Shen Ziyu walked lightly out from behind the two of them. After connecting Shen Jiahao's thigh and chin joints in the courtyard, she entered the book again. Shen Jiahao had been dislocated for a long time, so he limped in, shaking like chaff. Shen Ziyu explained the details of the poisoning and assassination to Third Uncle.

Shen Luzheng glanced at Shen Jiahao with a blank expression and saw that he looked pale and worried. He snorted, "Jiahao, you can defend yourself."

Shen Jiahao was momentarily short of breath and panicked, saying, "Although I am not a person with excellent moral and academic qualities, I will not kill my cousin in my own home. In order to take over the management power of the Shen family's business, my cousin directed two murders with the purpose of framing me. I asked my father and uncle to seriously investigate this matter."

Shen Ziyu laughed off and said, "In the case of poisoning in wine, the participant Wang Zeyuan was imprisoned by you in the basement of your study. He has been found by my friend and admitted this matter. The assassins who assassinated me came from the Fire Dragon Cult and escaped two. Although the rest were all dead, the villa's bodyguard and housekeeper Uncle Shui can prove that these people were brought into the villa eight days ago under your pretext of finding gardeners."

Shen Jiahao was in a cold sweat and gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "False! False. What you said is false! I don't even know these killers. You bought the butler and bodyguard and framed me together."

Shen Luzheng ordered that the butler and bodyguard and Wang Zeyuan be called in, carefully interrogate them, and examine various physical evidence. Finally, with a long sigh, he turned to Shen Luxiang and said, "Brother, my son is vicious, cunning, and of low moral character. For his selfish ideas, he colluded with the outlaws of the Fire Dragon Cult and poisoned and assassinated Ziyu. This incident has disturbed Ziyu's grandfather and the entire family! He is truly worthy of his death! I have failed to educate my child! I am truly ashamed! Please punish Shen Jiahao severely, eldest brother!"

Shen Luxiang's face darkened and pointed at Shen Jiahao, saying, "Nephew, your father and I are brothers and close to each other. Our two families are also the closest family members. You and Ziyu are brothers and sisters. If there is any misunderstanding between you, just tell me, and I will severely criticize Ziyu. Why do you want the outlaws of the cult to kill my daughter? I don't understand, please tell me!"

Shen Jiahao also wanted to defend himself, but there were both personal and material evidence of the two murders. He thinks what he does is seamless, but there are loopholes everywhere.He could only bow his head and remain silent.

Shen Luzheng trembled with anger, Pointing at Shen Jiahao and scolding him, "You were naughty from an early age, fighting, drinking, and smoking in school. I was busy in the military and government, and I didn't have time to strictly educate you. Your mother only pampered you, which led to your lack of talent and moral integrity. You colluded with outsiders and murdered your family in front of many bodyguards, butlers, and servants in your own home. Only you, a fool, can do such foolish things!"

Shen Ziyu thought that her third uncle had always been kind to her. This time, due to the conflict between Shen Jiahao and herself, he put down his busy schedule and rushed home from Beijing. She was worried that his anger might cause his heart attack, so she quickly stood up and pulled Shen Luzheng's hand in a low voice, saying, "The cause and effect of this matter have been clear. Shen Jiahao saw that the elders in his family valued me so much that he even wanted to kill me under resentment. I have no resentment against him in my heart. Please take care of your health and don't be angry.”

Shen Luzheng was even more furious when he heard Shen Ziyu's words and said,“”'It's ridiculous! The third generation of our family has only your brothers and sisters, but Shen Jiahao wants to kill Ziyu. This kind of behavior is worse than even animals!”

Shen Luxiang understood that no matter how heinous Shen Jiahao's crimes were, Shen Luzheng would not have him sent to justice. After all, Shen Jiahao is his son. What's more, Shen Luzheng has been cursing Shen Jiahao, but he hasn't said anything to further punish him. He hasn't even slapped his face. What he meant was clearly that the family's disgrace should not be publicized, and it should be dealt with within the family. Shen Luzheng's anger at this moment is actually just a gesture, and he expects Shen Luxiang to understand his meaning.

Of course, Shen Luxiang understood what he meant. After learning about the incident, he asserted that Shen Luzheng would personally come to handle it. Shen Luxiang is the eldest son of the family. Shen Ziyu has been ignored by the elders of the family from childhood to adulthood because she is a female rather than a male. After Shen Ziyu's ability to excel through hard work and excellent martial arts skills, the elders of the family began to attach importance to her. Shen Luxiang decided to use this incident to help his daughter become a successor to the family industry. When he saw Shen Luzheng so angry, he knew that Shen Luzheng was acting for him, So he said, "Third Brother, don't be angry! Although this matter is a crime committed by Shen Jiahao alone, the reason for it is the successor of our Shen family's family industry. If we hand over Shen Jiahao to the Wuhan Investigation and Enforcement Department and conduct a judicial trial, his grandfather will inevitably lose face, and our family industry and your political career will be harmed."

Upon hearing his words, Shen Luzheng stopped being angry and scolding Shen Jiahao. He pondered, "Your words are very reasonable! It's just that Shen Jiahao committed such a crime. If he is not sent to court for trial, how can I face Ziyu and you?"

Shen Luxiang nodded repeatedly. According to his thoughts, he was eager to use this matter to send Shen Jiahao to prison and completely remove a roadblock for Shen Ziyu. But as the old saying goes, tigers, although ferocious, will not eat their own children.It is impossible for Shen Luzheng to send his son to the execution ground.

Shen Luxiang saw Shen Ziyu standing aside to listen, but without speaking, he touched her and said, “”My child, you have been murdered twice by your cousin. At this moment, your heart is like boiling in boiling water, and it's extremely painful. I understand. But your grandfather is old, and your third uncle is even more appreciative and supportive of you. You can't let your grandfather lose his grandson, and your third uncle lose his son, can you?”

Shen Ziyu didn't say a word because she originally wanted to leave this troublesome matter to her father. Since he had asked herself, she had to whisper, "Grandpa and Uncle are very kind to me, but I haven't repaid them. Dad and Uncle, you decide on this matter, I have no opinion."

Shen Luzheng's eyes lit up and his heart said that his niece was so reasonable, which was exactly what he wanted, "Ziyu, now your grandfather is in poor condition and intends to return to his hometown in Wuhan to rest. Before I came to Wuhan, your grandfather meant to leave Shen Jiahao in Wuhan and keep him from leaving Wuhan for half a step for life. Shen Jiahao cannot leave Shen Family Villa within five years. As for the cult murderers involved in the assassination, I will put pressure on the Wuhan Municipal Government to send military police to arrest and hand over to judicial trial..."

He just said this, Shen Luxiang interrupted him: "It would be great if my father returned to Wuhan to recuperate and personally supervise Shen Jiahao. It's just that the reason for this matter is the family succession dispute. You and I are in our late 60s, and Ziyu's second uncle is not too young. Ziyu has been helping her second uncle manage the family business, and the talent she has shown and the benefits that the family industry has achieved in recent years are obvious to everyone. Why don't we establish her as her second uncle's successor here?"

Shen Luzheng already knew that this matter could not be avoided, He had to say: "Although Ziyu is a woman, her abilities are even stronger than men. No one in the upper class of Beijing mentions Shen Ziyu without praise and admiration. However, Ziyu is a woman after all. If she takes over the family industry, she will get married in the future, and her children will use her husband's surname. Our billions of wealth in the Shen family will be inherited by her children in the future, and these wealth will become the property of others, not the Shen family. This is something we must consider.I have received a lot of financial support from my family in the political arena. I think it's important to seriously consider the third generation successor of the Shen family!"

Shen Luxiang smiled and said, "This problem is easy to solve. Ziyu has already had a sweetheart. In the future, when they get married, I will ask my son-in-law to come into our Shen family. Their children, both boys and girls, are surnamed Shen, which is foolproof."

Shen Luzheng said, "I always treat Ziyu as my daughter. If her marriage is handled as you say, I agree that Ziyu will take charge of the Shen family's business."
