In the second branch of the Shen family, Shen Xiude was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

Looking at such a spacious courtyard where only his family now lived, Shen Xiude couldn't help but feel proud.

"Brother, brother, even if you were highly respected in the past, so what? All this is just to make things easier for me!"

Shen Xiude is the second son of the Shen family. In fact, when he was young, he never thought about competing with his eldest brother for anything.

Because his eldest brother had always been trained as the heir, while he only needed to live a life of idleness and wait for death, and be a stable second-generation rich kid.

But who would have thought that one day, the eldest brother who was deeply trusted by his father would disappear after leaving a letter?

My father was furious at the time, but after searching for my eldest brother in many places and still finding no news, he had to give up.

After all, there was war everywhere in China at that time, and my brother had gone to the front line, so it was very likely that he would be in great danger.

In desperation, the father could only turn to training himself.

At that time, Shen Xiude felt like a piece of pie had fallen from the sky and hit him on his head, and his heart was filled with joy at becoming the heir of the Shen family.

He just thought that his elder brother Shen Xiuyi was very stupid. What about the interests of the country and family? He gave up being the heir of the Shen family and chose to go out and be a soldier.

In this way, Shen Xiude followed his father and learned the skills of managing the family.

But his father often sighed behind his back, and Shen Xiude knew that his father felt that he was no match for his eldest brother.

Just when he finally waited for his father to pass away and thought he could finally inherit the Shen family, the will left by his father dealt him a heavy blow.

"If the eldest son Xiuyi returns, the Shen family will still be in charge of him."

Shen Xiude could no longer remember the other contents of the will, but this last sentence was always deeply engraved in his mind.

Eldest son! Eldest son! The eldest son you always thought about didn't come back when you died. Isn't it enough that I have been busy with you all these years?

Shen Xiude was filled with humiliation.

The looks from other members of the Shen family were like thorns to him, and he felt like they were all laughing at him.

About a year later, Shen Xiude had basically completely taken control of the Shen family, and everyone had tacitly accepted that Shen Xiuyi was dead.

But at this moment, Shen Xiuyi came back!

Not only did he come back, he was also a great contributor to the founding of the new country and became a high-ranking officer in the army. The entire Shen family depended on him for survival.

Because land reform was being carried out throughout the country at that time, the Shen family was also a famous landlord.

At that time, the Shen family was already in danger.

There was no other way, Shen Xiude could only take the initiative to hand over the power of the head of the family to Shen Xiuyi.

That villain Shen Xiuyi even pretended to say that he didn't care who would inherit the Shen family.

But he must fulfill his father's wish.

Bah! In the final analysis, it’s because he can’t let go of the Shen family’s fat piece of meat.

I thought that the second wife's family would always be inferior to the first wife's family, but things change and a vigorous cultural movement begins.

Shen Xiude has the possibility to overthrow Shen Xiuyi.

And he succeeded.

Look at it now, it’s me who is sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and it’s also me who lives here!

And what about Shen Xiuyi? He is herding cattle in the countryside!

Is there any need to say who is the one who has the last laugh?

Shen Xiude looked at the flowers still blooming in the yard, picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea.

I just feel that this day is very good.

"Big Brother!"

A female voice sounded.

Shen Xiude frowned and looked over, only to see his sister, who used to be bright and beautiful, standing there with a haggard face.

"Qingping, why are you here?"

Shen Xiude was very surprised by Shen Qingping's arrival. She would not come to see him if she had nothing to do.

After all, I am not that idiot as Shen Xiuyi, who can let her deceive me.

"Second brother, I'm here to tell you something. I think you should be very interested." Shen Qingping walked slowly to sit next to Shen Xiude.

Shen Xiude paused while drinking tea. Thinking of his own girlish personality, he always felt that there was something fishy going on: "What do you want to tell me?"

"Brother, won't you give your sister a cup of tea?"

Shen Qingping answered the question irrelevantly.

"Are you trying to put on airs here?" Shen Xiude's face darkened.

Shen Qingping knew the character of her second brother, and she also knew why her father always said that he was not capable of handling the responsibility.

Look at his temper, he can't stand even this little bit of injustice.

"No, second brother, we are on the same boat. I came here to tell you that the little bastard Shen Huaiyu is back."

Shen Xiude was so surprised that he almost knocked over the cup in his hand, and asked with wide eyes: "What?! How can he come back?"

It was not until then that Shen Qingping was sure that no one knew about Shen Huaiyu's return.

"I don't know either. Yesterday he came to my house to see Huaiqing and said on the spot that he wanted to break off relations with me! Second brother, you have to take care of this matter!"

"How can I care? No! What about Shen Xiuyi? Is he back?"

When mentioning his eldest brother, Shen Xiude was still afraid, and his hands were shaking slightly.

He did something like framing my eldest brother. If he were to be reinstated, his entire family would be doomed!

"Second brother, I just found out that Shen Huaiyu is back. As for the news from eldest brother, how would I know? I have to ask you to check it out."

Shen Qingping knew that there was someone helping Shen Xiude behind the scenes, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to bring down Shen Xiuyi so smoothly.

"By the way, second brother, you have to help me with what Shen Huaiyu said about severing ties. You are the head of the Shen family now. If Shen Huaiyu wants to come back, you can't give up your power to him!"

Shen Xiude is now thinking about contacting the people behind the scenes to investigate, so he doesn't have the time to care about Shen Qingping's trivial matters.

Besides, he is not a fool. If Shen Xiuyi came back, he might be afraid, but just relying on Shen Huaiyu?

It's not easy to get him to spit out what he has put into his mouth.

As soon as Shen Qingping saw Shen Xiude's expression, she knew that he didn't take the matter to heart, and she felt annoyed.

If I hadn't helped him relying on my eldest brother's trust, it wouldn't have been so easy for that idiot Shen Xiude to plot against my eldest brother.

"Brother, you must help me with this matter, otherwise what happened back then... I have something in my hand."

Shen Qingping finally dropped a bomb and walked away leisurely.

He totally ignored Shen Xiude's face which turned pale and blue.

Did he think that I helped him in vain?

How dare she get involved in such things without any common sense?

She must have the support of the Shen family, otherwise, relying solely on the Ma family, she would be a peasant all her life.

From a rich lady, she became a common woman, haggling over a few taels of money and grain every day, and bending down to beg others.

She regrets...

So she couldn't let her descendants live like this forever.

She wants to make a way for her children and grandchildren.

Shen Qingping's eyes are full of ambition.
