Rebirth of Poisoned Empress

Chapter 31

"This is a coincidence. Little five's courtyard was destroyed like this and sister-in-law happened to be out of the mansion." Lu Yang continued gloating to make the situation more chaotic;

"You don't have to do it yourself, didn't you?"

"Third sister-in-law, you must speak with evidence. Did you see me destroying Shen Liang's courtyard?" After she said that, Liu Shuhan was confident because she didn't do anything to Shen Liang's courtyard. Unfortunately, she never dreamed that her good daughter did something stupid.

At this time, Shen Qiang no longer in the mood to watch the excitement. Seeing her mother being sieged by her two aunties, she was very anxious and her hatred towards Shen Liang rose up.

"Mother went back to her parents' house because of the bandits?" Just as Lu Yang was speechless, Shen Liang voice sounded. Everyone looked at Shen Liang strangely and didn't know what to do. Speaking of Liu Shuhan's visit to her natal clan, only Liu Shuhan had a clear mind. But she frowned and said;

"Little five, I have already said that the bandits are grandma Wei's own plan and has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Shen Liang's lips twitched slightly;

"I stopped at the Ministry of Justice to day and just saw an interesting announcement. The bandits who chased me were also the one who kidnapped Princess Yuehua's grandson. I heard on that night when I came back, Prince Duan took someone to destroy the bandits' den and arrested a few bandits. Unfortunately, last night all the arrested bandits committed suicide in fear of tortures. Mother, you just went back to your parents' house today. I thought you went back because of this. I just thought about it, it is good if mother has nothing to do with this." It was nothing to kill Shen Liang, but kidnapping Princess Yuehua's grandson was going to destroy their clan.

This is what Shen Liang didn't need to speak, who is a good person here? Almost all figured out his meaning and thought of many things.

"Little five, you can't talk nonsense about this..." Liu Shuhan was so angry and she never dreamed that Shen Liang would tell this matter loudly. If this matter passed around and heard by Princess Yuehua, wether it was real or not, Princess Yuehua would hate her and Liu clan. The little beast used vicious trick.

"Did I say anything? I just want to cheer mother." Raised his eyebrows, his face was pure and innocent but Shen Liang suddenly said seriously;

"But mother, even if you have nothing to do with those bandits. Grandma Wei was your person, someone will definitely ask about this one day. Rather than arguing with me here, mother should think carefully how to deal with people from Ministry of Justice."

"You..." This kind reminder was actually mixed with warning and gloating, Liu Shuhan was furious but Shen Liang didn't give her a chance to reply. After speaking, he bent down and helped Qi brothers stand up.

"Grandma, mother has been busy with her clan and bandit matters. It's better to leave the investigation to two aunties. I believe that second aunt and third aunt will give me justice."

He wanted to help second family and third family.

Liu Shuhan stared hard at him, Zhao Lan and Lu Yang's eyes lit up with excitement. Even the old madam was surprised.

"Well, that's okay..."

"I don't agree!" the old madam had long coveted the position of Madam in Dongling Mansion for a long time, how could she let this chance go? But she was interrupted by Liu Shuhan's yelling.

"You don't agree?" Turning to look at her, the old madam's eyes were dark, don't think she didn't know. The bandits were done by her with the cooperation of Liu clan, kidnapping Princess Yuehua's grandson and saving the grandson with Shen Liang was their plan. Liu Wenjin would make great contribution and Princess Yuehua would be grateful to them. No need to talk about it, with Princess Yuehua's support Liu clan would be able to suppress everyone and Liu Shuhan would gain upper hands in Dongling Mansion. What a good calculation!

Realizing she was agitated, Liu Shuhan gritted her teeth and told herself to calm down;

"Mother, I am the wife of Marquis Dongling and little five is the young master of main house. Now, something happened in his courtyard but let second and third sister-in-law investigate it. If this spreads out, what would outsiders think of our Dongling Mansion?" On the surface, Zhao Lan and Lu Yang were only responsible to investigate Shen Liang's courtyard but they could intervene and plant evidence to her. A second wife couldn't tolerate the original wife and use such naïve means to insult her stepson, can she be in charge of Dongling Mansion?

If the old madam come forward, this position could be switched into someone else. Even if this matter was caused by Shen Ruiting, there would definitely no room to change again.

The little beast had this idea!

Liu Shuhan couldn't wait to tear him apart on the spot but now her biggest enemy wasn't Shen Liang. It was the old madam and her sister-in-law.

The old madam scowled, her face sank and scolded her immediately;

"You also know that you are the wife of Marquis Dongling, the mansion's affairs aren't handled well and you are thinking about your clan all day long. You can't let your clan go, why don't you let the Master take you off?" Shen Liang already built the bridge for them. If they still didn't know how to use it, they were truly stupid.

"Mother..." Liu Shuhan whispered when she heard this, but the old madam didn't give her a chance to speak at all;

"This is the case. If you are not satisfied, you can go to Shen Ruiting and let him talk to this old madam. Zhao Lan, Lu Yang since little five trusts you, you should investigate this matter. Find the person who destroyed his courtyard and find the housekeeper to open the warehouse, replace all the broken furniture and buy outside if you must. I'm tired so I'll go back first." The old madam gave resolute order, turned around and walked out with her maid.

"Mother, walk slowly." Zhao Lan and Lu Yang who were excited, sent the old madam out with a smile. Liu Shuhan couldn't conceal her disgust and looked at Shen Liang sullenly;

"Little five, you are so powerful. I looked down on you."

If it weren't how could she be so embarrassed?

"This is just the beginning. I am stingy and hold grudges. The pain Madam Shen has inflicted on me, my elder brother even my daddy. I will return to you mother one by one." There were no outsiders. Shen Liang didn't bother to pretend anymore. His immature face was filled with deep hatred.

"Let's wait and see." Holding her impulsive daughter, Liu Shuhan looked at the three master and servants then turned around and took their people out.

"Bah! Deserve it!" Qi Xuan spitted at the entrance fiercely. Qi Yue could only shake his head;

"Even if the old madam and other wives can't take away her power, her reputation will be even worse when things go out." Shen Liang sighed and said;

"This courtyard wasn't destroyed by Liu Shuhan."

"Huh?" Qi Yue and Qi Xuan looked at him in surprise. Shen Liang just smiled and didn't explain. Liu Shuhan had been immersed in Dongling Mansion's backyard matter for 20 years. She wouldn't do this meaningless trick. If he guessed correctly, it should be Shen Qiang or Shen Qiao. They did it without telling their mother. But he didn't care who actually destroyed it, he only used this as a bait. Liu Shuhan and the old madam would fight for power. You die and I live, this was the result he wanted.
