Chapter 178 Shen Hao’s Rogue Behavior (1)
When Cheng Jinchu saw Shen Yuning coming at this time, she guessed that she had something to do, so she asked Yunzhi to help guard outside. In fact, she was not completely confident about the people in the yard.
After hearing this, Yunzhi took some snacks and a small stool and went out. She happily ate at the door while guarding against anyone approaching.
Shen Yuning watched Yun Zhi go out. She sat down on the stool in front of the table, looked at Cheng Jinchu with tears in her eyes, and spoke in a wronged tone.
&34;Sister~ I have a hard life! &34;
Shen Yuning was still that little crybaby. As she spoke, she hugged Cheng Jinchu and wailed. Cheng Jinchu pretended to be disgusted and pushed Shen Yuning away.
&34;Oh my, please behave yourself, why are you suffering? I think you are the only one living a good life in this big house now. &34;
Shen Yuning pouted and held Cheng Jinchu's waist tightly.
&34;Alas... you don't know, I don't even dare to go out recently, it's terrible! &34;
Shen Jin saw Shen Yuning's aggrieved look, touched her head and sighed. Who is the older sister?
Cheng Jinchu looked at Shen Yuning and was still a little worried. She sat next to Shen Yuning, silently poured her a cup of tea and slowly moved the cup in front of Shen Yuning.
When Shen Yuning saw the teacup being moved over, he didn't hesitate to say thank you and drank it all in one gulp.
&34;Talk about things!&34;
Cheng Jinchu sat opposite Shen Yuning. She rubbed her brows. She had just gone to bed this morning and it was past her rest time. Although she had slept for so many hours, she still felt very tired!
Shen Yuning looked at Cheng Jinchu's haggard appearance and couldn't help but express her concern.
"What's wrong? Did you have insomnia last night?"
"No, I had some things to deal with, so I didn't sleep all night. I made up for it today. Just tell me first, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yuning couldn't help but sigh when she heard the topic turned to herself again.
"I, to be honest, I don't know what sin I committed, really! The most unlucky thing in my life is having that father. I go out these days, and I don't know why, but I always run into him. Every time I run into him, he takes away all the money I have on me."
I don't believe in evil, so after he took my money away twice, I only took my personal maid with me when I went out, and when I took a carriage, I would quietly go out through the side door. Even so, I always met him. I trust my personal maid. I was just wondering who in the Shen Mansion always informed him in advance that I was going out. &34;
When Cheng Jinchu heard Shen Yuning's complaints, she did not immediately say anything to comfort her. Instead, she slowly poured herself a cup of tea, but did not drink it. She stroked the rim of the cup with her fingers and spoke casually.
"You don't have to worry about it. When you go out again in a few days, even if someone wants to say something to you, it will be useless!"
Shen Yuning didn't quite understand what he said and looked at Cheng Jinchu in confusion.
"What I mean is that the murderer who committed the crime yesterday has been arrested, and I believe that Qian will be thrown into jail soon. I have said before that if Qian wants to survive, she will naturally hold on to your father, because she thinks that the Shen family will not ignore your father, and in this way, they will definitely save her.
Now that your father is openly with Qian, he naturally dares not tell others that he was kicked out by the Shen family. But how could Qian miss the opportunity to ask your father for money and property at this time? The expenses will naturally be huge.
Your father had some money on him before, and when he left the Shen Mansion, he took a lot of property with him. My stepfather naturally knew about it, but I guess, out of brotherhood and wanting to give him a chance to survive, he didn't care.
Anyway, this is just a matter of turning a blind eye. I didn't expect that with so much money, it hasn't been long since he started to rob you. Even if you give him money, how much can you give him? He has no other choice! &34;
As Shen Yuning listened, she nodded in agreement. She was well aware of her father's character, and she also knew how love-sick he was. It was already in the late stages, and there was no need to save him. Although she despised it, but, after all, they were related by blood, so it was not good for her to just stand aside and watch the show.
&34;By the way, you may not know! &34;
Cheng Jinchu suddenly remembered and said this. Shen Yuning looked at her in confusion. Cheng Jinchu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly spoke.
"Do you remember Zhou's nephew? Zhou Xin!"
Shen Yuning nodded.
&34;Didn't Zhou Xin go back to his hometown?&34;
Cheng Jinchu shook his head and said, "Zhou Xin is still in the imperial capital and has not returned to his hometown. He is doing well. He found a restaurant and worked as a waiter. He is working very hard now."
That's...&34;
Cheng Jinchu kept the secret on purpose, and Shen Yuning took Cheng Jinchu's hand and acted coquettishly.
"That's it, what is it? Don't speak halfway. You know me. If you listen to half of what I say, will you let me sleep well tonight?"
Cheng Jinchu gently tapped Shen Yuning's forehead with his finger.
"You, what I want to say is that when your father ran out of money, he not only came to you, but also went to Zhou Xin to borrow money from time to time. The key point is that Zhou was under house arrest, so Zhou Xin didn't know that your father was kicked out of the house.
Your father told him that he had recently made my father angry, so he was keeping a tight rein on money, and when he recovered, he would return Zhou Xin three times the amount. The key point was that Zhou Xin actually believed it, and he pawned all the valuables on his body to collect 34 taels of silver to give to your father. &;
Having said that, Cheng Jinchu shook her head, looked sympathetic, sighed, and continued.
&34;Tsk tsk tsk... Zhou Xin is having a hard time now, living on one steamed bun a day, and yet he's dreaming of getting three times the money your father promised him in a month. How pitiful!
I really didn't expect your father to be that kind of person. I really don't know what kind of drug Qian gave him to make him lose all his dignity at such an old age! &34;
After hearing what Cheng Jinchu said, Shen Yuning was shocked. She took a deep breath, opened her eyes and mouth wide. She wanted to say something several times, but no sound came out. She really didn't expect it. Is Shen Hao crazy?
In fact, Cheng Jinchu had known for a long time that Shen Hao was asking Shen Yuning for money, but Shen Yuning's life was not threatened, so she wanted Shen Yuning to handle these small matters herself.
Cheng Jinchu knew that Shen Hao was not bad to Shen Yuning, so Shen Yuning went out on purpose. At first, she didn't know that Shen Hao had someone watching her, but Shen Yuning was not stupid. How could such a thing happen by such a coincidence every time?
Therefore, Cheng Jinchu did not guess Shen Yuning's little thoughts. She knew that Shen Yuning was fulfilling her filial piety on behalf of the original owner. After all, Shen Hao was the father of this body, so all Shen Yuning could do was to take out more silver each time.
Looking at Cheng Jinchu herself, Shen Yuning lowered her head in embarrassment. She didn't come here to complain about this matter today. She wanted to say that Shen Hao was having a hard time outside. She wanted to tell Cheng Jinchu first and let her see whether she should tell this to her grandmother. In this way, her grandmother would definitely feel sorry for her son and at least let Shen Hao have enough food to eat!
When Cheng Jinchu told her that her father not only took away a lot of silver when he left the house, but also asked Zhou Xin for one hundred taels of silver, and all this silver was squandered by Qian in a short period of time, Shen Yuning really felt that she was a big fool, still worrying about Shen Hao's life.
It was his fault that he had a bad life. Shen Yuning was so angry that she couldn't help crying.
Cheng Jinchu closed his eyes. Oh, this little crybaby is online. It has been a long time since he last saw this little crybaby. Cheng Jinchu was not used to it. After all, Shen Yuning has been fighting alone in this world for many years and she has long gotten rid of the habit of crying at every turn. However, when facing Cheng Jinchu, she felt wronged. Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell.
&34;Well, Shen Hao should be tortured so that he can understand that even if his family members look down on him, they will not harm him, and the woman he thought was a good person will only drag him to hell. I hope this will make him grow some brains! &34;
Cheng Jinchu looked at Shen Yuning crying and almost subconsciously looked for paper. After looking around, he found that Shen Yuning was holding a handkerchief in her hand. He quickly snatched it away and gently wiped Shen Yuning's tears, comforting her softly while wiping.
"Okay, I get it. I won't care about him anymore. I really don't understand what's so good about Qian that he would give up everything and choose her. If I were his grandmother and gave birth to such a son, I would definitely want to go back to the day he was born and strangle him to death. No, I would want to go back to the time when I was pregnant and give him a bowl of safflower!"
Cheng Jinchu smiled. She was amused by Shen Yuning's angry words. She tapped Shen Yuning's head gently and then returned the handkerchief to her.
"We'll see. I think we'll get a result in the next two days. If I'm right, after your father was arrested because of the Qian family, he might not only be dragged down by the Qian family incident."
Shen Yuning frowned and asked in confusion.
&34;What else?&34;
Cheng Jinchu was helpless. Didn’t she just say it? But he still explained patiently.
"I guess Zhou Xin will not let him go once he knows the truth. For your father, the matter of swindling 34 taels of silver is not a big deal, but it will be publicized. After all, Shen Hao is a member of the Shen family. If he loses his reputation, the Shen family will lose its reputation, and the consequence will definitely affect the Shen family's business."
Cheng Jinchu looked at the sky outside, she stood up, walked behind Shen Yuning, and patted Shen Yuning on the shoulder.
"Don't think too much. Let's go to the old lady's place after breakfast tomorrow. The problem can be easily solved."
Shen Yuning nodded and sighed.
"Well, I understand. I don't care what happens to him in the future. He brought this upon himself. Anyway, we cannot let the Shen family be affected by his affairs now."
Cheng Jinchu smiled, touched Shen Yuning's head comfortingly, and sent her out of the yard.
