Chapter 39: Night Rain (3)
With a bang, a wine glass was placed on the table, Shen Minghe opened the wine jug, poured a glass with a clatter, handed the wine glass to Shen Junzhuo, looked at him with a pair of drunk eyes, and said:
"Brother is so busy, I haven't seen you except for the New Year's holidays. Why do you have time to come to me today? Come, let's have a drink with my brother first, and after drinking this one, let's talk about something else. ”
Shen Junzhuo's eyes were very cold, he looked at the wine glass handed to him, the amber liquid in the wine glass rippled gently, and there seemed to be a pair of eager eyes in the crystal luster. He stretched out a hand, coldly pushed away his glass, and placed a silver ticket and a straw doll on the table.
Shen Minghe looked down, put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up these two things and looked at them, looking at him suspiciously.
His eyes were a little cloudy, and there was some youthful innocence, Shen Junzhuo's cold heart moved, and he tapped the table twice with his fingers, and said:
"The silver ticket of the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion was used to buy a murderous horse to kill Shen Yan; A sorcery puppet under the window where your third son lives! ”
Shen Minghe's chaotic eyes shrank suddenly, picked up the puppet and glanced at it, then picked up the silver ticket and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he saw that it was covered with the stamp of the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, and then looked at the denomination: one hundred taels......
He laughed suddenly, and the more he laughed, the more crazy he became, and even slipped himself to the ground laughing, and the table was jerked against him, and the jug on it fell with a clatter, and rolled down with a grunt.
His son, a life is worth only a hundred taels of silver, what a wonderful son he is, a hundred taels, a hundred taels bought his life!
After laughing for a while, he slapped the silver ticket on the table and said:
"With this silver ticket alone, you can say that she bought a murder?"
Shen Junzhuo looked at him, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, he was still laughing, but two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks. Where does he not believe, he believes too much! But he didn't want to face it, he didn't want to make a decision.
Shen Junzhuo took a deep breath and said coldly:
"If you don't want to do it, don't want to, don't dare to do it, I can help you."
Shen Minghe raised his head and looked at him with some confusion, and after a long time, he said:
"My father didn't do anything wrong back then! How can I be this home? I am indecisive, inactive, and I can't even manage my wife in the inner room, where can I support such a huge family business! After a pause, he said bitterly and dejectedly:
"What are you going to do? If there is any scandal in the hostess of the Guogong Mansion, the entire Guogong Mansion will be ruined! And Yu'er, he will also have no future...... I haven't made much of my own achievements, and I can't shame the Guogong Mansion anymore! ”
That's it, he is afraid of such and such a reputation, even if he knows what they are doing, he turns a blind eye, let them do evil under his nose, and even makes himself an accomplice.
Shen Junzhuo shook his head in his heart, is he kind? Yes, he has not even hurt a bird or beast; Is he sinful? Yes, no matter how much his laissez-faire ruined his family relationship, he also lost his son.
Shen Junzhuo stood up, the coldness of his whole body made Shen Minghe shiver, he looked at him, and suddenly felt that he was so far away from him, so far away that his face began to blur, he was no longer the brother who needed him to hug him, he would no longer follow him and stagger behind him and step on his footprints, he didn't know him at all, he was a stranger than a stranger.
The light in the room was even darker, and the only light that shone in from outside the door sprinkled on Shen Junzhuo's body, shining him with a faint halo. Shen Minghe looked at the dark figure he left him, tall, cold, hard, and a chill gradually rose from his heart, enveloping him along with the smell of wine spilled on the ground.
