Shen Yuantang was choked again.

Shen Lanxi: "Father's monthly salary is 100 taels, two dan of rice, and about 20 jin of vegetables per month depending on the season. The meat is 3 jin per month. This was just settled three months ago. Before that, the monthly salary was only 80 taels, and there was no rice, vegetables or meat."

Shen Congwen no longer had the momentum he had just now, and said unnaturally, "Why are you talking about this? What does this have to do with your sister being grounded?"

Shen Lanxi: "What I want to say is that before the Shen family got into trouble, my mother provided for our family. After we returned to Beijing, I provided for our family. If this is considered ruthless, then I will be like the other brothers and sisters, only receiving monthly wages from the public treasury, and no longer sending money home!"

After hearing this, Shen Congwen was so angry that his lips trembled.

"Are you trying to use money to control your father?"

Shen Lanxi: "I dare not. I just want to be like other sisters and brothers. My father doesn't say anything to them when they take money from home, but I am the one who pays money to the family every month and is said to be heartless. I think this is unfair, so I will do whatever my brothers and sisters do in the future, so that I will not be called heartless by my father!"

Shen Yuantang immediately accused: "Big sister, you are now the Duke of Juding, with a title and fiefdom. What's wrong with giving some money to your family as a tribute? If I also had a fiefdom, I would definitely give all the output of the fiefdom to my family."

Shen Lanxi said coldly: "I have fought hard to get to where I am now. My fiefdom was given by His Majesty. It is what I deserve. What does it have to do with you?"

There were some things Shen Yuantang shouldn't say, so she quickly looked at her father.

"Father, does my elder sister have to separate herself from the family so clearly?"

Shen Lanxi: "It's not that I want to make things clear with my family, it's that some people are too much. I give things to my family out of kindness. It's my duty not to give anything. Since you say I'm heartless, then return the things you took from me to me."

Shen Congwen was furious: "Shen Lanxi, I just want you to help your sister. Look at how you are so fussy. Do you still have any blood ties in your heart?"

Shen Lanxi: "Father, you can yell and attract everyone here. I'm not afraid of people knowing that just because I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the Zhennan King's backyard, my father's biological sister accused me of being heartless and heartless."

"You you you...how outrageous~!" Shen Congwen was so angry that he was fuming.

Shen Lanxi: "Father is so angry, does he think what I said is wrong?"

"It just so happens that we have many guests today. If father feels that what I said is wrong, we can go find those people to judge the matter."

"Sister, what do you think?"

Shen Yuantang's face tightened and he looked at his father in panic.

"Father, my daughter will not allow my sister to beg for mercy."

Shen Congwen's chest was heaving with anger. He narrowed his eyes and glared fiercely: "Shen Lanxi, I didn't ask my children to give money to the family. If you think it's unfair, you don't have to give it to them from now on!"

Shen Lanxi: "The money for this birthday banquet will also be paid to Juding Mansion. Since father said it is not necessary, then please send people to settle the money for the birthday banquet at various shops!"

Shen Congwen was truly extremely disappointed with his eldest daughter.

She is petty, selfish, and has no sympathy for her brothers and sisters. She is so narrow-minded and cruel to her family members. He would rather not have such a person as his daughter.

"My Shen family will never spend a penny of your Juding Mansion's money in the future. You don't have to control our family just because of such a small matter!" Shen Congwen was so angry that he wanted to ask the housekeeper to check the accounts.

How could the Shen family spend her money as she said?

Isn't his salary money? Don't the men in his family have any income at all?

His second, third and fourth brothers are all businessmen. Although their family is not extremely wealthy, it is considered well-off. He does not believe a word Shen Lanxi says!

Shen Lanxi: "I remember what my father said, and I hope my father will also remember what I said today!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Shen Congwen was really angry. He didn't care whether it was a birthday party or not. He immediately went to find the housekeeper to check the accounts.

……

"Sir, all the men in the Shen family are here, and the women are fine too." After Shen Lanxi left, a subordinate immediately reported.

Emperor Renxiao had already announced in a high-profile manner that the eldest prince had returned to the capital, and at this time he transferred Zhou Ruyuan and Zhou Ruan'an away. She didn't believe that the capital would be peaceful.

"Go and keep an eye on the three princesses." The Shen family had something going on before, so the harem only sent gifts and no one attended.

Three princesses came at once today, something was obviously wrong.

If the target is not the men of the Shen family, then who would it be?

Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed, and she immediately went to the front hall.

"Where is General Wei? Have you seen General Wei?" After looking around and not seeing Wei Dongzhu, Shen Lanxi jumped several times in discomfort.

"No."

"Big sister, didn't General Wei come to look for you?" Shen Yuanqing suddenly said.

Shen Lanxi: "When did he come to see me? How did you know?"

Shen Yuanqing's heart skipped a beat due to the sharp look, and he had a bad feeling. He said quickly, "About a quarter of an hour ago, a female guard took General Wei away. Wasn't that the female guard by my elder sister's side?"

Besides the eldest sister, who else has female guards?

Shen Lanxi's expression changed immediately.

"Go find him quickly, don't disturb the guests in the mansion!"

All the men in the Shen family felt that something was wrong and hurried to look for someone.

Shen Lanxi had just taken a few steps when her servant came down to report.

"The three princesses have left the table."

Shen Lanxi's face immediately darkened. These past few days, she had only been thinking about how the Shen family's sons would be taken advantage of, and she had actually ignored such a big target as Wei Dongzhu.

Although she and Wei Dongzhu had always been together, they had no matchmaker or engagement. If it were another woman, she would definitely not be able to get the position of the main wife. But it would be different if it was the princess.

What a good hand of cards!

Soon a guard came to report that he had found the whereabouts of one of the princesses.

Shen Lanxi walked quickly for a while and suddenly stopped.

"Don't look for the princess, look for Wei Dongzhu!"

Even if it was Wei Dongzhu, it would be impossible for the royal family to sacrifice three princesses at once.

Someone wants to mislead, stop her and delay time!

Her every move was under everyone's sight, so Shen Lanxi simply walked in front of the crowd so that some people would let down their guard.

After a while, someone else came to report.

"Found it, in a locked guest room!"

Shen Lanxi stood up with a smile and said to everyone: "I drank too much tea, I'll come back later!"

Many women went to change clothes and touch up their makeup, and Shen Lanxi left the table without attracting much attention.

After leaving everyone's sight, Shen Lanxi took big steps and flew up, and in the blink of an eye she reached the guest room.

"Sir, the person has been controlled, and General Wei is inside!" The female guard stepped forward and whispered to Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi's eyes were as cold as ice: "Throw that woman to another guest room, and then..."
