Chapter 897: Finding a Little Boy to Take the Blame
When these words were spoken, even the Shen family's nanny was dumbfounded. They had already entered the house and were about to get married, so how could the girl say such a thing?
The matchmaker was even more embarrassed, because she was the one who arranged this marriage. Although the daughter of the Shen family was born out of wedlock, she praised her as beautiful, intelligent, virtuous and talented, gentle and quiet, with outstanding looks, and she was a good match that was very hard to find.
But the Shen Zhizhi in front of him seemed to be unreasonable and was a very difficult person to deal with.
The matchmaker said quickly, "Young Madam must have been frightened. It's too much of a joke to think someone gave something like this as a wedding gift. Don't worry, Young Madam. Let's complete the wedding ceremony smoothly first. The Ghost Merchant will definitely get to the bottom of it."
When Shen Zhizhi saw that Shang Hong had no reaction at all, she knew that the child was related to him. She lost her temper just to show that she was not easy to bully, not because she really didn't want to marry into the Shang family. After all, Shang Hong was a wealthy aristocrat. Although she was a second wife, she was also a legitimate wife. Her status was a thousand times better than those women who were concubines.
Shen Zhizhi also listened to the advice and bowed slightly to Madam Shang. "I am really scared, mother-in-law, who is trying to harm our Shang family? My husband is going to join the army soon, and I am worried about his safety."
She looked completely different from the well-behaved and sensible girl she was just now. Mrs. Shang's expression also looked better after she got the chance to step down.
Madam Shang smiled and said, "Your grandfather and father-in-law were both great generals who fought in the battlefield and killed many bad guys. If there are bad guys who want to take revenge on us, we can't stop them. We can only try our best to protect the safety of our family. Don't worry, Zhizhi, everything will be fine."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked like real mother and daughter, which made everyone dumbfounded.
Some people were puzzled: "Who sent the gift? Did the gift-receiving manager send it in without checking it carefully? How could the gift box be delivered directly to the bride? It's so strange."
After being reminded, everyone finally reacted. Shen Zhizhi looked around but couldn't find anyone. She said, "Just now when I came in from outside, a little boy suddenly ran up to me and handed me an exquisite gift box."
She was startled and said, "Yes, it's the little boy in green clothes. She gave it to me on her own initiative."
She thought the box was beautiful and didn't think much about it. She just felt it was heavy and couldn't help but open it to take a look. Unexpectedly, she saw a bloody mass of meat. She was so scared that she quickly threw away the gift box, which led to what happened next.
Someone said: "What little boy? Could it be someone's little boy deliberately playing a prank?"
"What was that? Are you blind? How could it be a little boy giving a gift?"
Suddenly, everyone started talking again and looking for the little boy.
Someone suddenly shouted, "I also saw that it was a gift from a little boy to the bride. He was dressed in a very rich manner and looked to be about seven or eight years old."
Shang Hong's eldest son was seen hiding in the crowd with his nanny covering his mouth. The boy was so scared that he was sweating all over, his legs and feet were weak and numb, and he even wet his pants. He had never expected that the box contained such a horrible thing.
At this moment, the boy suddenly made a noise, and some people around him pointed at him and shouted, "The boy in green clothes, who looks about seven or eight years old, isn't this referring to him?"
Everyone focused their attention on the boy, and someone asked, "Isn't this the grandson of Mr. Shang?"
"How could it be him? How could such a young child use something like that to scare the bride? I don't believe it unless someone instructed him to do so."
"Father is going to marry his stepmother, so the child must be unhappy and do this."
"That's a dead baby. Where did that kid get the dead baby to scare the stepmother? There must be something else going on."
Mrs. Shang was also very protective when she saw this. "Don't speculate, it can't be Yu'er. Madam Zhou, why don't you take Young Master Sun away quickly?"
Nanny Zhou had wanted to take Young Master Sun away for a long time, but Young Master Sun's feet wouldn't obey her!
Shen Zhizhi saw the little boy: "It's the gift box he gave me." But she didn't believe that such a young child did it. Where did the dead baby come from? It must be that Shang Hong had a romantic debt outside. Humph, she made such a big joke before she even entered the house. She must use this incident to control Shang Hong and give herself the greatest benefit. Now Shang Hong's grandson is involved. It must be God's help that helps her become a good and kind mother.
As everyone has guessed, Shang Yu is the son of Shang Hong’s ex-wife. Shang Hong spoils him and makes him lawless.
The next moment, the little boy seemed to be frightened silly. He had never seen such a terrifying thing before. He struggled to break free from his nanny's hand and screamed, "It has hands, feet, and eyes. Grandma, Yu'er saw it..."
Mrs. Shang was filled with heartache when she saw her grandson was so frightened. She held her grandson's hand, only to feel his fingers were icy cold. She glared at the wet nurse and said, "How did you take care of Young Master Sun? Why is he so frightened?"
The nurse knelt on the ground in fear. "I don't know! I only saw Young Master Sun running into the wedding hall with a box in his arms, and then I saw him handing the gift box to the young lady. And then there was the scene just now. I was also shocked."
Shen Zhizhi walked up to Shang Yu, a smile on her face, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I don't blame you. I know it wasn't you. How could such a lovely child hurt me? He's scared. Everyone, please don't say anything."
Shang Yu was indeed frightened. He stared at the woman in front of him and pushed her without thinking, shouting, "No, it's... Grandmother, not me, she is a bad woman." His father would not want them if he married a new wife who would give birth to a little brother.
Shen Zhizhi was also dumbfounded. How could she become a bad woman? She hadn't even started to do anything bad to him.
Shen Zhizhi could only smile. In front of so many people, she couldn't possibly argue with a child: "Mother, don't miss the auspicious time. Let's get married first!"
Madam Shang said, "Housekeeper, go and prepare!"
In order to ease the atmosphere, music was played outside the yard again, and it looked festive, as if what had just happened had never happened.
But on the wedding day, everyone felt uncomfortable seeing blood and such unlucky things. Seeing blood was a bad omen, so Shen Zhizhi had to hold back her anger.
There was not a trace of joy in the whole wedding ceremony. Shang Hong was even more irritable and completed all the rituals like a piece of wood. It was not his first time to get married, and he had no anticipation in his heart, just felt bored. What he couldn't understand was why Helan Yanran would do such a thing, she was obviously a gentle and kind woman.
Everyone was talking about it, and the merchants were so angry that they didn't know how to vent.
Jiang Fenghua seemed to have seen someone familiar just now. What was Bai Yuhan doing so stealthily? This gift box was given by Bai Yuhan to the little boy, but what did it have to do with her? She wanted to find Shang Hong's son to take the blame.
