Tao handed over most of the property to Shen Baiyu, and gave the leases of five shops, a farm, ten gold ingots of three taels, and five thousand taels of silver to Shao. "Wife, this family will be handed over to you in the future. Mom wants to be the old Fengjun, so I will just be with my grandson in the future."

Shao was a little uneasy when he heard this and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't know anything, so I want my mother to give me more."

"You are a smart child. Don't worry about your mother when you do things. Besides, you won't have so many things to do in the future. Just follow the rules of the Shen family. Those who have no son will be sent to the family temple and send some incense silver every year. As for Bai Ding, he will give him 3,000 taels of silver to settle the family and let him take his biological mother away." After Tao explained the matter clearly to his son and daughter-in-law, he submitted a memorial the next day and asked to meet Concubine Xi.

The emperor was nostalgic and conferred the late original wife Zhao as the queen, and was hung in the air to the throne, and conferred the youngest daughter of General Xi, who he had seized the throne as the imperial concubine.

Tao met the emperor through Concubine Xi, "My husband is the minister of the Emperor. It is necessary to solve his worries and problems for the Emperor. Thanks to the grace of the Emperor, he appointed his husband as the Marquis of Zhongyi. The emperor's grace is so great that I am grateful to him."

The emperor supported his left hand and said, "Madam Shen, don't have to be too polite, get up and talk."

"Thank you, Master Dao kowtowed and stood up, "Mr. Master Dao, my husband died, and was extremely sad. He had no intention of doing business. He just wanted to send his husband out quietly, but..."

Tao sighed and said, "Yei Sui, I have two sons, the eldest son has passed away, and the second son is incomplete. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes caused by this title, it will cause brothers to rebel, and my uncle and nephew will beg me to yell to take back the title."

Although the emperor was not very clear about the matter of the Shen family, he could also figure it out if the Tao saved it. Thinking of his dispute with King Rui, he was also full of melancholy, "Madam Shen, although the son is incomplete, he can be a marquis and a false position."

"Thank you for your favor, but I am just my second son. If you don't succeed in literature and martial arts, you will be free to receive the court's salary. I really have the word "loyalty and righteousness". If I can't let my descendants give me a reputation for losing my husband." Tao said with his head.

"Madam, righteousness." The emperor sighed.

"I thank you for your kindness for your kindness." Tao knelt down and kowtowed.

After coming out of the palace, Tao returned to the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion and changed into mourning clothes and headed to the mourning hall. As soon as he arrived at the back door, he met Shen's mother who came out of Xiaojie.

Shen's mother asked with a cold face: "You are back, have the matter been done?"

Tao curled the corners of his lips, walked to her, held her arm, leaned close to her, and whispered in her ear: "I will enter the palace and ask the emperor to seize the title. There will be no Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion in the future."

Shen's mother turned her head to look at her in disbelief.

Tao let go of her hand, and before she could react, she hugged her head, ran to the mourning hall, shouting loudly: "Old lady, I can't agree to you in this matter, I can't agree to you in this matter, I can't agree to you..."

Shen's mother subconsciously turned around to chase her, "Shut up, shut up, what are you talking nonsense?"

When the people in the mourning hall heard the sound, they looked over in shock. Seeing Tao running away in front and Shen’s mother chasing her from behind, they were shocked. What is this? The mother-in-law beats her daughter-in-law in public. This is something that only happens in the market.

Tao staggered under his feet, fell to the ground, turned around to face Shen's mother, and cried, "Old lady, the title belongs to the master, the master has a son, and the master has a son."

The battle for titles is not a strange thing, and everyone will understand it as soon as they hear it. This is the other two houses of the Shen family who want to seize the title of the third house. Before the body of Zhongyi was cold, he came to seize the title of the other family. Isn’t this too cold and ruthless?

"Tao, you are too sad and unconscious. Don't talk nonsense here, hurry up and go in and rest." Mother Chen signaled her maid to help Tiu up.

"I won't go in, I won't go in." Tao shook off the hand of the maid helping the maid and shook his head desperately while retreating, "Old lady, please give us orphans and widows a way out!"

"Who hasn't given you a way out? Don't mess around here, hurry up and go in." Shen's mother said sternly.

"Old lady, you are so cruel...ah!" Tao shouted and rushed towards the coffin.

"Mother, don't." Shen Baiyu shouted. The others also realized that something was wrong, but they were too far away to stop them. They watched Tao hit the coffin and fell down with blood.

"Mother! Mother!"

Shen Baiyu and Shao ran over, and Chen's mother was stunned. She didn't expect that Tao would seek a short circuit? She still ran into a coffin in front of so many people and died.

"Mother, mother." Shen Baiyu picked up Tao and pressed the wound on Tao's forehead with a filial scarf. However, the wound on Tao's forehead was too deep and the blood could not be stopped. In an instant, the white filial scarf dyed it into a blood cloth.

Tao opened his eyes, looked at Shen Baiyu, showed a weak smile, and said, "Baiyu, you must live well."

"Mother, mother, don't die." Shen Baiyu cried.

"Please ask for a doctor, go and call him." Shao realized what was going on with her uneasiness at the beginning.

Tao took a breath and said, "Don't ask a doctor, don't cry. Old lady, old lady, I beg you, please be kind and let my son go. He is an honest child. He will not fight with you, and he dare not fight with you."

Chen's mother was hard to speak, and no matter how many she said, others would not believe it. Tao used his life to accuse Chen's mother of unkindness and put the Shen family's struggle for title on the table.

The emperor was furious and issued an order to punish the Chen Mansion and others, denying them for their titles, regardless of family affection, and forcing the wife of the first-rank Zhongyi Marquis to death. In order to resolve the root cause of the disaster, the founding of the country was to rectify the country's foundation, and to take back the title of Zhongyi Marquis, take back the first-rank imperial edict of Shen Muzai, and dismiss the fourth-rank official position of Chen Muzai, and never hire him. However, the Hou's Mansion did not take it back, but rewarded Shen Baiyu and let his family continue to live.

It would be fine if the title was lost, but the eldest son's official position and her imperial decree were gone. Chen's mother was deeply hit and fell ill. On the day of the funeral of the Tao, she also left. The second wife of the Shen family's family was separated, and Shen Baiyu was also splitting the family.

In addition to the eldest son Shen Bomi who died, and the legitimate daughter who had no name, Chen Muke's children also had the second son Shen Boyu, five concubines and Shen Boding, the concubine.

The five concubines knew their identities and sent their biological father to the mountain. After the mother was buried in the funeral, she went home to mourn. However, Shen Baiding was unwilling to give up and was kicked out of the house. He shouted: "I am also my father's son. Why can't I live in the mansion? Why do I give me three thousand taels of silver?"

Shao said coldly: "Third brother, your parents are gone, and it is inevitable that the family will be divided. It is natural for the concubine's son to be separated. If you want to live in the mansion and want to divide the family property with your legitimate brother, that is a joke, it is impossible."

Shen Boding didn't expect that the always gentle Shao family would suddenly become so strong that he could not say much, so he ordered people to pack up and drive him and his son out.

Three thousand taels of silver were just a matter of a few meals for a young man like Shen Boding. After squandering all the money, Shen Boding died in poverty in a broken house. The Shen family did not become a first-class family in Jindu City as planned by Master Shen and Shen Muke, but gradually declined. Only Shen Boyu, a branch, developed into a wealthy businessman with the support of his eldest cousin Tao Ze and second cousin Tao Run, and the help of his capable servants.
