Shen Huaizhou asked, "Will you go back to Shen's house during the Chinese New Year?"
This tone is very bad.
Zhong Lingyu heard it like charity.
It seemed like bringing her back to the Shen family for the New Year was a gift.
Even though she knew that Shen Huaizhou definitely didn't think so in his heart, and his tone was simply unkind, Zhong Lingyu couldn't help but get angry.
Her attitude was even colder than Shen Huaizhou's, "I won't go."
Shen Huaizhou strode away.
The door was slammed hard with a loud bang.
Half a minute later, Chen Tinglan came down from the corner of the stairs and said tremblingly: "Is everything okay?"
Zhong Lingyu handed her the things he bought, "It's okay, don't worry. These are the things you just bought. Take them to the room first, and we will put up Spring Festival couplets together later."
Chen Tinglan saw that Zhong Lingyu's expression was as usual and there was nothing wrong, so he didn't say anything and went upstairs obediently.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Huaizhou went back to Shen Mansion to celebrate the festival like he had done in previous years.
However, things have changed, and some things have changed.
At the dining table, in addition to the original members of the Shen family, there were three more people, Jin Shihong, Wen Qingyu and Jin Shaotang.
Jin Shihong settled down in Yuncheng and was about to marry the Shen family, so he spent the New Year at the Shen Mansion.
According to Mrs. Shen, it’s just that there are so many people and it’s so lively.
Old people like fun the most.
Before the dinner started in the evening, Wen Qingyu chatted with the old lady of the Shen family.
Somehow, the topic came to Zhong Lingyu.
Wen Qingyu looked sad but generous, "I have always known about Zhong Lingyu's existence, but I also know that it is most normal for a man of Huaizhou's status to have three wives and four concubines. I can become Huaizhou's fiancée, It’s very satisfying.”
Regardless of whether Wen Qingyu was sincere or not, these words really touched the heart of the old lady of the Shen family.
It doesn't matter if her grandchildren have more or less women, the most important thing is to be harmonious.
"You child, you have been sensible since you were a child." Mrs. Shen patted Wen Qingyu's hand.
Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "As long as it's for Huaizhou's good, I'm willing to do anything."
Her tone was slightly restrained, and she suddenly added: "However, I have recently heard some bad rumors about Huaizhou..."
He hesitates to speak, which is the most heart-wrenching thing.
What's more, this is a matter involving her own grandson. Even if Mrs. Shen knew about Wen Qingyu's change of conversation, she must have some small thoughts, and she had to ask, "What rumors?"
"Sister Lingyu is very talented and was assigned to work in the military government. It is said that she is still in an important position that can affect the entire Yuncheng economy."
Before Wen Qingyu finished speaking, Mrs. Shen's face darkened, "A female family member went to the military government to show her face. What did she say and when did it happen?"
"I only heard about it a few days before the Chinese New Year." Wen Qingyu carefully observed Mrs. Shen's face, "Furthermore, after Zhong Lingyu went to serve in the military government, she had a close relationship with Mr. Wu Shihui, the chief economic officer. Many people have spread the word, saying...saying..."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Shen looked unhappy.
"It was said that Zhong Lingyu and Mr. Wu were having an affair, and they secretly laughed at the young commander for being toyed with by a woman..."
"Nonsense!" Old Mrs. Shen tapped her cane hard, furious.
Wen Qingyu quickly comforted her and said, "Grandma, don't be angry. Be careful of your anger damaging your own health."
Mrs. Shen stood up with a cane and went directly to the front yard.
"Grandma, where are you going?" Wen Qingyu went to help her.
Mrs. Shen gently pushed her away and said, "My child, you go to the garden for a walk."
"Sorry, grandma, I shouldn't have said this in front of you." Wen Qingyu looked guilty.
There was water in her eyes, "I made you worry."
Mrs. Shen has lived for most of her life and is also a good person.
Whether it was just gossiping or provocation, her mind was as clear as a mirror.
She was not in a good mood, and she was not very kind to Wen Qingyu. "Since knowing these things will make me, an old woman, worried, there is no need to tell me these nonsense things in the future."
With that said, with the help of the servant, Old Mrs. Shen went to the front yard with a cold face.
The water in Wen Qingyu's eyes disappeared in an instant.
She stared at Old Mrs. Shen's rickety body and cursed in her heart: This old immortal thing had better not survive tomorrow.
Old Mrs. Shen didn't know, Wen Qingyu cursed her in his heart.
There is only one thing on her mind right now: Zhong Lingyu is a female family member who not only shows up in public, but also has scandals with other men.
Furious, Mrs. Shen ignored the guards' obstruction and pushed open the study door.
At this time, Marshal Shen and Shen Huaizhou were talking about official business.
The father and son were thinking about who was brave enough to break in and interrupt their conversation.
When she saw it was Mrs. Shen, her attitude immediately became respectful.
Shen Huaizhou stood up and said, "Grandma!"
Marshal Shen, who is usually arrogant, also lowered his posture to greet me, "Mother, why are you here?"
"I have something to ask you." Mrs. Shen looked serious.
Marshal Shen helped the old lady sit on the sofa, "Mom, please tell me."
"Whose idea was it for Zhong Lingyu, a yellow-haired girl, to serve in the military government?" Mrs. Shen said in a sharp tone.
Shen Huaizhou walked up to Mrs. Shen and said, "Grandma, this is my idea."
Mrs. Shen picked up the crutch and hit Shen Huaizhou on the leg.
After all, it was her own grandson. The old lady didn't use too much force, but her tone was still not good, "Do you know what you are doing? With such a big Shen family, it is impossible that there is no male who can take charge of the matter. We have to have one." The female family members go out to show their faces, I think you are out of your mind."
Shen Huaizhou spoke for Zhong Lingyu, "Grandma, the world is different now. It is normal for women to work outside the home."
"There's no need to go to such an important place as the military government." Mrs. Shen was angry.
Shen Huaizhou said: "Lingyu is brave and smart, not inferior to men. She works in the military government and helps a lot. My grandmother also said before that it would be good to let Lingyu assist me."
"What's good?" Old Mrs. Shen became even more angry, "The assistant I said was to let her take care of the backyard for you, not to let her come out to show off. Even though, as you said, it is common for women to work now, but Zhong Ling Yuzai has scandals with other men in the military government, can you tolerate this?"
Shen Huaizhou frowned, "Who is gossiping behind your back?"
"Don't worry about who is gossiping." Old Mrs. Shen said with a sullen face, "I think you should get Zhong Lingyu home as soon as possible. If the rumors spread so badly, do you still want the Shen family's face?"
Shen Huaizhou pondered for a moment, "Grandma, I believe in Ling Yu's character. She will not do anything sorry to me."
Because of Zhong Lingyu's decisiveness and wisdom in the previous meeting, Marshal Shen also gained a lot of glory and was praised by many colleagues, saying that he was not stick to the world and had a sharp eye for pearls.
He admired Zhong Lingyu very much and did not believe the rumors, so he also spoke for Zhong Lingyu, "Mother, there is nothing to be afraid of rumors. If you are really angry, after this year, I will go and investigate thoroughly, and I will definitely investigate the rumors." The offenders will be severely punished without credit."
The implication is that Marshal Shen still wants Zhong Lingyu to stay in the military government.
The old lady was reluctant to hit her grandson, so she directly hit her son with a cane.
Marshal Shen jumped in fright.
