Chapter 12 Vicious
  After Zhou Shaocheng learned that his two sons had such impressive achievements, he felt mixed emotions, including joy, guilt, and fear. Soon he made a decision in his heart to bring Zhou Rui and Zhou Yun back. Slowly repair the meager father-son relationship between them.

Zhou Shaocheng came to pick him up personally. Zhou Rui and Zhou Yun could not refuse and had to return to Zhou's house.

At this time, Zhou Shaocheng was already a third-rank Minister of Household Affairs because of the support of the Duke of Zhen.

On the other hand, Shen Qichen was still the minister of the Ministry of Personnel because of the deliberate suppression by the Duke of Zhen.

Lin Xue's sons, Zhou Yu and Zhou Wen, one is an uneducated person who fights cocks and walks dogs, while the other is not talented enough to hold a big position.

Zhou Yu is five months younger than Zhou Yun, and Zhou Wen is two years younger than Zhou Yun. Neither of them even passed the entrance examination. There is no harm if there is no comparison. Zhou Shaocheng's heart gradually tilted toward Zhou Rui and Zhou Yun. Yun, this also made Lin Xue break her silver teeth.

Lin Xue knew very well that the reason why Zhou Shaocheng valued Zhou Rui and Zhou Yun was because they could bring glory to the Zhou family. Then he started to use one poisonous trick after another.

First, several beautiful maids were arranged to serve them personally, and then they were seduced, drugged, and the methods were endless. The purpose was to make them indulge in female sex and neglect their studies.

It's a pity that Zhou Rui and Zhou Yun are determined and unmoved.

They also mentioned this to Zhou Shaocheng, but Zhou Shaocheng was blown away by Lin Xue's pillow and in turn scolded them for slandering Lin Xue.

From then on, the two of them lived cautiously every day, fearing that they would be caught accidentally. Zhou Yun originally planned to travel after autumn, but seeing this situation, he did not dare to leave the capital.

When Lin Xue's plan failed, she made another plan, which was to marry Zhou Rui.

After hearing the news, Shen Qichen strongly opposed it on the grounds that it would affect his studies. Unfortunately, Zhou Shaocheng said that he should get married first and then start a career, so Shen Qichen had to compromise.

Shen Qichen was only Zhou Rui's grandfather. With Zhou Shaocheng as his father, he knew that Lin Xue was not well-intentioned but could not change it, which made him hate and angry.

Zhou Rui's wife is a distant relative of Lin Xue. Her parents are gone and she lives with her uncle. She has a fierce temper, but she is quite smart and capable. She understands that a husband and wife are of one mind and both prosper and suffer. She helped Zhou Rui avoid Lin Xue several times. Snow's plot.

Lin Xue was so angry that she felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoofs, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one night.

Zhou Rui lived up to expectations. He performed well in Chunwei the following year and was selected as the number one scholar by the emperor.

The seventeen-year-old No. 1 Scholar was the first No. 1 scholar to win three prizes in a row since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. When the official came to announce the good news, Zhou Shaocheng excitedly patted Zhou Rui's shoulder and laughed loudly, while Lin Xue also pretended to be very happy.

Shen Qichen also smiled happily. Zhou Shaocheng is ruthless and ruthless, but his two grandsons are the best.

Zhou Yun was also happy for his brother, and the two couldn't wait to tell their mother. After visiting Shen Ru's grave, Zhou Yun left Beijing to travel.

Two years later, when Zhou Yun returned from traveling, he heard that his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew were going to Zhangde Mansion to take up their posts. When passing through Feishaling, they were chased by a group of bandits who suddenly appeared. The family of three fell into the abyss under the cliff. No bones remain.

When Shen Qichen sent his confidants to Feishaling to investigate, all traces had been wiped clean.

The information I found was that there were honest people around Feishaling and there were no bandits at all. The local government explained that they were a group of passing bandits.

Zhou Rui traveled low-key, so why did he encounter bandits?

The most important thing is that the two groups of people passing by Feishaling were fine. Such a coincidence, Zhou Rui and the others met the bandits?
  Instinct told Shen Qichen that all of this was related to Lin Xue, but he couldn't find any evidence, which made him very frustrated. After the crown prince ascended the throne, the daughter of the Lin family was promoted to a noble concubine. As the second prince born to Concubine Lin gradually grew up, more and more officials attached themselves to the Duke of Zhen, and their actions became more cautious. With the help of the Duke of Zhen, Shen Qichen Naturally, no clues can be found.

Lin Xue hated Zhou Rui, so she sent someone to kill him, so her next target would be Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun hated Zhou Shaocheng and Lin Xue so much that he was unwilling to return to Zhou Mansion.

Shen Zhuoyun and Zhou Yun discussed it for a while and finally decided that Zhou Yun would cut off their relationship with Zhou Shaocheng and change their surname to Shen, taking from his mother's surname.

Of course Zhou Shaocheng was unwilling, but when Shen Qichen showed evidence that Zhou Shaocheng's parents and brothers used his status to bully the people, roamed the countryside, accepted bribes, and carried human lives on their backs, Zhou Shaocheng agreed.

The next day, he wrote a handwritten letter of divorce and handed it to the Yamen. From then on, Zhou Yun changed his name to Shen Zhuoyun.

It's a pity that they were happy too early and underestimated the ugliness and viciousness of human nature.

One night a few days later, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and everything was silent. Shen Zhuoyun was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a heat wave.

When he opened his eyes, he saw flames spreading in the room. The fire was raging and the smoke was billowing. Shen Zhuoyun didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly ran out of the room holding his nose.

Shen Zhuoyun was still in shock when he saw that the direction of Shen Qichen's yard was also filled with flames.

He had a very bad feeling in his heart and ran quickly towards the burning yard. The house where the fire broke out was Shen Qichen's dormitory. Several servants were hurriedly carrying water to put out the fire, but there was no movement from the people inside.

Shen Zhuoyun grabbed a bucket of water from the servant, poured it on himself, and then rushed into the bedroom.

In the dormitory, Shen Qichen closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless, completely unaware of the fire around him.

Shen Zhuoyun didn't have time to think too much, he picked up Shen Qichen and rushed out. He kicked open the blazing door, ignoring the burning wood falling overhead, and finally left before the house collapsed.

This incident alarmed the emperor, who sent eunuchs to understand the situation and several imperial doctors to diagnose and treat Shen Qichen.

After being diagnosed by the imperial physician, Shen Qichen was drugged and inhaled too much smoke. His lungs were seriously infected and he did not have much time left.

The emperor was furious and ordered Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation and rewarded Shen Qichen with many precious medicinal materials.

Dali Temple searched and searched but could not find out the reason. In the end, the case was concluded that a young boy of the Shen family set the fire in revenge for a personal grudge.

Shen Zhuoyun clenched his fists angrily and with red eyes wanted to avenge Shen Qichen, but Shen Qichen persuaded him to stop.

He said: "So what if we know that Zhou Shaocheng and Lin Xue sent people to set the fire? The boys who drugged and set the fire have already perished in the flames. Without conclusive evidence, we can't do anything to them."

The emperor has intervened. While they are afraid to take action for the time being, the most important thing is to plan the future path. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. We must endure it first, turn light into darkness, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity. "

Shen Qichen was worried that Shen Zhuoyun would not listen to his advice, so he called in his friend Qingpingbo Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu's eldest granddaughter Gu Muyao is Shen Zhuoyun's fiancée. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship.
