Chapter 103
Zhou Yuchen's aura was so strong that Shen Ling was trembling with fear. However, his instinct for survival made him tremble as he spoke out what he wanted to say: "Your Highness Prince Qi, General Gu's daughter is now my wife! If you really want..."
Shen Ling is really shameless. He is still openly trying to use Gu Nianchu to escape at this time.
Zhou Yuchen smiled: "Shen Shizi, do you think that the emperor can't do anything to you? The emperor was able to grant you and Miss Gu a marriage, so he could naturally let you divorce. Based on the wicked things you did to Miss Gu, do you think Miss Gu and the General's Mansion will still help you?"
Shen Ling's face turned very ugly: "But now Gu Nianchu is my, Shen Ling's, wife! As long as I refuse to divorce her, she must die with my Shen family!"
Zhou Yuchen nodded to show that he understood, and waved his hand to tell Shen Ling to get out.
A scoundrel always makes others pay for their mistakes with a clear conscience. As long as he is shameless, he can morally blackmail others.
Now Shen Ling is determined to rely on Gu Nianchu, no matter whether Gu Nianchu likes their Shen family or not. As long as she is a member of their Shen family, they can suck her blood.
This news soon reached the ears of the Gu family.
The three sisters-in-law, Liu, Wang and Xiao Xie, all had angry looks on their faces and cursed the Shen family's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Gu Nianchu was very calm: "Three sisters-in-law, please don't get angry. Shen Ling is just desperate. The more shameless he is, the more the emperor will dislike the Shen family. They are just in name only. Let them do whatever they want."
Liu was still angry that Shen Ling dared to use her elder sister to escape punishment: "But, if this is the case, when will my elder sister be able to divorce him?"
Hearing Liu's question, the Gu family looked at Gu Nianchu together. They had wanted Gu Nianchu and Shen Ling to divorce for a long time, but Gu Nianchu said that the time had not come yet, so they could only wait. Now it should be about time.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it will be over soon. Shen Ling can't hold on for much longer."
Gu Nianchu smiled and comforted her family: "Dear sisters-in-law, please rest assured that I will not be tied to death by such a scum."
Shen Ling and Lord Shen were not arrested. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, out of respect for the Gu family, did not convict them of deceiving the emperor. After he reported the matter to the emperor, the emperor asked him how to deal with the Shen father and son.
His Royal Highness Prince Qi smiled and said, "Father, they are just two fools. Since Grandfather has told you that their titles will not be revoked unless they commit treason, then you should keep their titles as Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion. It's just like supporting two idle people. People in the world will only praise Father for his kindness and generosity."
The emperor was very happy and did not punish the Shen father and son any further.
However, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has been confiscated to compensate Tutor Wang, so where the Shen family and his son will live is a problem.
Lord Shen also had several concubines and illegitimate sons. They looked at Lord Shen eagerly and said, "Lord, what should we do now?"
Lord Shen asked the concubines, "Did you not bring any valuables with you when you came out?"
How could the concubines know that they could no longer live in the Marquis's mansion? When they were driven out, all they could take out were the jewelry they were wearing. They all shook their heads and said, "No, Marquis, how could we know that we could never go back after leaving."
"Take off the pearl hairpins on your heads and pawn them for some money. We'll find an inn to stay in first."
Lord Shen directly ordered several concubines to take off the jewelry on their heads and pawn them. Several concubines were dumbfounded: "Lord, this..." Lord Shen was impatient: "Hurry up!"
The concubines were not happy, but there was nothing they could do. They could only pawn their jewelry and find an inn to stay in. The innkeeper was quite nice and even agreed to buy them food on credit.
"Lord Shen, no matter what, you are still the Marquis of Zhenbei, so we will let you buy on credit, but when your salary comes, remember to pay off the store's expenses first."
Nowadays, everyone knows that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion owes a lot of money.
The sale of the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion could only barely fill the hole in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Although the Liu family said in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi that they did not lend 200,000 taels of silver to the Marquis' Mansion, everyone knew that the Liu family would definitely ask Shen Ling to pay back the money later.
No one knew where Xu Yan and Shen Shaobai were hiding, and the people sent to chase them couldn't find their whereabouts at all.
Now there were no servants to chase after him, and the injuries on Shen Ling's body made it impossible for him to hold on even if he took magic medicine.
Lord Shen discussed with Shen Ling what to do next.
"Ling'er, now only the magic medicine in your hand is worth some money. Sell the magic medicine and buy a yard to live in."
Lord Shen went straight to the point and asked Shen Ling to take out the magic medicine. Shen Ling was a little reluctant, but there was no other way at this time. He could only take out the magic medicine he had been carrying in his arms, poured out twenty pills and put them in the bottle.
"Dad, these are twenty magical pills. They can be sold for at least two thousand taels of silver. Please have someone sell them."
Lord Shen took the bottle and said with some dissatisfaction: "What can you do with just two thousand taels?"
He also thought that he might not be able to sell the miracle medicine himself, so he would have to go find the doctor who sold the miracle medicine to their family in the first place. He didn't ask for more, just the original price.
When Lord Shen came back, his face looked very ugly.
He threw the medicine bottle in front of Shen Ling: "Ling'er, you've been fooled!"
Shen Ling was shocked: "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
Lord Shen said angrily, "This is not a miracle drug at all. It's just a pill made with banned drugs. It can temporarily paralyze the body and make people forget the pain! The doctor who sold the miracle drug has already run away with the money you gave him! I asked someone about it, and he never showed up again after he went to the Marquis' Mansion!"
Shen Ling still didn't want to believe that he had been cheated.
"Dad, no, this is the magic medicine made by the miracle doctor Yan Qingshan. People outside of the city certainly don't know how miraculous it is. Ling'er has tried it herself. If it weren't for these miracle medicines, Ling'er would not have survived these days. As for the doctor, he probably just happened to leave Beijing for something."
Shen Ling's words almost made Lord Shen vomit blood in anger: "Well, even if you firmly believe that this is a miracle drug, what should we do now? Look at us now. We don't even have a place to stay, and you can't sell this miracle drug. You should think of a way."
Shen Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Now I have to go to the Gu family, and Daddy has to go to the Li family."
