On the way back, I warned Lou Shaotang a thousand times, using the reason that it would be unsuitable for him to announce his pregnancy within three months. I told him not to tell Lou Family about my pregnancy. He had never been superstitious, but this time he believed it. He promised to keep it a secret until the fetus was stable after three months.
Just as the carriage entered the main entrance of the Garden, they saw Shen Yiru's two servants standing at the entrance. Presumably, Shen Yiru had sent them here to welcome us.
Lou Shaotang stopped the car and let Liu Sao and I get off first. Two servants immediately walked up, and each of them carefully supported me.
As for Shen Yiru who was sitting on the other side, her expression was no longer that of pain and anxiety when she knew that Lou Shaotang was going to face a prison. She had a calm and collected expression, as if she was listening to some outsider's matter that had nothing to do with him.
other than Lou Shaotang, he did not care about anything else in the Lou Family. However, she had done his best on the surface, especially in front of the old gramps, hence the old gramps always thought that Shen Yiru was the most considerate of the three daughter-in-law.
Xu Manli, who was sitting opposite the old man on the sofa, acted as if it had nothing to do with him. She curled her fingers and casually stroked the beautiful piece of armor on her nails.
I laughed sarcastically to myself.
Because they had a common enemy, Lou Shaotang, and a common enemy, the two of them had allied together and united as one, pointing their guns at the same time towards the long room.
However, a few days ago, Qiao Chenfei's position in Lou Family had suddenly risen, and when he saw that there was hope of replacing Lou Shaotang as the "Heaven's Celebration" Sect Leader, Xia Peiyun proudly raised his tail to the sky, no longer putting Xu Manli in his eyes, as he started to use his nose to look at her. Xu Manli was naturally furious, and because of the jealousy from the long room to the second room, the two of them went from being "good sisters" to being dog biting and dog biting.
Now that Xia Peiyun's beautiful dream was not completed, but had become a nightmare, how could Xu Manli still clap her hands in displeasure?!
Seeing me enter, Shen Yiru's expression changed slightly. It was not the same unhappiness as before, but it was also not joy, and no one could tell what kind of emotions he was currently in. Then he looked at my stomach.
I subconsciously touched it, and suddenly realised that I couldn't let the Lou Family see any clues, so I immediately put it down.
Fortunately, the other people were focused on Qiao Chenfei and didn't notice this little trick of mine.
Just as I was about to move in, Lou Shaotang came in. Seeing that I was standing, he immediately pulled me by the hand and brought me to the sofa before sitting beside Shen Yiru.
The old man's grave face finally revealed a hint of a pleased smile when he saw Lou Shaotang, but he quickly calmed himself down and said to Lou Shaotang, "Shao Tang, about Chen Fei …" His aged voice was filled with exhaustion.
However, just as he started speaking, he was immediately cut off by Lou Shaotang's cold voice. "He deserves whatever he says, I can't help him."
"Bullshit!" Hearing Lou Shaotang talk about his son like that, Xia Peiyun stopped crying and jumped up from the sofa, "What do you mean you deserve it?" The woman holding the handkerchief pointed at Lou Shaotang's nose and her miserable crying appearance disappeared. Her body transformed into a slanted eyeball of a mother yaksha. I think you deserve to die! If Xiao Fei hadn't turned himself in, you would have been dead by now! who would sit here and take advantage of the situation, saying such sarcastic words! "
When Shen Yiru, who was better than Xia Peiyun, heard this, his face immediately drooped, and she sat up straight. It looked like she was going to return the favor to her, but after looking at the old man's frowning face, she immediately recovered her composure. She leisurely picked up the teacup on the table and blew on it, sipping on her tea, as if she did not hear Xia Peiyun's curses.
Lou Shaotang also treated it as a gust of wind blowing past without any reaction, without even a hint of disdain or contempt, and as indifferent as before.
"Peiyun." The old man stopped him with a dark expression.
Xia Peiyun did not dare be rash in front of the old man, she obediently shut her mouth, but her face was still filled with anger and unwillingness.
Xu Manli glanced at the furious Xia Peiyun, and the corners of her mouth raised higher, her eyes moved craftily, her gloating face turned into a grumble, "Peiyun, I am not talking to you, but your Chen Fei has been too ruthless this time. In order to bring down Shao Tang who harmed him, no one can blame the other party for refusing to help, who would save their enemy who had caused their own death?! "(Author:" Un, please stop him!
Her sharp voice carried a hint of rebuke, and her expression looked like she was crying for Lou Shaotang. However, she immediately changed her expression and sighed helplessly, "But then again," she turned to look at Lou Shaotang with a face full of persuasion, "Shao Tang, after all, Chen Fei is your cousin, the descendant of the Lou Family. Even if it's true that he went overboard, you can't really watch him go to prison, right? If you do not save him, those who do not know will think that you want to borrow a knife to kill, and take advantage of this to get rid of him. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at the old man and Xia Peiyun, and the corner of her mouth slightly hooked up as if she had succeeded.
I smirked. Did she treat everyone else as fools? Did she think that no one would be able to tell that she was trying to sow discord?
However, that mouth of hers was really cheap. If she didn't spew feces for a day, she would probably end up soaking in it.
At this time, I thought that Shen Yiru must be very angry, so she turned and looked at her.
As I expected, a flash of annoyance passed through her eyes, and then it faded, as if her emotions were completely unaffected by the provocation. If I didn't know her well, I would have thought it was my imagination.
Her heart could not help but sigh. As expected of Shen Yiru, for her to be able to go as far as spitting in front of her, yet remain calm and doing nothing, among the three women, other than her, there was not a second person.
Even I'm not as good as you.
If it were not for the fact that I do not have the qualifications and should not speak up, I would have gone after Xu Manli long ago. How dare you frame Lou Shaotang in such a manner, I am truly infuriated.
However, I am secretly angry, while Lou Shaotang, who is a hundred percent inherited Shen Yiru's calm personality and belly, is the same as Shen Yiru. She has a kind of pointless attitude that doesn't give a damn no matter how you choose.
His anger was instantly replaced by laughter. I secretly lamented, if this mother and son pair could not become the winners of the rich and powerful house fights, it would simply be a matter that god would not tolerate and anger everyone!
They thought that everyone was a smart person and knew that Xu Manli was instigating them.
"That's right, Dad. Look, they are the happiest ones in Xiao Fei's accident." Xia Peiyun started crying again, as her accusatory gaze turned towards us, "They couldn't wait for Xiao Fei to go to jail, so how could they help! To count on them, isn't that the same as letting a mouse look at a rice barn?! "
"What are you saying!"
Hearing her words, the old man immediately scolded, but when he looked at Lou Shaotang, his eyes clearly revealed that he thought the same.
Xia Peiyun was agitated and couldn't care less whether the old man was angry or not. She started crying more and more, and shook her head with great difficulty, "Xiao Fei can't be hurt, she can't be hurt.
I, who was originally in a tranquil mood, couldn't help but feel sad after hearing her cry like this.
Qiao Chenfei turned himself in because he wanted my child to see his father once he was born. No matter how wrong he was in Lou Shaotang's heart, it's indeed unforgivable.
Thinking of this, my gaze unconsciously shifted to Yvonne's bulging stomach. I couldn't bear it anymore, I turned to look at Lou Shaotang, "Hubby."
Although she only called out to him lightly, Lou Shaotang already knew what I was thinking with a glance. Take my hand and squeeze it reassuringly.
Just as I was about to persuade him, the old man cleared his throat and said to Lou Shaotang: "Shao Tang, although Chen Fei made a mistake, and you were almost implicated, no matter what, this matter is related to 'Tianyue', once he is convicted, 'Tianyue' will be finished."
It was a fact that the old Gramps wasn't speaking in such a serious manner just for Lou Shaotang to save Qiao Chenfei. Regardless of whether it was the previous Lou Shaotang or the current Qiao Chenfei, their personal lives and death were tightly bound together with the existence of 'Tianyue'.
They were innocent, the "heavenly" were innocent; they were guilty, and as the most responsible of the subjects, the "heavenly" would be punished with a fine, they would be punished with administrative punishment, their reputation would be ruined, and their foundations, which had been painstakingly built up for several generations, would be destroyed.
The old man would never allow himself to be a sinner who destroyed his ancestors. No one in Lou Family could afford such a sin.
"Yeah, Shao Tang, your grandfather is right." Shen Yiru who had been silent all this while suddenly spoke, speaking to Lou Shaotang with a serious tone: "Although Chen Fei ignored the benefits of 'Tian Yue' and did evil deeds, you can't just stand by and do nothing. You are the eldest grandson of the Lou Family, the CEO of 'Tianyue'. Whether the Lou Family can continue to prosper, whether 'Tianyue' can develop and flourish for a long time, it all depends on you. "
Even though Shen Yiru's persuasion was helping Qiao Chenfei escape from his predicament, every single word of his was clearly showing how terrible he was. In contrast to Lou Shaotang's calmness, it was also making it clear to the old man and everyone in the Lou Family that only Lou Shaotang had the ability to control the Lou Family and the "Tianyue".
High! It was really high!
I looked towards Xia Peiyun, her expression extremely ugly, but now she had no other requests, all she wanted was for Qiao Chenfei to be safe, so no matter how angry she was, she could only endure it and follow Shen Yiru's footsteps.
I felt a glare of resentment coming from the side, and I knew it was Yvonne. I didn't look at her, but turned my gaze to the old man.
The old man looked at Lou Shaotang with a heavy gaze. Although his face was calm, the anticipation in his eyes could not be hidden.
Lou Shaotang locked eyes with him, and the indifferent expression on his face did not change at all, "I will not sit idly by and watch 'Tianyue's' matter."
His cold voice did not change, but his manner changed. Although he didn't say that he would help Qiao Chenfei, the meaning in his words was very clear.
The tense expression on the old man's face loosened, and a slight smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded in approval, "I am relieved that you can say this."
After all, the old man knew his age. No matter how he once called the market down, he no longer held power and only held fame. Only Lou Shaotang and Qiao Chenfei were able to support the entire Lou Clan through their two grandsons. As for Qiao Chenfei, who was trapped in a perfect situation, only Lou Shaotang was left.
The big rock in his heart fell to the ground. The old man's mood relaxed a lot as he picked up the walking stick beside the sofa. The butler by his side immediately helped him up.
Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Xia Peiyun, who was still wiping her tears, became anxious, "Then, then what about Xiao Fei?" This pig-brain actually didn't hear what Lou Shaotang meant, and asked the old man, "Dad, you can't just focus on 'Tianyue', don't care about Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei is your grandson too, you can't just watch him die! " As she spoke, her tears fell again.
"Enough, stop crying." The old man was annoyed by her crying, he looked slightly impatient, "Chen Fei will be fine." He said to us, "Go up and rest. It's getting late."
No one dared to disobey the old man. Once he left, everyone got up and went upstairs.
Shen Yiru followed behind us and entered the room. After closing the door, she immediately asked: "Shao Tang, are you really going to help Second Brother?"
