Shen Zhonglei's voice became louder and louder, and Mrs. Xu who was recuperating in the back room heard it clearly. Regardless of the maid's obstruction, she dragged the sick body out and hugged Shen Yunyao, crying together.
"Master, you are so cruel!" Mrs. Xu had a sick look on her face, crying with snot and tears, "Even if the master looks down on me and the Xu family, Yun Yao is just like Tian Shu. I am your own flesh and blood, master, so why do you have to differentiate yourself?"
"Who wants to decide who is better? She is obviously a good daughter born to you by your maternal nephew. She does such a ridiculous thing, and you, you have the nerve to slap her down. I am so ashamed for you!"
"Tian Shu was only one year old when I came into the family. Please tell me, what is wrong with me as a stepmother? It turns out that my family background is low and I am not worthy of the second master of the Shen family. Now that I am old and yellow, I am even more disliked by others. , I wish I could divorce me and marry a young and beautiful woman. When the time comes, it will be so comfortable to hold a beauty who is about the same age as my daughter..."
Although the Shen family was a new member of the dynasty, they were strict in running the family and had a complete set of family rules and mottos, which were constantly supplemented and improved by each generation of clan masters.
He had never heard undisguised vulgar language before, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and slap Xu in the face, angrily yelling: "The child is still here, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. Xu had never dared to talk to Shen Zhonglei like this before. Today, she was really in a hurry and was confused because of the fever, so she really didn't hesitate to speak.
The slap in the face made her feel lucky. The sweat that she had not been able to completely break out after taking the medicine before came out all at once this time.
The close-fitting underwear was soaked with sweat and clung to her body coldly, making Xu's face, which was already uncomfortable, even more ugly.
"Master, I didn't mean that, I..."
"Xu Yurou, Xu Yurou, you finally spoke your truth today, right?" Shen Zhonglei looked at Xu as if he were a stranger, "You have been pretending for so many years, are you tired?"
"Master, I'm confused because of my illness." Mrs. Xu fell at Shen Zhonglei's feet and cried until she had runny nose and tears. "I married into the Shen family when I was seventeen years old. I am filial to my parents-in-law and take care of my young daughter. Not only do I give birth to a son for you, Raising a daughter, you also have to take care of all the trivial things at home, just so that the master can concentrate on studying and taking exams. There should be hard work without credit, right? Even if the master doesn’t care about Yun Yao and me, he still has to think about Yuan Yuan. Lin, he is only eleven years old, can I bear to let him be separated from his mother like this?"
Hearing Xu's words, Shen Zhonglei was indeed shaken.
After so many years between the couple, he can still feel whether Mrs. Xu is sincere to this family and to him.
But thinking about what Xu Yihao and Shen Yunyao did, I still couldn't help but feel angry.
Nian Qiao was very clever. When Xu mentioned Shen Yuanlin, he slipped out quietly and quickly brought Shen Yuanlin over.
When Shen Yuanlin saw that his mother and sister were crying, although he didn't know why, his mouth dropped and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Shen Zhonglei's originally iron-hearted heart was softened by his son's tears in an instant.
Now that he is in his forties, he only has such a son. No matter how strict he is in daily life, he will only punish him because of his deep love. He does not know how much he loves this son in his heart.
"Dad, please stop quarreling with mother." Shen Yuanlin burst into tears instantly, looking up at Shen Zhonglei pitifully, "Dad, Lin'er, can you endorse the Analects of Confucius that my husband taught me today..."
"Okay, it's okay..." Shen Zhonglei sighed and hugged Shen Yuanlin into his arms, "My parents didn't quarrel. You and the maid went down to eat. Don't delay going to school."
Shen Yuanlin had tears in his eyes, looked up at Shen Zhonglei with worry, and begged: "Dad, don't drive mother away."
"Don't worry, when you come back from school, your mother will be waiting for you at home." Shen Zhonglei finally relaxed in his son's almost pleading eyes.
After finally coaxing Shen Yuanlin away, Shen Zhonglei's face dropped again and he said to Mrs. Xu: "Shen Yunyao is grounded. She is not allowed to come out without my permission. Send Xu Yihao away immediately today and ask your brother and sister-in-law to discipline her strictly." He is not allowed to visit again, and you are not allowed to secretly send money to the Xu family again, otherwise if I find out again, you will go back to the Xu family for the rest of your life!"
Shen Zhonglei raised it high and lowered it gently. Instead of letting Mrs. Xu breathe a sigh of relief, she even said in a condescending manner: "Master, Yihao is not well yet. Can you wait until he takes the last two doses of medicine?"
Before Shen Zhonglei could get angry, Shen Yunyao got angry first.
"Yihao, Yihao, my mother knows all about my cousin every day. He almost killed me, and you still care whether he has taken the last two doses of medicine? He is not your child, I am your biological child. !”
"No, Yihao has been taking medicine for such a long time for his illness. I thought it wouldn't be wrong to take these two days. What if the child suffers from any disease just because of these two medicines, right?" Xu Shi carefully looked at Shen Zhonglei's eyes and explained.
"For the sake of Yunyao and Yunhui's reputation, I don't want to make this matter public, otherwise I would like to beat his tendons and peel off his skin! I will also take medicine and eat my shit!"
Shen Zhonglei now feels sick when he thinks of Xu Yihao. He has always been very kind to the Xu family. The Xu family gave money to the family every year, but he just pretended not to know. Xu Yihao got into trouble and ran away to avoid it, but he turned a blind eye.
But what did I get in exchange for my generosity and tolerance in the end? In exchange, he taught his own daughters badly and almost caused their two daughters to die.
Shen Zhonglei didn't want to see Xu Yihao again at this time, nor did he want to hear the name again.
"Before I send him home tonight, you'd better get him away from me, otherwise I won't be too polite when I come!"
After Shen Zhonglei finished breakfast, he didn't bother to eat at home and walked away.
Mrs. Xu knelt on the ground and was stunned for a long time. Then she wiped away the tears on her face and sent Shen Yunyao back to the room. Then she began to worry about how to send Xu Yihao back.
As the saying goes, it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. There was a riot once when he moved the yard before, but now that he heard that he was going to be kicked out, I'm afraid there will be even more trouble.
The Zhao family still lives in the East Crossing Courtyard. Although they go out independently and walk through the side door, they can still guess if there is any big disturbance on their side of the house.
What happened this time was embarrassing enough. Fortunately, it didn't spread, otherwise the whole family would not be able to behave.
What's more, the prescription has always been in Shen Tianshu's hand, and he can't get it at all.
Xu struggled for a long time, and finally she came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
She asked someone to clean up a house she bought with her own money, and temporarily settled Xu Yihao's master and servant here. After taking the medicine, she sent someone to send him home.
