Chapter 236 Apology
Chapter 236 Apology
As everyone in the Shen residence was in shock, Mo Yan said coldly, "If anyone has second thoughts about the palace, the prince, or the princess, think carefully. Their today will be your tomorrow!"
After saying this, he and Mo Wen left with the palace guards and the corpses all over the ground.
Shen Xuanxuan looked at the bloodstained yard and stumbled, "Brother, what should we do?"
"Sister, Dad is coming back. Let's wait for him to make the decision. Don't mention Mom and the others. The princess has been very kind to us. Both the princess and the young master almost got into trouble this time. The prince must be furious..." Shen Yi Yu whispered to comfort her.
"I know……"
"All of you go down and clean up the place. Be careful with your words and actions in the future. Don't go out and cause trouble. What happened today must not be spread to others..." Shen Yi Yu gave another order to everyone.
"Yes, young master!" Everyone quickly dispersed. They felt scared staying here.
In Prince Yan's mansion, Chu Tianze, dressed in casual clothes, sat in the yard playing the piano, Bai Chuxiao rested her head on him, listening quietly.
The melodious sound of the piano echoes in the yard, making people indulge in it and feel safe and comfortable.
"I never knew you played the piano so well..." After the song ended, Bai Chuxiao smiled while looking up.
"Ever since I got married to Xiaoxiao, it seems like we are always traveling apart. It feels a bit unreal for me to spend the days quietly playing the piano like this!" Chu Tianze said softly.
Bai Chuxiao smiled, "Isn't it? But during these days of free time, the Prince of Yan's Mansion is still running as usual. Facts have proved that it is not impossible without us. There is no need to do everything by ourselves like before."
"Yes, but Xiaoxiao used to play the pipa very well. I am lucky enough to hear a piece of music..."
"I can't play many songs. The song "Ten Sides of Ambush" I played before was too murderous. I hope I won't scare the little kid..."
"Little Baozi wants to listen to soothing music, you continue playing!" Bai Chuxiao continued.
"it is good!"
After that, Chu Tianze stroked the long zither with both hands again. The elegant sound of the zither slowly spread, and Bai Chuxiao couldn't help but slightly close her eyes...
Murong Xuan, Mo Yan and Mo Wen, who were standing outside the yard, stopped and did not dare to go up and disturb them when they saw the scene inside.
"The Second Young Master, does he still need to report...", Mo Yan asked in a low voice.
"He is indeed leisurely, but let's forget it since he is accompanying Sister Xiao. Let's go!" Murong Xuan murmured.
Two days later, Shen Tao finally rushed back to Yongzhou with a few guards, and all the people in the Shen family who needed to be dealt with had already been dealt with.
"Dad, you're finally back..." Shen Yiyu and Shen Xuanxuan seemed to have found their backbone...
Shen Tao sighed, "It's hard for you two brothers..."
"The prince doesn't want to see us, and we can't even apologize. What should we do?" It would be fine if the prince's mansion punished them, but doing nothing would be frightening. If this continues, the Shen family will be marginalized.
"I will go to the palace immediately..."
"The bodies of my father, mother and elder sister..." Shen Xuanxuan thought about it and spoke.
"Alright, Xuanxuan, don't mention it anymore. We in the Shen family will just pretend that these people don't exist. Do you think the trouble she caused is not enough? Since the palace has dealt with their bodies, we should stop interfering. Everything in the palace will remain the same, and we can skip the funeral. Don't make the palace unhappy..."
Shen Xuanxuan nodded, "My daughter knows..."
"It's good that you understand. This incident is your mother's own fault. It's also my fault that I clearly noticed her dissatisfaction earlier, but didn't make a decisive decision to lock her up."
"Alas, now that things have come to this, we should all behave ourselves. No one is allowed to bring up our past military exploits. If the princess gives birth to a young prince safely, the prince and his family may let go of their grudges against the Shen Mansion. Your mother's words this time have offended both the Wang Mansion and the Murong Mansion. You can't enter the Wang Mansion for now. When you have time, go and spend more time with the Murong Mansion."
"I understand, Dad!"
Shen Tao gave some instructions before heading to Prince Yan's Mansion.
In the main courtyard, Bai Chuxiao nestled in Chu Tianze's arms, leisurely nibbling on a crisp peach, watching him handle official business, and feeding him a few bites from time to time.
"Your Majesty, Princess, General Shen wants to see you and apologize for his crime!"
Mo Yan walked closer with his head bowed, not daring to look up. The prince and princess had been too annoying lately. Every time they had something to do, they had to think for a long time before they could muster up the courage to go in and report it, for fear that they would accidentally disturb the prince and princess' mood.
"No, let him go back and reflect on himself, and control the people in the mansion. If there is nothing important, don't come out..."
Chu Tianze spoke calmly without even raising his head.
"Yes!"
Shen Tao, who was outside the mansion, looked calm after hearing the rejection. "I understand. Please tell the prince and princess that the Shen family has no second thoughts about the Prince of Yan's mansion. Everyone in the Shen family will reflect on themselves in the mansion to ensure the safety of the princess and the young master. Before the young master is born safely, no one in the Shen family will walk around casually."
Mo Yan nodded slightly, "I will pass on General Shen's words. Please go back!"
"Thank you..." After saying that, Shen Tao turned around and left. However, before returning to the Shen Mansion to rest, he went to General Murong's Mansion first.
Murong Yuan, who happened to have just returned from the military camp, heard the report and had someone invite him in.
In the hall, Murong Yuan sat at the top, and Murong Cheng and Murong Xuan sat at the bottom.
Shen Tao, dressed in military uniform, strode in and bowed to the leader, "Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Ever since the Prince of Yan's Mansion openly issued a manifesto to purge the court of corrupt officials, Chu Tianling has already ordered the revocation of the official titles of the Murong family and related personnel in the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
But no one cared. They didn't care about him as the emperor, let alone the crappy imperial edict he issued, so everyone still called him the same thing as before.
Murong Yuan nodded slightly, "General Shen, please take a seat!"
Shen Tao sighed slightly, then bowed his hands and said, "My Lord, I am here to apologize. I hope you and the other gentlemen will not take my wife's words to heart. I know how much help the Marquis' Mansion has provided to the Prince of Yan's Mansion. In comparison, I am completely dependent on the Prince's support to get through today's little things, which are not worth mentioning at all..."
Murong Yuan said calmly, "I will not take the ignorant woman's words to heart, but she should never have attacked Xiao girl and the unborn child, and even said such vicious words. Not to mention the prince, even our Murong Mansion cannot tolerate it. If General Shen is dissatisfied with Madam Shen's treatment, he can come to the Murong Mansion..."
Shen Tao quickly raised his hand and said, "I dare not. I have no objection to the treatment of my wife, but now that everything that should be treated has been treated, I hope that it will not affect the relationship between the two families..."
