On their wedding night, she burned down the Prince Regent's palace.

He slowly got up from the ground, put on the black gauze hat, and tidied up his appearance. He sat down slumped, found a pen and paper, thought about it, took off the black gauze hat, and carefully placed it in front of the desk.

He looked at Wusha Mao quietly, thinking of the verbal spat between him and his colleagues in the court, and smiled, with a dull expression on his face.

From now on, I will never have the chance to have a verbal quarrel with them, and I will fight to the death for my opinions in the court.

Now that I think about it, I still feel a little nostalgic. After all, he once fought one against ten in the court and silenced them.

life.

This is life.

Shen Hongyu sighed heavily.

God is going to destroy his Shen family.

The Shen family cannot be destroyed in his hands, and he must do his best to save the Shen family.

Even if the glory and wealth are gone, the reputation of the Shen family must be preserved. Only in this way can he be worthy of the ancestors of the Shen family and have the face to meet them.

Shen Hongyu picked up the pen tremblingly, dipped it in ink, and flattened the paper. He hadn't written for a long time, and his fingers were trembling.

As the sun set, the sky outside gradually became darker. Shen Hongyu glanced at the window and whispered: "It's getting dark, it's time to go."

He lowered his head, no longer hesitated, and began to write.

Shen Hongyu read the densely packed words on the paper twice silently. He put a book on the paper, wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up, went to the cabinet on the side, opened the drawer, and took out a rope from inside.

He stopped in one place with the rope numbly, threw the rope onto the beam, and tied a knot.

Moving a stool and standing on it, Shen Hongyu closed his eyes, holding on to the rope and shaking all over. The fear of death made him want to retreat, but... he thought that if he didn't do this, the Shen family would be killed by Shen Yanliu. Killed.

Perseverance appeared on Shen Hongyu's face, and he kicked the stool away with all his strength. He moved his body painfully, holding the rope with both hands. The rope and the person were swaying in the air. After a while, his body swayed twice and then stopped moving.

Mrs. Shen returned home from the banquet and did not see Shen Hongyu. She saw Shen Chengshu in the pavilion in the garden.

After asking the maid at the side, Mrs. Shen frowned when she learned that he had been staying in the pavilion since he came back from the palace.

"Cheng Shu."

Shen Chengshu turned his head and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Shen was concerned: "What's wrong with you? You look lost? Didn't you follow your father to the palace to meet Liu'er today? How is Liu'er doing in the palace? Where is your father?"

Shen Chengshu looked complicated.

That crazy woman Shen Yanliu.

He was about to open his mouth, but then he swallowed the words alive when he thought that there were others around him and they were too crowded to see.

The housekeeper hurried over.

"Madam, Master, Mr. Fu wants to see the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is in the study and has locked the door of the study from the inside. No matter how the old slave screams, the Prime Minister does not say a word. Mr. Fu is still waiting for the Prime Minister in the front hall, as if he is in a hurry. Regarding the matter, I must see the Prime Minister."

Is Fu Jingtong here?
Shen Chengshu was horrified when he thought that Fu Jingtong was His Majesty's right-hand man and had won His Majesty's trust.

Is it possible that His Majesty already knows what Shen Yanliu did?You asked Mr. Fu to come find Dad, just to take him for questioning?

"Master Fu, please don't be anxious. I'll go talk to dad." Shen Chengshu didn't care about anything else. He didn't even have time to say anything to Mrs. Shen and hurriedly ran to the study.

Mrs. Shen was also bumped by him. Seeing his hurried look, she originally wanted to say that he was reckless, but her eyelids suddenly twitched several times.

Mrs. Shen touched the corners of her eyes, feeling an inexplicable panic and uneasiness in her heart. She quickly chased after him, and the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong.

The master will not keep silent for no reason. When the housekeeper went to invite the master, he must have told the master that Mr. Fu was looking for him.When Mr. Fu comes to see him for something, even if the master doesn't want to see Mr. Fu, he will ask the housekeeper to find a reason to refuse. It is impossible not to say a word.

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

When Shen Chengshu arrived at the study, he didn't see the servant frowning and knocked on the door: "Dad, I want to tell you something. Master Fu is here."

"Dad, did you hear that?"

Shen Chengshu knocked on the door heavily, but no sound came from inside. He pursed his lips, feeling a little anxious.

"Dad, are you in the study?"

Still no sound.

Shen Chengshu frowned.

Mrs. Shen also came panting, and the two of them called Shen Hongyu at the door. The people inside were quiet and silent, as if they couldn't hear anything.

Fu Jingtong waited in the front hall for a while but did not see Shen Hongyu. He only waited for the butler to come.

"Is Prime Minister Shen delayed for something? Why haven't you come yet?"

The housekeeper didn't dare to look into his sharp eyes. Thinking of what kind of reason he should give, Fu Jingtong narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

"I came to see Prime Minister Shen on His Majesty's order. Is Prime Minister Shen unwilling to see me, or is he dissatisfied with His Majesty?"

The butler was so frightened that he trembled and said with a stern expression: "No, no, Mr. Fu, the Prime Minister definitely does not want to see Mr. Fu, and he will not hide it from His Majesty. It is true that the Prime Minister is in a hurry now, so please wait a little longer, Mr. Fu. "

Fu Jingtong sneered: "What urgent matters are more important than His Majesty's affairs?"

There was no urgency at all.

Master Fu, can you please stop asking the question?
The housekeeper was so anxious that he almost cried.

Seeing the butler's eyes dodge and looking guilty, Fu Jingtong thought of Feng Wuming's reminder to him.

Shen Chengshu and Shen Hongyu were called away by Wen Yufu. No one was present during the conversation between the three. They didn't know what was said. After leaving, Shen Hongyu and Shen Chengshu reacted inappropriately.

Wen Yufu was obsessed with the throne and most likely ordered the Shen family and his son to arrange some things secretly.

Could it be that Shen Hongyu is no longer in the mansion and has gone to help Wen Yufu?
Fu Jingtong was a little anxious and said sternly: "Is Prime Minister Shen still in the house?"

"You have to think carefully about lying to me. If you delay the matter that His Majesty entrusted to me, I will hold you accountable when the time comes!"

The housekeeper was so shocked that he quickly knelt down in fear.

"Master Fu, I really didn't lie to you. The Prime Minister is in the house, but..." He hesitated.

"Just what? Why don't you tell me quickly!" Fu Jingtong said sternly and unhappy: "If you dare to deceive me again, I will ask you to go to jail."

The housekeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide it anymore and stammered.

"The Prime Minister is in the study. The study was locked by him from the inside. The old slave has already called the Prime Minister, but there is no response from the Prime Minister. The old slave has already called the madam and the eldest son, and the two of them went to call the Prime Minister. My lord."

"Master Fu, please wait a little longer. The Prime Minister will be here soon."

Shen Hongyu locked himself in the study?
Is there a secret passage in the study?
If he goes out from the secret passage to help Wen Yufu... Fu Jingtong said in a deep voice: "Take me to the study immediately."

The housekeeper yelled, and Fu Jingtong said impatiently, "Can't you do that?"

The housekeeper opened his mouth, but did not dare to say another word under his cold eyes, so he could only take him to the study. (End of chapter)
