At that time, Shen Wenchang was in high school and went to school early in the morning for morning reading classes, so he didn't know.

Apart from Shen Wen Zhong and the old lady, no one else in the family knew about it, so Shen Yue couldn't have known about it.

Could it be that the old man’s death was really related to her?

impossible!

Although he couldn't think of any reason, he had already regarded the old lady as his own mother in his heart.

He couldn't accept that his biological father's death was related to his biological mother.

Noticing the change in Shen Wenzhong's expression, Song Li said, "Dad, when you were eighteen, grandpa was only in his forties or less than fifty. How come he passed away? Was he sick? Or was there some other reason?"

Song Li was asking about Shen Wen Zhong, but what he wanted to hear was the old lady's explanation.

The old lady also noticed that Shen Wenzhong was absent-minded, and thought that he was thinking about his father and felt uncomfortable, so she hurriedly replied for him considerately:

"At that time, your grandfather had social engagements almost every day for company matters, he drank a lot, ate greasy food and had no time to exercise.

One night, I got up to go to the bathroom and suddenly had a heart attack and fell down. Since no sound was made, no one knew about it.

By the time I found out the next morning, it was too late to rush to the hospital.”

The old lady wiped away her tears with great acting skills and said, "It's all my fault. I slept too soundly that night. If I had discovered it earlier, your grandfather would not have passed away like this."

[You are such a hypocrite. Isn't it your fault? You were afraid that my great-grandfather would not die, so you even turned down the air conditioner by five degrees.]

Shen Wen Zhong carefully recalled the scene that morning. He was wearing a vest at the time and did feel chilly when he went in.

Even so, Shen Wen Zhong still didn't want to believe it.

"I can't blame you. You and my dad are husband and wife. My dad is like an umbrella that protects you from the wind and rain. Now that he is gone, you have to take over the umbrella from his hand and continue to protect us from the wind and rain.

At that time, there was chaos at home and at work, and every day when you got home you had to deal with relatives who came to make trouble.

When you go to the company, in addition to begging for money from everyone, you also have to compete with employees in wits and courage, and cooperate with various reasonable and unreasonable demands from customers.

That period of time was the most difficult you had ever experienced in your life for more than 20 years."

So...she would not kill her husband who protected her from the wind and rain.

【Take over the umbrella from your great grandfather and continue to protect you from the wind and rain?】

[Is there a possibility that all these storms were brought to you by her? ]

Shen Wen Zhong: What do you mean?

[Before her great-grandfather was buried, Zou Xiaoman asked her family to contact the various branches of the Shen family and the shareholders of the company.]

[Dividing the family property, dividing the shares, withdrawing from the company... She was the one who took care of all the big and small things. ]

[The purpose is to win the title of 'highly respected' and 'great contributor to the Shen family'. ]

[This is like when a new emperor ascends the throne, the queen mother first creates a turmoil of internal and external troubles in order to better control the new emperor.

Then he personally helped the new emperor quell the unrest.

During the process of calming the situation, he put on a show with all the people who had negotiated terms in advance, and established a supreme image of self-reliance and tolerance.

After this incident, his position in the new emperor's heart rose rapidly.

This new emperor is undoubtedly my foolish grandpa, who was sold in a trap, and he is still thanking the man foolishly. 】

[Tsk! The editing of the heroine-led drama is really weak when it comes to Zou Xiaoman. Look at her arrangement. ]

Shen Wen Zhong: This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly.

Fu Qingru: There is no need to check what my granddaughter said. It is a pure waste of time and resources.

Crowd of spectators: We are not going to be assigned the job of investigating again, are we? We just want to have a good time, not work overtime!

Can't you, the protagonists, do something about it? We, the spectators, are asked to do everything. What else do you, the protagonists, do?

The protagonist is capable of investigating, and we can wait until he finishes investigating before continuing, but... can we wait?

The people who were eating the melons couldn't wait any longer. Expired melons are not delicious at all. They have to be picked and eaten right away to enjoy the taste.

…

But I didn’t expect that not all the protagonists are useless, such as Song Li, who believed in his daughter and learned to talk nonsense like his own mother.

Song Li said: "Speaking of this, I remember when I was at the Yan family before, there was a gathering of several elders, and they mentioned you when they mentioned the role models of noble ladies in the Beijing circle."

"Oh!" The old lady smiled and said, "What did they say about me?"

After decades of hard work, she has a good reputation in the Beijing circle, so she is not afraid to talk about it.

Song Li pondered for a moment and said, "I heard from several elders that there is no other couple in the capital who can successfully take root in the Shen family, as an old man and a young wife who still has no children."

Zou Xiaoman was very happy to hear this, "It's mainly because the Shen family treats me very well, especially your father and your four brothers."

[Old lady, you can just talk, but why are you touching my grandfather and uncle's arms? Not only did you touch them, but you also provoked my grandmother with your eyes.]

[Ugh! My grandpa and uncle are completely dirty. ]

[It’s all my beautiful mom’s fault. Why do I praise her for no reason? Bad mom, I won’t be with you anymore! ]

Song Li: ...

All I'm saying is, can you be a little more patient?

Song Li said: "They said that you were quite capable back then, and could be considered a model of a heroic woman."

[Fuck! How come you are addicted to praising beautiful women? ]

[Serving as a wingman for the old lady to consolidate her position in the eyes of the men in the Shen family, beautiful mother, have you become distorted by love? ]

Fearing that the little thing would say something unpleasant again, Song Li continued without waiting for the old lady to reply:

"They say you have strategy and know how to sacrifice small things for big ones. When you were 20 years old, your family forced you to marry the head of the Shen family who was more than 20 years older than you, so that they could get benefits from the Shen family.

Later, when my grandfather passed away, your mother's family tried the same old tricks again and wanted to marry you to the person in power of another family.

In order to avoid being sold like a commodity, you decided to stay in the Shen family and take root there."

"They are really good at talking nonsense." The smile on the old lady's face began to become unnatural.

Not only did the old lady look unnatural, but Shen Wenchang, who had been peeling oranges silently, also looked unnatural.

[My beautiful mother said that 70% of it was false and 30% was true. It might have been distorted.]

Song Li: It turns out that I guessed three points correctly. It’s really not easy.

You have to know that she went into the examination room without even reading the book for a day, so it was already very good to get three points right.

Shen Wenzhong corrected him, "Back then, your grandmother's family did find a good family for her, but she couldn't bear to see the family your grandfather had built fall apart, so she stayed in the Shen family to help dad."

[Grandpa, can you shut up for a moment? I feel like you are dirty when I hear you talking now. You have been polluted by the old lady.]

Shen Wenzhong: Are you polite? I just want to ask you if you are polite.
