Chapter 30: Something is wrong

Soon, Shen Jing arrived at the main gate.

At this moment, the Song family members and the Zhao family members were standing at the entrance, anxiously looking around.

Madam Su wouldn't let them in, and this attitude made them extremely uneasy.

Seeing Shen Jing walk out, Song Jinshan quickly plastered a smile on his face: “My virtuous nephew…”

“Don’t call me that!”

Shen Jing stopped Song Jinshan, “Who the hell is your virtuous nephew?”

Song Jinshan’s face stiffened, and he cursed inwardly.

A dog relying on its master’s power!

If Madam Su wasn't backing him up, what was he?

Although furious, Song Jinshan dared not lash out. He could only force a smile, humbly apologizing: “Young Master Shen, I have offended you greatly before. Please be magnanimous and let us off the hook. This is a small token of our appreciation; please accept it, Young Master Shen!”

As he spoke, Song Jinshan offered the gift again.

He genuinely dared not provoke Shen Jing now.

This was the Emperor directly intervening!

Even Zhao Ying was directly arrested by people sent by the Emperor!

Next, it would probably be the Song Family’s turn!

If they couldn't get Shen Jing’s forgiveness, the Song Family would be finished!

However, Shen Jing didn't take the gift at all.

What gift could be worth hundreds of thousands of guan?

Damn it!

Burning paper money at a grave, trying to fool ghosts!

“Shen Jing…”

Song Lianxin looked at Shen Jing pitifully, then desperately squeezed out a few tears, “It was my fault before, I was willful, I let you down, I… I…”

As she spoke, Song Lianxin buried her head and began to cry softly.

“You’re being too fake, aren’t you?”

Shen Jing looked at Song Lianxin with a half-smile, “You’re just wailing here, but I don’t see any tears! It seems your sincerity isn't enough!”

“I…”

Song Lianxin choked slightly and quickly cast a pleading glance at Zhao Jianzhi and his wife.

“Quickly kneel down and apologize to Young Master Shen!”

Zhao Jianzhi glared at Song Lianxin.

What?

She had to kneel before Shen Jing?

Song Lianxin’s face twitched violently, a thousand unwilling thoughts in her heart.

Even now, she still believed Shen Jing was a foolish good-for-nothing.

It was just that this good-for-nothing had better luck, inexplicably climbing onto the Su Family, a big tree.

How could she, Song Lianxin, kneel before this good-for-nothing?

However, thinking of the arrested Zhao Ying, and then the impending disaster for the Song Family, Song Lianxin finally put aside her arrogance and knelt on the ground with a desolate expression.

“Shen Jing, I was wrong. Please, I beg you to plead for us before Madam Su and spare us…”

As Song Lianxin spoke, tears streamed down her face.

This time, she was truly crying.

But it wasn't from realizing her mistake, only from humiliation.

She never dreamed that one day she would kneel before Shen Jing, begging for mercy.

How ironic this was!

Sure enough, she was still afraid her cheap mother-in-law would take revenge on them for him!

Shen Jing secretly curled his lips.

“Young Master Shen, look, Lianxin has even knelt for you. Please be magnanimous and let them go!”

Zhao Jianzhi forced a smile and personally held out the gift, “I’ve been busy with various matters these past years and neglected Zhao Ying’s upbringing. If he has offended Young Master Shen, please, Young Master Shen, overlook his transgressions…”

Madam Zhao also tearfully pleaded, “Young Master Shen, please spare Zhao Ying! He knows he was wrong! This concubine… this concubine will kneel to you…”

As she spoke, Madam Zhao also knelt down.

“Do you take me for a three-year-old?”

Shen Jing was almost amused by these disgusting people, “That Sunzi Zhao Ying knows he was wrong? If he knows he was wrong, why isn’t he here? If he wants to kneel, let him come and kneel himself! I’m just a petty person who has achieved his ambitions; I just love to see that pair of scoundrels kneeling neatly!”

He didn't even need to think; these people were definitely cursing him in their hearts, calling him a petty person who had achieved his ambitions, calling him lucky.

But what of it?

Who told him he could rely on his strength to live off a woman?

Listening to Shen Jing’s words, a hint of anger quietly flashed across their faces.

This despicable, shameless scoundrel!

Zhao Ying had already been arrested by the rescuers his mother-in-law brought!

And he was still pretending to be confused here!

This was clearly making sarcastic remarks!

He was deliberately making things difficult for them!

However, no matter how angry they were in their hearts, they dared not show it now.

Zhao Jianzhi took a deep breath and smiled again: “Young Master Shen, Zhao Ying has already been taken away by people sent by the Emperor, so please don’t make things difficult for us!”

Oh?

Zhao Ying… was taken away by people sent by the Emperor?

Nonsense!

Did Zhao Ying have that much influence?

Taken away by people sent by the Emperor?

“I told you, you guys are useless. If Zhao Ying doesn’t want to come, you can’t even make up an excuse for him.”

Shen Jing looked at them mockingly, “If I were you, I’d say Zhao Ying was gravely ill from remorse and couldn’t make it!”

“Young Master Shen, please don’t tease us.”

Zhao Jianzhi suppressed his anger, “I know this scoundrel has offended Young Master Shen many times. As long as Young Master Shen is magnanimous, I will definitely make this scoundrel kneel before Young Master Shen to apologize…”

Still pretending?

They couldn't even make up a story!

He wanted to publish a book of story examples to teach them how to make up stories.

“Shen Jing, please let us go!”

Seeing Shen Jing unmoved, Song Lianxin couldn’t help but wail. With a determined heart, she suddenly slammed her head against the ground: “I was wrong, I’m kowtowing to you…”

Thump, thump…

Song Lianxin, her eyes blurred with tears, continuously kowtowed on the blue bricks in front of the door.

Shen Jing watched, secretly puzzled.

My goodness!

This… what’s going on?

Looking at them, it didn't seem like they were faking it!

Could Zhao Ying really have been taken away?

There’s no reason!

If the Emperor had intervened, it could only be because his mother-in-law had written to the Emperor!

But she was planning to let him use the Song Family for practice, so she shouldn't have intervened, right?

Or, did he think he couldn't handle Zhao Ying, this second-generation official, so he dealt with Zhao Ying for him in advance?

No, that’s not right either!

When she came out just now, didn't she ask him what he had done?

She wouldn't need to pretend to be confused in front of him, would she?

Something’s not right!

This matter definitely has nothing to do with Madam Su!

But the key is, he hasn't even started acting yet!

How could Zhao Ying have been arrested by people sent by the Emperor?

Hmm?

As he thought, Shen Jing’s heart suddenly stirred.

Damn it!

Could it be that woman who sent people to do it?

That woman specifically asked for his name before leaving, clearly intending to take revenge!

He impersonated Zhao Ying, and then Zhao Ying was arrested right after?

Was that girl from the imperial palace?

Could she be a princess or one of the Emperor’s concubines?

Shen Jing was panicking inside, but his face remained impassive, “I really don’t know about Zhao Ying being taken away! You tell me, how was Zhao Ying taken away?”

Don’t know?

Zhao Jianzhi didn't believe Shen Jing’s words at all.

But since Shen Jing asked, he could only answer honestly.

When he learned that five people with imperial golden plaques had gone to the Zhao Family to arrest someone, Shen Jing almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

It was most likely related to that girl!

When Zhao Ying was brought before that girl, wouldn't his cover be blown?

“Keep kneeling properly; I’ll go ask my mother-in-law!”

Shen Jing threw out a sentence and quickly ran back inside the door…
