After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 403: Duke Shen's Hesitation and Confusion

Cheng Wenhui was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This old villain was too much. He killed people and even destroyed their hearts!

How dare he fight? If he really fought, he would get beaten. This old man did it on purpose.

Duke Shen spat at him, like a shrew, without any martial ethics at all. Cheng Wenhui was so angry that he wanted to fight him to the death, but he just walked away leisurely with his men.

It's even a bit regrettable. This bastard is too tolerant. Otherwise, he could take this opportunity to search the Cheng family thoroughly. The last time his daughter was kidnapped, it must have been related to the Cheng family, but no evidence was found.

Master Ning Wu is in despair. If they are taken back by Duke Shen, do they still have a chance to survive?

Also, when did they become slaves? They were just bodyguards at the beginning. This Duke Shen is so sinister. He must have changed the registration book on purpose. He is simply not a human being.

Duke Shen did not bring the man back to the Princess's Mansion, but took him to the Imperial City Division. For some reason, he felt that his sworn brother could interrogate the man clearly, so he was the most suitable person to do so.

Shen Nanzhi happened to be in the Imperial City Division. After finishing his official business, he saw a group of them coming in. He was a little confused. What was going on?

Duke Shen grabbed the teapot and drank a bellyful of tea, then sat down with his sword in his hand, "Put these bastards in the imperial prison, and give them a full set of eighteen kinds of torture, just leave them with a breath."

"Okay, come here, listen to the Duke and serve well."

Master Ning Wu knelt down and said, "Duke, I am innocent. I am just following the orders of the princess. I want to see the princess. I have something to say to her."

Duke Shen kicked the man away, "Do you still want to deceive the princess? How can you beg for mercy when you are such a treacherous person?"

Shen Nanzhi said: "The Duke is right. You just think that the princess is a woman, soft-hearted and easy to talk to, right? Or do you have something on the princess that you want to threaten her with? You still dare to be clever now, it really shows off you.

If you want to suffer less, just explain yourself and stop talking nonsense."

Master Ning Wu had completely given up. They were not as easy to fool as the princess. Each one was more shrewd than the other.

"What happened to that illegitimate daughter? How did she die? Tell me the truth and I'll kill you. Otherwise, your entire clan will fall into my hands. It's a bit cruel to exterminate all nine clans, but I can still send them all to exile."

Shen Nanzhi was impressed. He found all nine clans of the man. He was really ruthless.

Being able to be the Duke for so many years, he is definitely not an incompetent person.

Master Ning Wu no longer had any hope of luck. Duke Shen had killed countless people, and he was really capable of doing anything. He quickly confessed, "She is not dead. Your daughter is not dead. It was a substitute who died."

Shen Nanzhi glanced at his father. There was no ecstasy on his face. He said calmly, "Go on, brother. Find a clerk to write down my confession. I need you to help me investigate this matter. I have lived for so many years and I am already an old man. Suddenly, an illegitimate daughter appeared. This is really outrageous!"

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Okay."

Master Ning Wu told him everything, even saying that Shen Nanzhi was the regent's consort. Duke Shen felt like he was dreaming: "You said that the little woman of the regent is my illegitimate daughter? Don't lie to me."

Shen Nanzhi was unhappy: "How can I be called a little woman? Lord Shen, the Regent will be unhappy if he hears this."

"He's not happy, and I'm not happy either. Did he know this a long time ago? Is he deliberately making fun of me?"

"Well, it's necessary. It's rare to find someone as stupid as you."

"you……"

Duke Shen was so angry that he whipped them to vent his anger. He finally calmed down and said, "Lock them up. This matter is not over yet."

"My Lord, you can kill me, but can you let my people go?"

Duke Shen remained silent, wanting them to suffer. Thinking about the suffering that girl had endured, Duke Shen couldn't help but feel angry.

Shen Nanzhi poured him a cup of tea: "Calm down, it's useless to be angry now. What are you going to do?"

She was very curious about how this cheap father would treat her.

Duke Shen was silent. He really didn't know how to face his daughter.

Shen Nanzhi's mouth curled up, and her smile became a little cold. "The princess thought she was dead. How about this? You pretend you know nothing and just think that your daughter is dead. There is no threat to your family. I will keep this a secret for you. You continue to live your life. The Regent Princess doesn't need another father or more enemies who want to kill her. What do you think?"

These words were full of temptation, and Duke Shen almost nodded. Fortunately, he was not really an irresponsible man. He shook his head and said, "No, I can't be so irresponsible, but is this child sure to be my daughter? How come I don't know? Who is her mother?"

Shen Nanzhi: "You have to ask yourself. Lord Shen, you were quite amorous when you were young. How can you not remember this?"

Duke Shen died unjustly: "No, I am not such a casual person. My father had bad personal ethics back then, and the mansion was in chaos. There were a lot of illegitimate children and concubines, who killed each other all day long. It was a mess.

I have seen a lot of this kind of thing since I was a child, and when I grew up I would rather go to the border to fight than stay at home.

Oh my goodness, when I come back, all those children will be dead, and my father will be so angry that he will die. I will directly succeed him as the Duke. I don’t know whether I should be sad or happy. "

Shen Nanzhi didn't expect this to happen. His stepfather was also a bit lucky. A fool has good luck.

"So you mean the child isn't yours?"

"Not at all."

Duke Shen thought carefully about Shen Nanzhi's face, and his heart sank: "I thought of it, she, she looks like that person..."

"Who is it?"

"Princess Han, I sent her to marry the prince. She was very strong, but also very... pitiful..."

Duke Shen didn't want to say anything. No one is heartless. Princess Han's situation at that time was really pitiful. She was a little lonely and had to force herself to be strong. He couldn't help but feel distressed and always hoped to do something to help her.

Later, the princess wanted to learn martial arts to strengthen her body, so Duke Shen personally taught her self-defense. They had a very happy time along the way. If possible, they really wanted to stay on the road for the rest of their lives.

Shen Nanzhi drank tea without disturbing Duke Shen's memories. Men always think they are heroes and fantasize about saving the world. But when they grow up, they find that they can't even save themselves and are slowly assimilated by the world.

"Duke Shen, go back and think about it carefully. To be honest, the reason why Princess Dajin came here this time is also for the Regent Princess. You should know why."

"What? What does the Korean princess mean? What does she want to do?"
