Lin Shiheng said so, but he was too lazy to see the dumbstruck expression on the face of Shen family's mother and son.
My family is about to have a wedding. Although killing a person is nothing to me, I wont be looking for bad luck at this time. Ill let you go today. Wait until the next time. When I shoot you again, I won't hold back.
As he spoke, he held the child in his arms and turned to the group of boys at the door, Someone, send Madam Shen and Young Master Shen away."
There were also several people from this group who knew the Shen family. Knowing the hostilities between the Shen and Fang families since five years ago, someone immediately came forward after hearing the order and almost rushed up to push them away.
Madam Shen was only a woman who could barely support her family. After being stimulated by Lin Shihengs merciless attitude and words, she could only flee and help her son go home.
Neither the mother nor the son spoke. They called a rickshaw and went home.
Impossible."
After entering the house, Shen Yunqing, who had been stunned into silence, suddenly spoke, Fang Licheng is a divorcee, with a child. Lin Shiheng is now very prosperous. How could he be willing to marry her?
He must have made up a lie for the chilcl to disown me as his real father."
Mother Shen saw that her sons eyes were full of insistence. Although she felt that Lin Shihengs words were definitely not unwarranted, she was afraid that her son would look for trouble. With red eyes, she tried to comfort him, This must be the case. Mother will find a doctor for you. You should rest well and stop thinking about these things.
How could Shen Yunqing not think about it?
Even though he disliked Fang Licheng in every way and wanted to divorce her at the expense of his reputation, and had no father-son relationship with Fang Zheng, he only thought that the boy was misbehaving and unpleasant because he was young but was bound to be of great use in the future.
But when he knew that Fang Licheng was actually going to bring Fang Zheng to remarry, the stifled anger in Shen Yunqings heart surged out.
Why should she remarry?!
Even if she was divorced, he was still her husband. She was actually so unfaithful. Seeing Lin Shiheng so young and vigorous, she was going to marry him.
If this happenecl in the past, a woman like Fang Licheng would be scorned by thousands of people...
Shen Yunqing was shocked by his own thoughts when this idea bubbled up.
He had always considered himself to be the first to abandon the customs of the old society. Nowadays, times were different and divorced women were indeed able to remarry.
He clearly knew this, but he couldnt get past the bend.
Even if it was a new society now, in Shen Yunqings subconscious mincl. Fang Licheng was still his woman. When they were divorced. Fang Licheng should still keep her body for him and live raising his son Fang Zheng for the rest of her life.
After all, she wasn't those vulgar peasant women that no one would gossip about when she remarried. If a woman married a second husband, it would only make people laugh.
And Lin Shihengs status wasnt what it used to be. How could he be willing to marry Fang Licheng?
Maybe he deliberately said such things to anger him?
Shen Yunqing desperately belittled Fang Licheng in his heart, as if this could conceal the truth that she was about to marry Lin Shiheng.
But even if he deceived himself and didnt go out in order to not hear the auspicious news from the Fang family, Lin Shiheng still married Fang Licheng in style.
On the day of the wedding, Lin Shiheng sat on a tall horse and walked in front. followed by the crisp pace of the soldiers. After picking up the bride by beating gongs and drums along the way, he walked arouncl the city especially to show that he respected the marriage so that everyone in the city could see the grand marriage, revealing the dowry he had accumulated cluring the five years of fighting outside. And then he gracefully and personally carried Fang Licheng off the sedan chair.
The wedding, which was attended by the whole city, wasnt witnessed by Shen Yunqing because he was recovering from an illness in his residence, but Ren Fuling saw the wedding procession very clearly.
Strictly speaking, this was the second time she had seen Lin Shiheng.
The first time, when her lover was beaten and injured, she was so focused on defending her lovers interests that even if Lin Shiheng was handsome in her eyes, he was still a vicious and cruel devil.
This time, Ren Fuling stoocl upstairs, looking at the blaring gongs and drums downstairs and the man walking in front with a joyful face.
Only then did she realize that this Marshal Lin, who had appeared in Jin City with a powerful presence, was surprisingly handsome.
Its just that he had a feudal way of thinking. He was a Grand Marshal. but he had to do this kind of traditional wedding.
Ren Fulings heart was belittling, but as she watched Lin Shiheng ride away, for some reason, there was some loss in her eyes.
Her mind couldnt help but recall what Father Ren had said.
Originally, her father wanted herto marry Marshal Lin.
Its just that the person she loved was Yunqing and could only miss out on Marshal Lin.
Its a pity that a man like him, who was also said to be a heroic figure, would choose Fang Licheng, a rude and illiterate divorcee.
Even if Ren Fuling wouldnt aclmit it. after seeing Fang Licheng marry Lin Shiheng in such a beautiful way, some envy still grew in her heart.
She tried to comfort herself. When she got married to Yunqing in the future, she would also have such a grand wedding.
The wedding that Ren Fuling wanted was nonexistent after all.
A month later, she went to see the cloctor because she was feeling unwell and was diagnosed as pregnant.
Father Ren was furious.
He gave his daughter one last chance, Im leaving here. If you still consider me your father, listen to me, abort the child, go abroad with us, and Ill find you another young gentleman. I won t hide your situation, and I wont ask you to have a cleep relationship, as long as you can live a good life together."
Ren Fuling clearly didnt want to be whisked away.
Although she had a moment of panic when she knew she was pregnant before marriage, however, after the panic, there was only surprise.
After all, her father had always been reluctant to let her marry Yunqing, but if she had this child, everything would be different.
Father Ren didnt expect that his daughter would still be so obsessed at this point. He was so angry that he wanted to leave immediately, but he couldnt let go of his love for his daughter, so he could only suppress his anger and explain to his daughter, You have studied a lot, why are you so unreasonable?"
Lets not talk about Shen Yunqing abandoning his wife. Five years ago, he forced the Fang family to suffer that indignity. This means that now, Marshal Lin clearly wouldnt let the Shen family go. Even if the Shen family woulclnt just fall overnight, their end would definitely be no better. If you marry Shen Yunqing at this time, arent you just waiting to die with him?!"
Ren Fuling was overwhelmed by love, holding her stomach and crying, Arent you still here, Dad? You and Marshal Lin are familiar with each other. You could help to plead for mercy. As long as the two families put aside the differences and reconcile as before when people hear it outside, it would be a good thing for everyone."
Faced with his daughters whimsical ideas, Father Ren simply let out a disappointed laugh, Heh."
If you were driven out of your husbands house just after giving birth, would you forgive him?"
Ren Fuling, see for yourself. Not to mention Shen Yunqings character and his current situation, just the fact that he was able to make you pregnant before you were married. Cant you see that he has no respect for you at all?
Seeing his daughter crying, Father Ren turned over the stool with a kick. His face was livid with anger. Throughout the ages; when an unmarried man approaches a woman, hes flirting. And when an unmarried woman approaches a man, shes a slut!! He made you into slut, but you still want to marry him?! In love, he has no respect for you. Moreover, his family has fallen. You are going to suffer a lot when you marry him. At first, you can endure it because of your feelings for him. But for how long?!"
Since you were born, I have taken care of you in the palm of my hand, dressed you in silk and satin, in beautiful clothes. Would the Shen family be willing to give you the kind of new things that you want? Even if hes willing to give, his family is in decline, so where would the money come from? Im here to lay it all out for you. If you marry him in less than ten years, you will definitely regret it!"
Father Rens heartfelt words didnt leave a trace in Ren Fulings heart. She was still sobbing and crying, begging her father to let her marry her sweetheart.
Ren Fuling firmly believed that she really had feelings for Yunqing, and she would never regret it.
She refused to abort the child. Father Ren shut his daughter away for three clays and listened to her beg for three days. On the fourth day, his whole body seemed to have aged ten years. He sent someone to the Shen family to ask Shen Yunqing to propose marriage and began to deal with matters of preparation for leaving the country.
Before leaving, he also told his daughter with certainty that the country was going to war and it was very dangerous. The Ren family was relocating and wouldnt have the chance to come back in their lifetime. If she was regretting it, she could go with her family.
Ren Fuling was still very determined to choose Shen Yunqing.
Father Ren finally gave up on this daughter completely.
The Shen family acted quickly and proposed the marriage.
Although Mother Shen despisecl Ren Fuling, she couldnt ignore the fact that Shens family was in critical conclition and had long lost their former glory. Even if Ren Fulings father couldnt be compared to Lin Shiheng, he was still somewhat influential in the local area.
By getting married at this time, the family might be able to turn over with Father Rens help.
Therefore, after receiving the news from Father Ren, though she still disliked Ren Fuling in her heart, she immediately arranged a bride price and sent Shen Yunqing over to propose.
Arguably, this was what Shen Yunqing had been looking forward to for five years. He should be happy, but perhaps it was because his limbs were shot three times. Although he had been recovering for a long time, his heart always felt heavy. He couldnt help but wonder what it would be like if he haclnt divorced Fang Licheng.
He knew that he couldnt tell anyone about his thoughts and easily hid it. He smoothly married Ren Fuling, who was unmarried but pregnant.
There were some problems before she married and entered the door.
Ren Fuling admires Western culture and wanted to holcl a Western-style marriage. That is, in Mother Shens opinion, a ghastly white wedding dress.
Mother Shen certainly disagreed. In her upbringing, white was only worn for funerals. But right now, she was thinking of asking Father Ren for help, so she was afraicl of doing anything against Ren Fulings wishes, so she could only bite the bullet and agree.
After the wedding, she was left with nothing but dissatisfaction towarcls Ren Fuling.
And this dissatisfaction rose on the second day when Ren Fuling refused to stancl at her side to serve her meal as perthe usual rules.
The Shen family rules were strict. The rule of a daughter-in-law serving her mother-in-law had never changed, not only in their family but all the honorable families in Jin City had such rules. Of course, some mothers-in-law valued their daughters-in-law and exempted them from serving.
Its just that newly married daughters-in-law, in order to show respect, would still serve for the first few days, and the mothers-in-law would follow along a few times before exempting them.
Ren Fuling had been living abroad all this time, so how could she be willing to abide by the rules of the old feuclal society? After listening to Mother Shens words, she immediately said that this was a new society now, and they didnt have to abide by it.
Mother Shen was fuming half to death, but Shen Yunqing, the newlywed, also stood on Ren Fulings side. He then said the rules of the old society should have been abolished long ago.
As soon as the daughter-in-law entered the door, her sons heart was already biased. Mother Shen was so angered by these two that her liver felt pain.
She wasnt used to seeing Ren Fuling in a dress that exposed her arms. When Mother Shen told her that a womans body shoulclnt be seen by anyone other than her husband, she was instead blamed for having an old society s way of thinking.
She dicln t like Ren Fulings way of talking too loudly, and how she urged Shen Yunqing to go out to eat, see paintings, and fly kites every day, telling her that Shen Yunqing had to take care of Shen family now. Shen Yunqing was again brainwashed with some words and simply didnt take care of the family business.
She specially instructecl the kitchen to stew a pregnancy-nourishing soup for Ren Fuling to drink. She wanted to keep the grandson in her belly healthy but was rejectecl by Ren Fuling. She disliked that she might get fat after drinking the soup.
This wasnt marrying a claughter-in-law. This was simply bringing home an ancestor to serve, ah!
