Chapter 67: Escape from the Knife
Shen Yan'an got the news and hurried over, seeing his uncle and cousin, he was a little dazed for a while, and he was stunned for a while before reacting.
"Uncle!" Shen Yan'an stepped forward and saluted.
Xiao Lu looked at Shen Yan'an, he was very happy in his heart, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, my good nephew!"
"I finally have an uncle and a cousin!" Shen Yan'an's joy was overflowing, and even Shen Yanshu was a little sad when he saw it.
Shen Kangzhi looked at Shen Yan'an's excited face, and felt like being stabbed by a thin needle, stinging slightly, over the years, he owed too much to these two sisters and brothers.
"Sister. Shen Yan'an wanted to pull Shen Yanshu's arm forward, but just as he wanted to say something, he heard Shen Yanshu's muffled voice and gasped.
"Shhh
Shen Yan'an hurriedly let go of his hand: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to, I forgot that you still have injuries on your body for a while." ”
Shen Yanshu shook his head: "It's out of the way." ”
Xiao Lu saw the terrifying blood stains on Shen Yanshu's back, because it was white clothes, it was particularly obvious, Shen Yanshu was locked up in the ancestral hall for the past two days, and there was no change of clothes, and those blood stains had already congealed into blood marks.
He was surprised: "Yan Shu, how did you get this injury?"
Shen Yuyan, who was kneeling on the side and had long been impatient, snorted coldly: "She is such a vicious person, if she wants to poison my mother, she will naturally be punished!"
Originally, she could have been kicked out of the Shen family today, but she didn't expect Steward Cao to be so useless, the monk she found was seen through by them, this plan failed, she panicked in her heart, and naturally she couldn't see Shen Yanshu half a point good!
"I said that I wouldn't admit what I hadn't done. Shen Yanshu glanced at Shen Yuyan, his eyes full of disdain.
"There are all human and material evidence, what are you still arguing about!"
"Okay!" Shen Jun interrupted them and said, "This matter has passed, Sister Shu has learned a lesson, so don't mention it again, and the grounding of the ancestral hall will be avoided." ”
"But ......," Shen Yuyan thought about what to continue to say.
"Sister Shu'er moved back to Bangyin Garden. Shen Kangzhi said.
Shen Yanshu said: "Thank you father for your kindness, but I'm used to living in Dark Incense, and I don't want to move around anymore, saving trouble." ”
Shen Yuyan glared at Shen Yanshu, her hands clenched into fists, and she couldn't wait to step forward and tear her face!
"Yan Shu, Yan An, you should go back to Jiangnan with me, the province will suffer here. Xiao Lu said.
Shen Kangzhi said with a calm face: "Their surname is Shen, not Xiao." ”
Xiao Lu snorted coldly and said: "When Chu Yinyin was pregnant, she wrote to tell us, saying that someone in your Shen family wanted to harm her and the child! Not only did you pay attention to it, no one ever paid attention to her feelings, poor my sister died at a young age, and her last letter said that if the child was a girl, let us take it back to Jiangnan to raise, but you secretly hid the children and didn't let us know!"
Hearing Xiao Lu's words, Shen Yanshu and Shen Yan'an were stunned, they didn't expect that there would be such an inside story.
"If Yan Shu is doing well, it would be fine, but what I saw today is really chilling! First he was slandered and the monster leaned over, and then he was seriously injured, if Yin Yin saw his child like this, how much pain would it be!" Xiao Lu said, "Yan An is a man, he will naturally have his career in the future, if he doesn't want to, I naturally won't force it, but taking Yan Shu away is Yin Yin's last wish!"
Xiao Lu complained in tears, this old thing that has been hidden in his heart for so many years, but it can still easily touch his heart, when he thinks of his delicate sister, before he dies, he still wants to entrust the child to himself, how can he not feel guilty?
Shen Kangzhi's eyelids twitched slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but it only flashed: "Brother Xiao, Yinyin's death, I once said that it was an accident, but it was because she was overly worried that she had such an illusion that someone wanted to harm her, and the doctors also said so." Now that people are gone, it is useless to talk more, as for Sister Shu, it depends on what she means. ”
Everyone's eyes focused on Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu stepped forward and knelt in front of Shen Jun and Shen Kangzhi without the slightest hesitation: "I want to go to Jiangnan." ”
In just five words, he said it very clearly, but the fluttering words pressed on Shen Kangzhi's heart like a thousand catties of stones, maybe he should have thought that she was not happy in this home.
Shen Jun was also extremely surprised: "Sister Shu, don't you think about it anymore?"
Shen Yanshu said: "Grandfather, it's not that Shu'er doesn't want to stay in the Shen family anymore, it's just that I want to go to Jiangnan to visit my grandmother and do some filial piety for my mother." My father went to Qingzhou for three years, and my grandfather was very worried, but my grandmother had not seen my mother for more than ten years, and she must have missed her very much. ”
The revenge has not been avenged, and she will come back after all.
When Shen Yan'an heard her sister say this, she also stepped forward and knelt down: "I want to go with my sister." ”
Shen Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's also right to go and visit." ”
Xiao Lu heard Shen Yanshu say this, and he knew that it was not good to force anything, but if he found out that these two children were wronged, he would definitely not let go of the Shen family so easily.
Although the Xiao family is only a merchant family, they are not easy to bully.
"Which inn did you stay in yesterday? I'll send someone to fetch your luggage, and stay here in the Shen Mansion for a few days." Shen Jun asked.
Xiao Lu said: "Before coming to Chang'an, we asked a friend to help buy a house in Chang'an City. ”
"Why bother......
Xiao Lu didn't care: "It's not troublesome, anyway, a house is not worth a few dollars." ”
Shen Jun, who was about to speak, choked.
The Shen family has always been incorruptible, so it is naturally different from the wealthy Xiao family.
Xiao Lu was uncomfortable in the Shen family, and left with Xiao Nansheng after a few words, and even refused to keep their meal, but told Shen Yanshu that he would go to Min'an Temple with her tomorrow.
The arrival of the Xiao family caught Meng off guard, she didn't expect that the game she set up would let Shen Yanshu get out so easily, and even Cao Detian was taken down by the old lady.
But fortunately, Cao Detian didn't confess her, otherwise, with Xiao Lu's temperament, she would have to let the people of the Shen family give an explanation on the spot, and her hard-working plan to turn over might fall short.
But I have to say that this Shen Yanshu's luck is really good, not only the people of the Xiao family are here today, but even Master Lingyuan, who is rarely seen on weekdays, actually came to the door in person, which is really staggering.
When the old housekeeper Cao learned that his son had done such a thing to frame his master, he was so angry that he almost fainted, asked for punishment, and made a request to take Cao Detian back to his hometown.
Although Shen Jun was angry, Old Butler Cao had done so much for the Shen family, so he also agreed to let them leave the Shen family after the matter was clarified.
When night fell, Cao Detian, who was locked up in a small black room, did not have the slightest worry, he was the only son of the old housekeeper of the Shen family, his father saved Shen Jun's life back then, and he had been a cow and a horse for the Shen family for so many years, and the Shen family was only taken care of, and it was impossible for Shen Jun to kill him.
At most, he will be expelled from the house by thinking about the past.
But even if he is expelled from the mansion, he has to pry out a sum of pension money from Meng's mouth, after all, he knows a lot of her secrets.
Thinking like this, he was about to close his eyes and sleep, but a black figure flashed outside the window.
Originally, he thought he was thinking too much, but after hearing the sound of two people falling to the ground outside the door, he immediately became vigilant.
"Squeak-" With a slight sound of the door opening, Cao Detian, who was pretending to be asleep, saw a man in a night suit quietly walking in from the door.
Although he was scared, he wanted to continue pretending to be asleep to see what the man in black wanted to do, but he saw the man in black pull out an extremely sharp dagger from his waist and walk towards him.
The light of the knife flashing in the dark night made Cao Detian's heart suddenly rise to his throat, where could he still deceive himself, this man in black was clearly here to kill him!
The man in black walked slowly towards him, then stopped in front of him, and stabbed him in the direction of the heart with a dagger!
Cao De God, how could he let himself die here like this! He was still pretending to be asleep and immediately rolled in the other direction, only to hear the dagger slammed into the bed board, if he hadn't rolled faster, I was afraid that he would really die in Huangquan!
The man in black pulled out the dagger vigorously, and turned to look at Cao Detian again.
"Why are you killing me!" Cao Detian was terrified in his heart, staring closely at the dagger in the hand of the man in black, and said, "Even if you hate me again, but I will soon leave the Shen family and leave Chang'an, so why bother to kill me!"
"Huh. I only heard the man in black snort coldly and said, "People who are about to die, you don't need to know so much, anyway, only the mouth of the dead is the safest." ”
After saying this, the man in black waved the dagger in his hand again and stabbed towards Cao Detian!
"Help!
Cao Detian shouted loudly while avoiding the fierce pursuit of the man in black! Every knife almost killed him, and he simply didn't want him to continue to live!
The guards who heard the movement were rushing towards the room, and the dense footsteps outside made the man in black pause.
The man in black no longer entangled with him, but threw the dagger in his hand towards Cao Detian's left arm, stabbing into his arm in the middle!
"Ahh
And as the guards got closer and closer, the man in black glared at Cao Detian, turned around and walked out of the door, disappearing from Cao Detian's field of vision.
"What's going on?" asked a guard who stepped forward to look at the injured Cao Detian.
Cao Detian finally saw the rescuer, and cried: "Go and report to the old lady, let him make the decision for me, the second lady sent someone to kill me!"
