Shen Liuliu, who was fast asleep, was unaware of this.
She was unaware that the Dragon King and Dragon Queen would immediately notice her use of her own essence.
They then came directly there.
Moreover, if the Dragon Queen hadn't intervened and used her divine powers to protect Wang Xiuhe, how could Wang Xiuhe still be alive?
Even the two little babies received a trace of the Dragon Queen's divine magic; if they are well cared for, they should not die young.
In addition, the landmine backfired, so the Dragon Queen's injuries this time were not light.
But after returning, the Dragon Queen ordered everyone not to tell Long Xiaoliu.
As a mother, protecting my daughter is my responsibility.
Why tell your children and make them feel guilty?
—
After being struck by lightning, Old Mrs. Shen screamed incessantly. It was Mr. Cao Yu who gave her a brief examination, fearing that the old woman might die there.
And after that, the old lady never said another word.
Not to mention speaking up for Shen Pengfei.
No matter what she said to Shen Pengfei, the old lady seemed to have lost her soul and didn't hear a thing.
Shen Pengfei could only place all his hopes on the Princess of Yong'an: "Princess, if I go to jail, what about all those things you did..."
Who is Shen Pengfei?
Suddenly, the county magistrate appeared at the Shen family's residence with a group of constables.
Fearfully, Shen Pengfei reached out to pull at the Princess of Yong'an, threatening in a low voice, "Princess, if I don't behave well, you won't have a good time either!"
"you!"
Princess Yong'an is filled with hatred!
I hate myself for being so stupid, for falling for that bastard's trick!
What do we do now?
"Princess!"
"My lord, this man is Shen Pengfei!"
Shen Erming grabbed Shen Pengfei and threw him in front of the county magistrate.
The magistrate declared righteously, "Shen Pengfei, you attempted theft but ended up taking a life. Now, according to the law, I will detain you to await trial!"
"No, I'm innocent! I didn't do it!"
Shen Pengfei shouted frantically, "Princess, Princess, speak to me! Princess, that day we..."
"No! You are not allowed to take Shen Pengfei away!"
The Princess of Yong'an, her face pale with resignation, went to stop the magistrate.
The magistrate frowned, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "This humble official greets the Princess of Yong'an County."
So this is the Princess of Yong'an who sent someone to summon him and treated him like a thug...
"No need for formalities. I, the county magistrate, can attest to Shen Pengfei's innocence. Moreover, Shen Pengfei passed the imperial examination and became a Juren, his status is no lower than yours, how can you detain him?"
The county magistrate of Yong'an had no choice but to put pressure on the county magistrate.
Mr. Cao Yu immediately said, "Is Princess Yong'an going to disregard the law? If the old prince finds out, I'm afraid he won't let you off easily!"
"I……"
“Your Highness, the facts of this matter are clear, the evidence is solid, and there are witnesses and physical proof. I must act according to the law. Even if he were merely a scholar without official rank, or even if he were of higher rank than me, he must be taken away today! No one can disregard the law!” (cascoo.net)
The magistrate spoke with righteous indignation and his face was full of authority.
But deep down, he was incredibly happy.
Fortunately, that person arrived; otherwise, with the pressure from a county magistrate, things would have been really difficult.
Oh my, it feels so good to have someone backing you up.
You don't need to worry about doing things.
"Do you...do you know who I am?"
The county magistrate of Yong'an was so angry that his chest heaved up and down; he didn't know what to do.
In fact, Princess Yong'an didn't do many things that abused her power. Her most outrageous act was probably scheming to find herself a husband.
She was then kicked out. Because it was close to the capital, she didn't dare to do anything too outrageous, fearing that she would anger her great-uncle and lose her current wealth.
Therefore, she wasn't very skilled at this kind of thing.
After using her status as a county magistrate to intimidate people, she was left with no other options if they didn't respond.
My whole body went numb.
The magistrate replied, "Of course I know."
Then, with a wave of his hand, someone immediately stepped forward, covered Shen Pengfei's mouth, and took him away.
Princess Yong'an was so angry she jumped up and down. Just as she was about to say something, her wet nurse held her back tightly.
"Your Highness, this is the best situation right now, so please don't cause any more trouble."
The wet nurse desperately covered Princess Yong'an's mouth.
Even if the magistrate knew about the young lady's affairs, it wouldn't matter. The magistrate was clearly a smart man and would naturally not offend Prince Gan'an.
So it couldn't be better if things ended this way.
Listening to the wet nurse's analysis, Princess Yong'an gradually calmed down.
Soon, the officials took Shen Pengfei away.
The wet nurse gave her own county princess a push.
The Lady of Yong'an immediately stepped forward to apologize: "...I am truly sorry for what happened today...Mr. Cao Yu, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to make amends to the Shen family..."
"Please don't tell my great-uncle about this. Otherwise, he'll definitely make me a monk and lock me up in the family temple for life."
In order to enjoy a comfortable life in her later years, Princess Yong'an knew to bow her head and admit her mistake.
Mr. Cao Yu was not one to meddle. He glanced at the Shen family and said, "As long as you don't do it again, it's fine."
The talk about writing letters was just a bluff.
He had already left the capital and naturally did not want to have any further connection with it because of this.
Moreover, once a letter is written to Prince Gan'an, his visit to the Shen family will definitely be impossible to keep secret!
At that time, I'm afraid the young master will be unhappy.
"Thank you, sir."
The Princess of Yong'an was very grateful and immediately got into her carriage and left to prepare an apology.
Shen Wanli then dismissed everyone.
As for Old Mrs. Shen, who is still lying in the west wing...
Tian Guifen wanted nothing more than to devour him alive, but with her second brother and sister-in-law present, she naturally wouldn't say such a thing. She simply gritted her teeth and said, "Your mother's matter... you'll have to handle it yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around and went into the east wing.
Everyone else left as well.
Shen Wanli and Shen Qianli went to the west room. They drank some hot water, which warmed their stomachs and gradually made their bodies feel less cold before they began to discuss things.
"What do you suggest we do?"
"What kind of mess is this?"
Shen Wanli was almost in tears.
How did I end up with such a mother?
The key point is that if they want to do anything, the old man will definitely not agree.
But the old man was actually quite good to them...
"...Give her some medicine."
Shen Qianli said calmly.
The tone was as if he were saying, "Let's have porridge tonight."
His calmness was frightening.
Shen Wanli blinked in fright, then rubbed his eyes and asked again, "Second Brother, what did you just say?"
The old lady isn't sick.
So, second brother, give her some medicine.
yes……
Is that what he meant?
"Wanli, you're a good person, responsible, capable, and kind-hearted. But sometimes, you're not ruthless enough. Now that things have come to this, what's the point of being hesitant and indecisive?"
Shen Qianli glanced at his younger brother.
Why are you so clueless?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
