Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 29 The Truth
Aunt Zhao secretly complained in her heart.

She was just doing the job for money, who would have thought that she would get involved in the power struggle among the big families.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so obsessed with money, so that I wouldn't have lost my life.

"Mrs. Shen, I admit that what I did was immoral, but I really didn't have any bad intentions."

"I don't have any means of making a living. Someone tempted me with money, and I couldn't resist the temptation for a moment."

"As for where the little girl came from, I don't know either."

She was scared too, okay? She cried on the street for three whole days, holding a dead person. Is it easy to make some money?

"Okay!" Without giving Mrs. Shen a chance to speak, Shen Yingfeng spoke first, "Obviously, someone dislikes the Shen family and blames me for being indiscriminate. I subconsciously assumed that my sister-in-law's poor supervision led to the problems in the shop."

"I hope my sister-in-law won't blame me."

Shen Yingfeng gritted his teeth and tried to shirk responsibility, determined not to give up until he reached the Yellow River.

"Really?" Madam Shen glanced at Shen Yingfeng with a half-smile, "Yingfeng really doesn't know her?"

"really."

Shen Yingfeng didn't know what Mrs. Shen was planning, but under the eagle-like sharp eyes of Patriarch Shen, he still nodded firmly to deny it.

A faint sense of regret arose in his heart, perhaps he shouldn't have chosen such a clumsy method.

Shen Yingfeng really didn't expect that Mrs. Shen would actually invite the clan leader over.

Unfortunately, things have developed to this point and Shen Yingfeng can no longer regret it.

"Aunt Zhao, do you remember who gave you the money and asked you to go to the dim sum shop and hug the little girl and cry." Shen Fuyu said everything that Mrs. Shen was reluctant to say.

Shen Yingfeng glared at Shen Fuyu fiercely, and the favorability indicator on his head turned red. He threatened Shen Fuyu without any expression. But who was Shen Fuyu? How could he be scared away by Shen Yingfeng's eyes?

"It's him."

Aunt Zhao glanced around and finally pointed at the servant behind Shen Yingfeng.

Perhaps Shen Yingfeng underestimated the enemy, so he just sent a servant to look for someone.

This was what gave Shen Fuyu a breakthrough.

"Impossible!" Shen Yingfeng's eyelids twitched, and he denied it without saying a word, his smile extremely forced. "Sister-in-law, don't be deceived by those with ulterior motives. The Shen family prospers and suffers together. How could I do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding."

"Everyone sees how I treat my sister-in-law. How could I harm her?"

Patriarch Shen looked thoughtful and felt that Shen Yingfeng's words were somewhat credible.

Yes.

Ever since the head of the Shen family disappeared, Mrs. Shen was isolated and helpless in the face of numerous jackals, tigers and leopards. It was Shen Yingfeng who spoke well of her.

Protecting her from time to time.

Mrs. Shen noticed the subtle change in Patriarch Shen's expression, and her heart sank. The so-called protection was just Shen Yingfeng's initial attempt to gain Mrs. Shen's trust by subtle means.

Later, when he realized that Mrs. Shen was not moved by his persuasion, he became furious and revealed his wolfish ambitions.

Shen Fuyu rolled his eyes and said cunningly, "Aunt Zhao didn't say it was Young Master Yingfeng who bribed him."

"There are so many servants who betray their masters. Who knows if he made the decision on his own, or if he accepted bribes?"

"Master Yingfeng is so busy that he's bound to be careless."

Both Shen Fuyu and Mrs. Shen knew that this evidence alone was not enough to bring down Shen Yingfeng.

But it's okay.

Shen Fuyu and Mrs. Shen's goal was not to bring down Shen Yingfeng.

It was the attention of Patriarch Shen.

With the head of the Shen family missing, the clan leader is the most important person. Madam Shen needs the clan leader's protection.

More importantly, suspicion accumulates bit by bit. It is only necessary to plant a small seed in the heart of the head of the Shen family through this incident. When what Shen Yingfeng did is exposed in the future, the head of the Shen family will easily believe Madam Shen, instead of Madam Shen taking the initiative to seduce as the world thinks.

Patriarch Shen raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu smiled back, looking very innocent.

"Tell me, what happened?" Shen Yingfeng kicked the servant.

In the blind spot of everyone's vision, Shen Yingfeng gave a warning look.

The servant's heart instantly sank. Even though he had already prepared himself to take the blame for his master, he still couldn't help feeling chilled when he saw Shen Yingfeng get away with it so easily. He couldn't control his feelings and felt a little dissatisfied, but when he thought of his wife and children who were working beside Shen Yingfeng, he could only endure it silently.

He closed his eyes and said, "Master, Master, I am sorry for you. I was blinded by money."

"I did this because I accepted favors from others. Master, I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance and let me continue to stay by your side and serve you."

"You..." Shen Yingfeng pointed at him with trembling fingers, looking heartbroken. "You've been by my side for so many years, when have I ever treated you unfairly?"

"Who bribed you? Tell me the truth, and I can give you a good ending."

The servant glanced at Madam Shen out of the corner of his eye.

He originally wanted to slander Mrs. Shen, but then he changed his mind and thought, if Mrs. Shen still had evidence in her hands, he would be the one who would be in trouble.

"It's the shop opposite."

Xiao Si made a random slander, saying that the shop opposite had always been against them.

Mrs. Shen showed a sarcastic curve at the corner of her lips, but didn't say anything more.

Now is not the best time to expose Shen Yingfeng.

"The snack shop incident has come to an end. There's a traitor in the rouge shop who actually put something else in the rouge."

"Bringing Madam Jiang and her daughter here as victims, the Shen family must give them some compensation."

Mrs. Shen made all the arrangements properly, and even Team Leader Shen couldn't find any mistakes.

"Come here, bring the owner of the rouge shop here."

There seemed to be a layer of frost in Mrs. Shen's eyes.

Thanks to Shen Fuyu's reminder, Mrs. Shen realized that the owner of the rouge shop had already been bribed by Shen Yingfeng, and even made false accounts, giving most of the profits to Shen Yingfeng.

You have to know that whether in ancient times or modern times, women's money is always the easiest to make.

The rouge shop's monthly profits were extremely high. Shen Yingfeng had bribed the shop owner for two years. A careful calculation would indicate that he had embezzled approximately 30,000 taels of silver.

No wonder.

Shen Yingfeng is uneducated and spends his days teasing cats and dogs and visiting brothels, yet he still lives such a carefree and unrestrained life. Mrs. Shen always thought that it was Shen Yingfeng's parents who subsidized him.

Who would have thought that if he took her money, sooner or later Shen Yingfeng would have to return it all.

Mrs. Shen has been paying attention to Shen Yingfeng.

The moment the owner of the rouge shop appeared, Shen Yingfeng's face changed instantly.

"This lady has raised a traitor who takes advantage of me and betrays me."

"I brought you here to show the servants in this mansion that betraying your master will not end well. I treat you with kindness and never scold you casually. I hope you will treat me with sincerity and not take advantage of my kindness to do evil."

Madam Shen's aura instantly became fierce, "Shen Yi, send him to the authorities and deal with him according to the law."

Suddenly, the servants fell silent.
