When Mingzhu grows up and is about to leave the court at the age of ten, she will naturally be asked to return to the Shen family.
But Mrs. Shen's face sank, and she said sullenly: "Mr. Pei's words are wrong. Grandmothers can educate their granddaughters. Can't I, a grandmother, educate my granddaughters? Or do you all think that your daughter will die?"
Now, as a grandmother, I will abuse my granddaughter? When your daughter returns to her parents’ home, will she spend all her time arranging bad things about me, her mother-in-law?”
This is an extremely rude reprimand and slander. It is tantamount to saying that the Pei family has no tutor and Pei Ruolan is unfilial. The Pei family has been a scholarly family for generations, how can it bear such an insult.
Mr. Pei was so angry that his face turned pale.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Shen used another trick. She said that she would let the child decide who to follow. At that time, Shen Mingzhu was still young and could not decide, so naturally it was Shen Mingtang who decided.
Aunt Zhao led Shen Mingtang into the hall and let him make his own choice.
At that time, Shen Mingtang chose to stay in the Shen family. He said, "Grandpa, I want to stay in the Shen family with my sister. Don't worry, I will take care of my sister."
Shen Mingtang was only five years old and knew nothing except his love for his sister. His choice was taken as evidence by Mrs. Shen and she gave Mr. Pei a knife in the heart.
Mrs. Shen even directed Shen Mingtang, "Mingtang, I'd like to offer your grandpa a cup of tea. It's not easy for him to come all the way."
At that time, although the Pei family was also in the capital, it was at the very edge of the capital, two days' journey from the Shen family.
Shen Mingtang obediently picked up the teacup handed over by Aunt Zhao and gave it to his grandfather.
Everything is revealed.
Shen Mingzhu clenched her fists, unable to suppress her hatred for Mrs. Shen. She said coldly: "That old poisonous woman actually used a child who doesn't understand anything to harm the old gentleman."
When Mrs. Pei contacted Shen Mingzhu and told her what happened later, it became clear when she thought about it.
She said bitterly: "That poisonous woman must have tricked Mingtang and made him agree to stay at home and not follow his grandfather. But Mingtang didn't understand anything. In order to make his father and grandma treat her and her sister well, she naturally obeyed everything.
My, poor child...poor child..."
She beat her chest and stamped her feet, feeling like her heart was being cut by a knife.
Shen Mingzhu felt that it was not that easy. According to her analysis, they must have threatened her brother or something, and it was definitely not a simple deception.
Otherwise, the elder brother would not have been so decisive in the future and would not have become his legitimate son, and would have chased her to the countryside.
They must have threatened my brother, who was still heartbroken even though he was only five years old.
Maybe they were using her to threaten her brother. If he didn't obey, they would take her away or kill her. The brother had no choice but to obey.
But later, my brother obeyed and he was sent to the countryside. My brother was so angry that he broke up with the family in anger.
Sure enough, Old Mrs. Pei smiled bitterly and said: "It's ridiculous that we also received threats from the old poisonous woman, saying that now that we have spoken, we should not try to find the two of them again. If we want them to separate from the Shen family, then Shen
We have many children and grandchildren, and we don’t care about one or two children. This is clearly threatening us and wants us to never see those two children..."
This evil intention threatens kind people, especially relatives who are careless and chaotic.
