Capítulo 172: 170

Early the next morning, Mrs. Shen indeed went to the Government Office to accuse Shen Chengyao's family of being unfilial.

Xiao'er's family was summoned to court. Considering their status, Xiao'er and Shen Chengyao didn't need to kneel, but Mrs. Liu and Shen Jingrui did not enjoy such privilege.

The Fu Yin of Shuntian Mansion was a just and solemn person. He banged on the table and spoke seriously, "Mrs. Shen accuses Marquis Shengping of rebelling against his parents, assaulting them, being unfilial and arrogant, caring only for his own luxury, neglecting his parents. Is this true, Marquis Shengping?"

"I would like to know what is meant by rebelling against parents, assaulting them, and being unfilial," Shen Chengyao suppressed his anger and tension and asked calmly.

He never expected his mother to actually take his family to court. Among the brothers, they had been the most filial, the least greedy, and the most generous. What had their piety earned them? A lawsuit!
