Although it has been six days since I got slapped with a stick, the child's skin is already fair and tender, and the stick could knock people unconscious to death, and it showed no mercy. Therefore, although Shen Rui's buttocks no longer hurt much , but the traces are still so clear and dazzling.
Speaking of this, Shen Rui was really lucky. Fortunately, the slap was on his butt. If he had been hit on the waist with such force, even if he "woke up", he would probably be able to collapse on the bed.
Shen Rui lowered his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and everyone was a little confused.
It wasn't that everyone was cold-blooded, but they were frightened by Shen Rui's injury. There was a bruise as big as half a palm on his arm, and one could guess whether it was accidentally bumped, but the numerous scars from between the thighs to the crooks of the legs made everyone We can no longer deceive ourselves and others, it is true that Shen Juren "abused his son", and there will be a big scandal in the Shen family.
Only Shen Juren attacked with anger, staring directly at Shen Rui's face, unable to look anywhere else.
Seeing Shen Rui crying again, he thought it was just showing off, and snorted coldly: "What kind of unfilial thing did you do? You know you're ashamed, you're covering it up, and you're not telling the truth!"
Shen Rui lowered his head and said: "The child is unfilial. He shouldn't have offended the second mother just after she died, which made the master angry. This child deserves to be beaten and fainted for three days. Since he woke up, he has been eating two bowls of gruel every day. I was really hungry and panicked. I remembered that my mother had taught me that children should be filial and be obedient in mourning. Although the child didn't understand what it meant, he thought that since his mother had taught him, it must be right... But just now the housekeeper came to pick up the child. Before going to the funeral, the child remembered that apart from eating, he should not wear silk and brocade, but should wear linen and mourn." After saying that, he lowered his head and said: "Mother teaches the child to know etiquette. If mother sees the child, he will not know etiquette. , I'm afraid I will be sad for the child. The child has been in a daze these past few days. He didn't even know that he had changed out of his clothes and was still wearing silk clothes. He is really an unfilial son and has no face to see his mother..." At this point, Xiaoxiao was already crying. His body was shaking and shaking, which was really unbearable to look at.
Everyone looked at Shen Juren no longer with implicit condemnation, but with clear anger.
What mistake could such a well-behaved child make? When his biological mother just died, Shen Juren could do such a cruel thing for the sake of a concubine. He fainted for three days and did not even ask the doctor to delay medicine. He also took two bowls a day. Porridge, no wonder it makes the child look so haggard, walking tremblingly, his face whitening, and his eyes squinting. Even a strong child cannot help being tortured like this, let alone hurt when his mother is missing. When you are weak.
Why did the Fourth Fang so brutally kill his direct descendants? Is he really doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, and cannot tolerate his legitimate son?
Judging from what this child meant, it was not just a board and cold room rice porridge, it had been seven days since Sun had been there, and Shen Rui hadn't even been put into mourning clothes.
Is this the treatment of a legitimate son? Is this the rumor that he is regarded as an eyeball by the fourth-fang Lao An? Is this the "love for his son" of Shen Juren?
Shen Juren was a man and could not care about the inner house, but there was also the four-bedroom Lao An and the "secure and ready" Zheng Erniang. No matter what the reason for them was, they lacked "compassion".
Even if everyone is dissatisfied with Shen Juren, no one would think that he deliberately killed his legitimate son. Most of them thought that he was soft-hearted and was afraid that he would be fooled by his concubine, so he changed his mind and took care of the housework in the fourth room. It was a mess.
If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. If the Zheng family is still in the process of being rehabilitated, half of their direct brother's life has been lost; if they are really rehabilitated, how can the Sun family's blood be preserved?
Even though they knew that Shen Jin was highly talented and had a promising future, everyone's expectations and fears for him were a little weaker. How could such a vicious biological mother raise a good son? Who knows how Sun's mother and son were treated badly during her lifetime? The mother and son of the Zheng family did not dare to express kindness, and they were so rampant. They were really ignorant wolves. Their character was flawed, and even if they were talented, they would have limited career prospects.
The old man from the fifth house, who had been silent all this time, said: "Chaoyuan is a man. After all, it is possible to be careless and not take care of him for a while. You, Lao An, are getting older and others are not as good as others, so I asked Mr. Guo to come and take care of Brother Rui." day."
Chaoyuan is the name of Shen Yuan, a native of Shen Ju, and Guo is the wife of Shen Hong, the eldest man of the fifth house. Among the clan members, many have received favors from the Sun family, and those whose future is related to life and death include Shen Li's mother and son, and Guo, the eldest daughter-in-law of the fifth house. Also one of them.
The Guo family and the Sun family live next to each other, and they are similar in age, so they are very close to each other. Half a year ago, the Guo family gave birth at an advanced age and did not give birth to a child for a whole day and night. Both mother and daughter were in danger. At that time, the Sun family was already ill in bed, but After getting the news, he sent someone to send half of a century-old ginseng, which saved the lives of Guo and his wife.
When Mrs. Sun passed away, the saddest thing was that it was Shen Li who had no way to repay his great kindness, and the most guilty person was Mr. Guo.
A century-old ginseng is something you can only come across. Even Wufang is one of the richest families in the clan. There is no shortage of ginseng, and there is no treasure like this. Sifang’s previous family wealth was not even as good as that of Wufang. Naturally, There is no such thing. Sun's kindness was not to show generosity, but to use her as a dowry. It was originally a whole plant. When Sun was old, she used half of the plant to give birth, and half of it was used to save Guo. In Guo's case, It seems that Mrs. Sun passed away due to a serious illness. No one can say what would have happened if the half of the life-saving old ginseng plant was still there.
Sun's kindness to her was not an ordinary life-saving favor, and it was reasonable to exchange her life for her life.
This time Sun's family was mourned, and Guo became seriously ill, and struggled to get up in the past two days. Others in the fifth house did not stand up for Sun like Shen Li, which was not surprising to everyone, because the old man who headed the fifth house had always behaved well. Be cautious. Sun's funeral has not yet been completed, and the arrangements for Shen Rui from the fourth room of the Shen family are still unclear. It is meaningless for the fifth room to say anything in advance.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the old man from the fifth room took the initiative to speak, and the meaning behind his words was that he was worried about everyone in the fourth room, so he pushed his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Guo, to take care of Shen Rui. After thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Guo was really the most appropriate person. Candidate. Shen Li's wife is a daughter of an official family in the capital, so she is not capable of taking care of him. Other relatives, even if they have received small favors from the Sun family, are in trouble, but it is unclear whether they can take good care of Shen Rui.
Before Shen Juren could speak, the clan elder had already nodded and said, "The fifth master's instructions are very appropriate."
The elders and eldest son of the clan had already spoken. Although Shen Juren was very reluctant, he could only agree. Shen Li, who was squatting next to Shen Rui, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was settled. Shen Rui, who was supported by him, heard Here, I finally let go of my worries, my body suddenly softened, I was shocked, and shouted: "Brother Rui..."
The little child had passed out in Shen Li's arms, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know what was going on.
Several clan elders who were three to four hundred years old in total and who were used to seeing life and death were frightened by Shen Rui's fainting.
Oh my god, "loving concubines and destroying direct descendants" is just a result of Shen Juren's personal moral flaws. If a tragedy like "father tortured his son to death" really happened, the Shen family would not be able to clear their name for a hundred years.
The patriarch of the clan hurriedly said: "Quickly go and ask for the doctor!"
Several old ladies nearby also echoed: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
Shen Juren was dumbfounded, and after being urged a few times, he waved to the housekeeper.
Shen Li had already picked up Shen Rui, entered the back room, and put him on the bed.
Looking at the simple curtain and the charcoal pot in the corner without any warmth, Shen Li immediately burst into tears, knelt down in the direction of the funeral shed, and cried out: "Aunt, my nephew is so ashamed. He has neglected this far. I came here a few days earlier and actually made my brother suffer like this!"
All the clansmen were speechless looking at this cold and simple room. What they heard was false, and what they saw was true.
The Fifth Old Master spoke again: "Shen Yuan, who arranged this place for Brother Rui to 'cultivate'?"
Shen Juren blushed, held it in for a long time, and then whispered: "It's Mr. Zheng."
All the clan members looked as if they were like this, but no one mentioned the Zheng family again. It was not in line with the rules to support a concubine, because the Zheng family was from a scholar family and had brothers who were officials and sons of scholars. Although the clan members heard that There was no time to hear the news. Now that it is confirmed that the Zheng family abused his first wife and his legitimate son, it has become a fantasy to want to correct it. Even if Shen Juren does not have a long memory to mention it again, the tribe will not let go and let such a vicious woman People have polluted the family tradition.
Shen Jin, who was standing behind everyone, looked at Shen Juren's back, his face full of shock and confusion.
The housekeeper came back faster than everyone expected, followed by three or four people, all doctors from several well-known medicine halls in the city. Although everyone looked at him with confusion, they also knew that it was important to see a doctor first.
They were jealous of each other, so they invited themselves and others to others. It seemed like they didn't trust their own medical skills, and the doctors had long been annoyed. Now, the doctors were calmly diagnosing Shen Rui's pulse one after another. But after checking the pulse, all the doctors looked a little ugly.
Shen Li said in a trembling voice: "What's wrong with my little brother?"
Several doctors kept silent, and being chased by everyone, they pushed out a slightly younger man, who had "deficiency of qi and blood", "although the external injury has healed, it has attracted wind evil", "stomach is empty and body is tired, and needs to be replenished slowly" Said a lot.
The Shen family is reading the heirloom, and none of the people here are white people, so they can't understand the meaning. To put it bluntly, it is because of the cold and starvation after being injured. The dignified son of the fourth room of the Shen family has been abused since then. No wonder several doctors have not Dare to speak. Shen Li's eyes immediately turned red and he looked at Shen Juren hatefully.
The elder of the clan asked: "Do I need an injection? When will Brother Rui wake up?"
The doctor shook his head and said: "There is no need to give an injection. I was just very hungry after a serious injury. My body was weak and my energy was weak, which hurt my vitality. In addition, I had a heavy mind and didn't rest well these past few days, so I fell into a coma. It made me sleepy. Make porridge with ginseng, simmer it on the stove, and wait for the little brother to wake up. Just don’t use too much when you are hungry for a long time. Just one bowl will be enough, as it will hurt your stomach. Also, the little brother is young, so these days After being frozen, cold air has accumulated in the body, so I need to use a prescription to dispel the cold and warm up the body, otherwise I am afraid that it will hinder the kidney water. This house has been vacant for a long time, and the yin and dampness are oppressive. It is really unlivable. If it is cheaper, it is better to move it. It’s best to go out and recuperate.”
After all, this doctor was young. When he talked about his illness, he forgot about his previous concerns and only cared about the well-being of the patient. He spoke the truth. It was not until he finished speaking that he remembered that it was related to the Shen clan's secrets. I was afraid that his blunt words were When I offend someone, my face becomes a little gloomy.
Seeing the doctor bluntly saying that Shen Juren might hate him to death, Shen Li could only feel grateful and stepped forward and said: "The bed is the flesh and blood of my benefactor. If the doctor can heal Brother Rui's body, he will be my benefactor Shen Li. Please accept Shen Li's advice." bye."
Although he has never met Shen Li, the Shen family has a prime minister's son-in-law who is the number one scholar in the world. No one in Songjiang Prefecture knows his name. Doctor Wu was very flattered and hurriedly turned aside and said: "I have been summoned by the number one scholar." , work hard with all your heart, and live up to your trust.”
Seeing this, several doctors nearby also came forward to pay homage to Shen Li, saying something like, "I came as I was told, and I am lucky enough to meet the number one scholar. I am lucky in my lifetime."
Only then did all the clan members know that these doctors had been invited by Shen Li and were waiting outside Shen's house, so they arrived so quickly.
