Chapter 145: Stealing chicken but losing rice!
Chen Shengda knew something was wrong, so he told Chen Kuan: "Chen Kuan, tell the Shen family to get out and say that I know nothing!"
Chen Kuan went out confused and sent the Shen family away, but Shen Mingzhuang, with his two sons and his wife, was outside the gate of the Chen family, howling and shouting, saying loudly and meanly that Chen Shengda had sent someone to Yunnan Prefecture to inform them that their family was coming to Fulu County Lord's house to extort money...
But Chen Shengda was playing tricks. He knew very well that the eldest brother of the Shen family was the adopted son of the Shen family, but he did not tell them and deliberately let them cause trouble. If it were not for the mercy of the county lord, their whole family would have been beaten with a stick!
They traveled thousands of miles from Yunnan Prefecture to the capital, and now they have no money to go back. The villain Chen Shengda tricked them here, and their family must ask for some money for the return trip!
The Shen family was arguing, and the people around the Chen residence gathered around. Chen Shengda knew something was wrong, so he rushed out and said sullenly, "How can this be? Who are you? You come to harass me, and what nonsense are you saying? Are you trying to frame me?"
When Shen Mingzhuang saw Chen Shengda's expression, he was furious: "Okay! If Master Chen doesn't admit it, then our whole family will go to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue you. Anyway, we are barefoot and we are not afraid of you who wear shoes!"
Chen Shengda was helpless as he watched more and more people gathered around him. He thought for a moment and said, "Then come in, Brother Shen. After all, we were relatives before. I have something to say to you."
When Shen Shengda called Shen Mingzhuang into the mansion, he said with a bad face: "Brother Shen, are you and Brother Shen willing to let the old man leave all the family assets to the county lady and her daughter?
You two are the sons of the Shen family! How come a girl like her took the lion's share of the family wealth? "
Shen Mingzhuang was so angry that he spat: "Bah! Bastard, are you trying to play a trick on me on purpose?"
Chen Shengda almost vomited at that time: "How ridiculous! You really don't know what's good for you!"
Shen Mingzhuang was not polite either: "You despicable villain, if it weren't for you, how could our family be in such a mess and offend the county lady?
We two brothers are actually adopted sons raised by Mr. Shen, and the county princess is the legitimate daughter of Mr. Shen!
You actually bewitched me, your adopted son, to compete with the legitimate daughter for the family property? Chen Shengda, you are such a despicable and shameless person, have you read so much that you can't even remember the book?
I'm telling you, if you don't give us money today as travel expenses to let us go back to Yunnan Prefecture, I will take my whole family and fight you to the death!"
Chen Shengda...
He was so angry! He had never expected that the old man of the Shen family had no biological sons, so he adopted two older sons to take care of him in his old age. No wonder the old man was partial to his daughter and left all his property to her.
The old man even paved a smooth road for his daughter! It must be said that people's hearts are biased, otherwise how could the old man arrange such a good life for his daughter?
The two adopted sons had been treated unfairly before, so the old man gave them some family property, which seemed to be good enough...
Chen Shengda was so angry that he was gasping for breath. He really ended up losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken!
He had no other choice but to take out the only 180 taels of silver left in his pocket, but Shen Mingzhuang snatched the silver away.
He counted them and said angrily, "I thought you were the top scholar! Bah, you lost a watermelon and picked up a sesame seed. Everyone in our family who asked around has heard about it.
You abandoned the county lady and her daughter, and married a widow in the capital with a burden. Now you have ended up in such a miserable state. Look at your yard, it's not even as big as the county lady's doghouse..."
Pan Qiaoyun was woken up from her nap. When she came out of the room, she heard these words. She was so angry that she yelled, "Where did this troublemaker come from? My husband, kick him out!"
Shen Mingzhuang turned around and saw a fat and stupid woman with a pair of triangular eyes and thick lips. How could she be as young and beautiful as his own sister Shen Biyu?
He looked at Chen Shengda in disbelief at the time. It was really an eye-opener!
"Chen Shengda, have you become stupid from studying?
You left my sister, who is as beautiful as a fairy, and married such a fat black widow? Oh my God! I am shocked by you!"
Chen Shengda...
Pan Qiaoyun, who was described as a fat black widow...
"Ahhh! I'll kill you..."
Shen Mingzhuang was so scared that he rushed out of the Chen Mansion with the silver bills. He took his wife and children to a pawnshop, bought a carriage, and hurriedly made arrangements. He fled the capital that afternoon!
Their family is not fools. Duke Wei Zhendong and that despicable Chen Shengda are both high-ranking officials in the capital. If one of them wants to kill their family, it can be as easy as crushing an ant!
Shen Mingzhuang and his family fled out of the capital in a horse-drawn carriage and disappeared from then on. I guess they even changed their surnames!
In the evening, the old lady of the Wei family took Fu Wanying and Wei Wanqian to eat first, while Shen's mother and daughter waited for Wei Zhendong and his son to come back for dinner.
Wei Zhendong told Shen's eldest brother about his family at the dinner table. Shen said leisurely, "This matter really surprised me. When I was young, I only knew that my father always loved me. I thought that my father loved my mother, so he was particularly partial to me. I didn't expect that my eldest brother and second brother were actually adopted sons of our parents!"
Shen Ruyi couldn't help laughing in her heart, oh well! Calling a deer a horse has become true!
Wei Zhendong nodded and said, "County Lady, don't think too much. My father-in-law probably didn't have a son and was afraid that it would be difficult to support the family business, so he adopted two sons. Don't think too much!
My father-in-law was quite good to his two adopted sons. At least he gave them one-third of his wealth.
They can't compare with you. You are your father-in-law's legitimate daughter, and you should inherit all the family property."
Shen looked at her husband with some discomfort and said, "I am indeed a little surprised that they came today, because when I got married, I knew that my eldest and second brothers had a falling out with my father because of the dowry and shop my father gave me. They made it very unhappy, and as a result, they stopped hanging out with me after I got married!
I brought Ruyi home to see my father. They didn't say anything when they saw me. Later, my father died...and both families simply moved away.
When he left, he didn't inform me. He just sold the family's land and yard and disappeared.
It turns out that they are not unkind to me, it’s because we are not related by blood…”
Wei Zhendong quickly expressed his opinion: "County Lady, don't be sad, it's because the eldest and second brothers of the Shen family are ungrateful, so they treat you like that!
It was probably because our father-in-law didn't want to hurt them, so he didn't tell them. Looking at the performance of the eldest brother of the Shen family today, we know that he and the second brother Shen have no idea about their life experiences.
Of course, such a thing will not happen in our family, don't worry, our Ruyi will be loved by her three brothers, don't worry!"
Shen looked at her little girl with some distress, and Wei Wanlin also quickly expressed his opinion: "County Lady, you don't have to think too much, I guess this matter was manipulated by someone.
This afternoon, someone saw Uncle Shen and his family running to the Chen family. They probably asked for money from the Chen family, bought a carriage, and ran away from the capital in the afternoon!
County Lady, you don't have to worry that we brothers won't take good care of Ruyi. Our Ruyi is so cute, and the three of us brothers will treat her the same way as Wanqian!"
Shen Ruyi sat there eating. She said with a smile: "Yeah! Big brother, second brother, and third brother are all good!
My second and third brothers will be back soon, and I will go hunting, barbecuing and ice skating with them..."
Shen gave her daughter a piece of meat in a bad mood and said, "Don't bother your brothers anymore. They have grown up and have jobs to do!"
Shen Ruyi giggled, but there was a malicious light in her eyes. Ha! Your scumbag dad lives too peacefully. If you want to find excitement and hurt, then I will satisfy you!
