He walked to the door and found Luo Aofu still sitting on the chair with her head down. He said calmly, "Come with me to see father."
Luo Aofu followed Shen Hongxiu to the old man's ward.
At this time, Shen Zheming served Mr. Shen to finish his porridge and eat a few bites of light side dishes. Mr. Shen looked good, and seemed to be better than before he fell ill.
Shen Hongxiu entered the ward. Old Master Shen looked up and said in a reproachful tone, "Aren't you receiving an IV drip next door? Why did you come here so soon? I'm fine now. You're not young anymore, so you should have a good rest too. Don't be so stubborn..."
Shen Zheming was cleaning up the dishes.
And Shen Zhehan was still nowhere to be seen. Shen Hongxiu felt sad. The person he felt most sorry for was his old father. He had brought Shen Zhehan to his side and taught him personally since he was a few years old. The resources he provided him were the best in the entire Shen family.
Even though he was a useless person, the old man still patiently taught him after disappointing him time and time again. In the final analysis, it was because he was the eldest son and grandson. But now the bloody facts were in front of him. Not only did his father's hard work go to waste, but there might also be potential dangers...
That bastard, if we count by time, he met Shen Mancang and his wife in September last year. They should have known his true identity by then.
It has been more than four months since then, but Shen Zhehan has not said a word. Apart from being a little cold towards the two of them, there is really no sign of anything unusual.
Shen Hongxiu looked at Shen Zheming. Shen Zheming was also involved in this matter, but he must not know the truth. He must have discovered it when he and Shen Zhehan were fighting overtly and covertly. He said lightly, "Zheming, please go out first. I need to talk to your grandfather about something."
Shen Zheming had never seen his uncle with such an expression. How should I put it? His face was gloomy, his eyes were cold and complicated, and there seemed to be a little sadness between his brows.
He glanced at his great aunt who lowered her head with a little surprise, and also felt a little strange. His great aunt has always been very aloof, and she didn't interact much with relatives at home. She always liked to stay alone in the house. It was the first time she saw him so depressed.
I didn’t know what my uncle wanted to say to my grandfather. He rolled his eyes, but still obediently went out with the bowl and chopsticks.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the door, Shen Hongxiu suddenly called him, "Zheming, don't leave the hospital. Go wait for us next door. I have something to ask you."
Shen Zheming's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that because he had told grandfather about Shen Zhehan's bad deeds, his uncle was unhappy and wanted to settle the score with him?
He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait next door."
After saying that, he left the ward and Shen Hongxiu walked over to close the heavy wooden door.
The room was soundproof, and Shen Zheming didn't have the courage to hide outside the door and eavesdrop.
Old Master Shen had been looking at his eldest son in silence, feeling very unfamiliar. It was the first time he saw him being so serious, and there seemed to be a heavy feeling as if a storm was about to come.
So he never said anything.
Shen Hongxiu felt his throat was very uncomfortable, probably because of his impatience. He coughed lightly a few times, turned to look at Luo Aofu, and ordered coldly, "Kneel down!"
Luo Aofu suddenly raised her head, her face pale and bloodless, and Old Man Shen looked at Shen Hongxiu in surprise.
Although he was not very satisfied with his daughter-in-law Luo Aofu, she was honest and dutiful, and his son had always been very good to her. Moreover, over time, his previous dissatisfaction had long been forgotten.
What happened today? Luo Aofu's lips trembled slightly, but she really knelt down to Mr. Shen.
An ominous premonition arose in Mr. Shen's heart.
But when he met his son's pleading eyes, he nodded solemnly, "Hong Xiu, don't worry, no matter what happens, your father can stand it."
Shen Hongxiu looked at Luo Aofu and ordered, "Tell father again what you said to me at home."
Luo Aofu wished she could die immediately at this moment, but for some reason, after she told the secret in her heart, she seemed to feel that she deserved to die. But now, all she could do was to let these two people know the truth, so that they would not be harmed by Shen Zhehan in the future.
She finally spoke in a low voice.
Back then, Shen Mancang's wife became her son's wet nurse, and when they left, they took her biological son away and left their son in the Shen family. When she found out, the two people had disappeared. She was afraid of being punished, and also afraid that her biological son would have been killed, so she gritted her teeth and concealed the matter...
After she finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the ward.
Shen Hongxiu knew that he was in good health, so his eyes were always on his father.
There was once a time when the Shen family was in trouble and it was clearly a matter of life and death, but my father managed to get through it calmly. I just don’t know what will happen today, so I’m worried and nervous.
After a long while, Mr. Shen seemed to find his voice. He clenched his teeth and stared at Luo Aofu with sinister eyes, saying word by word, "Are what you said true?"
"...It's true." Luo Aofu lowered her head even more, her voice choked with sobs and endless regret, but it was too late.
Old Master Shen closed his eyes, but his heart was in turmoil. Such an incredible thing happened right under his nose. It was a pity that his lifelong reputation was now completely ruined.
He was blind and heartless, and actually allowed someone else's blood to mix into his Shen family. He still raised him as the eldest son and grandson and taught him carefully. Even now, he has not been disappointed.
He was the dumbest one! He had always thought that he was wise and decisive, had a sharp vision, and was better than others in everything he did, but now he was fooled by a pair of former servants for his entire life.
How sad, lamentable and hateful! He also asked the same question. When he knew that it was Shen Zheming who told Luo Aofu about this matter, the old man frowned.
This matter is too serious. If it is not handled properly, the Shen family will become a laughing stock in Yuncheng.
But even if it was handled well, the Shen family was doomed to become a joke.
What we need to do now is to determine Shen Zhehan’s true identity.
And the most important point is, is his real eldest son and grandson alive or dead? Mr. Shen couldn't help but burst into tears!
