Shen Xinyan went to Chen Guogong's Mansion with Lu Chun all the way in silence.

In front of him was the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Lu Chun, who wanted to stop talking along the way, couldn't help it after all, and asked in a low voice: "My apprentice grandson can tell me when he comes back, how did the prince wronged you?" Angry and want to resign? ”

Shen Xinyan raised his head lonely to look at the sky, and let out a long sigh: "Father-in-law Green, I'm not very wronged. Zhu Weng has been with His Royal Highness for more than ten years, and Shao Zhan can be regarded as His Highness's henchman. For the sake of their own people, it is difficult to embarrass others. Everybody does that, and I can understand that.

"It's just a little boring for me. Your Majesty values me so much, and I am at a time when I am dedicated to repaying my service, when suddenly the future prince, Your Majesty's beloved eldest son, pointed to his nose and said that he did not like me......"

The more Shen Xinyan spoke, the more listless he became.

Lu Chun looked at him sympathetically and sighed with him: "Your Majesty will discuss with you now if you have something, this is originally a favor and a good thing." But the prince made such a fuss, and His Majesty was embarrassed in the middle. When the time comes, let others say that you are close to each other, and you can't explain it clearly! ”

Shen Xinyan smiled bitterly when he said it, Dasheng sighed, and without paying attention, he reached out and patted Lu Chun's shoulder: "That's it." It's boring. It's so boring. ”

I couldn't help it, and leaned over in a low voice and said, "Don't hide it, I was really disheartened at that time." I told His Royal Highness bluntly, my family's life is on my shoulders alone, I just want to do it for this son, do I really go to the West Market outside the noon gate? ”

Lu Chun was so frightened by him that he staggered: "My Lord Shen! How dare you say it! ”

On the West Market outside the noon gate, that's the place to cut off your head!

Chop off the head of the family, what is that? That's not a rebellion, you can't be slashed all over the house!

Shen Xinyan really complained, but when he opened his mouth anyway, he chatted with Lu Chun: "Our clever Lord Mu opened his mouth and closed his mouth to tie me up with the Third Highness. I am the teacher of the Third Highness, and His Highness respects me very much, and I am willing to teach such a smart child. Tie together, tie together.

"But you can't tie up a political enemy who doesn't like your eyes with the prince next to you, and at the same time say in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, the eldest brother, that his brothers are all suspicious, right? Isn't this forcing the future prince to make enemies for himself? Is there such an adjugant?

"But that was when I was blind, and I let this person enter Beijing for nothing, and buried this scourge for Your Majesty and Your Highness. Who do you think I can blame? ”

Shen Xinyan became more and more helpless.

Lu Chun laughed when he heard this: "Isn't that what you say?" In the last few months, I have heard His Majesty say to His Royal Highness, let him learn from you to see people a little. I see, His Royal Highness really can't learn this from you! ”

Shen Xinyan choked, but he couldn't help it, and gave him a blank look.

After all, he opened his mouth and spoke, and Lu Chun's heart finally let go of half of it.

entered the Guogong Mansion, and first passed the dictate of Emperor Jianming to the grandfather of the country and Mrs. Yan; Lu Chun went to Shen Xinmei's couch in person, and saw Lu and Shen Xinmei's son and daughter who were crying with red eyes, sighed for a long time, and left.

Shen Xinyan stayed, first looked at Shen Xinmei's injuries solemnly, and then comforted Mrs. Yan and the Lu family with a few words, and the women went to the back house without mentioning it.

As soon as they left, Chen Guogong told Shen Xinyan the truth: "Xinmei's injury is not so much of an obstacle. My family's good military doctor, who has seen it, has been raised in a year and a half. ”

Shen Xinyan let out a sigh of relief and raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat: "You really scared me to death." Brother Xinfang is a straight person, if Brother Xinmei can't even go to the battle array, the Guogong Mansion will be a big piece of good fat fish in an instant! ”

There is no shortage of anything in the capital, especially no shortage of swords!

Chen Guogong nodded slowly and said, "The year before last, I ruined my sister's marriage, and last year I went to Wuxing to pull Xinfang's daughter-in-law into the water, and this year I directly used the killing trick on my son." It seems that my Shen family has indeed offended people without knowing it. ”

Shen Xinyan bowed his head silently.

Shen Xinmei was lying on the couch, in good spirits, glanced at Shen Xinyan, and said with a smile: "What did Xinyan think of?" ”

Shen Xinyan was shocked, oh, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I just think that there have been a lot of things against our Shen family in the past few years." ”

Chen Guogong and Shen Xinmei glanced at each other, and their expressions were condensed.

"The things in my house were just noisy with the children before. But then why did it suddenly become sumo? ”

Shen Xinyan looked puzzled, "Shen Hai is just a concubine in the house, even if she is instigated, how can she be so vicious that she dares to go to my daughter's room at night, and wants to strangle her cousin, who is only two or three years younger than her, with her bare hands?"

"Shen Xi instructed Mother Lu to kill my young son, which seems to be seamless. But Shen Xi was not yet eleven years old at that time. Is there really a child of that age who can watch another child being killed and remain indifferent?

"Lu's mother crashed into the wall and died in front of my daughter, and my daughter was so frightened that she stiffened at that time - my daughter followed me thousands of miles from south to north, and it was not uncommon for her to peek at my court trial, with sticks and sticks, and blood and flesh flying. She can be scared like that, Shen Xi is all right?

"After that, my family was divided. Who made my father go back to Wuxing's old house in one breath to sell the little master's ancestral land? ”

Shen Xinyan paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "There is also the Guogong Mansion on your side." There is also the Qingjiang Marquis Mansion related to our family. and the Ouyang family where I am the matchmaker to marry you.

"The first thing that Sister Hao invited from Wuxing was Mr. Kui, the first thing he did when he came back was to force me to ask: Who have we offended in the Shen family.

"I also want to know now, is there a feud between our Shen family and Wu Xing Zugen? Upstart in Beijing, do you have a grudge? Grandpa Guo, Brother Xinmei, Brother Xinfang, have you ever offended a nobleman? In the ten years when I was not in Beijing, did the people in the house in Chongxianfang have any hidden disasters? ”

Shen Xinyan did not tell Chen Guogong and Shen Xinmei about the very different attitudes and styles of Emperor Jianming and the crown prince just now. He had to know the answer he wanted first, and then decide whether to wade into the troubled waters, whether to wade in the Guogong Mansion together.

Chen Guogong and the eldest son glanced at each other again, twisted their eyebrows suspiciously, and shook their heads hesitantly for a while: "The ancestral house has always done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and I really haven't heard of a feud."

"After the world was settled, not only the Guogong Mansion, but also the Chongxian Fang, we have been secretly vigilant, cautious, and have not offended anyone.

"If it is said that the fight against the Northern Barbarians caused trouble in the army back then, but at that time, the robe Ze should have taken care of it, and those who should have helped have helped......"

Chen Guogong looked at Shen Xinmei inquiringly.

Shen Xinmei thought hard for a long time, and shook her head blankly: "At that time, Su Hou was strict in governing the army, and we didn't even have the opportunity to leave the camp, so it was impossible to get into trouble and offend people!" ”

Why, exactly?

Why was the Shen family in the capital targeted to this extent?
