Bamboo horse is king

Chapter 603
Shen Shikun passed away, and everyone in the Shen family stayed in the courtyard of the big house overnight.

There has been no clue about the murderer.

The news of the death of the Patriarch of the Shen family spread to the palace immediately after dawn, and the other four major families also got the news.

At the same time, news spread that the eldest prince was seriously injured and unconscious.

The Pei family, one of the five great families, was also in chaos. In the middle of the night, the eldest wife of the Pei family ran away from home with the seriously injured Fourth Young Master Pei, and her whereabouts were unknown.

Obtaining the emperor's order, Chao Jiarui brought people from the Ministry of Punishments to Shen's house to investigate the cause of Shen Shikun's death.

Ye Qianyu and Chao Jiake also followed.

In the past, Chao Jiarui had dealt with Miss Yun a lot, and when she saw the scar on Shen Shikun's neck, she basically concluded that Miss Yun did it.

However, both Ye Qianyu and the ancestor insisted that Miss Yun was seriously injured and her life and death were unknown, so it was unlikely that she would come out to commit the crime.

In this way, the case became confusing.

In addition, the murderer came and went without a trace, without even leaving any clues, and it was another unsolved case.

At noon, news came from the palace that Chao Yaoheng woke up, and the people who hurt him were Miss Yun and the demon.

Because what Chao Yaoheng said was originally the murderer who was denied by the ancestors, but this time it has become affirmed, it is undoubtedly Miss Yun.

It's just that it's unbelievable that Miss Yun will be fine after only two or three days after suffering such a serious injury.

The old ancestor's heart became more and more heavy.

The sky above the entire Shen family was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Mr. Shen was busy taking care of Shen Shikun's funeral, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man. His face looked much older, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

Shen Jue'er and Shen Xiyue returned to Xichen Pavilion.

Shen Xiyue sat and read a book.

Shen Jue'er rested her chin on one hand, thinking about the next thing.

Shen Shikun died, and the dispute over the head of the family was clearly on the horizon. With the ancestors around, it was absolutely impossible for the royal family to intervene.

The second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle are all incompetent.

Shen Tianhong is a fifth-level profound practitioner, and Shen Qingcheng is a fourth-level profound practitioner. Their abilities are too poor, and grandfather will not consider them as a last resort.

Then only she and Xiyue are left.

"Miss! The third master is here!"

The servant girl entered the room and said respectfully.

Shen Jue'er raised her eyebrows, "What is Uncle San here for?"

"They said they were looking for Miss Seven!"

The maid looked at Shen Xiyue.

Shen Xiyue raised her eyes with doubts on her face, what do you want her for?
A look of amusement flashed in Shen Jue'er's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Seventh sister, go and have a look, the third uncle may have something to do with you!"

Shen Xiyue nodded, with an indifferent expression, she got up and walked out.

Shen Shiyuan stood outside the Xichen Pavilion, looking forward to it, and when he saw Shen Xiyue, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he stepped forward, "Yue'er, you are here!"

Shen Xiyue frowned slightly, "Father, what do you need from me?"

"You come with me!"

Shen Shiyuan turned around and walked towards Shen Xiyue's Xiyue Pavilion.

Shen Xiyue followed silently.

Arriving at Shen Xiyue's yard, Shen Shiyuan poked his arm subconsciously, the gloomy atmosphere around him made his hairs stand on end, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"Father, what do you want from me?" Shen Xiyue asked again.

Shen Shiyuan looked serious, with calculations in his eyes, "Yue'er, your uncle is dead, next, your grandfather must choose a new patriarch, in our Shen family, besides your grandfather, you and Jue'er are the most capable now. "

"In the past two days, your grandparents have had a lot of prejudice against Jue'er. This is your opportunity, so you must seize it."

"When you become the head of the family, our three-bedroom family will have a better life, and your younger siblings can also find a good future, and you don't have to rely on others."
