Old Mrs. Chen felt a pain in her liver when she saw Chen Ahfu. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Didn't you say this house is a den of wolves? What are you doing here again?"
Chen Ahfu originally wanted to listen to Jiang's advice and not to disobey the old woman. But when he heard her vicious voice and looked at her face, and thought of Wang who had suffered for more than ten years, and the dead silly Ahfu, he was furious. She had done so many immoral things, and she still dared to shout here. He said with a gloomy face, "I don't want to come here either, and I don't want to see you even more! But my father forced me to come here. For my father, I endured many things, including the evil you did..."
"Fuer..." Chen Shiying quickly stopped him, "Fuer, don't do this."
The old lady slapped the table on the bed and shouted, "How dare you! You must have been instigated by Wang to disobey your elders. That woman looks weak, but she only does despicable things that are not worthy of being shown on the stage."
The old lady wanted to provoke Chen Ahfu's temper, thinking that if she talked back, she would be disobedient and unfilial. She wanted her son and daughter-in-law to see her true nature and not let her recognize her ancestral roots or register her under the Jiang family name.
Chen Shiying waved his hand and asked the servants to leave. Chen Yuhui and his four siblings retreated to the side room. He frowned and said to Old Lady Chen, "Mom, what did your son tell you yesterday? Why are you like this again?"
Old Mrs. Chen pointed at Chen Ahfu and said, "This girl with a bad conscience is so unfilial, and you are still helping her?"
Chen Shiying advised Chen Afu again, "Fuer, listen. Didn't we agree that your grandmother is old and you still have to respect her? Come on, kowtow to your grandmother and offer her tea."
Chen Ahfu heard the old lady scolding Wang so badly, and it was even more impossible for him to kowtow to her. No matter how weak his knees were, he could not kneel to this old woman.
She shook her head and said, "I will not serve tea to an evil woman who killed her husband."
Old Lady Chen was really angry this time. She slapped the kang and cursed, "How dare you! You little bitch, you are talking nonsense. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Chen Shiying also disagreed and said, "Fuer, how can you say that about your grandmother?"
Chen Ahfu said, "Am I wrong? Dad is so smart that he must have thought that she is your mother and dared not think too much, so he has been deceiving himself. Think about your biological father, my grandfather. The monk had already told him his fortune and said that as long as he got married, he would survive. But what did this old woman do?" She pointed at Mrs. Chen and continued, "She bought my mother and lied to my grandfather that she bought a child bride for Dad. However, she never went to the county government to register. In fact, she only used my mother as a farmhand. She must have made up her mind at that time. , as soon as my father passed the imperial examination, he drove my mother away. Grandfather and father were deceived by her, but the Bodhisattva who protected my grandfather could not be deceived by her. Therefore, my grandfather only lived a few more years and died. And my father in the countryside, because he married my mother to bring good luck, his illness was more serious than my grandfather, but he has lived to this day and his health is getting better and better. So, my grandfather’s early death was caused by her. The sin she committed not only killed her own man, but also her son. If someone with ulterior motives exposed her deeds, my father’s career would be difficult..."
People in ancient times were superstitious and always used Bodhisattvas to talk about things.
Chen Shiying had similar thoughts, but he forced himself to give up the idea as soon as it came to his mind, thinking that it was unfilial to think of his mother like this. But when Chen Afu said it, he was angry that his mother should never lie to her superiors and hide the truth for her own selfish reasons. Regardless of whether the monk was right or not, since he had said that he would bring good luck to his mother, he should really bring good luck to her, so that he could be worthy of his father...
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that she picked up a tea bowl and threw it at Chen Ahfu, shouting, "How dare you! How dare you! I'll beat you to death, you disobedient and unfilial thing."
Chen Ahfu dodged the tea bowl and sneered, "I know you wish I were dead. Just think about it, if I tell the elders of the Chen family back home what you did, what will they do to you?"
Chen Afu had indeed thought of this trick, but before he could use it, the old lady got so angry that he said it out loud in public.
After hearing this, the old lady fainted from anger.
Chen Shiying and Jiang quickly helped her to the bedroom. Chen Shiying saw the old lady's eyelids moving slightly and knew that she had not really fainted.
After helping the old lady lie down on the bed, Chen Shiying whispered in her ear, "Mom, forget it, don't make a fuss. If Fu'er is pushed too far, she will reveal those things to the censors, and then my son will not only be demoted, but it will also be difficult for him to be promoted in the future. If she spreads those things back home, it will not end well for me either."
The old lady opened her cloudy eyes and gnashed her teeth as she said, "Drowned her and said she was naughty and fell into the river. Only the dead can keep secrets. As for the Chu family, let Hui'er take over. Shiying, we can't keep this scourge at home, otherwise she will harm the whole family at any time."
Chen Shiying was shocked and said, "Mom, Fu'er is your granddaughter, how could you do this!"
Jiang also blinked her eyes, thinking that this old lady was too cruel. No wonder she didn't even care about her man's life.
The old lady sneered, "I don't want a granddaughter like that. Listen to what she said just now. Is that what a granddaughter said to her grandmother?"
Chen Ahfu's words had already left a thorn in Chen Shiying's heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. He shook his head and said, "Mom, haven't you figured it out yet? Fu'er is not Wang, and you can't control her at will. The Chu family is more likely to let you replace her at will. When Fu'er came to our house, the Chu family sent a few people to protect him, and there are two martial arts masters living in the outer courtyard. Your idea will not only kill you, but also your son."
The old lady's eyes flickered a few times, and she continued, "We can't let this bad girl recognize her ancestry, and we can't register her as your daughter-in-law. If she is an illegitimate daughter, I wonder if the Chu family will still marry her!"
Chen Shiying sighed and said, "The Chu family wanted to marry Ah Fu, and they had already found out everything about her. They really don't care whether she is the daughter of my Chen family or not. Mother, you should rest well in the room. I know all those things."
He asked the servants to serve the old lady, and then he and Jiang returned to the living room. Chen Afu was sitting on a chair looking at the sky.
Then he said to Chen Ahfu, "Fuer, your grandmother is confused. Don't bother with her."
Chen Afu didn't want to make things too serious today, so he nodded.
Chen Shiying asked all the children to come in again and said, "Your grandmother just felt a little dizzy because of excessive joy, so she went to rest. From now on, Fu'er is the eldest daughter of our Chen family, Hui'er is the second daughter, Qing'er is the third daughter, and Xia'er is the fourth daughter..."
