The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 204 7 The Master Also Knows

Master Shen Er was in trouble this time, but he felt lucky because his two sons were still alive. Master Shen San and his son also came back in a mess, and as soon as they entered the house, they found Shen Maofeng and started fighting with him. At that time, Master Shen Da was still discussing something with Master Shen Er. When he heard the servant coming to report, the muscles on Master Shen Da's face trembled. He immediately looked at Master Shen Er and said, "Second brother, I think you should go and take a look. If I go in person, I'm afraid it will make things worse."

Master Shen Er didn't want to care. He was also full of resentment towards Shen Maofeng. Master Shen Er held his forehead and said, "Ouch! My head hurts again. Brother, I'm going to lie down on the bed for a while." Then he went back to his dormitory.

Master Shen was so anxious that he was spinning in circles. He finally understood that he was afraid that he and his second brother would become estranged.

Master Shen had no choice but to go to his son in person to deal with it.

When Master Shen arrived at Shen Maofeng's yard, he saw servants fighting fiercely in the yard, including the servants of the third house father and son and Shen Maofeng's servants. From far away in the main hall, the shouting and cursing of the third master and his son, as well as Shen Maofeng's retorts, could be heard.

When the third master's personal servant saw the eldest master Shen coming, he immediately shouted in a shrill voice to report it. Then the three masters inside rushed out, especially Shen Maofeng, who held his head like a three or four-year-old child, and crawled behind the eldest master Shen with his mouth wide open and crying.

Master Shen didn't care about his son. Seeing his third brother walking towards him with an angry face, he could only bite the bullet and greet him with a smile: "Third brother, what are you doing? It's disgraceful to do such an idiotic thing in front of so many servants."

Master Shen San said, "Dignity? How much is dignity worth per pound? You still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for you, my father and I would not only be humiliated, but we would also lose our lives."

Master Shen smiled and said, "You are too kind. Third brother is back safe and sound. This can't be blamed on us. It's all Shen Wen's fault. If he hadn't brought in the people from the three houses and Mr. Zhong, this wouldn't have happened."

When Mr. Shen San and his son heard the name Shen Wen and the two major factions related to him, they were so frightened that their legs began to twist.

Shen Yefeng waved his hand and said, "Don't push the blame onto others. I've known all your tricks for a long time. Shen Wen used to be as timid as a mouse. If you hadn't forced Shen Wen to die because of the illness of Lao Jiu's wife, the three houses and Zhong's manor wouldn't have intervened. What does this have to do with us? My father and I were hung on the city wall. People just want to know one thing, which of you two hired the Golden Sword Sect to assassinate Shen Wen. Now that things have come to this, for the sake of our family's survival, I advise you, uncle, to stop being stubborn. It was you who hired the person."

Master Shen was startled and said with his eyes wide open: "Don't slander me! It's not me!"

In the eyes of Master Shen San and his son, Master Shen Da simply refused to admit it, and Master Shen San was so angry that the skin on his chest was hollowed out. His body was about to stagger at the critical moment. If it weren't for his personal servant who hurriedly supported him, he would have fainted from anger.

Shen Yefeng also hurriedly supported his father, and said with an angry red face: "Okay! Okay! If you don't admit it, I will go to Huang Yulian's father and tell them how your lustful son fooled around with Baocheng County Lord and how he pissed Huang Yulian off to death."

Master Shen felt as if a huge rock was stuck in his throat. He was so anxious that he couldn't say a word and could only grab Shen Yefeng.

Shen Maofeng was really scared when he saw the father and son were ready to fight to the death. The most important thing was that the matter between the Baocheng County Lord and him could not be made public! That woman was a madman. If she was disgraced, Shen Maofeng would not only be killed, but his family would be ruined and their family would be destroyed.

Shen Maofeng quickly grabbed Shen Yefeng and said, "Fifth brother! My good fifth brother! Calm down! Let's talk it over! Let's talk it over! So, you can hit me as much as you want, you can smash anything in this yard, we masters and servants will listen to you, even if you want to kill me, I won't fight back."

Shen Yefeng didn't fall for his tricks, and pushed him away, saying, "Don't beg me, what's the use of begging me? It's your father who caused all this, why don't you go and beg him? Ask him to clear up this matter, and quickly sacrifice his life to give our Shen family peace. That's the right thing to do."

Shen Maofeng looked at his father, but he was his biological father after all! He was in a dilemma, and he said anxiously: "Aren't they just two gangsters? We are officials appointed by the court, and my father is a third-rank official of the court! Damn it, even if they have the guts, they dare not kill the officials appointed by the court. I will go to the imperial city to file a complaint and ask the emperor to send troops."

The Third Master and his son were also feeling aggrieved. They used to be so arrogant in the world, thinking that besides their parents, the Emperor, they were the biggest and most domineering people in the world. However, ever since they were hung on the city wall, they finally became sober. Apart from a noble status that could scare the common people, they were nothing. So what if the Shen family was powerful and influential? They had a number of guards and bodyguards at home, but they were still like chickens in a chicken coop, quietly taken away to the mountains and wilderness. In the eyes of those people, they were just like the inferior people they had bullied.

When he thought about how embarrassed he had come back, Master Shen San could no longer hold on and fainted with his head drooping.

Shen Yefeng called his father anxiously, and did not forget to threaten: "Just wait, if anything happens to my father, none of us will have an easy life."

The servants carried Master Shen San back amidst Shen Yefeng's repeated calls of "Daddy".

Master Shen and his son breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting through today's incident.

Master Shen looked at his son with a gloomy face and said, "You idiot! Do you think you hired someone from the Golden Sword Sect to do this?"

Shen Maofeng immediately said, "It's unfair! How could I do such a superfluous thing? Father, are you confused?"

Master Shen said, "You can't do this. What about the woman of Baocheng County Lord? Did she pay for this?"

Shen Maofeng said: "That's impossible. She didn't tell me."

Shen Maofeng said: "Baocheng is not a woman who is content to stay in the backyard. She has done a lot of things. The people in Sanjianzhai must know what she has done. Since Sanjianzhai has not found fault with her until now, it means that she has not intervened in this matter. This matter must have happened in our house... What do you think, is it possible that the woman in the backyard of our house..."

Master Shen was now like a headless fly. When he heard his son say this, he didn't think much and immediately stood up and rushed to the backyard of his house.

When he went to his wife's courtyard and saw the eldest wife, he first gave her a loud slap in the face and said angrily, "I knew you were a restless woman. It was you who instigated Shen Haofeng to sell out the fifth brother and sister. Tell me! Is it the same this time? I heard you threaten to deal with Shen Wen and Shen Shuchan sooner or later. My daughter is no longer close to you, and you blame them for everything."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He picked up the feather duster beside him and beat the eldest lady, saying as he beat her, "Our Shen family is about to be killed by you, a vicious woman, and you are hiding in the dark to survive..."

The eldest lady was beaten so hard that she screamed and howled like a ghost. She couldn't dodge the feather duster that fell on her, and she didn't dare to fight back. It was not until she was beaten to a pulp and the eldest master was exhausted and gasping for breath that he let her go.

Master Shen was so tired that he sat on the stool without saying a word.

Madam Shen wiped her tear-stained face, threw herself at her husband's feet and said, "God knows, Master, you are wronging me. It's really not me! Although I have that thought, I only mentioned it once or twice. I won't dare to get involved with the desperate criminals in the martial arts world. Master, why don't you think about it? With my background, how can I look down on the martial arts world, let alone let people of their status do things for me."

As he said this he started to cry.

The eldest master blinked his eyes and thought that this was true. His wife came from a scholarly family. Her whole family was Confucian scholars who pretended to be cultured. They looked down upon the gangsters the most. The eldest lady was taught by her father-in-law and although she learned the inner scheming from her mother-in-law, she was not a good person either. He concluded that the eldest lady would not hire Huo Hui to kill someone.

The master had no choice but to say, "Since you say so, I believe you. Get up now."

The eldest lady then wiped away her tears and was helped up by the maid.

The eldest master said, "Madam, please don't blame me for being cruel. Our Shen family is really in crisis now. I, the eldest master, am being instigated to turn my relatives against me. Madam, what do you think I should do?"

The eldest lady touched her red face and rolled her eyes, saying, "Master, I have something to tell you. After what happened at the Marquis' banquet, not only did I threaten to punish Shen Wen, but the fourth brother's wife also shouted so, and... Master, don't forget that her family is close to the second uncle at the border. Did she borrow the power of the second uncle? The second uncle and the seventh master all like to make friends with people in the underworld."

The master immediately stood up from his seat and left in a hurry.

As usual, the eldest master went to his second brother's yard to discuss things with him.

The second master didn't want to see him at first, but he had no choice but to listen to his nagging patiently as the brothers were too close.

The second master thought about the possibility mentioned by the eldest master, stroked his beard and said, "It is possible but not very likely. Right now, the fourth brother's wife is most concerned about the fourth brother's plan to bring his concubine's son back home. She is busy trying to stop this and I'm afraid she doesn't have time to do anything else."

The eldest master felt that what the second master said was right, and he was in a dilemma. His frown seemed to be enough to kill a fly.

Master Shen said irritably, "It's neither this nor that. Who did this? If I can't find that person, my life will be in danger."

Master Shen Er saw that he was not pretending, so he let down his guard against him and began to worry about his brother's life.

Master Shen was silent for a moment and said, "Master Qi is not at home now. If he were, I would ask him in person. In my opinion, such a small matter would not be hidden from Master Qi. Master Qi is very likely to know."
