Shen Tingjun frowned upon hearing this and narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked directly at Sang Nianyue, "Leave him to you to raise? What do you mean?"
Sang Nuanyue felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, and her heart was beating wildly. But now that we have talked about it, there is no need to hide it.
Sang Nianyue said tentatively, "I mean, this child may be a burden to you. With one more child, it will be more difficult for you to get married in the future. Why not just give him the child?" Leave it to me?"
Shen Tingjun said nothing, only looked at Sang Nuanyue with his eyes, as if he had never known her before.
Sang Nianyue said what was in her heart, but her heart actually felt very uncomfortable. However, the Hou Mansion has been urging him to see each other and get married. Can he keep holding on to the old lady? Can he never remarry? If he remarried, her children would be an eyesore. Rather than letting him be disliked, it would be better to leave the child to her.
Sang Nuanyue's eyes filled with tears again, "You believe me, I will raise him well. I won't remarry, I will live a good life with the child. If you miss the child in the future, you can come back to see him." This won’t delay you anything, do you think this is good?”
Sang Nuanyue pretended to be relaxed, but in fact her heart ached to death. She didn't know why, even though she knew it was only a matter of time before he got married and had children, she still felt very sad when she thought about that future.
Maybe being pregnant made her become hypocritical, maybe she couldn't help feeling sad and heartbroken when she told about that future, and the tears that she had finally stopped flowing out again.
Shen Tingjun's suppressed anger became shallow again under the wash of tears.
But thinking about what she just said, he was still so angry that he couldn't breathe easily. If she hadn't looked so pitiful and couldn't stop crying, he would have really wanted to ask her if she had any conscience?
But Shen Tingjun resisted the urge, but looking at her, he still couldn't help but think of what she just said. She wants children without him, and he is not included in all her future plans.
Is this woman's heart made of stone?
Shen Tingjun took a deep breath, stood up straight, and walked around the house a few times to calm down the depression in his heart. However, this has no effect.
After walking for a long time, the sobbing behind him also stopped. Shen Tingjun turned around and walked to the bed again to sit down.
Sang Nuanyue looked at him timidly and asked cautiously: "Are you angry?"
Shen Tingjun sneered, "Shouldn't I be angry?"
"But why are you angry?" Sang Nianyue was actually very confused. "You have already agreed to me giving birth to him. Then I will raise him and not bring him to others. Isn't this the most cost-effective thing for you?"
Shen Tingjun's throat slid up and down, and finally he couldn't help calling her name, "Sang Nuoyue!"
Sang twisted Yue's neck and shrank, as if she was frightened. But she just looked at Shen Tingjun stubbornly, "If you have anything to say, say it and we can discuss it carefully. Don't scare me with surprises. I, I will be scared to tears by you."
"I think you are very brave!" Shen Tingjun said coldly: "That is also my child. I agree with you to give birth to him, so I will not abandon him. Not to mention that his birth will bring disadvantages to me. , and deny him. Sang Nianyue, how dare you, how dare you?" How dare you say the words she lived with her children? She is so cruel!
Shen Tingjun was furious and looked at Sang Nuanyue who was too scared to cry. On the one hand, he felt that she looked really pitiful. She was a pregnant woman and had unstable emotions. He should not scare her anymore. But thinking about her arrogant words, I really wish I could deal with her properly.
But whether it was before she was pregnant or after she was pregnant, he couldn't lay hands on her. In the end, he could only be angry with himself, and he frowned and stared at her for a while.
The night is getting deeper and the candles are about to burn out. The candlelight became dim. Shen Tingjun looked at Sang Nuanyue and yawned uncontrollably, with physiological tears coming out of her eyes. She was drowsy, and she couldn't resist Duke Zhou's call to fall asleep.
Her thin body also swayed twice, as if she was about to fall down at any time. Seeing this, Shen Tingjun couldn't bear it, so he could only sit back next to her, and warned her in a serious and solemn tone, "Don't have other ideas. I want this child, and so do you. Don't even think about taking the child with you." Get out of my sight."
Sang Nuanyue was already confused, and in her sleepy state, she couldn't hear exactly what he said.
Her body was laid down and her body was lying between the warm quilts. Sleep invaded all her senses almost immediately. For a moment, Sang Nuanyue forgot that Shen Tingjun was still sitting next to her, and just let him settle herself down, and quickly fell asleep.
When the even breathing sounded again in the small bed, Shen Tingjun sat and stared for a long time before getting up and walking out.
The courtyard was quiet, and all the people serving him had either been knocked down by Cheng Lin, or they were like Su Jin, looking at Shen Tingjun who walked out of the main room majestically as if facing a formidable enemy.
Su Jin stayed up all the time. Su Xin was thinking about changing shifts with Su Jin in the middle of the night, so she woke up in the middle of her sleep. Clinker, as soon as he got up, he saw that it was so quiet outside that you could hear pindrops, and at the door of the girl's compartment, there was Su Jin standing on one side, and the guard next to the Marquis on the other... yes, the one who greeted her on the boat.
The first time she saw this man, Su Xin had a strange thought in her mind: This man was quite persistent, and just because he ignored her greetings, he actually chased her to Sang's house.
But when the cold August wind blew, Su Xin shivered, and then she became energetic.
Then...she realized that she was thinking too much! This guard was definitely not here to look for her. As for why he was in Sang's house now... it was probably because his master was here to look for a girl.
Su Xin was timid and did not dare to move under the man's eager gaze. He could only smile coquettishly, and then nudged up to Su Jin.
She wanted to ask Su Jin something in a low voice, but the night was too quiet. No matter what she said, the guard would definitely hear her.
Thinking of this, Su Xin could only carry Su Jin on her shoulders and look into the room.
But the door to the room was closed, and the voices inside were faint and fragmentary. She couldn't see or hear anything clearly.
Su Jin shook her head again and signaled her not to waste her efforts. Su Xin could only suppress her anxiety and curiosity, and stood at the door like a wooden stake.
With a slight creaking sound, the door was opened from the inside. The three people outside immediately looked over, and Cheng Lin was the first to call out, "Master." Su Jin and Su Xin came to their senses and followed closely behind, saluting quietly and calling out, "Master Hou."
Several people moved to the flower hall. There were no lights in the flower hall, but bright red lanterns were burning in the corridor of the yard. The red glow of the lantern shone into the flower hall, and the furnishings inside were clearly visible.
Shen Tingjun sat on the main seat and asked Su Jin some questions.
Su Jin answered one by one, including when the girl had pregnancy symptoms, whether she had to endure the pregnancy, how she ate, whether she was sleepy, and whether she had any taboos or taboos, etc. Su Jin is knowledgeable and very cooperative. After saying this, Su Jin was silent for a while and then took the initiative to explain, "The girl didn't realize that Su Wen and Su Ying around her were arranged by the Marquis. I noticed it and then informed the eldest young master." The hidden meaning is that you arranged it. The manpower around the girl is not handled by the girl. If you really want to make the girl angry, there is no need. The girl is the last person to know the truth.
Shen Tingjun didn't say anything when he heard this, he just sat in silence for a moment, and before dawn, he left a sentence, "Take care of her." Then he took Cheng Lin and left Sang's house quietly.
When the two figures disappeared into the shadows in the distance, Su Xin leaned on Su Jin with a sigh of relief, "You really dare to say anything. If the Marquis gets angry, your life will not be saved."
"I'm just telling the truth. I can't let the girl take the blame for me."
When Su Xin heard this, she felt sad and said in her heart, it will definitely not work if you let the girl take the blame for you; but you took the initiative to reveal that it was you who broke the Marquis... This means that the Marquis is worried about the girl, otherwise you I'm afraid I won't be able to fall behind.
But no matter what, this time has finally passed. What we need to worry about now is, what will we do tomorrow?
Su Xin poked Su Jin, "Do you want to tell the eldest young master and eldest lady tomorrow about Mr. Hou's visit?"
Hearing this, Su Jin also showed a look of struggle on her face, but she soon found a solution and said, "It's better to ask the girl what she wants before making a decision. After all, we are the girl's girls." But at the beginning, she said It was precisely to protect the girl's interests that she took the initiative to find the young master and revealed the identities of Suwen and Suying. I think it was because of her loyalty to protect the Lord that the Marquis did not ask her any questions today.
Su Jin made a decision in her heart and no longer struggled. She listened carefully to the movement in the room and noticed that the girl was sleeping soundly, so she said, "You can sleep for a while longer. You can go back and have a rest. I will just keep watch over the girl."
Su Xin said: "I've slept for half the night, and now I'm energetic. It's better for you to go and have a rest. The girls on your side didn't sleep well at night, so I guess I won't get up too early today. Go, go, go to sleep." I’ll stay and watch for a while.”
Su Jin thought about it and didn't argue with Su Xin anymore, so she went back to her room to rest. Perhaps there was nothing hidden in her heart anymore, perhaps everything had been decided. Now she was relaxed both physically and mentally, and fell asleep quickly.
When Su Jin woke up the next day, there was no movement in the main room.
Chang Minjun sent someone to see her, and Su Jin and Su Xin replied, "The girl didn't sleep well at night, and she's still asleep now."
In this case, Chang Minjun stopped asking any more questions and was busy preparing for the opening of the ancestral hall tomorrow.
And Sang Fuyue also went out early in the morning to find distant relatives of the Sang family.
When he met everyone, he didn't use official language and directly stated the purpose of his visit. One can imagine how difficult it was for the Sang family to accept this bomb.
Not to mention some old people who couldn't get up, they all got up. Even the cousins who were the same age as Sang Fuyue and claimed to have some friendship with him couldn't sit still. Originally they wanted to be more reserved and didn't want people to say that they were rushing to curry favor with the Sang family, but now they couldn't care less.
However, the Sang Fuyue standing here now is no longer the Sang Fuyue before.
He has experienced close encounters with death, experienced battlefield killings, the flash of swords, and he even saw the ruin of the Sang family after his younger siblings were forced away. Each and every one of them struck Sang Fuyue's heart, making his heart become even colder.
It was also because he knew the behavior of these distant relatives so well that Sang Fuyue sneered as he watched them chant, win over, and coerce, but he remained unmoved. Only when these people were complacent and thought they had persuaded him to change his mind, they forcefully asked people to open the door of the ancestral hall, establish a new family tree, and directly move the ancestral branch out of it.
After doing these things, Sang Fuyue walked away without paying any attention to the loud crying behind her. He also completely threw away those voices that angrily criticized him as "an unfilial son" and "will run rampant when he is in power."
No matter how much these people curse, they are just struggling feebly. From then on, the Sang family branched off and there was no contact between the two sides.
Sang Fuyue stepped out in a good mood. Many people on the street had heard the noise and came to watch the excitement.
Naturally, they did not dare to stop Sang Fuyue from asking questions. Even when Sang Fuyue led a few servants out, they even retreated reflexively. Just waiting to watch Sang Fuyue go away, everyone no longer paid attention to the mess, those who climbed the wall, climbed the tree, and even some unscrupulous ones. They broke into the house regardless of the gatekeeper's blockage, and asked carelessly: "What's the point?" Zong? Oh, this is so new."
"Well done! As early as when Mr. Sang was here, he mentioned the matter of dividing the sect more than once. After all, the fifth server has been released a long time ago, and they are all inseparable. There is really no need to get together every year and festival. Worshiping the ancestors. But how could they, the worms who depend on the Sang family, be willing to do so? At that time, they were scolding each other, and even found many old scholars to come out and force Master Sang to retract his idea. Master Sang was easy to talk, and now the eldest young master That’s not a good temper. What’s wrong with you? You still want others to continue to spoil you. You didn’t stand up when someone was in trouble. Now you are clamoring that we are a family. You are really embarrassing our ancestors.”
Most of the people watching the excitement were supportive of this matter. After all, these distant relatives of the Sang family are indeed outrageous. But there are also some old people who can't help but side with the distant relatives of the Sang family, saying, "We are all from the same ancestor after all." "It hurts not only to be friendly but also to lose face. Besides, it's hard to support a tree alone, so it's better to gather together to keep warm." The eldest young master is now divided into sects. To put it mildly, he dislikes these people for being unmotivated and crooked in character. But it is probably because he is afraid of being held back, so he hastily got rid of these burdens."
There were different opinions, but the incident soon became known throughout the city.
By the time Sang Fuyue arrived at the door of Fushou Street, even the vendors setting up stalls on the street had heard about the branching of the Sang family.
But regardless of everyone's attitude towards this, Sang Fuyue felt extremely happy after dealing with these messy relatives. He was in a good mood and wanted to take his wife to have a few drinks and have a good time.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he saw Uncle Li holding a gold-gilded post and rushing towards him as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Young Master, something serious has happened, Young Master. Mr. Marquis, the message from Mr. Shen said that he would come to visit you in the afternoon."
