Jinghong Tower

Chapter 299 Tomorrow will be better

He Shuming was also among the crowd.

Not only him, but Mr. He Er also went.

They saw the woman who was held in high esteem by the stars, riding on a tall horse, dressed in military uniform, shining brightly.

Together with the people, they fell to their knees involuntarily.

The woman smiled brightly and waved to the people.

Her smile still remains in He Shuming's mind, lingering.

In the past three months, the He family had been waiting, waiting for He Ran to think of them. They had imagined countless scenarios of meeting He Ran, and were both afraid and looking forward to it.

At the same time, many guests came to the He family, some they knew and some they didn't know. They just came to inquire about the truth and see what the He family's attitude was towards the He family.

However, there was nothing.

He Ran seemed to have forgotten them a long time ago. He did not ask them to reminisce about the past, nor did he punish them. It was as if they did not exist.

They also thought about asking to see He Ran, but after much thought, they still didn't dare.

They had heard many legends about He Ran.

He Ran's murderous nature, He Ran's ruthlessness, and the disappearance of Mr. He all make the He family flinch.

He Ran is in the office, and she occasionally goes out for a walk. There are legends about her in the streets and alleys. There are many people standing outside the office, holding papers, articles they have written, wine, and even Grow your own vegetables and flowers.

The He family also mingled among these people, but they just took a look and they did not dare to come forward.

It wasn't until yesterday that Mr. He Er finally got the news that Nie Chen had arrived.

Compared to Feng Xieying, Nie Chen was much less famous, and I don’t know where Mr. He Er found out about it. This unknown Mr. Nie Chen was very valued by He Ran.

Mr. He Er asked He Shuming to come over. He was the person who was really determined by the He family and had the closest blood relationship with He Ran.

He Shuming actually didn't want to come, but the way Master He Er looked at him made him dare not refuse.

Although he is the eldest grandson of the He family, that was in the past. Now he has no status in the He family, and even the servants yell at him.

He thought that if He Ran came to Zhending, his life in the mansion would be easier. After all, he was He Ran's half-brother.

But it turned out that instead of getting better, his situation was worse than before. He saw more cynicism.

It didn't matter that he was He Ran's younger brother, He Ran didn't even pay him any attention.

So when Master He Er looked over with his cannibalistic eyes, he compromised.

He came to see Nie Chen, the upstart in front of He Ran.

He had already figured out how to win Nie Chen's sympathy and get Nie Chen to speak kindly for him in front of He Ran.

But he never expected that Nie Chen didn't see him and didn't even give him a chance.

All the words he prepared to impress people were in vain.

He Shuming lingered in front of the inn for a long time, until a group of soldiers came over and interrogated him unceremoniously, and then he left angrily.

When He Shuming returned to the house, there was no doubt that he received a cold look from Mr. He Er.

This nephew is of no use at all.

Mr. He Er sighed, if Mr. Lao had not died, He Ran had not been lost, and Mr. Yan had not come in, the He family would have been rich and wealthy now, with guests arriving like clouds.

But now, it has become a joke in Zhending Mansion. It’s all Zhangfang’s fault!
The eldest brother died and ran away, and only He Shuming was left. This useless thing, why didn't he die?
If all the people in the eldest house died, would He Ran's resentment towards the He family be eliminated?
Mr. He Er sighed, and his second wife looked on coldly.

"What good things are you thinking about? You think so much, why haven't you ever thought about whether He Ran actually has nothing to do with the He family?
I later asked Yan'er that girl, and they had never been to any eldest lady at all. They just posted a missing person notice to let the Marquis of Wu'an know that their girl had been found, but unfortunately she fell into the water and died.

This He Ran was picked up by mistake by the person who picked up the body. The chief had no choice but to recognize her.

You don’t even think about it, how could your family give birth to a daughter like that?

Not to mention giving birth, He Ran came to the door by herself, wouldn't your He family be able to keep her? "

How could Mr. He not have thought of what the second wife said, but he didn't want to believe it!

He Ran belongs to the He family. It can only be from the He family. Otherwise, there is no such thing as a coincidence. Both of them have red moles on their feet. This is too coincidental.

The second wife glanced at him, and if she couldn't wake up the person who was pretending to be asleep, she wouldn't wake him up.

If he wants to humiliate himself, so be it.

Just don't make He Ran angry and make the He family's life worse than death.

Yes, the higher He Ran's reputation, the less likely the He family will be in danger.

But He Ran would not wipe out the He family, but she could make the He family worse off than alive.

He Ran found out about He Shuming's request to see Nie Chen that night.

She felt that she was too tolerant of the He family and allowed them too much leisure.

She said to Xiaoli: "Tell the He family that they can take part in the official examination next year. Both men and women are welcome, but don't think about preferential treatment. They are the same as everyone else."

Xiaoli didn't go to He's house in person. There were countless people watching her every move. She asked Donggua to go.

The winter melon conveyed He Ran's message, and everyone in the He family was both happy and sad.

He was happy that He Ran finally sent someone, but sad that He Ran Ming had said that he would not give preferential treatment to the He family.

The news quickly spread to the clan, and the clan elders who had never visited the house since Mr. He disappeared came to the He Mansion together.

"Who really sent someone here?"

"Did I give you a token?"

"Have you told that person that our clan has opened an ancestral hall and memorized her name in the family tree? In the future, she will be able to receive incense from future generations just like men?"

Master He also heard about the opening of an ancestral hall in the He clan.

This happened after He Ran entered the city. It is said that there was still a dispute in the He family, but in the end, the minority obeyed the majority.

He Ran had heard about this a long time ago.

She was stunned and said to herself: "Is it just to write my name in the genealogy? I thought the family's genealogy started with me."

However, from this day on, everyone in the He family seemed to have been given a shot of blood. Scholars began to read books again, and even those who were not scholars also picked up books.

They thought that although He Ran said he would not receive preferential treatment, who knows, He Ran might get preferential treatment.

They all heard that some people did not even use their original surnames and changed their surnames to He after He Ran. They were from the same clan as He Ran and their original surnames were He. Those with fake surnames could be reused, so why not their real surnames.

It's just that the He family disdains martial arts, otherwise nothing would happen to He Xiulong.

Everyone in the He family is working hard to improve themselves, except He Shuming.

He had a hunch in his heart that He Ran would use the He family, but not him.
