The reason why Mrs. Hua did this was entirely to advance before retreating.
She thought that once she made such a gesture, He Shen would be more or less frightened no matter what she thought in her heart...she could persuade her not to be so "impulsive"...
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was He Shen's push. In order to die together with him, an old woman, he even went into the water together...
Heshen, you are really her good grandson!
"You, a rebellious grandson, drove your grandma back to your hometown. Is this your filial piety?"
Seeing that crying was useless, Mrs. Hua was heartbroken and simply asked with a dissatisfied face and angrily.
At this time, this always shrewd old lady never mentioned the rules of returning to the clan or the matter of returning to her hometown in Liaodong...
The old lady was afraid that He Shen was really cruel and sent her back to her hometown in Liaodong.
Mrs. Hua, who felt faintly guilty, wondered if she had really forced her too much, causing the unfilial descendant in front of her to have murderous intentions.
"…………"
"Old lady, what else do you want?"
He Shen spread his hands and said unmoved: "Old lady, you want what you can get in exchange for your grandson's life, why don't you allow me to resist?"
Mrs. Hua was speechless and said nothing.
"…………"
The atmosphere was awkward. Mrs. Hua, He Shen, Chang Rong and others were staring at each other, and no one dared to break the deadlock.
Fortunately, at this moment, Guilai, the chief steward of the He Mansion, cautiously reported outside the door: "Old Taijun, the head of the Zongyan clan of the main lineage, please ask the young master to come to the house!"
Hearing this voice, everyone in the main hall, whether Mrs. Hua, Chang Rong, or He Shen, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that if the stalemate continued like this, there would eventually be a bloody conflict!
"Since Uncle Zongyan has invited me, I will take my leave now!"
He Shen stood up and smiled softly, nodded slightly to Mrs. Hua, turned around and left. As for Chang Rong, he didn't bother to pay attention at all.
This series of actions by He Shen made Mrs. Hua very angry.
"Look... Look, what is this bastard grandson doing? He dares to talk to his grandma like this."
After He Shen left, Mrs. Hua, who had been forced into a corner unable to move or retreat, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she said angrily without being polite at all.
"It's like this when I'm still underage. I'll pay it forward in the future. Is there still a place for an old woman like me to sit in this mansion?"
"Mother, please don't move, you may injure yourself."
To be honest, after seeing He Shen leave, Chang Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he was also afraid that He Shen Yu would be broken.
Chang Rong, who originally had some desire to sow discord in his heart, no longer had it after today's troubles.
He has never been so scared as he is now. It turns out that He Shen, who was still immature in his eyes, has grown into a tiger and can eat people.
After making this judgment, Chang Rong was not a real bitch, so naturally he had no intention of making a stab at her.
Not to mention the frightened mother and son in Jiale Hall, He Shen rushed directly to the Meng Mansion and met Uncle Zong Yan again.
"…………"
Facing this cheap uncle who was full of majesty, He Shen sighed and said.
"I'm afraid you already know everything that happened in He Mansion. The reason why you asked people to come to me is because you don't want the conflict to continue to spread, right..."
For Zong Yan, this was the third time he met He Shen. The first time he met, He Shen's pride and confidence were deeply imprinted in his heart. The second time they met, he was equally impressed.
When they met again, he thought of He Shen's many possible answers.
For example, is there any problem in the business between them? Or are you dissatisfied with him?
He had thought of all the other situations, but he never expected that He Shen would ask him in such a calm tone, even with a bit of gratitude.
"…………"
Zong Yan's momentum condensed slightly, and then quietly declined in the next moment.
I only heard Zong Yan say calmly, "My child, if it is not necessary, you'd better not really break up with Mrs. Hua."
"Filial piety has a great influence on scholars. Once you do something irreparable, your career will be ruined."
"Being born into such a family is sad in itself, but since you are born into such a family, it represents your destiny, that's it."
"If you want to change your destiny, you must work countless times harder than ordinary people."
Speaking of this, Zong Yan's eyes became more and more profound.
Looking at Zong Yan, after a long time, He Shen finally spoke, "You are right, born in this place, if I want to change my destiny, I have to work countless times harder than others.
"…………"
"Shen'er, for a big family, the most important thing is the next generation of outstanding talents!"
"However, there are so many people in the next generation of Niu Hulu, but few of them are good seedlings."
"I really don't want you to be ruined by family fighting..."
To be honest, this was the first time Zong Yan had seen such a strange old lady like Mrs. Hua.
He actually wanted to deprive his grandson of his title and property and give it to his second son, which is really laughable.
When he first heard about it, he was almost so angry that he used the clan rules to punish Mrs. Hua and Chang Rong.
No matter how you say it, he is the patriarch of the Niu Hulu clan. The nephew of the current Queen Mother, punishing Mrs. Hua and giving Chang Rong a meal is not a big deal.
Only considering that this might cause greater trouble for He Shen, the junior he was optimistic about, he suppressed his unhappiness.
Disorder between elders and young ones will bring harm to the country and the family. Doesn’t Mrs. Hua, who is nearly eighty years old, understand this truth?
"Master, that old housekeeper He Zhong wants to see you!"
It was dark, and in the evening, Chang Rong was sitting in the study thinking about something. The servant guarding outside the study door came to report.
"Well, Hezhong, what is he here for?"
Chang Rong was deeply impressed by this loyal old butler.
If this old guy hadn't been working around the two brothers He Shen and He Lin for quite some time, maybe he would have kicked out the two brothers He Shen and He Lin and turned them into beggars.
He went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but he didn't know what happened to this old guy.
"Tell him to come in!"
Chang Rong said this after hesitating for a moment.
After hearing what his master said, the book boy immediately let him go.
The old housekeeper He Zhong walked into the study, waved his hand in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and then said: "Second Master, my young master invites you!"
"What? What does that brat Heshen want from me?"
Looking at the old housekeeper He Zhong standing in front of him, Chang Rong felt inexplicably unhappy. He frowned slightly, confused in his heart, and even wanted to refuse...
However, because of some obsession with getting promoted and getting rich, Chang Rong still got up and walked outside involuntarily...
A villa outside the capital!
In a very hidden secret room.
"Second uncle, do you still remember what we talked about before? Do you want to be promoted..."
As soon as they met, He Shen changed his previous attitude of being an enemy and spoke directly with a smile on his face.
When Chang Rong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart beat for a while, obviously he was in a heartbeat.
However, he couldn't figure out Heshen's true thoughts at all. He had been dealt with severely before, so naturally he couldn't act too eager.
"Second uncle, stop pretending. Why are you pretending to be in front of me? I don't know what little little ninety-nine you have in your heart?"
He Shen glanced at his second uncle Chang Rong with contempt, and said angrily: "Let me tell you, this is a pretty good opportunity..."
"It may even leave a very good impression in Emperor Qianlong's heart!"
"…………"
"Eldest nephew, are all these things you said true?"
"This is no joke..."
Chang Rong's heart was filled with excitement, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He was just questioning the authenticity of this matter.
If he could leave a good impression in Emperor Qianlong's heart, he would be willing to pay any price.
With the four words "Jian in the Emperor's Heart", is promotion and wealth not as easy as eating and drinking?
"…………"
"Second uncle, you have to know that if you want to get this big pie that everyone wants, the price you have to pay is not light!"
Seeing that his second uncle Chang Rong was completely moved, He Shen, on his part, whetted his second uncle Chang Rong's appetite and was not in a hurry to reveal the answer to the mystery.
Facing the anxious second uncle Chang Rong, He Shen simply changed the topic and started talking in a big circle.
He said: "To be honest, I'm ready for everything, but I don't know if my second uncle Chang Rong has the determination!"
"…………"
Hearing He Shen speak so solemnly, although Chang Rong was very anxious, he still thought about it seriously for a long time.
After a long time, Chang Rong spoke: "I definitely have the determination, just say so.
He felt that no matter what price he paid, it was nothing compared to gaining Emperor Qianlong's approval.
Now, he can't wait. In his opinion, nothing in this world can be as good as promotion and wealth.
Besides, the price may not be small, but the benefits must be greater than the price. Chang Rong still knows this...
"Second uncle, you know, our Emperor Qianlong is planning to visit Jiangnan for the second time..."
"But, there is no extra money in the treasury, so this is a great opportunity..."
He Shen rubbed his fingers and said with a smile.
"The emperor is still short of money, can't he?"
When he heard that the emperor was short of money, Chang Rong didn't believe it. He frowned and didn't believe He Shen's words at all.
In his mind, the world belongs to the emperor. How can the emperor have no money? How could he have no money to use?
"Hey, the world belongs to one person. This is everyone's understanding of the emperor. But, does this world really belong to the emperor alone?"
