Chapter 3
: Being manipulated so much that I don’t know the heights of the world
Early the next morning.
At two o'clock in the morning, the sound of "bang bang" was heard outside the street. It was not bright yet, but inside and outside Shen's residence, lights were everywhere, as bright as day.
Shen Wei was buried today. The adoption ceremony should not be too grand, but the proper ceremonies are indispensable.
An ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Shen family, including Shen Hua's biological mother, Shen Chun, and her brother, Shen Pheasant, who died young.
Following the custom of Fengzhou, as witnessed by Chief Shen, Shen Qu kowtowed to his ancestors, offered incense to Shen Chun and Chen Pheasant, and after doing these things, he served tea to Shen Xue and made several arrangements.
Shen Hewen stood aside, hiding the ecstasy in his eyes, making a sad and dejected look, and warned Shen Qu again and again.
"Since you are the heir of a big house, you must be filial to your mother-in-law. The ups and downs of important responsibilities rest with you, so you must not slack off and disappoint the elders of the clan. You must also let your father rest in peace."
Shen Qu saluted and said respectfully: "Yes, second uncle."
Hearing this title, Shen Hua sneered at the corner of her mouth.
But at this moment, the clan elder led Shen Qu and walked in front of her. His tone of voice was as kind as ever.
"Yangyang, Ah Qu was originally your brother. Now that he has adopted your mother's name, are you happy?"
Shen Hua said coldly: "I'm so disgusted."
Elder Shen:?
Shen Hua was neither salty nor cool: "My body is like this, but I have to see him every day, and I don't think I can live long. They say that the clan elders love me, but this time, I didn't notice it at all."
Elder Shen didn't expect Shen Hua to be so resistant.
Also, Shen Hua was in bad health and had been taking medicine all year round, so she was manipulated by Shen Wei.
The daughter's voice was calm and calm, making everyone present look ugly.
"It's rare for the sons of my second uncle's family to see each other during the holidays. I think all of them are so talented in literature that they want to be the number one scholar in the literary and opera stars. I really don't know how such a person can be so humble now and rush to be my brother."
"That's right, the big house doesn't have much, it just has a lot of money. The second house doesn't have anything, it just has a lot of money."
"Don't look at how brilliant some people were in the past, they are already rotten on the inside."
The clan elder's face darkened and he scolded: "Shut up! What are you talking about!"
Shen Hua paused and looked at him as if she didn't understand.
"I didn't say it was you. Clan elder, why are you so anxious?"
Right now, she is at the mercy of others, without a strong backer, and can't do anything to these monsters alone. But she doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, and after all, she has no good ending, so she might as well seek a happy life.
Anyway, she is indeed arrogant.
She still has the ability to disgust people.
The Shen clan is so old-fashioned and half-dead:???
Mrs. Shen Xue raised her hand and straightened the white silk flower in the hairdresser's room.
"Elder of the clan, you don't know that Yangyang's temper is getting worse and worse. Yesterday, she even contradicted me, my mother-in-law. I can't control her anymore."
Shen Hewen stood aside but smiled silently. There was a coldness in his eyes.
However, Shen Qu quickly came out to be the peacemaker. His voice was gentle and moderate.
"My father just left, so Yangyang naturally felt uncomfortable, and now she became more agitated. In the future, I will take on the responsibility of teaching you, so please forgive me, my dearest lady."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Hua gently.
"This is a meeting gift as a direct brother. It happened too quickly. If you don't like it, I'll prepare a better one for Yangyang next time."
Shen Hua stood in a deserted place, looking at the group of sanctimonious beasts in front of her with an expressionless face. She really wanted to tear off Shen Qu's mask and see what was inside.
Everyone was staring at Shen Hua, fearing that she would do something drastic.
Shen Hua knew what was in the box.
It is an Oriental pearl the size of a fist.
The production of beads of this size is extremely low, and I heard that no more than ten beads of good quality are produced every year.
Shen Qu can be considered as spending enough money.
There was a dark light in her eyes, and she smiled with unknown meaning, then took it without saying a word.
It was really abnormal, but everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The subsequent family recognition went very smoothly.
The sky is gradually getting brighter.
Relatives and friends who came to pay their respects came one after another.
Shen Qu was in a lot of limelight. He was busy with funeral arrangements and entertaining guests. Everyone must be said to be filial.
On the other hand, looking at Shen Hua who was gasping for breath after walking a few steps, no one would shake their head after seeing this.
The mourning music is played in unison, and the sadness can be heard.
Mrs. Shen Xue cried so hard in front of everyone that her liver trembled. She threw herself on the coffin, pretending to be false, just to win a good reputation: "Master, how can I live if you leave?"
Shen Hua's eyes were red. She resisted the urge to cry, but she really couldn't stand Shen Xue's hypocrisy. Her voice was choked with sobs, and her ass was cold and hard.
"My stepmother made an affectionate promise. If you really can't bear to leave, you can go with your father. My daughter will definitely ask the government to build a chastity memorial arch for you."
Mr. Shen Xue choked and almost couldn't breathe.
But it was at this juncture that someone from the He family came.
He Chu was dressed in plain clothes, and his face could only be considered delicate. He had recently been selected as a scholar, and although he was not at the top of the list, he was considered a young man at his age. Mrs. He next to him had a serious smile, and her brows were clear. A bit mean.
After all, she is the mother of a scholar. She is flattered wherever she goes, and she prides herself on being noble. She has long been dissatisfied with this marriage, let alone now.
Seeing Shen Hua's sharp teeth again made me feel even more unhappy.
"Aunt He."
Shen Qu quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully as a junior, not forgetting to greet Shen Hua.
"Yangyang, come here and salute."
It can be seen that he is very adaptable to this new identity.
Shen Huahehe.
Shen Qu, who was ignored, didn't feel any embarrassment at all. He just apologized and said, "My little sister has lost her rules. I hope Aunt He won't be offended."
Mrs. He looked around and knew that even if she offended the eldest brother, she could still make good friends with the second brother: "Since the Shen family is here, it's a good idea to be a witness. I came here specially to cancel the engagement."
One word stirred up a thousand waves.
Before everyone had time to digest these words, they saw Mrs. He approaching Shen Hua in a few steps. It was quite condescending.
"Miss Shen, don't blame the He family for being ruthless. Forgive me for speaking bluntly as an elder. My son's future is limitless. Everyone of the same age as him is also married. I can't wait until you have passed your three years of filial piety. Expect."
She looked at Shen Hua.
"A sick young man like you cannot have children, so the He family cannot be brought down by you."
Her brother-in-law is very popular right now, and there are many people who want to join her He family, and no one is better than Shen Hua.
But Shen Hua has a tricky temperament and would not let go of such a good marriage.
Mrs. He was afraid that if she didn't agree, the matter would cause a fuss and the He family would lose face.
But the next moment!
Shen Hua cried!
The woman burst into tears.
She was already weak, and now it seemed as if she couldn't bear the blow. Her body was crumbling.
How could someone like Shen Hua cry?
Mrs. He felt an inexplicable chill down her spine and felt a sense of conspiracy.
Then, she heard Shen Hua pretending to be aggrieved.
"I saved it."
"Who in Fengzhou City doesn't know that you, madam, are notoriously snobbish."
Mrs. He:???Huh?
Chapter completed!
