All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 52 The eldest brother is like a father
"Why do you mind?"

Mu Huai'an just thought it was funny, and didn't care about spreading his hands, "As long as her people are with me, what does it matter where her heart is and who she has in her heart? As a person, the biggest advantage of me is generosity and structure."

"Marriage is an important matter, and the two must be happy. It's not a joke." Chu Yan was very displeased, and a layer of coldness was densely formed in the bottom of his eyes.

Mu Huai'an raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Speaking these words from His Highness's mouth, it is really... so fresh. In order not to be given a marriage, you didn't..."

Halfway through the speech, seeing Chu Yan's cold eyes slashing towards him, Mu Huai'an could hardly keep his mouth shut.

He thought for a while, and finally decided to use a strong dose of medicine, strangling the young seedlings that hadn't broken through the ground in front of him in the soil.

"To be honest, before the old ancestor of the Shen family passed away, he had made a decision between the two of us, and now Lingxi is my unmarried wife..." Mu Huai'an asked worriedly, "Your Highness will never want to marry the next official." To rob a wife, to be that stupid king who forcibly robs his ministers' wives?"

Chu Yan's face was cold and cold to the end, "Have you ever asked her what she meant about this marriage? She agreed?"

"That's natural."

Mu Huai'an smiled slowly, his smile was as bright as the sun, and his brows and eyes were full of joy, "The two ancestors are enlightened people, and they agreed to ask the two of us before making a decision. My ancestors solemnly If you ask me about it, the ancestors of the Shen family will naturally ask about Lingxi."

The word "consonance" is very affectionate.

Chu Yan's jaw tightened slightly, and his long and narrow star eyes looked at him coldly, like frozen water.

Just when Mu Huai'an felt that the smile on his face would be frozen in his eyes——
After a long time, Chu Yan said calmly: "Okay, Gu knows."

*
In this room, after Mu Huai'an and Chu Yan left, Shen Lingxi went directly to the Yifeng Courtyard where Shen Liang rested together with the ancestors and magpies.

Shen Ji left Songzhuyuan, and sure enough, he went to find Shen Liang.

The people serving in the yard were sent away by Shen Ji, but it was convenient for Shen Lingxi to stand outside the window and listen to the corner.

Shen Lingxi originally thought that Shen Ji would be furious, and no matter how bad he was, he would follow his previous attitude towards her and go through it in front of Shen Liang.

Unexpectedly-
"Second brother, how can you be so confused! Mother committed suicide by swallowing gold to save you. If Shen Lingxi hadn't told me, I would have been kept in the dark by you and mother. Do you know that mother left a suicide note before she left, Let me treat you well, when you did those things, did you ever think of your mother's kindness in nurturing you over the years?"

This attitude is many times softer than that of Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes to look at her ancestor.

By this time, the old ancestor was too angry to speak.

"Brother, I'm the one who's sorry for mother." Shen Liang's heart-piercing cry came from inside the room, and he beat his chest, "I know that I have committed a serious crime. If I had known this earlier, I should have ended it in prison. You should kill me, I am ashamed of A Niang, I am ashamed of you, I am ashamed of the spirits of the ancestors of our Shen family, brother, you kill me..."

By the end, he was crying so hard.

Not only him, even Cui Yuan, who was serving next to him, also knelt on the ground, put her hands on her belly that was so flat that no ups and downs could be seen, sobbing and crying very sadly.

"Master Hou, if you want to blame, you can blame the slave girl. The slave girl shouldn't be pregnant with the second master's flesh and blood, and shouldn't talk about it in front of the ancestors. It's all the servant girl's fault. Please let the second master go, he is innocent. , he doesn't know anything..."

The two cried so much that one was more miserable than the other.

Shen Ji was moved.

"The matter has come to this, what's the use of killing you."

He stepped forward to grab Shen Liang's hand that kept beating his chest, then looked at Cui Yuan, frowning tightly, "Get up too, you are the only flesh and blood of the second child in your stomach, and it is also because of this that the ancestors... can't tolerate it." There is a loss."

"If something happens to the second master, what's the point of living with the slave and the child in her womb..." Cui Yuan whimpered.

"Okay! Don't cry!" Shen Ji said in a deep voice: "I came back this time, it's that girl Shen Lingxi, who is determined to seek justice for her mother, and even invited Mu Shaoqing and the embroidered clothes envoy to support her. This girl is really very fussy, and if she makes a fuss about it and hurts the face of the Hou Mansion for no reason, I have to give her an explanation. Why don't I send you to Zhuangzi for now, and after my mother has passed the first seven days, I will take the Send the girl away and pick you up again?"

"Bastard! Bastard!"

The old ancestor was so angry that he rushed to Shen Ji, "Every time you scold him or hit him, you can still express your anger on my behalf. You still want to send him away? Want to bring him back again? How could I have given birth? You are such an incomprehensible thing!"

The human body has died and turned into a dead soul.

All the conduct, manners, and upbringing learned while living in the world are meaningless, leaving only the most primitive emotions and desires.

The old ancestor swung his arms round, clenching his fists and covering his head and face, he hammered Shen Ji.

Shen Lingxi looked in through the crack of the window, and with all her strength, if she could hit Shen Ji on the head, it would definitely hit him all over the head.

Pity.

Shen Ji didn't know that he was being beaten violently by his mother, so he told him: "It's settled, I will call Shen Lingxi over later, reprimand you both, and drive you out of the house, don't you Argue with her again."

Shen Lingxi raised her eyebrows.

Well, the old ancestor is not here, and now she is the ancestor.

You have to work hard for Xuan Pinghou to put on a play in front of her.

"Eldest brother is like a father, elder brother is what he says, and younger brother has nothing to say, it's just..."

Shen Liang didn't know what to think, sadness came from it, and tears fell down again, "It's just that my mother died because of me, but I couldn't send him the last journey. It's really heart-wrenching, and I feel ashamed of my mother..."

"Mother hopes that you are safe and sound, and she will definitely not care about these things with you." Shen Ji sighed.

Seeing that he was just a wisp of dead soul, the ancestor couldn't help him at all, so he hated to stop.

"That was before I didn't see clearly that he was a beast, you are a bastard!" the old ancestor scolded.

That Shen Liang's eyes were filled with tears, "I know that my elder brother thinks about my younger brother everywhere, but I can't hurt my elder brother..."

He said sadly: "Before I was captured by the Beiya, and I received an amnesty from the emperor and returned home. If my brother kicks me out and is seen by others, what will be the face of the holy majesty? Now that my mother is gone, there is no one. Let me remind you next to my brother, I am only worried that my brother will get into trouble with the Holy One."

Shen Ji was only focused on dealing with Shen Lingxi and kept the matter to himself, but he didn't think about this level, and hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Shen Liang secretly stepped up, "Besides, when my mother was here, she hadn't made it clear that the family would be separated. On the first seven days, I heard that Shen Lingxi was going to hand over the warehouse and account books. I never took these extraneous things to heart. I also believe that brother will not treat me harshly. But if I am not here, in front of the elders of the clan, brother will inevitably be suspected of embezzling the family property, which may cause criticism..."

Shen Ji hesitated even more, but when he thought of the appearance of Mu Huaian and the embroidered envoy just now, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

"In the final analysis, it was my mother who indulged that girl too much when she was alive." Shen Liang sighed: "She is just a girl who has not left the cabinet. No matter how noisy she is, can she run out of the Hou's mansion? Brother is still too soft-hearted. Which boudoir girl in the capital always shows her face outside? The boudoir girl should stay in the boudoir. She doesn’t go out of the house and doesn’t see her husband, so who can support her beyond her father?”

These words were spoken in Shen Ji's heart.

"What you said is very reasonable. You can't leave the mansion, you have to stay."

Shen Ji slapped the table hard, and made a decision, "I'll get someone to lock up Shen Lingxi now, until the ancestor's first seven, and release her after the funeral is over!"
