Chapter 537 of The Farmer's Spring Field

Shen Ziju frowned when he saw the situation in front of him, wondering what had happened again. It sounded like someone was smashing things. Ever since his parents came to the capital, even if they were extremely angry, they would not smash things. They wanted to save face, and today's commotion was too big.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi looked at each other, and both thought that today was not the right time to come.

At this time, a maid saw Shen Ziju coming in, and hurriedly bowed and greeted Shen Ziju. The other servants also hurriedly followed suit and bowed and greeted him.

"You guys go down, and don't talk nonsense about this."

Shen Ziju gave orders to the servants, and they left in a hurry. Shen Ziju looked at Shen Zian and the others awkwardly, and then walked into the house. The noise in the house was still going on. He didn't know the situation, and he was really worried. He didn't know who was angry and who he was angry at. If it was his father and his mother, it would be a big deal. His father had never been so angry with his mother. If his mother was smashing things, he would suspect that his mother was stimulated by something.

As soon as he entered the house, Shen Ziju breathed a sigh of relief because he saw Shen Zhu's maid standing outside. He thought that it was his sister who made his parents angry.

Shen Zhu's maid was called Xiaolan. She had been standing outside with her head down nervously. She wanted to look inside the house from time to time, but she didn't dare. She didn't notice Shen Ziju and his group coming in. When Shen Ziju came closer, she discovered them. She screamed in fear, took a step back, and bumped into the door frame, making a loud noise.

"What are you panicking about?"

Shen Ziju frowned and glanced at Xiaolan. Hearing the noise inside continue, he ignored her and went straight in. Shen Zian and Su Zhi had asked the children to stay outside. Only he and Su Zhi came in, and they followed them into the inner room.

Shen Youfu was not in the room. Only Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu were in the room. Shen Zhang was chasing Shen Zhu with a feather duster in her hand. Shen Zhu was running around the room. The two of them were circling around the table, looking very ridiculous. There were many porcelain fragments on the ground.

Shen Zhang and Shen Zhuquan saw Shen Ziju coming in. Shen Zhu ran towards him and shouted, "Little brother, save me! Mother is going to beat me to death!"

"Don't let your brother protect you! No one's plea today will work! Zi Ju, don't protect her. You have no right to interfere in this matter today!"

Shen Zhang said angrily, and took a few steps forward, trying to pull Shen Zhu back. As a result, her foot stepped on the fragments, and she screamed in pain.

Shen Ziju hurried over to help her up and asked anxiously, "Mom, are you okay? Sit down quickly and check if your feet are injured."

Shen Zhang sat on the chair. She lifted her foot and found that the sole was not broken, but just bruised. At this time, she also saw Shen Zian and his wife. Because they saw such an embarrassing thing, their faces turned blue and red. She wanted to laugh but couldn't, and her face was a little distorted.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi both thought that what happened today was very unexpected. Shen Zhang would actually hit Shen Zhu. Shen Zhu was originally Shen Zhang's beloved daughter, and now she is married to a good family. She is already so old, but she was chased and beaten by her. What did Shen Zhu do wrong? What made Shen Zhang so angry?

Shen Zhu also saw Shen Zian and the others, and her face was not happy either. She thought that they had seen her in such an embarrassing state!

"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you are here in the capital!"

Shen Zhu felt so embarrassed, but she still had to force a smile. However, at this moment, the hairpin on her head, which was about to fall off, finally couldn't hold up and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Then, other jewelry fell down, and half of her hair was scattered. Shen Zhu really wanted to shout to the sky at that time. She felt so embarrassed!

"Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, please sit down first. I'll be right back!"

After Shen Zhu finished speaking, she picked up the hairpin on the ground and ran outside. Seeing Xiaolan still curled up there, she went over and pinched her, asking her to comb her hair.

Su Zhi felt a little funny, but she didn't laugh out loud, and her expression didn't change. She looked at Shen Zhang and nodded slightly. After knowing the matter of Shen Zian's mother, they were not so close after meeting. Now she came here to see Shen Youfu, but Shen Youfu was not here, but she saw such an interesting scene, which was really worth the trip.

Shen Zhang was also embarrassed looking at the debris on the ground, so she asked Shen Ziju to invite Shen Zian and the others to sit in the living room while she cleaned up and came out.

After everything was ready, everyone sat in the living room and were served tea by the maids.

"This is Liansheng, right? She's really cute, just as cute as Lian'er. Today, your fifth sister-in-law took her back to her parents' home. If you stay a little longer, you might be able to see her. You haven't gotten to know your sister-in-law well enough, and she's a good kid."

Shen Zhang looked at Lian Sheng and praised him, while talking to Shen Zian and the others.

Shen Zian didn't say anything. Su Zhi simply responded by asking where Shen Youfu was.

"Your father said he was going out for a walk today. You wait for a while, maybe he will be back."

Shen Zhang smiled and said that she was the one who sent Shen Youfu out today, otherwise how could she and Shen Zhu have such a mess?

Su Zhi thought this was a good idea. She said she could only stay for a while and had to go back. She said she would come to see Shen Youfu again when she had time. As for when she would come again, she didn't know. It was like this last time in the capital. Except for Shen Ziju's marriage, they didn't come here at all. If it weren't for Shen Ziju's warm invitation, they wouldn't have come this time. Unexpectedly, they saw a good show when they came, so it was not in vain.

Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi didn't stay long. They found that Shen Zhang would not explain why she beat Shen Zhu, so they didn't ask. Shen Youfu was not there, and it would be boring to stay in such an awkward situation. Besides, Shen Zhang and the others also wanted them to leave quickly, so the couple said goodbye and left quickly.

When they were far away from the Shen residence, Su Zhi said to Shen Zian, "I think Shen Zhu must have done something to make her mother very angry. This matter may be very important, otherwise she would not have said nothing when she beat Shen Zhu, and Shen Zhu did not beg for mercy. They didn't want anyone to hear why they were arguing. It's not a matter of face anymore."

Shen Zian said: "No matter what it is, as long as it doesn't hurt us, we don't need to care about what they do."

Shen Zi'an thought of his mother. He knew that Shen Zhang must have killed her, but he had no evidence. Instead of hoping for evidence that would take a long time to come, he hoped that Shen Zhang would be punished quickly, even if it was for other reasons, as long as she was punished.

"You're right. Now no matter what happens to them, it won't affect us."

Su Zhi said that their relationship with the emperor is very good now. Even if Shen Zhu marries Wang Feng and the imperial concubine wants to usurp the throne because of the second prince, it will not affect them. They have Xiao Ri, and their position is very firm.

Shen Zian and his family strolled leisurely along the street and then went home.

Shen Ziju's home was still in chaos. Shen Ziju asked Shen Zhangshi why she hit Shen Zhu. In his impression, his mother was always gentle and dignified. She had never chased her daughter with a feather bat like a shrew. And just now in front of Shen Zian and others, Shen Zhangshi and Shen Zhu were trying their best to pretend that nothing had happened, which made him feel that something serious had happened.

"Zi Ju, this is a matter between me and your sister, don't worry."

Shen Zhang didn't want to tell Shen Ziju, so she spoke in a light tone, as if it was not a big deal at all, just a conflict between her and her daughter.

Shen Ziju frowned and asked Shen Zhu again, "Zhu'er, if you don't tell me, my brother will be angry."

Shen Zhu was in a dilemma. Today, Shen Zhang had called her over and beaten her because she had stolen Shen Zhang's small box. Now Shen Zhang had discovered it and asked her for the small box. She naturally could not give it back. Not to mention that there were many jewels in the small box that she liked, and she was reluctant to give it back. If she gave it back, her mother would think she was a thief. If Shen Zhang got angry, she would definitely not love her anymore and would definitely not give her the jewels anymore. She didn't want that to happen. So she didn't want to admit it.

"Brother, it's really nothing."

Shen Zhu thought about it and decided that she couldn't let her brother know about this. If he knew about this, he would definitely help his mother to get those jewels.

Shen Ziju stood up and said, "Mother, Zhu'er, you are going to keep this a secret from me. Since you don't trust me and are treating me like an outsider, then let's do this! Don't look for me if anything happens in the future!"

"Zi Ju, what happened that makes you so angry?"

At this time Shen Youfu came in. He was dressed like an old man from a wealthy family. As soon as he entered the room, he saw his son with a stern face saying some threatening words. So he asked, then glanced at Shen Zhang and Shen Zhu, feeling a little unhappy, thinking that there was something he couldn't tell Ziju. It was no wonder that his son was unhappy because he was hiding it from him.

As soon as Shen Ziju saw Shen Youfu coming, he told him about how Shen Zhang had beaten Shen Zhu.

Shen Youfu also began to interrogate when he heard this. He didn't want Shen Ziju to be so polite. He stared at him and asked loudly, with a look of unwillingness to speak.

Although Shen Zhu was afraid, she didn't dare to say anything and just looked at Shen Zhang.

Shen Zhang thought about it again and again, and finally said it out loud, saying that she suspected that Shen Zhu had taken her small box.

Shen Youfu frowned when he heard this. He knew that Shen Zhang had a small box, but he had never seen it in these years. He thought it was just some jewelry. He was a grown man. Although his family had been frugal in these years, they were not short of money, so he had never thought of taking the box. Now the box was stolen. He was unhappy. How could something he had never seen disappear? And it was stolen by his daughter. She was a noble lady married to a good family, but she was so unreasonable. He was really angry!

There were some minor accidents, but luckily I was able to come in and code one chapter. I will resume the double update tomorrow, and slowly make up for the three chapters I owe.
