After the Republic of China

Chapter 933 Take action
Everyone in Shao Mansion knew the dirty thoughts of Peking. While they were angry, they strongly supported their young lady to ask for external help.

Unexpectedly, before Shao Yunshi had the chance to call to complain, the people in Peking asked the old man for instructions, saying that Mr. Shao was ill and wanted his eldest daughter to go and reunite with him.

He wanted to cut off the source of the problem, and with the help of Mrs. Shao, he knew he would not be able to get his eldest daughter to come.

Wuhan, Jiang Mansion.

Ever since he received the call from his eldest son, Mr. Shao has been sitting in the chair with a sullen face.

Butler Zhang looked at the old man with some worry, and whispered: "Master, you can't let the eldest young master do this."

Mr. Shao nodded, "That's for sure. No one is allowed to make a move on Aunt Man's side."

Butler Zhang was relieved when he recalled that when the old lady was in Yangzhou, she had the idea of ​​hiding the marriage of the young lady from her aunt, and was severely punished by the old man. As long as the old man held on, no one else could plot against her.

The master and servant were getting annoyed when Shao Lanxiang stepped in and said, "Dad, you'd better call your brother right away. He shouldn't be thinking about Aunt Man."

There is anger in these words, and nothing good will come out of them.

When Mr. Shao saw her, he didn't say she was disrespectful to his brother, but just scolded her, "Who asked you to take care of this? Go back and rest."

Shao Lanxiang smiled and said, "I have been out of confinement for a long time, how can I be tired? You should think more about what to do with Mangu."

Mr. Shao was speechless, "How did you know about the secret of my aunt?"

Shao Lanxiang said with a smile: "How else can I know? Of course someone got anxious and called me again."

This? Don't say that Mr. Shao was furious.

Even the housekeeper Zhang was a little embarrassed. Was this still the young master from their scholarly family? He was too careless in his work.

Mr. Shao looked at his daughter dejectedly and asked, "How did you respond?"

Shao Lanxiang sighed, "What can I do? He is the eldest brother after all, I can't bully him. I will be as unreasonable as him."

Butler Zhang looked at the Second Young Lady approvingly.

Mr. Shao waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite to him. These people's tempers are all spoiled."

Shao Lanxiang didn't want to talk about it any more, so she said, "Dad, why don't you tell big brother about what you've been hiding from aunt? There's no need to keep him thinking about it."

Mr. Shao glared at her and asked, "Where's your mother?"

Jiang Zhekai is an important figure in Wuhan, and Mrs. Shao is highly praised here.

She rarely stayed at home. Either someone invited her to see a play today, or someone invited her to play cards tomorrow.

In this regard, Shao Lanxiang was also helpless, "I went out to play."

Mr. Shao's face darkened. "Or with the wives of the subordinate officers?"

Shao Lanxiang nodded, "It's rare for Mom to come and relax. She's very tired from my confinement. It would be nice for her to go out and have some fun."

Mr. Shao felt extremely powerless. "Because of that idiot Niu Chunyue, we had to flee to Wuhan. We never thought that even here, your mother still didn't know how to restrain herself."

Speaking of Niu Chunyue, Shao Lanxiang also felt powerless. "Hasn't Mom seen through the true colors of the Niu family a long time ago? Why is she still thinking of letting my eldest brother marry Niu Chunyue?"

"Who knows what's bothering your mother now?" Mr. Shao said bluntly.

Shao Lanxiang was slightly embarrassed and said, "My mother wants a woman whose husband's family has broken off the engagement with her. She is really confused."

As children, these words are extremely serious.

Mr. Shao no longer had any hope for his wife. He was also disappointed and saddened by his eldest son. "How could your eldest brother find a wife? Add to that your mother's selfishness, and things naturally turned out like this."

"It's not a good idea for Niu Chunyue to stay in Yangzhou all the time. Brother can't always stay away from home, right?" Shao Lanxiang frowned.

The reason why Mr. Shao and his family were not at home even for such an important event as the Chinese New Year was that they could not bear the disturbance from the Niu family, and also to separate the connection between Mrs. Shao and the Niu family.

Grandpa Shao couldn't tell his eldest granddaughter about the dirty things that Old Madam Shao and the Niu family had caused, and he just wanted to stay away from them.

He originally thought that nothing serious would happen, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened with his son again.

Shao Lanxiang was exhausted both physically and mentally by all the things that happened in her mother's family, and she felt even more sorry for her niece.

Putting aside the Niu family's affairs, Shao Lanxiang asked, "Dad, what are your plans for my eldest brother?"

Mr. Shao has ignored his son over the years because he wants him to gain some experience and improve his character.

Unexpectedly, having a wife like Bai made his life even more miserable.

He couldn't say whether he regretted his son's current state or not, and sighed, "I plan to take your mother to Peking."

"Ah? Isn't it too far to go there?" After saying that, Shao Lanxiang felt embarrassed. After all, Wuhan was not nearby.

Mr. Shao ignored his daughter's embarrassment and said, "Tell your son-in-law to send me a few people."

"Dad, what are you planning to do? Put my brother under house arrest?" Shao Lanxiang frowned.

Mr. Shao shook his head. "I have to go to Peking to clean up some people, so I'm naturally short of manpower. I haven't been around for so many years, and some people might think I'm a toothless tiger."

Speaking of which, when Mr. Shao was young, he was also very enterprising and made many friends. Nowadays, there are many high-ranking officials among his friends.

If Shao Mingkang could be a little more sensible, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.

Take Jiang Zhekai for example. Although he is in the military, he is also involved in political affairs.

Although it seemed that the old man was unable to help with his last transfer, the party and state elders who were on good terms with the old man did help.

It is obvious that the old man has a great network of contacts.

Shao Lanxiang naturally knew all this, and felt a little bitter in her heart, "Do you really want to attack the Huang and Bai families?"

In her heart, the elder brother of the past has become blurred, and the elder brother of today has changed beyond all recognition. She only feels sorry for her father.

Old Master Shao said gloomily, "Over the years, in order to hone your eldest brother, I let go too early. If I don't take action, the Shao family, ah, how can there still be a Shao family."

Shao Lanxiang understood what he said, so she didn't stop him. "So, Dad, are you going alone, or with Mom?"

Before she finished speaking, she hurriedly added, "I think I should let Mommy stay here."

Mr. Shao shook his head. "This time, I not only have to deal with the outsiders, but also have to put the house in order. I can no longer ignore the internal affairs."

It seemed that her father had made up his mind, so Shao Lanxiang asked, "What about Aunt Man?"

"Stay in Shanghai until you get married, and never return to Yangzhou." Mr. Shao was determined, but then he said sadly, "I can't let the Lu family down again."

Shao Lanxiang also knew that if she went home with her aunt, nothing good would happen to her.

She felt sorry for her child, so she nodded and said, "It's okay if she doesn't go back. It's fast to fly from Shanghai to Wuhan anyway. I'll let her come to my place later."

Mr. Shao nodded with a smile, "It's not like you don't have a place to go, Aunt Man, you can come to your place, or go to Qingdao. Besides, your aunt is in Shanghai."
