While Shen Changze's intuition was strong, he was right to suspect that his placement in the Ministry of Revenue was a trap meticulously set by Shen Qi and Shen Shian. Shen Shian's cooperation with many brothers ensured that no one would suspect their malicious intentions.
Shen Changze's lips trembled slightly. "You… You're lying. You did this on purpose!"
Shen Shian didn't argue, only looking at him with a face full of sadness and disappointment. Then he shook his head slightly and lowered it again.
"Third Brother, the Royal Heir had good intentions. How could you misunderstand him? Even I know that military funds are off-limits. Your actions are indeed wrong. You should quickly admit your mistake to Father Emperor and return the money. You can't keep making Father Emperor clean up your messes."
Shen Qi's gentle support only deepened Shen Changze's frustration. He knew he was being set up but lacked the evidence to prove it, especially with Shen Qi stirring the pot.
