As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Shen Zian was a little distorted after being scolded, and the expression on his face was as if the pause button was pressed, motionless.

He also felt a little inexplicably aggrieved. He thought that the person who understood him best in the Shen family was his sister, who did not have the same mother as him. He thought that she could understand why he risked offending the noble families and dignitaries and still went before the emperor to ask for justice for the people.

Shen Zian felt an indescribable sense of loss at this moment, and his heart was like a surging wave that could not be calmed.

"If I say you're stupid, then you'll stay in your own world and won't come out, right?" Shen Lanyue saw through his emotional changes at a glance, and continued in a cold voice: "If that's the case, then I really made a mistake today."

After saying this, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Shen Zian took a deep breath. He watched Shen Lanyue stand up and was about to leave, and suddenly he felt panicked.

He felt that if he was trapped in his own mood today, he would definitely regret it later, so he quickly opened his mouth and called out, "Eldest sister."

Shen Lanyue stopped and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but when she turned around and looked at Shen Zian, she restrained her smile again.

She looked at him with cold eyes.

Shen Zian hesitated for a while, then knelt down respectfully under her gaze, and looked at Shen Lanyue solemnly and eagerly: "Please give me some advice, elder sister!"

Shen Lanyue stared at him for a while before she sighed, bent down and pulled him up.

"Zi'an, have you ever really never thought about why no official in the entire capital city knew about this?"

Shen Zian frowned: "This matter may have been warned by Noble Ying before it reached other adults."

Shen Lanyue smiled, but her eyes were fixed on him as she spoke slowly: "Noble Ying is in the deep palace. No matter how favored she is, she is just a noble. How can she have the ability to cover up the adults in the capital?"

Shen Zian's face turned even paler, and one of his feet froze in place.

"Then the fifth prince..." Before Shen Lanyue could finish her words, he himself didn't believe it. He slowly lowered his head and lowered his voice.

It is even more impossible to protect the Fifth Prince, as he is not familiar with Concubine Ying at all, and it is even more impossible to protect that young master, as he doesn't know this person.

This was something he investigated personally.

Shen Lanyue changed the cold expression on her face, and her eyes were like the surface of a lake in spring, melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This case concerns three lives. How could the Jingzhao Prefecture not know about it in the capital, and how could the most impartial Lord Chen in the capital not know about it?"

Shen Lanyue walked to his side, raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Master Chen is a capable person in charge of this type of case." She patted his shoulder calmly. "Then who is capable and deliberately prevented Master from knowing about this."

Shen Zian pulled his clothes into place with trembling hands, his entire train of thought came to a complete standstill, as if he had been frozen by a block of ice, and he was chilled to the bone.

"Yes……"

He was speechless. Shen Zian's face turned pale and he clenched his teeth in pain.

Shen Lanyue chuckled and shook her head gently.

"Zi'an, you fell into the trap from the very beginning and you didn't even resist at all."

Shen Lanyue's words were like an electric current that hit his heart. If he was not really stupid, how could he not react? This was an elaborate trap set for him.

That person plotted against three lives, hit his vital point firmly, and saw through his character.

"Hehehe." Shen Zian smiled bitterly.

"How could I have allowed that person to scheme against me like this?"

Shen Lanyue looked at the red in his eyes, walked forward slowly, looked at the sky with only one window, and said calmly: "You just chose the wrong path. It can only be said that you stood out at that time."

She turned her head, her eyes became sharp and decisive as she looked at Shen Zian and said, "I guess you have tested King Sheng, right? He told you that if something like this happens, he will fully support you, right?"

Shen Zian fell silent.

Shen Lanyue did not miss the darkness and sadness in his eyes.

She chuckled sarcastically.

"You sued Prince Wang in the Imperial Study for robbing a famous woman and killing someone, and accused Concubine Ying and the Wang family of shielding their children. But have you ever thought about why the Emperor put you in jail?"

Seeing him remain silent, Shen Lanyue sneered, "Because you said the wrong thing, did the wrong thing, and didn't understand the situation."

"I can't even read the emperor's mind."

Shen Zian was shocked and suddenly looked up at his gentle and kind elder sister.

"I……"

"No matter which prince designed the trap, you fell into it. You spoke wildly in front of the emperor. Since then, the Shen family has lost the emperor's respect."

Every word Shen Lanyue spoke was very light, yet it seemed very heavy.

But it was like a series of muffled thunders hitting Shen Zian's heart. He was panicked and confused, and looked at Shen Lanyue with despair in his eyes.

"Do you know what your final outcome will be?"

Shen Zian shook his head dejectedly.

"You will be taken to court for execution at noon tomorrow. Your father will be executed with you on charges of forming a clique for personal gain." Shen Lanyue looked at his stunned expression and continued, "As for the other female relatives, what do you think will happen to them?"

Shen Zian didn't dare to think about it, he closed his eyes in despair.

"Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. You are no longer suitable for the capital city today, Zi'an."

Although the doubts and puzzles in his heart were resolved, Shen Zian felt as if he was thrown into an endless dark abyss. His throat had been strangled and he could no longer speak.

Shen Zian took a deep breath, looked at Shen Lanyue and said, "I know I'm in a desperate situation now. Sister, I only have one thing to ask of you."

Shen Lanyue smiled but said nothing.

"I can do whatever I want. My father also... He himself did something wrong, but the women in my family, my mother..." He was a little embarrassed to say: "Can you tell her not to go to that kind of place? Everything else is up to her, okay?"

"Heh!" Shen Lanyue raised her eyelids and sneered calmly.

"If there's anyone in the mansion I don't want to let go, your mother must be one of them. But you want me to save her. Do you think it's possible?"

Shen Zian's expression froze, he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"I understand, I understand." After saying that, Shen Zian knelt down again. This time, he kowtowed three times calmly and reluctantly and said, "Thank you, elder sister, for clearing up my doubts today. We will never see each other again after today. I hope that elder sister will have a smooth and safe journey in the future."

Shen Lanyue's eyelids twitched and her eyes dimmed slightly.

"Do you expect you will die?"

The prison environment was not good, but at least he was an adult with a bright future. In addition, his two sisters actually married noblemen, so Shen Zian's cell was still clean and bright.

At least he still had a window to look up and breathe. At this moment, a few rays of sunlight penetrated through the window and scattered on Shen Zian's body, flickering.
