Chapter 498 Identity Exposed
Chapter 498 Identity Exposed
When Concubine Lan entered the secret room, she saw He Yuan sitting there with a gloomy face.
"Brother Yuan, what's going on?"
After finding out yesterday that the Crown Princess secretly took those two brats out of the palace, I was so excited.
I couldn't find a chance to take action, so how could I miss it? That's why I informed Brother Yuan of the news. But now he looks so bad, could something have gone wrong again?
"I failed again this time!" He Yuan glanced at Concubine Lan.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. In order to get rid of that brat, he sent more than a hundred top masters this time.
In the end, only two came back. I didn't expect that the prince's Dragon Hidden Guards were so powerful that they killed so many masters.
“……” Concubine Lan frowned.
I was so depressed. I thought I would hear some good news, but ended up failing again.
It's such a pity that I missed such a good opportunity.
"Brother Yuan, what should we do next? Otherwise..."
Concubine Lan stopped talking halfway, and He Yuan knew what she meant.
"Let me think about it again."
If he fails to force the emperor to abdicate, the entire family will be finished, and all his hard work over the years will be in vain.
Therefore, this matter cannot be taken lightly and must be carefully considered.
"Okay." Concubine Lan nodded.
She also knew that this matter was dangerous and that she really needed to think it over again and again. Just as she was thinking about it, He Yuan pulled her into his arms.
"Lan'er, help me relieve my heat." After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her.
Nothing has gone well these days, so I need to vent my anger quickly to avoid developing into an illness.
"Hateful." Concubine Lan hooked her arms around He Yuan's neck and was quickly pressed under him.
Clothes were scattered and embarrassing noises could be heard from the room from time to time.
The next morning, the news that the wife of the left prime minister and his eldest son were killed by robbers on their way to burn incense spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
At the morning court session, the emperor and his ministers offered some words of comfort. Shen Qiaoqiao was extremely shocked when she heard the news.
He specifically asked for leave from Shang Zhanfei and hurried back to the prime minister's residence, but was stopped as soon as he arrived at the gate.
"Second Miss, please wait a moment. I will report to the master and the mistress right away."
"Madam?" Shen Qiaoqiao frowned.
Didn't you say that mother is gone? How could this servant say that? As if he understood what she was thinking, the servant bowed again.
"Second Miss, the master has already promoted Aunt Liu to be the principal wife."
"What?" Shen Qiaoqiao was immediately angry.
My mother and younger brother had just passed away, and my father made that bitch his principal wife so quickly, unafraid of being laughed at by others.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he rushed into the yard, but he didn't even see a white flag, which made him even angrier.
He came to the front hall in a rage, and saw his father drinking tea and looking at the child in Aunt Liu's arms with a smile, which made him even angrier.
"Where are my father, mother and brother?"
"Why are you here?" Shen Ze's face suddenly turned cold.
Thinking of what the court doctor had said, anger rose in my heart again.
Shen Qiaoqiao was stunned when she heard her father say this, but soon started to blame him again.
"Where are my father, mother and brother?"
There wasn't even a white banner hanging in the yard, and the bodies of the mother and brother were not seen. If you didn't know, you would think that no one had died in this house.
I don’t know where my father placed them.
"It's been thrown out." Shen Ze suppressed his anger. When Shen Qiaoqiao heard him say that, she immediately got angry.
"What? Father, how could you do this? Mother is your first wife, and my brother is your son!"
Shen Qiaoqiao's voice was almost a roar. She glared at Shen Ze with dissatisfaction. She thought her father would have a grand funeral for several days, but she never expected him to be so cruel.
Shen Ze was already angry, and after hearing what Shen Qiaoqiao said, he put down the teacup in his hand.
"My first wife! Is she worthy? My first wife is Yiyi's mother. As for that bastard, it would be great if I could leave their bodies intact."
Shen Ze glared at Shen Qiaoqiao viciously. He became extremely angry whenever he thought about how he had been played around by them all these years.
If she hadn't been married, I would have reunited her family of four.
"What did you say?" Shen Qiaoqiao was stunned, her head buzzing.
Judging from what Dad said, it seems that he has discovered the affair between Mom and the court doctor.
Seeing her guilty look, it seemed that she already knew his identity, and Shen Ze became even more angry.
"Now that you are married, I don't have to say anything. Take care of yourself in the future and don't cause trouble for Yiyi, otherwise I will never let you go!"
Shen Ze stared at Shen Qiaoqiao coldly. When he thought of the torture they had inflicted on Yi Yi over the years, he wished he could kill her too.
But she knew that she couldn't do that. After all, she was married to the second prince, and even if she beat a dog, she still had to look at the owner.
Now I can only warn her to be more obedient and not cause trouble for Yiyi, otherwise I will never let her go.
"..."Shen Qiaoqiao.
Her heart sank to the bottom. Her father had really discovered what had happened. It seemed that the death of her mother and brother was not an accident.
It must be that the matter was exposed and he was executed by his father. When he thought that they were all dead, he felt panic and anger in his heart.
"How could you do this? We have been with you for so many years, don't we have any feelings at all?"
It would have been better if Shen Qiaoqiao didn't say this, but Shen Ze was completely furious after hearing it.
"You're accompanying me! You've caused me to be childless, and you've tortured my own daughter all day long. Are you accompanying me? You're coveting my Shen family's assets!"
He glared at Shen Qiaoqiao angrily. When he thought of his pampering of them siblings and his indifference to Yi Yi over the years, he was so angry. Now he still had the nerve to say this.
"Father, you've loved me so much since I was a child! Don't you really care about our father-daughter relationship?" Shen Qiaoqiao burst into tears.
Growing up, her father loved her the most. Now he is so indifferent to her, which is hard for her to accept.
"You stole all of Yi Yi's things. Yi Yi is my biological daughter. She is the one who should be pampered, not you, a bastard!"
Whenever I think about how I had neglected Yi Yi over the years and favored these two bastards, I feel filled with remorse.
"Father..." Shen Qiaoqiao wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Shen Ze.
"I am not your father. You will have to take care of yourself in the future. If you want to find your mother and the others, go to the mass grave."
Shen Ze waved at Shen Qiaoqiao. Hearing her calling him father only made him feel more guilty towards Yi Yi.
"..." Shen Qiaoqiao clenched her back teeth.
Seeing the father who loved him the most in the past become so indifferent, his heart sank to the bottom. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and left.
The moment I stepped out of the house, I felt indescribable.
She has no home now, and who will support her in the future? Wouldn’t her life be even more difficult?
Thinking of the mass grave, he hesitated for a moment, and finally got on the carriage.
"Go back to the palace."
She couldn't go to collect the bodies of her mother and the others, otherwise her identity would be exposed if others knew that she was an illegitimate daughter.
Then her life will be even more difficult in the future.
