Chapter 510: Meeting, Silver Flower in vain

Shen Zhu frowned when she heard Wang calling her sister. She was now a daughter of an official family, and would be the sister-in-law of a noble concubine in the future. She felt that being called sister by such a vulgar woman lowered her status. However, the Niu family had something on her brother now, so she could only endure it.

At this time Niu Tian and Niu Lan both came out. When the couple saw Shen Ziju, a hint of joy appeared on their faces, but then they suppressed it and put on a cold look.

Shen Ziju watched and became even more impatient, wondering if they were trying to scare him. Unfortunately, he already knew what they wanted and was not afraid at all.

"Since you are here, please come in and sit down. Second daughter-in-law, make some tea."

Niu Tian said to Niu Er’s wife, then glanced at the Shen family and turned into the house.

Niu Lan made a gesture to invite the four people and invited the Shen family into the house.

After entering the house and sitting down, Niu Tian looked at Shen Ziju and said, "Master Hanlin, your parents have also told you about the flowers in our house, right? What are you going to do?"

Shen Ziju was furious. He thought that he had a bright future and had finally escaped the fate of farming. But now he was threatened by a farmer, and it was for such a shameful thing. He made up his mind that as long as this most tense period was over, as long as he found an opportunity, he would definitely accuse the Niu family of a crime that would scare them and make them unable to resist. Then they would beg him to let them go and never dare to threaten him again. They would only regret that they had never known him!

"I already know that if the child is indeed mine, I will naturally support them both."

Niu Lan smiled as she heard this and said, "Okay, okay, I knew that Master Hanlin is literate. This learned person has a conscience and will definitely not deny their relationship!"

Wang was carrying tea in. Hearing this, she pursed her lips and wanted to say something nice. If she really had a conscience, how could she take advantage of them and not admit it? They were almost forced to give up. Fortunately, the younger sister got pregnant, which gave them another chance. The old Hanlin must have no choice but to accept them and their son. Otherwise, he would have wanted to drive them out of the capital, right?

"Come, Master Hanlin, please have some tea. We have used up all the tea we had since we came to the capital, and the tea is not good. Master Hanlin, please don't despise us. I think when we become relatives in the future, we will be able to drink a lot of good tea. We heard that the brothers and sisters of the fourth room have even met the emperor, and they are the daughters and sons-in-law of the marquis's mansion. By then, I'm afraid there will be a lot of good tea like a mountain, right? We don't want more. Just enough to drink is enough."

Wang said with a smile that what she heard the most was the story of the fourth branch of the Shen family. It was even more interesting than the stories in the opera. Her eyes were red when she heard it. She wished she could enjoy those blessings instead of Su Zhi. Unfortunately, she didn't have that blessing. She could only rely on her sister-in-law to get some benefits.

The Niu family and Niu Er were silent when they heard this, and looked at the Shen family. They thought so too, and this time they came to the capital, wasn't it to get as many benefits as possible? However, seeing that the Shen family was very reluctant, they could only shamelessly ask for things.

The people of the Shen family were all unhappy when they heard this. They thought that he had already started asking for things before anything happened, and his appetite was quite big. He was actually thinking about the fourth room, and even wanted things from the emperor and the marquis. He was really afraid that he would not be able to afford it!

The Shen family remained silent.

The Niu family didn't care. It was a good thing that the Shen family didn't say anything. They were just afraid that they would say no. As long as they didn't say anything, it meant that they were jealous of them. The Niu family came here with full preparation. They had been thinking about how to threaten the Shen family for more than a year. However, facing the Shen family members who were dressed in silk, they were no longer the country folks like them. They were still worried. Since ancient times, people have never fought against officials, and they were afraid.

Shen Youfu said, "Where is your daughter? Call her over!"

Niu Lan said hurriedly, "Let Master Hanlin go see them first. They will have to talk about their separation these days."

Niu Tian also said, "That's it. Mr. Hanlin, please go and see them. My daughter has suffered a lot these days. Finally, she can see you. You can say something to comfort her."

Shen Ziju thought about it and decided that it would be good to meet Niu Xianhua alone. He could ask many questions, so he stood up and winked at his mother and sister, telling them to keep an eye on the Niu family and not let them eavesdrop. Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu were also very smart and knew what to do.

Shen Ziju walked out of the house and Wang pointed to the door of the east room.

"Master Hanlin, you have to be more friendly. My aunt has suffered so much for you. Even if you don't want to, it's already a done deal. It would be better to recognize them as mother and son happily. You will have a lovely beauty and a fat boy. What a happy thing it is, don't you think?"

Wang smiled and persuaded Shen Ziju. She also knew that Shen Ziju must be unhappy in his heart. She had to make him happy, at least on the surface. The rest was up to her sister-in-law.

Shen Ziju didn't say anything and went straight to the door.

When I pushed open the door and entered the house, I felt it was warm inside. There was a kang in the room, and a woman was sitting on the kang. She was wearing a purple shirt and had her hair simply tied up. She was holding a child in her arms. She was lowering her head and playing with the child, looking very loving. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head and looked at Shen Ziju with a raised corner of her mouth.

"You're here."

Shen Ziju looked at Niu Xianhua and saw that she had not changed much, but perhaps because she had given birth to a child, her face was fuller than before, her face was slightly rounder, and her eyes, which were originally bright, seemed a little quieter. The corners of her mouth were raised, her lips were rosy, and she was charming, but a little cold. Shen Ziju felt a little strange about Niu Xianhua, but looking at her indifferent smile, he felt disgusted in his heart, thinking that she had finally caught him, and she must be very proud!

Seeing Shen Ziju standing there motionless, Niu Xianhua smiled again and said, "Open the door quickly! This child is afraid of the cold. Do you want to freeze him to death? This is your son!"

When Shen Ziju heard the word "son", his body tensed up. He looked at the child in Niu Xianhua's arms. He saw that the child was being held by Niu Xianhua towards him, with black hair tied up with a red rope. The little white face, a pair of big eyes looking at him, and a pink little mouth, looked very cute. Shen Ziju looked at the child. He naturally didn't know whether the child looked like him, nor did he feel like or hate him. He just felt that the child's eyes were like thorns, piercing his heart.

Shen Ziju closed the door with his backhand, then sat on the chair and looked at Niu Xianhua with a blank expression.

Niu Xianhua coaxed the child, who was very well behaved and did not cry. Niu Xianhua then raised her eyes and looked at Shen Ziju. She looked at him carefully and thought that this man was even more handsome than before. It seemed that he had a good life in the capital city, so he was in such a good spirit.

Niu Xianhua thought about this, and a ruthless heart emerged in her heart. She was so in love with him that she even gave her body to him, but he didn't want her, forcing her to let go. Fortunately, God had a good eye and let her have his child. She planned carefully. Then she found him and held him like a snake. Otherwise, he would live a good life here, but she didn't know where she would marry and suffer!

"You're living a good life, but you didn't expect me to come looking for you, did you? You were so cruel that day, so don't blame me forcing you to accept us mother and son now. This is what you should bear. I didn't ruin your marriage with the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, you should be grateful to me!"

Niu Xianhua said with a sneer. She didn't break up his good marriage because she knew that if she did that, the Shen family would definitely not let them go. If she used this matter to threaten him, and still got his protection and a life of luxury, it would be shameful. But she thought that as long as she could endure it, one day she would get what she wanted, stand by his side openly and be his wife, and the so-called rich lady would only become a wisp of smoke!

Shen Ziju said, "You were the one who plotted against me that day, and you still blame me for being cruel? To be honest, I saved you that day, but you hurt me again and again. You are really evil. I only hate myself for saving you that day. If you had died that day, I wouldn't have so many troubles."

"I saved you, so what do you regret? I never regret having anything to do with you. Shen Ziju, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will never give up on you."

Niu Xianhua said that she was cruel but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She fell in love with him because he saved her, but now it has become like this. She thought that she would never feel uncomfortable for a man in her life, and would be happy to marry a man with good food and drink. She never thought that she would want such a heart. But the man in front of her was unwilling to give it to her, so she could only find a way to stay by his side. She wanted to at least end up the same in body and mind.

Shen Ziju was silent for a while, then said, "If you say this child is mine, we will use blood to prove our relationship. If it is really my own flesh and blood, I will naturally make good arrangements for you and your son. Although I cannot let you return to live with me, I can still provide you with food and clothing. But you should not publicize this matter, otherwise my future will be damaged, and we will tear our faces apart and see who is more pitiful! What do you say?"

Niu Xianhua nodded and said, "If I wanted to ruin your marriage, do you think you could still sit here so calmly and be so cold to me and Jiuer?"

Jiuer is the name given to the baby by Niu Xianhua.

Shen Ziju heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Niu Xianhua said. She still knew her duties and would not ruin his marriage. Then everything would be easy and he would have more opportunities to deal with her in the future.

"If that's the case, then let's test our relationship by blood!"

Shen Ziju stood up. He would not acknowledge a son without knowing the reason. Even if this son would become a threat to him in the future, only his own flesh and blood would be qualified to become this threat.

Both the Niu family and the Shen family were paying close attention to what was going on in the room. Even if the Niu family wanted to go over to eavesdrop, they couldn't because the Shen family was staring at them. However, the fact that there was no big noise showed that the two of them were talking well. It was not until Shen Ziju opened the door and said he wanted to do a blood test to identify their relationship that the Niu family began to get ready.

Soon two drops of blood fell into the bowl, swirled a few times, and mixed together.

Everyone in the Niu family had smiles on their faces. Niu Xianhua coaxed her crying son and looked at Shen Ziju. She had been scheming against only one man in her life, so if this son was not hers, whose would it be? Naturally, she was not worried at all.

When the Shen family saw the result, they were not happy at all, but only worried.

Wang smiled and said, "This blood recognition is unnecessary. My aunt is an innocent girl, so this son is naturally yours, Mr. Hanlin. Are you relieved now, Mr. Hanlin? You can treat our aunt and nephew well in the future! Don't you think the place we live in is a little shabby? Jiuer is crying because of the cold!"

Niu Lan also said, "Yes, although Niu'er looks white and plump, his health is not very good. This is all because he was not well taken care of in the womb. My poor daughter wiped her tears every day at that time, and even forced herself to eat. She must be taken good care of from now on."

Shen Ziju said, "I will arrange this. When you hear the news, you can move out."

When the Niu family heard this, a little smile appeared on their faces.

Wang said again: "We can't live on nothing every day. Master Hanlin, you can't let Jiuer go hungry."

Shen Ziju suppressed his anger and said, "You don't have to worry about this. When you come to my house tomorrow, just say that you are a distant cousin. Be careful not to let anything slip."

The Niu family members smiled even more deeply when they heard this. Niu Xianhua lowered her head and coaxed her son, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She thought that the days were finally settled, and there were many days to come!

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, the family members were silent and all looked unhappy.

When they got home, the family sat down and talked about this matter again. Finally, they talked about the money to settle the Niu family. To settle the Niu family, they need a house. This house must be built a new one, and no one else should know about it. The location must be ideal, which is not easy. And they also have to spend money on the Niu family. There are five adults and one child in the family, so the expenses are not small. And it seems that they need to eat well and dress well, at least they need to live like a rich family, which is very expensive.

Finally, they gathered all the money in the house, but it was still not enough, so they thought about selling some expensive gifts. They thought it was barely enough, but then the family realized that the money was not enough to spend, and they all wanted to get more money.

Shen Zhu returned to her room alone, sat on the bed in a daze, thinking about what she would do if she married into the Wang family without money. She couldn't touch the betrothal gifts given by the Wang family, and she had to take them all back so that people wouldn't look down on her. But if she didn't use the betrothal gifts, all the money in the family would be spent.

Suddenly, Shen Zhu's eyes lit up and she thought of something. She stood up, then sat down again, and asked the maid to call Shen Zhang over, saying that she was crying.

Today I will update 4,000 words at a time, and I will make up for the amount I owe tomorrow. I used the battery during the rain and thunder, and it is running out of power.
