dawn of dynasty

Chapter 44 The beginning of the feast

The Zou family hall was in a mess, and Zou Wubing regretted it endlessly.

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in his third brother Zou Wuji's affairs. He just did whatever his mother said.

Anyway, the Shen family has fallen into decline. Not to mention that they will no longer be able to borrow money in the future, and they may be borrowed money in turn. Why not take this opportunity to stop the Shen family from wanting to borrow money?
Don’t speak up, don’t dissuade, and enjoy the benefits silently.

but--

Who could have imagined that things would turn out this way?
They have abruptly cut off a royal family!

In terms of the status of Lord Apocalypse, he is no different from the royal family members in ancient times.

Is there anything more stupid in the world than this?
"Third brother, listen to me, you must not divorce Zhimei. This marriage cannot be broken off at any cost."

"On the day of the Shen family's banquet, your second brother and I will go to the Shen family together. Whether you kowtow to Zhimei or cry bitterly, you must get Zhimei's forgiveness. Is that clear?"

Zou Wubing calmed down and said seriously.

It was too late to regret now, he could only find a way to remedy it.

After all, Zou Wubing came from a former official family, and he still had some brains.

The pros and cons can also be seen very clearly. Previously, Mrs. Zou and Zou Wuji were still messing around because it was more in his interests and he could still maintain the character of a good big brother who tried his best to wipe his younger brother's butt.

Now it is about the prosperity and decline of the Zou family, and his mother and third brother cannot be allowed to mess around.

Zou Wuji would kneel down to invite Shen Zhimei back!
In fact, if it weren't for today's incident, he would have agreed to it.

He really wanted to slap Zou Wuji a few times and scold him, "I spend all day messing around with women, and all the books I have read over the years have gone into the dog's belly!".

But he didn't have the nerve to say this.

"exactly!"

Zou Wuhuang on the side agreed hurriedly.

This is Lord Apocalypse!

This family relationship cannot be broken off like this!

Mrs. Zou opened her mouth to say something, but she was still speechless in front of the four characters "Lord Apocalypse".

"But big brother..."

Although Zou Wuji had no ability, he had studied for many years. It was really difficult for him to kneel down and beg for mercy like a rogue in the market.

"No but!"

……

The Zou family jumped here and regretted it.

On the other side, Shen Guanye and his party separated soon after leaving the Shen family.

Shen Zhizhu is going to school to extend his vacation, while Shen Zhilan and his wife are going back to the He family to take the two elders of the He family to Hongdong County.

Originally, Shen Zhilan and his wife planned to stay at home for one night before taking their elders back to Hongdong County, but Shen Zhilan was worried about her sister Shen Zhimei and her nephew. After returning home to meet her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she hurried to the station.

Shen Zhizhu was good at quarreling and scolding, but was average at taking care of others. Shen Zhilan was worried about letting her take care of her sister and nephew.

She originally planned to let her husband stay and pick up her parents-in-law to Hongdong County tomorrow.

But when her parents-in-law heard about the Zou family, they were stunned, but insisted that He Tingzhang come with her.

He also said that they were not too old to travel far away, so he asked the couple to come back quickly and asked them to pay more attention to Shen Zhimei.

Comparing the true appearance of the Zou family, it's like heaven and earth.

While Shen Zhilan felt sorry for her sister, she felt lucky to have met such kind and polite parents-in-law.

The group rushed back to Hongdong County overnight.

The Shen family was very lively, much more lively than when Shen Guanye and the others left in the morning.

Many people from the Shen family have already arrived, as well as many people from the An family. Shen Guanye becoming Lord Tianqi is a great blessing for both families.

Clan members of both families and neighbors are helping to prepare the banquet for several days.The Shen family can be said to be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and crowded with people.

The guest list for the banquet has been decided by Mr. An, the old man, and the third wife, and they have reserved a total of ninety tables. Including the number of tables prepared, it is estimated that there will be hundreds of tables in total.

Not to mention the Shen family, the entire Hongdong County has not had such a lively banquet for many years.

In the alley of Shen's house, a shed has been set up - there are so many tables of guests that Shen's house alone cannot accommodate.

Ingredients such as chicken, duck, beef, sheep, river seafood, etc. are all ready, and some dishes that take a long time to cook have even entered the process now.

In addition, the Shen family is also well-known in the county, and several well-known restaurants have ordered signature dishes and will deliver them when the time comes.

Walking from the alley to the door of his house, Shen Guanye saw so many familiar faces, many of whom he only saw during the holidays.

Everyone had a festive look on their faces and greeted Shen Guanye and his siblings enthusiastically.

When she arrived at home, An met her siblings and greeted them as usual. She waited until no one was around before she stopped smiling.

"what happened?"

Holding her grandson in her arms, An said with a serious expression.

Shen Zhilan and his wife said they would come back tomorrow, but they came back together tonight.

Shen Zhimei even came back with only her son.

An didn't need to think about it to know what must have happened.

Besides, Zhizi Mo Ruomu, although everything seemed normal to outsiders, in An's eyes, her children seemed to have something on their minds at first glance.

Shen Zhizhu told what happened to the Zou family. Before he finished speaking, he found that An was very angry. He gritted his teeth and seemed unable to catch a breath, which shocked his siblings.

"Mom! Are you okay?"

Shen Zhimei hurriedly stepped forward. Her tears fell uncontrollably as she became anxious.

She was already ashamed of having her family worry about her. If her mother had something wrong with her, she really didn't know what to do.

On the other side, Shen Guanye was ready to issue the order.

Finally, An's breath calmed down.

"I am fine."

Then he looked at Shen Guanye.

"You are doing the right thing. We can no longer keep this relative of the Zou family. We will send the divorce papers another day. But don't make any announcement in advance and just keep a low profile."

If the news really got out during the banquet, would Shen Zhimei still be a human being?

Others could chew her to death with their tongues wagging.

"You've all been tired for the whole day. Go and do what you have to do. Zhimei will stay here for a while."

Shen Guanye and others left one after another.

Shen Zhimei sat next to An, feeling a little uneasy.

An's has always been a strict mother, dignified and capable, but now she has been bullied by the Zou family to the point where she still doesn't say a word, and has to rely on her younger siblings to support her.

Shen Zhimei felt that her mother must be disappointed and angry with her, and she would have to be scolded today.

"You have suffered."

Unexpectedly, the imaginary reprimand did not appear. Instead, a warm hand touched his face, and the pleasant scent of sandalwood penetrated his nose faintly.

"mom!"

Shen Zhimei's heart ached, and tears fell down.

She had actually tried her best to endure it in front of her brothers and sisters before, but now she was able to cry happily when she returned to her mother.
