Chapter 118: Threats

When Kang Er was taken back to the Scholar Academy by Chu Yiyao, he was already full, Chu Yiyao was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable in his stomach, so he didn't let him drink the milk before going to bed, the little guy walked around happily with his feet on the soft cushion and his hand on the railing, yawned halfway, and looked at Chu Yiyao sleepily.

"I finally know that I'm sleepy," Chu Yiyao pinched his face and let the nurse take him to sleep, Kang'er lay on the nurse's shoulder, waved her little hand at Chu Yiyao, squinted her eyes and soon fell asleep.

After another half an hour, Shen Shixuan came back.

After washing up with some wine, Chu Yiyao asked Ping'er to go to the small kitchen to bring the hot porridge, "Just see that you have drunk with your grandfather, eat something to warm your stomach." โ€

Shen Shixuan was indeed hungry, and drank two bowls of porridge, at this time, the sound of fireworks had sounded outside the window, and when he opened the window, he saw that the sky was gorgeous, and the fireworks in the sky continued to illuminate the night.

"Grandfather talked about Dingyue Building, saying that he saw that your restaurant was well taken care of, and he wanted to hand it over to you to take care of it." After washing, the two of them lay down, and Shen Shixuan told her what Old Man Shen said at the reunion dinner.

"I don't want to touch the Shen family's industry." Chu Yiyao refused, "I can't keep myself busy, and if I really accept these things, I can't let the big house say no, it's thankless." โ€

"At the beginning of the year, the eldest brother should go back to Huizhou." The husband and wife have the same idea, Shen Shixuan has to fight, and his wife's does not need to interfere. The daughter-in-law who married in meddled in the Shen family's business, no matter how justifiable it was, even if it was done well, it would be true.

Chu Yiyao raised his head slightly, "Is he refusing to let go?" โ€

Shen Shixuan nodded, "With such a big sum, he naturally refuses to let go, and if he does a good job, he has the ability, but in fact, it is difficult to ride a tiger." "If you don't do it after two years, doesn't it show that Shen Shijin is incapable, just relying on the Shen family's background.

Chu Yiyao really didn't want to get involved in this kind of fight for family property, with this little bit of idle work, she would have been able to do a lot of money-making business outside, so she hooked his clothes, "Why don't you go and tell your father next year, let's go out separately." โ€

Shen Shixuan remembered that she had dispelled this year half a year ago, why did she give birth again now, touched her cheek and asked softly, "What's wrong?" โ€

"It's not that I look down on Yue'er's child, according to the eldest aunt's hair, this child may not be a virtue with Cao San in the future, the old man's body is still tough, if he waits for him to leave and then separate, I don't know how many years I will stay, Kang'er has grown up, we can't stare at it all the time, I don't want to leave others in this Shen Mansion a chance to harm him." When she was in her womb, she could do things to prevent her from giving birth, and when the child grew up to be better than that person's grandson, maybe that person would think of something.

Chu Yiyao's meaning is also clear enough, either a quick decision, and the Shen family, who is ruthless, is too difficult according to the current situation, and the old man Shen is still there.

Either they will go out separately and go their own way, she has never been blushing at these things of the Shen family, and it is more comfortable to live by herself in a separate family.

"I thought about the separation of the family you said, even if my father agreed, my grandfather would not agree." Shen Shixuan sighed, looking at the understanding in her eyes, "Even if he doesn't want a penny, he won't agree, as soon as he talks about the ancestral family law, his father will definitely compromise, and filial piety comes first, if he talks too much, won't it make them feel that they are cursing their grandfather to die early." โ€

This can't do that, Chu Yiyao was not happy, and pushed him angrily, "I don't care, in this Shen family, whoever is willing to stay is staying." โ€

"Yiyao~" Shen Shixuan shouted to her helplessly, but Chu Yiyao looked at him with a glare, "There is no discussion about this matter, since the eldest brother is going to Huizhou, you will do everything you need to do, either grab it or go, there is no other choice!" โ€

Shen Shixuan smiled, she wanted to pull her but she refused, the two of them tossed in the bed, and he finally hugged her, "You said how can you be like a little robber, either leave things behind, or leave things and your life." โ€

Chu Yiyao snorted with a stiff neck, "What's wrong with me being a robber, when I don't take a detour, you bump into the door, don't you just send it to the door and wait to be robbed, let me tell you, I won't give this mulberry land, and I won't give it favors, what's wrong with the imperial businessman, wait for the one in your palace to go, see who you find!" โ€

She didn't believe it, she dared to break the jar, the Shen family dared?

"Good, good! I'll figure it out! Shen Shixuan knew that she didn't mean to be joking, so he hugged her and hurriedly agreed, Chu Yiyao reached out and pinched his face, and repeated word by word, "You have to find a way!" โ€

"Okay, I've got to figure it out." Shen Shixuan frowned painfully and agreed.

Chu Yiyao let go of his hand, smiled with satisfaction, touched his pinched cheeks, turned his back to him and yawned, "Okay, sleep, I'm going to get up tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings." โ€

The residual heat on her face did not subside, Shen Shixuan sighed lightly in the dark, and reached out to wrap her waist around her, next year will be busy...

The couple here had just figured out a way, and the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and something happened on the other side.

At the beginning of the year, Shen Shijin had just decided to go to Huizhou to personally manage the branch, and in mid-January, there was a cold wave in the spring, and Mr. Shen fell ill.

Old man Shen has not been sick for more than ten years, but he can't get out of bed when he is sick, and the doctor said that the cold has hurt his body and needs to be recuperated.

Even if he was in good health in the past, his age was there, and it was not easy to get well when he got sick, for fear that this typhoid fever would infect others, Old Man Shen still didn't let Chu Yiyao and them go to see it.

It wasn't until the beginning of February that Mr. Shen was allowed to visit after half a month.

When Chu Yiyao went in and saw Old Man Shen, he was a little frightened, the person who was originally stiff and strong, but now he was sick, and his emaciated eye sockets had sunken, but his eyes showed no signs of depression, and the cheeks with less flesh were even more aggressive.

"Sit down." Old man Shen pointed to the position not far from the bed, his voice was loud but a little empty, after Chu Yiyao sat down, Steward Jiang took the waiting mother out, leaving Old Man Shen and Chu Yiyao in the room.

"Grandfather, do you feel better?" Guessing that he had something to say, Chu Yiyao still cared about his body first, and Old Man Shen waved his hand, "It's much better, Yiyao, grandfather has something to tell you." โ€

"Grandfather, please speak."

Old Man Shen took out a box from the inside of the bed, and there was a letter in it, he took it out and handed it to Chu Yiyao, "The matter of the imperial concubine, Shixuan, that kid must have mentioned it to you." โ€

Chu Yiyao opened the letter half a year ago, about the construction of the recuperation palace.

"It's this year that the emperor will send someone to come and see the place, and the one selected is the land in Sangtian." Old Man Shen looked at Chu Yiyao's reaction, she folded the letter after reading it, looked up and smiled, "That's good, Sangtian is in Jinling, and it can also benefit the people of Jinling." โ€

"Girl, the land of the mulberry field is in your hands."

Chu Yiyao neither admitted nor denied it, but said, "If the palace is built in Sangtian, it should be able to make a lot of money, and the emperor should not be a stingy person." โ€

Seeing that she refused to speak, Old Man Shen sighed slightly, "The emperor is not a stingy person, but this mulberry field can not only earn silver, but it can also obtain a lot more." โ€

Chu Yiyao smiled and said sincerely at Old Man Shen's gaze, "But I only need silver, nothing else." โ€

Old Man Shen didn't expect her to be so tough, and slowly explained to her the power of this, "If the land of Sangtian is offered, the emperor will remember our Shen family, and the position of the Shen family, the imperial businessman, can be more solid." โ€

"That was when the imperial concubine was still alive, once the imperial concubine passed away, she did not leave a son and a half daughter, what did the emperor rely on to take care of the old love." At that time, even if the emperor wants to take care of him, there will be a large group of people behind him, and it is absolutely impossible to continue the position of the emperor and businessman by relying on that old feeling.

Chu Yiyao looked at Old Man Shen's slightly sinking face, and then spoke, "Unless my grandfather can promise me one thing." โ€

"Girl, you are married to Shi Xuan, and now you are also from the Shen family." Old Man Shen expected that he would come forward to let this girl enter the door, she should thank him, the biggest use of Sangtian's land for her is just more silver, which is a great advantage to the Shen family, and she will not understand the truth of this if she is so smart.

"Grandfather, when I marry Shixuan, don't you have anything else in mind?" Chu Yiyao directly pointed through his thoughts, Old Man Shen was stunned, and then a smile flashed in his eyes, "That also helped the two of you." โ€

"Then grandfather, you might as well help more now." Chu Yiyao didn't have much sacrifice for the Shen family, and she was very disdainful of the eldest aunt's behavior, "I can give the land of Sangtian to the Shen family when the time comes, but I have to let Shixuan send it to the people sent by the emperor." โ€

"That's it," Old Man Shen said with a smile on his face, his hand gently touching the wrench on his thumb, "I can promise you." โ€

"Of course, there is more than this, there is one more thing, since grandfather wants to watch the eldest brother compete with Shixuan, then please grandfather sit and watch, don't interfere, in the future, who will be in charge of the Shen family, it is up to you grandfather what you thought at the beginning."

Old Man Shen's face changed slightly, and there was a chill in his eyes, "What if I don't agree?" โ€

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree, there is still a choice, then ask your grandfather to allow the division of the family, you can give as much as you want, you will give this grandfather of the Shen family to the eldest brother, and Shixuan will not accompany him, after all, we can't do this kind of thing well to spur the eldest brother, in case the merit is high, the eldest brother is not happy." Since she married into the Shen family, what the old man Shen said was good, but what could be done was to use Shixuan to stimulate Shen Shijin three or four times, so that Shen Shijin was frustrated, and then stood up and worked hard.

Sparring partners also charge money.

After a long time, Old Man Shen squinted at her, "Girl, you are threatening the old man." โ€

"Threat or not, look at what you think, grandfather, if you really want Shixuan to carry forward the Shen family, you should also let it go, if you are still hesitant in your heart and can't choose, you should let go and watch, the one who wins is always the most suitable." Chu Yiyao had a smile on her face, she was not like the Shen family who were afraid of the majesty of the old man Shen, she believed that in the old man's heart, the interests of the Shen family were greater than everything.

Old Man Shen looked at the confidence in her eyes, and suddenly seemed to see his daughter back then, telling himself her thoughts with high spirits, and he saw the shadow of Shen Qianyuan from Chu Yiyao's body.

The room was quiet for a while, and after a long time, Old Man Shen turned his head to look at the inside of the bed, with a little appreciation and regret in his eyes, and finally said, "I can promise you." โ€

It wasn't until Chu Yiyao left for half an hour that Old Man Shen called Steward Jiang in, looking at Steward Jiang, Old Man Shen wondered for the first time his original decision, "Am I too greedy." โ€

His favorite person has always been the eldest grandson, because his temperament is most similar to himself, and then gradually found that the eldest grandson is too self-confident in business and is too proud, so he wants Shi Xuan to balance Shi Jin, and use his younger brother's success to stimulate Shi Jin to realize his own shortcomings.

And seeing that Shi Xuan is doing better and better, he is indeed hesitant, this Shen family may Shi Xuan will do better than Shi Jin, but the heir he has cultivated has given up like this, and the old man Shen has a lot of reluctance in his heart.

That's why he kept bringing the second room again and again.

"The master just wants the Shen family to get better and better." Steward Jiang helped him up, and Old Man Shen let out a long sigh, "I really don't care about it this time." "I can't take care of it...

After waiting for Shen Shixuan to come back at night, Chu Yiyao stuffed a box into his arms, which contained a thick stack of silver tickets, looking at the cunning in Chu Yiyao's eyes, Shen Shixuan teased her, "Why are you willing to take out so much silver for me?" โ€

"Don't you remember what Bai Jingming said after the caravan came back?" Chu Yiyao sat there and gently knocked on the table with one hand, Shen Shixuan thought for a while, "Please let me drink and chat?" โ€

Chu Yiyao shook his head, and Shen Shixuan added, "Thank you for telling me early and sparing the people of the caravan?" โ€

"That's right, that's it, now it's time for him to repay you for saving your life." Chu Yiyao nodded and pointed to the box stuffed into him, "He is the eldest grandson of the Bai family, and he is only a single seedling, in addition to the Bai family's accident, he must also have a lot of business in private." โ€

Shen Shixuan saw that she suddenly wanted to say this, so he simply sat down and listened to her, "It would be better if the two families could cooperate on the surface, since the eldest brother can cooperate with the Shui family to open a branch, you can also cooperate with the Bai family." โ€

"What did grandfather say to you?" Shen Shixuan quickly guessed the key, Chu Yiyao smiled, leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

Shen Shixuan looked at her in surprise, "You threaten grandfather?" โ€

Chu Yiyao blinked undeniably, and the corners of her mouth raised a touch of pride, "How can this be considered a threat, since he originally had the idea that it was not inherited by the eldest grandson, isn't it time for you to be separated from the eldest brother?" โ€

"I'm amazed at how my grandfather promised you." According to his grandfather's temperament, his wife would probably make him angry when he said this, and it was hard to believe that he agreed so easily.

Chu Yiyao seemed to have some truth when he heard him say this, and swept away the doubts in his heart, "There's nothing to think about, since grandfather agreed, you just do it, as long as you can negotiate with Bai Jingming, grandfather can allow the eldest brother to cooperate with the Shui family, and he will definitely agree to you to cooperate with the Bai family and compete fairly!" โ€

Shen Shixuan looked at the glittering brilliance in her eyes, just like when she first met her, she said to herself in the teahouse about Heichuan dividends.

"Are you listening?" Chu Yiyao looked up at him halfway through speaking, and found that he was distracted, stretched out his hand and shook it, Shen Shixuan smiled, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes, he took her hand and squeezed it gently, "I'm listening." โ€

Chu Yiyao was a little embarrassed by him, withdrew his hand and coughed lightly, "I'll go and see if Kang'er is asleep." โ€

As soon as the words fell, he was pulled back by Shen Shixuan, and that familiar aura came to his face, Chu Yiyao narrowed his eyes slightly and dodged, and nudged him, "Don't make trouble." โ€

Shen Shixuan was willing to let go, imprisoned her in his arms and hugged her, "Look what, there is a nurse here." โ€

Chu Yiyao pushed him not to move, and in a blink of an eye, he was pressed on the bed, and beat him hatefully, "I'm about to speak." โ€

Shen Shixuan grabbed her hand and raised it above her head, "It's not a bad day." The other hand expertly unbuttoned her collar.

Baosheng outside heard this movement and closed the door directly, Chu Yiyao gritted his teeth and did not gasp, his chest was cold, and he muttered hooliganism as he pressed the voice.

Shen Shixuan was extremely familiar with her body, and in a moment, the voice that came out of the mouth became a mumble, and the inside of the bed was beautiful......

A few days later, Shen Shixuan went to find Bai Jingming, and the other three families in Jinling all had business dealings, but this Bai family had always been alone.

Through the caravan's friendship, Shen Shixuan and Bai Jingming said that business matters are much easier, and mutual cooperation must be mutually beneficial, and Shen Shixuan's idea Bai Jingming is also very interested.

After going back and forth like this, at the beginning of March, Bai Jingming gave Shen Shixuan a response, the Bai family could cooperate with the Shen family, and in private, he was also willing to cooperate with Shen Shixuan.

Shen Shixuan didn't delay time, and quickly explained the matter of this cooperation to Old Man Shen.

Old man Shen thought about it for half a month, and promised Shen Shixuan in public at the family banquet in mid-March, how much silver was allocated to Shen Shijin for cooperation with the Shui family, and now how much silver is allocated to Shen Shixuan for cooperation with the Bai family, there is no bias.

Old Man Shen's promise was like a stone falling on the surface of a lake, breaking the balance maintained by the Shen family on the surface, and putting the dispute between the two houses on the table...
