Seeing Shen Li coming, Pingyang Hou's expression eased a lot.

He disliked Shen Mi because he felt that Shen Mi was the one who killed his wife and was also somewhat related to the death of the old marquis, so he held a grudge against her.

But Pingyang Hou trusts and likes Shen Li very much.

Shen Li had a calm expression, tucked in her clothes, walked to Shen Mi and helped her up.

"Mi'er, get up."

She turned to look at Shen Feng, "Feng'er, how long are you going to keep this secret from daddy?"

"Eighty percent of the dowry left by my mother was taken by you. If Mi'er hadn't told me, I would have been kept in the dark until now."

“Sister…” Shen Feng got up from the ground, staring at Shen Mi with bloodshot eyes.

"Sister, father, you have all been deceived by her. Now that she has returned to Yanjing City, she is determined to make our entire Shen family restless!"

"How dare you lie!" Shen Li was furious.

"Today I sent someone to investigate and found out that you were indeed hanging out with the top prostitute in the brothel day and night, but you still refuse to admit it."

"You don't know how the people of Yanjing criticize our Shen family behind our backs."

"How could the Shen family produce an ungrateful person like you? Are you worthy of your dead mother?"

Shen Feng was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he hurried to explain.

"Dad, listen to my explanation. It's not what they said..."

'Snapped! '

Just as he was about to explain, he was slapped hard in the face, causing his cheek to sting instantly.

He raised his eyes and saw the Marquis of Pingyang in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was purple with anger.

"You said Mi'er lied, could it be that your sister lied too?"

"You are such a loser. You still don't repent and are trying to cover up the truth."

"I was wondering why you were away from home all day and your business was not doing well. It turns out that you have been deceiving your father and even wanted to take your mother's dowry!"

"Someone, drag the young master to the front hall first!"

Pingyang Hou shook his sleeves. "It's because your father indulged you too much."

"Dad, listen to my explanation. It's not what you think! Dad!"

Before Shen Feng could finish his words, several guards in black came over, dragged Shen Feng up from the ground, and walked towards the front yard.

Shen Feng was held down by the guards, his vicious eyes fixed on Shen Mi.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Mi, you are such a disaster, you shouldn't have come back!"

"How could I have a sister like you!"

Seeing Shen Feng being dragged to the front hall by the guards, Shen Mi felt that this was a good thing. At least Shen Feng was still alive and there was still room for maneuver.

The court doctor came and saw that Shen Mi only had a minor wound on her forehead, so he stopped the bleeding and left.

Shen Mi turned around and looked at Shen Li beside her. "Sister, let's go to the front hall too."

"it is good."

All of a sudden, the front hall became lively.

Old Madam Shen was old and had already gone to bed, so the maids did not disturb her.

In the front hall, the candlelight flickered slightly, and Marquis Pingyang sat in his seat with a grim face.

He ordered the guard beside him: "Send someone to Yihonglou to find out whether the eldest son is fooling around with a prostitute named Li Niang. Go quickly and come back quickly."

"Yes, my lord." After receiving the order, the guard turned around and hurriedly left the marquis's mansion.

An hour later, the guard who had left the house came running back and reported the incident at Yihonglou to Pingyang Hou.

Marquis Pingyang stared at Shen Feng who was kneeling below with a sullen face.

The atmosphere in the hall was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, and the maids and servants dared not utter a word.

Shen Mi stood beside Shen Li, clenching her fists.

Shen Feng knelt on the ground, staring at Shen Mi with his scarlet eyes, as if he was going to chew her to pieces the next moment.

But Shen Mi didn't care. When Shen Shu's coming-of-age ceremony came, she wanted to let her brother see Lin's true face clearly.

By then, he will understand that everything she does as a younger sister is to protect him.

If they were not born of the same mother, Shen Mi really would not want to get involved in such affairs, but she could not bear to see the things left by her mother being taken away by others and finally falling into Lin's hands.

Pingyang Hou, who was sitting in his seat, held the teacup in his hand and said angrily, "Tomorrow, bring back all the money you took out, or I will treat you as my son."

"That's what your mother left for Li'er and Mi'er, for them to use when they get married."

"Now, you have given it to a woman in a brothel. You are really my good son."

Shen Feng knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Pingyang Hou.

"Father, there is no way I can take back what I have given away. I can't do it..."

"Besides, Li Niang's family background is miserable. She is an innocent girl. She and I are in love and have already decided to spend our lives together. She will be your daughter-in-law in the future. Aren't we all family members?"

"Rebel!"

The face of Pingyang Hou, who was sitting in the seat, instantly turned purple and red, and he slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, with a "bang!" sound that echoed throughout the front hall.

He roared, "Come here, beat him up! I don't believe I can't kill this rebellious son today!"

"You are really blind. If she was willing to marry you, she would have redeemed herself long ago with so much money. You have been holding her back all this time. Are you blind?"

"How could I have given birth to a fool like you? It's because I've been too tolerant and generous to you."

Upon hearing the noise, several guards immediately rushed out with sticks and pressed Shen Feng roughly to the ground.

Just then, Lin rushed in from outside.

"My Lord, what are you doing? Feng'er is your eldest son. Are you going to beat him to death?"

"You can't hit him, my Feng'er."

Lin walked over crying, pushed the guards away, and knelt on the ground pretending to protect Shen Feng.

"Although Feng'er made a mistake, it doesn't mean that the Marquis will use family rules."

"If you beat Feng'er to death, what will happen to our Shen family in the future?"

"My Lord, please forgive Feng'er for my sake and for the sake of my late wife. He lost his mother when he was young, and now he has to be punished by you like this."

Shen Mi sat on the chair, looking at Lin who was so good at acting at the moment, and felt only irony.

As expected, her two brothers were spoiled by Lin, which was why they had such a tragic ending in their previous lives.

Who would have thought that a hypocritical person could be an invisible killing weapon.

Shen Feng and Shen Yu are becoming increasingly spoiled and lawless, and one day they will make a mistake from which there is no turning back.

Shen Yu hasn't returned home yet. I guess he went to some casino again and lost all his money.

Shen Mi really couldn't sit still, she slowly stood up from the chair and looked towards Pingyang.

"Father, as the saying goes, spoiling a child is like killing him. My brother has made such a big mistake now. If I don't punish him today, he will cause great trouble in the future."

Shen Feng's eyes were red as he stared at Shen Mi and said angrily, "Shen Mi! Are you trying to kill me? How can you be so cruel, my sister!"

"It really is a disaster star. It won't let me have peace since it came back."

Shen Mi didn't want to pay attention to him, she only looked at Pingyang Hou's attitude.

Every time Lin tried to stop her father from punishing her two brothers, she would bring up her biological mother just to soften her father's heart.

She said calmly, "Father, I think mother's spirit in heaven would not want to see her two sons being spoiled beyond recognition."

"Today, my brother dared to cheat mother of her dowry to please the women in the brothel. If he becomes more daring in the future, he will also use the entire Pingyang Marquis Mansion to please others."

"Now, although our Shen family has a title, it was also awarded for merit when Dayan was founded. Unfortunately, after so many years, the Shen family has gradually declined."

"Zhang Huaian, the prince of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, is about the same age as my brother. He is also one of the top-ranked scholars in the imperial examination and is currently serving as an official in the court."

"The prince of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion has also made great achievements in the army. His Majesty values ​​him very much."

"Our Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and Ningyuan Marquis Mansion were conferred the title together."

"But now, our two sons of the Pingyang Marquis's family, one is addicted to prostitution and the other is addicted to gambling. I want to ask, what will happen to our Shen family in the future?"

"Spoiling a child is like killing him. The eldest and second brothers are what they are today because of Daddy's repeated softness of heart."

Did Pingyang Hou understand Shen Mi's words clearly?

He looked at Lin who was protecting Shen Feng and said angrily: "Get up, what are you protecting me for!"

"Do you want Shen Feng to sell our entire Shen Mansion in the future?"

"My Lord, that's not what I meant. I just feel sorry for Feng'er."

"Then you're feeling bad for the wrong reason, get out of the way!"
