“No,” Shen Wenbo said.

“What?” Madam Chen did not expect her only son to refute her. She jumped up from her chair and screamed in disbelief, “Even you have to stop Mother? Don’t tell me you can’t bear to see that it’s your father’s son? That’s a bastard, not your brother.”

“Mother.” Shen Wenbo rubbed his forehead with a headache. He personally poured a cup of tea and handed it over. He comforted her, “Listen to me first.”

Madam Chen took a deep breath and sat back down.

“Mother, if we want to resolve this matter, we have to do it from the root. This mother and son are the root of the issue.”

The mother and son discussed in the reception pavilion for an hour before a maidservant rushed in.

“Madam, Young Master, Old Master is awake. He said that he knows who did it and is going to settle scores with someone.”

“He still has the cheek to make a fuss. If he hadn’t done such a dishonorable thing, who would have taken advantage of this loophole?” Madam Chen reprimanded coldly.

Usually, no matter who she was talking to, she would always put on a gentle mask. This was the first time she had lost her composure like this. It could be seen that the existence of Shen Pingxiu’s mistress had shocked her greatly.

Compared to Madam Chen, Shen Wenbo was much calmer.

Not long after Shen Pingxiu woke up today, someone came to the palace. He had yet to understand the situation.

He stood up and advised, “Mother, do as I say. Go and comfort that woman first. I’ll go and see Father.”

“It’s that unfilial daughter. It must be her. She’s here to avenge her mother.”

As soon as Shen Wenbo stepped into the main courtyard, a porcelain bowl hit him with a bang.

He frowned and glanced unhappily at the servants in the house. He said coldly, “Clean up this place and bring up another bowl of medicine.”

“Yes sir.”

After they left, he walked to the bed and sat down. He said emotionlessly, “Father, what are you doing?”

Shen Pingxiu propped himself up and grabbed Shen Wenbo’s hand. “Wenbo, it’s her. It was that unfilial daughter who did it. Bring her here. I’ll beat her to death today.”

Shen Wenbo frowned and retracted his hand without a trace. “You’re saying that Second Sister kidnapped you out of the city and beat you up like this?”

“She’s not your sister. She’s a demon who’s here to collect a debt.” Shen Pingxiu roared.

Because he moved too much, he accidentally pulled at his wound, causing his face to twist in pain.

A glint flashed across Shen Wenbo’s eyes. He confirmed again, “Father, can you see clearly that she did it?”

Shen Pingxiu paused and quickly became self-righteous. “Who else could it be? Do you know where I was kidnapped?”

“In front of Madam Wang’s grave! That unfilial daughter asked me to kowtow to Madam Wong’s grave.”

He did not say that the other party had also asked about Madam Wang’s death. He had accidentally killed someone for his wife’s dowry. He could not bring himself to say such a thing even to his own son. If not for the fact that he wanted to save his life at that time, he would have kept this matter to himself for the rest of his life.

Shen Wenbo glanced at Shen Pingxiu’s forehead and naturally did not miss his reaction just now.

However, it did not matter whether he saw it clearly. There was no one else in this world who would stand up for Madam Wang.

Moreover, that mistress was already six or seven years old. His father would have to take care of that mistress for a longer time. Why didn’t anything happen in the past, but something happened right when that wretched girl returned to the capital?

If Shen Yijia knew what he was thinking, she would definitely refute. After all, even the heavens wanted to help her. She would beat him up regardless of whether he had a mistress or not.

The more Shen Pingxiu thought about it, the angrier he became. He urged, “Go and call that unfilial daughter home now.”

After saying that, he was afraid that Shen Yijia would not come. He narrowed his eyes and continued, “Just say that I’m seriously injured. As a child, she didn’t even come to take a look. Is she trying to be unfilial?”

Great Xia ruled the world with filial piety. If they were disobedient and unfilial, their parents could report them to the officials, but the consequences would be that they would also be charged with lax discipline.

Moreover, it was said that family scandals could not be publicized. Usually, families would close their doors and resolve it themselves. Very few people would cause trouble in the government office.

Shen Pingxiu naturally did not intend to report it to the authorities. He just wanted to use this to threaten Shen Yijia to come back.

Because she was already married, she was given the surname of her husband. It was said that if she was accused of being unfilial, Song Jingchen would be the first to be implicated.

“Sister, do you think so?” Bruiser showed Shen Yijia the small wooden block he had worn down.

The small wooden block was sawn off from the wooden board Shen Yijia had carved. Then, Lin Shao and Bruiser polished it into a single word.

Shen Yijia looked up from the wooden board and rubbed her sore eyes. She took the single word and glanced at it. “I’ll polish it here again. Every wooden block has to be the same size and height, according to the standard I used at the beginning.”

“Alright.” Bruiser scratched his head and looked at Lin Shao enviously.

He was used to being rough since he was young, so he was never as meticulous as Lin Shao.
