Chapter Twenty-One (Part 6)
"The master is back..." the woman's delicate voice.
When Shen Li heard the voice, he stuck his head out and saw Mr. Shen leaning on a woman. Under a plain white lantern, he took a picture of the woman. Even though the woman was wearing plain white clothes, there was no hair on her head. , the servant girl is dressed up, but her waist is extremely thin, her breasts are small, her buttocks are plump, even if she can't see her face, her figure alone is attractive and charming.
I don’t know what Shen Juren did to make the beautiful maid say: "Master, don’t..."
Although he said no, the maid became more and more attached to Shen Juren. The two of them were close to each other, wishing they could be one person together, and entered the east wing.
A lamp was lit in the east chamber. After the two people entered, they didn't even bother to blow the lamp. They just glued it together in one place, and the shadow was clearly reflected on the paper window. The two of them stood side by side, using their strength, and looked at Shen Juren's face. The figure, using both hands and feet, rubbed her breasts and buttocks, and then touched her face to form the character "LV".
Shen Li stood at the door of the courtyard, his expression livid, obviously very angry. Shen Rui stood beside Shen Li, looking at the couple's figure on the paper window, he was also dumbfounded.
Is Shen Juren venting his pressure?
According to this owner's impression, Shen Juren can call himself a benevolent gentleman, not a lustful and frivolous person. Except for one wife and one concubine, there are no other maids in the house. For this reason, Laoan people have a lot of affection for the Sun family. He was slandered. But Shen Juren himself became an upright person in the eyes of his tribe.
But now, during Sun's funeral, it was also the night before the funeral, and Shen Juren was acting like this. Looking at the atmosphere between this bitch and a man, it didn't look like they were having an affair for the first time.
Thinking of this, Shen Rui glanced at Shen Li. Shen Li was angry, but there was no surprise. Shen Li's ungentleman behavior of insulting Shen Juren before seemed to be justified. Shen Li must have heard about it. The bad rumors were just confirmed with my own eyes tonight.
"Unworthy of being a father!" Shen Li gritted his teeth and cursed, turned around and looked at Shen Rui.
Shen Rui could only lower his head and look depressed. Shen Juren was also a strange person. He had been a gentleman for decades, but he started to lose his appearance just after his wife died.
When Shen Li spoke again, the two of them had already left the study and went to Shen Rui's temporary guest house.
After eating two cups of warm tea, Shen Li's expression warmed up slightly, and he looked at Shen Rui who was about to speak but hesitated. Seeing this, Shen Rui waved to Dong Xi who had just served tea, and there were only two brothers left in the room.
"I had heard some rumors, but I couldn't believe it. I just thought that Uncle Yuan has always been upright and polite, and there might be some villains slandering him. I didn't expect it, but it was true. Although the red sleeves add fragrance, it was just a romantic affair, but now it is My aunt is loving her filial piety, but Uncle Yuan's actions have caused the love between husband and wife, and the love between father and son!" At this point, Shen Li couldn't help but gnashed his teeth: "How can such a ruthless person have the heart to pity his son!"
When Shen Rui heard the words, he could only remain silent.
Although Shen Rui looked down upon Shen Juren's behavior, it was not difficult to guess what he was thinking. Could it be that the Sun family was too good, which made Shen Juren feel ashamed and act like a gentleman. Today, there is no better wife than Come on, this gentleman can't hold it any longer.
Sun was born as a merchant, and as a daughter from a foreign country, she was like a fish in water in the well-known Shen family. Everyone praised her. It was Shen Juren's luck and misfortune to marry such a wife. It was not just Zhang who was under great pressure. Lao An and Shen Juren himself.
Even though he understood, Shen Rui couldn't understand Shen Juren's behavior. As Shen Li said, no matter what the reason, Shen Juren indulged his wife and indulged in sexual intercourse, which really hurt the relationship between husband and wife, and the relationship between father and son. point.
It's just father and son. Shen Li said these things, but Shen Rui couldn't say them.
Shen Li also thought of this, sighed, touched Shen Rui's head, and said: "You are a good boy, Sixth Brother will never let you be wronged. Originally, considering the relationship between you and your son, some things should not be done. I plan to say it openly. Now I see that Uncle Yuan is a cold-hearted person. If he doesn’t tell it openly, you will be the only one who will be wronged. Not to mention that Sixth Brother is reluctant to let go, even if Auntie is underground, it is difficult to close his eyes. Now Auntie has just passed away Uncle Yuan has been like this for a month. How can he expect him to take care of the relationship between father and son in the future? It’s just that after the matter is revealed, the relationship between father and son will be hurt. Brother Six can see that you are a successful child, and you are not ignorant. You are a naughty child in the world. You are not estranged from others. You have to make up your own mind as to what you should do."
Shen Rui was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "No matter whether I love my son or not, the elder who can make the decision in this family is Lao'an. I don't want to suffer from cold and hunger anymore, so I ask my sixth brother to protect me."
Shen Li was startled when he heard this and said, "You don't blame Zheng and Shen Jin?"
If you don't ask, it means you resent your grandmother and biological father.
Shen Rui did not answer directly, but said: "Although I don't know why I have attracted the hatred of my parents and elders, the gift of childbirth is there, and I should accept it as a gift. It's just that the sage taught 'a small stick goes away, a big stick is received', so always It’s not good to violate filial piety.”
Shen Li couldn't help but take a closer look at Shen Rui's expression. Seeing that he had a calm expression and no hint of resentment, he was very pleased and said: "That's right. No matter what the situation is, it is the way of a gentleman to be upright in body and mind."
Shen Rui pursed his lips and looked shy.
Shen Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Second brother, wealth touches people's hearts. The dowry left by my aunt should belong to you. But if the elders really misappropriate this dowry for selfish reasons, what will you do?"
After hearing this, Shen Rui didn't show it on his face, but he was surprised in his heart. Wasn't Sun's dowry already donated? Shen Li was investigating the affairs of the fourth house outside, so he should have some clues about how to bring up the elders' misappropriation. if?
Looking at Shen Juren's previous actions, it is indeed selfish; Zhang Lao'an is not a reasonable person. It is not unusual to say that these two people took advantage of Shen Rui's young age to embezzle the Sun family's dowry. What is strange is that the Sun family donated the dowry. This move can not only obtain imperial honors, but also be included in the family tree, so it must be true. Then what Shen Li said about his elders embezzling the dowry is not true.
But Shen Li frowned in thought, why?
Although he was doubtful in his heart, Shen Rui showed no signs of it on his face and said extraordinarily openly: "A good girl doesn't wear wedding clothes, a good man doesn't eat the food of a separate family, and I have both hands and feet. Although I am young now, I can't make a lot of money. Wait. When my little brother grows up, he will be able to support himself."
Shen Li couldn't help but feel moved and said: "You have to know that what my aunt left behind was originally a fortune of thousands of dollars. Even if you don't do anything, you can still live in fine clothes and live in fine clothes for a lifetime. If it has been misappropriated by others and divided up, how can you bear it? "
Shen Rui blinked his eyes. He was being too generous, making Shen Li think that he was a child who didn't know how to make money.
He slowly lowered his face, showing a calmness that was befitting his age: "How could you give it up? Since it was left by my mother, it is filled with her love for her son. It's just that the money and silk are all external possessions. , you can’t turn against your relatives and elders just because you can’t bear to part with them. If you give up money, you can exchange for peace and happiness for your family, which is also a great kindness.”
If the Sun family's dowry is really in the hands of Zhang Lao'an and Shen Juren, then of course they will try their best to get it back if they turn against each other. But since Shen Rui knew that he was gone, he still tried to force it with words. But for Zhang Lao'an, He also pointed out one thing or two about Shen Juren's ugly appearance. If those two people cause trouble in the future, they can also blame it on making money.
But in Shen Li's ears, he felt very sad and burst into tears: "Second brother has inherited my aunt's temperament and is kind and gentle. But there is always justice in this world. Sixth brother will never let you suffer the injustice in vain." go!"
Shen Rui became more and more confused as he listened, but it was difficult to ask questions. He just looked at Shen Li with a dependent and grateful look and said, "Fortunately, Sixth Brother is still here."
The two brothers came out for a while, and without further delay, they went back to the mourning hall together.
The nephew of the Shen family in the mourning hall was drowsy. When he saw Shen Li approaching, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He couldn't help but move closer, hoping to take the opportunity to get close. However, Shen Li was full of worries and had no intention of dealing with everyone. He said, " Don't disturb my aunt's peace," and sent everyone away.
Although there was desire in Shen Jin's eyes, she did not come forward. Shen Quan could not hide his curiosity and came close to Shen Rui, with a face full of gossip, and whispered in his ear: "What are you doing with Brother Rui from the six tribes?" Miles?"
Shen Rui glanced at him and said, "There will be a lot of things tomorrow. Brother Liu Clan gave me some instructions." After that, he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After a busy day and night today, Shen Rui was exhausted physically and mentally. Besides, he knew that there would be a big drama tomorrow, whether it was the revelation of Sun's dowry donation or the incident of Zhang Lao'an and Shen Juren embezzling Sun's dowry. As a result of the incident, Shen Rui, as the person involved, is the center of attention of the world.
However, due to his young age, no matter how hard those people try, the responsibility cannot be implicated on him. If the dowry donation was revealed just after Sun passed away, some people might think that Sun Rui was an unworthy descendant. This caused the birth mother to have no hope; but Sun Rui stayed at the funeral for a month and acted like a filial son in front of the Shen family members. If someone wants to slander, it depends on whether Shen Li can tolerate it.
Moreover, some people in Shen Ju allowed the eldest son of the concubine to take the position of filial son first. Even if some people think too much, they still have to think about whether Mrs. Sun was discouraged by her husband and did not want to take advantage of the concubine.
In this way, regardless of whether it is the former or the latter that will be revealed tomorrow, in the eyes of the world, it will be him, the son of the Sun family, who will be pitied. No matter what the matter is, he only needs to show his confusion, which is enough to attract the sympathy and pity of the clan members. As for Zhang Laoan and Shen Juren doing unkind acts in the future, it depends on whether there is an opportunity.
Shen Rui felt at ease, tiredness came over him, and his chin drooped. Seeing Shen Rui's appearance, Shen Quan did not leave, but sat next to Shen Rui, put his head on his shoulder, and whispered : "Lean closer and don't fall."
Shen Rui said "hmm" drowsily, yawned, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.
Shen Quan also yawned as if he was infected, but because he was bearing Shen Rui's weight, he did not dare to sleep. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked around to distract himself. Unexpectedly, he met Shen Li's eyes. Upright.
Shen Quan was startled at first, then saw Shen Li nodding towards him, and almost stood up in panic. At this time, Shen Li's eyes had moved away from Shen's body and fell on Shen Rui, with a hint of worry on his face. Shen Quan scratched the back of his head, and felt a little bit sour in his heart. For a moment, he thought that it would be great if he were Shen Rui, and he was so valued by his brother from the No. 1 clan. At the same time, he thought about Shen Rui's motherless situation, which was really pitiful. I can't blame my mother and brother from the top clan for feeling uneasy.
Shen Jin was standing by, watching the interaction between these people, and couldn't tell how he felt.
