Shen Qingchuan wrapped ice cubes in a clean towel, and applied it gently on his cheeks. There was still a little herbal ointment left from last time, and the medicinal effect was excellent.

About half an hour after applying it, the redness and swelling on the face has basically disappeared, and the face is as white as jade, leaving a little bit of powder.

If you don't look carefully, you generally won't find it.

"Tuk tuk..." The knock on the door sounded again.

"Third young master, I'm Xiaoqing, the eldest young master told you to go to the study."

Xiaoqing stood at the door, a little hesitant, with a disturbed expression on his face.

After a while, the door creaked open.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was getting late outside the window, the sky was blown by the autumn wind and turned into mouse gray, the sky light and cloud shadows lingered, the gloomy ashes were like the temperature-lost dust left over from the burning furnace, and the loneliness and coldness emerged spontaneously.

There was no light turned on in the study room, and there was a sense of oppression that made people breathless.

Shen Keyuan's face was ashen, and he sat on the sandalwood chair covered with green gold ingot pattern cushions, recalling what happened in Jingu, Shen Qingchuan must have had a relationship with Guan Boya before that.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a cold, slow voice, "When did you get together with him?"

Shen Qingchuan stood half a meter away from the desk, black and thick eyelashes drooping down, half covering his eyes, sparsely leaking light, like a layer of mist floating on a clear lake, the dark shadows beside the snowdrifts in the evening Light.

Shen Qingchuan said in a very soft voice, "Not long after returning to China."

There is a page of information on the desk, which says that Guan Boya was famous in the singing and dancing hall. There are not many deeds, but a lot of gossip. It turned out to be a man.

Shen Keyuan asked him again, "Then you—have you started to know that he is a man?"

"No." Shen Qingchuan replied truthfully, he didn't want to deceive Shen Keyuan.

Shen Keyuan was furious when he heard this, pointed at Shen Qingchuan, and said, "He lied to you!"

Shen Keyuan was almost dizzy with anger, his blood surged, he knew that his third younger brother was a young Mu Ai, so he was greedy for the color of that person's women's clothing.

He didn't expect his third brother to be cheated and taken advantage of by others, and he wished he could rush back to Yuhua mansion to beat up that person.

"I won't tell my parents about this, nor will I mention it to anyone else."

Shen Keyuan thought of what happened on the street, and got involved with the man. If this matter got out, it would not be a good thing for the Shen family and Shen Qingchuan, and their reputation would be greatly damaged.

"You broke off your relationship with him immediately, and you are not allowed to associate with this kind of person in the future. I will pretend that this incident never happened."

Shen Qingchuan raised his head, his eyes were full of stubbornness, and said, "Brother, I cannot agree to this request."

Seeing Shen Qingchuan's appearance, Shen Keyuan was really heartbroken, but he also complained about it. He really didn't want Shen Qingchuan to go astray and be reviled by others.

Shen Keyuan fetched the whip from the rack, made Shen Qingchuan kneel on the ground, and waited on him in the family law. With a slap, the whip hit Shen Qingchuan's back hard, including the outside of his arm, and asked sharply, "Shameless, and It is a crime for men to have sex together."

"Dad sent you abroad in the hope that you will succeed in your studies and come back to honor your ancestors, not to discredit your ancestors' door plaques. You have let down your father's painstaking efforts, and you are not filial. This is the second crime."

"As an older brother, you don't set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters, but instead do things that are deviant. If this thing gets out, what do you tell Xin Suzhenfei and the others to do? Who will look for a good son-in-law in the future?" If they choose a tainted Shen family, they will also be ridiculed and unable to hold their heads up, this is the third crime."

"Do you admit your mistake?"

Following the questioning and the whips being thrown down, Shen Qingchuan's face became paler and almost turned into a piece of white paper that was about to be broken.

Shen Keyuan's questioning almost turned into a pair of heavy shackles, which made Shen Qingchuan flustered.

These factors have been tormenting Shen Qingchuan, he knows that he can't only care about his own happiness, he can't be so selfish, but he can't be so selfless, he can't abandon his lover Guan Boya.

Shen Qingchuan was like standing at the center of the balance, no matter where he went, no matter what choice he made, he would be smashed to pieces and his soul burned.

Before Shen Qingchuan, he naively thought that he could keep it a secret, that if he didn't get married for the rest of his life, Shen's father would stop urging him when he was tired. He was also willing to keep it a secret for the rest of his life.

The precarious happiness is unstable, any lie will be exposed one day, he also guessed that there will be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come, so soon, so caught off guard.

The whip pierced through the fabric of the clothes, and the skin was as fine and dense as needles, and the pain was scorching, Shen Qingchuan's face turned pale.

Shen Qingchuan pursed his lips and remained silent, his waist straightened, from the jaw line to the delicate chin, revealing a stubbornness.

Shen Keyuan asked him again, and said, "Do you admit your mistake?"

Shen Keyuan asked him again, and said, "Do you admit your mistake?"

Shen Qingchuan's lips were pale, and when he moved his lips slightly, his tattered sincerity was almost stripped from his chest, and opened in front of Shen Keyuan, saying, "Brother, I like him."

Seeing Shen Qingchuan's refusal to admit his mistakes and refuse to mend his ways, Shen Keyuan's face was grim. He gritted his teeth and endured it. His heart was also very painful. He couldn't understand that Shen Qingchuan would fall in love with a man, even to the point of death However, this younger brother once went deep into the bandit's den regardless of his life and saved his third younger brother.

But as the elder brother, as the eldest son of the Shen family, he also bears the burden of the family. He cannot let Shen Qingchuan destroy the century-old reputation of the Shen family. At the same time, he is also the eldest brother of Shen Xinsu and Shen Zhenfei.

Shen Keyuan showed a slumped expression, and the whip in his hand seemed to weigh as much as a thousand catties, and he said, "Could you like someone else?"

"Bohai City is so big, what kind of one do you want? If you like that one, brother, even if you go to other places, you can find a woman who is seven or eight points like him."

It's hard to believe that these words will come from the mouth of the future head of the Shen family.

"Brother, I like him alone, and he will be the only one in the future." Shen Qingchuan raised his eyes, dark and sharply contrasted with his pale face, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his knees had already knelt It hurts.

His whole body is like the white snow under the eaves, which is about to melt away and disappear under the fierce sunlight, beautiful and fragile.

Shen Keyuan was full of anger, his face was covered with a layer of frost, he raised the whip high in his hand, half way up, trying to wake Shen Qingchuan up, but he couldn't calm down, so he ruthlessly threw it on the ground, and the whip hit the carpet. - a layer of light dust.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"If this matter gets out, the two of you will be cast aside by thousands of people, cursed by thousands of people, and the reputation of the Shen family will also be dragged down by you."

Shen Keyuan's words are very realistic and cruel, because reality is often cruel. It's not that you ignore it, and you can ignore it if you say you don't care. It really exists in every corner and needs you to face it.

Shen Qingchuan's head was lowered very low, his forehead was almost hanging down, and it was stuck to the carpet, his body was prostrate on the ground, teardrops dripped onto the carpet and disappeared.

Shen Keyuan sighed deeply, his tone was full of despair and helplessness, and said, "You should stay in Shen's mansion these days, don't go anywhere, and reflect on it."

Shen Keyuan turned his back and said, "Go out."

Shen Qingchuan knelt for a long time, his body was a little stiff, and with his back injury, he staggered a few steps when he got up, his legs and feet hadn't recovered, and he walked a little slowly.

After Shen Keyuan heard the door squeak shut, he stood in front of the window for a long, long time without turning on the light in the study, it was pitch black, and his figure seemed to be soaked in ink.

When it was completely dark, the door of the study was knocked again by a servant, and a very loud voice came from outside the door, saying, "Young master, dinner is ready, and the master and wife are already in place."

"Oh, I see."

Across the door, Shen Keyuan said in response.

Shen Keyuan didn't move until the sound of footsteps outside the door faded away—the hand holding the whip had a few fingernail marks embedded in the palm of the hand, all stained with blood.

Downstairs dining room.

The lights were bright, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were sitting at the main seats, and everyone else had already taken their seats. Today's dinner was rarely full of people, and everyone sat around together, which was very lively.

Usually, either Shen Yifan is not at home or Shen Keyuan returns late, or Shen Qingchuan is busy with his newspaper outside, but there is always one person at the dinner table.

It was rare to get together today, Mr. Shen was very happy, as he got older, he loved to see his family sitting together for dinner in harmony.

The dishes on weekdays are put on the dining table by the servants. The lamb is stewed until soft, the milky white carp soup mixed with pepper gives off its aroma, and there are all kinds of common vegetarian dishes.

There are so many people, it seems to add a kind of warmth at this time, like a festival or new year, and it is harmonious.

"Dad." Shen Keyuan took his seat and sat next to his wife.

"Well, are you busy with business today?" Mr. Shen had a smile on his face. He seemed in a good mood, but he still cared about his own business.

"It's time for dinner, why are you bringing this up again?" Mrs. Shen's face was a little haggard from the headache, but her energy was fine.

It is enough to discuss business matters in the study room. Mrs. Shen knows that it is not easy to take care of the Shen family's business. She also loves her eldest son very much.
