"Ahem!"
Seeing that Xu Changqing was going too far, Sheng Changquan couldn't help coughing twice as a reminder.
"Well!"
After all, Xu Changqing had been following Sheng Changquan for a long time, so he naturally knew that his son was expressing dissatisfaction, so he stopped talking and gave up the C position to him obediently.
"Sun Xiucai, you don't have to take what my book boy says seriously!"
Sheng Changquan passed Xu Changqing and walked in front of Sun Zhigao, his tone was very gentle.
"However, although this guy's words are unpleasant, there is some truth in them."
"If your family doesn't have Qiqigen, then even if Mei Niang enters the door of your Sun family and gives birth to your Sun family's child, so what?"
"I can't get into the family tree, and I can't get the household registration!"
Sheng Changquan expressed his deep sympathy and continued: "When the time comes, it would be better not to give birth to a child!"
"Am I right?"
"Sun Xiucai?"
"you!"
Sun Zhigao's face turned pale when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything at all.
Because he really didn't know what Sheng Changquan wanted to do to him or his child?
Over the years, he was not at all aware of the reasons for his children's difficulties.
He could even vaguely guess that the reason why it was difficult to conceive offspring had a high probability to occur in himself.
After all, it's not like he hasn't found other women besides Shulan over the years.
If Shulan was the only one who had no children, she could be blamed for it. However, apart from her, Sun Zhigao had also been childless with other women over the years.
As soon as this situation occurred, Sun Zhigao immediately realized the key.
Therefore, when Sun Zhigao learned that Mei Niang was pregnant, he was so crazy and determined to bring her into the Sun family.
Not for anything else, just for the possible male of the Sun family in her belly.
Of course, he had doubts about whether the child in Mei Niang's belly was his, but no matter what, as long as there was a little hope, Sun Zhigao would never give up.
"Oh, right!"
Sheng Changquan paid no attention to the sharply changing expression on Sun Zhigao's face at this time, and just smiled calmly and said: "Sun Xiucai, in fact, you can also try to bribe people in the Tong Yamen and ask them to open up your family's network. "
"This method is feasible, but it is a bit dangerous."
"If someone reports it, it may cause more harm than gain to your Sun family!"
Sheng Changquan smiled and said the consequences of this method: "Not only will the children not be able to register, but even you, a scholar, will have to be raped!"
"At that time, your Sun family..."
"It's just a disaster!"
Sheng Changquan walked up to Sun Huang and Sun Zhigao and gently revealed the outcome that their family was most afraid of.
"Sheng Changquan, you...don't even think about threatening us!"
Hearing what Sheng Changquan said, Sun Zhigao's reaction was huge!
His eyes widened, and he immediately turned red like an anxious rabbit!
"Sheng Changquan!"
Sun Zhigao barely stood still, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, saying: "I...I don't believe it!"
"You, the second wife of the Sheng family, would be willing to marry a girl with a big family, regardless of the century-old reputation of the Sheng family!"
"Forcing my Sun family to write this and Li Shu!"
Sun Zhigao looked stern but wanted to threaten Sheng Changquan with the final blow to make him change his mind: "Sheng Changquan, let me tell you, if you really piss me off, the worst we can do is break up and no one can get away with it!"
"Even if my family doesn't get what they want, your Sheng family can't get away with it!"
"When the time comes, let's not talk about what the reputation of you Sheng family girls will be like. Let's just say that the Sheng family is stigmatized as one who uses power to suppress others. You will definitely not be able to escape it!"
"Are you...really willing to do this?"
Sun Zhigao looked fierce, but he was a little desperate.
However, Sheng Changquan still maintained his smiling face, as if he didn't take Sun Zhigao's threat to heart at all.
"You heard..."
Just when Sun Zhigao was about to say something again, Sheng Changquan spoke first.
"Alas~"
"Sun Xiucai, this is not what you said!"
At this time, Sheng Changquan was like a big villain, still smiling slightly, and said: "Besides, let's not talk about whether what you said, Sun Xiucai, will happen!"
"But what will happen to your Sun family after that?"
Sheng Changquan squinted his eyes, looked at the Sun family mother and son opposite, and said, "No matter what, our Sheng family still has some background. Even if it was a bit stigmatized at that time, it doesn't hurt."
"At the very least, our family can still live a life of good food and clothing!"
"But!"
"Where is your Sun family?"
Sun Zhigao's face changed. He suddenly became much paler and no longer had the firm look he had before.
As for his mother, Sun Huang, it was even more unbearable. She immediately turned pale. She looked as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, without any blood!
"Son……"
Sheng Changquan noticed that Sun Huang seemed to have secretly pulled Sun Zhigao's sleeve, as if he had something to say.
"If nothing else, if our two families really fall out, your Sun family will definitely be in even worse trouble!"
Sheng Changquan pretended not to notice Sun Huang's mother and son's little actions, but still said cruelly: "First of all, you must return Sister Shulan's dowry!"
"Secondly, since the reputation of our Sheng family has been ruined, our family will definitely not let you go!"
"Don't talk about my father's status as a fifth-rank imperial official, but just talk about my second brother's status as a new scholar, he will definitely crush you!"
"Fifth grade? Jinshi?"
After hearing these two terms mentioned by Sheng Changquan, Sun Zhigao finally understood the confidence of the second wife of the Sheng family.
Although he also knew that the master of the second room of the Sheng family seemed to be a capital official, he did not know the specific rank.
Because Shulan was not a person who liked to show off and had never mentioned what kind of official her second uncle was in the capital, Sun Zhigao didn't even know that Sheng Hong was a fifth-grade noble.
After all, judging others by oneself, Sun Zhigao thought, if it wasn't because Sheng Hong's rank was too low, how could Shulan have remained silent?
Although it is said that the capital officials are better than the local officials, if they cannot reach a certain stage, then sometimes the capital officials will not be able to speak as well as the local officials.
It was only because of this that Sun Zhigao dared to bully Shulan like this.
"Oh, right!"
As if he was afraid that Sun Zhigao would not be stimulated enough, Sheng Changquan continued: "Sun Xiucai, I forgot to tell you!"
"Actually, my second brother's wife, my second sister-in-law, is the legitimate daughter of the Hai family in Haizhou."
"Tell me, what if the Hai family knew that their uncle, my second brother, had his career affected because of your Sun family!"
"What do you think they will do?"
Sheng Changquan smiled half-heartedly and made the most vicious threat in the most concerned tone.
Behind him, Xu Changqing looked at his young master with an annoyed look on his face, but he was constantly slandering him in his heart!
"You clearly said you can't use your power to overwhelm others, and you can't force the Sun family, but in the end, aren't you doing all these things yourself?"
"It's true that only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps!"
Behind Sheng Changquan, Xu Changqing stared at him with a pair of bull's eyes, "viciously", as if he wanted to attack the other person with his eyes to vent his anger.
"Hai family?"
For the first time, Sun Zhigao had some wavering thoughts in his heart.
The Hai family in Haizhou is different from the Sheng family. They are famous people who have passed down poetry and calligraphy for many years. They are literary aristocrats respected and admired by all scholars.
In fact, it is the Haijia Bookstore, which is a holy place in the hearts of countless students and an inviolable pure land.
For Sun Zhigao, if the Hai family wanted to deal with him, it would be really easy.
As long as someone from the Hai family releases a little bit of news, Sun Zhigao will definitely not end well.
"Also, one last piece of news!"
Sheng Changquan raised his index finger and said the last sentence to Sun Zhigao and his son: "That is, the root of Mei Niang's body is in my hand."
"For the sake of the friendship between our Sheng family and the Sun family, I bought back Miss Mei Niang's body certificate from Chunxiang Tower!"
As he spoke, he took out a thin piece of white paper from his arms and waved it twice so that the other party could see it but not touch it. More importantly, it ensured that the other party could clearly see the content on it.
"this?"
"This is?"
Even though he had lost his sense of proportion, when he saw the seal representing the county government, Sun Zhigao finally felt despair.
"How can it be?"
"how come?"
"..."
At this time, even though Sun Huang was supporting him from behind, Sun Zhigao still collapsed on the ground limply, with a look of despair.
"Son?"
"Son..."
And seeing Sun Zhigao like this, Sun Huang was even more panicked!
She quickly hugged Sun Zhigao, crying and saying some words that were incomprehensible.
Sheng Changquan listened carefully and found that it seemed to be a dialect from Youyang's side, and its general meaning was to persuade Sun Zhigao to admit defeat and stop embarrassing Sheng Changquan.
Not only was it a pity, Sun Zhigao was still collapsed on the ground at this time, without any reaction, as if he had been stunned!
"Master!"
Xu Changqing took a step forward at this time, approached Sheng Changquan, and whispered: "Master, this Sun Xiucai seems to be scared!"
"What are we going to do next?"
"Should we wait until tomorrow when he recovers and we can come again?"
Xu Changqing frowned and looked at Sun Zhigao, with some hesitation on his face.
However, Sheng Changquan rejected Xu Changqing's suggestion.
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan smiled softly: "Changqing, look carefully, our Sun Xiucai is not the kind of person who gets scared casually!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Xu Changqing's eyes widened, as if he had guessed the meaning of his young master's words.
"Master, are you saying that this guy is just faking it?"
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan did not answer, but took a leisurely step forward, walked to Sun Zhigao, and leaned down.
"What...what do you want?"
Seeing that Sheng Changquan continued to press forward, Mrs. Sun Huang quickly turned her head around, protecting her son while whispering threats to Sheng Changquan.
"I...I'm telling you...don't mess around..."
"My son...my son...but Master Xiucai...you..."
"How about it?"
"Sun Xiucai, do you think my sister Shulan can reconcile this time?"
Sheng Changquan ignored Sun Huang, and just said jokingly to Sun Zhigao, who was pretending to be stupid: "Or are you, Sun Zhigao, so willing to confront our Sheng family head-on?"
Sun Zhigao still pretended to be absent-minded and did not move.
"Haha, Sun Zhigao, I'll tell you one last time!"
"If you don't reply to me within three breaths, then I will treat you as declaring war on our Sheng family!"
Sheng Changquan did not coddle Sun Zhigao, but just kept counting on his own.
"one!"
Sun Zhigao didn't move.
"two!"
Sun Zhigao was still pretending to be dead.
"three……"
As soon as the word "three" was spoken, Sheng Changquan straightened up, turned around and walked out!
Judging from his hurried and neat posture, he was afraid that he was really going to confront the Sun family openly and fiercely as he said!
"Wait!"
The word "three" hadn't been completely forgotten in Sheng Changquan's mouth, and Sun Zhigao finally stopped pretending to be dead!
"I promise to make peace with Shulan!"
Sun Zhigao's dissatisfied but helpless voice suddenly sounded behind Sheng Changquan.
"Oh? Have you thought about it?"
Sheng Changquan turned around and looked at Sun Zhigao, who was sitting on the ground and had "recovered" for some time, and said quietly: "Once you reconcile, don't think about bringing this matter to bear on us again in the future. The Sheng family?"
"Otherwise, I can guarantee that your end will definitely be even worse!"
A fierce look flashed in Sheng Changquan's eyes!
"I... admit it!"
Sun Zhigao lowered his head, but did not see anything strange about Sheng Changquan.
He slowly stood up from the ground, but he was no longer as angry as before. He just said helplessly: "However, I have two conditions!"
Before Sheng Changquan could speak, Sun Zhigao immediately stated his bottom line.
"First of all, you have to return Meiniang's body and deeds to me. Secondly, Shulan's dowry must also be kept!"
"no!"
After hearing the first condition, Sheng Changquan could agree, but not the following.
"Sister Shulan's dowry cannot be left to you!"
Sun Zhigao's expression changed, but his face suddenly became much gloomier: "Then I..."
"At the very least, we can't keep them all!"
Seeing Sun Zhigao's reaction, Sheng Changquan immediately changed his tune and said: "Keep half at most!"
"Otherwise, our two families will fight each other with open swords and guns, and let's see who will suffer the loss when the time comes!"
Seeing the situation like this, Sun Zhigao pondered for a long time, and in the end he could only hold his nose and respond.
"good!"
Seeing Sun Zhigao nodding, Sheng Changquan also smiled.
"In that case, I have to make a condition!"
