Chapter 85: She was promoted from aunt to great-aunt
"Jin Xiao, why are you bringing this up now?"
Qin Yaozu felt humiliated when his ancestor's illegitimate background was mentioned.
He thought of the name his father had given him with great care, but now the honor his father had brought to the family had become a joke.
He was originally of the same generation as Shen Jinxiao, but now he was several generations younger than him. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
He couldn't understand why Shen Jinxiao and his family, who had kept the family tree, had kept the secret for so many years, and now they were slapping the Qin family in the face in public. What did that mean?
Shen Jinxiao picked up Qin Xiaohai, who was already frightened and weak on the table, with an expressionless face and asked him, "Do you know how to call me now?"
Qin Xiaohai was too embarrassed to face his friends and family who were watching him in such an ugly state. He kept nodding his head while covering his face, "I know, I know. We're going to call you Uncle!"
Shen Jinxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then brought him to Meng Shuyue, who was sitting there with his eyes wide open, and scolded him coldly, "Then what should you call your great-uncle's wife? Call her now!"
“Bang! Bang!”
Two startling noises were heard.
It was the sound of two guests at the banquet table falling off their chairs in shock.
Qin Xiaohai, his parents and their two companions suddenly had a brainstorm, and their heads were almost split open into a valley. Crazy screams whistled through the valley.
"What...what?" Shen Ermei was so shocked that she took a step back subconsciously and shook her head firmly to deny, "Jin Xiao, you...are you kidding me? You don't mean to marry this bitch, do you? She is..."
The next moment, Shen Ermei's open mouth closed in horror under Shen Jinxiao's increasingly gloomy gaze.
But it was followed by a calmer questioning voice, which was heard like thunder in the ears of everyone present.
Shen Jinxiao looked at the pale-faced Shen Ermei and questioned her word by word, “Little niece, what qualifications did you just say that my wife has to hit her!”
"Then let me ask you now, as your son's great-aunt, does she have the right to hit her?"
The deep voice that only belongs to men suddenly rose, and the unstoppable momentum almost blew the roof off, shocking everyone present.
Qin Xiaohai was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Meng Shuyue with a plop and called out to her "Grandaunt" in a trembling voice.
Meng Shuyue sat stiffly in the chair, accepting everyone's attention, his whole face showing an expression of extreme shock.
She looked at Shen Jinxiao, who was staring at her intently with his eyes downcast, and then glanced at Qin Xiaohai, who was humbly expecting her to respond, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Because at this moment her brain was already filled with countless exclamation marks and she could no longer think.
Ahhhh!
She screamed in her head, almost making her faint.
Her husband!
The father of her child!
It turned out to be Song Shijing’s uncle!
He is the youngest and most powerful figure in the Shen family in modern times!
He...he...he, a man like this actually married her!
But he usually deceived her, saying that he was just some naughty kid of his great-uncle's family and an insignificant instructor in the regiment.
Now that I think about it, everything makes sense.
No wonder it caused such a sensation when she went to the army to find him.
From what she had heard about Uncle Song Shijing before, he was a god-like existence.
I had a preconceived notion in my mind that Captain Shen should be a big, strong, tough guy who didn't care about worldly matters and didn't know how to eat or go to the toilet.
He is an ascetic, cold and aloof god.
In the past, whenever Song Shijing or her parents said they would take her to meet Captain Shen, she would be extremely scared and stay away from them.
At this moment, she simply couldn't connect the man who would always be so aggressive when he touched her, the man who would get jealous and go to her ex to feel wronged, with the high and mighty Captain Shen that she had imagined in her head before.
Meng Shuyue seemed to be frozen by this shocking news. Facing the call of the young man kneeling in front of him, he could not find any rationality.
But Qin Xiaohai, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Shen Jinxiao's gloomy face above him and was so scared that he almost cried.
It was a natural fear of this uncle.
Not to mention that the three Song brothers are so close, they are still afraid of this uncle.
What's more, he had already been brainwashed by his elders about his uncle's great achievements, and all he had left in his heart was fear besides respect.
He saw that Meng Shuyue refused to respond to his call, which meant that she refused to forgive him.
If she doesn't forgive, that means her uncle won't forgive!
At this moment, Qin Xiaohai had completely forgotten about the need to save face in front of so many people.
He just collapsed and kowtowed to Meng Shuyue again and again, "Grand aunt, it's my fault. I'm a bastard who speaks without restraint. I shouldn't have followed my mother's words and joked about getting a room with you. I shouldn't have followed the relatives around to mock you and called you a slut. I was blind and confused the order of generations. I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."
Shen Ermei, who was standing nearby, saw her silly son kneeling on the ground and telling him everything about how they had bullied Meng Shuyue just now. She almost lost her balance.
The guests at the table were completely silent, with cold sweat on their foreheads, and they were all terrified.
Everyone present had just said something bad about this "great aunt".
They had already been frightened out of their wits when they saw Shen Jinxiao's gloomy and terrifying look as he looked around. They all lowered their heads like quails and dared not say a word.
Shen Jinxiao looked around at his relatives and friends with a cold gaze, which scraped across the shivering bodies of everyone present like a knife, and finally landed on Shen Ermei, who was also shocked and took a step back.
There seemed to be a raging fire burning in his body, and his cold voice was filled with suppressed anger, his eyes piercing Shen Ermei like a sharp blade, “Just now you…what did you want my Shen Jinxiao’s wife to do?”
Second sister Shen widened her eyes in horror and waved her hands repeatedly, “I…I didn’t, I just drank too much…”
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, pulled Su Yanyan beside her and pushed her in front of Shen Jinxiao, pointed at her and began to shirk responsibility, "Jinxiao, it was her, she said that your wife was having affairs with many people, and that Xiaohai would be in vain if he didn't take advantage of her!"
Su Yanyan, who was originally huddled aside like a quail, suddenly felt a buzzing sound in her head.
Just now she was still in a daze and unable to recover from the ridiculous news that Meng Shuyue was Shen Jinxiao's wife. The next second, she was so shocked by Shen Ermei's words that her whole body trembled, and her legs almost went weak and she knelt on the ground.
"Uncle...Uncle, don't listen to her nonsense!"
Su Yanyan immediately burst into tears, looking like she had been wronged, and sobbed softly, "There are so many uncles and aunts here who can testify for me. I didn't say anything. If you don't believe me, you can ask them!"
Shen Ermei was so angry that her face turned red and her fingers were shaking as she pointed at Su Yanyan.
What Su Yanyan said to her just now were all whispers, and the relatives around them would never hear Su Yanyan's instigation.
But Shen Ermei's words of bullying Meng Shuyue were clearly heard by everyone around.
Shen Ermei looked around at the relatives and friends who had just joined her in mocking Meng Shuyue. At this moment, they all lowered their heads, and not one of them jumped out to say a word to defend her.
