The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 130 Doomed

When the Emperor saw the Crown Prince, his face instantly darkened.

"Shen Yanfeng ordered his servants to deliberately kill his first wife. He is so heartless that he deserves death!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: "Impossible, Lord Shen and Second Lady have a deep bond, he would never do such a thing."

Emperor: "People will change. When they cannot get the love they want, they will naturally turn love into hatred. The prince is still too young to understand the cruelty of human nature."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head with red eyes and said, "I don't believe it. Lord Shen couldn't possibly kill Second Mother."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression suddenly became even uglier: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not feeling well. Someone, take His Royal Highness to rest."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, palace servants rushed in.

"I'm not feeling unwell. I don't want to go down." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said anxiously.

However, with his thin body, he was no match for the crowd. The palace servants rushed forward and carried him away directly.

The ministers then understood that the emperor had to kill Shen Yanfeng, otherwise he would not ignore his most beloved grandson.

After His Royal Highness left, the Emperor said directly: "Shen Yanfeng ordered his servants to brutally murder his first wife. He deserves death and will be executed in five days. Duke Rong was stripped of his title for not teaching his grandson well. Shen Changfeng was demoted to the fifth rank prefect for not teaching his son well. Ten days later, he will leave Beijing and serve as prefect in Suzhou. The other two members of the Shen family will go to Suzhou with Shen Changfeng to take up their posts. From now on, no one in the Shen family for three generations will be allowed to hold a fourth rank or higher official position."

Duke Rong and Shen Changfeng were naturally stunned when they heard this, and then they quickly bent down and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor."

The emperor looked at them coldly, then stood up and said, "Dismiss the court!"

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

When the Empress heard that her family had been demoted, she naturally felt resentful, but the Emperor simply refused to see her now, so even if she begged for mercy, she could not reach out to the Emperor.

After the morning court session, all the ministers tried to avoid the Shen family as much as possible.

The once glorious Duke Rong has now been stripped of his title and demoted to poor Suzhou. This is truly a complete loss of face.

Sure enough, after Mr. Shen returned home, he fell seriously ill.

The Shen family was in a state of despair. Second Master Shen ordered his servants to start packing up. After helping Shen Yanfeng collect the body, they would leave the capital.

As soon as Shen Changfeng returned to his yard, Mrs. Shen hurried to meet him.

"Master, what did the emperor say?"

Shen Changfeng glanced at her with a deathly pale face, then gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.

"Master, what did the emperor say?"

Shen Changfeng stopped and took a deep breath, then stared at her and shouted, "What else can you say? Our son is going to be beheaded, and the Shen family will have to leave the capital and go to the local areas to serve as governors. Even Dad's title has been stripped."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen could not help but fell to the ground. In this case, wouldn’t the Shen family be finished?

And her Feng Er...

"My Feng'er! Feng'er~"

Shen Changfeng walked back into the house with red eyes, and then the sound of porcelain breaking was heard in the house.

Shen Yanfeng was in prison, listening calmly as the jailer read the imperial edict.

He had already prepared himself mentally for the upcoming beheading.

For the Shen family, being demoted to Suzhou was already a great grace to them.

Being away from the capital is not a bad thing. It is lonely at the top. Fame and fortune are double-edged swords. While they bring them glory, they also bring them huge risks.

In comparison, serving as a provincial official in a local area may seem like a downfall, but in fact it means being away from troubles and having a fertile land of one's own, which is a good thing for the Shen family.

Shen Yanfeng lay alone on the straw mat, staring at the roof with empty eyes.

He will go to find Susu soon, and they will be together forever.

All the wounds on Jiang Sujin's body have scabbed over, and she can sit up and move around occasionally, but she still can't walk too much.

"Master, the Duke of Rong was stripped of his title, and his sons were demoted to serve as governors in Suzhou."

Jiang Sujin couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this: "What about Shen Yanfeng?"

Upon hearing this, the little medicine boy couldn't help but frowned, "Who is Shen Yanfeng?"

Jiang Sujin: "That's the first-rank general who protects the country."

Little Medicine Boy: "I heard that he was going to be beheaded because he ordered his servants to deliberately kill his first wife. The emperor was furious and sentenced him to behead directly."

Jiang Sujin: "It's impossible. It's obviously not him. It was clearly Madam Shen who ordered it."

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Jiang Sujin, and then couldn't help but whispered, "Madam, could it be the wife who was murdered?"

Jiang Sujin: "Master, I will tell you the truth. This was definitely not done by Shen Yanfeng. I must go back and tell the world that I am not dead. This way, Shen Yanfeng won't have to be beheaded."

Old man: "If God wants him to die, you can't stop him even if you risk your life."

Jiang Sujin couldn't help but tear up when she heard this: "But, I know I'm the one being wronged, and I'm the person involved, but I'm still indifferent. Isn't that a sin?"

Jiang Sujin: "What's more, the master knows it now. If you don't help me, you will be committing a sin."

The old man glanced at her, then curled his lips and said, "You can't ride in a carriage now. A long bumpy ride will not be good for your wound."

Jiang Sujin: "I can take responsibility for my own body, but if I don't show up and Shen Yanfeng is wrongly killed, then even if I survive, I will be deeply sinful."

"Master, please help me!" Jiang Sujin knelt down in front of the old man.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but grit his teeth in embarrassment.

Little Medicine Boy: "Master, please help her!"

Old man: "What do you know? If I help her, I might end up hurting her."

Jiang Sujin: "Master, rest assured. If the wheels of the carriage are tied with thick enough sheepskin, it will have a shock-absorbing effect. Master, please find some sheepskin to tie on the wheels. This will also reduce the pain of the bumps."

The old man glanced at her sideways, then sighed and said, "Who the hell did I offend to run into an old lady like you?" Then he turned around and left.

The little medicine boy quickly helped Jiang Sujin up and said, "Madam, don't worry. My master will definitely be able to send you back."

Jiang Sujin: "Thank you!"

Little medicine boy: "You're welcome. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is what we should do. When you go back, you can just pay the consultation fee."

Jiang Sujin: "Don't worry about this. Master, you saved my life, and I will definitely give you the most generous reward."

Upon hearing this, the little medicine boy could not help but nod his head and said, "Okay, okay!"

The next day, the old man really tied several layers of sheepskin on the wheels of the carriage.

Jiang Sujin lay in the carriage and felt the bumps were much less severe.

Although the occasional small bumps still made her feel a little painful, she could endure it for Shen Yanfeng.

She didn't know why she had to save him, but she couldn't accept that she had killed him.

Now there were only two days left before the beheading, and the old man refused to leave quickly, so by the time she arrived, it would take at least a day and a half.

Shen Yanfeng was in the cell and declined visits from all Shen family members.

He didn't want to see everyone crying. He was leaving anyway, and even if he left, he wanted to leave in peace.

The Shen family has already started packing their things. In order to avoid being held accountable by the emperor, they decided to bury Shen Yanfeng directly after he was beheaded and then leave Beijing.

The old couple of the Shen family fell seriously ill, and Father Shen also grew a lot of white hair overnight.

Mrs. Shen was the most sober one. She asked the court doctor to prepare medicine for her, fearing that she would not be able to hold on and die.

The two aunts in the Shen family often gave her the cold shoulder, but she was strong-willed and didn't take these things to heart at all.

Unfortunately, when she was leaving the house to pawn her jewelry, a carriage suddenly came towards her and ran over her legs.

This car accident caused all the nerves in her legs to be damaged, and it will be difficult for her to stand up again.

After a whole day's journey, Jiang Sujin finally arrived at the downtown area of ​​the capital.

In another hour, she will be able to return to the Shen family.

She hoped that her father would quickly tell the emperor that she was fine, so that the emperor would pardon Shen Yanfeng's death sentence.
