"Wow, he listens to me so well."
Shen Qiyin looked surprised, then turned to Jia Lan, who was nestled in Jiang Wan's arms, and said, "Little brat, come here and let me slap you."
How could Jia Lan possibly listen?
Shen Qiyin then said to Shen Cang with a serious expression, "You see, he doesn't listen to me at all."
Shen Cang was no longer concerned about whether Jia Lan would listen to him or not; all he could think about was her calling him a "little brat." Jiang Wan, who was listening nearby, turned green with rage.
Shen Cang frowned and said, "How can a young lady like you use such vulgar language!"
"Father, do you want to listen to what you're saying?" Shen Qiyin gave him a "go mad somewhere else" look: "He slandered me for no reason, what good things could I possibly say to him?"
"He's slandering you?" Shen Cang clearly didn't believe it. "He's only nine years old! Could he lie?"
"What, does it not have a mouth?"
"you……"
Shen Cang felt that he couldn't reason with her at all, and had only gotten himself into a lot of anger for no reason.
Shen Qiyin sat down gracefully, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then continued, "Father, you should think things through yourself before believing everything others say."
"What do I get in return for letting him cause trouble in my older brother's yard? Just so he can turn around and sell me out in front of everyone?"
"Logically speaking, I am your own daughter, while he is just an outsider. How come you believe everything he says and question me without even asking questions? I suppose you treat my elder brother the same way?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Guangzong immediately looked at Shen Cang with an expression that said, "There must be someone more powerful than me to deal with you."
Originally, when Jia Lan told him that Shen Qiyin had asked him to come to Zhuyun Courtyard to cause trouble, Shen Guangzong almost believed it.
But at this moment, all doubts vanished.
He even empathized with Shen Xiyin a little.
As the saying goes, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." For the two of them now, Jiang Wan and her child, along with the one she's carrying, are their biggest threats!
As a result, Shen Guangzong completely aligned himself with Shen Qiyin's camp and began to target Shen Cang, his father.
He bluntly stated, "I don't believe Qiyin would do such a thing either."
As he spoke, he suddenly glanced meaningfully at Jiang Wan: "Children may not know how to lie, but adults might teach them."
Shen Guangzong suddenly interjected, which surprised not only Shen Cang but also Shen Qiyin.
Xianglan stood behind Shen Qiyin with her head down, her face also full of doubt. She thought to herself, "Wasn't the young master punished by being spanked before? How come his brain is broken now?"
They've started to lose the ability to distinguish friend from foe.
Furthermore, Jiang Wan naturally understood the unspoken meaning behind Shen Guangzong's words, but she managed to hold back her words and instead ordered Shen Cang to charge into battle for her.
"But you can't set fire to the child!" Shen Cang initially just wanted to support Jiang Wan and her son, but now that the argument had escalated, he was in a difficult position.
If he can't get the upper hand in this matter, where will he put his face as a father?
So, in the end, he actually forced Shen Guangzong to say, "Quickly apologize to Wan Niang and the others!"
"Apologize to them?" Shen Guangzong gave him a look that said, "Are you out of your mind?!" "Who do they think they are!"
"You bastard! How dare you speak like that!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the father and son, Jiang Wan finally spoke up and advised, "That's enough, that's enough. Don't let a child like Lan Ge'er cause trouble for everyone."
"Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen sneered: "Now you're thinking about the importance of family harmony? Why didn't you say a word before?"
Jiang Wan's face stiffened.
It wasn't because Old Madam Shen embarrassed her in public, but because she thought her words were too vulgar.
Shen Cang's face also darkened: "Mother!"
"What are you saying, especially in front of the younger generation?" he said, glancing at Jiang Wan's belly to imply that Old Madam Shen was pregnant.
Thus, Madam Shen reluctantly shut her mouth.
Jiang Wan continued, "I can understand that the eldest young master is unwell and therefore anxious and prone to overreacting."
"As for the second young lady, she works hard outside to make a living for the manor, and she comes into contact with all sorts of people. It's understandable that she has a bit of an eccentric temper."
"From now on, I will keep a close eye on Lan Ge'er and make sure he doesn't run around and cause trouble for the two siblings."
Shen Qiyin raised her eyes: "Could you tie him up with a rope, Aunt?"
Jiang Wan was stunned.
Shen Cang was completely exasperated: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
“I didn’t say anything. I was just asking. If it doesn’t work, then forget it.” Shen Qiyin said good-naturedly, “I just wanted to tell Aunt that it’s okay if you can’t keep an eye on them. Although I have a bad temper, I never hold grudges against children.”
"Anyway, if he hits me, I'll hit him back; if he curses at me, I'll curse back. Neither of us should put up with the other."
Shen Cang's hands were numb with anger: "Listen to this, listen to this! What kind of talk is this!"
"Hehe." Shen Qiyin chuckled: "Who do you want to hear this from? Big brother? Aren't you afraid he'll listen and learn from me?"
Shen Cang was furious.
What's even more infuriating is that he turned to look at Shen Guangzong and saw him staring at Jia Lan with shining eyes, his gaze almost one of "excitement".
He was completely numb.
What kind of children are these!
Shen Cang originally wanted to use his status as "father" to force them to bow down, but he found that it was completely useless. In the end, he only said: "Just as Wan Niang said, she will keep Lan Ge'er in check from now on and will definitely not provoke you. But you can't bully this child either, or I will never agree!"
Xianglan thought to herself, "What else can you do if you don't agree?"
Between being angry and feeling humiliated, I chose to feel humiliated. Haha, how funny.
Compared to Xianglan's optimistic attitude, Shen Guangzong did not feel any joy at the fact that he almost burned Jialan to death but escaped unscathed.
He saw the essence through the phenomena.
For a child that isn't his own, his father is going to such lengths. If Jiang Wan's baby is born tomorrow and it turns out to be a boy, will she still have a place in this household?
most……
It's because the baby in her womb couldn't be born smoothly.
When this thought popped into Shen Guangzong's mind, he felt no fear whatsoever about what he was about to do; on the contrary, he was somewhat delighted that he had thought of this.
A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. We must always be prepared for a rainy day and think of danger even in times of peace.
However, Shen Cang was skilled in medicine, but he didn't understand medicine. If he wanted to get rid of Jiang Wan's child right under her nose and leave no trace, it would be quite difficult.
This gave Shen Guangzong a major headache for several days.
Until a few days later—
At midday, when the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Wan was playing with Jia Lan by the small pond in the mansion.
suddenly!
Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side, pushed her to the ground, and began to beat her while straddling her.
One punch after another landed on her stomach!
