Chapter 287 But Relax
The old lady was crying and scolding her. Chen Shiying was so ashamed that her face turned purple.
Said, "Mom, what are you talking about! I am a seven-foot tall man, familiar with the books of sages, and I still need to rely on several women to find a future for me? Yes, if I marry my sister, my career may not be as good as this It was going smoothly, but how many hidden dangers did my mother lay for me behind this smoothness? The child bride I married as a bride was a fake one. She was a small-time laborer that my mother brought to comfort my father. When my father died, I also got married. This long-term worker was driven away because she was pregnant. Who would believe me if I said I didn't know about this? How could the son put all the blame on his mother? That would not only be unethical, but also unfilial. If you don’t stand up without trust, even the child bride who proposed to my father is a fake, how can I gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future? Mom, my son would rather work his way up step by step. The road ahead is tortuous, but it is much better than taking this road that seems smooth but is actually turbulent. My son has been determined to serve the world since he was a child, to establish a destiny for the people, to inherit the unique knowledge of the saints, and to create peace for all generations. Every time I think about my father who died young and my sister who suffered so much, my heart cannot calm down and I am filled with guilt. How can I govern the country and bring peace to the world when my family is in such chaos?
The old lady held back her tears and said angrily, "You have already sat in this position, so of course you can say any nice thing. No matter how nice you say it, the fact that you have reached this point and that your career has been so smooth is all because of my plan. What grievance does Wang Juanniang have? If she hadn't been bought by me, her life would have been even more miserable. Even though I am a housewife, I know that the emperor rules the world with filial piety. "Young child bride, I am the mother who gave birth to you and raised you. You are right to listen to me. Don't tell me those big principles, I don't want to hear them."
Chen Shiying glanced at the old lady's cloudy eyes. This conversation between mother and son had happened no less than a hundred times, but the old lady only thought that she had given her son a good future and that everything she had done before was right. He didn't want to continue talking, it was useless.
He had no choice but to say, "Mom, let's not talk about the past. The debate about what is right and wrong is meaningless now. Fu'er is my biological daughter and your direct granddaughter. I don't ask you to be more charitable to her, but you can't harm her anymore. If what you did before really succeeded, how would you let your son live! The Chu family will never give up and may kill our whole family. "
The old lady said nonchalantly, "It didn't work out. Besides, everyone who knew about it, except you, Jiang and Hui Yatou, was killed by you, so what are you afraid of?"
Chen Shiying choked and his face was shaking slightly with anger. He said, "Mom, I beg you, stop making trouble. If you don't like my sister or Fu'er, just stop seeing them. Out of sight, out of mind."
The old lady said stubbornly, "No, I just want that damn girl to come to me to show her filial piety and serve me by bringing me water and medicine. That damn girl is unfilial to me and scolds me so fiercely that I have to let her Be subdued in front of me. If that damn girl dares to be disrespectful to me at all, I won't eat. No matter whether I live or die."
Chen Shiying looked at the stubborn old lady, feeling powerless all over her body. After pondering for a while, he said, "Okay, listen to me. However, today after Fu'er went to the Chu family to attend the birthday party, he went directly to his other father's brother's house. When she comes back tomorrow, I will ask her to come with you. Front-end water delivers medicine.”
The old lady didn't quite believe it and said, "You didn't lie to me?"
Chen Shiying said, "Why did my son lie to you? It's true. She won't be back until noon tomorrow."
The old lady added, "Did you see that that damn girl only recognizes her stepfather, and even respects her stepfather's brothers. No matter how much we treat her, we still can't win her heart. Hui My son grew up in front of you, and now he doesn’t have his biological mother. It’s pitiful that you should love her more. She is already fourteen years old and it’s time for her to get married.”
Chen Shiying said, "Hui'er is my biological daughter, of course I love her. Don't worry, mother, I will find a good marriage for her."
Chen Shiying had no energy to coax the old lady anymore and walked out of Hengshouyuan with heavy steps.
Before leaving the hospital, he said to his mother, who was in charge of Hengshou Hospital, "Watch out, don't let the second girl come to see the old lady privately these days."
Today it was Aunt Green's turn to attend the bed, but he still walked to the main courtyard.
Jiang saw the frustrated Chen Shiying suddenly arrive, and guessed that he must have been angered by the old lady again. She quickly handed over a bowl of ginseng tea that she was about to drink. After watching him finish it, she stood up and massaged him**.
The servants all left.
More than two-quarters of an hour later, Chen Shiying took a long breath and regained his composure. He closed his eyes and said, "Tomorrow, tell mother that Fu'er will go back to the countryside directly from Chen San's house."
Jiang agreed, without stopping, and said softly, "Master, today I want to say a few heartfelt words... Please don't blame me." Hearing Chen Shiying's hum, he hesitated for a while, and then said, " Master, please relax. If something happens one day, I won’t be dismissed or demoted. At most, I won’t be promoted easily in the eyes of my children and I, regardless of whether I am an official or not, I will be the same. The man who stands upright is the father they look up to."
After hearing this, Chen Shiying burst into tears from the corners of his eyes...
In the Rose Courtyard, Chen Yuqing's three siblings all came. Chen Afu was talking to them, thinking that the old lady hadn't made trouble for a few days since he came to the Chen Mansion. This was not in line with her character. The old lady would not not make trouble. She must have been strangled in the cradle by Chen Shiying. I don't know how he did it.
Also, Chen Yuhui didn't come out to get in the way. He must have been confined by Jiang...
After a dreamless night, Chen Afu dressed neatly and went to the main courtyard the next day.
It was still dark at this time. Except for Chen Yuhui, the four siblings of the Chen family came here.
Seeing them, Chen Shiying had a little smile on his face and said, "A harmonious family is the best. You siblings should always live in harmony like this."
Chen Yulan immediately expressed her determination, "Don't worry, Daddy, my sisters and I will get along well."
Chen Shiying looked at Chen Afu. What he cared about most was her attitude. Chen Afu smiled and said, "Dad, I am the eldest sister and I will love my younger brothers and sisters."
Just after dinner, someone in the front yard came to report that Lord Chu was here. Chen Afu said goodbye to Jiang Shi, Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia, and went to the front yard with Chen Shiying and Chen Yulan.
