Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 234: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 31

Don't blame her for assuming the worst of others; this possibility is simply too great.

Of course, this was also the fact that Shen Guli knew in advance that Aunt Xuan was given to her adoptive father by a big shot.

The canal transportation issue that the Shen family hadn't been able to solve with the connections accumulated over generations, was solved with just a few words from an aunt?

Who knows what disease Aunt Xuan had, and what happened during her stay in Qingshui County. The most important thing is that the child was born prematurely.

All these doubts made Shen Guli suspect that Shen Baolin, born to Aunt Xuan, might be her half-brother.

Lin was also confused by what Shen Guli said. She and her husband only found out who Aunt Xuan was later, but they never doubted Shen Baolin's identity.

Lin was not stupid. She was in the mansion before and did not see the whole picture. But now, after being reminded by Shen Guli, who was an outsider, Lin suddenly got an epiphany.

Her hands stopped shaking, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the cup. "This is so shameless! How could they insult us like this?"

Shen Guli held her mother's hand. Any words of comfort seemed pale, but she still had to say: "Mother, things have come to this point. We can only try our best to preserve our strength. I am also managing my own power in Beijing, don't be afraid."

Lin looked at her daughter and wanted to cry but had no tears. "It's useless. He is the Third Prince. How can a small merchant girl like you make friends with such a big shot who can help the Shen family out of trouble?"

As if she had thought of something, Lin remorsefully accused Shen Guli, "I wanted you to marry General Xie, so that at least you wouldn't be implicated for the rest of your life. Why didn't you listen to your mother?"

It turns out that the real reason why Lin wanted Xie Rong to marry Shen Guli as a reward for saving her life was that she wanted to find a protective umbrella for her daughter so that she would not be implicated by the Shen family in the future!

In other words, Lin did not lie. Regardless of whether the Shen family was optimistic about the third prince or not, they were definitely forced to take sides.

"Mother, can you tell me what kind of evidence someone has on Dad?"

Lin's attention was diverted, and she did not think much about Xie Rong's problem. "Our family's business is big, so we have to deal with government officials. Gifts are given during festivals and holidays. Aunt Xuan has been lurking in the mansion for two years and has collected evidence of your father's large gift giving. Among them is a list of gifts for the third prince's birthday that was given to him by Aunt Xuan."

Shen Guli understood.

It is not just in ancient times. In any dynasty, the people do not fight against the officials, and the same is true for merchants.

As long as he wants, he can make a hat that suits you!

There is no need to explain the rules of the business world. Giving gifts to officials under your jurisdiction is an established practice.

If the people don't investigate, the officials won't investigate. But if someone comes up with evidence to expose it, it will be solid evidence of guilt.

Aunt Xuan took advantage of her insider status and got hold of Mr. Shen's external entertainment bills. She also secretly sent a caravan of birthday gifts to the Third Prince. Not only did she deliver the most important evidence to the Third Prince, she also openly tied the Shen family to the Third Prince's camp.

Afterwards, Shen Hongshan found Aunt Xuan and questioned her why she had to deliver the birthday gift to the Third Prince on her own initiative. Only then did Aunt Xuan reveal her true colors.

She was originally the Third Prince's person.

It was the third prince who came to Yonghe to control the flood, and Shen Hongshan caught the third prince's eye by being the first in donations.

Then Aunt Xuan went through several hands and became a thorn in the Third Prince's side in the Shen Mansion.

The Third Prince was attracted by the financial strength of the Shen family, but he was unwilling to have any connection with the Shen family, so he came up with this unpresentable method.

Gradually, Aunt Xuan's status in the Shen family was invisibly improved, because she had the leverage over Mr. Shen.

A large part of the Shen family's annual income was transferred to the Third Prince by Aunt Xuan under various pretexts, and the collusion between the Shen family and the Third Prince became increasingly confusing.

As several princes grew up and were crowned kings, Shen Hongshan also saw the many disadvantages of the third prince. Several princes younger than the third prince were all crowned princes, but the third prince still had no title.

Shen Hongshan anticipated the tragic future of the Shen family.

Aunt Xuan became more and more unconcealed of her ambition in front of Shen Hongshan. He wanted to preserve the bloodline of the Shen family, so he teamed up with Lin to play a trick, and made the best of a mistake by getting at odds with his first wife, and sent his first wife and his legitimate son and daughter to take refuge on the farm.

This is how things turned out!

Shen Guli only paused for a few seconds before accepting this fact. "Does Big Brother know about this?"

Lin shook her head. "This is a serious matter. Your father only told me about this. Your eldest brother is the eldest son and the eldest brother. He must stay in the Shen Mansion. Your father is worried that if your eldest brother knew about it, he would accidentally reveal the truth, and Zhou Yuxuan would have no scruples about taking action."

After a long silence, Gu Li said, "Mother, you should divorce father when you go back this time."

After much thought, my cheap dad's method is the safest.

I just regret that she didn't become independent earlier and cling to the Seventh Prince's lap sooner.

Lin was about to cry again, "I have been married to your father for decades, how can we run away from each other when disaster strikes? I can't leave him alone-----"

"Mother, you are helping father, helping him keep the roots of the Shen family." Shen Guli calmly analyzed with Lin, "While the current situation is still favorable for us, we can help father keep more of the family property and take He Lin away!"

In order to avoid alerting the enemy and being discovered that they were trying to transfer the property, eldest brother Shen Gonglin could not leave. The most they could take away was the somewhat rebellious Shen Helin!

"Is there no room for maneuver?"

"No!" Shen Guli broke Lin's fantasy, "Does mother know who told me where my father stood?"

Without Lin's reply, Shen Guli said directly: "It is the seventh prince Li Xuanzhi."

"Lee Hyun-ji, the son of Yang Guifei! He is a royalist now, and will be a princeling in the future!"

Lin's lower lip trembled but was bitten tightly. None of Yang Guifei's sons had the idea of ​​​​seizing the throne, so why would the third prince who didn't even have a title be so ambitious?

It's like hitting an egg against a stone.

The royalist Seventh Prince knows that the Shen family is affiliated with the Third Prince. Does that mean the Crown Prince and the Emperor also know about it?

They had been hiding very well, how come they were exposed so quickly?

Lin held her daughter's hand tightly and said, "Let's go back immediately. I will divorce your father and I will take Lao Wu with me. I will also take you with me."

She now believed that Aunt Xuan would definitely marry her daughter off to someone else.

"Okay, let's pack up and leave immediately!"

Shen Helin was called back and only had time to change his clothes before being stuffed into the carriage. Just as he was confused, Shen Guli told him that she came back because her marriage was plotted against.

The young Shen Helin immediately got furious.
