In the past few years, after the two brothers He Shen and He Lin moved out of He Mansion, there was no external threat. Second uncle Chang Rong had never obeyed Mrs. Hua's advice.
Faced with this situation, Mrs. Hua was naturally very unhappy and wanted to take back her power and give her dishonest second son a good beating.
It is a pity that power is something that is difficult to take back once it is let go. After discovering this, Mrs. Hua regretted it very much, but she still tried her best to take back some of her rights.
Although He Shen didn't know everything about the love and conflict between Mrs. Hua and her second uncle Chang Rong, she could vaguely sense it. The relationship between Mrs. Hua and her second uncle Chang Rong was not as harmonious as it seemed on the outside...
Of course, he has no interest in exploring this, nor does he want to fall into the quagmire of power infighting in Hefu again.
"…………"
"Wow wow wow wow..."
Just as Mrs. Hua and He Shen, the enemy-level grandma and grandson, were looking at each other, a burst of crying from a child came from a room behind them at just the right moment. .
"…………"
"What's wrong, what's wrong, why is Dongming crying?"
Hearing the child's cry, Mrs. Hua's attention was immediately drawn away.
Mrs. Hua faced the outside and shouted repeatedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, why don't you bring Dong Ming over and ask me to see what's going on?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on He Shen's face. It turned out to be Dongming, the youngest son of his second uncle Chang Rong!
"…………"
Shen'er, why are you laughing? How can you still laugh when you see your brother crying so loudly? "
The smile on Heshen's face was seen by Mrs. Hua, and immediately attracted a burst of reprimands.
"…………"
"Old lady, you should take good care of your child!"
When He Shen heard this, he said it in a neutral tone.
He secretly thought in his heart, if something happened to the child that his second uncle, Chang Rong Lailai, had had...
Let’s see if my second uncle Chang Rong, who usually flaunts himself as a filial son, dares to fall out with your mother.
A rush of footsteps sounded from the corridor.
Mrs. Hua, for her part, didn't care about causing trouble for Heshen and hurriedly turned her head and looked behind.
Two women came out in a hurry. One of them had a child in her arms, it was Dongming.
This child is already five years old this year, but his body is the same as He Lin's back then, very, very bad...
"..."
Today, I don’t know what happened. Dongming was just crying and didn’t pay attention to the two nannies’ coaxing.
He made full use of the child's ability to cry.
"…………"
"What's going on? How did you two do things? Why did Dongming suddenly start crying and making a fuss?"
The elderly Mrs. Hua obviously disliked such noise.
The gray-haired Mrs. Hua frowned slightly and scolded the two nannies so hard that they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"…………"
Seeing this, He Shen curled his lips in disdain.
Since you are the one who insists on carrying the child, you must be responsible to the end. It’s really embarrassing for you, who is almost eighty years old, to show such a face in front of a child who is not yet sensible...
I really don’t know if my second uncle Chang Rong will regret it when he sees Old Mrs. Hua looking like this.
However, no matter how much the two nannies coaxed him, Dongming's crying not only did not stop, but became more and more violent...
In the main hall of Jiale Hall, Dong Ming, the little ancestor, was making a lot of noise. Mrs. Hua didn't feel the chaos at all. She added fuel to the fire and scolded her repeatedly.
"…………"
"You two give way and let me hug you!"
Seeing that her cousin Dongming had begun to cough violently and was about to faint, Mrs. Hua could only scold the two nannies...
He Shen touched his nose and couldn't stand it anymore. He suddenly walked over and took Xiao Dongming out. At the same time, he used his internal energy to sort out the breath in Dongming's body.
"Shen'er, what are you doing..."
When Mrs. Hua saw He Shen getting involved in this chaotic situation, she first glared at He Shen with a livid face. She originally thought about cursing him...
However, what surprised everyone was that Xiao Dongming stopped crying immediately after being held in He Shen's arms.
Jiale Hall suddenly became extremely quiet. Mrs. Hua, who was about to take away two acres of land in embarrassment, didn't know what to say at this moment.
"…………"
"Xiao Dongming, what's wrong with you?"
He Shen's face deliberately made a weird look, making the little boy in his arms laugh.
……………
""Xiao Dongming, what's wrong now? "
Just when the scene was harmonious, there was another burst of chaotic footsteps in the corridor.
Before anyone arrived, the deafening roar of my second uncle Chang Rong’s wife, Mrs. Li, could be heard...
When Li, the mother, rushed in with three steps at a time, she was immediately dumbfounded.
Didn't it mean that Dongming was crying all the time, had a relapse of his old illness, and was in poor health?
Why do you look at it now: Dongming's face is red, his breath is peaceful, and there is nothing wrong at all?
Although Li's heart was full of doubts, she was secretly relieved to see that her beloved was okay, and even looked at Heshen with envy, who made Dongming smile.
A woman's natural maternal love made her feel mixed emotions and sad for a while.
"…………"
Aunt, you're here. Xiao Dongming misses his mother. Come give him a hug! "
He Shen, seeing Li's pitiful eyes, sighed quietly, and without saying anything else, he directly handed Xiao Dongming, who was holding in his hand, to Li.
When Mrs. Li saw this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly took over her child, Xiao Dongming.
Seeing Li's extremely unfamiliar way of holding the baby, which was even more laymanlike than a layman, He Shen felt a little unhappy in his heart for some reason.
Mrs. Hua, Mrs. Hua, you really like to do evil.
A good family was broken into three families by your own hands.
"…………"
After witnessing this farce with his own eyes, how could Heshen not know what Mrs. Hua did to prevent Xiao Dongming from becoming the next Heshen when he grew up...
Looking at her relatives who had been separated from her for many years, Li's eyes instantly turned red, and her heart ached so much that she wanted to cry and make a fuss right away.
At the same time, Mrs. Li also hated Mrs. Hua very much in her heart. It was all the good things this old woman had done...
In order to control his grandson, he forcefully separated her from his son. Although they lived in the same place, they made it seem like they were two families.
Stroking Xiao Dongming's hair, Ms. Li secretly made up her mind to make a big fuss and regain the custody of her child.
"…………"
He Shen hesitated for a moment and said: "Old lady, why don't you return brother Dongming to aunt, after all, she is Dongming's mother..."
"..."
"Shen'er, what are you talking about? I brought Dongming here myself."
"Don't you think your aunt is too busy? Are you blaming me for alienating our brothers and sisters?"
Mrs. Hua almost died of anger when she heard this. She stared at He Shen and said coldly.
"…………"
"Don't dare!"
He Shen cupped his hands and replied disapprovingly: "The old lady has good intentions in helping aunt take care of the children, but they are mother and son after all, so it is better for aunt to take care of them by herself!"
Li was overjoyed when she heard this. At this moment, she felt that He Shen was so pleasing to the eye.
At the same time, she looked longingly at Mrs. Hua, who was sitting on the main seat, with unspoken meaning.
"Hmph, I am very close to Xiao Dongming. There is no need for you, Shen'er, to pretend to be a good person here!"
Mrs. Hua's face was full of anger. She glared at He Shen angrily, and then stared at Li Shi so hard that Li could not help but lower her head.
Seeing that Mrs. Li was subdued, Mrs. Hua immediately said lightly.
"Ms. Li, you have endless things to do every day. How can you have time to take care of your child? You'd better leave little Dongming here to raise him!"
"Ms. Li, what do you think?"
"…………"
"Go back to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I have no objection."
Looking at the aggressive Mrs. Hua, the light of hope in Li's eyes instantly dimmed, and she lowered her head slightly to show her submission.
However, in the depths of her eyes, there were flashes of cold light. Today's events had greatly stimulated her...
"………………"
Later, the family had an unhappy lunch...
Although Mrs. Hua, Heshen, Li and others were sitting at the same table to eat, everyone had different opinions.
After the meal was finished, Mrs. Hua, He Shen, Li and others left one after another.
"…………"
"Eldest nephew, wait a moment, wait a moment first!"
Just when He Shen returned to the east courtyard, his second uncle, Chang Rong, unexpectedly chased after him.
"Second uncle, are you okay?"
He Shen had always looked down upon Chang Rong, a cheap uncle. He was a typical muddy man who couldn't hold up the wall and was in a mess.
Moreover, he was extremely greedy and set his sights on the property that his brother had left to his two nephews.
He has such good resources and good connections, but he is still messing around in the Ministry of Rites.
They are all in their forties or fifties, and they are still the head of the etiquette department of the fifth rank. They are simply useless snacks.
"Nephew, I heard that you plan to take the provincial examination?"
The second uncle, Chang Rong, said in a humble tone.
"..."
"Second uncle, what do you mean?"
He Shen glanced sideways at his second uncle who was obviously trying to take advantage of him, and asked angrily.
"Nothing, I just want to ask Shen'er if you are sure. I have some connections here and can help you. I just need some money..."
Chang Rong rubbed his hands and said greedily.
"Second Uncle, I'm not telling you that you want to interfere in the imperial examination..."
When He Shen heard Chang Rong's words, he immediately curled his lips with a look of disbelief.
Since ancient times, those who dared to participate in manipulating the imperial examinations were all powerful ministers, and even the emperor himself was involved.
