Seeing Shen Hongxiu's ferocious expression, Luo Aofu quickly explained, "It's true that he helped me leave, but we have nothing to do with each other. He likes my cousin Mo Yunyan, but my cousin disappeared, and he has been looking for her for many years, so he has been in contact with me all these years. Lin Heng has always hated you, and he thinks he has a grudge against you, so he intervened in the fleet incident, but I really don't know what he will do next..."

Shen Hongxiu's expression did not improve, but became even uglier. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

This is related to the last incident with the Shen family fleet, which is no small matter. After looking at his father, he calmed down and asked, "What does his liking for your cousin have to do with my Shen family? What else is going on here? Just say it out loud, don't hesitate anymore."

Luo Aofu struggled for a moment, then stopped hiding it and whispered, "Do you still remember the Yuncheng Poetry Society forty-five years ago?"

Yuncheng Poetry Society?

Shen Hongxiu was stunned at first, but then he remembered that when he was a teenager, Yuncheng established a poetry club, and he was also in the poetry club and the person in charge.

It was also there that he met Luo Aofu and eventually married her. Although the Luo family had some assets at that time, compared with the Shen family, it was a small family.

But she agreed because she liked her father. After all, she was an excellent poet at that time and was a famous talented woman in Yuncheng.

And her handwriting is so charming at first sight.

Especially since it was the time of the New Culture Movement at that time, these poems that combined ancient poetry with modern poetry were very touching.

But after living together, he gradually discovered that even a talented woman would run out of talent one day. He was disappointed, but the two of them were already married and had a son, so what else could he say?

The word "son" made him feel uncomfortable again. His face was still gloomy, and he did not soften after hearing this. Instead, he asked, "Luo Aofu, don't beat around the bush. What happened to the Yuncheng Poetry Society forty-five years ago?"

Luo Aofu clenched her hands tightly. She thought she could keep it a secret forever, but now she had no choice but to tell it.

Her heart was pounding and her body was shaking, but she gritted her teeth and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"...Those poems were not written by me, but by my cousin Mo Yunyan. Only Lin Heng and I know about this. My cousin is one year younger than me. You should have met her once. Maybe you have forgotten, but my cousin fell in love with you at first sight..."

Shen Hongxiu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Luo Aofu in disbelief.

Obviously, Luo Aofu's words shocked him greatly.

His body actually staggered, obviously he had been hit.

Old Master Shen looked back and forth between the two people. Why were they bringing up such old stories? Should he continue listening?

Luo Aofu didn't continue speaking, her face also looked unhappy.

After saying this, she knew that the last bit of affection between her and Shen Hongxiu was completely gone.

While it was embarrassing, there was also a sense of relief.

She was considering what to say next.

The old man looked at Luo Aofu.

Shen Hongxiu also stared at her intently.

Almost without blinking.

Mo Yunyan, her cousin, does he have any impression of her?

Searching carefully through the memories of these decades.

Mr. Shen spoke quickly, interrupting what Luo Aofu was about to say. He asked Luo Aofu, "Does what you are going to say next have anything to do with the Shen family fleet?"

Luo Aofu shook her head quickly, "Grandpa, I am telling the truth this time. This old story is between me and Hong Xiu, Mo Yunyan and Lin Heng, and has nothing to do with the Shen family. I also overheard the matter of the fleet by chance before leaving Chuncheng. You can investigate this. One of his subordinates is called Tiger Lord, who was arrested. But it seems that there is something else going on here, but I really don't know."

Old Master Shen stood up without hesitation, glanced coldly at Luo Aofu again, then glanced at his son whose temples were already graying. His expression was a little complicated, but in the end he left the living room slowly.

He is already over sixty years old, and he has no interest in hearing about the troubles he had in his youth. However, he needs to ask Uncle Shen and the others to investigate Lin Heng thoroughly.

And as for that Mr. Tiger, if Lin Heng was the one behind this, he would never let him go.

And sooner or later he will know what Luo Aofu wants to tell her son.

After Mr. Shen left, only Shen Hongxiu and Luo Aofu were left in the room. Luo Aofu was obviously relieved and her body was no longer stiff.

Shen Hongxiu was somewhat exasperated, his mind a mess.

How could he not know the relatives of the Luo family? But how come he never knew that there was a cousin named Mo Yunyan? However, he knew that Luo Aofu's sixth aunt married into the Mo family, but the two families never interacted.

Since the Luo family and the Mo family seemed to have almost severed their relationship, it was naturally impossible for him to visit this relative again.

So naturally, he didn't know that Luo Aofu had a cousin named Mo Yunyan.

He couldn't help but look at Luo Aofu suspiciously, with a cold look in his eyes. What on earth did this woman do? This time Luo Aofu no longer hesitated and told him all the past events that had been buried in her heart for more than 40 years.

Forty-five years ago, Shen Hongxiu was still a handsome young man. Not only did he come from a good family, he was also handsome and talented. He was also a talented man in Yuncheng. Many young ladies from wealthy families liked him very much, and many families wanted to get engaged to him.

But he is Mr. Shen's eldest son, the heir of the Shen family, and the future head of the family, so of course his marriage must be handled with caution.

At that time, she went out to play with her cousin and met Shen Hongxiu by chance. Her cousin fell in love with him at first sight, so she naturally fell in love with him too.

At that time, the poetry club had already been established. Members of the poetry club would go to the poetry club every three days and place their poems in a specially set up poetry appreciation hall in the poetry club so that everyone could exchange and appreciate the poems together.

Knowing that Shen Hongxiu was the leader of the poetry club, she encouraged her cousin to write some poems, because her cousin was extremely accomplished in this area. Sure enough, as soon as her cousin's poems appeared, they caused a sensation in the poetry club and naturally attracted the attention of Shen Hongxiu.

It happened that Mo Yunyan was sick and couldn't go out during that time, so she sent all her poems to the poetry club on her behalf.

At that time, poets in poetry societies did not use their real names when writing poems, just like writers today, who all have pen names.

Mo Yunyan's pen name is the transliteration of her name, Yunmo.

Naturally, she got to know Shen Hongxiu, and out of selfish motives, she claimed the manuscript as her own.
