This included how Shen Miao bribed him, how he stole the sachet from Princess Heyuan when she was off - guard, and how, while pretending to catch the thief, Shen Miao pushed Shen Li out of the crowd from behind. Then he would kill Shen Li. Even if he couldn't kill her, the poison on the knife would take her life.
Moreover, the poison was given to him by Shen Miao.
Shen Miao tried her best to suppress her anger. On her face, she showed an expression of disbelief and shed tears.
As soon as Wang Ze finished speaking, she shook her head. Looking at Shen Li with an extremely aggrieved expression, she said, "Sister! I never thought... you would frame me like this!"
Even when a beauty cries, she is still charming. Seeing her so aggrieved, Xiao Hanzhi, who was present, would have rushed up to hug and comfort her if he hadn't been concerned about the large number of people.
"Sister, I know you're blaming me for not rushing to save you last time, which made you get hurt. But at that time, there were too many people. I was scattered by the crowd and couldn't save you in time!"
Then, she touched her face with an injured look. "Moreover, sister, you slapped me twice that day! I thought you were already relieved. Why... why are you still blaming me now?"
When everyone looked closely at Shen Miao's face, they really found red marks.
Shen Junming stood up from his seat in shock. "What? Miao'er, your face? Shen Li slapped you!"
Then he turned to scold Shen Li. "Shen Li, you're going too far! This wasn't her fault. Miao'er is your younger sister. How could you hit her?"
"You're really extremely rude! Your elder brother and sister - in - law didn't teach you well! You've shamed our Shen family!"
No matter how much Shen Junming scolded Shen Li, she could endure it. But when she heard Shen Junming mention her parents, her face immediately turned cold.
"Uncle, don't you remember? The reason my parents can't teach me by my side is that they're serving the emperor! Did you forget how you got all this, Uncle?
Shen Li looked at Shen Junming and said word by word, "All this was earned by my parents for you! Without my parents, could you have gotten this official position and wealth on your own?"
"Presumptuous!" Shen Junming angrily smashed his teacup. "Who allowed you to talk to your elders like this! You have no manners! I kindly took you in because I thought you had no one to teach you since childhood."
"As a result, I've raised a white - eyed wolf like you! Fine! Fine! You're really something! Come here!"
Then, a group of servants rushed in after hearing the order.
"Throw this disrespectful thing out! Throw out her belongings. Our Shen Mansion is too small to accommodate such a great Buddha. Let her go back where she came from!"
A group of servants answered yes without any hesitation and approached Shen Li.
Hanyue stood in front of Shen Li, staring at them warily.
"How dare you! Our eldest miss is the legitimate eldest miss of the Shen Mansion! Our master is highly regarded by the emperor. If you dare to touch a single hair on the miss, we'll sell you off when our master comes back!"
Jiaoyue guarded beside Shen Li and loudly scolded these people.
The seven or eight servants looked at each other. For a moment, they hesitated and didn't step forward.
Shen Junming was so angry that he was about to jump. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Miao said first, "Sister, it's all my fault! Please don't contradict father anymore! Quickly apologize to him and say some nice words. Father will surely forgive you!"
Shen Junming flicked his sleeve and sat down on his seat, snorting to show his dissatisfaction.
"Apologize? What's my fault? Disrespecting my elders? I can only respect elders who deserve respect! I'd like to ask Uncle, is there anything about you that deserves my respect?"
"As soon as I came, Uncle didn't ask about the ins and outs of the matter, didn't care about my injury, but asked me to apologize to Princess Heyuan. Is such an uncle worthy of respect?"
"You! You've gone too far! You've gone too far!"
Shen Junming was so angry that his chest heaved. He almost fainted.
Shen Miao "worriedly" grabbed Shen Li's arm and frowned to persuade her. "Sister! Don't anger father! His health has been poor these years! Besides, where will you live if you leave the Shen Mansion? The Night Guard Department is not suitable for a girl like you!"
Shen Li felt disgusted when she saw Shen Miao's face. She shook off her hand and slightly raised the corner of her mouth. "Leave? Who said I'm leaving? This Shen Mansion is my home. Why should I leave?"
"Sister, this will always be your home. But now you've angered father. It's better for you to live outside for a while! Come back after father calms down in a few days!"
"Humph! I think you may have all got it wrong! This Shen Mansion doesn't belong to you, Shen Junming! It's the ancestral mansion of the Shen family, which has always been passed down to the legitimate eldest son. Uncle is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son. How did you become the one in charge?"
Ignoring Shen Junming's ugly face, Shen Li continued, "Moreover, the deed of this Shen Mansion still bears my father's name! It's my father's mansion!"
After saying that, Shen Li took out a piece of paper and showed it to everyone.
Shen Miao almost tore the handkerchief in her hand to pieces. She never expected that Shen Li would have the deed of the Shen Mansion. Now, they were at a disadvantage.
Shen Miao quickly spoke up. "Sister, we're all family. Why should we distinguish so clearly between yours and mine? This will always be your home!"
"Oh, sister, you're wrong. As the saying goes, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. We should make it clear whose things they are."
"Moreover, today's matter concerns who should leave and who should stay!"
Shen Miao was extremely angry. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face.
Hearing this, Shen Junming was furious. "What? Do you still want to drive me away!"
Shen Li ignored his words and just looked at Xiao Hanzhi and the others who were sitting in the hall awkwardly.
"Today, since the three princes, Princess Heyuan and the heir of Prince Li are all here! I'd like to ask you all to be witnesses!"
The several people sat in their seats with embarrassed expressions. Originally, they should have left when Shen Junming was about to drive Shen Li away. After all, this was a family matter, and it was really inappropriate for them, as outsiders, to be present.
But they also thought that the matter of Wang Ze hadn't been resolved yet, and they were reluctant to leave immediately. While they were hesitating, unexpectedly, Shen Li and Shen Junming had started arguing.
The two of them went back and forth, one sentence after another. The atmosphere was tense, and they couldn't find a chance to speak. Moreover, they missed the best opportunity to speak, so they had been sitting there until now!
Now, hearing that the situation had taken such a turn and that Shen Li kept saying that she wanted them to be witnesses, they were very nervous. The Fourth Prince and the others didn't know how to speak for a moment.
It was Xuan Yuanjue, who had been silent all this time, who first said, "I wonder what Miss Shen wants us for? And what kind of witness do you want us to be?"
