Chen Shengda held his stepson and turned around to see his father. He hadn't seen his father for more than a year. His father looked very old, with almost all his hair gray and his body hunched. He was no longer the high-spirited and energetic manager Chen.

Chen Shengda held his son in his arms and walked a few steps before kneeling on one knee: "Dad, I am an unfilial son... After passing the imperial examination, I knew that being the number one scholar was not that great, and our family is too insignificant in the capital.

By chance, my son married a woman named Pan in the capital. This is my son’s stepson Chen Wentong, and he is also your grandson! "

The old man really guessed it right. He took a few steps back and almost vomited blood. His heart was filled with anger. His son passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, but he married a widow with a little burden. This was true!

On his way here, Mr. Chen often asked passers-by about the situation of the top scholar in the capital. He heard several times that the top scholar married the daughter of Minister Pan, a widow with a boy. He didn't believe it at first, but now that he saw his son holding this boy, it was confirmed!

The old woman of the Chen family screamed and rushed out of the house. When she saw her eldest son holding a little boy, she was so angry that she fainted...

In an instant, the side yard was in chaos. Chen Shengda was kneeling there stupidly, holding his son, not knowing what was going on.

Chen Laoer and Chen Laosan carried my mother back into the house, and the room was immediately filled with screams and howling.

Soon, the angry Chen Lao Er rushed out and said, "Brother, let me ask you now, will you take care of us when our family comes?

You emptied the family's wealth, and now you marry a widow and have a son. What do you want?"

Chen Shengda stood up holding his son and looked at his second brother. He had always looked down on his two younger brothers, but due to his status as a scholar, he could not be the same as his two younger brothers. Now his younger brother scolded and questioned him, and he could not bear it anymore.

"Second brother, where are your manners? How can you speak to your elder brother like this? Now your elder brother is no longer your elder brother. Now your elder brother is an official appointed by the court. How can you speak to me like this?"

Chen Lao Er was almost so angry that he almost fainted. He looked at his eldest brother and shook his head: "Brother, even if you passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court, are you no longer a member of the Chen family? Am I not your brother? Am I not the son of my parents?

You divorced your sister-in-law and Ruyi. It would be fine if you really married a lady from an official family in the capital, but you married a widow! And you brought a burden with you. How can you make us feel embarrassed?"

Chen Shengda looked unhappy: "This is not something a farmer like you should say. You have no right to question your brother."

The old man said coldly: "I am your father, so I am qualified to question you, right? Good! I can see that Shengda, you have read so many books that you have no idea what you are talking about. Now our family can't live with you anymore. I can see that your wife, Mrs. Pan, is not virtuous at all!

As for now, you just need to return the money you earned from selling the grain in the big granary, and we will take our second and third sons back to our hometown to farm!

Whether you are laughed at or ridiculed, we, the Chen family, will no longer bother you, the top scholar."

Chen Shengda looked at his old father in disbelief: "Dad, I sold the grain in the big granary you mentioned? When did I sell it? I am a weak scholar who can't even carry a bag of grain. How did I sell all that grain?"

The Chen family members stared at each other in astonishment, none of them could face this outcome. Old Master Chen looked at his eldest son stupidly and said, "It really wasn't you who did it? Damn! It must have been that bitch Shen. She must have stolen the food from our family!"

Chen Shengda was confused: "How could Shen steal food? She is a woman and has never been to the granary. How could she steal food? Second brother, third brother, are you dead?

The grain in the big granary at home was lost, didn't you two know anything about it?"

Chen Lao Er and Chen Lao San felt like they were being treated as fools. Chen Lao San said in disbelief, "Brother, the big grain warehouse is right below your study. You have been studying in that study for so many years and have never left there. When have we ever been there? Except for delivering grains, we don't even have the key on weekdays!"

Chen Lao Er: "Brother, do you know that after Shen divorced you, she took her child back to Shenjia Village. When a high-ranking official from the imperial court came to repair the dam, Shen took her child and hooked up with the high-ranking official who was repairing the dam."

Old Master Chen went on to say: "Shen also donated more than one million kilograms of grain and countless meats and vegetables, which is a lot of money!

She donated them all to the court. The high-ranking officials of the court wrote to His Majesty, and His Majesty conferred the title of Princess Fulu on Shen. Our family became the biggest joke in Jun'an County!

Otherwise, how could our family be unable to accommodate in Jun'an County? People say that we lost a watermelon and picked up a sesame seed! "

Chen Lao Er couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "Brother, you didn't know the day when the imperial edict came down to confer the title of Fulu County Lady. Ha! That day, our family was very lively. Many kind-hearted people came running to our family. Anyway, they all came to bring us a heartbreaking news. That is, Shen was conferred the title of Fulu County Lady by His Majesty for her contribution in donating grain, and the position of Fulu County Lady was hereditary!

Fulu Mountain outside the capital is the fief of Fulu County Lady, and it will belong to Fulu County Lady from generation to generation!"

Chen Shengda...

His legs were weak to begin with, and he couldn't even hold his son. He swayed twice and almost dropped his son to the ground. After Chen Wentong struggled to get down, he instinctively ran out to complain to his mother!

No one in this group of people likes him, only his father holds him, otherwise these people would probably eat him!

Chen Shengda felt like he was struck by lightning. Although he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he had to kowtow in the capital and married a widow with a burden. Now, he had to calculate every day in the Ministry of Revenue for a little profit, and he had to pay his wife's money to climb up the ladder. Mrs. Pan at home also drained his body every day...

As a result, the divorced Shen was now conferred the title of county princess, and it is a hereditary title of county princess. Isn't all my efforts here in vain?

Chen Shengda's voice was a little hoarse: "Are you sure that our family's food... was donated by Shen's?

This bitch divorced me, but she still dared to donate our family's food. I will not forgive her for this!"

Chen Lao Er sneered: "Brother, who can you not forgive? She is now the Princess of Fulu County!

Did she donate our grain? Do we have one million catties of grain? My father has carefully calculated the grain storage in our house and found that there are only 300,000 or 400,000 catties of grain at most. Where did the one million catties of grain come from?

Where do you get so much meat, vegetables and food? Ha! Shen has been with you for so many years, but she still has something on her mind?"

Old Master Chen said quietly, "Shengda, you are a fool! She has such a huge fortune, but she didn't give it to our family. She only donated it after divorcing you. What does this mean? This shows that she has been on guard against you and our family for a long time!"

Chen Shengda's legs shook and he fell to the ground. Thinking of his long-cherished wife, he felt guilty since he married Pan Qiaoyun and felt sorry for Shen's mother and daughter!

He thought that after working hard for a few years to climb up and gaining power, he would send someone home to bring Shen's mother and daughter back. Since he couldn't bring them back home, he would keep them outside. He would be able to support them for the rest of their lives.

Now it seems that I have been completely deceived by that bitch. I had so much money and property, but I didn't donate it earlier, so that I could get a high position and generous salary. Now I have become a county lady, and I have occupied the blessed land of Fulushan with my daughter!

What is Fulu Mountain? It is just across the wall from the royal hunting grounds, and has thousands of acres of fertile fields and abundant products.

It used to be the fief of the nobles of the previous dynasty and had always been owned by the Qin royal family. But now it was given to Shen and her daughter Ruyi!

"Shen has gone too far! I will not forgive her for this. I will make her lose all her reputation and everything!"
