Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 263

The expressions of all four members of the Shen family changed drastically!

Has that Qi soldier returned to normal?

Shen Lingjun had wanted to check on the soldier, but because the court had dealt with Shen Wei, she rushed to the Shen residence and didn't have time to think about it.

Shen Lingjun immediately turned to Shen Wei and said, "Father! You can't leave! Things have taken a turn for the better now!"

Shen Wei hadn't reacted yet, standing there stunned, seemingly unsure of what to do for a moment.

The leading constable, overhearing their conversation, seemed just as excited as they were: "What turning point? Marshal Shen doesn't have to go into exile?"

Shen Lingjun had observed the constable's behavior throughout the journey and knew that he was on Shen Wei's side. She lowered her voice and said simply, "We have found a witness who can prove that my father was wronged, so he doesn't need to be exiled."

The constable immediately pulled out Shen Wei's shackle key from his pocket, pretended to drop it on the ground, and then, without even glancing at it, shouted to the other constables and prisoners, "Let's go! Let's get going!"

Shen Lingjun picked up the key and unlocked Shen Wei's shackles: "Father, let's go back, bring the witnesses, and go to see the Emperor!"

Shen Wei bowed deeply to the departing officer's back: "I will remember your great kindness, Officer, and repay you in the future."

The constable acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking forward.

Shen Lingjun, Shen Wei, and the others quickly returned to the city. When they were almost at the city gate, the constable turned around and saw them, shouting, "The prisoner has escaped!"

He shouted quite loudly, but only pretended to chase after them for a few steps before stopping and instructing the other constables, "I'm going to catch the escaped prisoner; you all go ahead!"

By the time they turned back to chase after them, the Shen family had already entered the city gate and were nowhere to be seen.

Shen Lingjun first returned to the Yongning Marquis's residence to see that little soldier from Western Qi.

This young man was indeed completely different from before. He was no longer acting foolishly and was acting normally, except that he seemed a little nervous and fearful.

Previously, Shen Lingjun and others had often mentioned testifying in front of him. He had probably heard a lot of it during his period of mental instability and remembered it all. Without asking any questions, he went straight to the point and asked, "Do you want me to be a witness?"

Seeing that he was so clear-headed, Shen Lingjun didn't even need to explain to him, and secretly rejoiced.

"Yes, your marshal colluded with General Chu Tianming of Bei Yi and had private dealings. You should still remember all of this, right?"

The soldier from Xiqi nodded, but hesitated and did not respond.

Shen Lingjun knew that he was from Xiqi, while they were from Beiyi. The two sides had always been enemies. Even though they had saved his life, he should still be wary and resistant.

Moreover, he had no reason to testify for them, as it would bring him no benefit or benefit Xiqi.

Seeing that the young man looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, or more accurately, just a teenager, Shen Lingjun softened his tone and asked, "What's your name?"

The soldier from Xiqi whispered, "Zhou Ershan."

Shen Lingjun continued, "Where are you from? Do you have any family members?"

Zhou Ershan said, "I am from Dahe Village, Liusha Town, Lizhou. I have parents, a younger brother, and two younger sisters."
