Although Ling's second grandmother He in the Dongcheng house is living behind closed doors, she is not completely ignorant of the outside world.

At the beginning, Shen Rui left Changshou to take care of the affairs here, and Changshou was also a clever person, and the big and small things on the street would probably be reported to the He family.

He generally listened silently, noncommittal, except for the initial gritted teeth to find Liang Ping, who did not send a letter of help to Shen Zhou, he never gave any instructions to Changshou.

This time, Changshou learned the news that the Shen family was going to divide the clan, and he also informed the He family for the first time.

He was silent as always, but he hugged Brother Xiao Nan and sat for a long time under the corridor of the north house where Shen Ling was parked.

The division of the Shen family is bad news for her, she is afraid that each room of the sect will take care of its own affairs, and there will be no binding force in the clan, if the third room forcibly records Shen Ling back to the family tree, whether it is Shen Zhou and Shen Rui in the second room, or Mrs. Hongda and Shen Li in the ninth room in the fifth room, they will no longer be able to help her.

The faces of Shen Yong and his wife, He couldn't see it more thoroughly.

Shen Yong and his wife have also come over in the past few days, especially after the lawsuit sentenced Yan Juren to pay Shen Ling one-third of the family property, they came more frequently.

He knew that for the sake of silver, they would not let go of themselves, let alone Brother Xiao Nan. She has taken care of the general affairs with Shen Ling, and she also knows the economy of the world, and she has estimated that this amount of money is only in the number of two or three hundred thousand.

Not to mention that people like Shen Yong and his wife are greedy for money and forget their righteousness, they are ordinary people, and they will not be unmoved in the face of such a huge amount of money.

He hugged his young son tightly, who else could their mother and son trust?

She used to trust Shen Zhou so much, and her father-in-law Shen Ling served Shen Zhou with all her heart and lungs for a few years, and she didn't get the promise of a step-heir. When Shen Ling was in prison, where was he, Shen Zhou?

Of course, Liang Ping maliciously did not send the letter, but if Shen Zhou really cared about Shen Ling, how could he wait for someone to send the letter? Isn't it appropriate to send someone to ask first?

For a while, hatred welled up in her heart, and she couldn't believe anyone.

Especially, with two or three hundred thousand taels of silver.

He has another hidden worry in his heart, if so, if Shen Zhou wants to pass the heir, where should she go? After the adoption, Brother Xiao Nan is no longer her son, and as a young widowed nephew and daughter-in-law, she naturally can't live with Shen Zhou and Brother Xiao Nan, so how will she be treated?

2. 300,000 taels of silver are Shen Ling's orphans, and they belong to Brother Xiao Nan, and will she be married indiscriminately?

Returning to the third room, the third room must have swallowed the silver and couldn't accommodate their mother and son, and sooner or later they would be tortured to death.

If she doesn't go back to the third room and defects to Shen Zhou, it is likely that her son will be treated properly, and she will not have a good result.

He kept tightening his son, regardless of his son's pain and crying, let the tears gush out, only stared blankly at the north house, opened his mouth, and spit out a sentence from his dry lips: "Xianggong, you are unbearable to be humiliated, but you walked cleanly, but it hurts our mother and son......"

Just when the He family was worried and kept thinking nonsense, the Shen family after the division of the sect would send the second wife of Sanfangyong, Mrs. Haosan, Mrs. Lian and Mrs. Wufanghong to invite Ling's second grandmother, He Shi, to the ancestral hall to discuss the aftermath of Shen Ling.

Changshou was stunned when he opened the door, if this was someone from the third room, he wouldn't have to go back, and Ling's second grandmother wouldn't see it. However, this time, Mrs. Hongda also came.

Changshou first greeted the wives, and then ran up to the second door with a smoke, and beckoned the mother-in-law who was guarding the door to report to Ling's second grandmother.

When He heard that Mrs. Hongda's Guo came with several wives in the third room, she couldn't help but close her eyes and sigh, thanks to Guo's care for a while, she was full of gratitude, but now, ...... Could it be that the fifth room also stood on the third side?

He didn't make up, so he had a white face and went out to meet guests with a heavy filial piety.

In front of Changshou, he learned that Ling's second grandmother was going to meet guests, so he led the wives to the front hall to sit.

It was the first time that Mrs. Yong had to enter this gate, and she breathed a sigh of relief while constantly looking around.

Although it is a little gloomy because of the plain white and white lanterns hanging high everywhere, it can also be seen that it is a neat courtyard, and the second wife Yong's eyes are red, and she can't help but scold in her heart, Shen Rui is obviously a sister-in-law, with such a neat courtyard clan, he actually didn't give her sister-in-law Brother Qiong, but gave it to the son of Shen Ling, who was a concubine.

When the mother and son are cleaned up, this yard should be kept for Brother Qiong!

Well, the house of his mother's third nephew was ruined in this rebellion, and a few days ago she came to Yangmo to ask for some silver and wanted to change it, and the size of the yard was just right......

Mrs. Haosan and Mrs. Liansi were just accompanying guests, so they didn't say much, but Guo's servants who couldn't stop inquiring about He's mother and son with the servant who led the way, from food to clothing, asked about everything.

Mrs. Haosan didn't have any ideas, but Mrs. Liansi already had a plan in her heart, seeing that Zihong's sister-in-law and Brother Ling's daughter-in-law were really not an ordinary friendship, she would have to think about it later, but don't offend the mother-in-law of the patriarch of Hongda's sister-in-law, don't cause trouble for the fourth master of her family.

In the front hall, as soon as He came out of the back hall, Guo couldn't sit still, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed He's wrist, only felt that the wrist was amazingly thin, and then looked at He's eyes were dark and blue, and his lips were bloodless.

Guo Shi couldn't help feeling distressed, and said continuously: "I haven't been here for a few days, why have I lost weight again?" Why don't you take good care of yourself! is to look at Brother Xiao Nan's face, you should be good! Are you still taking the medicine? Why don't you change doctors? ”

He Shi felt a little warm at this time, it seemed that Uncle Hong had not changed, and said in a low voice at the moment: "Uncle Niang, don't worry, my nephew and daughter-in-law are fine, it's just that I haven't slept well in the past two days and has no energy." ”

Guo Shi sighed: "You too, don't think too much, now that the second master of Zhou is back, what else do you have to worry about." As he spoke, he glanced at the people in the third room with a meaningful gaze, and then lowered his voice and said: "The Shen family is divided into sects, and you are loved by all clans, and your second brother Qi has been elected as the new patriarch." ”

He Shi's spirit was lifted when she heard this, she was now in a more complicated mood for Shen Zhou, and she didn't want to rely on it too much, but she trusted the Wufang family, and Shen Qi became the new patriarch, which was great news for her.

He pursed his lips, almost whispered "Congratulations to Uncle Niang", and didn't look at the few people in the third room, and he didn't mean to say hello at all, so he helped Guo to sit up.

The front hall is simple, a picture of pine cranes on the north wall of the door, look at the degree of obsolescence should be hung for many years and have not been replaced, there is a case of two circles of chairs under it, and there are eight chairs underground, but they are all newly replaced plain mattress cushion chairs.

Originally, all of them were Shen Ling's elders here, and the patriarch's mother Guo and Shen Ling's mother, Mrs. Yong, were the most qualified to sit on the head, but when Guo entered the door, she first sat on the first chair on the right side of the ground, she was older than Mrs. Yong, and Mrs. Yong was not good enough to cross her to sit on the main seat, so she had to sit under her. Mrs. Haosan and Mrs. Lian sat down in turn.

When He came in, Guo got up to talk to her, and when He helped Guo to sit down, he did not help her to the next chair, but to the main circle chair. When Guo sat down, she also sat on another chair with a blank face.

In this way, it seems to be above the people in the third room.

Mrs. Yong's second wife didn't do it first, and stood up and scolded: "You can't get on the stage, where have you learned the rules?" Can't even salute when you see your elders? That's where you're supposed to be sitting?! ”

As soon as Guo Shi was about to speak, He Shi had already spoken: "This lady, when she was a guest at someone else's house, asked the master where he was sitting, it was a good courtesy. ”

He Shi's expression was indifferent, he was completely looking at a stranger, and his tone was extremely cold: "My mother's relatives are all thousands of miles away, and my deceased husband has no relatives in a single household, I don't know which patriarch this is?" ”

Mrs. Yong was even more annoyed, "You little prostitute who forgot your roots, you still dare to deny us?" ”

He said indifferently: "It's clear that the Shen clan doesn't recognize their deceased husbands. Now that the clan has been removed, this lady, if nothing happens, forgive the widowhood of the little woman, and it is inconvenient to keep more guests. ”

He even said to the little maid who came up with tea: "Only two lamps are left with my uncle, and the guests will leave, so there is no need to serve tea." ”

The little maid really only left two teas and quickly retreated.

Mrs. Yong's second wife was so angry that she scolded the "bastard thing", and Mrs. Lian on the side hurriedly stepped forward to grab her, and said with a dry smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Sheng pressed her to a chair.

Mrs. Liansi said to the He family again: "Brother Ling's daughter-in-law, it was all a misunderstanding before, and there were also hardships in the clan. I think you also know that when you encounter a major crime, you can easily implicate the nine clans, and the clan does not dare to ignore it. Now that Brother Ling has been wronged, the clan naturally wants him to return to the sect. You don't know, today the Shen family has opened a clan meeting and divided the clan, and the second brother of the clan meeting Yong proposed to move Brother Ling'er's household registration back. No, we're just here to ask you to take the household post and go to the ancestral hall. ”

A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of He's mouth, "Misunderstanding? If there is a misunderstanding, you will be exterminated? If there is a misunderstanding, you can abandon my husband in prison and watch him die unjustly? We don't dare to go back to such a clan, and if there is any misunderstanding, I'm afraid that our mother and son will have no bones. ”

Mrs. Liansi was embarrassed for a while, and kept cursing Shen Yong and his wife in her heart, pressing her hand on the second Mrs. Yong who was about to be mad next to her, and she had to be careful and said: "Brother Ling's daughter-in-law, you are the most transparent person, how can you not know, now your father-in-law and mother-in-law really want to take your mother and son back to the clan, you are so young, and then with such a small little Brother Nan, living alone, I don't know how many tribulations are ahead." ”

She sighed, and said earnestly: "I won't hide it from you, a few days ago, Sanfang went to Quanzhou and Guangzhou to see the shop, I was out with your fourth uncle for a month, without the protection of the clan, not to mention that it is not easy to move an inch, but if we can come back, we will come back immediately." This is still where we go as a family, where can you be a woman? How many years will it take for Brother Xiao Nan to become a Ding, so let's listen to the advice of the fourth aunt and go back. ”

He Shi could hear Mrs. Liansi's sincere words, and her expression was a little softened, but let her go back, it was absolutely impossible, and now it sounds good, and when she goes back, her mother and son are fish on someone's chopping board. Then he shook his head and said, "The fourth wife is kind, I understand it." The fourth wife doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I won't go back. ”

Mrs. Haosan also helped: "My daughter-in-law, I know all kinds of tastes best, and I won't persuade you to do it, but, Brother Ling's daughter-in-law, you also have to think about it, really let Brother Ling not enter the ancestral grave and be a lonely ghost without the protection of the ancestors?" Brother Ling'er's matter, it can't be delayed any longer, it's hot in the summer, and it should be sent as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Liansi hurriedly continued: "Not only Brother Ling, but Brother Xiao Nan, in the future, he will always have to study and become a scholar, how many people have been promoted by the Shen family, how much can the descendants of the Shen family borrow, do you still need to say it?" You are also from a scholarly family, and you are much more knowledgeable than me, a merchant girl, Brother Ling's daughter-in-law, what do you say? ”

The words are reasonable, but He did not waver.

In order not to be buried with Shen Yong and his wife, the He family also hopes that the prince will not enter the ancestral grave. A lonely ghost is better than the son of a ruthless and unrighteous couple!

As for Brother Xiao Nan's future, when he returns to the Shen family, Brother Xiao Nan will only follow his father's old path, be suppressed by his grandson, and it will be impossible to get ahead. Therefore, these two items do not need to be considered at all.

Ho just shook his head.

The second wife of Yong looked at the two of them with lotus flowers, and they knew that they were moved by reason and affection, and they lobbied for a long time, but He didn't even pay attention to them, and she couldn't help but be full of evil fire.

I heard Mrs. Liansi mention: "Could it be that when Brother Xiao Nan comes out in the future, people will say that he is the son of the clan, so it will sound good?" Always think about his reputation. ”

He still replied unchanged for ten thousand years: "Brother Xiao Nan has his own life, don't worry about it, if there is nothing to do, please go back." ”

Is it good to have a good name, or is it good to afford? Brother Xiao Nan has an inheritance, and he has several clan uncles to take care of him, not better than his grandparents.

Mrs. Yong couldn't bear it any longer, and slapped the armrest of the chair with one hand, but her palms were numb with shock, and she scolded without thinking about it: "Slut! You died man, and you didn't even care about your son! What's the matter, you're going to take my son's pension and go to the wild man! Phew! Dream your big spring and autumn dreams! I'll tell you this shameless slut, take my grandson and me back happily, otherwise I'll expose your sassy skin and want you to look good! ”

He Shi was so angry that he shook his hand and smashed the tea cup on the desk, but he had always been Sven, and he couldn't scold the swear words in the market, so he only put down the cruel words he could imagine: "You are the pickled person, look at everything!" If you want to cheat the father-in-law's pension money, and if you can't coax us to go back, you will splash me with dirty water again! I'm an innocent person, I'm afraid of you're pickled! If you force me again, I will go to the yamen to sue you, and let the world see that your family is black-hearted! ”

Guo Shi was also annoyed, and shouted to Mrs. Yong's second wife: "What nonsense are you talking about! Which mother-in-law slandered her daughter-in-law like this! You're still an elder! If you say something like this again, don't blame me for going to the clan to sue you and let the clan punish you! ”

The second wife of Yong became more and more sloppy, "Okay, you still have to sue me, sue the clan, and sue the yamen!" Sue it! I'm scared of you two......"

The word "slut" has not been spoken, and her mouth has been blocked by Mrs. Liansi.

Mrs. Liansi was angry and anxious, she didn't care about decency, she went straight up and gagged her, and drank Ling Hao's third wife: "The second sister-in-law is stunned, and the third sister-in-law hasn't come to help!" ”

Mrs. Haosan realized it later, and then she held her teeth and claws to open her claws to open the hand that covered her mouth.

Mrs. Liansi is going crazy, she spits here and talks for a long time, she doesn't even have a cup of tea, her throat is going to smoke, the second sister-in-law, this idiot jumps out and makes a mess, if even the patriarch's mother scolds it, how can the third room gain a foothold in the clan!

Guo Shi had already walked to He's side, smoothed her back, and forced his anger to persuade softly: "You don't care about that kid!" Don't be angry with your body. ”

He clenched his fists, forcibly resisted not to make himself tremble, and shouted angrily: "Where are all the people!" Come! Drop-off! ”

Outside, there was already a powerful mother-in-law waiting for a longevity arrangement, and when she heard an order from inside, she came in immediately, and dragged the three people out.

Guo sighed, patted He on the shoulder again, and said, "Don't be angry, you are angry, but make them proud." I also went with them, so that they would not go back to the clan and make nonsense. ”

He Shi pressed the discomfort, grabbed Guo's hand, and opened his mouth with a little choked: "Uncle, I'm not to you...... You don't blame me. ”

Guo Shi hurriedly reassured: "Silly boy, how can my aunt blame you!" Uncle Niang can see today's events clearly, and she will tell the clan truthfully when she goes back. Your mind, Uncle Niang is also clear, and she will definitely take care of you. Only you have to take care of your body, everything around you is a lie, and it is serious to take care of your own body and bones. Raising Brother Xiao Nan is your hope in the future. You can rest assured that there are two and five bedrooms, and you will be able to protect your mother and child. ”

He's heart was sour, and he couldn't help it anymore and cried loudly.

Guo's kind words comforted a few words, and he heard the voices of a few people in the third room outside getting farther and farther away, so he had to leave He's side, hurried over, and went back with the three concubines, so as not to go to the clan to reverse black and white and tell the black.

Back at the ancestral hall of Shenjiafang, the patriarch Shen Qi knew in his heart, so he only left the sons of each house and the elders of the clan to wait for the news, and all the clansmen and the female dependents of the side rooms had dispersed.

Shen Yuan's cane punishment has also been completed, and he was moved to the simple wing next to the ancestral shrine of Sijin, and the ten years of locking the ancestral hall will be counted from this moment.

Mrs. Yuan had already taken someone back to the fourth room to get Shen Yuan's clothes and bedding, and Shen Jin asked a doctor to look after Shen Yuan's injuries.

The people in the hall were discussing matters such as sacrificing fields and family studies in the future, and the Guo family and the three ladies had already entered.

Mrs. Yong's second wife really entered the door and said: "Then He doesn't know what to do, and he is disrespectful and unfilial......"

Guo Shi said sharply: "The elders are not kind, and the younger generations are not stupid and filial?!" ”

When I arrived at the ancestral hall of Dezong, all the people around me were watching the sons and clan elders, and the second wife of Yong lost her arrogance, and pretended to be aggrieved: "Our elders said all the good things, but she just didn't listen, and said that Brother Xiao Nan would not need us to care about it in the future, so I don't know what ......to do."

Guo sneered: "He hasn't come back yet, you will pour dirty water on her, if she comes back, she can't tell how to be tortured." ”

Mrs. Yong's face was blue and red for a while, and she said angrily: "I was angry and didn't choose to say anything for a while." ”

Guo snorted, ignored her anymore, turned to look around, and said to the elders of the clan: "God is pitiful, Brother Ling's daughter-in-law is so thin that there is only a handful of bones left. At the beginning, how to treat Brother Ling'er's family in the clan, everyone also knew in their hearts, and now Brother Ling's daughter-in-law refused to come back, which is understandable. The twisted melon is not sweet, since she doesn't want to come back, why bother with it. ”

Shen Yong was anxious and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Hong! Brother Ling'er is going to be sent immediately, if you don't enter the blessed land of the Shen family, won't you become a lonely ghost and a wild ghost......"

Guo interrupted him and said, "Brother Ling and Brother Xiao Nan are here, how did they become lonely ghosts?" Brother Ling didn't protect him in the clan before his death, what is the use of just saying that he is blessed after his death? ”

Shen Yong was speechless for a while, and then said: "No matter what you say, Brother Xiao Nan is also my grandson and the flesh and blood of the Shen family, so I can't let him be left behind......"

Guo Shi thought of the thin little Nan brother, and was even more annoyed, and said coldly: "Why don't you have this grandson, when you forced Brother Ling's daughter-in-law to stay in the guest house, she still had a Shen family flesh and blood in her belly, and she gave birth to it. ”

Shen Yong opened his mouth for a long time, and he couldn't answer again.

Mrs. Yong muttered in a low voice: "She is not careful herself, she lost the child, how can she still complain about us?" ”

Shen Zhoushi was impatient for his couple to entangle this matter again, so he said with a calm face: "Shen Yong, since you wrote the document to me, Brother Ling is my junior, and I can manage his affairs before and after." Now that you have removed Brother Ling from the clan, you will not meddle in his affairs again! Whether you return to the sect or not depends on Brother Ling's daughter-in-law, if you want to persecute her mother and son again, don't blame me for not thinking about the love of the same clan! ”

Shen Qi also said at the right time: "I said before that it is no longer a matter of the same clan at this time, and it must be in accordance with the law of the country!" Ling's second sister-in-law refused to take out the household registration to move to the yamen, so the matter could only be stopped. Second Uncle Yong doesn't have to mention it at the clan meeting in the future. ”

Shen Yong has always been afraid of Shen Zhou, but when he saw Shen Zhou coming out for Shen Ling's wife and children, and listening to the patriarch speak like this, he was unwilling in his heart, so he had to give up.

The second Mrs. Yong refused to give up, she secretly gritted her teeth, it was the slut of the He family holding the household post in her head, if she moved the slut, Brother Xiao Nan's milk doll with no teeth could only recognize her grandmother.

Brother Xiao Nan still has two or three hundred thousand taels of pension silver!

Then it should be hers, it should be her Brother Qiong's!

Second Mrs. Yong secretly glanced at Shen Zhou, and said secretly in her heart, when that slut is innocent, see that you have the face to protect their mother and son!

The new book "Patriarch Pressure" is on the shelves at the starting point, and friends who have a monthly ticket at the starting point help cast a vote, thank you.
