Chapter 116 Each Has Its Own Evil
Chapter 116 Each Has Its Own Evil
Shen Defeng, the illegitimate son of the Third Master, was not looked up to by his brothers, but the Third Master had a special status. He was the biological son of the Old Lady. If it weren't for the fact that the First Master was the legitimate son of the former Lady, the Third Master would definitely be the head of the family in the future. Which of the young people in this mansion didn't have eight hundred thoughts? Now, after listening to the conversation between Shen Wen and Shen Defeng, even if they understood what was going on, who would side with the unlucky Shen Wen?
When the third master pointed at Shen Wen and shouted for someone to capture her, the younger generations all rushed towards Shen Wen as if they had telepathy.
Would Shen Wen let this bunch of weakling scholars catch him? She was even more willing to take risks, so she just hid behind the master, saying, "Uncle, please stop them quickly. I can't let them catch me. If I let them catch me, they will lynch me. I am such a person who is afraid of pain, I will reveal everything, even the secret of your going to Chungu Lane."
As soon as the three words "Chun Gu Lane" came out, everyone at the scene paused for a moment when they heard it, and looked at the master curiously.
The master was already nervous, and being stared at like that made him even more flustered. But he immediately blamed Shen Wen, the troublemaker. His face flushed, and he pointed at Shen Wen with trembling fingers, cursing, "You filthy, scoundrel boy, when have I ever been to a place like that? You lied without even finding a good excuse. I'm the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, a role model for scholars in the country. Am I crazy enough to go to a place like that and ruin my reputation and future? You wicked son... you defamed an important official of my dynasty, and according to the law you should be punished in public with a stick. Come... Second steward... Second steward, why don't you take people to catch him..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen hurriedly said, "Don't! I can't help but be beaten. Uncle, what I said was wrong... I can just say it again. Oh, you misunderstood. Uncle didn't go to Chungu Lane to whore... Oh... the word whore doesn't sound good! I said to have fun! He didn't go to have fun, he went to pay tribute to the dead. It was Chunniang, the godmother of Honghua Niang in Xiyaolou. If you don't believe me, you can check it out! Anyway, her son is still alive, and it was his son who received Uncle..."
The story became clearer and clearer, and everyone was stunned. The eldest master was so angry that his heart sank. He hated Shen Wen so much that he wished she would die suddenly.
The master suddenly coughed violently several times and almost suffocated himself.
The second steward, a loyal lackey to his master, immediately gave up the matter of capturing Shen Wen and focused only on the health of the eldest master.
The eldest master's legitimate son, Shen Chenfeng, had already developed evil intentions after seeing his father suffer such a big loss. The twelve, thirteen and fourteen young masters beside him were all of the same mind. Shen Chenfeng only needed to give them a wink and they would know what to do. They attacked Shen Wen unexpectedly while everyone was paying attention to the eldest master. Although Shen Wen reacted very quickly, she was unable to dodge as the crowd surrounded her. She dodged and knocked Shen Defeng down, but before she could step over Shen Defeng, she was grabbed by the back of her neck by the thirteenth young master, Shen Meifeng.
Shen Meifeng immediately shouted proudly: "I caught you, let's see if you dare to be so arrogant..."
But before he could finish his words, a dart flew from the side and brushed past his ear. Shen Meifeng screamed in pain and let go of Shen Wen's hand. He covered his ears and wailed, and bright red blood dripped down his fingers.
When everyone saw that someone almost died, they were immediately furious and lost their composure.
Shen Yifeng, who had just arrived at this time, hurriedly pushed through the crowd and called out with concern, "Xiao Shiqi... Xiao Shiqi... How are you?"
When he peeled open the bloodstained half face, he found that it was Shen Meifeng, not Shen Wen. He calmed down and said, "Quick...quickly go and call the palace doctor to check on Old Thirteen...Why are you all gathered together like this? Go back to your rooms and do your own things. Isn't the excitement of the marquis' mansion enough for outsiders to spread, right? Do you all want to hear your own shit from the storyteller? Who is in charge, you or the old master? What do you think the old master has no temper?"
Shen Yifeng was the only person in the mansion who had been trained on the battlefield. His behavior was full of the aura of a general, especially when he frowned and scolded people. The young masters who only dreamed of a gentle and comfortable life were afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts, even the uncles and other elders were no exception. So after he said this, everyone lost interest in watching the show and meddling in it, and they all wanted to leave.
There was only one shrewd and fierce woman, Madam Shen Si, who was confused and unwilling to leave because she was holding back her anger. She grabbed Master Shen Si's hair and started a fight. At this moment, she shook his hand off and said, "Why are you leaving? Damn it... Ahaha... Woohoo"
She started crying, and actually cried, "You are a dignified Duke Mansion, the most scholarly family in the Dynasty, but you only know how to bully us orphans and widows, and you have ruined my son's life. You also came up with those despicable means to divorce me, I don't accept it... Woo woo... I will sue the court, I will go to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to judge for me, Shen Changrong (the fourth master's name), I will make sure you lose your official position and title, and I will make sure you don't get any good rewards... Woo woo"
Her insinuations overturned the statements of everyone with one stroke, and frightened the First Master and the Fourth Master. Especially the Fourth Master, who had a constipated face and there was really no way to persuade him. It was because the Fourth Lady was a stubborn person.
Shen Yi was confused by what Feng said, and asked, "Why did you bully an orphan and a widow? Who bullied you an orphan and a widow? Who dares to bully you an orphan and a widow? What evil and perverse ideas did Fourth Aunt hear that you are making a fuss about?"
The Fourth Madam sobbed loudly, and suddenly pointed at Shen Wen and said, "That little bastard, he said that he deliberately helped your Fourth Uncle to hurt my son. It turned out that he wanted to make my son die, divorce me from the Marquis' Mansion, and let your Fourth Uncle's concubine become the next Fourth Madam Shen...Ahaha...Wuwu!"
Shen Yifeng has a headache!
Master Shen has a headache!
Master Shen San's face, which was filled with black air, was cracked.
Shen Wen bit his lip and said, "That... Let me repeat it again! It wasn't me who hurt your son. It was Chu Yanqiu... Someone from the Chu family who did it. It really has nothing to do with me..."
This time, Shen Yifeng's serious and upright face cracked!
Although it's good to blame Chu Yanqiu, the powerful man, but do you have to lie so seriously? Fortunately, he was there at the time, otherwise, with Shen Wen's acting skills, even he would have been fooled.
Mrs. Shen Si just kept crying, treating Shen Wen's words as if they were just passing wind in her ears.
Although some of the other onlookers were scolded away by Shen Yifeng, there were still a few who hid in the distance and watched, laughing secretly.
Master Shen Er walked behind these people and slapped his nephews hard on the head with his wide sleeves, causing them to fall to the ground, covered in dirt.
The second master of the Shen family, Shen Qingyun, strode up to Shen Wen and stared at him. An air of oppression rose spontaneously. He coldly scolded him, "You little bastard who has brought disgrace upon our family, it has come to this. You might as well die to atone for your sins, so that we can all be clean!"
The next moment... he raised his foot and kicked Shen Wen in the chest.
The Shen family has very strict family rules and etiquette. When the older generation teaches the younger generation, even if it means whipping or kicking them, the younger generation is only allowed to endure it and cannot fight back, otherwise they will be considered disobedient and unfilial.
So it's not surprising that Shen Qingyun kicked Shen Wen. What's strange is that in a scholarly family like the Shen family, people are usually punished by slapping their hands or putting them in solitary confinement. Because scolding and beating in front of others is really not in the style of scholars. Especially the first and second masters Shen, who are civil servants who passed the civil service examination. However, there are elders in the Shen family who kick people, and that is another second master Shen, Shen Renjie. Shen Renjie is the only nephew of Lord Shen, the one who passed the military examination, and the second master Shen who works at the border.
How could Shen Wen not know the hostility of Shen Qingyun, the Second Master of Shen, towards her at this moment? The dart that was thrown out of nowhere was ordered by the Second Master of Shen who was hiding in the dark. However, she did not try to dodge the kick, because the next moment, Shen Yifeng, who was standing beside her, pulled her away.
Shen Yifeng's impression of his second uncle's cruelty and tyranny was further refreshed. He looked at his second uncle and said, "Second uncle, what is he doing? The matter has not been clarified yet. What kind of crime Shen Wen committed and what kind of punishment he needs have not been investigated by grandfather. Second uncle's actions are too much!"
Shen Wen secretly admired Shen Yifeng.
Shen Yifeng is a kind person. He is the only one in the Shen family who truly values brotherhood and is a pedantic person who does not flatter the powerful and only recognizes rank and status. He is a scholar with one-third of the qualities of a simple Confucian student.
As soon as Shen Yifeng finished speaking, Shen Chenfeng, who was standing by to serve his biological father, said unconvincedly: "Third brother, you are still protecting him. Not only did the Seventeenth Brother hurt the Tenth Brother, he abandoned the Shen family for so many years and actually degenerated himself to the point of being a plaything for men. He didn't repent even after being tired of being played by others. He even went so low as to run to a brothel to be a prostitute. Everyone in the Nine Streets of the Red Dust can testify to this. Do you know that he is a filthy seed? Now he is so dirty that he serves the three brothers of the Shen family alone..."
At this point, Shen Chenfeng felt like he was dirtying his mouth even by telling such a big truth, and he looked like he couldn't bear to continue.
