Chapter 300
——Master Shen's Mansion
The sedan chair stopped outside Shen's mansion, Shen Zishan sighed, got off the carriage with a heavy heart, and walked towards the mansion, but before he entered, he heard a sound of beating.
"Get out! Get out!" Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of porcelain shattering, Mrs. Shen's scolding came from the room.
In a moment, the maids left the house with their heads down, their faces pale.
"grown ups."
"En." Shen Zishan responded lightly, and walked into the house.
"Ma'am, this is you." Shen Zishan looked at the mess on the ground, and couldn't help but frowned and said.
"Shen Zishan! When will my son come back!" Seeing him, the woman's anger, which had nowhere to vent, finally found an opening, strode forward, and shouted loudly.
"Madam, calm down." Shen Zishan rescued the skirt from his wife's hands and comforted him in a low voice, "Jianghuai disaster is serious, Zhe'er must stay longer!"
"Shen Zishan, you still want to lie to me!" Mrs. Shen stood up suddenly, looked at him aggressively and cried, "Zhe'er was assassinated, right! He was injured!"
Shen Zishan's face changed suddenly. When he first learned that Shen Zhe was assassinated, he deliberately hid it from his wife, but she still knew about it.
"Ma'am, don't listen to nonsense, Zhe'er is doing very well. A few days ago, there was a secret letter saying that the drought in the Jianghuai River has been alleviated, and she will return to Beijing soon!" Shen Zishan hugged the woman in his arms and comforted her in a deep voice.
"Wuuuu Shen Zishan! I'm just such a son. If he has any troubles, I will die with you! I told him not to let him go to that remote place, but you insisted on letting him exercise. Now it's fine, man They're all gone woohoo" Mrs. Shen nestled in his arms, crying and cursing, the more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and she wished she could let go of her anger.
"It's okay, it's okay, Zhe'er will be fine." Shen Zishan's eyes darkened slightly, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Madam Shen or himself.
After comforting his wife, Shen Zishan returned to the study with a gloomy and terrible face, and looked down at the letter handed over by the butler, which said, "If you want to save Shen Zhe, go to the teahouse outside Shen Shicheng alone. If you don't come or Tell others, Shen Zhe will surely die."
It turned out that this letter somehow appeared in the study of the mansion without anyone noticing it, and it happened to be discovered by Mrs. Shen who came in to look for something. Only then did she know that something happened to Shen Zhe. Worries and fears were not publicized until Shen Zishan came back from the palace.
"Who else knows about this?" Shen Zishan subconsciously clenched the letter tightly, wrinkling the paper so hard.
"There is no one else. Madam knows that the matter is serious and she didn't say anything, but she is very worried about your son." The housekeeper lowered his head slightly, his eyes were filled with deep worry.
"Well, don't let the fourth person know about this, it may bring disaster to the Shen family." Shen Zishan looked at him with a serious expression and said in a steady voice.
"Don't worry, my lord, it's just an appointment in this teahouse." The butler nodded and asked immediately.
"Go." Shen Zishan thought and replied introvertedly. Although Gu Jingyao promised to save Shen Zhe, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He only has this one son. I must also make a breakthrough.
At the same time, in Jianghuai Governor's Mansion, the man lying on the roof of the West Wing was pale, he pursed his lips and forced himself to sit up, and walked to the door.
"Let me out! How dare you detain the imperial court official!" The man's voice was not loud, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"My lord, go back, you can't go anywhere, don't make things difficult for us!" The soldier guarding the door pushed the man back mercilessly, and said coldly.
Shen Zhe didn't notice, took two steps back, barely stood still, his face was unbearably ashamed and indignant, his injury hadn't healed yet, so he had to sit back again.
That day, as usual, he was giving alms and porridge, but he did not expect to be assassinated in the street by a vicious man. A cold dagger was mercilessly inserted into his chest, so as to save his life.
Lu Zhongsheng said that the man was a troublemaker and wanted to get more food, so he took the risk and put all his eggs in one basket, and was executed on the spot.
But he always felt that something was wrong, the man's eyes were ruthless, without any panic, if it was really a hungry victim, there was no greed in his eyes, but more ruthlessness, as if he came here for his own life.
It had been a few days since he woke up, and he noticed something wrong, but was trapped here by Lu Zhongsheng with the reason that he was sick and needed to recuperate.
"Squeak~"
There was a sound of pushing the door, and a girl in a bright yellow long dress came in. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, fair-born, with small and delicate features, and a pair of big watery eyes that made people couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Shen Zhe glanced at it, turned aside with a stern face, and ignored it.
The girl was not annoyed, she put down the food, and said softly, "Master Shen, Ru'er brought you some food, you can use some of it!"
Lu Xiaoru, Lu Zhongsheng's daughter-in-law, said with a smile in her eyes.
"Take it away." Shen Zhe said coldly, not even bothering to look at him.
Lu Xiaoru pursed her lips, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face, during these days, she came to take care of him every day, but he was always cold.
"Master Shen, Ru'er knows that you are bored here. These are the books I brought. If you finish reading them, Ru'er can find them for you!" Lu Xiaoru smiled and looked at his sincere words. Open your mouth.
"I want to go out." Shen Zhe turned around suddenly, frowned slightly with his pretty eyebrows, stared at Lu Xiaoru and decided to speak.
"But. But Daddy said that your injury is still not healed, so you can't walk around at will." Lu Xiaoru bit her lip lightly, her eyebrows seemed to be tangled, and she hesitated to speak.
"Chi~" Shen Zhe looked into her eyes, suddenly sneered mockingly, opened the distance between the two, and said in a very light tone, "You go."
"I" Lu Xiaoru looked at him like this, hesitated to speak, and felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
"The girl is also a person who knows the book and respects the rituals, how can she not understand the truth that human life is at stake? You think that if you lock me here, no one will know that you are pocketing your own money and disregarding human life?" Shen Zhe turned around abruptly, grabbed Holding the woman's arm, with an angry face, he raised his voice.
Lu Xiaoru's face turned pale, and he explained, "No, no, Dad wouldn't do this. Now, there are many fewer victims in Jianghuai City, and the lives of the people have returned to normal."
Hearing her slightly pale answer, Shen Zhe sneered, and let go of her shoulders, "Since the girl chooses to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and to work for the tiger, Shen has nothing to say, please come back, girl, and don't need to come again !"
Lu Xiaoru bit her lip, and looked at him with his back turned to her, as if he would be too dirty to look at him even more, and felt a throbbing pain in his heart. They were clearly just one step away, but they seemed to be out of reach.
