Chapter 14 Nightmare

Shen Ding Shan didn’t give much face to the second branch of the Shen family. They insulted his wife and children, and drove them away, which caused his wife die in vain. He will remember this for his whole life.

Because of them his wife can never come back, his little A’Ning would never have a mother in this life.

Old Shen Furen was so angry that she felt a pain in her chest, but she knew that it was not the right time to lose her temper. Who made him not crawl out of her stomach? Who made her son so disappointing? Who made this Shen Ding Shan just a nephew. He was not her son , she didn’t give birth, fed or raised him so naturally he was not close to her. Now she has to rely on Shen Ding Shan to live.

Only in this way could she enjoy all the splendour and wealth in the Jing Shi Capital (Da Zhou’s Capital City) and be served by many maids. Of course, she would hear others call her Old Shen Lady.

Only when she takes control of The General’s Mansion, will it be hers in the future.

However, she really couldn’t bear Shen Ding Shan’s tone. When she was about to say something, her eldest daughter-in-law quickly grabbed her sleeve and whispered.

“Mother-in-law, be careful. Walls have ears. Now the general is dissatisfied with us. If he is dissatisfied again. Then… “

“He dares!” Old Shen Furen sneered, “I still don’t believe that he can drive this aunt out?”

The eldest daughter-in-law stood aside and didn’t dare to say anything more, but she cursed the old fool in her heart. She clearly forgot that she was Shen Ding Shan’s aunt not mother.

Moreover, although they were surnamed Shen, they were not even from that branch of the Shen family. If Shen Ding Shan really didn’t want to support them, no one would poke Shen Ding Shan’s back and scold him for being unfilial because Old Shen Furen did not raise him.

Even if he really don’t drive them out, they will just have a bad reputation. But if Shen Ding Shan really wants them to lose face he can drive them back to the old mansion. If that happens they won’t be able to lift their heads in the Capital again.

Old Shen Furen only had two sons, but she still had a daughter. She still wants her daughter to be married into a high-class family in the Captial City. Without the general’s mansion, who would still recognize them? They were not even qualified to attend the gatherings of the noble ladies in the Capital City.

Old Shen Furen still couldn’t see clearly what was happening in front of her. At that time, she had told the old lady that she shouldn’t be so ruthless. If Eldest Brother-in- law came back, how could they live? But instead of listening, the old lady not only drove Eldest Sister-in-law out, but is also unwilling to give them back her dowry. What’s more, she even made the relationship between her and Eldest Brother in Law incompatible like water and fire.

At the thought of the child in Shen Ding Shan’s arms, she bit her lip involuntarily which hurt both her and her heart.

In the past, everyone would pay attention to that child, she did not expect that her brother would bring her back again. Shen Qing Chi have been smart and sensible since childhood. Her daughter Shu was even the same age but could never be her match. The general mansion would only belong to Shen Qing Ci in the future.

That child was not only her eldest brother in law legitimate daughter, but also a member of the Lou clan which was very rich. When Lou Xue Fei married her eldest brother in law as a business woman, the ten mile red dowry almost went around half of the capital city. At that time, it was extremely glorious. Of course, it was more surprising that the dowry of nearly two hundred sets, each of which was worth a lot of money. At that time, the Lou clan only had one daughter. Almost half of the family property was given to her. If the child didn’t come back, she would have a portion of the dowry. But now that the child was back, she would have nothing to do with it in the future.

She clenched her handkerchief and gritted her teeth, with a flash of resentment and malice in her eyes.

Anyway, she was a child without a mother. Who knew if she would grow up in the future? Even if she had grown up, she didn’t know how she would be taught?

The people here have different hearts, each of which is thinking for himself, but on the other side, Shen Ding Shan has already returned to their yard with Shen Qing Ci in his arms.

“Father…” Shen Wen Hao hurried out, followed by his sister Shen Qing Rong.

When Shen Ding Shan gave his son a name, he thought that he could abandon his martial arts and let him become a scholar in the future. However despite his efforts, his son was a martial-loving person. At a young age, he liked to wield knives and spears, and he was even bold enough to follow his father to suppress bandits. Shen Ding Shan almost broke his son’s legs because of it.

As for Shen Qing Rong, it is just like her first name which means clouds and brocade, Shen Qing Rong resembles her biological mother, Concubine Shu. Shen Qing Rong has always been gentle and elegant but also shy and timid.

Shen Wen Hao rushed over. At the first sight of Shen Qing Ci, who was held by Shen Ding Shan, his eyes were red. “Is it A’Ning, Dad, is it A’Ning?”

After A’Ning was born, he loved to hold her most. She was still small, loved to laugh, did not like to cry, her eyes were always wide open, and she also loved to pull his finger into his small mouth to gnaw. The soft tooth bed bit his finger, itchy and soft, which made his heart melt away.

After they separated from his mother, What he wondered most was whether A’Ning had grown up or not. Did she still like to bite others? Was there food for her? Because his mother had given all the silver coins she had to the pair of brother and sister.

With this silver, their wet-nurse had settled them well and they had never suffered any hardship. However, his mother had carried the baby A’Ning with her. He wondered if they had eaten enough?

Until the father got the news back, said he found A’Ning, but this mother is dead.

He wiped his tears and swore to himself that he would protect his sister well in his life and would not let anyone hurt even the hair on her head.

Now little A’Ning is in front of him. She had grown up, but she was still very young. She was leaning her little face on her father’s shoulder, shaking the rattle drum in her hand, saying nothing and listening to nothing.

“I, A’Ning, I am…”

Shen Wen Hao’s fingers on the side of his body tightened and then loosened. Why didn’t his sister look at him? He was her brother, who liked to hold her and make her laugh most since childhood. She should be able to recognize his voice and remember his face, shouldn’t she?

“She’s tired,” said Shen Ding Shan while stroking his daughter’s little head.

“Let her sleep first.” he had deliberately slowed down the speed on the road, but in the end, she was still very tired. After all, she was still too young, a very small child.
