Chapter 936: Shang Yingnian

Shang Yingnian looked at the grandson before him, snoring away, and the more he watched, the more he liked him.

His grudge against Chen Chuyang was even deeper—both of his women had been taken by him, so there was no reason to give him any pleasant look.

Chen Chuyang bowed his head awkwardly, daring not to speak, knowing he was in the wrong.

Although everyone tacitly understood the matter, still the father‑in‑law was allowed to vent his inner anger.

Jiang Luolan unusually did not help; her eyes were only on her own Hongxue, holding Hongxue's hand and speaking the words of mother and daughter. Long Ming was also beside them, not interjecting. As for this matter, indeed her son was at fault; what can saying a few words to someone achieve?

Both daughters had been taken; being scolded a few words wouldn't kill them.

If his own daughter were deceived away by a man, Long Ming would kill him; if two daughters were both deceived away by the same man, Long Ming would act without hesitation, making him know what despair is.

"Hongxue, you only report the good and hide the bad; you mustn't be like this from now on."

"I am your mother; remember to tell mother any matter. If you don't speak, how would mother know?"

"Mother, I understand," Shang Hongxue stuck out her tongue, cooing.

Jiang Luolan touched the daughter before her, having become accustomed to this woman's stubbornness, she no longer scolded her. Shang Hongxue appeared gentle and weak, but in fact she was strong inside; she was not the type that could be easily understood, nor was she a fragile person.

Unless she reaches a point she cannot bear.

Fortunately, Long Ming also came to look after her; the daughter's complexion was fine, the grandson had grown, and it was clear they had been doing well these past few days.

"Long Ming, I've troubled you during this period; that girl Hongxue is sharp‑tongued and hard to serve, I bet she's given you plenty of headaches."

"It's fine; Hongxue is my daughter‑in‑law, and naturally also my daughter. I treat Hongxue as my own daughter and cannot let her suffer grievances." Long Ming expressed his view; Hongxue is the daughter‑in‑law he acknowledges, also Chen Chuyang's legitimate wife.

No matter what others do, they cannot shake her position.

Jiang Luolan hurriedly thanked, "Having you by Hongxue's side puts me at ease; in the coming period I may also need to trouble you."

"It's fine, I will take good care of Hongxue."

Jiang Luolan took Long Ming's hand and went out; the two began discussing how to strengthen Hongxue's body and what to do.

Chen Chuyang was also taken away by Shang Yingnian, leaving Shang Hongxue and the child in the room.

The two arrived not far away, only the two of them; Shang Yingnian snorted, "Kid, you're showing off now. My two daughters have both fallen into your hands, huh."

He gave a piece of material and lured away his two daughters.

The more he thought, the more infuriating it became; although he was mentally prepared, the moment it happened he was still angry and could not help losing his temper.

After all, they were his most beloved daughters—whether Shang Hongxue or Shang Hongchen, he had cherished them since childhood, yet they all ended up cheapened by this kid. He once thought the kid was a devoted, sincere person; who knew he was not.

This kid, deep down, is still a fickle person, just like his father.

"Father‑in‑law, wasn't this your consent?"

"Hmph."

Hearing that, Shang Yingnian grew even angrier and pointed at Chen Chuyang, "Kid, I'm going to fight you."

No, he truly could not endure it; the kid's attitude was too hard for him to bear.

Moreover, this incident—this kid had not reported any news for so long; the news that a daughter gave birth to a son was only told by Hongchen, otherwise he would have remained in the dark.

The internal situation of Longshe Shan, the Shang Clan could not know, nor could they inquire; only insiders could inform them.

As for the elder daughter Shang Hongchen, she only told herself a few days later.

It's no wonder his temper is bad.

After speaking, Shang Yingnian acted directly; Chen Chuyang could only reluctantly accompany him in a fight.

After a incense stick's length of time, the two lay on the ground.

Shang Yingnian said, "Kid, you must treat my two daughters well; if you dare bully them, I won't let you go unpunished."

Chen Chuyang immediately replied, "Father‑in‑law, how could I dare bully them?"

"Better that way; you look devoted, but in fact you're quite fickle."

Shang Yingnian gave Chen Chuyang a cold glance; he also understood that men are like that.

As for Chen Chuyang himself, he also has many difficulties, so Shang Yingnian did not pursue the matter further.

Having vented everything, he no longer clung to those topics.

"Hongxue and Hongchen are both enamored with you; I don't want you to be exclusive to either of them. Remember their goodness; Hongxue is your legitimate wife, that you understand, right?"

"Understood. Hongxue's status cannot be shaken by anyone; I can guarantee that." Chen Chuyang could not bear to see Hongxue hurt; he told her about all the other women, without any concealment.

Shang Yingnian nodded; this is a matter between husband and wife, and he should not intervene.

As long as his daughter Hongxue knows, she will handle it; Shang Yingnian trusts his daughter's ability.

If it were Hongchen, perhaps Shang Yingnian would worry.

Hongxue's words show no worry at all.

He came this time to back up his two daughters and also to pressure Chen Chuyang, letting him know that Hongxue and Hongchen have support behind them; they are not without allies.

Suppressing Chen Chuyang was necessary; even if his strength is great and the whole Shang Clan is no match, Shang Yingnian still did it.

"Very good, kid. This is what you said; if you later renege, don't blame me for being unkind."

"Alright."

Chen Chuyang naturally understood his father‑in‑law's mind and knew what he wanted to do.

Hongxue gave him a good son, and Hongchen is also his woman; this father‑in‑law, a daughter‑slave, would feel something was off without warning him.

On the other side.

Long Ming and Jiang Luolan were also discussing this topic; Long Ming repeatedly replied, "In‑law, rest assured, I'll keep an eye on it. That kid Chuyang is indeed fickle; I only learned these matters afterward. I talked with Hongxue to back her up; that girl Hongxue knows it and agrees."

"I don't know how to resolve it; I can only leave it to Hongxue. When Hongxue cannot handle it, I will stand on Hongxue's side."

Jiang Luolan, aware of her daughter's situation, nodded, "As long as you, Long Ming, say that, it's enough. Just stand by Hongxue; the rest, let Hongxue handle."

"Their matters, I'm not in a position to intervene, you know."

Long Ming nodded, "I know, I will handle it well."

Even an upright official finds it hard to judge family affairs.

As for the matter between Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue, they find it awkward to intervene, so let them work it out themselves.

If things are fine as they are now, then there's no need to intervene.

Jiang Luolan is doing this to prepare for the future, after all—whether Chen Chuyang will still have other women by his side later, and whether those women will be so easy to get along with.
