Chapter 207 Bloodline
Chapter 207 Bloodline
"Father, I have finished speaking."
Shen Qingyue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, bowed and replied.
He felt that what he said was reasonable and sincere.
Sure enough, my father laughed!
Shen Xiuyang smiled and clapped his hands, "Good, good, good! How could I, Shen Xiuyang, have given birth to three beasts who regard their blood relatives as nothing."
"Father!"
The three brothers were horrified when they heard this! They all prostrated themselves on the ground, "If I have done anything wrong, please punish me! But please don't let your anger ruin your health!"
brute?
This is equivalent to saying that they are unfilial!
If this gets out, how will they be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future!
"Heh." Shen Xiuyang pointed his finger at Shen Qingyue. "You are already 23 years old, married for five years, and your second son is born, yet you can say such beastly words. If there is no affection, then we are not blood relatives? Then your second son and I have no affection either, so should I throw this baby out of the house? Do you think I didn't hear what you meant?! You actually want to kill your own sister, you are a beast worse than pigs and dogs!"
"And you!" Shen Xiuyang pointed his finger at the second oldest, Shen Qingjun. "You are seventeen years old. On the surface, you look like a human being, but in fact, you act like a pig or a dog! Who do you think you are? If you were not born in my Shen family, would you be able to study and make progress? Would you be able to serve as an official in the court? Just because you passed the Imperial College, you think you are a genius? The real geniuses are all in Wenshan Academy! Since you value rules and etiquette so much, let me ask you, where did you learn the rules and etiquette to look down on your own sister?!"
"As for you, little bastard." Shen Xiuyang glanced at the third brother and felt that he didn't deserve to be scolded. "Get out! My own daughter is not yours to humiliate! Remember this, if you dare to disrespect Yun'er, I will be the first to punish you three bastards! There is no need to go to Yun'er and pretend to be a good brother. I have already seen through your moral character."
After Shen Xiuyang scolded and drove all his sons away, he felt extremely exhausted.
He decided to leave everything he had to Yun'er. None of these three beasts were worthy of taking his things.
If the family is divided in the future, the land and property will be fine, but they won't want any of the gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques!
Since he doesn't value his biological sister, he probably doesn't value him as his biological father either.
Why take his things? Dream on!
After closing his eyes and breathing for a long time, Shen Xiuyang still felt angry.
"Xiuzhu! Go and invite the eldest and third masters over!"
When Shen Xiusheng and Shen Xiucheng came over, Shen Xiuyang had already drunk a whole pot of wine.
Seeing this, Shen Xiusheng stepped forward, picked up the wine jug and threw it into the yard, "You are an old man in your forties, and you are still drinking to drown your sorrows. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"What a joke? Everyone in the mansion knows this joke! I'm afraid Dad has also known about my beating of Xu, and he's waiting to hold me accountable tomorrow morning."
How could Shen Xiuyang not know this?
Xu didn't say anything, but the people around her weren't dead. What grievances could she have spoken of in person?
Shen Xiucheng and Shen Xiusheng looked at each other, stepped forward and patted their second brother on the shoulder, saying with a smile, "Hey, second brother, how can such a small matter be worth your being so upset? If your son is useless, then so be it. In the future, you can pick a few grandsons that you like and raise them. Are you afraid that they might go astray? Besides, Dad is old after all, and sooner or later... time will pass if you just bear with it, okay?"
This was worse than no comfort. In any case, Shen Xiuyang felt even more wronged. "What did mother say?"
"As for mother, you know her personality well! She is very skilled at saying one thing in public and another in private. She didn't like Zhuzhu in the first place, but she just didn't bother to care about him. Don't worry, she will wait for the child..."
"Qingyun, her name is Qingyun."
Shen Xiuyang interrupted his brother and added.
Shen Xiucheng readily agreed, "Qingyun is a child raised by her mother, and she will never be wronged."
"But, but back then..." Shen Xiuyang thought about it and felt wronged again, "Can my mother forgive me?"
"Don't worry, second brother. Mother will never forgive you." Shen Xiucheng said with some gloating. Seeing that his second brother was about to cry, he quickly added, "But you are you, and your grandchildren are your grandchildren. Mother knows what's going on."
Shen Xiuyang nodded, then remembered something and said, "Tell mother to stop subsidizing those three unfilial beasts! In the future, just love Qingyun and your children and grandchildren!"
The eldest and the third looked at each other and just sighed at the same time.
Who could have thought that three good sons would be spoiled by their grandfather and biological mother?
But my second brother didn’t even have a concubine because of Xu.
It’s also a sin!
"Brother, Third Brother, you don't know. I went to see Qingyun today. She lives in such a small house. She doesn't even have a maid or a servant. She is so miserable! It makes me want to cry! Brother and Third Brother, I think I should give this child more money for self-defense!"
The eldest and the third brother looked at each other, and a bad feeling made them alert. "Speaking of which, mother may not know about your three sons. Why don't I and the third brother go and tell mother..."
But it was too late. Shen Xiuyang held out his hands to them with a righteous attitude. "Each of you should give your niece 100,000 taels of silver. Is that not too much?"
Shen Xiusheng held his forehead, trying to use family affection to wake him up, "Second brother, my eldest brother's annual salary is only three thousand taels of silver, and you've made a hundred thousand taels in one go, I've always..."
"Ask dad for it!" Shen Xiuyang said with a turn of his eyes, "Each of you ask dad for 110,000 taels, and use the remaining 10,000 taels for yourselves. I will never sell you out!"
Shen Xiucheng clapped his hands and said, "Good idea! Second brother, let's go! The three of us will go together! Just say that we don't have enough money to buy a gift for our niece."
Shen Xiusheng seemed to have opened the door to a new world. "Why not just ask him for 200,000 taels? I have plenty of money anyway! Give my niece 150,000 taels, and we can use the rest ourselves. How about that?!"
The two younger brothers looked at him with thumbs up and thought it was wonderful!
Shen Xiuyang is not afraid anymore!
With his brothers accompanying him, it would be inappropriate for his old father to keep mentioning Xu. He should be able to deal with the matter by simply apologizing for the beating she received!
He also thought it through. He really liked his wife, but she was really not good enough. At worst, he would learn from his mother's way of pretending to obey but actually disobeying. When he was with his wife, he would just listen to her nonsense, and when he was out of the house, he would just pretend that he hadn't heard a word of what she said!
They were already in their forties, so they just had to make do with their lives. After all, Qingyun and Qingzhu were already thirteen years old. After a few years of going out, Xu would be without Qingzhu's influence, so maybe she would have some maternal love for Qingyun.
