very good wife. As the daughter of a minister, she took care of the household for him and gave birth to a daughter for him. But in his heart, he was thinking of that beautiful figure, the woman with a spring breeze-like smile, and Su Zhi, whose eyes were like clear water...

Shen Ziju was torn, tortured by his conscience on one hand, tormented by his selfish desires on the other. Thinking of Mu Weizi's threat, his heart grew older little by little. The only thing he was thankful for now was that Mu Weizi didn't set a time for him, so he still had time to continue thinking about it, but he himself knew what the final result would be.

Just when Shen Ziju was in trouble, the Shen family was in trouble.

A team of officers came to the Shen family. Because Shen Ziju was a fifth-rank official and was related to the Wang and Mu families, the officers and soldiers were not extremely vicious but polite. After greeting Shen Ziju, they explained their purpose: they were here to arrest Shen Zhang.

Shen Ziju was stunned when he heard this. He wondered why his mother, a woman, would be arrested by the police. What serious crime could she have committed? But as soon as he thought of the word "serious crime", he suddenly thought of Shen Zhang's box and the jewelry in the box!

Shen Zhang once told me about the origin of those jewels. She was very panicked about losing them, saying that there would be a disaster. Later, although the box was found, some of the jewels inside were lost. At that time, I thought that Xiaolan, who stole the things, had hidden them. Maybe they would never be found. Could it be that God was so unlucky that they were found by the people who lost the treasures that year? !

"I don't know why my mother was arrested?"

Shen Ziju wanted to ask for clarification.

"Your mother is suspected of murder and theft in the family of Viscount Weiyuan. Lord Shen, please be lenient. We are only asking the old lady to investigate. If the old lady has nothing to do with this matter, she will be sent back naturally. Our Lord will definitely not wrongly accuse a good person, let alone your mother, Lord Shen."

The leader of the team said this, being quite respectful to Shen Ziju.

Shen Ziju's heart sank when he heard this. When he heard about murder for treasure, he was certain. Wasn't the treasure in his mother's hand a treasure? He didn't expect it would be related to murder. Thinking of what his mother said, a dying man gave her the box, could that be the murderer? Now he only hoped that if this was really the case, his mother could explain the matter clearly. This matter is related to Viscount Weiyuan's Mansion!

Shen Ziju felt a headache, because this Viscount Weiyuan was not someone else, but the family of Mu Weizhi's grandfather. Although he was not as powerful as before, he still had the title, and was related to the Wang family. This time, he was really involved again. If he could not get out of this case, not only would Zhu'er be implicated, but he would also be entangled by the Wang family!

Thinking of Shen Zhu, Shen Ziju also became worried about her. He asked who else was invited besides Shen Zhang's, and the answer he got was that Shen Zhu was also "invited".

Shen Zhang frowned, thinking that the Liu family was preparing to make a big deal out of this!

The Shen family was in chaos all of a sudden. Shen Zhang was "invited" out with a pale face. She still maintained her image, but anyone could see how panicked and scared she was.

Shen Youfu also followed out, his face was also blue and pale. Now he was worried about Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu, but he was more worried about the impact of this matter on Shen Ziju. His son was an official, and his future could not be affected!

"Son! You must save me!"

Shen Zhang couldn't hold on any longer and asked Shen Ziju for help. Her usually kind face was now twisted with fear and looked ferocious.

Shen Ziju comforted Shen Zhang and watched her being taken away. Then he said a few words of comfort to Shen Youfu and his wife and immediately went out.

Just one update, I've been busy lately.
