Even though the incident took place in a temple, gossip spread at an alarming rate. Shen Pei and Shen Ze hadn't arrived home yet, and the peachy incident that had just happened between him and Miss Zou had already reached the ears of some of the most well-informed people in Beijing.

With the mentality of not being afraid of the high stage when watching the play, these gossip people soon sent news to the two "kind" places of the Weiguo Mansion and the Zou family.

So, when Shen Pei returned home, he was greeted only by Wei Guogong's family law without saying a word.

Shen Hao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, not only did it not play any role, but he was implicated by his brother and received several whips.

Shen Bin was so tired that he couldn't lift his hand before he gave up. With a dark face, he instructed his subordinates to pass a message to the princess, and immediately contacted the iceman to prepare for the Zou family's marriage proposal tomorrow.

Turning his head to face the two concubines who were still kneeling on the ground, his face did not improve at all, and he ordered coldly: "Take the second young master to my study and help the third young master go down to rest." ”

One word difference, the treatment of the two brothers is completely different. Shen Hao was carried back to his yard in a soft sedan chair, and Shen Pei, who was covered in injuries, was carried to the study.

Shen Bin, who stepped into the study one step earlier, sat behind the desk, watched expressionlessly as his subordinates helped Shen Pei to sit on the chair opposite, poured tea and retired, never saying a word.

In his unrecognizable gaze, Shen Pei was still grinning and pretending to be pitiful at first, but after getting no response, he slowly calmed down, gradually removed his disguise, and felt uneasy.

In panic, he was the first to break the silence.

"Father, listen to me, this time it was really an accident, I really didn't mean to damage Miss Zou's reputation."

Shen Bin narrowed his eyes, and his tone was full of undisguised disgust: "I want to cover up!" ”

He is not good at intrigue, and he hates this, but after experiencing Xiao Fei's family, except for Shen Ze and Bi Tuo and Minyi, who wholeheartedly defended him in times of trouble, the defense line in his heart for the rest of the people is higher than anyone else. Zhihua's sincerity can't break down this line of defense, let alone Shen Pei, who is already ill-intentioned?

Shen Pei didn't expect his father to be so difficult to fool now, and he was still defending his dying struggle: "Children don't dare to lie." It was raining suddenly, and the child ......"

"Enough!" Shen Bin couldn't help but let out a loud shout, interrupting his performance. "It's such a coincidence, whose reputation you have is bad, but you want to bad the reputation of Mrs. Zou's granddaughter! Do you really think that marrying her gives you the right to fight for something that doesn't belong to you? Wish for the moon! ”

Shen Pei's sincere expression froze on his face, his eyes flickered, and he felt a little weak no matter how he looked at it. "The child doesn't dare."

"Do you dare to know best in your own heart! I don't care what you have behind your back, now I tell you plainly, the position of Wei Guogong, you don't want to get involved in this life! You ruined Miss Zou's reputation, and I, who is a father, have to wipe your ass and come to the door to propose marriage, but don't think that you can be satisfied in this way! After getting married, you immediately gave me a separate pass. ”

Shen Pei exclaimed unexpectedly: "Split?"

It's no wonder that he is so out of shape, he has always been a child and secretly wants to split the family, and few parents take the initiative to propose it. Generally, when the parents are living and the son is separated, the world will criticize the unfilial piety of the son, so that the elders can't bear it.

"Father, what should others think of the child if you do this? The child asks himself if he has never been disobedient to you, can you bear such an unfilial reputation on the child's back? ”

Shen Bin was unmoved and smiled coldly. "You can't bear to plot the title I passed on to your brother-in-law, what else can I bear."

It's the difference between the concubines and the concubines, and it's this kind of disgusted gaze like looking at superfluous garbage, Shen Pei's heart throbs, and he can no longer hold back the unwillingness he has suppressed in his heart since he was sensible, and he raised his neck and roared out in his heart: "Is the distinction between concubines and concubines so important?" My brother and I, apart from our unchangeable background, are any worse than our eldest brother? Are we not your own sons? I remember, when you were a child, you also loved us very much, why did everything change later? ”

"Hehe, it turns out that you still remember my love for you when I was a child......" Shen Bin suddenly laughed out loud, and at the end of the laugh, tears flowed out. Then you say it yourself, when your eldest brother and I were persecuted by that slut from the Xiao Fei clan, what were you two doing? Do you dare to sue me with a clear conscience, and you don't know anything from beginning to end? Do you dare to swear to God, when that slut was plotting for you to usurp my title, you didn't care about your flesh and blood affection, but secretly accepted her kindness? If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do! I didn't remove you from the genealogy, I have already done my best, and I have fulfilled this father-son relationship! ”

Shen Pei's face was like ashes, his mouth was open, his arrogance disappeared all at once, and he was slumped in his seat, speechless.

The abscess estranged between father and son was broken all at once, and it was not only Shen Pei who was in pain, but Shen Bin himself was also in tears. He didn't want to look at this unfilial son any more, so he threw down a sentence, "When you split up, I will naturally not give you half a point less than what I should give you, so you can do it yourself." He got up and walked away.

Shen Pei, who was slumped in the chair, couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, at this moment, only he could hear a crisp sound from the depths of his heart-it was the sound of a broken dream.

The separation of the family meant that he not only had to bear the accusations of unfilial piety from the world, but more importantly, his identity from now on was no different from that of ordinary side branches of the clan. Even if Shen Ze died on the battlefield, Zhihua gave birth to another daughter, and the first heir to the title was Shen Hao, who stayed in the mansion and had not yet married. Taking a step back, even if Shen Hao is also divided, the two brothers will compete fairly with the children of the clan, and if Zhihua at that time chooses to inherit a baby heir from the clan, the two brothers will not even be qualified to oppose it. All in all, as Shen Bin said, Wei Guogong's position, he has no hope in his life!

Approaching the delivery period, Zhihua's appetite increased greatly, but her sleep became more and more unstable. Every night, I would be crushed by a huge belly, and I couldn't sleep for a long time. I finally fell asleep, and I often woke up from cramping calf pain. As a result, her spirits were getting worse and worse during the day, and she felt tired after a little effort.

After worrying about the eldest princess's mother and daughter in the morning, she was about to take a nap after lunch, but Cui'er came in a hurry and whispered in her ear about the latest scandal outside.

Zhihua, who was already sleep-deprived, was even more upset after hearing this, slapped her palm on the edge of the bed, and scolded angrily: "Mama Dou, what about the little guys I allocated to Shen Pei and Shen Hao? Didn't you say you should keep an eye on it all the time? Why didn't you go with them to Dajue Temple today? ”

During this time, she was not energetic, and most of the housekeeping in the house was taken care of by Mama Dou. Knowing that she was out of responsibility, Mama Dou hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty: "It was the old slave who was negligent for a while, please punish the princess." ”

Zhihua also knew in her heart that even if the little girl went with him, she would not be able to stop Shen Pei, who was the master, from acting, and at most she could only rush back in advance to report the news. She rubbed her eyebrows and sighed physically and mentally exhausted, "That's it, I'll punish you for two months, this time the little guy is not good enough, you can change me for two clever points." In the future, Shen Pei should not be taken lightly. ”

After being cautious in the palace for a lifetime, changing a simple and relaxed environment would actually make an old horse stumble and make such a low-level mistake, Mama Dou blamed herself in her heart, and at the same time was even more grateful to Zhihua for her kindness, and she was sincerely blessed when she heard the words: "Don't worry, the old slave must learn a lesson, and don't dare to relax a little." ”

At this moment, the subordinate sent by Shen Bin walked into the room after being informed. (To be continued.) )
