The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 163 2 Sister-in-law Allows Son to Kill

At the family dinner that day, the Shen family members probably realized that Shen Wen, a cowardly and unlucky guy, was someone they couldn't afford to offend, so they didn't bother to offend him easily. Or maybe it was the Marquis' order to continue to favor this person, so why go against the Marquis's wishes for a moment's pleasure?

Shen Wen stayed in the mansion very peacefully until the evening, when Butler Shen came to Linchaoju with an invitation.

When Butler Shen saw Shen Wen, he smiled widely and looked at Shen Wen with extremely kind eyes. If you didn't know, you would think Shen Wen was his biological son.

Housekeeper Shen handed the invitation to Shen Wen and said, "This is the invitation from the Seventeenth Young Master. I was just about to go out and happened to meet the person delivering the invitation, so I brought it to you... Can you take a look? Oh! By the way, the Marquis asked you to go to the Ming Geng Courtyard this morning. There is nothing to do. Just go about your business. Don't forget to go over and have a few words with him when you are free."

Shen Wen took the invitation and nodded, saying, "I'm glad you're fine. Since Grandfather said so, it means you're really fine. Please tell Grandfather that Shen Wen is very grateful for his troubles. He is the one that Shen Wen is most grateful to in his life. I don't know how to repay him."

After hearing this, Butler Shen couldn't hide his joy from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that Shen Wen had no intention of opening the invitation on the spot, he gave up and said goodbye to Shen Wen.

Shen Wen watched him walk away, then looked at the font on the invitation.

"It's not the same font as yesterday, but it looks familiar."

He opened it and looked.

"Meet at Baiji Noodle House at the end of the You hour."

These words are unremarkable, but the key point is that there is a picture attached. The picture is blatant and vulgar. It looks like a man, but the details have woman's characteristics. This is not the point. The focus is on the hairpin worn on the head, which is the hairpin that the predecessor often wore.

Shen Wen's eyes turned cold.

Shen Ju!

Zhi Nuan came over and took a quick look and said, "Bai's Noodle House? This place is not a good place to go. Are you going there to keep your appointment, sir?"

Shen Wen said: "I want to go see who asked me out. What? Is Baiji Noodle House a shady shop?"

Zhi Nuan said, "It's not really a black shop, but it's a place that young men in the capital like to go to. The wine there is spiked with ingredients, and when they want to have some excitement, they go there to drink a few pots of wine. Anyway, it's dirty and messy, and strange things happen there frequently. They've even been sued. But Baiji Noodle House is still open as usual."

This is the so-called opium den and hookah parlor. I never thought such a thing would exist here.

Shen Wen said: "To be able to open a restaurant like this, the boss behind the scenes must be a person with great financial resources and power."

Zhinuan chuckled and whispered in Shen Wen's ear, "It just so happens that this restaurant is now managed by our three families."

Shen Wen was surprised when he heard this!

Shen Wen changed his clothes and then took Zhinuan out.

When the two people passed by the arch bridge next to Jianxin Pavilion, two children about seven or eight years old passed by Shen Wen.

Shen Wen noticed that the two men had strange expressions on their faces. While they were bowing to him, they tilted their heads and looked to the side, glancing towards the bottom of the arch bridge seven or eight times.

There was no flowing water under the arch bridge, only a shallow ditch surrounded by long weeds.

Shen Wen asked them, "You all studied in the clan's private school, right? Do you know who I am? Which family are you from?"

The sullen man shook his head and said, "There are more than a dozen young masters in this mansion. We haven't met all of them. The elders in the family said that when walking around in this mansion, no matter who you meet, you should greet them before walking around. In addition, the young master said whose family we are from. I am the grandson of Shen Panzi from Shenjiazhuang, and I am a relative of the Hou Mansion. My brother is Shen Bifeng, and I am his younger brother Shen Wu."

The other one was a little timid, probably because he had just been frightened. He gently tugged at the corner of Shen Wu's clothes with his little hand, not knowing what was going on. He told Shen Wu to stop talking nonsense and leave.

Shen Wen had sharp eyes, so he naturally caught a glimpse of the strangeness of the child's other hand.

"Your hand is so swollen? Can you stretch it out for me to see?"

The child didn't dare to move.

The other one pushed him back and said with a smile, "It's nothing. We were just playing around and got hurt accidentally. Sir, please go and do your work. We are leaving now."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

They held hands and as they moved, their swollen hands were exposed, allowing Shen Wen to take a thorough look.

Shen Wen narrowed his eyes and said to Zhi Nuan beside him: "Did you see his injured hand? It's not just swollen! The color is purple and blue. This looks like poisoning."

Zhi Nuan said, "There is a kind of snake venom that will make you look like this when bitten. What do you think, sir? Should I save you or not?"

Shen Wen said, "The snake venom takes effect very quickly. Once the time comes, even the best doctors can't save him. Go and bring him back. I'll take a look and let him bleed first to slow down the venom."

Zhinuan then moved and ran towards the two children like a sharp arrow.

As soon as Zhi Nuan left, a woman behind Shen Wen said sarcastically, "Hey? Isn't this Brother Seventeen? You've become a very busy man, where are you going? Who can stand such a jinx like you? You really don't know your place!"

Shen Wen looked back and saw that it was the wife and son of the second son Shen Shuofeng. The son was born to the first wife, about seven or eight years old, and was not the biological son of Nian.

Nian held her son Shen Yu in her arms, and in the eyes of others, they were as close as real mother and son.

Shen Wen ignored Nian Shi, not even giving her a glance. He said to Shen Yu, "Did you go to the private school at home to study today?"

Although Shen Yu didn't quite remember what Shen Wen looked like, based on the rumors at home, he could naturally guess that this was Uncle Seventeen, so he bent down and said, "Uncle Seventeen, he went to a private school, and I just came back after finishing my studies."

Shen Wen was well aware of the daily routine of the ancients teaching the younger generation. With the relationship at hand, he didn't want to bother with Nian, so he had to continue, "Your father has studied for so many years, and he is simply obsessed with books. You are his son, so you should naturally follow your father's example. When you attend private school at home, you must not learn from those dandies who are spoiled by women, have no good intentions at all, and play with and exploit your relatives."

Nian's face became more and more gloomy. She pretended to pat the dust off Shen Yu's body, touched Shen Yu's shoulder with her left hand and said, "My dearest child! Do you remember what I taught you yesterday? You are the grandchild of our Hou Mansion, not the child of some slave or actor. People like us who are clean... must show off our power. No matter which courtyard the slave or servant is from, no matter whether he has seniority or not, just suppress him and see who dares to do anything to you."

Shen Yu immediately smiled and replied, "Mom! I know! This is the first time that Uncle Seventeen and I have met, so I will give him some leniency. Oh! By the way, Uncle Seventeen, I have a meeting gift for you! Uncle Seventeen, please accept it."

As he said this he took out a gift from his sleeve.

He kept rummaging with a strange look on his face, muttering, "It's right in my sleeve! Where did it go?"

Before Shen Wen noticed, he had already moved closer to Shen Wen.

Suddenly, he pulled the thing out of his sleeve and shouted with a grin, "Here!"

A big naked snake!

Shen Yu, this bad boy, thought he would scare Shen Wen to jump up, so he chuckled twice first.

Finding that nothing happened as he expected, he was stunned for two seconds and looked at the snake in surprise.

Shen Wen also looked at the snake.

"Is it a five-step snake? Judging from its age, is it an adult snake?"

However, the snake was listless, and its body was drooping limply, like a thick spicy strip.

Shen Wen had experienced this kind of snake.

It was forced to release venom, but it released too much venom and consumed too much energy.

Shen Wen said: "This is the first time I've seen a venomous snake become so pitiful. It looks like you often force it to release venom. This snake won't live long."

When Shen Yu heard that the snake was dying and had no value anymore, he just threw it away.

Shen Wen thought of the two children from before, and he said, "You said you just came home from school, so did you let the snake bite the two Shen family children in front of you?"

Shen Yu pretended not to hear and turned to look under the bridge.

Nian hugged her son and said to Shen Wen warily, "What do you want to do, Seventeenth Brother? My son is a good boy, don't scare him. If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly. It's unfortunate to meet you. It's really a spoilsport! Yu'er, let's go home."

After saying that, he hugged Shen Yu and walked past Shen Wen.

They passed by Zhinuan who had returned.

Zhi Nuan said, "The child's poison is gone. I have antidote medicine on me. I first drained the poison from the child's blood, gave him pills, and applied external medicine. He won't die."

Shen Wen nodded.

Zhi Nuan looked back at the backs of Nian Shi and Shen Yu walking away, and said, "The healthy child saw me cure his brother of the snake venom, and he told me what happened."

Shen Wen said, "It was Shen Yu who did it, right? Tell me exactly how he did it. Tell me everything the child described in detail, don't leave out any details."

Zhinuan looked at the bushes under the arch bridge and said, "That kid tricked people into the bushes under the bridge, and threw the snake on them when they were not noticing. He laughed as he watched them terribly frightened. They said this wasn't the first time he did this. Their family's master reported it to Second Madam, but Second Madam was too protective of her children, so the Marquis' Mansion suppressed them and secretly gave them some money to send them off."

As the two were talking, they heard two maids running under the bridge. After searching for a while, they picked up a bloody little rabbit. Another maid said distressedly, "It's been tortured so badly again. Master Yu's methods are getting more and more terrible. It's like there's a devil living in his heart."

The maid said, "The key is that grandma not only doesn't care but also spoils him. She always gives us a lot of money and asks us to buy these things for Young Master Yu. Forget it, we should bury him quickly. This matter must not be known to anyone. If people find out that Young Master Yu has this problem, then we will definitely be punished by Second Grandma..."
