Zhou Chong said hurriedly: "The young master is not very strong, and he just wants to scare the eldest lady. It is not a real stab, so it is not a serious problem. He has already seen the doctor and used the best gold wound medicine."
Shen Can then breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened a little, but he still refused to say forgiveness. He just felt like he was holding back a lot of anger, and he couldn't find an outlet to vent it.
Mrs. Liu told him before that something strange happened in the house. First, the second young lady, Aunt Zhao, was frightened, then the old lady was frightened for several days, and then Aunt He and her daughter.
At that time, he was bothered by court matters, and Mrs. Liu put pressure on him. Later, the old lady even used unfilial piety to pressure him. How could he persist?
Although I suspected that they were targeting Mingzhu, I couldn't refuse them directly. I secretly hoped that it wouldn't be like that.
After all, in his mind, the old lady is still a wise and upright old man who disdains those intrigues.
She is already the head of the family, and everything is done for the prosperity of the Shen family. Naturally, she will not do anything that goes against the development of the family.
The return of Shen Mingzhu and Shen Ming's cousins now seems to be more beneficial than harmful to the family.
The old lady would not target them.
Mrs. Liu has always been tolerant and generous, and has a kindhearted heart. She also cares about the two brothers and sisters. She had tried to persuade him to let them come back many times before, but he had gotten angry and told her not to mention it again.
Therefore, he did not doubt that Mrs. Liu would devise any tricks against Mingzhu.
It seemed that there was something really unclean in the house, which was why a calm person like the old lady became a little panicked and frightened.
It is reasonable to ask eminent monks to come to your home to perform rituals. After all, big families, noble families, and official families often invite monks and Taoist priests to their homes to perform rituals when there is something going on at home.
But why did a dispute arise that would make Shen Ming'an think that Mingzhu wanted to take away her mother's right to be the head of the family?
Moreover, who made him stab someone with a knife at a young age!
He always prided himself on having an upright family, but he never expected this.
If Mingzhu blames Ming'an, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to uncover. After all, Mingtang is already a sage and can contact Liubu Hall officials. Moreover, because he is extremely intelligent and good at reading, he is highly appreciated by the emperor. The emperor also I often invite him to study.
As long as word spreads that the stepmother's son stabbed the late wife's legitimate daughter with a knife, the reputation of Shen Ming'an and Mrs. Liu will be completely ruined.
People would say that Mrs. Liu was not strict in raising her children and allowed her son to commit murder. She deliberately pretended that the child was ignorant so that she could kill Shen Mingzhu.
Mrs. Liu must have been well-intentioned, otherwise such a treasonous thing would not have happened.
From this we can see how Shen Mingzhu lived in the Shen Mansion.
Not only that, before the contact was made again, Shen Mingzhu's brother and sister were in their hometown, but Mrs. Liu's children were in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital. Even if the Shen Mansion had a clear conscience, some unpleasant things would be said about them.
In this case, the reputation of the entire Shen family will be damaged, and this is something Shen Can will never tolerate. The honor of the family is better than anything else!
Although the reason may be that Shen Mingzhu wants to seize power, she is the victim and the weak one. The world always pities the weak and attacks the strong.
Shen Can felt restless and dripping with cold sweat. She always felt that things were not that simple.
How could Ming An, who has always been honest and lovely, kill someone with a knife?
