Chapter 304 It's like a demon lives inside my daughter's body

Bi Yatong was so frightened by Old Master Shen's words that she lost her voice.

But what terrified her even more was what Old Master Shen said next.

"Or, the remaining three of you might also like to go in and be interrogated. Your husband went into Qingyan's study, a place where no one is allowed to enter."

"If military secrets are leaked, one death is not enough."

"Qingrong is already in there, and they can't get anything out of him. Next up is you, his bedmate..."

Old Master Shen hadn't finished speaking.

With a "smack," Bi Yatong, who was already stunned by his words, slid to her knees on the ground.

"Now you admit to stealing the letter?" Looking at Bi Yatong, who was sliding to the ground, Old Master Shen's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp.

"Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen, we, we... no, I don't know, I really don't know, it was Qingrong, Qingrong told me not to say it, Uncle Shen, please save us!" Bi Yatong was so frightened that she became incoherent.

"And how did you know there was that letter in the study?" Old Master Shen narrowed his eyes and asked Bi Yatong, whose face was deathly pale.

Shen Qingyan said that he had been reborn, so he knew that Shen Qingrong had taken the letter from his study.

Mr. Shen now believes this.

But what about Shen Qingrong?

Did I also get a second chance at life?

How did Shen Qingrong know that there was such a letter on his son Shen Qingyan's desk?

Even if Shen Qingrong had people in the manor who tipped him off, Shen Qingrong had come specifically for this letter.

Or was it for some other purpose, such as stealing military secrets and framing his son Shen Qingyan? And he just happened to see this letter?

Regardless of which one it is, Old Master Shen must figure it out.

Bi Yatong was on the verge of tears, shaking her head repeatedly.

She genuinely didn't know that.

Even before Shen Qingyan found their house, she didn't know the letter existed, let alone how Shen Qingrong knew there was a letter in Shen Qingyan's study.

Bi Yatong looked flustered, and her eyes were filled with fear, but she did not flinch or hide anything.

Grandpa Shen could tell that she wasn't lying.

She didn't know much about this matter.

Grandpa Shen's gaze fell on the two little girls who were frightened like quails because of Bi Yatong's actions.

Shen Li's face was even paler than Bi Yatong's. She knelt behind Bi Yatong, trembling.

Shen Lu's expression was also not good, but in the instant that Old Master Shen's gaze swept over her, he clearly saw that she subconsciously avoided his gaze.

Then she lowered her head again, trying to appear calm, but her small hands, resting on her knees, were tightly gripping the fabric on her knees.

Old Master Shen narrowed his eyes.

His tone softened again, as if he couldn't bear to be so cold towards them, and he asked softly, "And you? Do you know why your father knew there was such a letter in the study?"

Shen Li shook her head repeatedly, her voice choked with sobs, as if she wanted to shake her head off: "I...I really don't know, sob, Grandpa Shen, please don't arrest me, I really don't know, I don't want to go to jail..."

While Shen Li was answering, Shen Lu lowered her head, her hands gripping her trouser leg tightly until her fingernails turned white.

Her voice was broken and trembling: "I...I don't know...Grandpa Shen."

"Is that so?" Old Master Shen's voice was light and airy, revealing no emotion. "Then it seems that, apart from your father, you are all innocent."

Bi Yatong and Shen Li were terrified at this moment.

She just kept agreeing with Old Master Shen, but she didn't even know what she was doing.

Only Shen Lu, her lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and then as if she had made up her mind, she raised her head again, looked directly at Old Master Shen, her eyes filled with tears, yet she had a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

He said to Grandpa Shen, "Grandpa Shen, I think my father did something very wrong. Uncle Shen is right to be angry. No matter what Uncle Shen does, I will support Uncle Shen's decision."

"Even if it means being shot?" Old Master Shen asked.

"Yes!" Shen Lu replied.

"Lu'er!" Bi Yatong, realizing what they were talking about, screamed in disbelief.

“Mom, Dad really did make a mistake. Our teacher said that even the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners. No matter who it is, if they make a mistake, they should be punished. This is a matter of course. We shouldn’t be making things difficult for Grandpa Chen.”

Shen Lu said the last sentence while looking at Old Master Shen.

Grandpa Shen looked at her again.

It was that scrutinizing look again.

Shen Lu stared at Shen Laiye's scrutinizing gaze, and her heart began to tremble.

Seeing that she was about to give up and wanted to get away, Old Master Shen's gaze softened slightly.

"Good boy," he praised.

Ten minutes later, the good girl Shen Lu left with Bi Yatong, whose legs were still a little weak.

Where Grandpa Shen couldn't see, he received a hard slap from Bi Yatong.

Bi Yatong parked the car on the side of the road, got out, and without saying a word, slapped Shen Lu in the back seat.

Pointing at her, she cried and shouted, "Chen Lu, are you crazy? That's your father! How dare you, how dare you..."

Having been slapped, Chen Lu covered her cheek and looked at the angry woman in front of her, her eyes full of mockery: "Mom, can't you see it?"

"What?" Bi Yatong was stunned by her daughter's expression.

She felt that the daughter in front of her was a complete stranger, as if a demon lived inside her.

"Dad is beyond saving. In the whole of Kyoto, who dares to protect him? Dad went into Uncle Shen's study, which is a military secret, a secret place that could cost the whole family their heads!"

"Just like Grandpa Shen said, if Dad keeps his mouth shut, but they have evidence that Dad did enter Uncle Shen's study, then our whole family will have to go in! Not just you, I'm afraid my sister and I won't be able to escape either."

Shen Li was already terrified by the recent turn of events.

Hearing Shen Lu's words, she was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Waaah, I don't want to be arrested, Mommy, Mommy, I don't want to be arrested!"

She threw herself into Bi Yatong's arms, tugging at her sleeves.

"I...I..." Bi Yatong was pulled erratically by Shen Li, and finally lost her balance and sat down on the ground, looking at Shen Lu blankly.

Her mind was blank.

She didn't understand. It was just a letter, how could it have suddenly turned into this?

What military secret?

Isn't that just a letter?

How did it become a military secret that could affect the whole family?!
