Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Lu ordered someone to report to the authorities, but the servant was stopped by Xuanyuan Yan's men as soon as he stepped out of the gate. After learning the whole story, Xuan Si, who was always taciturn, couldn't help but sneer.

Bai Er was even more merciless, saying that Shangguan Zheng and his wife were brainless. He even threw the servant back to the mansion.

Later, when he saw Nan Rongyuanzhi coming out alone with a medicine box, with a look of disgust on his face, Xuanyuan Yan could no longer sit still.

He walked into the yard with a cane and swiftly, and Fu Qiuyang followed closely behind him.

The old lady had only seen Xuanyuan Yan from a distance a few times at palace banquets, and her impression of him was that he was a handsome young man with extraordinary bearing.

But now, although her appearance is still stunning, she looks a little disheveled because of her leg injury.

Although the old lady had many doubts in her heart, she could only suppress them temporarily at this moment and bowed respectfully with the help of the maid.

Xuanyuan Yan quickly waved his hand.

“Old Madam and everyone else, there’s no need to be so polite. I happened to hear about Old Master Shangguan’s stroke, so I came to see him.

Although Uncle Gong was invited by this prince, he always keeps his word. Since he has refused to come to the mansion again, old lady, please don't force him. "

His words were very impolite, and the old lady's face turned ugly after hearing them. But due to the other party's status, she could only hold back.

She took out a handkerchief, wiped her eyes, lowered her posture and said:

"It turned out that I had misunderstood. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Third Prince."

Although she said this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Shangguan Chong was full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

Xuanyuan Yan saw this scene clearly, and he couldn't help but frown. After all, this was the Shangguan family's family affair, and it was difficult for him to interfere.

At this moment, Shangguan Zheng suddenly came out from the corner and said:

"If I remember correctly, isn't Qingyue's country girl a disciple of the Nanrong Divine Doctor? Let her beg, and the Divine Doctor will surely agree.

Let Qingyue take care of this matter. I believe you can do it."

"Uncle, you are so easy to talk. It's obvious that you and Aunt have offended Dr. Nanrong, but you let us, the eldest wife, clean up the mess.

You said it so easily, but your niece can't help but ask: Why? Why do you think your niece can do it so easily? "

Shangguan Qingyue stood straight with a cold face and asked in a cold voice.

Shangguan Zheng immediately became furious and walked towards her, but after taking two steps, Xuanyuan Yan stopped him. The brothers Shangguan Song and Shangguan Lan even blocked their younger sister behind them.

Seeing this, the old man wanted to get angry, but then he remembered the warning given by the miracle doctor before he left, so he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:

"Second brother, you... really disappoint me! What, do you... still want to bully... your own niece? You have brought shame to our Shangguan family!"

The old lady looked at the old man in disbelief.

"Old man, are you sick and confused? Everything our Zheng'er said makes sense. How on earth did he fail to meet your expectations? How dare you speak so harshly?!"

The old man's hands were shaking, and after a long while he scolded his wife:

"You...are the one who is getting more confused as you get older! The second child was spoiled by you and me...! Now he has become a...waste of money!"

He bit the word "waste" so hard that he almost uttered it through his teeth. When Shangguan Zheng heard these two words, it was as if thunder had exploded above his head, and his eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Father! What are you talking about? In your eyes, I am a waste?!"

He staggered backwards, his lower back hit the corner of the table and he fell to the ground in severe pain.

But the pain in his body was far less severe than the pain caused by the word "waste". He just lay on the ground with his eyes dull and unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing this, Lu fell to the ground in horror and cried out:

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Seeing that Shangguan Zheng still had no reaction, she was filled with grief and anger. She turned around and yelled at the old man:

"Father, why do you want to humiliate my husband like this? Why is he inferior to my elder brother? You don't care about the father-son relationship at all and belittle him to the dust?!

If anything happens to my husband, how will the three of us live in the future?!"

She prostrated herself on the ground, her whole body shaking with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The old lady was so angry that she jumped up and down, knocking her cane on the bluestone floor.

"What a sin! You old fool, you blame your own incompetence on your children and grandchildren. Since you look down on my Zheng'er, then just go with your good son!"

Still not satisfied, she looked at Shangguan Chong fiercely and cursed:

"It's all because of you, this unfilial son, that our family is in turmoil! Get out of here, get out as far as you can, and never show up in front of us again!"

The scene fell into chaos and noise.

Xuanyuan Yan just watched coldly the whole time. He wanted to see if there was anyone who understood the situation in this huge Shangguan family!

The old man was filled with sorrow. Although his speech was a little slurred at this moment, his mind was clearer than ever before.

He motioned to the maid beside him to bring him a cup of tea. After slowly drinking the tea in the cup with some effort, he smashed it to the ground with all his strength.

The crisp sound of porcelain breaking shook people's hearts. Everyone kept quiet and the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Boss, let me ask you a question, are you still willing to take in a useless old man like me?"

Shangguan Chong was startled and immediately replied:

"Father, what are you talking about? It is only natural for a son to respect you. How can you call it taking you in? Your son will be ashamed if you say that!"

He lifted his skirt, knelt down in front of the old man's bed, held his dry hands tightly and said solemnly:

"You have worked hard for the Shangguan family for most of your life, how could it be useless? Take good care of your health and don't say such things again."

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, and saliva flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably again. Shangguan Chong didn't mind at all, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him carefully.

The old man nodded and said "OK" three times. He looked at Xuanyuan Yan and said:

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself today. I, an old man, would like to ask you to be a witness.

From today on, I will live with my eldest son. The Shangguan family will be completely divided into two. From now on, each of us will take care of our own family and have no connection with each other."

This statement shocked everyone present. Xuanyuan Yan raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Old man, what do you mean by this?"

The old man smiled bitterly and explained:

"My eldest son is kind and gentle by nature, and doesn't like to compete with others for profit, but people like him... are most likely to be bullied.

Other things are easy to deal with, but if I die one day, I, as an old man, don’t know how I, as a foolish old wife, will use filial piety to torture him. If that day comes, please help him.”

The old lady was so angry that she saw stars and was on the verge of collapse. She no longer cared about her status and image, threw the cane aside and sat on the ground.

"You old man actually called me stupid, how good are you?

Fine, fine, you follow your good son and get out of the house immediately, and we will never have anything to do with each other again!"

"Since you two have reached an agreement, I will be a witness reluctantly. Please write down your words as evidence and I will also put my private seal on it. From now on, this matter will be set in stone and no one will be able to find fault with it."

Seeing how efficiently he handled it, the old lady felt a little regretful. However, it was too late to back down. Even though she was reluctant, she could only let things continue to develop.

The old man's depression was mostly gone, and he became more energetic. He immediately ordered his personal servants to start packing his luggage.

At first the old lady was still worried about the family property, but she never expected that the old man didn't want a penny and was left with nothing.

He only took away two servants who had served him all year round and the items he used in his daily life, and then left the house in the sedan chair without any reluctance.

The old lady stared at the empty yard for a long time, unable to come back to her senses, and murmured:

"This family is broken up just like that?"

Shangguan Qingwan appeared out of nowhere, holding her ignorant brother's hand. She tugged at Shangguan Zheng's sleeve and asked worriedly:

"Father, my grandfather has passed away with my uncle. Can you still be the patriarch of our Shangguan family? Can you... still get promoted?"

Although the little girl was young and ignorant, she still felt that her grandfather's departure was not a good thing. Mrs. Lu always kept repeating these two things in her ears, so she asked with great concern.

Shangguan Zheng's face was terribly gloomy. His daughter's words had hit a sore spot for him. In humiliation and anger, he suddenly pushed the person away:

"Get lost! You have no right to interfere in the affairs of adults!"
