Su Jian was furious. What kind of place and occasion was this? How could Shen have the nerve to bring up the past? Ever since Mingyue came back, she had really gone backwards.

Shen was heartbroken, and all the resentment that had been buried in her heart burst out at this moment. Since Su Jian could embarrass her in Prince Zhan's Mansion, why should she give him face?

"What are you guys doing?"

At this time, the Shen family, who had heard the quarrel in the hall outside, finally rushed over.

Shen Chong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not come, nor did Zhuang. The ones who came from the Shen family were Shen’s eldest brother Shen Li and his wife Qiao, and his second brother Shen Xin and his wife Song.

Shen Li worked in the Ministry of Personnel as a Langzhong (official director) and was the future leader of the Shen family. Although Shen Xin was from the Shen family, he worked in the Ministry of War as a minor official.

The one who just scolded was Shen Li. The Shen family was invited inexplicably, but when he heard his younger sister and brother-in-law arguing from afar, he felt that this was definitely not a good thing.

"Brother! You have to make the decision for me!" Shen rushed over as soon as she saw her brother. No matter what problems she had, it was always her brother who came forward to help her settle them. So when she saw Shen Li, she immediately felt that someone was backing her up.

"What's wrong with your legs?" Shen Li asked in a deep voice when he saw the blood stains on Shen's skirt and her walking posture.

In fact, he had already seen the porcelain fragments and bloodstains on the ground and had some guesses in his mind, but he still wanted to hear his sister explain the whole story.

Shen cut out the details and told Shen Li that it was King Zhan who asked her to look after Su Jixue, and then humiliated her by making her kneel on the porcelain pieces.

Shen Li's face looked grim.

"Su Jian, are you just going to watch my little sister get punished like this?!" Shen Xin glared at Su Jian. He was an outlier in the Shen family, who gave up literature for martial arts and had a hot temper.

When the King of War returned to the capital this time, the capital was already in a state of impending storm, but no matter what, he should not attack the Su family or the Shen family first.

"My two uncles, actually this is not the fault of King Zhan." Su Jian glanced at Mo Chuyi who had been silent, then looked at Shen Li and Shen Xin helplessly.

"If you don't blame King Zhan, then you blame me?!" Shen gritted her teeth and said, "Do you even know which side you should be on?"

"Sister-in-law, calm down first and let your brother-in-law explain the whole story. This will also allow me to deal with the adults in Prince Zhan's mansion." Mrs. Qiao, the eldest lady of the Shen family, came up quickly to persuade her.

"Yes, little sister, how did it become like this? You must go and treat your wound first." Song, the second wife of the Shen family, said as she wanted to take Shen to treat her injuries first.

"Second Madam Shen, Madam Su can't leave now." Mo Chuyi raised his hand to block their way: "No one can leave until the matter is resolved."

"General Mo, even the King of War probably can't force a lady of high rank to stay in your house." The eldest lady of the Shen family had a smile on her face, but her words were sharp.

"Oh?" The War King's cold and sarcastic voice came, and he looked at the Shen family's eldest lady with disdain: "Are you discussing rank with me?"

The reward for the War King is already superb, and there is no higher reward.

The eldest lady of the Shen family dared to use her rank to confront Mo Chuyi, but she did not dare to talk to the King of War.

"I dare not." Madam Shen bowed.

The War King said nothing, but snorted coldly with an indifferent expression.

Madam Shen's face turned pale and she looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li was the first to kneel on the ground: "Minister Shen Li of the Ministry of Revenue greets the King of War."

Next is Shen Xin.

Madam Shen Da glanced at Madam Shen Er and knelt on the ground as well.

Su Jian's expression changed. He glared at Shen fiercely and knelt on the ground to pay his respects.

Shen was still standing there, but was kicked to her knees again by Mo Chuyi.

A depressing atmosphere spread in the hall.

Shen Li and Shen Xin looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

Yesterday, the news of what happened at the Princess's residence had spread, and they were not present. However, they knew that Prince Zhan had given the Princess a show of force, and all the officials present knelt before Prince Zhan.

Now, they have felt the power of this attack.

I just don't know what happened.

"Lord Su, I thought you and I had reached a tacit understanding yesterday." King Zhan raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Su Jian with a smile.

"Are you kidding me?"

His words were light, but there was a terrifying aura hidden in them.

"I dare not! How dare I tease the prince? This is just a joke that Shen wants to play on the prince. It's just a joke." At this time, Su Jian still wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

But she didn't expect that Shen Shi didn't think so at all at this point. Now Su Jixue has not yet married the War King and she has suffered such a great humiliation. If she really marries the War King, what will happen?

"I'm not kidding. This is the wife who makes the final decision on matters in the harem." Shen said unconvincedly, "Since when has the Prime Minister had to intervene in matters like this? Jixue was already engaged to the Shen family."

boom--

This muffled thunder exploded directly in the hearts of the four people in the Shen family.

Only then did they understand why Prince Zhan's Mansion had made such a show of force.

"Shut up!" Su Jian's face looked extremely ugly. Shen Zhuang still dared to say this. Was he afraid that he would not die fast enough?

"How can the daughter of the prime minister be paired with the illegitimate son of the Shen family!"

There was another thunder.

The four members of the Shen family looked at each other. So, Shen Zhuang was crazy?! He told Prince Zhan that Su Jixue was engaged to the Shen family's illegitimate son?!

Yesterday, the only one who had the War King's favor was Su Jixue.

She is also their niece.

This should have been a good thing, but what on earth was Shen thinking?

"Which family did you choose?" King Zhan looked at the four people from the Shen family casually and asked lightly.

"Anyway, it's not our family!" Mrs. Shen immediately shook her head.

"It's not our family either!" Mrs. Shen also quickly expressed her opinion.

Who is crazy enough to dare to offend the King of War?

Everyone heard yesterday that the King of War was angry for his beloved and stood up for Su Jixue.

"Oh?"

King Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Su Jian, not even bothering to give Shen another glance.

"Shen Zhuang, stop making trouble!" Su Jian's face turned dark.

"Your Highness, there are many people in the Shen family. I don't just have these two brothers." Shen Zhuang was still stubborn. She didn't expect that the two branches of the Shen family had no intention of helping her cover up, and they actually refused directly.

It doesn't matter, since the direct branch of the Shen family is unwilling.

It's not only the legitimate branch that has illegitimate sons.

There are some illegitimate branches though.

But by then, Su Jixue will be even less worthy, and she deserves it!

"Sir Su, marry a virtuous woman." The corners of the Zhan Wang's lips curled coldly, and he glanced at Su Jian with a domineering look in his eyes.

Su Jian couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up and slapped Shen hard again, causing the other side of her face to swell up.

"You hit me again?!" Shen couldn't help but scream. She looked at Shen Li: "Brother! Look at them bullying me! Are you just going to watch them?!"

"Sister, that's not right." Before Shen Li could speak, Madam Shen spoke first: "Your eldest brother has always loved you, but what you did is not righteous!"

"They say a daughter loves her parents' home, so there's no reason to bring disaster upon her parents' home."
