The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 222 He is in jail for the second time

Shen Shuchan vomited and yelled at Master Shen Wu, tore up the paper, pointed at Master Shen Wu and cursed: "You are worthy of being called a human? Don't you just want us to die? Fine! At worst, we can die together! I tell you, I can also hire someone to kill someone, and I don't lack that little money. I just want to see if you dare to walk out of this prison. Once you leave this cell, you will be hunted down. Let's die together. I want to perish with you and the Shen family."

Shen Wen stopped Shen Shuchan and advised, "Fifth sister, it's not necessary, it's not necessary. It's just a piece of paper. It's not going to kill us immediately. As long as we are alive, there is hope. Fifth sister, don't lose your temper."

Shen Shuchan was so angry that she almost fainted. She leaned on Shen Wen and cried, "Why are we so miserable?"

Shen Wen asked the jailer to bring another piece of paper from outside, and this time he successfully wrote a letter of commitment. He handed it to Master Shen Wu and said, "Show it to Master Shen. Now you change your confession immediately, and then my fifth sister can get out of this prison."

Master Shen Wu took the letter of commitment and stuffed it into his chest, saying with a wooden face: "I understand, but you have to make it clear to Master Ruan that Shen Deli's tomb robbery has nothing to do with me. I want to go out with Sister Qi."

Shen Wen said: "This is easy to say. From the perspective of time, you didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime. I remember very clearly that you were beaten severely and unconscious in bed at that time."

Master Shen Wu blinked and said, "Yes! How could I have forgotten to mention this?"

Shen Wen was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and walked towards the cell door. He suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "But speaking of which, who did you offend back then? You were beaten so badly that you were unconscious. I heard others say it, but it would be more reliable to hear you say it yourself. Why? Because of that mistress?"

Master Shen Wu looked unnatural when asked. He stared and said, "Don't ask about my affairs. What do you mean by mistress? I only had one concubine."

Shen Wen laughed and said, "You are confused but I am clear-headed. That concubine was raised by my mistress. Isn't she just a person? Isn't she the one who gave birth to me? It's understandable that you don't ask others to mention it, but why can't you let me mention it? I tell you, we are blood relatives. Even you have to stand aside. Wait, sooner or later I will find out about him. You'd better not do anything to let him down, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death."

Shen Wen's words were merciless, but as a father, they weighed heavily on his mind.

Unexpectedly, Master Shen Wu was not angry at all. He softened his attitude and said, "I won't do that kind of thing. How could I possibly do something to let him down?"

Watching his expression change like turning pages of a book, Shen Wen was really impressed by this man.

Shen Wen didn't care about Master Shen Wu and Shen Shuchan, and walked out of the prison before them.

Shen Shuchan was the second one to leave the prison. Servants from Prince Rui's mansion were already waiting to take her away.

Master Shen Wu also came out of the prison easily, but just as he stood at the door, Ruan Qingxia's master came with an official document and said to Master Shen Wu: "Shen Pingchang, you have been sued. Your father-in-law Hua Yuancai cheated you of his property. They have witnesses and physical evidence. Do you plead guilty?"

Master Shen Wu was confused by the question. What did he have to plead guilty for? He stared and said, "When did I do such a thing? Are you sure you are mistaken? How could my father-in-law sue me? So far, I have only accepted a little spiritual compensation from Hua Shi before she came into the family. How can this be considered as harming property?"

The lawyer showed him the confession written by Hua Yuancai. He took it and the more he read it, the more excited he became. He said with shaking hands, "This is impossible! I have never colluded with his housekeeper to plot against the Hua family's property. This is completely false. This is a false accusation."

The lawyer said, "It's written in black and white, and the amount of property you stole is also true. The stolen goods were hidden under the bed of your concubine. Do you dare to say that there is no maid named Li Mahua in your family?"

Master Shen Wu's head was buzzing. He covered his head and said something, for he was about to faint from anger.

In this way, Master Shen Wu was caught by the jailer and taken back to prison.

Shen Wen, who was hiding not far away, looked at Chu Yanqiu beside him and sneered: "Are you interested?"

Chu Yanqiu said, "What does this have to do with me? This time it was his father-in-law who wanted to punish him. Who told you, the Shen family, and his son-in-law, to treat his daughter so harshly? Hua Yuancai must be thinking that if he doesn't teach the Shen family a lesson, they will really think that his Hua family has no temper."

Shen Wen sighed and said, "The Hua family is wrong. What's the point of arresting Master Shen Wu? Even if they file a lawsuit and put him in jail for life, the Shen family won't say a word."

When Chu Yanqiu looked at Shen Wen again, there was pity in his eyes. He stroked the messy hair on his forehead and said, "It's hard for you to have such a father."

Shen Wen took a step back, looking at his clear eyes, and said, "Master Chu is considerate of me, I thank you, but I don't know if Master Chu is so loving to everyone. I heard that Master Chu is famous for his romantic reputation, and it seems to be true."

Chu Yanqiu was happy to see him still being so jealous, but he didn't know how to deal with it. Chu Yanqiu wanted to reach out and embrace him, but he avoided her. Feeling more annoyed, Chu Yanqiu said, "Don't be like this all the time. Why do you always let other people's affairs disturb our relationship? You know, in my opinion, there are only you and me in this world. Why do you care what those mortals say and do?"

Shen Wen raised his eyebrows. This was probably the most reluctant confession of love that someone like Chu Yanqiu could say. It was a pity that he was heartless and cold-hearted.

Forget it. Since I have no love for this person, it was his words that were inappropriate just now.

Shen Wen bowed again and said, "Master Chu, please don't misunderstand me. I am a person who likes to talk nonsense. Just treat the conversation just now as if it never happened. I am a mortal, just the opposite of a noble man like Master Chu. I will not disturb you any more and will leave now."

Chu Yanqiu grabbed him and said anxiously, "Who told you to leave? Why don't you understand what I said? I've already told you that from now on you're my only woman. What does it matter how many wives and concubines I have at home?"

Shen Wen was really annoyed by this man. He gritted his teeth, kicked the man on the calf, and forcibly pulled away his sleeve and said, "Do you have any shame? What do you mean by you and me? What do I have to do with you? I am the legitimate son of the Shen family. I will marry a wife and a concubine in the future. You should understand it clearly. If you want to get horny, go find someone else. The girls of the civil and military families in the court are waiting for you in a line. Get out of here! I don't want to bother with you."

It's the Shen family again.

Chu Yanqiu was fed up with the Shen family that gave birth to him and raised him. Chu Yanqiu was hurt. The Shen family treated him so badly, but he helped him everywhere. At the critical moment, he still stood by the Shen family, always using this to remind them that they couldn't be together. Couldn't he see that he treated him differently?

Chu Yanqiu no longer forced him, and took a step back, saying: "Since you can't see how good I am to you, we have a long way to go. One day you will understand what I said to you today."

Shen Wen pouted and glared at him, "Master Chu, have you finished your business? It's not a good idea to hang around in Yingtian Prefecture all the time. I'll take my leave now. Please do as you please."

After saying that, Shen Wen turned around and left.

This time Chu Yanqiu stood still and did not pester him any further.

Shen Wen knew that Doctor Sun liked to come to Yingtian Prefecture to look for Coroner Qiu these days, so he changed his route and went to see Coroner Qiu.

Just when he was halfway there, he ran into Constable Lei talking to a few yamen runners. When Constable Lei and his men saw that it was Shen Wen, they hurriedly greeted him.

Shen Wen saw that several people seemed to be discussing something, so he asked, "What happened? What are you discussing?"

Constable Lei said with a sad face: "Tian Liuer's mother passed away."

Shen Wen was surprised and asked, "When did it happen?"

Constable Lei said, "It happened yesterday. Since Liu'er died, her mother was devastated and her condition became worse day by day. She passed away yesterday. We gathered here to discuss how to add some money to Liu'er's mother's funeral. Their family suffered such a disaster that they can't even afford to hire someone to bury her."

Shen Wen said: "This is called a broken family. If this is the case, let's go and see the burial tomorrow and give Liu'er's mother a proper farewell."

Constable Lei said, "Seventeenth Master is going too? Then we'll wait for you. Lord Ruan Qingxia is also going."

Shen Wen then made the deal with them.

At this time, someone called Shen Wen. Shen Wen turned around and saw that it was Shen Yifeng, the third son of the Shen family.

Constable Lei and his men went about their own business, leaving the two of them to talk.

Shen Yifeng asked, "Seventeenth brother, have you seen Uncle Five?"

Shen Wen nodded.

Shen Yifeng said, "It doesn't make sense that Uncle Wu should take the blame for the crimes committed by those slaves. I came here to meet Lord Ruan. Uncle Yan wrote to me a few days ago. I went out of town to deal with Uncle Yan's affairs and just came back today. I heard that Uncle Wu has been locked up for a few days. Shen Shu's people are all busy with their own affairs now, and they probably don't have time to take care of Uncle Wu's affairs. Don't get angry. After all, there are three third-rank officials to take care of Uncle Wu, so he will be fine."

Shen Wen said, "He's fine. Shen Deli has already explained the matter of stealing ancient tombs. But this is his second time in jail, because...his father-in-law sued him for property theft. If the Hua family doesn't withdraw the lawsuit, he will definitely be in jail."

Shen Yifeng was so confused that he could only think: "How is this possible? This is happening too fast."

Shen Wen said, "You don't believe it? You can go ask the master beside Lord Ruan now. He was the one who personally sent your fifth uncle back to the prison."

Shen Yifeng immediately grabbed Shen Wen and said, "You asked me to ask, then what are you going to do? Are you going back to that Lord Chu? No, you must go home with me today. You don't know, Lord Chu is dealing with our Shen family behind our backs. The Shen family and the Ji family have never been on good terms. If you get too close to him, you will definitely be bullied by both sides. This is absolutely not allowed."

Shen Wen was pulled by this third brother, and his words were full of concern for him, which surprised him.

Shen Yifeng took him to Ruan Qingxia's study first. Unfortunately, Ruan Qingxia was out for work, so Shen Yifeng took Shen Wen out of Yingtian Prefecture and went home.
