Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 232 An unkind father and an unfilial son (2)

It was during this interval that Su Ya entered the yard carrying a drawer of food boxes.

The food box was filled with fresh aroma and the aroma of herbs. It was Yan's nourishing chicken soup that had just been cooked. The medicine packet for nourishing qi and blood was specially provided by Liu Sandian.

With the wedding date so close, Yan ranked first among the most nervous people.

Like every mother-in-law of a daughter to be married in the world, she secretly held a breath for Su Ya in her heart: As the saying goes, "On the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, when the gold medal is named," Shen Huai was so promising that he took away the high spirits of being named on the gold medal. It's all ahead, and if that's the case, then how can there be any regrets about the wedding ceremony?

She looked at Su Ya, who was still injured, and then at Shen Huai, who was much thinner. She felt that she had a huge responsibility on her shoulders: "No, you two have to make up for it, and you have to make up for it well!"

Then she dove into the kitchen, made a pot of chicken soup first, and hurriedly asked Su Ya to bring it over while it was hot and drink it with Shen Huai. She also specially warned: "Getting married is a laborious job. I am busy from morning to night. I am so tired." It’s not like that, you two are obedient and you have to make up for it!”

Mrs. Yan just said something ordinary, but she didn't know that her daughter had a quick mind. She had already quietly read through the books and heard the phrase "physical work" in a different way.

Su Ya had something in her mind. She walked for a while carrying the food box with a blushing face, thinking that Shen Huai was recovering well and doing manual labor wouldn't be a problem, right? Her mind was filled with free time. She bit her lip and snickered as she walked, talking nonsense. A branch of flowers and a young leaf fluttered to the west, and the already elegant house was brought out of the spring.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Shen Huai's courtyard, he heard a shout from inside the house——

"Shen Huai! You promised our ancestors not to embarrass us!"

She suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, and a feeling similar to protecting a calf arose spontaneously: What kind of father is this? Shen Huai escaped from death, is still sick, and needs care, but this father came here leisurely without saying anything, but met him when he came. What does it look like to embarrass your son?

She couldn't leave now. Although the courtyard door was quite far away from the inside, it was enough if she wanted to hear the conversation in the room clearly.

Father Shen said solemnly: "Since I have to pretend to be sick, this wedding invitation is not suitable for me to send."

Unexpectedly, Shen Huai looked at him a few more times and said, "That's okay."

"The emperor asked me to leave the capital."

"You, what exactly do you want to do?" Father Shen finally gave up struggling and asked frustratedly.

Su Ya stopped hesitantly, her charming thoughts receding, and it turned out that Shen Huai's father had already arrived.

The room was quiet except for Father Shen's heavy breathing.

"Me? I'm going to send the wedding invitation to Cao Du?" Father Shen's mind rang in his head and he asked in disbelief.

"Father is not suitable for scheming. He should return to Beijing as soon as possible and serve his ancestors honestly."

But it was obvious that the atmosphere at the father-son reunion was not good. Su Ya frowned slightly and was about to walk back while carrying the food box. This was not the right time for her to show up.

"I can't go out anymore?" Father Shen raised his head, "At least I am in the officialdom, you can't deny me dignity like this."

"Well," Shen Huai nodded, but when Shen Yue looked slightly relaxed, he suddenly asked: "Then did my father think it was appropriate to avoid me and quietly discuss the marriage with the Qiu family?"

Even though his face had been stepped on and rubbed by Shen Huai countless times, at this moment, Father Shen still felt that he had been trampled on to a new low.

Father Shen looked up in surprise and saw Shen Huai taking a big red post with gold seal from the bedside and handing it over.

"Well, I asked you to go out to Beijing to visit the doctor, but I didn't let you wait for an opportunity to come and work on the water transport." Shen Huai said coldly: "Since you are already acclimatized, you will continue to be acclimatized for a few more days, and rest in Zhouzhai for two or three days, ten Let’s set off back to Beijing early on the 21st.”

"Be decent?"

He hesitantly took it and opened it. The elegant handwriting was particularly neat and it was written by Shen Huai himself.

He was thin and sharp, and looking at Father Shen was like looking at a pile of flesh and blood, with the smell of blood in his eyes.

"Here!" Father Shen squeezed the wedding invitation tightly, "Your wedding date has been set?!"

Shen Huai curled his lips slightly, "Originally, my father arrived late and went straight to the Governor's Mansion, leaving me alone. I was afraid that outsiders would slander my father unkindly. Now, my father will personally announce the good news for me. This dignity , it should be able to make up for one or two, is father satisfied?"

However, Father Shen's next words stopped her in her tracks.

"You, you dare?!" Father Shen didn't have any chance of escaping from death. He struggled and said, "What's the use of scaring me by saying these cruel words to you? Don't you want to have a future?"

Father Shen listened to Shen Huai's words, the wedding invitation in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, and thin beads of sweat broke out from his forehead.

However, Shen Huai hadn't finished speaking yet, "Father, there's no need to worry too much. At least your grandparents are protecting you, so I won't kill you easily."

Shen Huai opened the quilt and slowly sat up. He didn't put on any shoes. He just lowered his two long legs and stepped firmly on the footrest in front of the bed with his bare feet.

"This last reminder, father must remember - if you dare to tarnish the word 'mother' again, I will immediately crush Zhao's bones to ashes, and then treat your two treasures in the same way, and finally mix them into a bowl Gumi, let me feed you a drink."

"To show respect, I will still send you a wedding invitation," Shen Huai changed the subject and said, "My father came by chance and just wanted to be dignified. He personally sent this wedding invitation to the governor on my behalf."

Shen Huai tilted his head slightly in the darkness, and the corners of his lips curved in a cold arc.

If it were in the past, he would definitely take over this dignity even if he knew that all his dignity was ruined. But now...

A strange voice and a surname were mentioned. It was not difficult to guess the identity of the caller.

The floor tiles seemed a little uneven, and the chair legs were shaking up and down in the invisible gaps, making an unpleasant creaking sound. Father Shen, who always loved dignity, had no time to care about his embarrassment.

Everything is left unsaid.

"No banquet? Okay, okay..." Father Shen muttered and repeated.

"Do you still want to kill your mother here?"

Father Shen couldn't help but imagine a horrifying scene following his description, and shuddered violently.

He was so abusive, Shen Huai must be heartbroken.

Su Ya turned around and looked at the yard again. The door was wide open. Gao Jun and Xu Yuan were not there. So only Shen Huai and his father were in the room?

Shen Huai put down the hand on his forehead and slowly focused his eyes on Father Shen, "You think I dare not do it?"

His son is getting married, and only the father knows about it, and more importantly - "Why didn't I know this before?"

"If father had known earlier, he would never have thought of making decisions for me again?"

The sun hid in the clouds at this moment, and the light in the room was dim, so his face was hidden in the shadows. The glimmer of light reflected by his white shirt reflected his eyes, which made him look particularly pale and sinister, and the words he spoke were even more terrifying.

Unexpectedly, Father Shen suddenly changed his face, stepped back in fear, and fell into his chair, "You..."

"The current situation in the water transportation and Huai'an is unstable, and all officials are in danger. I am still ill, and I have taken up a new post in Dali Temple. I need to respect myself even more, so I will not specially entertain officials."

Father Shen was completely suppressed by him, but he couldn't figure out how he ended up in such a situation, so he glanced away in frustration.

"After several years of not seeing each other, my father is still so restless and you are so confident. Could it be that——"

Su Ya took another step forward with concern, and heard a sneer piercing the air.

Matricide?

"Father is my elder, and I have already met Governor Cao, so naturally it is you who should go," Shen Huai said, "and please father explain to Governor Cao: In order to avoid suspicion, although the Shen family has not arranged a special banquet, it will be held in the old man's house." The house will serve as a flowing banquet for three days. Anyone who comes to congratulate us, regardless of their status, does not need to give gifts. They can say some happy words and eat and drink as they like. There have been many twists and turns during this period, but it is so lively and lively, and everyone is happy."

Father Shen lowered his eyes to cover up the violent fluctuations in his eyes. How should we deal with this?

Father Shen was shocked and said: "You, how did you know?"

Shen Huai looked at the man in front of him from the shadows. Even if he didn't miss anything, it didn't make him happy.

Naturally, he does not know everything, but the few days he has lived in Cadu Mansion have been enough for Xu Yuan and Gao Jun to writhe. Those people in the Qiu family's backyard are not as vigilant as to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

However, he still couldn't help but feel ridiculous that the person in front of him was stupid, ridiculous, cold-hearted, and greedy, but he was actually related by blood to him.

All kinds of origins have long been entangled and mixed in the bitter days, but how can he talk to Su Ya?
