If this matter is not clarified, Shen Huai'an will face more than just being forced to leave the group; he could lose everything, and even ruin his life because of it.
Shen Taimin's desire wasn't just about seizing power; he wanted Shen Huai'an to spend the rest of his life in prison.
His heart is black; he's so cruel to his own brother. It's terrifying how vicious he can be.
"Second brother, don't be too sad. It's not worth getting upset over someone like that." Lin Wanxing was afraid that Shen Huai'an would be sad because of this.
The second brother always regarded Shen Taimin as his elder brother, but he repeatedly framed the second brother.
Sincere treatment yielded such an outcome; anyone would be heartbroken in that situation. Lin Wanxing understood her second brother perfectly.
As Lin Wanxing spoke, she didn't forget to lick the ice cream in her hand; the sweet chocolate-flavored ice cream was especially delicious.
Children are always thinking about food, and Lin Wanxing thought the ice cream would melt soon, so he wanted to eat it quickly to avoid getting his hands dirty.
Watching him eat ice cream, Shen Huai'an couldn't help but ask, "Xingxing, isn't this mine?"
Lin Wanxing was still focused on licking his ice cream when his second brother suddenly asked him a question, and his mind went blank for a moment.
The ice cream was handed to him by his second brother, and then he ate it. Lin Wanxing calmly licked his lips and said, "Ah, yours. I thought you weren't going to eat it, and it would be a waste to throw it away, so I ate it for you."
"Second brother, if you still want to eat, I'll go buy you another one."
Lin Wanxing sometimes just can't control his mouth, and he really hates himself for it.
He's so lazy and gluttonous; if it weren't for his second brother keeping an eye on him, he might have gotten as fat as a pig in just a few months.
"It's nothing, I was just asking you. Eat!" Shen Huai'an said as he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Lin Wanxing's mouth. He said with a hint of self-reproach, "Why did you get food on your face?"
After Shen Huai'an and Lin Wanxing finished eating ice cream, he had Zheng Hu take them directly to the old house.
There's already a commotion at the old house.
The classified documents were the last trump card that Shen Taimin held, and he summoned the older generation of the Shen family.
People gathered in front of the ancestral hall, discussing the two brothers in particular.
The old lady remained silent throughout; most of the people sitting in the ancestral hall were elders of the Shen family.
All the elders of the family sat upright in the ancestral hall, drinking tea and waiting.
Inside the ancestral hall, incense smoke curls, and the ancient Chinese-style ancestral hall is majestic and mysterious. The family tablets are enshrined inside, protecting the family's prosperity and the Shen lineage.
Even if Grandpa Shen were alive, he might not be able to create such a grand scene.
"When will Shen Huai'an be back?" The third uncle, sitting in the main seat of the grand chair and holding a pipe, tapped his pipe hard.
The old lady, sitting below, quickly replied, "Huai'an will need a little more time."
"It will take some time. How long? You are all elders. How can we just stand by and stare at a junior like him?" Uncle San was not easily fooled. He was always dignified and fair.
He was never biased, and that's why he became the head of the Shen family after the old man's death, the patriarch of the entire family.
Third Uncle was a difficult man to talk to. He was strict, self-disciplined, and did not allow anyone to break the family rules.
The old lady was also slightly intimidated by him; it seemed that Shin Tae-min was determined to leave no way out after what had happened today.
Some people couldn't sit still any longer and spoke up for Shen Huai'an: "Huai'an is a child who has been raised by all of you uncles and elders. His parents are gone, and he is not in good health, so it would be best to find out the truth."
"So as not to upset the child or make him feel like we are bullying him."
The old lady took a deep breath and looked back at the old housekeeper behind her. The old housekeeper lowered his eyes and gave her a reassuring look.
"It's best to get this straight. I will absolutely not show favoritism to anyone."
"No one should make hasty judgments before things are clear."
Most of the people present today are elders.
Third Uncle nodded in agreement, "Everyone is right. Taemin is Huai'an's older brother. They grew up together. Today, he suddenly stood up and accused Huai'an."
“I think there must be something else going on. He said with certainty that he had evidence that Huai’an had embezzled public funds.”
Third Uncle knew that the people under this old house were fighting amongst themselves.
But no matter how much they fight, they shouldn't joke about the family's interests.
Behind the Third Uncle's tablet is the family's ancestral tablet, a testament to the hard work and sacrifices of our ancestors who fought and died to build this empire for their children and grandchildren.
Now that the Shen family has established itself in Jiangcheng, these younger generations have no idea how hard these old folks worked back then. Now that life is better and they've had a few years of plenty, they've started fighting amongst themselves.
If this family keeps fighting like this, they'll be brought down sooner or later.
Today, he wanted to take this opportunity to see what his two brothers really wanted.
Suddenly, someone below sneered: "If the brothers are at odds, it just means someone isn't managing things properly."
"That's the truth since ancient times. We're all from the same root, so why make such a fuss? Don't you agree, sister-in-law?"
The person asking the questions was Shen Yaohai from the Shen family. Although he was young, he was of seniority and naturally came today.
Suddenly questioned, all the old men turned their eyes to the old lady.
Actually, everyone has known over the years that the old lady favors Shim Tae-min, and her affections for the second and third sons are just for show.
