"Shen Xiao has a bad temper and is bewitched by women outside. He is quarreling with me. It's because I didn't educate him well and made everyone laugh!"
Shen Zhiyuan smiled reluctantly and found a reason for this farce.
"All children are like this, and so are my family. What you say can make people angry to death!"
"There is no overnight feud between father and son. It will be fine in a few days!"
Neighbors tried to persuade him.
After Shen Zhiyuan returned to the house, the neighbors did not disperse, but gathered together to chat very animatedly.
"I have told you a long time ago that Shen Peng and Shen Li look like Shen Zhiyuan, their eyebrows and eyebrows are exactly the same!"
"No wonder he is so kind to Tuoyoupin. He dares to be his own child. I have pity on this child Shen Xiao. His own mother was killed by others, and he almost died too. Thanks to this child's fate!"
"Shh, this matter hasn't happened yet, don't talk nonsense!"
"I think nine times out of ten it's true. When that pretty girl said it, Shen Xiao didn't refute it!"
"Do you still remember that Fu Bailan gave birth to Shen Ying seven months after she got married? She was said to be premature, but Shen Ying weighs eight pounds!"
"Oh my god, it's rare for a full-term baby to weigh more than eight pounds. Fu Bailan and Shen Zhiyuan have hooked up a long time ago. Bah... how shameless!"
"No wonder Fu Bailan wants to kill her sister. If she doesn't get married, she will show her pregnancy!"
"I really can't tell that this woman is poisonous!"
…
The more the neighbors gossiped, the more they believed what Tang Niannian said, and the more they became afraid of Fu Bailan.
This kind of woman is a beautiful and poisonous snake, and they cannot afford to offend her.
The door of Shen's house was closed tightly. Shen Zhiyuan was sitting in the study with a livid face. Opposite him was Fu Bailan. Shen Ying was helped by Sister Zhang to go to the room and lie down.
"What happened to Qinglan's difficult delivery?"
Shen Zhiyuan asked coldly.
"Old Shen, do you believe that wild girl's lies? My relationship with Qinglan is so good, how could I harm her? You actually think of me like this, I...what's the point of my life..."
Fu Bailan covered her face and cried sadly.
Shen Zhiyuan immediately regretted it. He shouldn't have doubted Bai Lan. Bai Lan was so kind and couldn't bear to trample the ants on the ground to death. How could he attack Qing Lan?
It's all Tang Niannian's fault that that wild girl's nonsense influenced him.
"I'm just asking, don't cry. It's all my fault. I cry so hard that my heart will break..."
Shen Zhiyuan said kind words in a low voice, and took Fu Bailan into his arms, comforting her gently.
"You have to know that I didn't have any other choice at that time, but who made me like you? I am completely devoted to you. Even if I have to bear these infamy, I will marry you. The rumors outside these years are more hurtful than swords. I I can bear it, as long as you know my thoughts, no matter how bitter it is, I will find it sweet, but...but you still think of me like this, I...what have I suffered all these years?"
Fu Bailan twisted her waist and wanted to break away, but Shen Zhiyuan held her very tightly. She twisted a few times, but finally snuggled into his arms and cried.
"It's my fault, I wrongly blamed you!"
Shen Zhiyuan was so heartbroken that he kept trying to coax him with nice words.
Together, these two people are over a hundred years old, but their bond is even stronger than that of young people.
"Xiao Xiao is a good boy. It must be that wild girl who is fanning the flames. Xiao Xiao will calm down in a few days. You and he can have a good talk. After all, they are father and son. We will definitely be able to talk things through."
Fu Bailan acted as a peacemaker and tried his best to persuade Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Xiao's father and son to reconcile.
Because she knew that the more she said this, the angrier Shen Zhiyuan would be. She felt that she was so sensible, but Shen Xiao was so rebellious. She would definitely reprimand the bastard, and then the father and son would make a big fuss again.
She has been sowing discord in these years, and the relationship between Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Xiao has become increasingly tense.
"It would be great if he was half as sensible as you, Bai Lan, you have worked hard all these years!"
Sure enough, at this moment, Shen Zhiyuan only felt that Fu Bailan had a profound understanding of justice and was considerate, while the rebellious Shen Xiao was ignorant and inferior to a beast.
Fu Bailan was secretly proud, but said: "I don't think it's hard. As long as you have me in your heart, I can endure it no matter how hard it is."
"Bai Lan..."
"Brother Yuan..."
The old couple looked at each other affectionately and hugged each other tighter and tighter, which meant that Shen Zhiyuan was not up to par, otherwise the two of them would definitely have a fight in the study.
Tang Niannian and Shen Xiao did not stay in the guest house. The Fu family has a house in the capital, which is a courtyard house. It is usually cleaned, but the bedding has not been dried, but it doesn't matter, they all stay in the house at night.
"I suspect that your mother's death is related to Fu Bailan. This relationship must be broken off!"
Tang Niannian was just guessing at first, but the performances of Shen Zhiyuan and Fu Bailan were really suspicious.
Shen Xiao's face was cold. In fact, he didn't have that deep affection for his mother. After all, he had never met her. All he knew about her was from his uncle.
My uncle said that my mother was gentle and kind. She was the best sister and definitely the best mother.
"Your mother made a lot of small clothes and knitted small sweaters. She loves you more than anyone else. If she were alive, she would definitely be the best mother in the world!" Fu Qinghan said.
Shen Xiao's feelings for his mother were slowly accumulated through Fu Qinghan's narration bit by bit.
He thought more than once that if his mother were alive, he would definitely not be abandoned in the mountains, nor would he be bullied by Shen Peng and the others.
That's why he hated Shen Zhiyuan. It was this man who ruined his mother and childhood.
Fu Bailan is certainly hateful, but Shen Zhiyuan is even more hateful.
It was this man who gave Fu Bailan the opportunity, and he was the direct source of the crime.
And his grandfather.
Tang Niannian patted him gently on the shoulder and comforted him: "Letting this family suffer is the best comfort for your mother!"
"Um!"
Shen Xiao nodded.
He will show no mercy.
It was getting dark and everyone in the city was asleep. Two black figures appeared in the Shen family yard, they were Tang Niannian and Shen Xiao.
The Shen family was in the dark, and Sister Zhang was snoring.
The two entered Shen Zhiyuan's bedroom and drugged the couple, who couldn't wake up for an hour.
Shen Ying also used medicine.
"This bed is my mother's dowry." Shen Xiao said, pointing to the bed where Shen Zhiyuan slept.
His uncle told him that as long as the furniture used by the Shen family was valuable, it was all given by his mother as a dowry.
Tang Niannian put away the red sandalwood bed without saying a word. Shen Zhiyuan and Fu Bailan threw it on the ground without even a blanket.
Dressing table, table, stool, box...
Shen Xiao pointed the finger, and Tang Niannian accepted it. Soon the furniture in Shen Zhiyuan's bedroom was empty, and the room that originally seemed a bit supportive became empty.
They went to the basement. There were several boxes inside, which were also Fu Qinglan's dowry, including silk, jewelry and ornaments. When Fu Qinglan got married, the situation was not so serious. Mr. Fu felt guilty for his daughter, so he did not give up the dowry. Less good stuff.
Tang Niannian opened the boxes one by one, checked them all, and collected them all.
But the last box is a little different.
Inside were not gold, silver and jewelry, but food stamps and cash, half a box filled with it, and a ledger.
