Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 231 An unkind father and an unfilial son

"you!"

Father Shen slapped his hand hard on the table, causing the tea cup to sway three times.

He looked at his son and couldn't tell what kind of anger he felt in his heart. If he could put him back into his mother's womb, he would definitely say without hesitation: "You traitor! How could I have a son like you?"

Shen Huai looked at him calmly and said nothing.

"I was ill when I left the capital. I traveled all the way for you and was only delayed for one day because of exhaustion. Not to mention that you are fine now. Even if you have some shortcomings, do you still want me to pay for your life?"

"That's not necessary, it's just that I don't like to hear these pretentious words that are full of loopholes."

Shen Huai's patience was gradually running out. He raised his hand to smooth the corner of the quilt on the edge of the bed, and said in a calm tone: "I can find out about your delay in Jining. If others are willing to check, they can naturally find out too." - With my father's resourcefulness, not to mention me, even if I want to take advantage of Huai'an's situation, I'm afraid I can't do it. If I don't, I'll be used as a sword by others, and in the end it will cost the lives of the entire Shen family."

He didn't care about Father Shen's livid expression, and said calmly: "This is not a place to camp, you'd better get rid of all those shameful thoughts as soon as possible!"

Father Shen felt as if three eggs had been stuffed into his mouth, and his face became increasingly pale and pale, "You——"

Shen Huai looked at him indifferently, waiting for the next words.

He looked at Shen Huai's expression and saw no signs of anger, so he continued: "Your mother is lonely and can't stand it. That's all. After she left, you went crazy again..."

"Shen Huai, wealth is based on virtue, and family is based on harmony. You have been making trouble for so many years, and it is enough." It was quite bitter and sincere.

Father Shen only said that he was soft-spoken rather than tough, and he thought he had found a suitable way to speak, so he became more sincere and kind: "Zhao has been a child for many years, and even though he doesn't treat you like a son, he is still very tolerant. , you are a cold-hearted child, you should be softened, why are you still embarrassing her now? And your two younger brothers, they were ignorant and made mistakes when they were young, but their elders have patiently taught them. We all swore to make things right, but you didn't expect that you would ruin one's life and make the other sluggish for more than half a year. It's so innocent to say the least..."

"Chasing wind and shadow?"

It's like looking at a poor creature.

Father Shen panted, his fair scholar's face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and asked: "Your mother has been dead for so many years, why do you still refuse to stop? You are trying to blame her death on my head. You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, have, you, we, you, I, want, do, do I, are, do, do,, do, do, do, do, need,, end end, will end will need be will must be must should be must must must must mustmber must must thereof must thereof must thereofcomp thereof must thereof thereof thereof sound property of rectify, murder, vengeance on.”

The left Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple are both Shaoqings, but their weights are very different.

Gao Jun quietly took two steps away from the corridor. Many memories popped into his mind again in an instant. He looked up, looking beyond the treetops and roof tiles, and saw the open clear sky in the distance. He was irritated by the arrival of Shen Yue and his wife. , only slightly faded.

In the room, Father Shen, who had calmed down, spoke again, but this time, he changed his tone to a softer tone.

There was just a crisp sound, and Father Shen threw the tea cup and cursed: "You evildoer! You have no respect for your elders. Do you still remember that I am your father?!"

Father Shen was embarrassed again and again, and became furious again: "At such a young age, you only relied on the protection of the Queen Mother and the Emperor to gain respect from people here. Do you really think that your wings are strong?"

Shen Huai raised his eyes and looked into Father Shen's tearful eyes. The absurdity buried deep in his heart was finally awakened by the person in front of him after three years, and gradually evaporated, finally turning into a ridiculous smile, and burst into laughter. Out of the throat.

Father Shen's face was fierce, but he couldn't stand it any longer and asked.

"What are you looking at?"

All that was left was Father Shen's rapid breathing, one after another, and gradually turned into a big gasp, and finally was pressed in the throat.

Father Shen was used to being dignified and always hid himself away from other people. Now he was ridiculed in front of his face, and he almost fainted with anger.

Dali Temple is ranked in the third rank, and Shaoqing is the fourth rank, wearing a red robe, and has the right to participate in court discussions. As for Honglu Temple, it is in charge of foreign guests and court rituals. It was originally separated from the Ministry of Rites, so at best It is an executive department, and Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is only a junior rank.

Shen Huai didn't speak. His indifference and calmness were in stark contrast to Father Shen's excitement. His eyes were like deep waves in an ancient well, reflecting Father Shen's eyes.

Father Shen was stunned when he heard the words. He understood what Shen Huai meant, and he was not "young and ignorant" who were only half a month apart.

"Evil! Do you really want to fight to the death?"

It was in this silence that Shen Huai spoke softly.

"I...I didn't mean that." Father Shen's voice suddenly became harsh.

"Well, you'd better not mean that," Shen Huai said coldly, "otherwise, I won't mind destroying another of your sons."

"Hmm," Shen Huai looked at Father Shen, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said sarcastically: "Young man is ignorant? - Could it be that the person who is only half a month younger than me is not Shen Yuan?"

"Father, could you have made a mistake? The one who has to keep the secret is you, not me."

Gao Jun outside the door suddenly felt a shiver all over his body. After following Shen Huai for so long, he felt cold in his bones again.

Seeing that he seemed willing to listen, Father Shen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued: "You are the eldest son and eldest grandson of my Shen family. This family belongs to you no matter how you say it. The family business will be passed down, and you will be a father for a long time." I want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you - I was really sorry for your mother back then, but as a man stands up for himself, even if there are some disputes between wives and concubines, it is something that every matron should deal with. Now that you are older, you have seen more of the world. There are many, tell me, which one is not like this?"

There was sudden silence in the room.

Shen Huai chuckled inaudibly and said slowly: "You know whether I want to rely on the Queen Mother's power. But you, since you value this reliance so much, must have put a lot of thought into it, but why have you spent three years? It has passed, and you are still a junior Beijing official from the fifth rank?"

This is not a topic that should be entangled. Father Shen chose to pretend not to hear, and took two steps closer to the bed with tears in his eyes, "Shen Huai, you have been traveling abroad in the past few years, and your family has been thinking about you. Now you have a brighter future." Okay, you should be able to shine on the lintel of my Shen family, and you must not waste time on those trivial details!"

Shen Huai watched the teacup explode with flowers on the ground, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a neutral tone: "Why, I haven't seen you for three years. You are really getting old and you have forgotten - I mean, look. For the sake of my grandparents, do I call you 'father'?"

Gao Jun stood outside the door and couldn't help but quietly hissed, "Master, this is really murderous and heartbreaking!"

At this point, he suddenly took a long breath, met Shen Huai's unpredictable gaze, and finally changed the topic again, "I know: no one in the Shen family can control you, and they are all afraid of you, but now you have a good career. , it’s time to have some scruples, right?”

He repeated these four words, thought about it very seriously for a while, and asked: "What? Now, has it become just a matter of speculation?"

Shen Huai slightly adjusted his leaning posture, his eyebrows returned to indifference, as if he was not the one who threatened him just now, "Oh?"

Shen Huai twitched the corner of his mouth noncommittally, as if he still had the patience to listen.

But when he thought of his two sons far away, his face became filled with the light of a loving father. Looking at the unpleasant person in front of him, he endured it again and again, and finally he could only sigh: "Oh, after all, this family will protect the secret." , who is not protecting you?"

He laughed twice, but the fatigue in his heart was still pressing heavily with no release, so he raised his voice and called Gao Jun to come in.

"Go and bring Mrs. Zhao in."

"What are you going to do?" Father Shen asked defensively, "Don't you want to see her?"

"Put away your hypocrisy, father, my patience has run out." Shen Huai closed his eyes tiredly, raised his hand and pressed it slowly on his forehead, saying: "Since it's all 'minutiae', then I'll cut it off." Bar."
