"Second brother, what you did today is really too much." He asked Wei Changying to take Ji Chunmian away, and also asked Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun to go back. Only two brothers were left. Shen Zangfeng did not need to worry about Shen Lianshi's face. , with a livid face, scolded, "It's not a big deal in the first place, and it can't be all Yan'er's fault. You actually did such a thing, how are you going to get along with your father and daughter in the future?!"
Shen Lianshi said coldly: "Get along? When I see her, I think of Duanmu's poisonous woman. I wish she would marry somewhere far away now that she is old enough to leave the court, and not let me see or hear her for the rest of my life!"
Shen Zangfeng looked at him and sighed: "Sure enough, second brother, you are angry at Yan'er because of the second sister-in-law! But think about how innocent Yan'er is? She still doesn't know what the second sister-in-law did, let alone Yi'er. Why not? I know, second brother, that you feel sorry for Yi'er, but Yan'er is also your child!"
It's better that he didn't say this last sentence. As soon as he said this, Shen Lianshi suddenly thought of the time when he ordered Duanmu Yanyu to pack Shen Shuyi's things before breaking out of the siege. He didn't pay attention to Duanmu Yanyu's words at the time. Only then did he remember: "But Rou'er is also our child!"
This memory has not yet dissipated. The concubine Shen Shuyi, the only male heir in his life, was held tightly by Duanmu Yanyu before his death, and blood gushed out from his chest. He was already dying. But the child didn't know that he was still alive. Struggling to ask for help... Shen Lianshi suddenly burst into tears and said, "It's also my child? But I don't have a son anymore, so what's the use of having a daughter?"
His sudden tears surprised Shen Zangfeng - except when burying his parents, Shen Zangfeng had never seen Shen Lengshi cry before when he was so old, which shows how sad he was!
Shen Zangfeng did not dare to persuade him to be nice to his niece, and quickly lowered his tone to comfort: "Second brother, please calm down... How can you say that you don't have a son? You are now in your prime, and spring will come after the new year. How can you not renew your relationship?" Is that true? Are you afraid that I won’t be able to take your place in the future?”
"Third brother, please stop coaxing me." After hearing this, Shen Lianshi smiled miserably and shook his head in despair, "How can my fate of being an heir be compared to yours? You haven't taken a concubine yet, but you have long since I have two legitimate children with my younger siblings. But what about me? I am seven years older than you and got married seven or eight years earlier than you. But until last year, although we had three daughters, we only had one male heir—me. You know how many people there have been in the backyard, and there are not just one or two selected according to Yi Nan's requirements... Do you think that after I renew my marriage, I will definitely have another heir? "
He said sadly, "In the future, I can only hope that after your children become prosperous, you can adopt one or two to take care of me after my death!"
Shen Zangfeng changed his expression and said: "Second brother, you are in your prime, why do you mention the things behind your life? Besides, you used to have three daughters and one son, and now you only have one daughter. But who knows if Yi'er's landing will be a sign of your future?" The heirs are starting to flourish? Even if you, the second brother, still have three daughters to have one son, can’t our Shen family afford several young ladies?”
"You probably don't know." Shen Lengshi wiped his tears with his sleeves and said calmly, "After I had two daughters, I secretly thought of many ways to have a son! Even those who have been in the palace for many years The old palace people asked more than a dozen people for advice. They even prepared generous gifts and asked Ji Qubing for the secret recipe for childbirth... It took several years before Yi'er was born. Why did I agree? The Duanmu family took him to raise him and hardly ever set foot on his concubine’s door?”
"Firstly, it is good for Yi'er to be raised by the Duanmu family. Secondly, I am not very interested in those concubines, but just for the sake of children... Thirdly, I had a premonition that it would be so difficult for me to have a son, and Yi'er was very likely to He is the only male heir in my life. In order to let Duanmu treat him well, I kept going to Duanmu's place." Shen Lianshi smiled mockingly, "So the reason why Yi'er was attracted by Duanmu's poisonous woman was. It's my fault. I shouldn't have told Duanmu the truth at the beginning. I should have followed her and taken Rou'er out of Wuhuating - Rou'er is a sensible child, unlike Duanmu, who must be able to understand me as a father. Difficulties…”
Shen Zangfeng was silent for a moment and then said: "Second brother, you are in good health. Now that you are not confused, there is no reason why you will have no children in the future. I think the second brother had a wrong premonition at the beginning."
"In short, if I remain childless in the future, and the person with the most children among you is willing to adopt me, it will be fine." Shen Lianshi sighed and said, "After all, your children are closer to me than those in the clan. Look at it growing up.”
When he said this, he obviously still had no hope that he would have a biological son after his filial piety. It's no wonder that he regards his own daughter as worthless, but treats all his nephews as treasures. It turned out that he thought that after Shen Shuyi's death, he would no longer be able to have a biological male heir, and would have to rely on his nephews for care and support in his old age.
Seeing that he couldn't listen to the advice at this point, Shen Zangfeng sighed secretly, but did not take up the words. He only said: "The matter of the heir has a long way to go. But it's hard for my second brother to treat Yan'er like he did today. Girls are already delicate, not to mention that Yan'er is so young. If Mrs. Ji hadn't come to stop her now, second brother, you would have regretted it for the rest of your life!"
But seeing that Shen Lianshi's expression didn't change after hearing this, knowing that he was still angry at the moment, he didn't feel that he would have any lifelong regrets about accidentally beating his daughter to death. Shen Zangfeng only felt a wave of irritation in his heart. He suppressed his anger and looked at His eyes narrowed to the bruise on his forehead, and he changed the subject and said, "How is the injury on Second Brother? Is it important?"
Speaking of which, the father and daughter of the second wife had a narrow escape from death today.
Although Shen Shuyan was almost beaten to death by her biological father, Shen Lianshi also completely angered Ji Chunmian, who was invited by the He family to stop him. The He family also sent someone to invite Shen Zangfeng, so Shen Zangfeng was a little late and chased into the yard. When I was inside, I happened to see the scene where Ji Chunmian kicked down a head-sized rock from the rockery, lifted it up and hit Shen Lianshi on the head!
If Shen Lianshi hadn't reacted quickly and ducked out of the way, it would never have been as simple as being hit with bruises and swelling on his forehead, causing him to fall back a few steps and feel dizzy for a while. With that smash, Shen Lianshi was certain to die!
Because of this, Shen Zangfeng became furious and ordered the guards to take Ji Chunmian away - Ji Chunmian's sleeves were torn when she resisted the guards.
However, Shen Shuyan was lying on the ground and couldn't help vomiting blood. Shen Zangfeng went up to hug her but was rejected. When he saw her pupils were dilated, he just called his mother Duanmu Yanyu, Ji Chunmian and Wei Changying in turn incoherently. And the guard chief Yingren was not here, so Shen Zangfeng had to ask the guards to let Ji Chunmian go and let her take care of his niece temporarily.
But when Shen Shuyan was sent back to Huo Qingling's courtyard after preliminary diagnosis and treatment, Ji Chunmian who wanted to follow him was detained.
After all, the second master who attacked and killed Ming Peitang in public, even the cousin of Divine Doctor Ji who was very close to Ming Peitang, couldn't just let it go!
But because Shen Lianshi's anger towards his daughter had reached the point of hatred, Shen Zangfeng and others had to treat this issue carefully. In addition, it makes sense for Ji Chunmian to take action today... Shen Zangfeng did not bother to punish this rebellious commoner woman for a while, so he only asked his wife to take her down first.
At this moment, he asked about his brother's injury, thinking about how to deal with Ji Chunmian
Punishment? If Ji Chunmian hadn't taken action, Shen Shuyan might not have been able to survive if she suffered a few more blows. By then, her good niece would have died, and Shen Lianshi would have had the unkind reputation of being a female murderer. Prize? The difference between scholars and common people is as great as heaven and earth. A commoner who was invited to help in the backyard wanted to kill her brother in public, but she was actually rewarded. What will happen if someone attacks the children of the Shen family in the future
Equal emphasis on rewards and punishments? How to measure the degree, and how to punish and reward
"I'm a little dizzy. Ji's hands are very strong this time. It's not like ordinary wild tricks." After being reminded by him, he remembered that he was also injured today. Shen Lianshi subconsciously touched the injured area, but it hurt. His upper muscles couldn't help but twitch, and he snorted coldly, "How can there be such a skilled martial artist in Cao's Fort to teach her? Then Ji Gu must be hiding something."
"It is said that Mrs. Ji's martial arts skills were taught by people from the Mengshan Gang." Shen Zangfeng was not interested in Ji Chunmian's skills. The Ji family is now in Xiliang, so how can they dare to do harm to the Shen family? And he knew that what Shen Lianshi said didn't necessarily mean that he really had any doubts about the Ji family.
It's just that he was taken advantage of by a commoner woman in public, and he couldn't lose his face, so he deliberately made some trouble to divert the conversation.
Shen Zangfeng would never expose him. At this moment, Shen Zangfeng was concerned about, "I just forgot to ask the doctor to take a look at the second brother. I will send someone to call him later."
"You go now. I'm tired. Let's lie down for a while." Shen Lianshi didn't want to say anything more to his brother, so he closed his eyes and said calmly.
When Shen Zangfeng saw that he had given the eviction order, he was silent for a moment and said, "That's fine."
After leaving Shen Lianshi's yard, he ordered a doctor to come and see Shen Lianshi's injuries.
Shen Zangfeng sent someone to ask Shen Zangji to come here to entertain the doctor, while he led his servants towards the backyard.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the third room, they saw it was deserted. The woman guarding the door bowed and explained that Wei Changying and Ji Chunmian were worried about Shen Shuyan, and were afraid that Shen Shuxie would cause trouble if he stayed. So they were brought there together, and they are all in the sixth room now.
Finally, the mother-in-law saw that Shen Zangfeng's face was not very good, so she asked tentatively: "My maid, are you going to invite the ladies back now?"
"No need, the sixth room also needs care. I'll just wait in the side room for a while." Shen Zangfeng shook his head and said calmly, "When Madam comes back, tell her that I will be in the side room." good."
The mother-in-law responded obediently and asked the maid in the courtyard to lead him to a side room.
But this woman was under the control of Chief Wei, and was entrusted with the responsibility of guarding the door. She was naturally devoted to Chief Ying, so how could she really not tell him anything
So when Shen Zangfeng entered the side room, he turned around and called his niece, a little maid who was also cleaning the yard, to the corner, taught her some words, and ordered her to take a shortcut through the back door. Go to the sixth room to report the news. (To be continued)
