Chapter 515 What is my son, it turns out to be your nephew
Shen Cangzhu was not innocent, after all, Zhou Buyan was seriously harmed by him, and his sister was also involved.
The hatred for blocking the emperor's husband's path is too great. If it were him, he would probably fight back.
Zhou Buyan frowned when he saw his eyes, "I don't know."
This matter has nothing to do with him.
Shen Cangzhu didn't say anything. It didn't seem to be the case, but even if he was, he wouldn't say anything. It was natural for Zhou Buyan to fight back.
Chu Xingchen glanced at Shen Cangzhu and asked Tianliu directly, "What exactly is going on?"
Tianliu shook his head, "How this matter spread is still being investigated, but the news has spread. Someone testified that he saw the eldest son of the Shen family visiting the brothel with his own eyes."
"Some people say that Mr. Shen's son is somewhat similar to the son of Miss Zhong's family."
In addition to Xiao Wei, Shen Cangtong and Mrs. Song also have a younger son who seems to be two years old this year.
He is only half a year older than Xiao Ming. Some people have seen the youngest son of Shen Cangtong's family and unexpectedly met Xiao Ming's, and said that the two children are quite similar.
It's well said.
No one expected that the bell party would be related to Shen Cantong, but such news always spreads the fastest.
Shen Cangzhu became even more angry after hearing this, "Absolutely impossible."
He saluted, "Your Majesty, you said before that you would not pursue the previous matter, but now you are deliberately talking about the child. This is someone deliberately muddying the waters and deliberately framed my brother."
"It is even more nonsense to say that the children are similar. I have seen both children, and they are not similar at all."
Although he only had a quick glance at Xiao Ming's home in Zhong Sheng Wan, he remembered it more like Zhong Sheng Wan.
He believed in his brother that it was absolutely impossible.
"Your Majesty, this is a conspiracy and a slander."
Chu Xingchen took his words directly. "I will find out about this matter. If you want to ask your family, just go ahead and ask."
This thing is disgusting, but if you are upright and are not afraid of a distorted shadow, there is no point in settling old scores.
Shen Cangzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
He really didn't expect that before this matter was over, his brother would be involved.
When he came out of Liangyi Hall, he immediately asked Baopu to investigate the rumors, and then sent a letter home to ask Shouzhuo to find out who spread the rumors.
Once he finds out, he will never be polite.
Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan were also investigating. Zhong Shengwan had gone through enough things and it was almost time to end. It shouldn't be so endless.
But soon, both Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan and Shen Cangzhu discovered that this matter seemed to be unclear, or the more they investigated, the more they found out that it was not a rumor.
Shen Cangzhu just said that the matter was over, but he didn't expect that some things had begun, and it was not him who had the final say on what would happen next.
The late bell is not the end, but only the beginning.
It was like opening Pandora's box, one thing after another, he stopped, he stopped, but some people didn't stop.
They continued to investigate and found out more circumstances and truth.
Including children who ring late.
Shen Cangzhu soon knew that things were out of control.
When something happens, it leaves traces.
The rumors he thought were not rumors. The first man to spread rumors or tell the truth did not change his story even when the Shen family came to him, saying that he had just seen Shen Cantong go to a brothel.
He saw Shen Cantong hurriedly enter the room with his arms around a girl with a little red eyebrow.
More than two years have passed since this incident. Why does he still remember it? Because it was Shen Cantong.
The story of Shen Cantong and Mrs. Song's love as a couple was widely circulated, so it left such a deep impression on him that he has not forgotten it to this day.
You don't care about people who visit brothels every day.
But for people like Shen Cantong, you are so shocked and speechless that you may never forget it in your lifetime.
One news after another left Shen Cangzhu stunned.
The news spread quickly. After all, it was a story between Shen Shoufu's family and a brothel girl who passed the imperial examination. It was such a special moment.
It's so dramatic that even scripts and dramas wouldn't dare write it like this.
If this were true, Chief Shen would become a joke, and Shen Cangtong would be publicly scolded.
This was the time to conduct a strict investigation, and it was completely hit by the gun.
He will definitely become a model by then. Who makes him the most valued grandson of Shen Shoufu's family?
Previously, Shen Cantong was so outstanding that he was completely someone else's child, so many people were contrasted by him.
But in the end, Shen Cantong turned out to be just like this?
No matter whether they are people of the same age or in the officialdom, they will never miss such an opportunity.
He is different from other people who were scolded by the cane. After becoming a joke, even if it is affected, there is still room for redemption. But for Shen Cantong, this will be a stain that cannot be washed away in his life.
He has great ambitions, and in the future he wants to be like his grandfather, and be inspired to join the cabinet as the chief minister.
He has this ability and talent, so Shen Shoufu values him very much, focuses on training him, and regards him as his successor.
Such a person cannot and should not have such a stain.
Because, once it is confirmed, this tainted reputation will follow Shen Cantong for the rest of his life, and he may be whipped to death at any time.
When he wants to go further, he will be taken out, and when he moves towards the chief assistant, he will still be taken out.
This incident is no longer a trivial matter, it is a major event that affects Shen Cantong's life and even the Shen family.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, at dawn the next day, Shen Cangzhu could no longer sit still and left the palace and returned to the Shen family.
On Chu Xingchen's side, after going to court, he inevitably left the palace with Zhou Buyan and went to see Zhong Shengwan.
Zhong Shengwan naturally heard the rumors, but when facing Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan, he only smiled bitterly.
"I really don't have much memory. Maybe I can remember a little bit after meeting someone."
She was telling the truth, even though that was her last patron.
Because the guest was in a hurry and maybe drank some wine to cheer her up, she didn't say a word, wasn't allowed to turn on the light, and was even more impatient for her to talk.
He didn't want to chat, let alone let Zhong Shengwan know his identity, he just wanted to vent.
Zhong Shengwan is very familiar with such guests, because many guests cannot be known about their pleasures, so she naturally wants to know what they are doing.
So she cooperated throughout the process, turning her back to others, and never thought of looking back.
After it was over, she fell asleep, but the man left the money and left. No one was seen the next day, so she just regarded him as an ordinary guest.
It happened to be that day that Zhou Buyan redeemed her life. After such a good thing happened, it was impossible for her to think about that guest again.
"I never thought about looking for Xiao Ming's father before, why did I suddenly..."
Zhong Shengwan's eyes were red, and he looked like he hadn't rested for a long time. "I don't want people to notice Xiao Ming."
Her reputation is not good for Xiao Ming. She wanted to hide Xiao Ming forever, but this incident pushed Xiao Ming to the front.
It is naturally not a good thing for a child who is only one and a half years old to attract attention in this way.
Chu Xingchen nodded, "What do you want to do?"
After watching the bell, I must have made a decision in my heart.
