"Rebellious son!"
Shen Cang pointed at Shen Yaozu's nose and cursed, trembling with anger: "How could I have given birth to a son like you who is good for nothing and eats everything?"
Seeing this, Shen Qiyin, who had been leaning forward slightly in preparation to stand up, subtly leaned back.
You'd be a bastard not to watch a show.
Shen Cang: "Are you so obsessed with women that you're willing to have your eye on just anyone!"
"father……"
"Don't call me 'Dad,' I think you're the one who should be my dad!"
“Father, no matter how angry you are, you can’t joke about ethics and moral principles. How can your son bear it?”
"A joke?" Shen Cang was amused and exasperated. "You actually think I'm joking with you?"
As he spoke, he went up and started punching and kicking her: "I'll make you laugh! I'll make you laugh, are you still going to laugh? Huh? Are you still going to laugh?"
Shen Yaozu curled up in a ball, clutching his head, and begged for mercy repeatedly.
Old Madam Shen doted on her grandson. Seeing that she couldn't hold Shen Cang back, she simply used her body as a shield to protect Shen Yaozu: "If you want to fight, then kill me too today!"
"You..." Shen Cang said helplessly, pounding his chest in anger, "What are you doing?"
"You're asking me? I'd rather ask you!"
"Aren't you his own father? You'd beat your own son to death for an outsider? Have you gone mad?"
Shen Cang explained in a deep voice, "Our son was thinking of the lives of our whole family."
Madam Shen, however, did not believe it: "That sounds nice, but I think you're just thinking about your own career."
"I just don't understand, how can a career path be more important than Yaozu's life?"
"Besides, that girl only learned martial arts from that master for two days. She might just be a servant girl, but you're so easy to fool. You believe whatever he says."
"Mother!" Shen Cang interrupted Madam Shen sharply, "Stop talking!"
A sheltered woman in her boudoir, she knows nothing!
What kind of place is Qiying Pavilion? Even high-ranking officials of the imperial court, who are of the second rank, need the approval of Prince Xiao to enter.
But Ren Dong, a little girl, can now come and go freely, which shows how important she is to Xiong Lu.
Shen Cang pondered that Xiong Lu's teaching of Ren Dong martial arts was probably a pretense, and his real intention was to take advantage of his proximity to the source!
How powerful is the Shen family that they dare to go against the deputy envoy of the Thousand Eagle Guard? And how capable is Shen Yaozu that he dares to steal a woman from Xiong Lu?
That's utterly outlandish and suicidal!
Shen Qiyin observed this scene with a cold eye. After a moment, she suddenly spoke up and said, "Father said something just now that I think you are very right."
Shen Yaozu is indeed obsessed with women.
"My second brother is not young anymore. Shouldn't you and Grandmother discuss finding him a wife?"
"Although it is not in accordance with common sense for the younger brother to marry before the elder brother, special circumstances should be treated specially. It is unknown when the eldest brother will recover from his illness. If the second brother is asked to wait, it is hard to say how long he will have to wait."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cang couldn't help but start to think about it.
As the old saying goes, once you settle down and start a family, perhaps after you get married, this unlucky kid will calm down and won't cause you so much trouble anymore.
So he said, "Very well, I'll find a matchmaker to come to the mansion tomorrow so we can have a proper look at each other."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin revealed a meaningful smile.
Finding a matchmaker to help Shen Yaozu find a partner would help him gain a clearer understanding of himself.
Because just by looking at the kind of girl the matchmaker introduces to him, you can tell what kind of person he is in other people's eyes.
really!
They had only been looking at each other for a day when the matchmaker alone drove away three people!
After returning to her residence, Shen Qiyin had nothing to do, so she went to Zhuijin Hall to watch the excitement. She happened to hear Shen Yaozu complaining to Shen Cang.
"How could I be the one picking and choosing? Look at the kind of people that matchmaker introduced to me!" Shen Yaozu said, looking humiliated. "They were either lame or blind, or as fat as pigs."
"She's barely passable, and she's a widow with two children to support!"
"How is your son supposed to get married like this?"
In the past, Shen Cang would have sided with Old Madam Shen, believing that the matchmakers looked down on the Shen family and deliberately sought out unsuitable candidates to deceive them.
But now, as he faces misfortune at every turn and is battered by reality, his mind has become somewhat clearer.
Given the Shen family's current reputation and Shen Yaozu's own behavior, what good girl would want to marry him!
Even he himself was implicated by his unfilial son and his foolish birth mother.
Thinking of this, Shen Cang became furious. Instead of comforting Shen Yaozu, he vented his anger on him: "How dare you look down on others? Look at yourself now!"
"father--"
"You still have the nerve to call me 'father'? I must have committed eight lifetimes of sins to have given birth to a debt collector like you!"
Shen Cang was extremely disgusted: "It's one thing to be bad at literature and martial arts, but can't you even pretend to be a decent person? You've gone too far, insisting on turning yourself into a rat that everyone wants to kill. Now you can't even find a wife. Let's see what you're going to do!"
Shen Yaozu had been pampered since childhood, so he was not convinced. He muttered under his breath, "All you ever do is talk about me... If you were capable, would you have trouble finding someone to marry me?"
“That Feng Heng is a complete scoundrel, but he’s still a respected official, so even someone like you is eager to marry your daughter off.”
"What did you say, you little bastard?!" Seeing that he not only talked back but also dared to expose his shortcomings, Shen Cang took off his shoe and was about to hit him.
As always, Madam Shen protected Shen Yaozu from being hit by Shen Cang, saying, "Go, go, hurry up and leave. Don't upset your father here."
