Chapter 61 Stupid and naive
My uncle shouted fiercely, and the whole room was frightened, and his face showed a frightened look.
But Yan Shaobai looked calm and said calmly, "Uncle is really wronged. Shaobai thinks that he has a clear conscience. How can he be sorry for his ancestors?"
"You have a happy event during your filial piety period. Should I say that you forgot that Su Yue was good to you, or should I say that you didn't pay attention to the whole clan? Before Su Yue's bones were cold, you were anxious to marry the bride into the door. You broke the Chen clan's rules. Not only did you not repent, but you also said that I had wronged you. Are you not convinced?
According to the law of this dynasty, if the wife dies, the husband does not abide by it, that is, the wife of the family dies, and the husband does not have to observe filial piety. Of course, if he wants to keep filial piety for his deceased wife, no one will say anything.
Yan Shaobai is a bride in Chen's house. According to the etiquette system, he abides by the rules of the Chen clan, and Chen Suyue does not need to have his surname. There is no rigid saying in the Chen clan that he should keep filial piety for his deceased wife. Only more than 20 years ago, the Chen family set a precedent. The owner of his wife died, and the adopted uncle had to keep filial piety for a year. After that, he died of old age, illness and death, and marriage and remarriage had nothing to do with each other. And in the following years, most of the men who became in law abided by this unwritten clan rule.
At this time, my uncle said that Yan Shaobai was not wronged.
Lin Huazhi beside her listened to her uncle's words, but frowned. Originally, she wanted the uncle's guild to talk about the family property. Unexpectedly, her uncle carried out this unwritten rule to blame Yan Shaobai. She couldn't help thinking of what Ruyi had just said. As soon as her uncle came, everyone had a hard time.
Yan Shaobai still looked indifferent: "I had heard Su Yue talk about this before, and Su Yue also said that this undetermined rule is not a rule. Whether a husband keeps filial piety for his wife or not is a matter of people's hearts, and it has nothing to do with it."
Lin Huazhi was stunned. When did she say such a thing? Thinking carefully, it seems that he once said something about the clan, but what Yan Shaobai meant was that he did not keep filial piety for Chen Suyue because he didn't have her in his heart, so he didn't want to keep filial piety for Chen Suyue. Lin Huazhi couldn't help laughing, and Yan Shaobai's words were not smart.
Uncle also thought of this and immediately asked Yan Shaobai: "It can be seen that you don't have your wife in your heart, so you don't want to keep filial piety for Suyue."
Yan Shaobai shook his head: "Not keeping filial piety for Su Yue doesn't mean that I don't have her in my heart. In my heart, Suyue is always unique.
Yan Shaobai's words were loud and cautious, without any wavering and unwillingness. Lin Huazhi's heart moved and couldn't help looking up at Yan Shaobai. He was standing there and everyone was looking at him, but he stood straight and firmly facing his uncle calmly. At that moment, everyone had only one idea, and what he said was true.
A warmth suddenly surged from the bottom of Lin Huazhi's heart. At first, it was like a trickle and slowly turned into a wide sea. Then, what rushed in was unspeakable sourness.
She is unique, but the man she loves doesn't love her.
I don't know when Lin Huazhi has been entangled about Yan Shaobai's love. There are some things that she thinks she has begun to learn to open her hands. But at this moment, when I heard Yan Shaobai's words, my heart still fluctuated.
Lin Huazhi looked at Yan Shaobai. Did he say such a thing to justify himself or to get his uncle's sympathy? She couldn't see it, but felt sad.
Uncle obviously didn't expect Yan Shaobai to say such a thing, and his face was stunned, but soon, his uncle snorted coldly again: "This is so funny. If you can't forget Su Yue in your heart, why are you rushing to marry a bride? Is it true that you have done something that can't be seen? His uncle's eyes were almost narrowed into a crack. He looked at Yan Shaobai, but his eyes were like a sharp sword.
Yan Shaobai sighed softly: "Uncle, I don't deny that I have been childhood sweethearts with that woman, but before Su Yue's death, I had never done anything wrong to Su Yue. I married that woman, but I didn't want to live up to my sincerity. It is extremely difficult for a woman to live alone in the secular world. Now there are rumors everywhere, and people are constantly maliciously slandering others behind their backs. I can't let a weak woman be bullied for nothing. A gentleman has something to do and nothing to do. Although my approach is not very appropriate, I asked myself that I didn't do anything wrong to others.
Uncle said, "You are unreasonable. No matter how grand you are, you are just defending yourself. You don't want that woman to be maliciously slandered by others. Not only do you not want to calm it down, but you use it as an excuse to marry a new woman. It can be seen that you actually didn't think about Su Yue's death, and you didn't think about the cy of people's hearts.
His uncle's tone became more and more cold and reproachful. At this time, in his eyes, Yan Shaobai's whole body was nowhere.
Yan Shaobai didn't say anything for a moment and was silent for a while before he said, "It seems that my uncle won't believe anything. Even so, I don't want to say more. But my uncle said that I had violated the clan rules, and I would never admit it.
His uncle didn't say anything, and in fact, he also knew that what Yan Shaobai said was true. The unwritten rules were not binding. Even if there was a precedent, the clan did not say that it was a mistake for the visiting uncle not to keep filial piety for his deceased wife. Even if my uncle is angry, he can only scold Yan Shaobai at most.
Uncle looked at Yan Shaobai again for a while before waving his hand: "Don't mention this in advance, has the family business left by Su Yue's death been cleared recently?"
Yan Shaobai nodded, and his uncle hummed, indicating that he knew about it. He paused. His uncle said, "I'm tired. Let's arrange a rest." After saying that, he didn't look at Yan Shaobai. After getting up, he went straight out of the main room and went to the south courtyard.
Yan Shaobai sighed softly and quickly followed up and ordered the people below to prepare quickly.
Lin Huazhi stood still. Up to now, she hasn't figured out what her uncle's attitude is. At first, what her uncle said to Yan Shaobai seemed to blame Yan Shaobai for being sorry for Chen Suyue, but in the back, it gave her a feeling of 'thunder and raindrops'. And there is one more thing, how can my uncle ask about the accounting room?
Du Yinglian came up with an uneasy look on her face. She looked left and right and whispered to Lin Huazhi, "Come to Huafeng Garden later." Before the words landed, she hurried out of the main room.
Lin Huazhi's heart turned a thousand times. Just now, she thought of a question. Before she could figure it out, she began to feel a little uneasy. Her uncle suddenly came to Jiangdong Mansion, which was by no means simple.
After two hours of confusion, Lin Huazhi took time to go to Huafeng Garden.
Du Yinglian rarely sat quietly in the room, but her locked eyebrows betrayed her mood at this time - uneasiness, anxiety and tension.
At this time, there were only her and Du Yinglian in the room. Lin Huazhi did not say anything. She sat opposite Du Yinglian, poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
"My sister has a bad temper and has been at odds with her uncle before. My uncle is the patriarch of the Chen clan. Over the years, he has experienced a lot of things. He speaks and does things vigorously. His means are not ordinary. To put it bluntly, he is cruel. At this point, my sister is a little similar to his uncle, but my sister just doesn't want to pay attention to his uncle. Every time he worships his ancestors in the clan, my sister never goes. . However, people in the clan can't do anything about my sister. Who says my sister has the ability and can make money? No one dares to say that she is wrong. Today, I didn't expect the uncle's guild to come suddenly. Alas, my sister is not here now. I'm afraid my brother-in-law can't deal with my uncle.
Lin Huazhi still didn't say anything. What Du Yinglian said was all the truth. Chen Suyue hated others most in her life. From the earliest "women should not show their faces" to the following "women should stay at home and teach their husbands and children", these words are what Chen Suyue hates to hear most.
In those years, Chen Suyue's parents died, and people in the clan bullied her as a little girl. They wanted to take advantage of her and said these words to her a lot. Later, they wanted to send her to live in her uncle's house. In fact, they wanted to occupy her family property. Since then, Chen Suyue has not had a good impression on the people in the clan. In addition, in those years, her uncle, who was the patriarch, had never said good words for her. Naturally, in the young Chen Suyue's heart, her uncle became a bad person. Although Chen Suyue grew up later, she still didn't like to listen to the people in the clan.
Lin Huazhi glanced at Du Yinglian: "What's the use of telling me this? If you talk nonsense, you might as well think about how to help your brother-in-law.
Before coming to Huafeng Garden, Lin Huazhi made a guess. His uncle asked about the account book for no reason. Should he take the opportunity to occupy Chen Suyue's property?
Of course, this conjecture is not unfounded. Thinking about what happened when he was a child, Lin Huazhi was 80% sure that his uncle came to Jiangdong Mansion with the intention of Chen Suyue's family property.
If Uncle Public Security had such a thought, then Lin Huazhi was no longer surprised that his uncle embarrassed him about Yan Shaobai's marriage to a bride at the beginning. It's too easy for the clan to take him.
The more she thought about it, the more Lin Huazhi affirmed her guess.
Du Yinglian sat aside and couldn't help hating Lin Huazhi's unimpartable look. He squeezed his mouth and stared at Lin Huazhi fiercely and said in a bad tone, "If my uncle knew that Yan Shaobai was still having an affair with you, you wouldn't have any good fruit to eat. I'm here to see that you have a lot of ideas. I'm kind enough to mention you, so that you won't lose.
Du Yinglian is not stupid. At this time, she also feels something wrong. Although she doesn't understand what happened, she will at least find an allied army. Of course, Du Yinglian did not want to admit that in her heart, she insisted that as long as Lin Huazhi took action, Yan Shaobai would not suffer losses in the face of her uncle.
However, looking at Lin Huazhi with a calm look, Du Yinglian can only sigh. It's really not the right time for her uncle to come. Maybe she overestimated Lin Huazhi's ability.
Lin Huazhi continued to keep her silent. In fact, she didn't know what she could do in this case.
Everything can only see what my uncle wants to do.
Seeing that Lin Huazhi did not cooperate, Du Yinglian's eyes turned and said, "Do you think uncle will really let his brother-in-law marry Cui Ting?"
Lin Huazhi gave her a big white eye, and then gave her two words - idiot.
What does Yan Shaobai have to do with his uncle when he marries Cui Ting?
This girl is really stupid and naive.
