Chapter 597 Fear not .　　After listening to what the Shen family doctor just said there was an instant uproar in the banquet hall, everyone turned to look at the Ji family and couldn't help but shake their heads in disbelief and disapproval.

" Did you hear what the doctor just said? The Ji family asked him to add slow-acting poison to Old madam Shen's medicine!" 

" How can I miss that, he shouted it so loudly." A young miss clicked her tongue as she shook her head in contempt. " Really they are too much who here don't know that the Shen family is the one behind the Ji family, if not for the Old madam Shen who helps her maternal family once in a while because of her big heart and good intentions they would have been kicked out on the streets by now with all those loans that they have borrowed."

" Exactly, I heard from my father that the Ji family was stuck in a mess a few months ago, the son of the eldest master of the Ji family was locked up in the Yamen for teasing a young lady, it was Old madam Shen who paid five hundred silver taels and gifted a rare antique to the young lady's family to bail that hooligan out and this is how they repaid her?"

" Really how shameless, I have seen white-eyed wolves but the Ji family seemed to be filled with them, good thing I knew that the girl was not a good seed with just one glance and didn't allow my son to get close to her or else, who knows how she would have ruined my family."

"I can't help but pity Old madam Shen she was honestly so good to her brother and his family yet they did something like this, are they serious?"

Old madam Shen blinked and looked at Ji Shan in a daze. Ji Shan who noticed that the always smiling and warm-eyed Old madam Shen was now looking at her with confusion and doubts in her eyes, immediately shook her head, " I didn't..you know I didn't grandma, I will never hurt you. I swear I had no idea even if the Ji family did something like this, I had no idea about it." 

Ji Shan was truly the spawn of her Ji family, one was more heartless than the other. Old man Ji was willing to kill his sister who has been kind to him throughout her life and Ji Shan wanted to abandon the Ji family now that it was of no use to her. Old man Ji saw that Ji Shan was trying to cut relationships with their family and he was both angry and impressed. That girl sure was ruthless if she was a boy, she would have been his greatest asset.

Alas, it wasn't the time to think about such things, he needed to do some damage control or else he would be kicked out of the Shen family and all his heart work would go down the drain. So, he hurriedly stepped forward and looked at his sister with a flattering smile and an innocent expression, since Old man Ji was born with a childlike face that didn't match with his ruthlessness, he was able to fool many innocent people with his good-natured face. 

" Elder sister, I think that there is some sort of misunderstanding, someone must be trying to frame me," he shook his head and knocked his cane on the ground. " You know what kind of life I and my kids live how can I even have so much money on my hand? This doctor must have been incited by someone to dig a pit for me, and nothing else."

If Ji Shan was a little actress then Old man Ji was also her grandfather he was just as good at pretending as any actress in a soap opera.  If not he wouldn't have been able to take the power of managing the Ji family under his hands! 

When he said those words he immediately directed all the attention to the Shen brothers who bought the doctor with them after all it was them who took the liberty to bring the doctor from who knows where most probably they were the ones who were behind it and seeing how the doctor was sacred of them maybe they tried to play a trick at the Ji family?

Just as thoughts started to run wild in the heads of the spectators, the subordinate took out a bunch of letters and this time the smile slipped off the face of Old man Ji. His eyes widened with disbelief as he looked at his son who immediately dashed to the subordinate who was holding the letter, trying to snatch them away from him. He knew that it was a delirious situation for them, if these letters were shown to the Old Madam Shen then she will never let their family off. 

Shen Junxi motioned his guards and shouted, " Stop him and take every member of the Ji family under arrest, no one is to leave this banquet hall unless things have become totally clear for everyone!" 

The guard immediately made a move and one by one started to drag the members of the Ji family from the crowd. Even Ji Shan was dragged away, seeing that she was going to lose everything, Ji Shan shouted anxiously to Old madam Shen, " Grandma believe me I have no idea what's going on, please believe me don't you trust Shan Shan the most? Trust Shan Shan one more time, just once I swear I have nothing to do with this matter."

"If you are innocent then you need not to be anxious," said Shen Tian coldly as he strode forward and stood next to Old madam Shen, he did notice that his mother was angsty and short-tempered these days but he accounted it to he being restless, who would have thought that his disciple whom he taught and trusted would be brought off for just a few gold taels? He glanced at the panic-stricken Ji Shan and calmly stated, " If you are innocent then no one will say anything to you but if you are…."
