Chapter 78 The eldest brother looks like his son!
“Keep an eye on it. As long as the black market doesn’t sell banned drugs, Shan Mingyuan and Shan Yurou, who are desperate, will definitely seek help.” A cold glint flashed in Shan Xi’s eyes.
This time, refusing to let Shan Rou in was also to corner Shan Mingyuan and Shan Yurou, making them desperate and retaliatory.
But unexpectedly, when cornered, a dog will not only jump over walls, but also bite its owner. How interesting!
"Yes." Old Master Chen nodded respectfully and then withdrew.
However, just as he was leaving, he happened to brush past Old Master Shan.
Looking up, Old Master Shan looked decades younger, with smooth, delicate skin on his face, without a single wrinkle.
Old Master Chen subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, a hint of worry rising in his heart: After a while, will Miss get tired of his old face?
"Grandma, most of the collateral branches of the Shan family have arrived. When shall we begin the Twenty-Four Bows Ceremony?" Old Master Shan asked respectfully, bowing his head with utmost deference.
Because I'm younger, I feel like my back is straighter when I bend over.
Shanxi tapped her long, jade-like fingers lightly on the table, her tone nonchalant: "No rush, let's deal with Shanyurou after her competition."
A daughter born to a concubine, who is not of good family blood, should definitely be removed from the family genealogy!
“Grandma, I’m worried that if the children are switched once, it will happen again. Why don’t we let the collateral branches go into the Shan family ancestral hall first? Once they have been reviewed and confirmed to be correct, then we can hold the twenty-four-bow ceremony.” Old Master Shan said solemnly.
If Shan Mingyuan could come up with such a method, it's hard to guarantee that others wouldn't as well, since such dirty tricks are commonplace in the palace.
"You can arrange it," Shanxi said casually, waving her hand.
"Yes." Old Master Shan nodded and was about to leave when, as if remembering something, he hesitated and asked, "Great...Great Grandmother, Fourth Brother came to ask me if, besides the auction house, there's anywhere else I can get the Youth Preservation Pill?"
"Ever since Shanjia Auction House came into being, Lin's Auction House has been declining day by day."
"Now that Shan Yixiao has found the Shan family again, the fourth son's wife has also found him, wanting to rekindle their old flame..."
"I wouldn't even bother talking about this mess with you. It was the fourth brother who said he would never go back to what he started, and that he wanted to buy a youth-preserving pill to make them regret it even more!"
He'll make that mother and son regret it so much they'll turn green with envy!
He not only wanted to completely sever ties with the mother and son, but also to cut off all contact with them and even marry someone younger and prettier than her, just to infuriate them.
He felt that the fourth brother was wasting his time, but since the fourth brother said he wanted to start over, how could he bear to refuse?
After all, once you take the Youth Preservation Pill, it's like starting all over again.
Maybe the fourth son really will be able to marry another young and beautiful woman.
"As you know, of all my grandsons, I love the fourth one the most, but I haven't given him any youth-preserving pills. Can you guess why?" Shanxi glanced at Old Master Shan indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shan guessed, "For the sake of fairness?"
“Wrong! If I really gave it to them, who among the people below would dare say I’m being unfair?” Shanxi said nonchalantly.
Only the weak need fairness.
As far as she was concerned, even if she treated each of her grandsons unfairly, none of them dared to utter a single complaint!
She can give her things to whomever she wants, and she never needs to care about other people's opinions!
"What is that?" Old Master Shan frowned in confusion.
"If a single youth-preserving pill can make that mother and son regret it, then their regret is far too cheap." Shanxi shook his head in disapproval.
"If the fourth brother really wants to find a good companion, he should find someone of similar age."
"After all, while the Youth Preservation Pill is effective, it is only effective in the short term, not in the long term. When the time comes, you will be decades older than you are now."
The effects of the Youth Preservation Pill are only temporary. Although the effect lasts for a long time, lasting for several decades, it is ultimately not a permanent solution.
When the time comes, the other party will still find fault with you.
Moreover, it's not surprising that Shan Yixiao and his mother would regret it, because it was bound to happen sooner or later.
On the contrary, if the fourth prince really took the youth-preserving pill and became younger and more handsome, then the fourth wife would cling to him like a leech.
Being entangled by a dog and ending up covered in stench is definitely not a good thing.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Shan immediately understood: "I understand, Grandma, I'll go tell the fourth son right away!"
Grandma meant that rather than letting the Fourth Madam and Shan Yixiao regret it to the core, it would be better to let them get as far away as possible. After all, being entangled with such people is not a good thing, but rather a source of trouble and misfortune!
After all, what good person would want to get into trouble?
Furthermore, what if that heartless mother and son really push us too far and they turn on us and hurt the fourth brother?
As expected, Grandma still dotes on the fourth son the most!
However, when Old Master Shan went to see the fourth son with such a youthful and handsome face, the jealousy in the fourth son's eyes almost materialized.
"Big brother, how is it? What did Grandma say?" the fourth brother asked anxiously, his voice trembling slightly.
Old Master Shan looked at his fourth son, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Fourth son, Grandma doesn't agree to give you the Youth Preservation Pill."
The fourth brother's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his body swayed slightly, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
"Why? Isn't Grandma the one who loves me the most? Why won't she grant me even this small request?" His voice was filled with disappointment and confusion.
Why give it to the boss and not to him?
It makes the older brother look like his son!
Grandpa Shan stepped forward, gently patted the fourth son's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Fourth son, Grandma has her own considerations."
"A single youth-preserving pill made that mother and son regret their decision; such regret was too cheap."
"Moreover, the effects of the Youth Preservation Pill are only temporary. Once the time is up, you will still grow old, and then that mother and son will pester you again. Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"
As the fourth son listened to Old Master Shan's words, his eyes gradually dimmed, but soon he raised his head again, a stubborn glint rekindling in his eyes: "I don't care! I want them to regret it, I want them to know that abandoning me was the biggest mistake of their lives!"
When Old Master Shan saw his fourth son looking like this, he felt both heartache and helplessness.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, Grandma also said that if you really want to find a good companion, you should find someone your own age. Life is long, why dwell on the past?"
Looking at Old Master Shan's face, the fourth brother thought to himself: Was I clinging to the past?
I'm just afraid that I'll get older and older, while you'll get younger and younger...
Having delivered the message, Master Shan was about to leave when he saw Fourth Madam arrive with Shan Yixiao.
Upon seeing the elegant and somewhat familiar Old Master Shan, the Fourth Madam's eyes lit up. She swayed forward and said, "This young master looks very familiar. Have we met before?"
