As winter approached, the weather became dry, so the fire that Shen Guangzong had ordered to be set off sprang up from the ground and, fueled by the wind, burned ever brighter.
Suddenly, a few drops of "water" began to fall from the branches.
Jia Lan wet her pants.
Upon seeing this, Shen Guangzong was first taken aback, then burst into uncontrollable laughter: "Hahahaha... You little brat, you're scared now, aren't you? You even wet your pants in fear, hahahaha..."
Ouch, he laughed so hard his butt hurt.
But as the saying goes, "extreme joy begets sorrow." Just as Shen Guangzong was enjoying himself, Shen Cang rushed over with a look of anxiety on his face.
When I entered the hospital, I had lost one of my shoes.
He didn't even have time to pick them up; he hurriedly ordered his servant to fetch water to put out the fire and rescue Jia Lan from the tree.
Looking at his anxious and worried expression, Shen Guangzong's lips gradually flattened, and the smile in his eyes vanished.
He suddenly wondered, was he his own father, or the father of that little brat?
It's not like he's his biological son, is it really necessary to do this?
Over there, Shen Cang had already rescued the person.
Jiang Wan also arrived hastily, surrounded by maids and servants.
As soon as Jia Lan saw her, he immediately rushed into her arms, tears and snot streaming down his face: "Mother!"
"Mother, that cripple is bullying me."
"He's going to burn me alive!"
"You better avenge me right now."
As the saying goes, only the child of the father knows the pain. When Jiang Wan saw that Jia Lan's eyes were swollen from crying and her voice was hoarse, no matter how much she knew she had to keep her composure, her tone couldn't help but be a little harsh.
“I know the eldest son has a problem with me, and he’s afraid that if I’m carrying a boy, he might fight you for the inheritance. But first of all, I have no such intentions at all. Besides, we don’t even know if this baby is a boy or a girl right now.”
"Even if it really is a boy, even if I am truly wicked and only care about money, you shouldn't take your anger out on a child."
"What's wrong with you? Just come at me!"
Jiang Wan hugged Jia Lan, feeling both angry and aggrieved.
Shen Cang half-embraced her, while his other hand rested on Jia Lan's shoulder, patiently comforting the mother and daughter.
Shen Guangzong stood aside and watched, feeling as if they were a family of three, while he was just an outsider.
This feeling reached its peak when Shen Cang glared at him angrily.
"Are you crazy?!" For others, "murder and arson" are two separate things, but for him, it's one and the same thing!
Shen Cang thought that by putting on the airs of a "father," he could intimidate Shen Guangzong to some extent. But he never expected that Shen Guangzong would be even more arrogant than him!
"I think you're the one who needs to wake up!" Shen Guangzong's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour someone: "I'm your own son, why are you protecting this brat?"
"How dare you speak to me like that!"
"Heh." Shen Guangzong sneered, "Does Shen Qiyin rarely speak to you like I do? I've never seen you dare to do anything to her."
"you……"
Shen Cang could never have imagined that one day his eldest son, whom he was once most proud of, would become the source of his greatest headache.
But what can we do?
Seeing Shen Guangzong dragging his still-healing backside, trembling as he stood, he was afraid that if he really went up and slapped him, he would never be able to stand up again.
Helpless, Shen Cang finally said, "You have to give them an explanation today!"
After saying that, he immediately turned to Jiang Wan and said, "Take Lan Ge'er back to change his clothes first. It's so cold, don't let the child get cold."
As soon as the child came over, he smelled a foul odor.
He must have wet his pants.
Fortunately, it's winter now, the wind is strong and the weather is dry, so the taste is a little milder. If it were summer, the unique heat of the evening would make him want to vomit.
Shen Cang and Jiang Wan took Jia Lan back to her courtyard. Shen Guangzong originally didn't want to go, but then he thought that there would be a commotion sooner or later, so he decided to sit on the rattan bench and have someone carry him over.
When Madam Shen heard the news at Zhuijin Hall, she learned that Jiang Wan and Jia Lan had upset her eldest grandson, and that Shen Cang, as the father, only favored the mother and daughter. Naturally, she was furious and rushed over to support her eldest grandson.
Shen Xiyin was naturally aware of the commotion outside.
Although she was the one who brought it together, it was still somewhat unexpected.
She had thought that Shen Guangzong was a little crazy, but she never expected him to be this crazy!
Burning the naughty child...
Surprisingly, she's starting to admire him a little.
She was just wondering what excuse she could use to go and watch the excitement when, unexpectedly, someone handed her a pillow just as she was dozing off!
Jia Lan insisted that she was the one who sent him to Zhuyun Courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Shen Cang immediately ordered someone to summon her.
Miss Shen went off happily.
She had barely stepped over the threshold when her father suddenly seemed possessed, slamming down a teacup on the table. With a loud "crack," the perfectly good white porcelain cup shattered into pieces.
Shen Qiyin paused slightly in her steps.
But it was only for a moment.
She quickly continued walking forward expressionlessly until she reached Shen Cang.
She calmly observed the other person's eyes, which were initially angry but now filled with doubt. Suddenly, she grabbed the only remaining teapot on the table and smashed it to the ground.
With a loud "clang," it was much louder than when Chen Cang had smashed the teacup.
Jia Lan was so frightened that she kept shrinking into Jiang Wan's arms.
Shen Cang was startled by the suddenness of the attack and paused for a moment before regaining his senses: "What are you doing?!"
Shen Qiyin looked completely innocent: "I was helping my father."
"Don't you dislike this white porcelain tea set? Your daughter will help you smash it."
"If there's anything else you don't like, I can take care of it for you. If it can be smashed, just smash it. If it can't be broken..." Her tone was somewhat meaningful: "You can burn it."
With just one sentence, he successfully changed the expression of everyone in the room.
The darkness was even more intense.
"You still dare to mention fire?" Shen Cang's brows furrowed. "Do you know that your elder brother almost burned Lan'er to death?"
"I didn't know before, but I do now." She still had an indifferent expression and said, "So what? You took your anger out on your older brother, why are you yelling at me?"
"You!" Shen Cang was furious, his face contorted with rage. "Lan-ge'er said that you were the one who let him run wild in your elder brother's yard!"
