Chapter 33: Shen Ling was tortured and seriously injured
Gu Nianchu reached out and slapped Xu Yan's fair face twice: "Xu, I've given you face! How dare you blame me! You're a concubine's daughter, who gave you the face to come and jump in front of me?"

Gu Nianchu has not taken the initiative to target Xu Yan these days. She vented all her hatred on Shen Ling. She didn't expect that this woman would dare to jump out and ask for a fight!
Xu Yan was beaten and screamed in pain, but no one could help her. She covered her face and cried.

"Bad woman! You are not allowed to hit my mother!"

A round ball of flesh rushed out, it was Shen Shaobai.

Gu Nianchu looked at the murderer who had poisoned Chang Huan and herself in the previous life, and her eyes were almost bleeding.

Seeing Shen Shaobai rushing over and about to bite Gu Nianchu, Gu Nianchu kicked him directly, causing him to fall on Xu Yan.

"Gu, you have such a vicious mind! You can't even tolerate a five-year-old child!"

"stop!"

Shen Shaobai is the lifeblood of the Marquis' Mansion and is considered extremely precious by the Shen family members. Several people rushed over at the same time.

Gu Nianchu did not continue to torture Shen Shaobai.

"Shen Ling, if you don't want me to destroy the lifeblood of your Shen family, just take care of yourself and don't bark at me."

In this life, Shen Shaobai has not done those vicious things, so she will not touch him for the time being, but that does not mean that she will still love such a vicious child as her own son.

Shen Ling asked Xu Yan to quickly take Shen Shaobai back to their yard, and Xu Yan left with the crying Shen Shaobai.

Old Madam Shen was still chattering and blaming Gu Nianchu.

Gu Nianchu walked slowly towards Old Madam Shen, scaring her so much that she quickly stepped back: "Gu, what are you going to do? If you dare to touch me, I will let everyone in Kyoto know that you are unfilial!"

Gu Nianchu smiled faintly: "Old Madam, don't play tricks on me here. I don't have the shady tricks you guys use to play tricks in the backyard, but I can fight. Old Madam, please don't force me to destroy your mansion."

"There are still two days left. If I don't see all my dowry within these two days, the Marquis' Mansion will be in court."

After saying this, Gu Nianchu walked away with the people around her, not caring at all that they asked her to stop.

It was no use for Madam Shen to pretend to faint at this point.

No one will care.

Shen Ling knelt down in front of Lord Shen and the old lady, "Father, mother, our mansion must not go to court. Even if we go to court, the government will sentence us to return Gu's dowry. Please feel sorry for your son, father and mother."

Old Madam Shen burst into tears: "Ling'er, don't you know that your mother has nothing left? If we really have to spend 650,000 to redeem Gu Shi's dowry, our mansion will really be finished."

Lord Shen was also very angry: "Who told you to do such a thing in the first place!"

But he didn't mention it at all, he had acquiesced to this matter at the beginning.

"My Lord, Mr. Cao is here."

The servants came to report that Lord Shen and Shen Ling were both very troubled when they heard that Mr. Cao was coming.

But they couldn't avoid seeing each other.

The father and son went to the main hall in the front yard to meet Mr. Cao. When Mr. Cao saw them, he explained his purpose: "Lord Shen, Prince, I am here today on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, to invite you to the Dali Temple."

Lord Shen and Shen Ling and his son were horrified: "Mr. Cao, I wonder what His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi wants?"

Mr. Cao did not hide the truth from them: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to explain what happened to those remnants of the Western Zhou Dynasty who ran away yesterday." After those guards ran away yesterday, Mr. Cao did not hold on to them anymore. Shen Ling thought that the matter was over, but now he was asked to go to the Dali Temple. His face turned pale.

Old Lord Shen hurried to explain, but Mr. Cao simply didn't listen: "Lord Shen, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is still waiting for the Crown Prince. Please don't embarrass me. If you have anything to say, please explain to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

Shen Ling didn't dare not go. He looked at Old Marquis Shen for help. Old Marquis Shen had no other choice at this time: "Ling'er, go and explain it to His Highness. Your father will ask His Highness for mercy."

At this time, both father and son thought of a possibility, that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was making things difficult for them because of the General's Mansion.

If they cannot seek help from the General's Mansion, Shen Ling will be in great danger.

Shen Ling followed Mr. Cao to the Dali Temple, and Old Madam Shen came in person. When she heard that Shen Ling was taken to the Dali Temple, she was so scared that she collapsed to the ground.

"My Lord, you must save Ling'er."

Old Marquis Shen was also at a loss at this time. He turned around a few times and said to Old Madam Shen: "Madam, only the General's Mansion can save Ling'er in this matter."

Madam Shen walked towards Haitang Garden tremblingly: "I'll go and ask Gu to go back now!"

"Madam, Gu will not help Ling'er at all now, can't you see it?"

Old Marquis Shen shouted at Old Madam Shen: "Now only if we redeem all of Gu's dowry can we ask the General's Mansion to plead for Ling'er!"

Old Madam Shen had no other ideas at this time, but Shen Ling was her son, and she was willing to agree to anything to save her son.

The two men discussed it and counted their private vaults and Shen Jiao's dowry, and collected a total of 650,000 taels of silver.

"Let Gu promise us to redeem her dowry, and she will go home and let her family rescue Ling'er!"

Old Marquis Shen discussed it with Old Madam Shen and still wanted Gu Nianchu to give them a guarantee, so Old Madam Shen took her people to Haitang Garden.

Gu Nianchu agreed readily: "Okay, as long as the Marquis's Mansion returns all my dowry, I will go back to my parents' home and ask my eldest brother to go to the Prince Qi's Mansion."

So, Lord Shen personally led people to the Rong family to redeem all of Gu Nianchu's dowry. All that was originally taken away by Old Madam Shen and her daughter was also taken back, returning the property intact.

Gu Nianchu asked Nanny Tian and the others to count according to the list.

The Shen family was really worried about Shen Ling. Old Madam Shen begged Gu Nianchu to go back and ask Gu Nianping for help. Gu Nianchu then took his people back to the General's Mansion.

When the people of the Gu family heard that the Marquis' Mansion had redeemed Gu Nianchu's dowry at a high price, they cursed the Shen family.

Madam Gu even suggested that Gu Nianchu should not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but stay at home.

Gu Nianchu declined politely. She still had to avenge herself and her family. If she just left like that, it would be too easy for that family.

Gu Nianping went to the Dali Temple, either to plead for Shen Ling or to inquire for information.

The guards yesterday were very skilled in martial arts and could not be ordinary people. He had to investigate thoroughly.

Gu Nianchu had dinner at the General's Mansion and waited for Gu Nianping to come back.

When Gu Nianping came back, he brought back good news.

Shen Ling was tortured and seriously injured.
