Chapter 141: You Come and Go (Pink Ticket 540 Additional Update)

  The sound of rain pavilion is filled with laughter and conversation, extremely lively.

  Wang's mother stood at the gate of the yard looking inside and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "Only then will our home have some vitality!"

  Shen Zhen nodded in agreement: "Yes! Mu Qing is back, and there's more life at home now!"

  The two stood for a while. When Shen Zhen didn't give any orders, Wang's mother was about to retreat when Shen Zhen suddenly said: "Mu Qing, she wants to come back!"

  Wang's mother was taken aback and didn't understand what it meant.

  "Mu Qing said she doesn't want to be with Liang Jiemin anymore, she wants to come back!" Shen Zhen looked at Wang Mama, his expression very serious. "I promised her, but I'm also afraid that her future will be difficult... I've never hesitated like this before..."

  After Li's death, Shen Zhen would sometimes discuss things with Wang Mama.

  "Wang's mother heard this, and tears fell immediately: 'Old master, this is all because you spoiled the young lady too much, helping her bully the young master. If things hadn't gotten so big, there would still be room for maneuver... Now it's good, forcing the young lady to take this path!'"

  "So it's my fault after all?" Shen Zhen said unhappily, "I'm now out of office at home, if I didn't use drastic measures, how would the Liang family know what's good for them? And besides, Mu Qing also agreed with me on this back then!"

  "Old master, how can you listen to a little girl's words?" Wang Mama, relying on her own experience serving in front of the Li family and watching Shen Muqing grow up from a young age, spoke bluntly, "This household matter and court affairs are actually not much different. Using thunderous methods, can that achieve anything? Look, you and Wang Gonggong have been rivals for a lifetime, but when you meet each other, it's all polite and courteous. Why is that? Isn't it because you haven't torn your faces apart? You and the young lady had a falling out, and then you even invited the young master's teacher and fellow students to the Liang family to reason with them. Where does the Liang family have any face left to speak of? Does the young master still have any face left to speak of? The young lady has returned, but I'm afraid she won't have a good day from now on, just being laughed at by others..."

  Shen Zhen thought for a moment, and his face showed an awkward expression: "I also felt that it was a bit too much at the time... so when Liang Jiemin came, I just called in the Shuntian prefect to scare him..."

  "It's already like this, can only think of the good side." Wang's mother sighed in her heart and comforted Shen Zhen, "With Brother-in-law's temper, it's inevitable that he will get into trouble sooner or later. When Sister-in-law comes back, maybe she can still avoid a disaster?"

  Shen Zhen listened and nodded seriously: "I think so too... Don't know how to be flexible, thinking about problems is also very simple, a few flattering words, immediately dizzy..."

  He was counting down when he saw Shen Muqing walking over with a tray, smiling: "Have some tangyuan... assorted tangyuan..."

  She learned to shout while carrying poles on the street.

  Shen Zhen smiled slightly and stopped talking, walking towards him.

  It's like this now, no use saying more... Just consider it as raising a foolish daughter... Raising a foolish daughter also requires careful nurturing... Moreover, this foolish daughter can talk and laugh...

  He sighed silently in his heart.

  The 17th of the first month has passed, and the year can be considered as having been celebrated. Everyone should go back to their normal activities. On the 18th of the first month, Liang Shuxin and Liang Jimin went together to pick up Shen Muqing from his hometown, accompanied by Liang Youhui.

  Shen Zhen met the Liang brothers in the flower hall, while Liang Youhui followed Wang's mother to Shen Muqing's Tingyu Xuan.

  "…Mu Qing doesn't want to go back, so let her stay at home for a few more days!" Shen Jian said calmly, looking at Liang Jimin with a slightly tense expression.

  Liang Jimin's body stiffened as she listened, and her eyelids drooped slightly.

  He thought of what Feng Wanqing had said to him after Shen Muqing left: "......The Third Young Master's scheme won't succeed, when you go to pick her up, she will definitely persuade Old Man Shen to intentionally make things difficult for you. Don't be too calculating with her......it's us who wronged her......no matter how angry or resentful she is, it's justified......you must endure......"

  Li Shu looked at his silent younger brother and hastily smiled: "To say, there have been too many things happening recently. San Diemei's heart is not comfortable, wanting to stay in her mother's home for a few days, it's also right. However, the grandmother is now bedridden, Niang and Da Sao are serving by her bedside day and night, all household matters have been handed over to me, but I don't have experience as the head of the house... really want San Diemei to come back and help manage the household, preside over the mid-autumn festival."

  "Ah!" Shen Zhen nodded his head, but didn't confirm or deny it. He turned to ask Liang Jimin who was sitting below him: "Have you discussed a good day with the Feng family?"

  Liáng Jì Mǐn was somewhat surprised, but quickly replied: "It's settled then, the 26th of the first month."

  Liáng Shū Xìn was anxious and smiled on the side: "This is also a day that has been initially set by both families, but in the end, it will be finalized only after Third Brother and Sister return to take a look."

  Liang Jimin's expression was slightly stunned, staring at Liang Shuxin's mouth corner slightly hooked.

  Liāng Shūxìn suddenly sprang up.

  At this moment, Shen Zhen and Liang Jiemin's eyes were both drawn to him.

  Li Shu-xin stepped forward and bowed to Shen Zhen: "Mr. Shen, this matter is all our fault, you are magnanimous, please forgive my third brother this time, he will never dare again." As he spoke, he pulled at Li Ji-min's sleeve, "Don't you kneel down and kowtow to apologize to your father-in-law?"

  Li Jiemin was taken aback again.

  Liáng Shū Xìn looked at Huǒ Dà with a fierce gaze and pulled him up from Tàishī's side.

  Liang Jimin stumbled and fell to his knees in front of Shen Zhen.

  He looked up at Liang Shu Xin with a mixture of emotions, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  Liáng Shūxìn glared at him, signaling him not to speak rashly. He himself looked at Shěn Zhēn with a sincere expression: "Shěn Lǎoye, later I'll have my third brother also kowtow and apologize to his sister-in-law, and guarantee that he won't do such disloyal and unjust things again!"

  Shen Zhen quietly observed Liang Jiemin's expression.

  It's really too disappointing... Mu Qing is young, but she judges people accurately! This Liang Ji Min is really too...

  Thinking of this, his last bit of hesitation immediately vanished.

  Shen Zhen's face was unpleasant, and he picked up his teacup to drink tea slowly, ignoring the Liang brothers standing in front of him.

  Liāng Shūxìn saw, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly urged Liāng Jìmǐn: "Don't you apologize to your father-in-law? Say that next time you will never dare again! Let your father-in-law forgive you this time!"

  Liáng Jìmǐn parroted back what he had been taught.

  Shen Zhen listened and was thoroughly disheartened.

  He didn't say anything, but his face turned slightly pale.

  Liáng Shū's heart was filled with joy. He took two steps forward and stood in front of Shěn Jiàn, revealing a respectful smile: "A son-in-law is half a son. If Third Brother has done anything wrong, Father is far away and cannot reach him with his whip, so it's still up to you to guide him."

  Shen Zhen's face became increasingly gentle.

  "You scold him if you need to, and hit him if you must. The entire Liang family is grateful for your guidance." Uncle Liang continued to speak kindly to Shen Zhen, "If there's anything you'd like to instruct, just tell my third brother... I'm here today too, and I guarantee it will be done."

  "Get up!" Shen Zhen listened and smiled slightly, "A man should have a concubine, it's nothing! But the method used is not right!"

  The Liang brothers felt relieved when Shen Jian spoke up.

  "Yes, yes, yes!" Liang Shu said repeatedly, "This is also something he doesn't know about, and in the future, you'll still need to teach Third Brother well."

  "It's not about teaching. He has a father above and a grandmother below, both of whom are farsighted and wise, so it's too modest for the Liang family to let me teach. Shen Zhen smiled warmly, as if he had seen Liang Jiming apologize after what happened seven days ago, "You two brothers came together, I suppose you also sincerely wanted to take Mu Qing back home. But I've already promised Mu Qing to let her stay at home for the Qingming Festival and sweep her mother's grave before going back."

  The Liang brothers were both stunned.

  Especially Liang Jimin, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

  Shen Zhen looked at him with a cold smile in his heart.

  "You also know that women are meticulous, and trivial matters like chicken skin and garlic skin will never end. Let alone the big thing of taking a concubine." Shen Zhen said with some emotion, "I'll go talk to Mu Qing again later, if she still doesn't want to go back, you all don't have to bother with her either, just do what you need to do! After a few days, when she comes around, she'll naturally think of going back."

  "Thank you, Father-in-law!" Liang Jìmǐn hastily thanked Shen Zhēn.

  Liang Shu looked at Shen Zhen's calm and composed face, but he had a faintly bad feeling in his heart.

  Before he could think twice, he saw Mrs. Wang accompanying a cheerful Liang Youhui walking over.

  Liang Shu Xin knew that his sister was a straightforward person, and seeing her expression, he couldn't help but have a few hints of joy in his eyes, thinking of the words his grandmother had said before he came.

  "...I originally wanted the son-in-law to go pick him up himself, but he said he had something on and could only have you accompany your younger brother. When you go, bring your second sister along - isn't she always asking for San Jie? Let her go too. Kids all like kids... If Yu Hui cries and throws a tantrum, she'll soften."

  As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Liang Youhui had already knelt down and paid respects to Shen Zhen.

  Shen Zhen gazed at her with a benevolent gaze: "What? You've met your third aunt so soon?"

  Liáng Yòu Huì nodded and smiled: "Shen Lǎo Ye, then we'll head back first — let's come back after Qingming Festival to pick up Sān Shu!"

  Liang Shu believed it in his heart and was suspicious, but Shen Zhen had already poured tea to send off the guest.

  The three siblings left the flower hall, and Liang Shu's uncle hastily asked Liang Youhui: "What did your third aunt say?"

  Liang Youhui coldly snorted at Liang Jimin and said, "Third Auntie says that if Feng Wanqing and Third Brother don't kneel down together to apologize to her, she won't return to the Liang's house!"

  Is Feng Wanqing and San Di?

  Liang Shu's letter made him sink into deep thought.

  The Feng family initially agreed to marry Feng Wanqing over also in order to avoid a family scandal. However, the harm this matter brought to the Feng family was self-evident. As soon as Feng Wanqing returned to the Feng residence, she was locked up, and two personal maidservants said that she had been sold, but no one could say clearly where she had been sold to. Moreover, the dowry originally prepared for Feng Wanqing had also been taken back into storage... At this time, it was simply impossible to bring out Feng Wanqing to kowtow and apologize with Liang Jimin to Third Brother and Sister... unless Feng Wanqing became one of their own family members...

  Thinking of this, Liang Shu's heart was anxious and his brow furrowed.

  "Second brother, don't worry about this matter!" Liang Jiemin comforted him, seeing that his brother was in a difficult situation. "Wanqing told me before that the Shen family won't give up like this. We've all been mentally prepared for a long time. When the time comes, no matter how Shen Muqing makes things difficult for us, we'll all endure..."

  Liang Shu heard this and stopped in his tracks.

  What is this? I haven't even entered the door yet, and you want to get rid of your wife?

  He looked at Liang Jiemin's unsuspecting face and shook his head with a bitter smile.
