The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 128: Life

Shen Yanfeng looked at his father with red eyes. He really didn't expect such a thing to happen. If he knew that it would kill Jiang Sujin, he would never ask her to come to the Shen Mansion no matter what he said.

Father Shen looked at his son's tears and couldn't help but put his hand on his shoulder.

"Son, three years ago, you were impeached by the ministers for privately mobilizing troops."

"The emperor saved you because he thought you were valuable to him."

"Now, you are no longer that valuable. What's worse, you have become a threat. Do you think the emperor will still be kind to you?"

"Jiang Sujin is already dead. She only had one guard by her side at the time, and more than a dozen people chased her. How could she not die?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng couldn't help but cover his face and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Father Shen couldn't help but pat him on the back and said, "The police have already started searching the city for the body. I believe they will find it soon."

"Go to the palace now and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask the Emperor to be lenient with your mother."

"This has already happened. Jiang Sujin can no longer be resurrected. Do you really want your mother to fight Jiang Sujin for her life? She is your mother, the one who gave birth to you and raised you."

Shen Yanfeng held back tears and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did mother want to kill Susu?"

Father Shen: "It's meaningless to talk about this now. The best thing to do now is to make big things small and small things nothing."

Shen Yanfeng knew that his current situation was indeed different from before. He couldn't drag everyone in the Shen family into this.

Shen Yanfeng left the Shen Mansion and rode his horse around the capital several times. He also circled around the pool of blood for more than ten times, but he found no clues.

Then he went directly to the cell and found Li Yi who was in custody.

He grabbed Li Yi by the collar and said through gritted teeth: "What on earth did you do to Su Jin?"

Li Yi: "I followed Madam Shen's orders and chased after the young lady, then stabbed her twice until she died."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng was so angry that he couldn't help but tremble all over: "Then where did you take her?"

Li Yi: "I buried her, but the place is too big and I forgot where I buried her."

"what!"

Shen Yanfeng knocked him to the ground and then beat him up.

Seeing this, Lin Feng hurriedly pulled Shen Yanfeng out of the cell.

He was afraid that if he beat the man to death, it would cause even more trouble.

When Lin Feng pulled Shen Yanfeng out, a shout suddenly came from the cell.

"Feng'er, my son!"

Shen Yanfeng looked over there with red eyes and saw his mother.

Mrs. Shen, who has always been dignified and elegant, is now unkempt and her clothes are covered in stains.

"Feng'er, mother is here!"

Shen Yanfeng once thought that he could rescue her, but he would never see her again in his life.

However, seeing her like this now, he finally softened his heart.

A moment later, he arrived at Mrs. Shen's cell.

Mrs. Shen threw herself into Shen Yanfeng's arms and cried, her cry was deafening.

Shen Yanfeng stood there with tears in his eyes. At this moment, his heart felt like it was cut by a knife. If he could do it all over again, he would rather not marry Jiang Sujin and would rather not meet her.

In this way, she would not die, and would not be raped by the bandits, and her mother would not be so foolish as to harm her and herself.

"Son, Mommy doesn't want to die. Mommy really doesn't want to die!"

Shen Yanfeng: "Why did you let someone kill Su Su?"

Madam Shen: "Li Yi said that he would find a group of people to pretend to be robbers and kidnap Jiang Sujin. Who knew that bastard Li Yi actually said in public that he was following my orders to kill Jiang Sujin, and Caiyue, that damn maid, heard it. Otherwise, no one would have discovered it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng could not help but said in a trembling voice: "You still think that you were right to send someone to kill her, and that Li Yi was wrong for not doing his job well?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen could not help but burst into tears again, "Son, I know this is wrong. Can you forgive me? I was just confused for a moment!" As she said that, she collapsed on the ground crying.

Shen Yanfeng looked at his mother crying bitterly and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Just stay in the cell. I will find a way to get you out."

"Son, you must save me. I can't die. I don't want to leave you and your father!"

Shen Yanfeng wiped the tears from his face, then turned and left the cell.

"Son, you must rescue mother!"

Shen Yanfeng didn't say anything, but just kept wiping his tears.

Jiang Sujin was the one he loved in his heart, and it was his mother who killed her. In theory, his mother should be killed in exchange for her own life.

But his mother was the one who gave birth to him and raised him, and he can never repay his parents’ kindness in his lifetime.

He couldn't bear to watch her being beheaded, nor could he see Jiang Sujin being killed in vain.

In order to appease the anger of the Jiang family and to atone for his mother's sins, he decided to die for his mother. This way, the emperor would not have to be afraid of him, the Shen family would be safe, and the world would be at peace.

Shen Yanfeng did not go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but went directly to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Emperor: "Lord Shen, what are you doing here at this time?"

Shen Yanfeng knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Shen ordered her servants to kill Jiang Sujin and she deserves death. But today I dare to ask for your grace. I hope you can forgive Madam Shen and not let her die."

The emperor said with a gloomy face: "If I forgive Madam Shen, how should I explain to Lord Jiang?"

Shen Yanfeng: "I am willing to die for my mother to appease Lord Jiang's anger."

The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this: "Dawei has laws. If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. If you owe a debt, you must pay it back. It's not right for a mother to kill someone and then let her son take the blame. This is not in line with Dawei's laws."

Shen Yanfeng: "It doesn't matter. Li Yi is an accomplice. As long as he changes his confession and accuses me of being the one who ordered him to kill Jiang Sujin, then I will have to die."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Shen has made great contributions to Dawei. If I allow Lord Shen to do this, I wonder how people will criticize me."

Shen Yanfeng: "Shen Yanfeng is notorious for his cruelty and brutality. He has killed people without mercy and treated his wife extremely harshly. Such a bastard should have been brought to justice long ago."

"If the emperor orders me to be put to death, I believe that both the common people and the court officials will feel that I deserve it."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor couldn't help but curl his lips: "Sir Shen, you are really a filial son. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still admires you so much."

"If I kill you, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also feel resentment towards me."

Shen Yanfeng: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very good relationship with Jiang Sujin. If he knew that it was me who sent someone to kill his second mother, he would hate me to the core."

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I need to discuss this with Lord Jiang, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Lord Jiang."

Shen Yanfeng: "I am waiting for the emperor's order. I hope the emperor can follow my wishes."

The emperor hummed: "Back off!"

Shen Yanfeng: "I will take my leave!"

Shen Yanfeng stood up and left the Yangxin Palace. It was obvious that the emperor was no longer bothered to pretend now.

It was in vain that he risked his life so many times for the royal family, but in the end he ended up being abandoned after his rabbit was dead.

Jiang Sujin, who had been in a coma for four days, finally woke up.

"Master, this woman is awake."

"Wow, you are so lucky to be able to wake up after such a serious injury."

As he spoke, the old man came to Jiang Sujin's bedside and said, "Little girl, if the knife wound on your back had been a little more to the side, you would have died completely."

Jiang Sujin licked her cracked lips and said, "Water~ I want to drink some water~"

"You have to wait until your internal injuries heal for a few days before you can drink water."

Jiang Sujin: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

"No, it's not certain whether you can survive now!"
