Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 606 Don’t stretch it too long .

　　When the guests heard his shameless words they all thought that he was barking mad. Was he really in the right state of his mind to say something like that? Did he not hear what the Shen family's second master said? He was charged with murder yet he still wanted to drag the Shen family with him? 

　　Someone rightly said that those who are cornered would do anything to save their lives. 

　　Shen Zizhen snickered nastily. " I knew you would try to pull something like this, which is why I would like to tell you that I wasn't the one who stole these documents——"

　　" Then your men——"

　　" They weren't the one either." Shen Zizhen calmly shot back causing Old master Ji's entire body to quiver with anger. " You lie, it must have been you, those letters no matter what the content was, had the seal of the Ji family, how come they came into your hands if you didn't steal them then how did they end up in your hands?"

　　Ji Shan who have almost lost all her life from her eyes looked up in surprise, she didn't know that her grandfather was so smart! Even if they were being dragged to the Yamen they have to drag Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi with them!

　　" I was the one who did it," a soft voice called out as the Eldest miss of the Ji family stepped out. " I was the one who took the letters and gave them to Uncle Zizhen, will you send me to prison now grandpa? But I am afraid that you cannot do that either, I am surnamed Ji and not Shen, so taking something from my own house will not be counted as stealing right?" 

　　"You!" Grandpa Ji was so shocked that he staggered and fell on his butt, this timid granddaughter of his, who never even raised her head in front of him actually did something like this?

　　" How can you do this to me?" Ji Shan was shocked as she looked at her eldest sister. "How can you harm our family like this? Don't tell me you were always jealous of me and that's why you tried to ruin me and my family damn you, elder sister! I have treated you so well and yet you bit the hand that feeds you? Don't you feel the slightest bit regretful about what you have done? You have ruined our family."

　　" Family?" snickered Eldest Miss Ji. " Our family was ruined the day when your grandfather schemed against mine and killed him." At the shocked expressions of the Ji family members, she coldly sneered. " What? Did you think I had no idea? Even if I didn't I could still figure it out, your grandfather was in such a hurry to bury my parents and grandfather that he didn't even let anyone do the autopsy, with the excuse that he wanted my grandfather to rest in peace. Do you think that you are the only one who is smart? I am smart too… for years I burned in the fire of revenge, acted stupid and naive like others so that you wouldn't suspect me… years of patience and finally, I can see the culprits of my family going to the place where they belong." 

　　" You… Ji Ruoling! You will never be forgiven! I curse you——" as Ji Shan was dragged away she cursed at Ji Rouling, who watched everything calmly. Once the culprits were dragged away, she walked to Shen Zizhen and bowed. " I have fulfilled my promise, second uncle… its time for you to fulfil yours." 

　　Shen Zizhen watched her in amusement before taking out a big pouch and handing it to her before looking at the rest of the Shen family members. " From now on, Ji Rouling will be the matriarch of the Ji family as the Eldest miss of the main branch. Whoever wants to oppose her, you can take it to Yamen and deal with it yourself." 

　　Ji Rouling held the pouch and looked inside, as promised the seal of the head of the family was inside it with a few gold taels for her to revive her family. She clutched the pouch and bowed once again before she walked out of the banquet hall, the rest of the Ji family followed after her. 

　　Once she was gone, Old madam Shen looked at her sons and smiled awkwardly. " Zizhen, Junxi, now that we have solved this matter why not let me meet, Wan Wan? I would like to see her and have a long chat with her."

　　" I am afraid that I cannot let you meet her, mother." Shen Zizhen heavily shook his head with a sigh.

　　" Why not you brat?" 

　　"Mother have you forgotten how Ji Shan came to find out about the existence of Wan Wan?" said Shen Zizhen with one of his brows raised. "It's you… you were the one who was behind it, you let that woman meet our Wan Wan."

　　" I? When did I——" at that moment Old madam Shen jolted and realised exactly what Shen Junxi was talking about, she looked at him in shock and fell into a sudden daze. Back at the temple… there was a girl who was always next to Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi … because her eyesight was no longer as good as it was before… she couldn't recognise the girl.

　　Dear heavens! Her granddaughter was so close to her yet she didn't even say a single greeting to her! QAQ! What was wrong with her?

　　Shen Tian on the other hand didn't know what his brother meant, so he hurriedly looked at his brother and unhappily said, " Second brother can you please stop playing tricks on us and take us to Wan Wan?"

　　" Yeah, second brother-in-law, sometimes it's not good to stretch a few things far too long," chimed Xu Jia as she subtly warned him. Though her husband couldn't figure out their plan now, it wouldn't take him long either.
