After Shen Chang and Mrs. Yu received the letter from their daughter Shen Wan, they immediately took the letter to see Mrs. Li, read the contents of the letter and how their daughter handled the matter.

After hearing this, old lady Li asked Mrs. Yu: "Didn't you say that outsiders don't know when you brought Junpei back? Why did the Xiao family find out about this so quickly?"

Yu frowned and said: "The daughter-in-law also finds it strange. It is said that although a few of my mother's family know about this, they will never leak the news. The rest are the people around the daughter-in-law. I have served people in front of me for several years, and my daughter-in-law once told them not to disclose this matter to outsiders..."

The old lady Li answered, "It's not the people in front of you who leaked the news, the rest are people from me, but the people here have also served me for many years, and it stands to reason that no one will leak it to outsiders. However, people who know Knowing the face but not knowing the heart, we have to check the people around us, I don't want to have people who correspond with the Xiao family by my side."

Mrs. Yu agreed, saying that he would check in a while.

Shen Chang, who has been silent all this time, is not so urgent to investigate the "insider traitor". He wants to know how his mother will deal with this matter.

In Suzhou, as a father, he must write back a letter to appease his daughter. In addition, he also wants to send some members of the Shen family to protect her safety.I don't say how many people there are, but it is always necessary to find a few Shen family nursing homes with good skills.This is not considered financial support for her daughter. I don't know if the old lady will agree.

Secondly, since the Xiao family sent Xiao Yulang to let his daughter return the child, Xiao Yulang returned empty-handed, and was locked up by the local commander Mao of Jinhe Town.The daughter said in the letter that she had asked the shopkeeper Wu to manage it, and only asked him to be locked up for a few days, so that he would not suffer from flesh and blood, but this was considered humiliating.

Shen Chang could imagine that when Xiao Yulang returned to Jinling from Suzhou, the Xiao family would definitely come to beg for a child, how could the Shen family refuse this matter then.

"Mom, how do you deal with this matter..." He asked old lady Li respectfully.

Old Madam Li glanced at him and said, "You are the patriarch of the Shen family. Could it be that you can't come up with some ideas? If you have any ideas, tell your mother."

Shen Chang bowed his body, then slowly said what he meant, and finally asked Mrs. Li to show her.

After hearing this, the old lady Li said: "Wan'er said in the letter that Xiao Yulang brought many servants to break down the doors of our Shen family's old house. This is because she didn't take our Shen family seriously. Wan'er let the local It is not too much for the township commander to lock them up for a few days. Although I have agreed with the people in the clan that Wan'er will go to Suzhou for three years and that we are not allowed to support her financially, others have bullied her, so how can we remain indifferent? You can say that tomorrow we will send a few skilled nurses from our Shen family to the old house in Suzhou to protect Wan'er. Who knows if the Xiao family will be tempted to take revenge on Wan'er, especially if we don't return Jun Pei to the Xiao family. "

"Mother, if the Xiao family insists on Jun Pei and refuses to give them a child, will they become enemies with our Shen family and fight with us?" Shen Chang asked, and this is what he was worried about, because he was afraid that the Xiao family would start a fight over the child. Some members of the Shen clan would say that for one of the daughters of the Xiao family, they became enemies with the Xiao family, which again turned into disregarding the interests of the Shen clan.In particular, he was very worried that his second brother would take the lead in making trouble.Therefore, if the old lady didn't come up with an idea to convince everyone about this matter, Jun Pei would inevitably be sent back to the Xiao family in the future.

Old Madam Li smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said, "The Xiao family won't have an enmity with our Shen family for a daughter. If it's a man, it's hard to say. I've already thought of a way to deal with the Xiao family."

Shen Chang and Mrs. Yu were overjoyed when they heard it, so they asked Mrs. Li what she said, but Mrs. Li deliberately kept it a secret, so they would know when it came time.There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, and it is serious for the Shen family to celebrate the new year. She asked the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law to make proper arrangements for the Shen family's New Year.

As for the Xiao family, just wait for them to come.

……

On the second day after Xiao Yulang returned to Jinling, he followed his father Xiao Yanlu to the Shen family.

What they wanted to meet was the patriarch of the Shen family, that is, Shen Wan's father, Shen Chang.

Shen Chang naturally knew why they came, so he came out after changing his clothes, and met them in the main hall.

Xiao Yulang didn't dare to be domineering when he saw his former father-in-law. After saluting respectfully, he directly expressed his intention, that is, he knew that his ex-wife Shen Wan had just given birth to a child. This child was conceived by He Liqian and belonged to the Xiao family. blood, so he, the father, wants to take back the child.

Before coming, his father told him to go to Shen's house, not to mention the incident in Suzhou, he guessed that Shen Wan had already written to Shen's house in Jinling, Shen's family already knew what he did in Suzhou.

It would be useless if he wanted to sue Shen Wan, the Shen family would not stand by his foreign surname.

Xiao Yulang didn't mention things about Suzhou, neither did Shen Chang, everyone seemed to be unaware of it, maintaining superficial politeness.

Shen Chang didn't ask Xiao Yulang where and when he knew that his daughter had given birth, but only said that the child, that is, the granddaughter born by his daughter, was with the old lady, who loved her like a treasure and never asked to leave.If he wanted this child, Xiao Yulang had to ask the old lady.

When he said this, the faces of Xiao Yanlu and Xiao Yulang were instantly filled with disappointment, and Xiao Yulang even murmured: "It turned out that a girl was born..."

Xiao Yanlu immediately didn't want to break up with the Shen family, and wanted to return a granddaughter.

Before he came, his father, Xiao Yongqing, the patriarch of the Xiao family, told him that if he was a man, he would strive to come back, because the children of the Xiao family were weak.If it's a daughter, there's no point in making trouble with the Shen family and hurting the peace of the two families.No matter what, although the Xiao family and the Shen family are no longer relatives, the business between the two families is still going on, there is no need to damage the interests of the Xiao family for a daughter.

However, Xiao Yanlu still pretended to be a kind grandfather and said, "Then meet the old lady and ask her to make Yulang and his biological daughter perfect, so that Yulang can take the child home."

Of course Xiao Yulang followed his father's wishes.

Shen Chang then arranged for father and son to go to Yannian Hall to meet their mother.

Xiao Yanlu and Xiao Yulang's father and son came to Shen's house to beg for Jun Pei. Someone had already reported to the old lady, and the old lady had already made preparations.

After they came to the Yannian hall to salute and bestow their seats, the old lady Li sat on the rosewood arhat couch in the hall, waiting for them to speak.

Xiao Yulang bowed respectfully to Old Madam Li again, and explained his intentions.

After listening, the old lady Li said: "Jun Pei can't go back with you, because my old man entrusted me with a dream, and the eldest grandson and a daughter are compatible with me. If she comes to raise me, it will definitely prolong my life for ten years. If Jun Pei Without me, I'm afraid I won't live for three years."

This is very serious, if the Xiao family decides to take Jun Pei away, the old lady will die short, who can afford this responsibility.

Such a statement made Shen Chang, who accompanied Xiao Yanlu and Xiao Yulang and his son to Yannian Hall, couldn't help laughing secretly.

I thought to myself, it's really unusual for my old mother to play tricks.

After hearing this, Xiao Yanlu and his son dare to disregard the old lady's life and ask for Jun Pei back?

Sure enough, after old lady Li said this, Xiao Yanlu and Xiao Yulang and his son looked at each other, unable to say a word for a long time.

In the end, Xiao Yanlu had no choice but to say that the Xiao family didn't want this child anymore, because the ancestors of the Shen family were related to the child's life, and they didn't want the old lady to lose her life because of the child.

The old lady Li smiled and said, "Then thank you very much."

She even asked Xiao Yanlu and Xiao Yulang to rest assured that Xiao Junpei would grow up safely and happily in front of her, and she had many other granddaughters as well.

Xiao Yanlu and Xiao Yulang laughed ugly when they heard this kind of talk, and they asked if they could take a look at the child, but the old lady Li said that Xiao Junpei had recently contracted a cold due to the weather, and it was not suitable to carry him out to make the wind and cold worse. Declined their father and son's request to take a look at the child.

The old lady Li thought further than they did, because she thought that Xiao Junpei was extremely beautiful in pink makeup and jade carvings, and she was afraid that Xiao Yanlu or Xiao Yulang would be reluctant to take her out after seeing her, and she rekindled her heart to want this child to go back.She might as well reject their request directly, so as not to cause side effects.

So, in the end, Xiao Yanlu, Xiao Yulang and his son came out of Shen's house empty-handed, and they didn't even see the child.

The father and son got into the carriage dejectedly. When the carriage was far away from Shen's house, Xiao Yulang started to scold. He scolded Mrs. Li for being an old fox. He used such an excuse to make himself unable to pick up the child, and he didn't even see the child.

Xiao Yanlu asked him: "You want a daughter back so much?"

Xiao Yulang said angrily: "It's just a pity that I can't get this child back, so I can hold on to that bitch Shen Wan."

Xiao Yanlu snorted coldly, and said: "I knew what you meant. It is estimated that the people in the Shen family were also worried about returning the child to you, and you would not treat her well, so they left her in the Shen family."

"I won't let this matter go away. Before, Shen Wan humiliated me in Suzhou, but now the old lady of the Shen family detains my child and refuses to give it to me. If I just endure it like this, not to mention outsiders, even members of the Xiao family will do it. Make fun of me!" Xiao Yulang said angrily as he punched the carriage.

"Wait a minute, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Now it's not appropriate for us to become enemies with the Shen family. I promise you for my father. If I become the head of the patriarch for my father, I will take away today's humiliation for you and help you get back your child. "Xiao Yanlu stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes.

"Father, ten years is too long. My son found out that Shen Wan opened a silk shop in Suzhou to do business. We can lose the mulberry and elm harvested by Dongli..."

"You mean, a fight with Shen Wan in Suzhou will prevent her from doing business?"

"It's not just that the business can't be done, it's best to close her shop and get her involved in a lawsuit, so that I can dispel my hatred!"

"I can't see it, you kid suffered a loss in Suzhou, and now you're smart. Well, father, I want to hear what you plan to do?"

Xiao Yulang leaned closer to his father's ear and said so and so in a low voice.
