The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 225: Brother-in-law Prince Rui, let’s go!

Nian harmed the legitimate son and raised the legitimate sons born to Shen Shuofeng and his ex-wife to be bloodthirsty and brutal. In the past, when someone was hurt, Nian always paid money to settle the matter without telling Shen Shuofeng. She thought that even if Shen Shuofeng knew, he would only hate his son more and more, and she, the stepmother who protected him, was a kind-hearted person in the eyes of everyone. But she had planned everything, but she didn't expect Shen Wen to come back. When Shen Wen reminded Shen Shuofeng to pay more attention to family affairs, it was not just a simple reminder. He had already sent people to secretly collect evidence of Nian's murder of the legitimate son, from the confessions of the maids and servants around the legitimate son's food and medicine, the source of the sellers of the cruel animals, and the source of the poisonous snakes and beasts, everything was clearly investigated.

Shen Wen once told the informant who was investigating the matter that as long as Shen Shuofeng had the intention to investigate Nian, he should immediately give Shen Shuofeng the evidence and witnesses.

What Shen Wen never expected was that Shen Shuofeng was a straightforward person. He knew nothing about the secret affairs in the deep mansion. He also had no idea how the second master Shen, who was so shrewd and killed people without bloodshed, raised a son like Shen Shuofeng.

How can a noble woman who committed a crime be divorced and sent home as she pleases like ordinary people? The crime committed by Nian Shi cannot be made public. Her mother's family and the Shen family are deeply involved, and they are all maintained by the beautiful marriage between Nian Shi and Shen Shuofeng. It's not that Shen Shuofeng can't divorce Nian Shi, but he has to solve the matter on the premise of ensuring the interests of both the Nian and Shen families, that is, to move the Nian family to voluntarily give up Nian Shi, the evil woman.

Nian Shi cried and pestered Shen Wen, not wanting him to leave. At this time, a servant ran out from the second house, bowed to Shen Wen and said, "Tell me what the second master said, and tell me to tell you, the Seventeenth Master, that Nian Shi is going to divorce. No matter who Nian Shi begs, it will be useless. The Seventeenth Master is also a man with many things to do, so just go and do your own thing."

Well! People think he is a busybody.

Shen Wen watched Nian picking at his trouser legs, moved his feet, and said helplessly to the servant: "You saw it too, my second sister-in-law won't let me leave."

The servant was also a capable person. He immediately called a few maids to come and separate Nian and carry her away.

Nian cried and wailed, "Seventeenth Brother, if you don't care about me, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide here today."

Shen Wen was so angry at the couple that he laughed. He pointed at the door of the second room and said with gritted teeth, "You two are getting a divorce, but your brother-in-law is caught in the middle. You have parents upstairs, and you think you can just do it. Forget it."

Shen Wen shouted to Nian: "Don't whine, I've explained the way out to you so clearly. Instead of clinging to me who doesn't care about the matter, you might as well go and beg those people."

The maidservant beside Nian came over and cried, "We have looked for them all, including the first lady, the second lady, the third lady, the eighth lady, and several young masters' wives, but none of them cared about us and drove us out."

Shen Wen held his forehead.

Shen Wen was really angry this time. He glared at Nian and said coldly, "Let go, or I will be rude to you."

Nian was frightened by his sharp eyes and her hands lost strength.

Shen Wen took a step back, raised his eyes and said to the servant: "Where is the second master? Take me to see him."

The servant said, "Seventeenth Master, please don't ask. The Second Master is not at home. This morning, the eldest son of our second house went to the Shen clan in the south without the Second Master's consent. The Second Master is now galloping to catch up with the eldest son."

Shen Wen said, "Go pick a fast horse, and come with me to chase the Second Master."

The servant said nothing and stood still.

Shen Wen urged: "Why don't you go?"

The boy was frightened, but did not move.

At this time, several strangers came over. The leader was wearing the clothes of the eunuchs in the palace, and the ones behind were wearing the clothes of the guards. They looked majestic.

The eunuch didn't even look at Shen Wen, but pointed at the Nian family's master and servant crying on the ground and ordered, "These are the two crazy women. Come on! Slap them in the face."

The guards immediately went up to grab the two men, and slapped the Nian master and servant more than twenty times.

The servant next to Shen Shuofeng turned pale with fear. He asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to our mansion to beat people up? Our Second Madam is an official lady after all. It is unreasonable for you to humiliate her like this."

When the eunuch heard this, he was very surprised and asked the servant: "Who did you say was the official lady? Are you deceiving me? Whose lady would cry as unpleasantly as a donkey? The howling just now frightened my prince so much that he almost fainted. You frightened the uncle of the current emperor, so shouldn't you be beaten?"

When the servant heard that he was the eunuch chief steward of the prince's family, he bowed and said, "Please forgive me, eunuch. It is wrong for my wife to frighten the prince. Now I have beaten her. Please go back and tell the prince the truth. It is really our marquis's granddaughter-in-law, the daughter of the Nian family, a prominent family in the capital. Please let her go."

The eunuch was surprised, but still a little suspicious. He looked at the limp Nian and asked her, "Is what he said true? You are not a slave, but the granddaughter-in-law of Lord Shen?"

Nian had knelt for a long time and had used all her strength to pester Shen Wen for so long. She had also been slapped twenty times in the face. She was already half dead. Her mouth was swollen and it was difficult for her to open her mouth to answer. She could only nod in grievance.

The eunuch chief Xigui then sighed and said, "It's really strange. This is the first time I've seen a noble lady behave like this. Well, since I made a mistake, I'll go back to Prince Bingming and give you some apology later. But I still want to remind you, Madam, not to cry and scare people like a ghost next time."

Then he left with his guards.

Nian no longer had the energy to pester Shen Wen, and Shen Wen slipped away when she wasn't paying attention.

Shen Wen also gave up the idea of ​​returning to the fifth room. He originally wanted to persuade Hua to bring his adoptive father back home in a few days.

Shen Wen didn't care how Lord Shen would talk to him next. Since he couldn't wait for Lord Shen, it meant that the timing was not right. He thought it was better to forget it and ran out of the house to do something else.

Shen Wen had already arrived at the gate of the mansion. Seeing the doorman open, he was about to step out when someone hurriedly chased after him, calling out to him anxiously.

Shen Wen looked back and saw that it was none other than the little Taoist boy beside Taoist Qingping.

The little Taoist boy took two steps at a time and grabbed Shen Wen's arm. He took a breath and smiled, "Seventeenth Master, please stay. The Marquis is about to leave. Where are you going? Before the Marquis left, he specifically told me to wait for you to come back. He wants to see you first. You should come back with me."

The little Taoist boy dragged Shen Wen back. Shen Wen shook him off and said, "Who are you trying to fool? Since the Marquis specifically told you to do this, why didn't you and your disciple tell me before, but now you're trying to pull me back? I don't dare go back with you. The rats you raise are as big as a little leopard. Are you trying to trick me into going back and feeding your rat ancestors?"

Seeing that he didn't know what was good for him, the little Taoist boy immediately raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry. The curse words were on the tip of his throat, but when he thought of his master's instructions, he swallowed them back and said to Shen Wen in a good temper, "Master Seventeen, you are joking. We are immortals who practice Taoism and do good deeds. How could we do such a thing? My Rat Immortal is also a good immortal who fights demons and defends Taoism. He will never hurt anyone's life. Wouldn't that destroy his immortal roots for life? Master, please don't talk nonsense."

At this time, a group of people came from behind them. Shen Wen took a look and immediately left the little Taoist boy behind. He smiled and pushed the little Taoist boy aside. He moved closer to the most distinguished person in the front of the crowd, grabbed the man's arm, and said affectionately: "Brother-in-law, it's my brother-in-law, right? Such a noble and imposing prince, who else could it be if not my brother-in-law, Prince Rui?"

Shen Wen thought he had acted well enough, being so servile that he didn't even look at Shen Shuyuan who was beside the prince.

Prince Rui never expected that Shen Wen would be so affectionate to him on their first formal meeting, which made Prince Rui lose his composure and cough dryly a few times.

Shen Shuyuan, who was standing by, quickly pulled Shen Wen away and brought him to her side, scolding him, "You are so rude and don't care about etiquette at all. Do you think royal relatives are the same as ordinary people? You must never call me brother-in-law."

Shen Wen also understood and said, "So that's how it is. I am sorry for being rude."

Prince Rui said quickly, "It doesn't matter. Isn't this your seventeenth brother? He is different from the others. Concubine Shen told me that among all the brothers, she and the seventeenth brother are the closest. Since he is Concubine Shen's closest one, he is just like my own brother. You can call him whatever you want."

Shen Wen immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Shen Wen looked at Prince Rui and said, "Hey, brother-in-law, have we met somewhere before?"

Prince Rui's face was embarrassed for a moment, and he smiled and said, "Really? I have no impression of that. I think Brother Seventeen has seen someone who looks very similar to me before."

Just now, when Shen Wen was trying to get rid of the little Taoist boy, he bumped into this man wearing royal python embroidery. In fact, he was not sure that he was the Prince Rui. However, the only prince who appeared here at this time was the Prince Rui. Shen Wen's actions were faster than his brain, and he did not see clearly what the Prince Rui looked like.

Later, during the conversation, he looked at Prince Rui carefully and suddenly recalled some scenes in his memory. He seemed to have come into contact with this person in the Yixiang Tower, especially Mr. Chunyu among them. He had dreamed of that person in Hongni Village, Dai County a few days ago.

Since Prince Rui did not admit that this matter happened, Shen Wen just passed it over.

Shen Wen said: "Brother-in-law, are you going home?"

Prince Rui said, "Yes, I am going back home. Your sister, the concubine, has been wronged, and I am still thinking about her. I am going back to see her. You two are siblings with deep affection. If you have time, come to our Prince Rui's mansion and have a chat. You two siblings can get closer."

Shen Wen said, "Is that so? Then I will go to your house to see what's going on. I will go and comfort Seventh Sister."

King Rui's eyes flickered and he said with a smile, "If that's the case, let's go."

Shen Wen was very affectionate, like a child, and put his hands on Prince Rui's arms, ignoring the little Taoist boy who was eager to stop him.
