You are reckless

Shen Bofeng entered the study and looked at the scene inside with great indifference. "Out," he commanded, went ahead, and sat down in front of his son.

"Yes, Master." The maid quietly left the room and closed the door.

"I heard that something happened at the Jiang Mansion," Shen Bofeng began. Pursing his lips, he frowned and looked at his son who looked lost in his thoughts. From his secret source, he heard a little of all the things that occurred in Jiang Mansion. To say he was disappointed in his son would be an understatement. From the little that he heard, he could make out his son's actions. He was furious after knowing what his son was trying to do.

If he could make out these things, then he was pretty sure that if General Jiang could also get to know the same. If that happened, the entire Shen Mansion would be in great danger.

"Ah Zhang, are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? What were you trying to do?" Shen Bofeng hissed.

Finally, Shen Xiaozhang looked at his father and lowered his eyes. He was ashamed of his actions, too. He didn't think that his great plan would fail and there would not be able to get rid of Jiang Yuyu. He never thought that she would come back alive and that too, with fabricated fake proofs. Thankfully, Jiang Muxun took the blame otherwise, if he was caught then he could already imagine the consequences for plotting against the beloved daughter of General Jiang. However, he was also happy that Jiang Yuyu didn't die because today, he saw something new in her. He saw something that attracted him, immensely.

"Sorry, Father." Shen Xiaozhang sincerely apologized. "This son made a grave mistake!"

"Humph!" Shen Bofeng snorted and flung his sleeves in anger. "Mistake? You were committing a crime, Ah Zhang. You were trying to kill your fiance. What were you thinking? Is this how I taught you to deal with your problems?"

"Do you even know what you have done?" Shen Bofeng roared. "You plan could have implicated the entire Shen Mansion. If something would have happened to Jiang Yuyu, do you think that General Jiang would have let us go? Thankfully, nothing happened to Jiang Yuyu. Thankfully, no blame was put on you or nobody caught the fact that you were also involved in this stupid plan."

Shen Xiaozhang bowed his head in shame and apologized. "Sorry, Father. This son is useless."

Hearing his words, Shen Bofeng calmed down. The anger in his heart disappeared on hearing that sincere apology. No matter what, this was his son and he was proud of him. He sighed, "Ah Zhang, you are not useless. You are reckless."

"I know, Father."

"Listen, I know that you don't like that girl, Jiang Yuyu. Even I feel that she is quite unworthy of you. How can that waste be a match for my perfect and talented son? But, Ah Zhang, no matter how she is, don't forget, that girl is simply not your fiance but she is the beloved daughter of General Jiang. That man is cunning and shrewd. He won't let go of any matter related to his beloved daughter," Shen Bofeng explained. "What you did today was quite reckless and stupid on your part. Don't do such things in the future."

"Yes, Father." Shen Xiaozhang nodded. "I promise, It won't happen again."

"Hmm..." Shen Bofeng was pleased. "Look, there are many ways to kill someone without getting yourself implicated. Even if you want to kill Jiang Yuyu, do it in a way that no one can catch you or blame you. Instead of getting people's anger, gain their sympathy. That would be beneficial to us."

Shen Xiaozhang looked up at his father and nodded.

"Where did that letter come from? Why did Muxun do such a stupid move?" Shen Bofeng asked. He knew that his son liked that girl, Jiang Muxun. Even he was pleased with that girl and he wanted her to be his daughter-in-law. She was smart, beautiful, talented, had good skills, well-versed. In short, she possessed all the qualities that he was looking for in a daughter-in-law. That's why he never stopped his son from pursuing Jiang Muxun even when he had a fiance. But after knowing that Muxun did such a stupid move in leaving a piece of big evidence that could have implicated his son and the Shen Mansion, he was quite displeased with her.

"I thought that girl was smart but it looks like -"

"Father, that letter is fake. Muxun didn't write any letter." Shen Xiaozhang interrupted.

Shen Bofeng raised his brows. "You sure?"

Shen Xiaozhang nodded. "Muxun, never wrote any letter. It was fabricated by Jiang Yuyu."

"Jiang Yuyu, that fool, you are saying that fool fabricated that fake letter which resembled Muxun's handwriting?"

"Yes, Father." Shen Xiaozhang nodded. He pitched his nose and looked at his father helplessly. "Not only that, there is something else that I want to talk to you about."

"What?"

Next, Shen Xiaozhang sighed and began to talk in detail about everything that happened in the Jiang mansion. He spoke about how Jiang Yuyu counterattacked her sister, how she gave out that fake letter, how she made General Jiang punish Jiang Muxun, how she talked back to him, ignored him. He talked about the change in her demeanor, her behavior, and her actions. Also, he told his father about the adopted son of General Jiang.

The more Shen Bofeng listened to Jiang Yuyu's actions, the more he felt that something was wrong. After Shen Xiaozhang stopped talking, he looked at his son and took a deep breath. "Ah Zhang, do you think that Jiang Yuyu knows about your affair with her son?" he asked seriously.

"What?" Shen Xiaozhang was shocked. He never thought about this before. Did she know about his affair? After all, every time that he went to the Jiang Mansion, he would spend a lot of time with Jiang Muxun compared to Jiang Yuyu. He never cared about Jiang Yuyu or her feelings. Hence, he never knew whether she was aware of this or not.
