The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1246 Going against the grain

Cheng Feng guessed in his heart that if Cheng Youning's grandmother didn't see Cheng Youning at the dinner table, she would definitely ask about the situation, and then come here to look for people and rescue the two of them. So Cheng Feng was not in a hurry to write any family rules, and just waited for his mother to save them.

But many times, man proposes, God disposes.

At the dinner table, Madam Wan really started looking for her son and grandson, "Shang Xi, where are Feng'er and my grandson?"

Shang Xi stood up slowly, picked up the soup spoon and virtuously served a bowl of soup to Madam Wan and Master Wan, then said, "Dad, Mom, I asked them to copy the family rules in the house."

"Why do you let the two of them copy the family rules together?"

Shang Xi knew that Madam Wan would be surprised and confused, and even thought that as a woman, she had no right to punish his son and grandson in this way. However, Shang Xi was prepared, and he explained calmly: "Dad, Mom, you don't know that Cheng Feng has been taking Cheng Youning to watch operas with some grown men for several days."

"Shang Xi, mother knows you don't like to listen to opera, but there's nothing wrong with listening to opera! How many men don't like to listen to opera? Why are you punishing them for this?"

"Mother, it's not that I don't know the rules. I know that with you and father here, I have no right to punish Cheng Feng. But there are reasons for this. If I sit back and do nothing, it may develop to an uncontrollable level."

"They were just listening to a play, why do you make it so serious? Shang Xi, don't make a big deal out of everything. It's normal for men to listen to a play or a song outside. You can't interfere too much with your husband and son. A woman should obey her husband after marriage and her son after her husband's death. These are the three obediences and four virtues. You must keep them in mind and don't go against moral principles."

Seeing that Madam Wan was going to teach her a lesson, Shang Xi felt very disdainful. She didn't believe that after Master Wan died, Madam Wan would listen to Cheng Feng in everything and not care about the family affairs! Shang Xi had already seen clearly that 70 to 80 percent of the families here had an old Buddha in their families. She had never seen an old Buddha who didn't care about things. It was because most of the sons were foolishly filial and the daughters-in-law were all servile and submissive, like lowly servants. Shang Xi didn't care what others did. She certainly couldn't follow other people's paths and make herself uncomfortable. Although she was not the head of the family, she couldn't help but distinguish right from wrong. Seeing that Madam Wan was about to offend her, Shang Xi not only did not back off, but also said earnestly, "Mother, our Wan family is small, and you only have Cheng Youning as a grandson. Our huge family business will fall into Cheng Youning's hands in the future, but can you rest assured to hand over our family business to an actor? If you can promise, I, Shang Xi, will keep silent about Cheng Youning's listening to operas in the future."

"Daughter-in-law, the more you talk, the more confused I become! How did you even bring up the opera singer?"

Shang Xi put on a sad face and said, "Mother, you don't know that your grandson has had his clothes fumigated twice a day since he went to the opera. He smells better than a woman, with gold and silver jewelry all over his neck and hands. When he arrives at the opera house, he will give the jewelry on his body to the actors on the stage as a reward. He looks like a real dandy. If this continues, this child will sing sooner or later. If you want to see that day, I, Shang Xi, will not care. Let the father and son go. After all, I am a woman and my words are not important."

Upon hearing this, Master Wan slapped the table with his palm, making the plates and bowls on the table clink. "Asshole, it's fine if you're just a prodigal, but you're actually trying to become an actor. Call the father and son here. I'm going to punish him today."

Shang Xi pretended to have something to hide, and said, "Father, you must not do that. If I could, I would have handed them over to you long ago, and your daughter-in-law wouldn't have to be so embarrassed."

Master Wan said, "Shang Xi, is there any hidden secret here? Tell me and I will make the decision for you."

Shang Xi quickly said, "Dad, it's fine that they are the father and son going to the opera, but they also dragged my uncle to the opera. Dad, the opera in that theater is indeed good, but the environment is extremely bad. The audience is full of smoke and there are all kinds of people. My uncle is the emperor, how can he condescend to go there to listen to the opera. It is precisely because my uncle is sitting there, with my uncle as a talisman, Cheng Feng and Cheng Youning stuck their necks out in the theater and pretended not to know me. I, Shang Xi, could tolerate Cheng Feng pretending not to know me, his wife through thick and thin, but Cheng Youning and his father had the same dead look on their faces and pretended not to see me. I, the daughter-in-law, feel like a failure!" After saying that, Shang Xi did not forget to pull out her handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Seeing this, Master Wan became even more furious: "These two bastards actually did such an unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial thing! Just wait and see how I deal with them."

"Dad, calm down, my daughter-in-law thought. Now they should sincerely repent and copy the family rules in the house."

How could Mr. Wan calm down? He stood up and walked outside, followed by Mrs. Wan.

Han Nianxia was so scared that she grabbed Shang Xi's hand and said, "Cousin, you've gone too far. It's not as serious as you say. My cousin Cheng Youning ran into you in the theater, but he was hiding because he was afraid of you. Why are you confusing right and wrong? Aren't you making things worse? Besides, the emperor was present at that time. My cousin might not have spoken to you in order to hide the emperor's identity. After all, all the women at our table were present."

Shang Xi felt like a clown in the theater today. She made a lot of speeches with gestures, but when Wan Lianxing showed up, she instantly became a grandson. In addition, she didn't plan to let Cheng Youning go to that kind of place. If a person learns well, it's like climbing a mountain, but if a person learns badly, it only takes minutes. A child like Cheng Youning must be strictly disciplined, because Cheng Youning learns things quickly, and in a few days, the child will have to sing at the top of his voice at home.

Shang Xi said to Han Nianxia: "Don't get involved in this matter. It's time to take care of your cousin and Cheng Youning."

"Cousin, I just realized that you are actually a very cunning woman!"

Shang Xi hurriedly followed Master Wan and Madam Wan. Yuhua ran after them. Yuhua didn't know what was going on yet. She asked as she followed them, "Shang Xi, what's going on? Did you punish Cheng Feng and Cheng Youning and make Master Wan and Madam Wan angry? Did they blame you? I told you to deal with that little loser Cheng Youning, but you shouldn't punish Cheng Feng. Since ancient times, women have not been able to punish their husbands. You are going against human ethics. You will be divorced if you do this."
