Chapter 231 Disappointment
Qin Xuerong was very angry at Lou Yuchen's words. Her chest heaved violently and her eyes were red.
Seeing that her sister was dissatisfied, Qin Guiqiong slapped her son on the back.
"Are you confused? How can you give something like this to Lin Ge'er? Don't you know how old he is?"
Lou Yuchen was a little unconvinced. Originally, he was unwilling to accept his mother's request for him to please a smooth-talking boy, and now he naturally felt even more aggrieved.
He couldn't help but say, "There are so many people in the capital who like cricket fighting, including princes and nobles, but I've never seen anyone cause such a big incident. Just play as big as you can. Besides, as the saying goes, a little gambling brings joy."
"Shut up!" Qin Guiqiong subconsciously glanced in the direction of Qin Xuerong and scolded again.
Old Madam Qin thought that she had caught the clue and could at least put half of the blame on Shen Shuyi.
But she didn't expect that this young girl was so capable, and this matter actually involved her family!
He is also his grandson, which makes his previous accountability seem particularly ridiculous!
Qin Xuerong suppressed her anger and said in a cold voice: "Chen'er, your aunt has always treated you well. What on earth are you thinking of collecting this kind of thing to give to Lin'er!"
Qin Guiqiong's expression was also a little unnatural. After all, there was nothing wrong with her scolding her own son. But in front of so many people, Qin Xuerong scolded her son like this, and Qin Guiqiong felt somewhat unhappy.
But she knew that her family would have to rely on this sister in the future, so she slapped Lou Yuchen on the back again: "You bastard! Why don't you apologize to your aunt!"
Qin Xuerong said coldly: "Forget it, I can't bear it!"
Qin Xuerong knew in her heart that this matter was not that simple, but in the current situation, she could not control her emotions at all.
What's more, she couldn't find any handle on Shen Shuyi, so she was so angry that she had no place to vent!
"Enough! You are the one who failed to manage the household well and to govern your subordinates strictly. You can't blame others!" Old Lady Shen looked at Qin Xuerong who was kneeling on the ground and spoke angrily.
"You have doted on Lin Ge'er over the years, which is why he has become so spoiled. This is an indisputable fact! Now it's just that old problems have erupted at once, and you actually want to shirk responsibility and blame others!"
Old Madam Shen was really angry. How could she be happy when so many incidents and jokes happened on her birthday, making herself and her son the target of public criticism!
Qin Xuerong knelt on the ground, with her head down and eyes full of grievance.
But at this moment, she couldn't say a word to excuse herself. After all, it was her child's fault.
Shen Jingyu couldn't help but say, "Grandma, even if mother has made a thousand mistakes, she has worked hard. Although my sixth brother is a little naughty, it's not too late to make amends. As long as we teach him carefully in the future, it's better than causing bigger trouble in the future."
"And Jingyu believes that every failure is a learning experience. After this incident, Lin Ge'er will definitely realize his mistakes and turn over a new leaf."
Madam Qin also said: "Sister Yu is right. The most urgent thing now is to pay off these debts first and discipline Brother Lin strictly in the future."
Shen Jingchuan looked at Qin Xuerong who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If you feel that being the head of the family is hard and you are too busy to manage it, then hand over the power of the head of the family to mother and your younger brother and sister-in-law to manage it!"
"It's better than having a few children who are raised astray by you, causing trouble for the whole family in the future, and they won't even know how they died!"
When Shen Jingchuan said this, he had to say that he was disappointed.
If possible, he would naturally hope that his wife would be in charge of the household chores instead of tiring his elderly mother, or even giving power to his younger brother.
But his disappointment was also real. People like Shen Jingzhen and Shen Jinglin would sooner or later bring disaster to the whole family.
If this is the case, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to distribute power. After all, as the head of the family, he cannot be so short-sighted.
"master!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuerong's tears welled up in her eyes and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, the man for whom she had given everything.
Just because of these, he is going to take away her power as the head of the family?
I would rather have a cheaper second bedroom!
What was all her efforts for him over the years? How could he easily deny everything he had done?
Shen Jing'an also spoke up at the moment: "Father, this is really disheartening. Mother has been filial to grandmother, raising children, and managing the household for many years. Even if she made a mistake, you should give her a chance instead of humiliating her like this!"
Seeing Shen Jing'an kneeling down to beg for mercy, Shen Jingyu also knelt down and choked up, "Dad, others may not know, but don't you know? Mother is sincere to you and has given so much over the years. Are you really so...uncaring?"
Qin Xuerong also reacted quickly and cried even harder: "Master, I know that I am old and useless now. It is reasonable for you to despise me and look down on me, but I have devoted myself to the mansion and the children over the years. Although there are shortcomings, I absolutely have no selfish motives!"
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi's eyes turned deep, and he felt that Qin Xuerong was quite smart.
This sentence directly put Shen Jingchuan on the moral high ground. If he really deprived Qin Xuerong of her right to be the head of the family, it would seem to confirm what she said. It was because she was old and useless that he did this, which was like abandoning his wife.
In fact, Zhang Jinping didn't want to miss this opportunity. After all, Qin Xuerong had been bullying her for years, and it was rare for her to be so miserable now.
But her husband does not have as much say as Shen Jingchuan, and if she appears too anxious, it may backfire.
Zhang Jinping hesitated several times and finally did not speak.
Fortunately, Shen Jingchuan was not fooled. He lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Xuerong, and said in a deep voice: "You disappoint me so much. There are many affairs in the mansion recently, and most of them are handled by my sister-in-law and Sister Yi. Sister Yi even reminded you to keep an eye on Brother Lin, but what did you do?"
Qin Xuerong was really in a state of grievance at the moment. She had been thinking about how to deal with Shen Shuyi these days and never thought that Shen Jinglin was targeted first.
Now, not only did all his tricks not work at all, but some of them couldn't even be used because he was beaten by that bastard Shen Shuyi and was unable to fight back.
"My dear son-in-law, what you said is right, but Lin'er's personality is not formed overnight... Even if Xuerong is wrong, a grown-up son should avoid his mother. Lin'er is so old, how can Xuerong keep him by her side everywhere?" Old Madam Qin spoke slowly.
What she meant was that the child is not Qin Xuerong's alone. You spoil her, and Old Lady Shen also pampers her. Even if my daughter is wrong, how can you be innocent?
