Chapter 42: Elopement?
Shen Zaishi took the hemp rope in Shen Mengxi's hand and looked at it carefully, and Shen Zhixin and Shen Zhilei also stepped forward to look at the hemp rope.
"Father, Xiaoxi is right! It really doesn't look like a helpless mother did it! Shen Zhixin already believed it when his daughter said that, in his opinion, his daughter is a little genius, and everything she says is right!
"Hmmm! Does that mean that this is a man who helped Xiao Cui's escape? Hum! This is the good daughter raised by your Cui family! Shen Zaishi's cold eyes looked at Cui Shidao.
"It's impossible! Although our family has been divided, we are also from a big family, how could my niece do such a thing that corrupts the family? "How can the Cui family be willing to let people ruin the reputation of their Cui family, no matter how they say that they are also of the same root as the Cui family of Qinghe, and the reputation of the Cui family must be defended to the death!
"Mother, do you think that the matter of the little Cui family beating and killing their stepchildren is not an act that damages the reputation of the Cui family? She didn't take the Cui family's reputation seriously for a long time! Shen Zhixin sneered.
"Big brother is right! If the little Cui family is really good, he will not be retired to his parents' house in the future! Shen Zhixin also shook his head disapprovingly and said.
"You ...... That's also your foreign family, what good is it for you to slander your foreign family? Cui Shiqi's heart hurt, and he covered his chest as he spoke.
Shen Zaishi felt sorry for his old wife, so he said: "There will be one or two unsuccessful ones in any family, and you can't deny your whole family because of Xiao Cui's fault!" ”
"That's what my father said! It's the sons who want to be left! The Shen Zhixin brothers respectfully saluted to the Cui family and admitted their mistakes.
"However, this matter can't just be left like that, you have to tell your uncle and them as it is, so that they know that our Shen family has nothing to be sorry for them from beginning to end! Also, it was said to the outside that Xiao Cui's had been retired and returned to his parents' house, so don't spread the rest! ”
Everyone also understands that this kind of thing is a double-edged sword, and if it spreads, not only will the Cui family's reputation be ruined, but even their Shen family will be embarrassed! So they all obediently responded, but they all felt extremely aggrieved in their hearts, and there was no smile on everyone's face.
"That's it! Let's all go our separate ways! ”
Shen Zaishi took the lead out of the firewood room and returned to the upper room, Cui's followed behind him, the rest of the people, Shen Zhixin's brothers went to the backyard to take care of the vegetable field, Wu's went to the kitchen to cook morning food as usual, Shen Mengxi followed Wu to help her light the fire, Shen Mengzhu took her two younger brothers back to the house to endorse, no one in the family noticed the corner outside the firewood room, Wang Jin was squatting there in a daze, her disbelief at the beginning to confusion, and the resentment of Xiao Cui's abandonment of her has all turned into hatred for everyone in the Shen family at this time!
In Wang Jin's opinion, if it weren't for Shen Zhixin divorced her mother, and the Shen family insisted on sending her mother to the official, her mother would not have run away with anyone, and she would not have become an abandoned child! But she didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for their mother and daughter being too ruthless and killing Shen Mengxi, who was only three years old, and living in the Shen family in a down-to-earth manner, with the kind personality of the Shen family, who could deliberately find their fault?
In the upper room, in the east room where Shen Zaishi and his wife lived, Shen Zaishi and Cui's had been speechless for a long time. Cui Shi was a little weak-hearted, he couldn't stand Shen Zaishi's sharp eyes and lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look at his eyes again.
"You tell me the truth, did you already know that your niece had escaped?"
Cui Shi raised his head violently to look at Shen Zaishi, shook his head vigorously and said, "No!" Not really! If the officials don't believe me, I can swear a poisonous oath! ”
