Chapter 508: Cow and Flowers

Shen Ziju was busier than usual. He was thinner than before, but also more energetic. When he walked, even in late autumn and early winter when he started to wear more clothes, he looked particularly graceful. Everyone who saw him would admire him and praise him as another handsome young man after Meng Jinliang and Mu Chengzhi.

Shen Ziju was very happy with this title. Meng Jinliang and Mu Chengzhi were both well-known figures in the capital. One was the queen's younger brother and a former top scholar, and the other was the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and a young general. It was a great honor for him, a second place scholar and a mere Hanlin, to be compared with these two people.

Shen Ziju was even more energetic and was fully preparing for the upcoming wedding. Although that wife might not be the one he loved, she was the one he needed and he would treat her well.

Shen Ziju's career was going smoothly, he was rising rapidly in the career ladder, and he was about to marry a lovely wife. He felt that this period of his life was the smoothest. He thought it would be nice if he could continue like this. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.

When Shen Ziju came home one day, he saw that all his family members had gloomy faces. He wondered what happened, as his parents had been smiling these days. Even his sister, although she was not happy about marrying Wang Feng, no longer had a gloomy face after she accepted it. Why did they all have the same expression now?

"Dad, Mom, Zhu'er, what happened at home? You don't look very happy."

Shen Ziju stepped forward and asked.

Shen Youfu and the other two were all thinking about something with their heads down. When they heard Shen Ziju's voice, they all raised their heads and looked at Shen Ziju. Their faces did not improve. They just looked at him straight, which made Shen Ziju's heart sink. It seemed that something really happened. Otherwise, his parents and sister would not have such expressions.

"Dad, Mom, you guys just stared at me without saying anything, how would I know what happened? Just tell me, even if the sky is about to fall, I will hold it up. If things really don't work out, we still have our fourth brother, who has the eldest prince."

Shen Ziju thought of Shen Zian and was not too worried.

Shen Youfu stood up and said, "Follow me to the back and talk. Don't ask anyone to follow you."

Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu also stood up, wanting to go along.

Shen Ziju waved his hands, telling the servants not to follow him, and then he followed Shen Youfu in silence, wondering what was going on.

Waiting to the backyard. Entering the room where Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang lived, Shen Youfu sat down, but Shen Zhang did not sit down. She walked to Shen Ziju's side and looked at her. Her face was full of worry, and Shen Zhu also stood aside, lowering her head but no one knew what she was thinking. Their behavior made Shen Ziju more and more worried.

"Zi Ju, someone came to our house today. He is from our hometown."

Shen Youfu spoke, and he lit up his pipe. Since he came to the capital, he only smoked this pipe in his room, and never outside. He felt that it looked rustic. He had a problem with smoking, that is, he took a long puff of the cigarette, which meant he was in a bad mood. Now he took a long puff, and his whole face was covered in smoke.

Shen Ziju asked, "It's a good thing that someone from my hometown has come. Dad and Mom, you are so unhappy about it, is it because you don't like the person? Then just send him away. Don't let him go back empty-handed. Giving him some things and money is also a token of our appreciation. It will also save him from saying bad things about us when he returns."

Shen Ziju still values ​​his reputation very much, so even if he dislikes someone, he will take good care of him. He knows that the more he dislikes someone, the more they will say bad things about him, so he cannot offend them. They cannot control people who are hundreds of miles away, so they can only bribe them with money.

Shen Youfu's face turned ugly again. He stared at Shen Ziju without saying anything.

Shen Zhu said at the side: "Young man, the people who came this time are not someone who can be dismissed with just a little money. They are simply jinxes!"

Shen Ziju's face straightened. He was in a good time now, so he would not allow any bad luck to affect him. Thinking of the expressions of his parents and sister, it seemed that the person who came was really as Shen Zhuru said. He thought of many people, but he couldn't think of who it could be, so he quickly asked Shen Youfu.

Shen Youfu said angrily: "Who has held any evidence against you in your life? How could you forget it so quickly? Think about the disgusting incident that happened when you had an abortion last year!"

"You mean cows..."

Shen Ziju could not finish his sentence, and his face turned pale. That was the biggest humiliation in his life. He had gotten involved with the woman named Niu Xianhua, and she had come looking for him. Fortunately, the dispute was settled, but why did she show up again?

"Didn't they say she's married? Could it be that her family is here?"

Shen Ziju asked, thinking that these people came just to gain benefits, and that they could be sent away with some money. This matter must not be known to others, especially in the days before his wedding. If his fiancée really knew about it, it would cause a huge uproar, and he would be very anxious if the marriage was ruined.

Shen Zhang said quietly, "If only her family members came, it would be easy to deal with. Even if she came, it would be easy to deal with. But now it's not just them who are here."

Shen Ziju raised his eyebrows, his handsome face darkened, and he wondered what his mother meant by that. Niu Xianhua and her family were here, so it was still easy to deal with. But if someone else came, who could be more difficult to deal with than them? Shen Ziju knew what his mother was thinking. Now even his mother was so worried, it seemed that things had really gotten serious.

"Mom, besides them, who else is here? Didn't Niu Xianhua get married? Why is she here too?"

Shen Ziju gets upset when he thinks of Niu Xianhua. That is the shame of his life! He thinks that if this woman dares to disturb his life, he will have the urge to kill her!

Shen Zhu snorted at the side, "That Niu Xianhua is not married at all! I don't know who spread the rumor that she was married, it's not true at all! Her family sent her away and told her to live in another place! She went to live in another place to have a baby! Now she comes to your house with a child and insists that it's your baby!"

When Shen Ziju heard this, he felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his head, followed by a continuous rumbling noise that made him feel dizzy.

"child?!"

Shen Ziju calculated the time. If Niu Xianhua really had a child, the child would be almost half a year old!

Shen Youfu said coldly, "Who knows where this bastard was brought from, but he claims to be the grandson of our Shen family! He wants to rely on a child of unknown origin to rely on our Shen family, but it's not that easy!"

"That's right. Since she had a child, why didn't she come to my house when she was pregnant? Why didn't she come to me when the child was just born? Why did she come to me when the child was so old? It's obviously a lie!"

As Shen Ziju spoke, his face was gloomy, but his handsome face did not lose much of its luster. Instead, it made him look more mature. Shen Zhu looked at this young man and thought that her brother was no match for that Niu Xianhua. It was just a daydream. She held Shen Ziju's hand.

"Young man, that child is definitely not yours. The Niu family is just trying to get by on us. You must find a way to deal with them so that they won't dare to cause you any trouble again. Our family won't associate with these poor people anymore. They are not even worthy of carrying our shoes!"

"Pearl is right."

Shen Ziju nodded. He was a little confused. He was not sure whether Niu Xianhua's child was his. After all, he and Niu Xianhua had skin-to-skin intimacy, so it was possible that they had a child. Although he said it was not his, what if it was? When he thought of this possibility, Shen Ziju felt like a fire was on fire.

Shen Zhang said, "Zi Ju, I didn't want to believe that the child was yours, but Niu Xianhua said that we could prove our relationship by blood test. She didn't show any fear at all, as if she was absolutely sure that the child was yours! I also asked her why she didn't come to you when she was pregnant, and she said she was afraid that we wouldn't recognize her, and that she would wait until you were successful and proud before coming to you. What a vicious bitch!"

Niu Xianhua's meaning was very clear. If Shen Ziju refused to acknowledge the child in her belly when he was in Hebian Village, he might have tried every means to get rid of her child. At that time, she would have no choice but to eat yellow lotus. After the child was born, the Niu family heard that Shen Ziju had found a good marriage. They thought that they would come to him before Shen Ziju got married. For the sake of his reputation, he would not dare to do anything to them.

Shen Ziju felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He thought of Niu Xianhua. He still remembered what that woman looked like. Because it was his shame, he remembered it clearly. At that time, her eyes looked at him. Although she was smiling, her eyes were as vicious as a poisonous snake. She said, "You will regret it."

"She said she could test her blood relationship?"

Shen Ziju asked, since Niu Xianhua dared to say this, then the child must really be his.

Shen Youfu said, "I saw the child, and he looks a lot like you when you were little. This damned little bitch! She hid it so well!"

Shen Zhu said, "Dad, how does that child look like my brother? Not at all!"

Shen Youfu glared at Shen Zhu and cursed, "Get out of here! You can't deny it now! What's the point of denying it?! It's not a bad thing if it's our Shen family's child! At worst, we can keep the child and not marry the woman! Which official doesn't have a few concubines?! It's nothing for your brother to have one!"

Shen Zhu felt a little dissatisfied when being scolded by Shen Youfu. She thought that she was about to get married, and to a good family, so why was he still scolding her? She looked at Shen Ziju, thinking that this was all Shen Ziju's fault, but she saw that Shen Ziju's face turned ashen, which scared her.

There was a power outage due to thunder and rain, so I uploaded it late, sorry. I promised to update it at 3 o'clock, but it's too scary outside, I will update it tomorrow morning. Don't blame me, it was thundering outside, and I waited for half an hour before the power came back, I was really scared.
