"You hit me?" Xie Xilan repeated. She had already accepted that Shen Zhili was a heartless person.

But she never thought that Shen Zhili would dare to hit her!

If it weren't for the Xie family, everyone in the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion would have no idea where to hide!

The only two heirs of the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion were both born from Xie Xilan's belly!

Shen Zhili actually dared to hit her?

"What's wrong with hitting you? Do you think you are the same as the princess and we can't touch you? Don't you see how poor the Xie family is now? I'm afraid that after Zhili is reinstated, he will be dragged down by your useless father!"

Old Madam Shen slapped the armrest, but she still felt that one slap was not enough to satisfy her!

Shen Zhili was avoiding her gaze at first, but after hearing what Old Madam Shen said, he became more angry, even though he was not making sense:

"You spoke rudely to your mother. Not only will I have to beat you, I can even divorce you!"

"Divorce me?" Xie Xilan's eyes widened: "You want to divorce me?"

"I have Tian'er, how dare you divorce me?" Xie Xilan grabbed Shen Zhili by the collar:

"Why don't you try to divorce me? You tricked me into eloping and said you would make me your legal wife. But I've waited for you for so many years and gave birth to a son and a daughter for you, but I'm still a concubine in the mansion!"

"Now that my Xie family has fallen on hard times, you want to kick me out? I guess you're even going to take my dowry. Haha, this is what you, Shen Zhili, are capable of!"

"Just write the divorce letter, and I'll present it to the emperor along with the good things you did in Anping. I'll see if we can still keep the Weiwu Marquisate!"

"Shut up!" Shen Zhili was furious, but he didn't dare to let go of his hand that he had stretched out in anger!

"Hahaha, go ahead and hit me! I wonder if you dare to kill me!" Xie Xilan stared at him with bloodshot eyes:

"No matter how poor my Xie family is, my father can still go in and out of the palace. I grew up in the Gu family after all, and the family ties we had during those years were not fake. If I died in the Marquis' Mansion, do you think they would ask you for an explanation?"

Shen Zhili's hands were shaking violently, but he didn't dare to gamble!

The flood in Anping killed many people, submerged many fertile fields, and left the people homeless and miserable.

But the reports submitted to the court showed a scene of peace and prosperity.

Xie Huaizhong helped a lot in this!

Even if Shen Zhili was willing to bet that Xie Huaizhong would not be willing to go to jail with him, there were so many grasshoppers on the same rope, and as long as one of them smelled the danger, it could cost Shen Zhili his life!

Shen Zhili saw further than Xie Xilan. It was best to keep such things to oneself.

He was not afraid of the three courts coming to investigate, but he was afraid that he would lose his life inexplicably before the investigation even started!

"You're crazy! You're a lunatic!" Shen Zhili kept whispering.

Fear, frustration, viciousness, resentment...

Thousands of emotions intertwined together, causing a bloody smell to well up in his throat!

"You don't dare! Hahahaha, you don't dare!" Xie Xilan laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe:

"Shen Zhili, not only do you not dare to divorce me, you also have to make Tian'er the crown prince, otherwise, I will not let you have an easy life!"

"What are you talking about? How can a wife threaten her husband like this? Zhili, just write a divorce letter and ask her to get out of the mansion!" Old Madam Shen naturally wanted to help her son.

"Shut up!"

This kindness was roared back by Shen Zhili like a ferocious wolf!

"Get lost! Go back to your Tingyuxuan!" Shen Zhili roared.

Xie Xilan pushed him hard, straightened her back, and said proudly: "Remember my words, Shen Yitian is destined to be the prince of the Weiwu Marquisate!"

Shen Zhili was pushed down on the chair. Even though the cushion was soft, he grimaced in pain.

"She's really rebelling!" Old Madam Shen slammed the table in anger. "She's just a concubine, how dare she act so arrogantly? She even wants Shen Yitian to be the heir. What's wrong with her?"

Shen Zhili closed his eyes and waited for the pain to pass. When he opened his eyes again, Xie Xilan was no longer in the room.

He really didn't expect that Xie Xilan would keep Anping's things. She said that these things were the cause of trouble and she would have turned into a charcoal basin long ago!

It turns out that Xie Xilan has never been on the same page with me!

This woman always keeps a way out and always wants to control herself!

For his own selfish desires, he even wanted to bury the entire Shen family!

But he was so stupid that he drove Gu Feiwan away for such a woman!

Shen Zhili covered his chest and realized for the first time how stupid he was!

If he had lived a good life with Gu Feiwan, the Xie family would not have fallen into decline, and the Gu family's financial resources would have belonged to the Marquis' Mansion.

By then, whether it is officialdom or money, there will be endless support!

The Weiwu Marquisate will surely soar to great heights!

The mansion would not have married a shrew like Xiao Shuxue, causing unrest in the whole house, and he would not have been injured and has not recovered yet!

The more Shen Zhili thought about it, the more regretful he felt, and the more heartbroken he felt!

These were what he deserved. It was Xie Xilan who harmed him!

"Father, has mother done something wrong again?" A little man stepped into the doorway:

"Dad, don't be angry with mom. Mom prepares medicine for you every day. She loves you."

Shen Yunran came in, bowed politely, and his little face was full of anxiety.

Shen Zhili was stunned when he heard this: "What medicine did she prepare?"

The medicine he took every day was redeemed by his servant from outside, who brewed it with his own eyes. He had never heard that Xie Xilan had interfered.

Shen Yunran's eyes were innocent and confused: "My mother crushed the medicine that my father took every day and put it in that jar. It took a long time to boil it, but my mother never let the servants help. She did it herself..."

Shen Yunran's lips opened and closed, but Shen Zhili's ears were buzzing.

The chill that suddenly rose up on his back went straight to the top of his head!

Xie Xilan added something to the medicine he drank!

No wonder his injuries kept coming back. He finally invited the imperial physician to see him, but he couldn't find anything.

Shen Zhili thought that he was seriously injured and could not recover immediately, but it turned out that someone was secretly harming him!

The person who hurt him was his closest bedmate!

"Ran'er, tell me again, what did your mother do?" Old Madam Shen also heard something wrong and asked in a kind voice, but her hands couldn't stop shaking!

"Ran Er thought that his father's illness was never getting better, and his mother must be worried about him, so she ground the medicine by hand every day and sent it to his servant to boil together. She was afraid that the servant would find it troublesome, so she gave the servant extra money!"

Shen Zhili collapsed in the chair. Shen Yunran's words made it even more certain that Xie Xilan had ulterior motives!

Judging from Xie Xilan's personality, if she really wanted to do it for his own good, she would be eager for the servant to tell him. Why would she spend money just to shut the servant up?

How can this be considered as worrying about his injury?

This is because they think he is dying too slowly!

Thinking of Xie Xilan's strong request to make Shen Yitian the heir when she left,

Shen Zhili suddenly realized: After his death, Xiao Shuxue would have no offspring. Besides Shen Yitian, who else could inherit the Weiwu Marquis Mansion?
