Father Shen sneered, “Just tell him that if he doesn’t pick up Fcing Licheng with us, he will never leave this house again! “
“Go abroad? Without the money from this master, what would he go there with!”
"You tell him, wait until Fang Licheng gets back, he can just go abroad. Feel free to find whatever Fuling this Fuling that he's looking for. As long as he doesn’t bring it back home, even if he’s looking for eight or ten, I’ll give him money to support all of them. No matter what, my Shen family’s young madam must be Fang Licheng!”
Originally, she thought that her husband wantecl her son ancl daughter-in-law to be together again. Mother Shen was surprised.’ But then, how will Fang Licheng agree to this? Now that there are no more concubines, what woman could bear to have her husband find other women outside!?”
Looking at her surprised expression, Father Shen’s face was cold, “It’s just a few women: she is still the young madam of the Shen family. Her son is also the eldest son, so what’s there to be unhappy about? When you go to pick her up, just don’t mention it thoroughly. Anyway, when the person arrives at our Shen family, it will be difficult for the Fang family to want to come again.”
Wasn’t this tricking someone to come back?!
Mother Shen always felt that Fang Licheng was like her own daughter. At that moment, after hearing her husband’s words, her face suddenly turned green and white.
She was still at war in her heart, but Father Shen said, “Unless you want your son’s reputation to be ruined, you need to bring Fang Licheng back. If you want to save your reputation now, you can only bring her back this way.”
As he expected, when she hearcl these words, Mother Shen nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, Lm going to find Qing’er.”She clutched her faintly uneasy heart and thought with some shame that this time she was guilty of wronging Fang Licheng. However, Licheng hacl always been good-natured and treated her like her own mother. Wait until the person came back: she would make up for it.
Thinking, Shen Yunqing was only being a rebellious teenager outside and playing around. When the woman outside bored him, he would naturally come back.
Mother Shen, who brainwashed herself, went to coax ancl brainwash her son too.
At first, Shen Yunqing refused.
He wantecl to fly together with Ren Fuling with all his heart. How could he let Fang Licheng occupy the position of the madam at home? Then he hearcl his mother’s meaning. he would be locked up here if he didn’t agree. ancl they wouldn’t let him see Ren Fuling all his life, his heart immediately chilled down.
In the end, he reluctantly nodcled.
For Fuling’s sake, he could hold back for the time being. He would comply with his parent’s wishes first and then find a chance to go abroad.
The Shen family still had power clomestically, but abroad, the sky was high as the birds fly.
(TNote: the sky was high as the birds fly = no restrictions/one could move freeiy at will.)
The Shen family went to the door of the Fang family together.
But unlike what they thought, the door of the Fang family was open, but the boy who was watching the cloor closed it as soon as he heard that they were from the Shen family.
When had Father Shen ever receivecl this kincl of treatment? His face immediately chilled. But looking at the people who passed by and slowed down when they saw something happening here, he managed to ease his face.
He told those around him to stancl down ancl patted the door himself.
“I, Shen, am bringing my son to the cloor today to welcome back my daughter-in-law. I’m asking the Fang family to open the cloor.”
Seeing more and more people watching. Father Shen, who was still a bit annoyed, sucldenly had an idea in his heart. He turned to Shen Yunqing, who had a cold face, and scolded, “Rebellious son! Kneel down!”
There was a fire in Shen Yunqing’s heart. but he looked around to see the few kids who followed to watch the drama. He still gritted his teeth but kneeled down.
Father Shen continued to knock on the door, saying the same words, that he wanted to welcome the young madam of the Shen family back.
It wasn’t hard to figure out what he was up to. It’s nothing more than with Shen Yunqing kneeling here today: if the Fang family openecl their door, everyone would be happy. If they didn’t open their door, they couldn’t blame him for spreading some ‘justified’ words about the Fang family. ꭆάℕÓ₿ΕṨ
After knocking on the door several times, Father Shen lookecl at the more ancl more gathering people around him, wiped his eyes, and shouted with red eyes, “It is because I, Shen, failecl to teach my son well that my daughter-in-law refused to return home. Today, I will kneel in front of the Fang family with this rebellious son and beg for forgiveness!”
When his knees were weak and old, this kneeling would become a father kneeling towarcl a daughter-in-law. Even if Shen Yunqing clid something wrong before, this sin would be on Fang Licheng’s head.
Seeing that Father Shen was going to succeed in kneeling, the door that had been tightly closed suddenly opened. A long stick reached out ancl knocked on Father Shen’s knee, causing him to stancl up straight by reflex.
“Uncle Shen, there is no need to be so polite.”
The onlookers only hearcl a clear voice saying something. Looking over, they saw a young man who lookecl like a teenager carrying a long bamboo pole coming out of the door.
He was young, but his voice was loud and clear, and his words immediately reached the ears of people around him.
"On that clay, when our Miss was humiliated in the Shen residence, I said that since then, you and I hacl made a clean break, and there should be no more contact. It seems that Uncle Shen’s memory isn’t very good.”
Father Shen was angry that his plan was broken, but he met Lin Shiheng’s eyes that looked as if he knew everything when he looked up. The heart thumped, forcibly suppressing the uneasiness, and said.
“That clay, the house was too chaotic. In addition, nephew has anger in his heart. I’m not in a position to argue. Today, I especially let my son kowtow to apologize and escort Licheng back.”
"Oh...”
Lin Shiheng sighed meaningfully long, “The Fang family just received the person back that day: the Shen family didn’t come to take them back. On the second day. it was sunny and bright, ancl the Shen family didn’t come to take them back. On the third clay, there was no cold wind, but the Shen family didn’t come to bring them back.”
“This city is full of rumors that the Shen family’s eldest young master had poor character ancl abandoned his wife, and now the Shen family came to bring her back?”
He spoke with mockery ancl directly smeared the face of the Shen family. Mother Shen lowered her heacl in shame, and Father Shen turned blue but insisted. “Previously, I beat this rebellious son heavier, and he couldn’t get out of bed for the past three clays. Today, he just got better, so we quickly came to bring the person back.”
“So that was the case.”
Lin Shiheng nodded, “It so happens that my house has hirecl a doctor to stay in residence because of our family’s Young Miss’s recurring illness. So I think it would be better to ask her to come out and help Young Master Shen to make a goocl diagnosis and see if we can make his injuries heal a little faster.”
Father Shen Fu almost gnashed his molars to death.
This boy named Lin was very young. but he wasn’t willing to step down. He wasn’t afraid of offending the Shen family ancl causing trouble!
“Someone, go get the doctor. The Fang family doesn’t interact with the Shen family, so let the cloctor diagnose Young Master Shen at the door.”
Lin Shiheng asked someone to give an order ancl then turned to Father Shen, who was livid ancl said, “Please forgive me, Uncle Shen. I’m afraid you would be troubled to pay for the diagnosis for Young Master Shen yourself. After all. our family and your family have made a clean break, so we can’t pay for your consultation fee.”
“Nephew!"
Father Shen looked black and gritted his teeth, “We have to forgive people and be merciful. If you do this to us today, aren’t you afraid to implicate Licheng’s reputation!?”
“Reputation?”
Lin Shiheng almost laughed at this statement. “You’re talking to me about reputation?”
“On that clay, when your son kept saying that it was a feudal arranged marriage with our Young Miss, why didn’t you say anything about reputation?”
“Why didn’t he want to think about reputation when he ignored the fact that our Young Miss had just given birth and opened the window so wide that she had cold wind blowing on her bocly and listened to him talk about some peaceful divorce or whatever?"
“My Uncle is also consiclered your son’s mentor. Where was his reputation when he married his mentor’s daughter and shamelessly forced his wife to divorce?”
“You came here today to block the door. Didn’t you expect the Fang family to let you in so that your son could continue to harm our Young Miss? Why, in public, you let your son kneel here to act as if he has a deep love for our Young Miss?”
Lin Shiheng said so much in one breath, but he didn’t feel out of breath. He leaned against the door leisurely, pointing to Shen Yunqing’s cold face, who was forcecl to kneel, “Look at your son’s face, saying he wants to welcome our Young Miss Fang back to the family? Do you believe it yourself?”
No one knew who let out the first shout from the people watching. Suddenly a group of people cheered and whistled up a fuss. Obviously, this group of people containecl many youngsters.
Father Shen turned pale by what he said and listened to a group of people applauding behind him. His eyes almost blacked out. He thought of turning the situation around. he didn’t want to be exposed by Lin Shiheng, but it was self-defeating.
No, he couldn’t let the Shen family’s reputation stink!
He turned around and looked at Shen Yunqing, who was kneeling behind him with cold eyes, “Tell me, clicl you come today to take Licheng home?!”
Shen Yunqing stubbornly gritted his teeth and refused to speak.
Lin Shiheng tilted his head slightly and nodded slightly to a kid running over from the crowd outside while their father and son talked.
That boy got the order and immediately turned and ran out.
Looking at his stubborn son, Father Shen almost fainted with anger, but he still clung to it, ancl his lips movecl inexplicably. He whispered, “Yunqing, your father’s begging you, if you don’t give in today, and the century-old good reputation of our Shen’s family woulcl be destroyed!"
Shen Yunqing trembled, looked up at his father with tears in his eyes, and thought of his parents’ love for him. There was a battle in his heart.
Parents’ grace couldn’t be repaid in a lifetime.
However, it was just a moment’s bow. Later, he could find the opportunity to divorce.
As if making a great sacrifice, he nodded his head heavily and spoke loudly.
“I came today because I wanted to bring Licheng back home. Please let us in, Brother Heng."
Lin Shiheng didn’t get angry.
Ancl he was even smiling.
He leaned on his bamboo stick and kinclly remindecl him, “Young Master Shen, look behind you.”
Shen Yunqing subconsciously turned and looked back.
Only to meet the eyes of Ren Fuling sitting on her horse, looking over with a pale face.
