When Sheng Mingyuan and Su Yongqin heard what Grandpa Sheng said, they both lowered their heads and kept shoveling rice into their mouths, not daring to breathe.

Everyone knows that the old man’s ex-granddaughter-in-law Chu Zhixin is his favorite, and his two great-grandchildren are the source of his happiness.

Nowadays, due to various reasons, Chu Zhixin, Yuanbao and Tangbao have gradually drifted away from the Sheng family and they rarely get together.

So, when it came to mealtime, the old man would sigh and groan, and he was like a powder keg, ready to explode anyone who came to comfort him.

Sheng Mingyuan was worried that the old man would be too lonely living alone in this big house all day, so he asked Su Yongqin to live in the old house for a long time. As a result, the two of them became cannon fodder. The old man scolded Sheng Mingyuan on every three or five days and Su Yongqin on every two, four or six days. When Sheng Tingye came home on Sundays, the three of them concentrated their firepower on scolding Sheng Tingye. It was a scene of "harmony"!

"You two have your heads buried so low, what are you looking for?"

Old Master Sheng slammed his chopsticks on the table and started to make trouble for Sheng Mingyuan and Su Yongqin. "My granddaughter-in-law, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson have all run away. Can you find them if you bury your heads in the search?"

"Dad, let's not talk about unhappy things while we're having dinner."

Sheng Mingyuan felt sorry for his wife being scolded, so he raised his head carefully and said to Grandpa Sheng, "You have to be reasonable. Xinxin and Tangbao and Yuanbao ran away. It has nothing to do with us. If you want to blame someone, blame that kid Tingye. He went crazy for no reason and got involved with that scheming girl named Lin. Why don't you take a break and wait for that kid to come back so that we can scold him together, okay?"

Sheng Mingyuan's trick of diverting trouble was indeed effective. The old man stopped scolding him and his wife and started to criticize Sheng Tingye from a distance.

"That's right!"

The old man slammed the table and said angrily, "Tingye, that kid, was not whipped enough. He did these things that hurt Xinxin again and again. Is he going crazy with hunger every day? He can't control his belt at all. He wants to go back and get entangled with such a bad-hearted woman?"

"Next time, if he dares to come back, I will whip him to death and make him kneel in the ancestral temple for days and nights before I can let go of my anger!"

What he said was not just an angry remark, but a practical one, and he had beaten Sheng Tingye many times before.

However, Sheng Tingye has seldom returned to the old house recently, so the old man has not had the opportunity to smoke, and he is very angry!

Su Yongqin loved Sheng Tingye the most. When she heard that the old man was planning to whip his precious son, she couldn't sit still for a moment. She raised her head abruptly and argued with the old man directly, "Dad, I'm unhappy when you say that. Tingye is already that old. It's his freedom to choose whoever he wants. You can't force him to be with someone he doesn't like just because of personal feelings!"

"Although he and Chu Zhixin were married and had children, and that girl is also a good daughter-in-law and a good mother, the two of them are just not destined to be together. What can be done? After so many years of tossing and turning, in the end, both sides were hurt. Why should they be tied together and make each other unhappy?"

"Besides, I've calculated their horoscopes a long time ago, and they are in conflict with each other. When they are together, one thing leads to another. Now that they are separated, are they all doing well?"

She had been holding back on this outburst for a long time and had not intended to reveal it at first, but she exploded when she heard that her precious son was going to be whipped again.

This frightened Sheng Mingyuan, and he quickly pulled her clothes and whispered, "Wife, stop talking. You know Dad's situation. Don't make him angry."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Liang Yongqin was still like a little girl. She angrily shook off Sheng Mingyuan's hand and continued to confront Grandpa Sheng, "Dad, do you think we are not uncomfortable? We are separated from our grandchildren, and we are also uncomfortable, but what can we do? Young people advocate personal freedom. Only when they are comfortable can they be truly comfortable. I think there is nothing wrong with this. Instead of two people being miserable together, it is better to be convinced when they are separated. We should all be more open to accepting, right?"

Old Master Sheng stared at Leung Wing Kam and didn't say anything for a long time. It was impossible to tell whether he was angry or convinced by Leung Wing Kam.

After a long time, he looked at Liang Yongqin, then at Sheng Mingyuan, and sneered: "You are advocating freedom now, but you were not so easy to talk to back then. If I had been like you back then and let Mingyuan follow his own heart and do what he felt comfortable with, I'm afraid you and him would have parted ways long ago. You know very well that he loved..."

"dad!!"

Sheng Mingyuan was sweating profusely, and quickly interrupted the old man loudly, "You really are talking about something irrelevant. Can we just let those things rot in the past? Now Aye's marriage is a mess, do you also want Yongqin and I to break up?"

"..."

Mr. Sheng finally stopped talking.

Because this topic is indeed too sensitive for Sheng Mingyuan and Su Yongqin, and it is also a taboo in the entire Sheng family. It is absolutely impossible for anyone other than the three of them to know about it.

Especially Sheng Tingye, he must not know any of it, otherwise this kid will go crazy!

Su Yongqin stopped talking, and her whole body fell into great indifference. She stood up solemnly and said, "I'm full. You guys eat slowly."

The incident that Old Master Sheng mentioned was like a knife stabbing her heart. Even though Sheng Mingyuan had been humble in front of her and spoiled her in everything for so many years, she could not let it go.

Every time she thought of it, that 'knife' would cut her heart, like slow slicing, excruciating pain!

She stopped halfway and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Dad, whether you believe it or not, if time could go back, I would hope that your son would follow his heart and not settle for second best. Maybe... those two children wouldn't have such a hard time!"

"Wife, it's all in the past. Why are you still making such a fuss about it..."

Sheng Mingyuan wanted to die so much that he quickly stood up to comfort Su Yongqin, while turning back to glare at Old Master Sheng.

"Well, this crystal sauce duck is pretty good today."

Mr. Sheng also realized that he had indeed mentioned a topic that was contrary to family harmony, and began to focus on the table and concentrate on eating.

At this time, the servant standing at the entrance of the hall saw Sheng Tingye walking in with a woman in his arms, and announced excitedly: "Second, Second Young Master, welcome home."

"Aye?"

Su Yongqin was originally planning to go upstairs, but when she heard the servant's announcement, she immediately turned around.
