Chapter 416 - 416: The Shu Family’s Ending Is Out

Zhao Xi took a step back and let her in.

Shu Yu pursed her lips and walked into the hall. As expected, Meng Yunzheng had already prepared fruits and snacks and was waiting for her.

“You knew I was coming?” Shu Yu sat down on the chair beside him.

Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, “l guessed it. I thought that you must be very eager to know the news of the Shu family. You shouldn’t be able to wait for a few days.”

Shu Yu poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down before getting straight to the point. “So, how’s the Shu family? Did anything happen when you followed Shu Feng to the Dongan Province?”

Meng Yunzheng raised his eyebrows. She was quite concerned about him.

“Nothing happened. They were so focused on the painting that they ignored everything else. They didn’t expect us to follow his lead and dig out the other factions of the Shu family in the Dongan Province.”

After a pause, Meng Yunzheng said, “The Shu family is finished.”

Shu Yu had probably guessed that she was more concerned about the Shu family’s outcome.

“With their crimes, how will they be sentenced in the end?”

Nieng Yunzheng pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, “Old Master Shu is not a bold person, so the main crime is corruption. The amount is not huge, but it is not small either. According to the laws of the Dasu dynasty, he would at most be sentenced to beheading himself, and the rest of the Shu family would not be implicated.”

At most, the family property would be confiscated and the Shu family would be locked up in prison. After a few years, they would still be released.

However… The Shu family was embroiled in the War of the Princes.

“Someone from above is targeting the Shu family, so the Shu family’s crime is huge. If First Master Shu is beheaded, the rest of the Shu family should be exiled.’

Shu Yu drank the water silently. As expected, the result was the same as in the book.

She thought for a moment. “Then, what about the fake Third Miss of the Shu family?”

Speaking of this, Meng Yunzhengs expression suddenly became a lot more serious. He sat up slightly. “This is also the most important thing I want to tell you today.”

Shu Yu looked up. “What’s wrong?”

“The person presiding over the Shu family’s case this time is the vice minister of central judicial office, Lord Jing. He has carefully interrogated the Shu family’s people, and many of them know your identity. Especially Concubine Xue. She explained your background very clearly. She also said that you escaped and that the captured Third Miss of the Shu family was an imposter.” Shu Yu was speechless. D*mn it, she really couldn’t escape.

She rubbed her temples. “So, I have to accompany the Shu family in exile, right?”

Although she knew that this would be the outcome, she still felt frustrated when she heard the news.

However, she was originally in a mess, but now he landed on the ground.

Meng Yunzhengs mouth tightened. “It’s not a big problem on Lord Jing’s side. Besides, Xiang Weinan has already told him about your identity. Lord Jing also knows that you were the one who found the painting. “However, Lord Jing was not the only one trying the Shu family’s case. There were also several forces involved, including those who targeted the Shu family.”

“Although your presence in the Shu family is very weak, it’s not like you don’t exist. They will find you. Even if you are only the adopted daughter of the Shu family, even if the Shu family wants to kill you, they will not leave you outside. They even suspected that the Shu family had gotten wind of it in advance, so they deliberately sent you away in such a way to leave a backup plan..”
