Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Shen Yuanxu ignored Wu Yanzhi's shouting. He looked at the pale-faced Wu Tingxue with a sarcastic expression.

"I don't blame you for divorcing me. Husband and wife are like birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. I used to hate you, but then I thought that it is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. Neither you nor I are saints, and I dare not guarantee that I will not abandon you when your family encounters a disaster."

Wu Tingxue looked at Shen Yuanxu with complicated eyes, but was afraid that others would notice something, so she quickly lowered her head.

"Why are you saying this? Things have come to this point."

Wu Yanzhi was already nervous when he heard Shen Yuanxu mention the peddler. Having been in a high position for many years, he had seen all kinds of ups and downs, and he would not be shaken by a few words from Shen Yuanxu.

"Shen Yuanxu, since you and my daughter can understand each other, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you give my daughter an explanation, our two families can still live in peace."

Shen Yuanxu: "That's not necessary!"

Wu Yanzhi and his daughter froze.

"It just so happens that there is someone around me who knows the peddler named Song. Although he disappeared inexplicably, there is still someone at home."

Wu Tingxue's face was pale as death.

Wu Yanzhi didn't believe it. He had asked his subordinates to check it out. The peddler surnamed Song had only one cousin who had been exiled to Dongchuan... Dongchuan a long time ago.

Wu Yanzhi stared at Shen Yuanxu. It was impossible. There couldn’t be such a coincidence in the world.

Shen Yuanxu: "It was a coincidence. On the way to Dongchuan, our family met a lady named Song. She had frequent correspondence with our family over the years. Those letters were all written by a peddler named Song himself."

Everyone present had already heard Duan Yi's words, wondering why something was wrong when the peddler Wu Tingxue was mentioned.

Intriguing glances kept moving between Wu Yanzhi and his daughter, and many glances fell on the children.

"That child doesn't look like Shen Yuanxu, nor does he look like any of the Shen family."

Some nosy ladies have already started to murmur in private.

Shen Yuanxu sneered, "The letter said that the peddler had hooked up with the daughter of a wealthy family and that she was pregnant. It also said that the lady gave him a lot of money and that he secretly took many of her personal belongings, fearing that she would turn against him later!"

Wu Yanzhi would never allow Shen Yuanxu to continue speaking. It was too late to stop him now. Everyone could tell that the young lady in Shen Yuanxu's words was Wu Yanzhi's daughter Wu Tingxue.

Wu Tingxue was so frightened that she was shaking all over and couldn't even take care of the child beside her.

"Enough, Shen Yuanxu, I'm talking about my daughter. Why do you keep mentioning a peddler for no reason?" Wu Yanzhi glared at Shen Yuanxu in anger.

"Sir Wu, as an important official of the court, you have worked hard and made great contributions. I admire you very much. I really can't bear to see your good reputation ruined. If you continue to pester me, I don't mind bringing all the things and people related to the peddler. We will confront each other in court and let His Majesty make the clear judgment for us!"

Wu Yanzhi looked at Shen Yuanxu gloomily. He didn't expect that the Shen family had already prepared a plan. The Shen family was forcing him to choose between Guan Sheng and his daughter.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Wu Yanzhi closed his eyes and knelt on the ground resigned to his fate.

When Wu Tingxue heard her father say this, she felt disheartened.

Shen Lanxi smiled softly and asked, "Prime Minister, what is your crime?"

A fierce look flashed across Wu Yanzhi's eyes. He quickly knelt on the ground respectfully, crawled a few steps on his knees, and cried to Emperor Renxiao: "It was because I didn't investigate at the time that I was deceived by my wicked daughter, so I came to Lord Shen. My crime is unforgivable. Please, Your Majesty, be lenient with me because of my love for my daughter!"

Shen Lanxi said curiously, "I didn't hear what Shen Yuanxu said just now. How did Lord Wu realize that he was deceived by his daughter? Could it be that Lord Wu had already suspected it, but did not verify it in time?"

Wu Yanzhi's face turned pale, and he immediately confronted Shen Lanxi: "Shen Lanxi, before, it was your Shen family who took my daughter and child to live in the mansion, and then you drove my daughter out. It was all your Shen family's words. Did my Wu family come to your house to make trouble?"

Shen Lanxi: "So, you still blame our Shen family for taking your daughter and child home on our own?"

Wu Yanzhi's eyes flashed, and he said aggressively: "My daughter has been missing for a long time. If you hadn't imprisoned her, we wouldn't have been separated for so long."

Shen Lanxi looked at the wonderful faces of the women in the Shen family with amusement.

"Grandma, Second Aunt, do you have anything to say?"

Old Madam Shen glared at Wu Tingxue fiercely, and then glared at Liu.

Liu was so angry that her mind went blank.

"Sir Wu, although I am just a common woman, I know etiquette and morality. You keep saying that our Shen family imprisoned your daughter and separated you and your daughter. I want to ask you, your daughter has been missing for such a long time, have you reported it to the police?"

Shen Lanxi looked at Wu Yanzhi, who was at a loss for words, with a smile. She wanted to hear what else this man could say in his defense.

Wu Yanzhi's face turned pale and he slapped his daughter in the face.

"evil creature."

After beating his daughter, Wu Yanzhi continued to plead guilty to Emperor Renxiao.

"Your Majesty, I did not agree with my daughter's divorce from Shen Yuanxu at the beginning, but she did it secretly. By the time I found out, it was too late. Then, I got angry and kicked my daughter out of the house, and threatened that I would never recognize her again. I don't want to talk about the past... It's really embarrassing for me."

People who don’t know the inside story might think that Wu Yanzhi was kept in the dark and was very disappointed with his daughter.

People who know the inside story think that Wu Yanzhi is too shameless and can turn black into white.

"Your Majesty, I am also a daughter. When I heard Lord Wu say this, I deeply felt Lord Wu's love for his daughter."

Emperor Renxiao thought for a moment and looked at Shen Lanxi meaningfully: "What does the Shen family want?"

Shen Lanxi: "The one who was falsely accused was Shen Yuanxu, so naturally it depends on the victim's wishes."

Wu Yanzhi thought that the Shen family had not made it clear publicly, which meant they were leaving room for the Wu family. As for Shen Lanxi's intention, it was nothing more than asking for some compensation.

That little compensation is insignificant to the Wu family's reputation.

Wu Yanzhi said to Shen Yuanxu in a sincere tone: "Yuanxu, it is our Wu family that is wrong this time. It is also my fault that I am old and confused and did not figure out the whole story, which made my nephew suffer."

Shen Yuanxu looked at Wu Yanzhi deeply, then immediately took two steps forward, passed Wu Yanzhi, and moved to the front to ask for instructions from Emperor Renxiao.

"I, your Majesty, have the audacity to call you uncle."

Emperor Renxiao smiled and said, "I promised you before that you can follow Lanxi and call me uncle. How dare you say that?"

Seeing that Emperor Renxiao spoke in a kind tone, Shen Yuanxu immediately smiled easily.

"Then I will dare to let my uncle make the decision. Please allow me to use my military achievements to ask Your Majesty for something!"

Wu Yanzhi's face turned ugly. Shen Yuanxu was not going to let their Wu family go.

Emperor Renxiao glanced at Wu Yanzhi, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What do you want to change?"
