Chapter 544 of The Farmer's Spring Field

After Shen Ziju walked out of the door, he slowed down his pace. He came out in such a hurry because he wanted to think about countermeasures quietly. This matter made him feel very tricky. If it was true as his mother said that those jewels were obtained from someone else, then it would be easy to deal with. However, he did not quite believe what Shen Zhang said. He was really afraid that it would be as he thought. This matter was related to Viscount Weiyuan's Mansion and even human lives!

Shen Ziju thought that if Shen Zhang was not involved in this matter, then his reputation and his future would be damaged!

After walking slowly on the street for a while, Shen Ziju quickly walked towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi were playing chess. The children had gone to the palace, Madam Mu was resting, and the Mu father and son were not at home. The couple had a chance to relax for half a day and were very happy.

Hearing that Shen Ziju was coming, the two looked at each other. Su Zhi saw a hint of murderous intent in Shen Zi'an's eyes and smiled in her heart, thinking that he was still angry because Shen Ziju agreed to Mu Weizhi's request. In fact, she was also angry, but after handing the matter over to the emperor, she gradually became less angry. After all, nothing happened, and Shen Ziju would pay the price for his actions. It was not worth it for her to be angry for such an indifferent person.

"He still has the nerve to come!"

Shen Zian dropped the chess piece in his hand.

Su Zhi immediately made a move, which made Shen Zian's already losing position even more obviously.

"Don't be angry. He hasn't done anything yet. Although he is hateful, you can't get angry with him. Otherwise, I will be heartbroken."

Su Zhi said that she did feel distressed. Her husband was such a good man, but he was born in such a family. Although he was not as close to Shen Ziju as to the first and second wives, he treated him as a brother. How could he not be disappointed when this brother behaved like this? Although Shen Zian looked a little cold, he was actually very soft-hearted and longed for warmth. Now he was betrayed by another relative, which was like a knife in his heart.

When Shen Zian heard Su Zhi say this, his handsome face tensed slightly and turned red. He thought that fortunately he still had his wife, who could always comfort him when he was sad.

"Wife, don't see him. Go behind the screen."

Shen Zian told Su Zhi that he felt uncomfortable when he thought that Shen Ziju had feelings for Su Zhi, and he didn't want Shen Ziju to see Su Zhi again.

Su Zhi laughed out loud, but still agreed.

Shen Ziju met Shen Zian. He was a little disappointed when he didn't see Su Zhi. He bowed to Shen Zian and asked, "Fourth brother, why don't you meet Fourth Sister-in-law?"

Shen Zian had no expression on his face, and in his heart he wanted to punch Shen Ziju's tall nose flat. He had known Shen Ziju's thoughts since he was young, and when he thought back, he found that this brother was really very secretive. He was a man who often hunted and had great martial arts skills, but he didn't notice his feelings for Su Zhi with his sharp eyes and mind. Shen Zian didn't know what he felt in his heart, and now he couldn't stand him no matter how he looked at him.

"Your sister-in-law is a little tired and has gone to rest. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I am your fourth brother."

Shen Zian said that he had great self-control. In his heart, he hated Shen Ziju for having improper thoughts about Su Zhi, but he did not show it except for being indifferent on the surface. Just like Su Zhi said, he wanted to see if this brother would really do such a heartless thing!

Shen Ziju felt that his fourth brother was a little cold today, but Shen Zi'an also had the same personality in the past, so he didn't think much about it. He just thought that it was because he went to meet Shen Youfu and others a few days ago, and something happened at home, which made him look down on his parents, so he didn't have a good face when he saw him.

Shen Ziju also felt a little ashamed of having such parents and sisters, but what could he do? They were now related to him in honor and disgrace. Now he really envied his fourth brother, who was rich and powerful, had a lovely wife and a loving son. He studied hard for ten years and got the second place in the imperial examination, but in the end, they were not as lucky as him as a farmer! Shen Ziju thought that this was everyone's fate.

"You don't look well, is there something urgent?"

Shen Zian saw the disappointment in Shen Ziju's eyes, and then looked at his face, feeling even more uncomfortable. He wondered if he was disappointed because he didn't see his wife? Is it a noble person's behavior to miss his brother's wife so much? Shen Ziju really disappointed him. He didn't despise him because he had an affair with Niu Xianhua, and he didn't hate him because he killed the Niu family. He wouldn't be hostile to him even if he stood with the Wang family to rebel. But he actually dared to covet his own wife. It was really intolerable!

Shen Zian thought that if Shen Ziju dared to say anything that was detrimental to his daughter-in-law at this time, he would make him miserable!

Shen Ziju quickly put away his disappointment and told Shen Zian about the family affairs. Since his fourth sister-in-law was not around, it would be the same if he told his fourth brother.

Shen Zi'an was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Shen Ziju to talk about this matter. He was shocked to hear that Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu were involved in a lawsuit, and it was a lawsuit related to murder. Then he felt a little schadenfreude, thinking that this woman really got what she deserved. Because it had been a long time, he couldn't find out whether Shen Zhang had killed his mother, and he could only look at her with suspicion and hostility. But now she was involved in a lawsuit. Could this be regarded as God's way of helping him to avenge himself in another way?

Seeing that Shen Zian was listening, Shen Ziju told him the matter in detail again.

"Viscount Weiyuan's mansion was robbed, his wife was killed, and a large amount of property was lost. Because there were many rare treasures of Viscount Weiyuan's wife, they registered in many pawnshops and jewelry shops, and reported any similar items they saw. Although so many years have passed, the lost items happened to appear in a pawnshop in Huzhou, and that pawnshop happened to belong to the Liu family. The shopkeeper was still the shopkeeper of that year, and he had a memory of it, so he recognized it at once. This made the Liu family furious. Not only did they arrest the person who went to pawn the jewelry at that time, but they also asked the person about the origin of those items, and implicated my mother and younger sister as well."

Shen Ziju sighed as he spoke, thinking that Xiaolan refused to speak because she gave the things to her lover and she was afraid of implicating that person. But that person had already run away with the things. Xiaolan didn't know that these things came from a bad source, so she didn't tell that person. As a result, that person was probably in a hurry to sell them and wanted to get rid of them not far from the capital. As a result, by some strange coincidence, they were not caught by the Shen family, but by the Liu family. Now they have implicated the Shen family as well. It is really a retribution for the evil deeds, and there is no escape.

Shen Zian asked: "Since your mother said that she got those jewels from passers-by, what can happen? The Liu family and the Wang family are relatives, and Zhu'er is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. What can the Liu family do to her? You came to me and your sister-in-law, but you found the wrong people. Don't forget what Liu did in this mansion. What happened in the end."

Madam Liu did what she did, and she got what she deserved, but the Liu family also lost face because of it. Although they came to pay compensation and apologize to the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion, saying that they had failed to raise a daughter, how could they not hate the Loyalty Marquis's mansion for being merciless and letting Madam Liu end up like that, making the Liu family lose face?

Now that this has happened, it would be better for the Wang family to come forward than for the Mu family to do so.

Shen Ziju thought to himself, didn't he not believe what Shen Zhang said? He came to find his fourth brother and his wife to ask them to talk to the Liu family. After all, the Liu family owed the Mu family, and maybe they could let Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu go. He would naturally talk to the Wang family, but he thought that Shen Zhu had such an accident. The Wang family must be very angry. It was uncertain whether he could get in at this time, and Shen Zhu was not very popular in the Wang family. Wang Feng didn't like her, and she had no children. The Wang family had been harassing him, but he had always refused to respond. The Wang family was already dissatisfied with Shen Zhu's existence, and now even if he agreed to stand on the side of the second prince, it was still uncertain whether the Wang family would be willing to keep Shen Zhu!

Shen Ziju really didn't want to go to the Wang family and fall into the trap for Shen Zhu. The emperor favored the eldest prince. He would be stupid to stand on the side of the second prince. He didn't want to rebel. He wanted to be an honest official, not a traitor.

"Fourth brother, I know this is a bit difficult for you, but Dad is so anxious at home now. I know you still suspect that Mom killed Auntie, but that is just a suspicion after all. If it wasn't Mom who did it, you will definitely regret it if you ignore her now. Our Shen family's affairs are one thing, and this is another."

Shen Ziju said this, and finally had no choice but to tell Shen Zian why he didn't go to Wang's house first.

When Shen Zian heard that Shen Ziju was honest with him and said that he didn't want to stand on the side of the Second Prince, although he was still angry at his brother for thinking about his wife, he thought that he was not confused about the big things. He thought about Xiaori and didn't want Shen Ziju to stand on the side of the Second Prince.

"The Mu family has no way to go to the Liu family to make peace with this matter. If they go to them, wouldn't it seem like they are really at fault? The most they can do is ask the government to make a fair judgment and not use arbitrary torture."

Shen Zian said that he would not let his wife go to Aunt Liu's family to plead for such a person.

As soon as Shen Ziju heard this, he knew there was no other way and this was the only thing he could do.

"What Fourth Brother said makes sense. I'll ask Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law to help me. I'll take my leave now. I also ask Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law to go see Dad. He needs comfort now."

Shen Ziju thought he wanted to walk around for a while, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Shen Zian didn't keep him, he just sent him out of the courtyard and then came back.

Su Zhi had already walked out by this time.

"I didn't expect this to happen, Zi'an, what do you think?"

"Whatever the situation is, I won't care. Let's just wait and see."

Shen Zi'an said that he would not bother with Shen Zhang, but as for Shen Youfu, he thought he would go to see her if he could, even if he was scolded. This was also for the sake of his and Su Zhi's reputation, especially for the reputation of his wife. Who makes people attach importance to filial piety in this day and age?

Well, it’s late. I only have time at night. I found something and I’m depressed. I’m about to finish writing and it’s very slow. Then the backend is up… I don’t know if the editor will ask me tomorrow why I update so little. It’s a complete tragedy. Suddenly I thought of a common phrase recently: I’m tired of love… Forget it, I won’t complain. Who made me a coder? Dear friends, just take pictures. I don’t even cover my head…
