Shen Qingshan stared at the split table in front of him and suddenly recalled Shen Haiyan's naughty nature. If he continued talking, the whole study might not be spared.
Even though there were countless words lingering in his mind, Shen Qingshan had to force them down. He forced a smile and said, "It's okay. It's just a decoration. You didn't do it on purpose."
Shen Haiyan was very touched. He lowered his head and patted Shen Baozhu. "Baozhu, did you see that? Grandfather is so kind to us. When grandfather is bedridden and can't even speak, third brother will definitely take good care of him."
Shen Baozhu repeated after Shen Haiyan, "Don't worry, third brother. When grandfather is bedridden and can't even speak, Baozhu will also take good care of grandfather."
Hearing them mention being bedridden and unable to speak one after another, Shen Qingshan's smile became even more forced.
"Grandfather, what do you think of my proposal just now? How about you think about it again?" While asking Shen Qingshan to think again, Shen Haiyan reached out to take something from the bookshelf.
Seeing Shen Haiyan's action, Shen Qingshan's eyelids twitched violently, but he was very cautious. "Forget it. It's better to avoid trouble."
Shen Haiyan stopped his action and hugged Shen Baozhu, crying, "Wuwuwu, Baozhu, my dear younger sister. Our lives are so hard. You've been bullied like this, but no one will stand up for you. I used to think grandfather was better than grandfather on mother's side. Now it seems mother was right. Grandfather on mother's side loves us more!"
"Don't cry, third brother. If grandfather won't help, we'll go to grandfather on mother's side. He will definitely help. He loves Baozhu the most!" Although Shen Baozhu hadn't spent much time with her grandfather on her mother's side, she was very confident.
Hearing Shen Haiyan comparing him with General Mu, Shen Qingshan frowned even tighter. He looked down on people with only brute force the most, but his own grandson and granddaughter said he was not as good as that brainless man. He repeated Shen Haiyan's words in his mind twice and asked, "Alright, alright. I'll help you."
"However, you have to tell grandfather the truth. What's your plan for making the third prince practice martial arts?"
Shen Haiyan said casually with a smile, "What plan can I have? I just want the third prince to practice martial arts and be tortured. Practicing martial arts is a tough job. It will surely make the third prince cry. This can also avenge Baozhu."
Seeing that Shen Qingshan still doubted him, Shen Haiyan simply made it clear. "I lied to you before. Baozhu wasn't scared at all. When I got home, she was still playing with others."
Shen Qingshan looked at Shen Baozhu and examined her carefully. He found that it was really as Shen Haiyan said. Shen Baozhu's eyes were just red and her dress was dirty, but she was in good spirits.
The matter was settled, and he also took a inkstone on the way. Shen Haiyan was in a good mood and pulled Shen Baozhu back.
Suddenly, Shen Qingshan called out to him, "Haiyan, you said last time that the Xu family was favored by the emperor. But why did the emperor issue an order to punish the Xu family just a few days later?"
Shen Haiyan looked innocent. "Really? I don't know. But I heard that the daughter of the Xu family was recognized as the granddaughter of the Sima family. Maybe Prime Minister Sima was one step ahead of you, grandfather, and brought down the Xu family through the daughter of the Xu family."
"Hey, speaking of this, I have to say something to you, grandfather. You're too slow. I managed to get information from Yan Mingli. I was in such a hurry to bring him to tell you, but what about you? You were even slower than that old scoundrel Sima!"
Shen Haiyan looked heart - broken. Shen Qingshan was also angry. He went to see Xu Zeyuan as soon as he got the news, but he was still one step too late.
That old scoundrel Sima was really good at his tricks!
"Don't worry, grandfather. When I get on better terms with Yan Mingli, I'll threaten him to go to his father's study and find some useful information for you." Shen Haiyan said it so sincerely as if he really would do it.
Shen Qingshan looked at him, and his anger temporarily subsided. Although Haiyan was not very sensible, he was on his side and on the side of the Shen family after all. There was no need to care too much.
He waved his hand. Just as he was about to tell Shen Haiyan to leave immediately, he remembered another thing. "Why didn't you report when you came in?"
Shen Qingshan didn't mean when Shen Haiyan entered the study, but when he entered the Shen Mansion.
He clearly told the servants at the door to recognize Shen Haiyan. As soon as they saw Shen Haiyan coming in, they should report immediately. How did Shen Haiyan come in quietly today?
Shen Haiyan touched his nose and pretended to be guilty. "I played the victim in front of the second aunt. Grandfather, I'll go back first. Remember to tell me when father comes back."
After saying that, he took Shen Baozhu and left the Shen Mansion through the back door.
The Dragon King, who had witnessed the whole process, was amazed. [Shen Haiyan is so powerful.]
Lin Yu was also exclaiming. [He achieved his goal, took the inkstone, broke the decoration, and even made Baozhu's grandfather think he was on the side of the Shen family.]
The Dragon King: [It's hard to believe that Shen Heqing and Shen Haiyan are brothers. The difference is too big.]
Lin Yu: [Shen Heqing is fully devoted to his studies. He really trusted Shen Yunfeng before, which led to that joke.]
Lin Yu: [He taught Miao Chun to read and made her self - reliant. It can also be seen that Shen Heqing is not stupid.]
Shen Haiyan took Shen Baozhu out of the back door of the Shen family. They walked a long way. After making sure no one was following them, he raised his hand. "It hurts so much. Baozhu, come and take a look at third brother's hand quickly."
"That old man won't admit defeat until he sees the coffin. He just had to argue with me and forced me to slap the table."
Shen Baozhu hugged Shen Haiyan's hand and looked at his red palm. She felt very sad. "Third brother's hand hurts. Don't slap the table next time. Baozhu feels sad. Huhu."
Shen Haiyan pinched Shen Baozhu's little face with his other intact hand. "As long as you, this little girl, remember third brother's kindness, it's worth it."
"Third brother will tell you a secret. Do you want to know how I split the table?"
"Because third brother is amazing!" Shen Baozhu blurted out this answer without thinking, but was slapped on the head by Shen Haiyan.
Shen Haiyan pinched Shen Baozhu's nose. "No matter how amazing I am, I'm still made of flesh and blood. How could I split the table? I bribed the servant in charge of shopping in grandfather's yard."
"That servant embezzled money. The table was originally a defective product. I helped him solve a big problem. He should even be grateful to me."
Immortal Qingyun: [Shen Heqing is really smart, but he's much worse than Shen Haiyan.]
Lin Yu: [Baozhu's third brother is so afraid of pain. It must have hurt even more when his hands and feet were broken.]
The Dragon King: [Thinking about it this way, Shen Haiyan is so pitiful. Did he endure the pain all the time when he saw Baozhu?]
Lin Yu: [Shen Yunfeng is really sinful!]
With Shen Baozhu's blowing, Shen Haiyan felt his hand was much better. He planned to send Shen Baozhu back to the princess mansion and then go to the military camp outside the city.
Sensing Shen Haiyan's intention, Shen Baozhu hugged third brother tightly. "No. Third brother is injured. You're not allowed to run around!"
Shen Baozhu clung to him tightly. No matter how Shen Haiyan persuaded her, she insisted on going with him.
Shen Haiyan had no choice but to buy a small black cloak for Shen Baozhu and take her to the military camp with him.
The Dragon King: [It's the same as the treasure - seeking mouse's!]
In the princess mansion, the fourth prince stubbornly stood in the main hall, looking at the door and waiting for Shen Baozhu to come back.
Beside him stood Yan Mingli, who felt guilty.
Yan Mingli prayed in his heart that Shen Haiyan would bring Baozhu back quickly. If she didn't come back, the fourth prince would turn into a stone statue waiting for Baozhu!
