AWB Chapter 241 White-Eyed Wolf
Chapter 241 White-Eyed Wolf
Unexpectedly, this time, Madam Shen didn't even raise her eyelids, but just said in a cold voice: "Brother Lin is not young anymore, it's time for him to experience some life."
Qin Xuerong couldn't help but get anxious. She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Shen Jinglin excitedly.
"I'm willing to go! I'm going to the military camp!"
He has always dreamed of becoming a general fighting in the battlefield, but his family has always disagreed with him joining the army.
Unexpectedly, now that he was in trouble, he got such a good opportunity.
Looking at her naive son, Qin Xuerong said anxiously, "What do you think that is? With your mediocre skills, do you think you can become a general?"
Just by looking at the excitement in her son's eyes, Qin Xuerong knew that he was thinking everything was too simple.
But these words made Shen Jinglin dissatisfied.
"According to what you said, in this world, anyone who goes to the barracks is going to die? Not to mention that I have learned martial arts for a few years. Those ordinary people don't have any martial arts at all, but they still have to serve in the army!"
"Mom, you don't have to say any more! Wait for your son to come back, wait for your son to bring honor to the family and become a majestic general!"
Shen Jinglin was full of confidence and felt that he would definitely become the general he wanted.
By then, the Shen family's survival will not only depend on the second brother, but also on him. By then, his father and grandmother will no longer have the same attitude as before!
Shen Jinglin’s thoughts were simple, and he was even a little excited.
Qin Xuerong was so upset that she almost fainted.
On the battlefield, swords are silent; in the military camp, people fight with violence and flatter the powerful and bully the weak.
If no one protects him, Shen Jinglin won't get any benefit with his personality!
Shen Jingchuan sneered: "In that case, from today on, you can't even think of getting a penny from the Shen family! A real man should stand tall and upright. You will have to earn all your expenses by yourself in the future!"
Shen Jinglin was originally unwilling to accept it. After all, no matter how ignorant he was, he knew that if he wanted to get along well, he would need money to bribe people.
But seeing that Shen Jingchuan had no intention of helping him anymore, and adding the phrase "A real man should stand tall and proud", he immediately said, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me! One day, I will make you look at me with new eyes!"
"Before going to the barracks, keep him under strict watch and don't let him step out of the door!" Shen Jingchuan had already lost his patience and spoke in a cold voice.
"Yes."
After the servants took Shen Jinglin away, Shen Jingchuan's eyes fell on Nanny Wang and he said in a deep voice, "Nanny Wang deceived her superiors and concealed the truth from her subordinates. She knew the truth but didn't report it. She will be severely beaten with 20 sticks and expelled from the mansion!"
Nanny Wang slumped on the ground with a dazed look in her eyes.
But...but at least she saved her life...

The farce ended completely when Mrs. Shen fell ill.
Qin Xuerong completely lost her power as the head of the household in this mansion, while Zhang Jinping valued Shen Shuyi very much, so that Yun Shuyuan's food, clothing and other expenses were all improved.
That day, Shen Shuyi was busy painting for Liancheng when Jinzhu came in from outside.
"Miss, the master has had all the jewelry, head ornaments, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings sent over. Nanny Fang and Yuping are currently counting them."
Shen Shuyi wrote very steadily, and said calmly: "It's faster than expected."
Jin Zhu smiled and said, "Madam, if you delay any longer, it would be tactless. Now, almost all the affairs of the mansion are in the hands of the Second Mistress. Madam's food and clothing expenses in Ruixue Courtyard have been reduced to the minimum, and the master has never been there again. If she doesn't hurry up, the master will probably be angry."
Shen Shuyi said: "After the counting is completed, let Yuping count the silver first. Nanny Fang is old, so she should leave the house. She will check all the manors and shops before she feels at ease."
Shen Shuyi knew that this was a long process. After all, for several years, those manors and shops were basically filled with Qin Xuerong's people.
But there was no rush. At least she had found out a lot of evidence against the shopkeeper and the clerks before. With these things in her hands, Nanny Fang could always deal with most of them.
"Miss, today the master of the Qin family came to see the master. I heard that he wanted to ask for mercy and let Lin'er learn martial arts for two years before joining the army." Jinzhu whispered.
Now that most of Qin Xuerong's people have been cleared out of the mansion and the second branch is now in charge, it would be much easier for Shen Shuyi to place some of his own people in the mansion and gather information.
Listening to Jin Zhu's words, Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice: "Qin Xuerong doesn't want to give up any of her children. Now that Shen Jingzhen has been sent to the manor, she naturally wants to protect Shen Jinglin with all her strength."
Jin Zhu responded, "Yes, I heard from Master Qin that Brother Lin should learn a lesson, but he is too young. It is better for him to learn skills for two years before joining the army, rather than going to die now."
Shen Shuyi put down his paintbrush and said gently, "What did my father say?"
"The master hesitated and did not give a definite answer. The Qin family's master also said that the Qin family would find a way to help the master reduce the impact brought by the young master this time."
Shen Shuyi said calmly: "What good ideas can the Qin family come up with? They are just talking about his future and relying on the fact that he is his father's son."
"Miss, what should we do? The young master has committed such a serious crime. If the master does not punish him severely, then all our planning for so long would be in vain." Jinzhu felt a little aggrieved.
Shen Jinglin and Shen Jingzhen got into trouble and made mistakes again and again, but the master always gave them chances, picking them up heavily and letting them go lightly.
But if these things happened to his young lady, how could the master have such good patience and how could he be so tolerant?
Seeing what Jinzhu was thinking, Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Jinzhu, you have to know that the feelings between people are different. I haven't been home for many years, and Qin Xuerong is trying to sow discord between us. How can I compare to them enjoying the happiness of their father for several years?"
She doesn't have this destiny, nor does she have such good luck.
This is probably how she has been in these two lives, with few relatives, but this is enough.
"What about the young master..." Jinzhu still felt unwilling, even though the young lady didn't suffer any loss in this fight.
"If the Qin family can convince my father to keep Shen Jinglin for another two years, it won't be a bad thing. The more they don't want him to go, the more Shen Jinglin will want to leave."
Shen Shuyi smiled and roughly guessed what Qin Xuerong was thinking. She wanted to use these two years to pave the way for Shen Jinglin. After all, even if he joined the army, she couldn't let him die like a fool in intrigue or on the battlefield.
But she didn't understand Shen Jinglin's character. The more she suppressed and restrained him, the more he would resist.
Of course, I would not let him follow the path arranged for him by the Qin family.
Whether you have the ability or not will be decided on the battlefield. If you want to achieve success and fame, you have to risk your life in this life.
Thinking of what Shen Jinglin did in his previous life, a hint of coldness flashed in Shen Shuyi's eyes.
Qin Xuerong was right about one thing: her brother was truly an ungrateful person who could never be tamed!
