"What?"
"I'm the second master of the Shen family's old house?"
Li Qianfan froze.
Not only did he freeze, but Uncle Kui and the others were also full of astonishment.
Su Nanyin was their mistress.
Even more so, the mistress of the old house.
Even Shen Yue, when he came here, only enjoyed the "right to reside," not ownership (he had too many homes).
To put it plainly, even the three Shen Zui sisters were not the mistress of the old house.
But now!
In front of her two daughters, Su Nanyin announced to these absolute confidants that Li Qianfan was the second master, besides herself.
This also meant that if Su Nanyin suddenly had a heart attack or something, Li Qianfan would automatically inherit this old house.
The confidants she had cultivated would also obey Li Qianfan's orders.
After Uncle Kui and the others were stunned, they subconsciously looked at the caterpillar.
The caterpillar's expression was calm.
Very obviously.
They had known their mother's decision for a long time and were mentally prepared.
Uncle Kui and the others hoped Madam would explain to them.
However, Su Nanyin waved her hand, "What I just announced, just keep it in your hearts, no need to tell others. Alright, you can all leave."
Uncle Kui and the others could only bow and quickly retreat from the main hall.
"Where is your phone? Give it to me."
Su Nanyin, looking at the傻乎乎 Li Qianfan, extended her hand, "Help me call Chu Yazhi."
Li Qianfan asked in confusion, "Is something wrong?"
Su Nanyin didn't speak, just kept her hand extended.
The world's best mother-in-law looked so domineering.
Especially when she tilted her chin up, the arrogance of looking down on a rascal was truly admirable.
Li Qianfan dared not disobey, so he obediently helped her call Chu Yazhi.
"This is Su Nanyin."
Holding the phone, Su Nanyin said to Chu Yazhi, "You can bring your people back to Qingyun now. Li Qianfan will be staying in Lingnan for two days."
I don't want to stay in Lingnan!
Li Qianfan really wanted to say this.
But Su Nanyin shot him a cold glance.
Alright.
Li Qianfan raised his hand and touched his nose, having no choice but to suppress the frustration in his heart for the time being.
"After the call, come to the backyard."
After Su Nanyin finished the call, she tossed the phone to Li Qianfan and walked out of the main hall.
As soon as she left, the caterpillar followed.
"Strange, never mind why Guanyin is passing down the family fortune to me. Let's not talk about Chong Chong. Just talk about Shen Zui, that woman. She despises me even more than Du Junlin. Why isn't she objecting at all?"
Li Qianfan, who couldn't figure it out, stood alone in the main hall, dazed for a long time before calling Chu Yazhi.
He had to explain to Chu Yazhi.
The excuse came naturally, it was about dealing with Lin Yifeng's slander.
Chu Yazhi and the others, who had seen the caterpillar last night, vaguely guessed something.
Therefore, they naturally had no objections to his instructions.
After Li Qianfan instructed Chu Yazhi and the others to return to Qingyun first, he started calling Su Ziyu.
During his absence, Kang Ning would "greet" Su Ziyu every morning and evening.
Originally.
Before coming to the Shen family this morning, Li Qianfan had already called Su Ziyu, saying he would return to Qingyun today.
But Su Nanyin's sudden move caught him completely off guard.
He had no choice but to use the same excuse to tell Su Ziyu that he would be staying here for two days.
Su Ziyu naturally understood.
"Qianfan, don't take your mother-in-law's resignation too seriously. She has worked hard for so many years, and it's time for her to step down and enjoy life."
Su Ziyu, at Qianfan Hospital, gently consoled him for a long time before ending the call.
The video Li Qianfan uploaded last night had generated so much buzz that Su Ziyu couldn't help but know about it.
She immediately found Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao smiled and said at the time, "Qianfan is back."
Yes.
Only Li Qianfan's "true self" would dare to go on a rampage like that.
Even if Kang Ning, his body double, had eighty more courage, she wouldn't dare to post that video.
As long as Li Qianfan could return safely, Su Ziyu was completely relieved.
Sister Su's thoughtfulness made Li Qianfan feel much better.
"Alright. Let me go and see what Guanyin is up to."
Li Qianfan muttered to himself, ambled out of the main hall, and headed towards the backyard.
He did not know.
He was the second man, besides Shen Yue, to enter the backyard after Su Nanyin's parents passed away.
Lin Yifeng, also a son-in-law of the Shen family, had never had the資格 to enter the backyard.
The courtyard of the third entrance of the backyard was also very large.
It even gave Li Qianfan a feeling of openness.
It reminded him of Jiao Yin's Flowing Water Pavilion.
However, Jiao Yin's Flowing Water Pavilion looked exquisite, but it simply couldn't compare to Su Nanyin's old house.
At the very least, it lacked something that could only be acquired through the sedimentation of a century.
Li Qianfan looked around, walked along the bluestone path, passed through a small pavilion, and arrived at the entrance of the main hall of the backyard.
He reached out and pushed the door.
Creak—
The door opened.
Then Li Qianfan felt as if his eyes had been pricked by needles.
While Li Qianfan was on the phone in the front, and when he was on the phone with Su Ziyu, several women had already changed into their most comfortable loungewear (which was tank tops, shorts, and slippers. The temperature here was still very high).
Three women, six legs—
Glaringly bright, truly eye-catching!
Li Qianfan froze for a moment and quickly turned his head.
If it were just Shen Chongchong, Li Qianfan wouldn't be so embarrassed.
But the world's best mother-in-law, and more importantly, his sister-in-law Shen Zui, were also present!
They were all dressed so casually. Did they really think Li Qianfan was a naive three-year-old child who knew nothing?
"Get in, why are you pretending to be a gentleman at this time?"
Seeing Li Qianfan turn to leave, Su Nanyin rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "Just because you're a man, can't we wear shorts in our own home?"
Indeed.
On the street, there were countless beautiful women wearing shorts and showing off their long legs.
Just avert your eyes from impropriety—
Li Qianfan chuckled awkwardly, stepped in after entering, and only then discovered that these women were gathered around a small round table making dumplings.
They rarely made dumplings here.
However, Shen Yue was from the north, and he liked to eat dumplings during festivals.
The women of the Shen family, whether from the south or the north, whether from the East or the West, all knew how to make dumplings.
"The reason I'm letting you stay this time is that there are some things I need to discuss with you carefully."
Su Nanyin said, looking down as she wrapped dumplings, "It's about Mao Mao's matter, Chong Chong's matter, and Yao Yao's matter."
Li Qianfan grunted and also sat down at the small round table.
He knew how to make dumplings too.
Moreover, his skill in rolling dough was quite good.
Focus on rolling the dough, don't look around casually.
But those legs, they just kept coming into his sight.
Sigh—
"Let's talk about Yao Yao first."
Su Nanyin said, "When you went to see Old Shen off, he sent me a text message. He said that you and Yao Yao are both members of Bai Du Niao."
Ah?
Li Qianfan froze.
Before Old Shen left, he had sworn an oath that he would never tell anyone that Li Qianfan was a member of Bai Du Niao.
How could he have sent a text message to the world's best mother-in-law as soon as he got in the car?
Was it that breaking promises was the specialty of an old fox?
As Li Qianfan was secretly slandering Old Shen, he saw Shen family's caterpillar look up in surprise and stare at Li Qianfan.
They had never expected that Li Qianfan and Du Yaoyao were actually Bai Du Niao!
(Shen Chongchong was, of course, feigning surprise, but her and Shen Mao Mao's expressions of surprise with their mouths slightly open were absolutely identical, making one want to grab a raw dumpling or a rolling pin and throw it in.)
"You did well in this matter alone."
Su Nanyin did not hesitate to praise him, and then said, "It's a pity that those fat pigs from the 13 Noble Families made all your efforts go to waste in an instant. Those people really deserve to die. Your father (Shen Yue) going to Si Jiu in a hurry this time, besides participating in the stabilization work after Li Wujiang's resignation, is also to make a clean break with the Si Jiu Shen family."
Make a clean break?
Of course, it was to warn the Si Jiu Shen family to stop playing such tricks in the future!
Then Old Shen swore that from now on, the Lingnan Shen family and the Si Jiu Shen family would go their separate ways and never interact again!
This was something the Si Jiu Shen family had not expected.
They thought that Shen Yue, for the sake of face, and because the Lingnan Shen family was a branch of the Si Jiu Shen family, would not completely fall out with them just because they bribed Lin Yifeng.
This was because they had already learned beforehand that Shen Zui was the person in the Shen family who "hated" Li Qianfan the most, and she was especially concerned about face. Even though she hated Lin Yifeng being bought over, she would only swallow her anger and accept it silently.
However, they really did not expect—
Shen Zui's attitude towards Li Qianfan had undergone a 180-degree turn.
And yesterday, in front of all the core members of the Shen family, she knelt down and begged her parents for permission to divorce Lin Yifeng.
In order to scheme against Li Qianfan, the Si Jiu Shen family had completely turned against the Lingnan Shen family, and this price was too high.
"Li Qianfan, how do you plan to interact with Yao Yao in the future?"
Su Nanyin asked, looking down as she wrapped dumplings. Shen Yue had also asked this question before he left.
Li Qianfan also replied immediately, "From now on, Yao Yao and I will be the best of friends, or siblings from families that have known each other for generations."
Su Nanyin's hand in wrapping dumplings paused—
She looked up at him and said slowly, "Du Junlin must become the village head's wife in Li Family Village."
