Shen Yu obviously did it on purpose. Several days had passed since the incident in the palace, but judging from the news coming out of the Shen Mansion, it was obvious that someone was deliberately covering up the matter.

The servants in the mansion knew nothing about Luo Yunmei being thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor, not to mention the evil spirit incident in the Shen Mansion, his mother's divorce, and the four million taels of dowry that was ordered to be returned... Want to cover up the shame? Haha, you are so beautiful! I, Shen Yu, will be a little face-slapping fighter today! !

It was strange that the wife of the Minister of Revenue was imprisoned. Such an explosive thing was not heard in Luocheng at all? This was not normal... Looking at Shen Nian who was still trying hard to act like a loving father, she suddenly had a bad premonition...

Sure enough, the next moment he said, "Yu'er... There is actually another story behind the Luo family's affairs. Believe me, your father will give you and your wife a satisfactory explanation!" Shen Nian's eyes were firm and deep, like a loving father, feeling guilty and protecting his daughter.

Shen Yu was really disgusted by him. He had just killed his wife with a hammer in front of the emperor not long ago. Who was he doing this for? But wasn't Madam Shen Ji thrown into prison by the emperor? Why was he still calling her Madam?

So she said with an embarrassed look, "Father, I know you are trying to protect Shen Ji... Luo Shi, but there is an evil spirit causing chaos in the Shen Mansion, and you can't hide it even if you want to... The emperor has already thrown her into the Heavenly Prison and invited a monk to suppress it... Maybe it was not her intention to transfer the dowry, maybe she was influenced by the evil spirit, so I won't pursue anything else. Since the emperor specially granted mother Su Shi a divorce with you and posthumously conferred her the title of Super-class Prince's Consort, I just want to get back the four million taels of dowry and forget about it."

Shen Nian's face was full of confusion. He asked doubtfully: "Evil spirit? Divorce? Yu'er, what are you talking about? Where did you hear this news?" There was a hint of confusion and surprise in his eyes.

Shen Nian paused, and continued, "The emperor has learned the truth about the murder of the Su family. It turned out that it was the Luo family who secretly killed Su Taifu's family! The emperor blamed himself after learning about it. In order to make up for it, he specially issued an order to posthumously confer the title of Super-class Prince's Consort on your mother. This is the first honor in Linyue State, and it is not in vain that your father's family has devoted themselves to the court."

A trace of nostalgia and sadness appeared on his face. "And... thanks to your mother, your father was promoted to a super-grade prince. Although he has no fiefdom and cannot command troops, it is just an empty title. But this is enough to show that your majesty values ​​and loves the Su family. You will be the prince's legitimate daughter in the future. This is also your majesty's protection for the orphan of the Taifu..." Shen Nian's tone was full of emotion and relief.

"As for Luo... your father never thought that she could be so vicious. She killed her own relatives because she was jealous of your mother!! She actually tampered with the people I sent to escort your father-in-law back to the clan... It was my laxity in governing the country, it was my negligence!! His Majesty has ordered my demotion to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and a three-year salary penalty. This is the retribution I deserve!! I am sorry to your mother and father-in-law!" After saying this, his face was filled with grief and guilt. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that his biological father was dead!

What Shen Yu felt at the moment was...did she travel through time again? Was everything that happened in Minghe Hall that day just her imagination?

Shen Nian still stood there, her face full of guilt and pain, as if she was still waiting for Shen Yu's response. After she regained her composure, she also figured it out. It should be that he and the dog emperor had reached some kind of agreement in secret...

I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in my heart. I had never seen such a shameless person. For his own benefit, he could shamelessly betray and exploit others time and time again!

The tragic end of the Su family was annihilated, but they pushed all the blame on Luo Yunmei? How could a woman in the backyard have such power? They didn't care! Who did she contact? Who carried out the execution? They didn't ask! It was as if Luo Yunmei was the culprit of all this!

What was even more disgusting was that Shen Nian had even picked up the title of a super-class prince for nothing! Even if he was demoted to the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so what? Compared to the status of a prince, this was nothing.

Shen Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Anyway, even the so-called imperial decree granting the divorce in public could be withdrawn at will. What else could they not dare to do? But on that day, there were only two outsiders present, her and Lu Yingxing. If the emperor wanted to go back on his word, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes?

She thought the divorce and the four million taels were a done deal, but she never expected that after coming back, her three perspectives would be shattered by them! !

"Yu'er... you are now the daughter of a prince, and you are also representing the marriage between Luocheng and Zhuocheng. Don't worry! His Majesty will grant you a group of guards and palace maids to accompany you back to the north. The tragedy of the Su Mansion will never happen again! Can you... can you forgive your father?"

Shen Nian looked eager to repair the relationship, "In fact, over the years, your father has also noticed some clues about the Luo family, so I sent you to Lingzhu Temple to protect you..."

Yu'er, "……………………" I won't even lean on the wall, I just surrender to you!

She listened to her father's nonsense in person, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. It turned out that her previous evaluation of Shen Nian was correct. The entire population of Linyue Country put together was not as thick-skinned as Shen Nian alone!!!

No wonder the emperor gave Shen Nian the treatment of a prince. It turned out that he was waiting for me here...

Is this a plan to openly place people around her? In the name of the escort team and the dowry team, they can legitimately send spies to Zhuocheng, but she can't refuse. As the daughter of the prince of the two cities, they are giving her face!!! And they also said that she fled to Lingzhu Temple that year, and said that they secretly sent her there to protect her? In the end, it became Shen Nian's credit? Ha! She was so angry that she laughed!

Gao, he is indeed a master!!! I said that the power struggles cannot be outdone by these ancient people!!

Just as Shen Yu's heart was shrouded in an indescribable depression, as if it was covered with dark clouds, a heavier blow came quietly, and Shen Nian's voice sounded again:

"Yu'er, regarding the dowry, after my thorough investigation, I found that it was indeed the Luo family who sold it privately without authorization. However, due to the long time, most of the precious dowry is difficult to recover. Now, the part that can be recovered is only two million taels... But the emperor is kind-hearted and will never let you suffer any injustice. The emperor will use his private treasury to make up the rest of your dowry and ensure that you marry in style. At that time, the dowry will be escorted all the way to Zhuo City in the north by the wedding team to ensure that you will not be looked down upon in the future."

Yu’er: “…………………………” Kill me!!! The Su family’s affairs back then were probably led by the emperor, so it’s not hard to guess where those treasures went. Now you say you’re going to use something that was originally mine to replenish me?? ! !
