Chapter 385 Save him? Beat him up!
"No way! Grandfather, he just said he was going to beat me to death, and she was also choking mother's neck. Fortunately, I showed up in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Yao Qingnian simply ignored his threatening warning.
"Girl, is what you said true?" Old Duke Chen asked, suppressing his anger.
"Of course it's true, but Grandfather, you can't be angry. I just nursed you back to health, you can't let it get damaged."
"Okay, don't worry! I'm not angry."
"Father."
"You, you didn't even write me a letter when such a big thing happened, and made your mother and I worry so much. Now the whole capital is spreading the news that Shen Wenting has a mistress, I couldn't sit still, so I came here." Old Duke Chen sighed. He handed his beloved daughter to him, but he didn't expect that she would suffer so much in the Shen Mansion.
Shen Wenting, this beast! Zheng Cheng clenched his fists. If it weren't for so many people, he would have rushed up to him and punched him twice. This coward only dared to bully women and children at home.
"Grandfather, not only did he have a mistress, he also had an illegitimate child as old as me, and today they said they wanted him to come back to recognize his ancestors!"
"What! Shen Wenting, this is the good thing you did! Shuhua, don't be afraid, tell Dad what you think now? No matter what decision you make, Dad will support you behind you!"
"Dad, I want to divorce my husband!"
"Okay, then you can have a break and come back with me to the Duke's Mansion." Old Duke Chen said domineeringly.
"Father-in-law, no, I don't agree." Shen Wenting jumped out to object.
"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, as long as my daughter agrees. Go get some paper and pen." She had long disliked Shen Wenting. If Shuhua hadn't insisted on marrying him, she would never have agreed. Now it's not too late to divorce her husband. Soon someone brought some paper and pen.
"Father-in-law, think twice! Their children are ignorant, and we, as the elders, should persuade them well. Why do you still support them?" The old lady was also anxious. If this matter got out, they would be criticized in the back.
"Okay, it's written, sign it!" Old Duke Chen quickly wrote the divorce letter and threw it to him, asking him to sign it.
"No, I won't sign! Father-in-law, please give me another chance, I will definitely treat Shuhua well. Even if you don't consider my face, you should consider the two children!" Shen Wenting pleaded in a low voice.
"You don't want to sign? Then we will go before the emperor and talk it out. Report everything you have done to him and let him judge. By then, your fate may not be as simple as it is now. Before things get out of hand, I advise you to sign it obediently! Otherwise, let alone your position as a minister, I will make sure you can't even be an official!" Old Duke Chen threatened directly.
The old Duke is decisive and efficient. To deal with people like Shen Wenting, you have to use force.
"Don't regret it!" Shen Wenting glared at her angrily, then reluctantly signed his name on the divorce letter.
"Well, that's more like it! Shuhua, Nianran, pack your things and come back with me."
"Wait, even though she has divorced me, Shen Nianran is still my daughter, she can't go with you!" Since she insisted on divorcing him, he would not let her children have an easy life. Let's see if she can be so heartless as to not care about the life and death of her children!
"Grandfather, what father said is right. No matter what, I am still a child of the Shen family. You can take my mother back. Don't worry, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. My brother and I will be fine!" Yao Qingnian gave them a reassuring look.
"Have you thought it through?" If Nianran and the others wanted to go together, he would definitely take them away even at the risk of his old face and his life.
"I've thought about it, grandpa. You don't have to worry about us." Yao Qingnian said affirmatively.
"Well, if he dares to bully you, just tell me! The door of the Duke's Mansion is always open to you." This is true, the daughter can take her away by herself, but the granddaughters are the blood of the Shen family. Unless they agree themselves, taking them away easily will definitely leave them vulnerable.
Yuzhu and the others went back to pack some simple clothes and daily necessities. There were too many things left, so Chen Laoguogong asked them to go back first and send someone to pick up the remaining things tomorrow. He left in a hurry with Chen Shuhua.
After everyone left, Shen Wenting sat in the main seat in the main hall without saying a word. It was Shen Youran who stepped forward to comfort him: "Father, don't be sad. Even if mom leaves you, you still have your daughter!"
"What sin did our Shen family commit to deserve such a thing? Wen Ting, why don't you go and beg Shuhua tomorrow to let her come back? It's such a shame to have no mistress in the mansion." The old lady was very angry when she saw her son being divorced, but she was more worried.
"Mom, I won't go! It's not like the mansion will stop functioning without her. At worst I can just marry another one later." Shen Wenting was annoyed. His mind was now on the two account books. Today's incident happened suddenly, and he was interrupted before he had the chance to ask. It seemed that Chen Shuhua had already met Zhou Hao, so the treasure map must have been taken out. No, he had to send more people to look for it. With the treasure map, he could find the treasure and there was no need to look at their faces.
On their way back, the old Duke listened to what Chen Shuhua said and felt that divorcing her husband was too easy for him.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Haoheng Casino, noisy sounds were heard outside again.
"I think you didn't get enough of the beating you received last time, so you come here to get beaten again this time. Do you think you can be so lucky every time and meet a noble person to save you? Let me see what you are going to do this time."
Last time, Shen Haobo was thrown out of the gambling house and met Chen Shuhua. In order to get information, Chen Shuhua paid off his gambling debts and sent him back. However, he felt more and more upset after he went back, so he begged Runiang to give him some money. He went to the gambling house again. The gambling house didn't let him in at first, but they didn't say anything because he had money. In less than half a day, he lost all his money again. He didn't believe in evil, so he went to borrow money again and again, but the result was the same. Now he owed a lot of debts, and like last time, he was thrown out by the people in the gambling house.
Chen Shuhua saw that it was Shen Haobo again in the carriage, so she asked the driver to stop, got off the carriage, and walked over slowly.
"Madam, why is it you again? Well, it looks like this brat is going to be lucky again today." The leader of the thugs stopped what he was doing.
Seeing that it was the woman from last time, Shen Haobo felt that he was saved. He crawled to her side in a mess, looking very miserable: "Madam, can you lend me another hundred taels of silver? I swear, I will definitely return the silver to you, and return you five hundred taels of silver, including the principal and interest, together with the last time!"
"Are you planning to help him again this time? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. For a person like him, even if he is a bottomless pit, no amount of money will help."
"You misunderstood. I didn't come here to give him money. A man like that deserves it. You guys, don't be soft-hearted, beat him up hard. Here, this silver is for you. When you get tired of beating him, take it and have a drink. Just consider it as my treat." Chen Shuhua took out a few taels of silver and gave it to those people, then turned and left.
"Okay, Madam, take care!" Several people looked at the silver in their hands and were stunned for a long time. Rich people really change their minds at any time. Last time, they paid off the gamblers, and this time they invited them to drink. Tsk tsk, I don't understand...
