Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Chapter 36 Trial (2)

Shen Yun looked at Mo Ling who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at the people around him, sighed, and then spoke.

"Before, there was a rumor that my daughter was being raised on the farm because of poor health. This is actually false, and it was me who spread it!"

When Lord Shen said this, everyone was puzzled at first, and then they began to whisper to each other. Lord Chang slammed the gavel impatiently.

"Be quiet, Master Shen, please continue!"

Shen Yun nodded, as if lost in his memories, and continued slowly.

"On the day my little girl was born, the peach blossoms in my wife's yard were in bloom. Along with the sound of a baby crying, the midwife put a delicate and soft little girl in my arms. Although it was not my first time being a father, she was indeed the first child I held in my arms right after she was born. My previous children were not at home for some reason when they were born. My mother-in-law liked the little baby very much. This child was very lovable and beautiful when she was born. My mother-in-law said that the peach blossoms were in bloom today, so I gave her the nickname Peach Blossom. I like it very much."

When he said this, Shen Yun's face was filled with happiness and joy. To outsiders, he looked like a loving father. However, in a moment, Shen Yun lowered his head and became sad again.

"The birth of a child was a good thing, and we were all immersed in joy. Unexpectedly, my mother fell seriously ill. My mother is a Buddhist. Before Taohua was born, she went to the temple to burn incense, and heard rumors that she and the child were incompatible. It was said that the child should be sent away and brought back when the child reached the age of 15. My mother was kind to her children and grandchildren, and she passed away very unhappily that day, and never mentioned the matter afterwards.

On the day Taohua was born, she fell into a coma and could not wake up. The old mother who was serving her mentioned the incompatibility to me. "

Shen Yun's eyes were full of confusion, as if what happened that year had appeared before him again, and he was faced with another choice. He choked and frowned, and it took him a long time to speak again.

"I don't know what to do. If you send her nearby, my wife and I can still try our best to take care of her, but you ask that she must be sent as far as possible, which is good for both of us. I don't know what to do. Taohua was just born and she is still so young, but her mother..."

"In the end, the child was sent away!"

Lord Chang didn't seem to like Shen Yun's expression. He hesitated and continued speaking directly.

"Yes!"

Shen Yun nodded, sniffed, and continued his story.

"My mother-in-law mentioned that she and my father-in-law had a villa called Xianyun Villa, which my father-in-law had just purchased. The villa was located on the border of Han Country, which was a suitable distance. In addition, she expressed that she liked Taohua very much. Every year, she and my father-in-law would go to the villa to live for a few months and take care of the child. So, in the end, I let my mother-in-law take the child away.

As for whether it was real or fake, I am a complete failure as a father. I have never taken care of a child, and Taohua does not have a birthmark that is easy to identify. I never thought that there would be a fake. It was my negligence as a father."

Mr. Chang’s frown seemed to be enough to kill a fly.

"Sir Shen, after you sent the child away, you never went to see him again? You said that the child and his grandmother were incompatible. As the child's parents, it would be inappropriate for you and your wife not to go and see him, right?"

Lord Chang's question just raised the question of the people at the scene. Lord Shen pursed his lips and sighed.

"Master Chang, you don't know that my mother and peach blossoms are incompatible, but the master requires that if the child is to come back after the age of 15, the biological parents are not allowed to send someone to take care of him."

Lord Chang curled his lips. Where did this strange master come from? If he was caught, he would be severely punished. What nonsense!

However, this is someone else's family affair, and he really can't say anything.

“So, when my wife brought people back to talk about this matter that day, I was very confused. I felt very close to that child before, and I didn’t believe she was a liar.

But the evidence was there, and I couldn't help but believe it. I had seen Manager Mo, and my father-in-law thought highly of him. He was honest and hardworking. He would come to the Shen Mansion every year and bring news about his love affairs. Later, he also brought his son. So, when I saw Manager Mo's son appear, I had to believe it!"

Lord Chang was silent, and he turned his gaze to the second young master Zhao.

"What about you, Mr. Zhao? Tell us something. After all, you were the one who first stood up for Miss Shen Taohua!"

"Aren't we here today to investigate a case? Why are you talking about this?"

The second young master Zhao took a deep breath and said nervously, he usually relied on his father to bully people outside, but that was for those who had no family background. Whenever he met someone like Lord Chang, he still didn't have the courage.

"This is the process. Rumors have been spreading all over the imperial capital recently. Why don't you explain it, Mr. Zhao, so that people know the truth?"

Zhao Cheng recalled the day when he was caught by his father's men just after he came out of the Shen Mansion. He was beaten and there was no way he could escape. His father's eyes were full of disappointment. He wanted to grab his father's clothes and beg him to give him one last chance. It was not that he didn't dare, but he knew that he had caused too much trouble this time.

His father told him before he left today that he should tell everything he knew and not hide anything. He calmed down, swallowed, and then began to tell the story.

"After my eldest brother broke his leg, my father knew that I was hopeless, but he only had two legitimate sons. He used to hope that my elder brother would protect me after he achieved success. Now, he can only try his best to make me better...

I know my father's painstaking efforts, but I am born with a playful personality and that cannot be changed. Half a year ago, my father learned about the sufferings of the people in Liu County, so he told His Majesty the Emperor that he was not feeling well and needed to recuperate at home. In fact, he took me to Liu County in person to investigate the local conditions.

While my father was busy, I went out to play and met Uncle Mo, the son of Manager Mo. He then took me to Xianyun Villa, where I first met the young lady next to me. Of course, I saw her from afar when I passed by the young lady's yard. At that time, Uncle Mo told me that she was the young lady of the Shen family. "

Lord Chang nodded. He didn't know that the Prime Minister had gone to Liu County, but he knew that the Prime Minister was recuperating. After he recovered from his illness, he did submit a memorial about Liu County to the Emperor. At the morning court, the Emperor also ordered the allocation of grain to Liu County.

It turns out that the prime minister went to Liu County in person!

Lord Chang himself actually respects the Prime Minister very much. The Prime Minister was born in a poor family. When he took the imperial examination, he became the third place in the imperial examination because of his good looks. The people of the entire Han Kingdom know Prime Minister Zhao and like him very much. It can be said that he has really done a lot for the people.

Lord Chang thought of Prime Minister Zhao's handsome and promising eldest son, and thought that he would be able to take over his father's job in the future. Unexpectedly, he broke his leg while riding a horse and could never stand up again. The incident did not make a big fuss, but it was later discovered that the eldest son's saddle and horse had been tampered with. However, they could not find out who did it.

As for the second young master, forget about it...
