419 Beating Up Her Sc.u.mbag Father and Learning the Truth (2)
Before he could finish, Shen Yijia kicked him again.
She didn’t know where she kicked, but she vaguely heard a crack.
Shen Pingxiu cried out in pain and curled up into a ball.
“How dare you!”
!!
Even if she couldn’t see his expression, she could imagine that it must be twisted.
Shen Yijia raised her leg to kick again, but she stopped when she thought of something. She squatted down and dragged the sack to Madam w.a.n.g’s tombstone.
She reached out to untie the sack, but then she remembered that the person inside was naked, so she tore open a hole in the bottom of the sack.
Shen Yijia grabbed Shen Pingxiu’s hair and let his head fall out.
Shen Pingxiu was about to turn around and see who dared to treat him like this when his head was held down by a strong hand.
The words “Tomb of the Shen family’s deceased wife, Ruxuan” were reflected in his eyes.
Shen Pingxiu’s pupils constricted as he asked in fear, “Who are you?”
Shen Yijia sneered and cleared her throat. “How did you force Madam w.a.n.g to death back then?”
Because she deliberately lowered her voice, coupled with the fact that Shen Pingxiu was in great panic, he actually felt that the voice behind him was deep.
He wanted to shake his head and deny it, but he couldn’t move his head at all. He could only tremble and say, “I- I didn’t force her to death. She died of illness.”
Shen Yijia was impatient to hear this. She pulled his head up and pressed it against the ground, causing blood to flow from his forehead. The blood flowed down his forehead, looking especially terrifying.
“If you say one more wrong word, I’ll twist your head off.” Shen Yijia threatened fiercely.
She could not figure this out before. In her dream, the original host accidentally overheard him asking Madam w.a.n.g where her things were.
If it was really the map of that secret room, why didn’t he suspect the jewelry box which had been in the Shen family for more than ten years?
As soon as the original host got married, he seemed to have made up his mind. He even asked Shen Ruyun to travel thousands of miles to Xiagou Village to ask her for it.
Seeing that Shen Pingxiu was lying there without saying anything, Shen Yijia tightened her grip on his head.
“I accidentally heard that Old Master w.a.n.g left her a large sum of money. There was a chance for me to get promoted, and I wanted to use money to make the process easier. However, she said that that money was for the second daughter’s dowry and couldn’t be touched.”
Shen Yijia frowned. As expected, it was not the same thing. Then who asked him to look for the jewelry box?
“I just wanted to find that money. Who knew that she was so sick that she couldn’t even stand straight? I only pushed her gently.”
This was the same as what the original host had seen. She had seen her father kill her mother with her own eyes.
Little Yijia hid in her room in fear. After that, she fell seriously ill and forgot about this memory.
The more Shen Pingxiu spoke, the more self-righteous he felt. “I’m her husband, her everything. Shouldn’t she give me the money?”
Hearing his shameless quibble, Shen Yijia gritted her teeth in anger and knocked his head a few times.
Noticing that Shen Pingxiu’s eyes had rolled back and he was about to faint, she stopped. “Where’s the money?”
Shen Pingxiu’s head was dizzy and he could not think at all. He replied based on his fear of the person behind him, “I gave the money to Father-in-law. He said that he could help me.”
The father-in-law he was talking about was naturally Madam Chen’s father, Minister Chen.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. This person was so stupid. No wonder he only became an a.s.sistant minister after more than ten years. He would probably count the money for the Chen family if they sold him off.
In fact, Shen Pingxiu later regretted it very much. Back then, he barely entered the second round of the Imperial Examination and relied on Minister Chen to stay in the capital.
At that time, he had to rely on Minister Chen for everything, so he naturally did not doubt his words.
Unexpectedly, Minister Chen saw that he had abandoned Madam w.a.n.g, his wife, after gaining power. He was afraid that he would treat Madam Chen the same way in the future, so he did not want him to climb up so quickly.
However, so what if Shen Pingxiu finally opened his eyes? He still had to rely on his Chen family in the capital. He couldn’t go and ask for his money back.
Later on, the Shen family was more or less relieved to see that he had been obedient to Madam Chen all these years, so they let him get a small promotion.
If he had been down-to-earth back then, even if he stopped relying on them, as long as he made good political achievements, he would probably have been promoted to the capital in more than ten years.
Unfortunately, Shen Pingxiu had no choice but to continue supporting the Chen family.
This was because if he did anything else, it would be equivalent to offending the Chen family. It would be even worse.
Shen Yijia did not know about Shen Pingxiu’s grievances over the years. She only knew that the money that belonged to the original host had been lost by this person.
She gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to slap him to death. She asked one last question, “Then what’s in the box Madam w.a.n.g left for Second Miss Shen?”
