Shen Junzhuo looked at Shu Yao, the coldness on his body was brought in from the outside, mixed with the smell of moisture and earth, but there was a warm smile on his face, and he said:

"Shu Yao, I'll pick you up and go home."

Shu Yao didn't expect him to come at this time, she was a little surprised, she looked outside, although the rain was lighter, it was still tight, but his words made her feel warm, just like a husband and wife for many years, the wife returned to Ning, and the husband came to pick her up.

She put her other hand on his, and said with a smile:

"Good!"

As she spoke, she turned around and took a piece of clothing to put on her body, and followed him outside. Someone outside immediately handed over a huge umbrella, Shen Junzhuo took it in his hand, and the two walked side by side in the rain.

The palace is much better than the outside of the palace, there is only a thin layer of stagnant water on the ground, her shoes have thick soles, and they are not so wet that the shoes are wet, but the skirt is a little troublesome, and the corners of the skirt are wet when it is dragged down, and she has to carefully carry the skirt.

The night was thick, only a glass lamp in his hand glowed with colorful light, and the people who followed him were far away. She took his arm and walked cautiously, quite a bit like the two of them were dependent on each other, but his arms were so hard and warm, as long as he was around, she would feel at ease.

There was a gust of wind blowing, and the rain fell on her face from the outside of the umbrella, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that the breath in the palace was also free.

"Shu Jiao," Shen Junzhuo said suddenly:

"I asked someone to propose to Master Li."

Shu Yao's footsteps paused, this surprise was not trivial. She knew that he would do this, but she didn't expect him to choose this time, her father's matter was unresolved, and there was a risk of being convicted at any time.

He handed the lantern to the hand holding the umbrella, and took her hand with one hand, and said:

"Master Li's affairs can't be decided in a while, with me going around in Beijing, and then let them do something from Yongzhou, even if Prime Minister Liu and those people are obstructing it, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for the official to be reinstated, but at least the Li family will not be implicated.

On the side of the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Jiang was admitted to the cell of Dali Temple because of her witchcraft, and the grandfather of the country committed murder against his wife, and he will take the title, and he will remember the merits of the ancestors of the Shen family, and it is estimated that he will leave the identity of an uncle. ”

The glass light didn't illuminate his face, but Shu Yao could feel the coldness on his face when he said this.

Madame Chiang practiced witchcraft? How is this the reason? Yes, he still cares about his sister-in-law's case involving his sister's nurse and nursing brother, if this matter spreads, it is inevitable that someone will talk about the Li family behind his back.

He took her hand and walked on step by step, and continued:

"There are many things that I don't want you to know, but you will be my wife in the future, and it will be easier for you to deal with yourself when you know it, so that no one will say mean things in front of you in the future, and you don't know what to do."

She listened to him tell Mrs. Jiang one by one, one shocked her more than one another, one made her unbelievable, after being surprised, it was distress for Shen Junzhuo, it turned out that he was really forced to go away to the Northern Huns, so young age to face the cruel battlefield alone, those swords have no eyes, thanks to his martial arts, he broke into such a feat, no wonder he has such a cold momentum.

At the end, Shen Junzhuo suddenly paused, pulled her to stop in place, and was quiet for a while before saying:

"Shu Yao, I want to divide the sect. Tomorrow, I will invite the clan elders to testify, so that you and I will no longer be talked about and talked about......"

Shu Jiao was shocked in place, how difficult it was to divide the sect, and how big the impact was, she knew without her doing it. Aside from what Madame Jiang did that chilled him, I'm afraid that most of the reason for dividing the sect was for her.

For a while, she didn't know what to say, she was moved by all the things he did for her, and she was glad that she had met such a responsible and courageous person, but she was worried about his situation......

……

……

After a heavy rain, the sky was clear the next day, and when the fiery red sun rose, the ground was dried except for the water that had accumulated in the low-lying areas.

The people who had escaped the rain all night walked out, and it was a fresh day, steaming steamed buns, fragrant fried fruit and tofu, and the people of Jingshi were still living the same life as usual.

The difference is that today some people began to whisper rumors that the wife of the Duke of Maoguo, Jiang Shi, was arrested by Dali Siqing.

This is very trivial news, a woman's family, what is the big thing, will be thrown into the prison of Dali Temple? After inquiring again, it increased the people's interest in talking, this Mrs. Jiang turned out to be because she used witchcraft on a small concubine in the house!

The people immediately scolded, Dacheng is the most taboo to use this, for no other reason, this is a vicious and mysterious method, which makes people feel afraid when they think about it. Imagine how terrifying it is for a person to suddenly fall to the ground, unconscious, and without a doctor!

The Shen family ancestral hall was opened early in the morning, and there was a man dressed in black standing inside, whose face could not be seen clearly in the dim light. He stayed in it for a long time, carefully worshiped every ancestor of the Shen family, carefully wiped the tablets with a soft cloth, arranged the tributes one by one, put incense, and after doing all this, he looked at every corner of the ancestral hall.

One after another, people came. When the person with a low rank and a low position looked inside at the door, he didn't dare to enter, but he waited for the patriarch of the clan to arrive before he dared to go inside.

Speaking of which, the patriarch is Shen Junzhuo's uncle, who is about seventy years old, a little fat, and needs someone to help him when he walks, as soon as he enters the ancestral hall, he shouts:

"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here? It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but I heard that you let the people of Dali Temple arrest the Jiang family, and let people publicize the matter? is just a concubine, how can the position of a housewife be important! Where do you do this? What's the matter, our Shen family just sat down and said, how can we make trouble in front of outsiders? ”

Shen Junzhuo's eyes narrowed, he originally thought that he wanted to divide the clan, sorry for these old people in the clan, after all, most of the property that supports the lives of the people in the clan is in his hands, once the sect is divided, the support for them will be much less, but now that they want to talk to him about this, at that moment, his apologies disappeared without a trace, and he originally wanted to leave them some inheritance, but now, there is no need for a cent.

The patriarch just relied on his high seniority and age, thinking that Shen Junzhuo would respect him no matter how much he wanted, he heard the news of the Jiang family first last night, and saw that Shen Junzhuo sent someone to say that he wanted to divide the clan, how could he be willing!

Shen Junzhuo is an absolutely outstanding figure in the Shen family's generation, the Shen family's industry was originally a little withered, but since Shen Junzhuo accompanied Wang to return from the north, all the industries have prospered, and Shen Junzhuo himself has also purchased a lot of property, and the industry in his hands has been several times larger than the public industry in the clan. But according to the clan rules, he will take out 30% of the income every year to supplement the entire clan.

This is not a small amount, he took this money, and after distributing it to the rest of the clan, he used the money that fell into his hands to marry the second and third grandsons, renovated the yard, and added a few delicate maids to himself, and gradually became a little richer in his hands.

Now he wants to divide the sect, and he can't say anything!
