The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub

Chapter 206 Confidence

No wonder!

Yunli said this in a sarcastic tone just to make Shen Xiuyang feel guilty.

Look, how unreasonable his wife is, and how magnanimous his daughter is!

Hehe, go ahead and make some noise, only after you make some noise can she see more excitement.

Shen Xiuyang did feel a little guilty, but he also knew his daughter's little thoughts. Otherwise, why would he say that his daughter looked like him?

"She is confused. You don't need to say anything to her in the future. Remember, Daddy will always stand by you! As for your brothers..."

Shen Xiuyang was a little hesitant. His three sons were educated by his wife to be very fond of Qingzhu. He had not yet told his sons about this matter, and he did not know how his sons would treat their sister.

"They don't know you exist. If they treat you badly, you can tell Daddy. Daddy can't do anything else, but he can always beat his son if he does something wrong. Anyway, don't let them bully you, understand?"

Yunli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded in response, "Don't worry, father. I won't let myself suffer any loss."

Shen Xiuyang was reluctant to leave, but there were still a lot of things that had not been resolved. Seeing that it was getting dark, he hardened his heart and rode back to the Shen Mansion.

Before he even entered the door, he was met by several sons. "Dad, you are finally back! How did you make mom cry? Mom doesn't even want to eat now, please go and persuade her!"

The person who spoke was his youngest son, Shen Qingheng, a well-known dandy in the capital. He was not good at either literature or martial arts, and at the age of fifteen this year, he still just played around every day.

When Shen Xiuyang heard this, he looked at his other two sons. Although they bowed to him politely, their faces were full of disapproval of him. What was there that they didn't understand?

These three sons were also useless.

He laughed bitterly. As expected, marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations!

"Did your mother tell you about your sister?"

He just asked.

The eldest son, Shen Qingyue, frowned and said unhappily, "Father, if you have anything to say, go back and close the door first. There are still so many servants here."

What he meant was, don't let others laugh at you.

"I, your father, have been laughed at quite a bit today, so I'm not afraid at all!"

Having said that, he still softened his heart and took his sons to the study.

Shen Qingheng was about to speak when the second brother Shen Qingjun grabbed his sleeve and shook his head at him.

My father’s face is so gloomy, it’s better not to anger him for now.

After entering the study, Shen Xiuyang sat down in the main seat angrily. He waited for his three sons to come in and close the door before he shouted, "Whatever you three want to say, say it now. Your father is listening."

The youngest son, who was the most impatient, said, "Since Dad said so, I will just say it straight! She is just a sister. If Mom doesn't like her, just keep her away! Why bring her back and hurt Zhuzhu's heart?"

"You mean, bloodline is not important?"

Shen Xiuyang looked at his youngest son steadily and asked.

"Bloodline is of course important, but Zhuzhu has been raised in our house for such a long time, such a deep relationship is naturally more important than a useless sister, Dad!"

Shen Qingheng really felt that his father was getting senile and confused!

Wouldn't it make Zhuzhu sad if I brought a younger sister back for no reason?

"You are right. Feelings are more important than sons and daughters. Xiuzhu has been serving me since he was six years old. He is seventeen this year. My feelings for him are much deeper than yours. So I declare, Shen Qingheng, from today on, you, a piece of trash, are no longer my son! Let Xiuzhu be my adopted son."

Shen Xiuyang said these words very calmly.

Don’t you think bloodline is unimportant?

Then why does he think that his bloodline, which has accomplished nothing, is important to him?

"Third brother, what you said is really unpleasant to hear. Father is angry and cannot bear to hear such words that belittle his sister! But father, please don't say such angry words! If the news gets out, how will third brother deal with it?"

The eldest and second brothers Shen quickly knelt down, and forced the third brother to kneel on the ground as well, and together they apologized to their father.

"Shen Qingjun, please continue talking. I'm listening."

Shen Xiuyang didn't say forgiveness or not, he just signaled his second son to continue speaking.

He wanted to see if these three beasts had any affection for his sister.

"Grandfather has already spoken, so of course I have to bring my sister back. But I heard that my sister is extremely fierce, and she grew up in the mountains since she was young, so I'm afraid she knows nothing about rules and etiquette. Father, for the sake of my sister and the family, I think it would be better to let my sister live in the suburbs first, and bring her home after she learns the rules and etiquette, what do you think? During this time, I will persuade mother and give her some time to accept my sister."

Shen Xiuyang laughed at himself.

Shen Qingjun is worthy of being the only one among the three brothers who was admitted to the Imperial College, and he always speaks in a cautious manner.

He first used his grandfather's approval to cover up his true thoughts, then cut into his younger sister's shortcomings and analyzed them one by one, pretending to be doing good for his sister sincerely, and finally brought up his mother's attitude, hoping to soften his heart towards his mother.

It's a pity that he used this scheming mind to deal with his own father and sister.

Shen Xiuyang softened his attitude and looked at his eldest son again. He wanted to see his eldest son's attitude. "What about you, Boss? What do you think?"

"Father, you beat mother today. You were wrong. But mother was kind-hearted and covered up for you in front of grandpa and grandmother. You still have to accept mother's kindness in this matter."

Shen Qingyue said slowly, "Let's talk about my sister. My sister made such a fuss in Daxiangguo Temple today. It's obvious that her heart is not in our Shen Mansion. Bringing her back may bring another disaster. But my grandfather has already spoken, and as a junior, I can't refute him. I can only send a few more maids to watch my sister to prevent her from doing anything that is detrimental to our Shen Mansion.

My second brother is right. We are a family of scholars, and rules and etiquette represent the reputation of our Shen family. Before my sister learns etiquette, it is better not to appear in front of others.

As for food, clothing and other expenses, Zhuzhu is the face of our Shen family when she is out. My sister stays at home, and all her expenses are paid by the family. How can their expenses be the same? Naturally, Zhuzhu's expenses should be higher. And now that the rumors about the twins are all over the city, Zhuzhu should be given more expenses, so that she can have more confidence and block the eyes of those outsiders who are prying."

Shen Xiuyang waited for a while, but when his eldest son didn't continue talking, he asked, "Are you done?"
