Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 375 Discovery, the son of the concubine Shen Haobo

After Pei Zongzheng came back, he went to find Shen Youran first, but she was busy having a secret meeting with Prince Rui and had no time to pay attention to him.

After Shen Youran returned, she followed Shen Wenting's instructions and sent a letter to King Rui, saying that she was not feeling well and could not drink tea with him. Unexpectedly, King Rui sent her some tonics and asked her to rest well. Shen Youran was very excited. It seemed that King Rui really cared about her. If she could marry him and become his princess, who would dare to look down on her in the future? By then, not to mention Shen Nianran, even the entire Shangshu Mansion would have to kneel before her.

Shen Youran has been planning these days on how to make Prince Rui fall in love with her. No one knows what Shen Wenting is busy with every day, and everything in the mansion is calm.

That day, Chen Shuhua, accompanied by Yao Qingnian, went to check the shops. When they passed by the entrance of a gambling house, they saw a young man being thrown out. A group of people punched and kicked him, cursing as they beat him: "You have no money, but you dare to come in? Why don't you ask around? Our Haoheng gambling house is not a place where a young man like you can cause trouble."

"I obviously won, how could I be without money? It's obvious that you guys are cheating in the gambling house!"

"Oh! You have bad luck and you dare to say that our gambling house is cheating. I think you are tired of living. Brothers, keep beating him. He looks like a scholar. When you are done, throw him to the gate of the academy and let his teacher and classmates see his bad character. Let's see who dares to associate with him in the future." The man who led the gambling house kicked him in the stomach, and he cried out in pain. This man was none other than Shen Haobo, the son of Ru Niang.

After being beaten up by Shen Wenting last time, he didn't go home for a long time. When he went home, he just took the money and came out. Recently, he met a group of bad friends from somewhere, and he stayed in brothels all day long, drinking day and night. He was bored of staying in brothels, so they suggested taking him to do some fun things and brought him to the gambling house.

At the beginning, he won a lot of money and people around him said he was lucky, so recently he became addicted to gambling. It was fine a few days ago, but recently he started to lose money all day long, and all the valuables on him were gambled away. That would have been fine, and it wouldn't have been a big deal if he just left after losing, but he was not convinced. He didn't go to the academy, went home to get the silver, and went to the gambling house again, where he stayed for a whole day and night. In the end, he lost all the silver he brought with him. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red, and he overturned the gambling table in a rage, saying that the gambling house was cheating.

As a result, he was kicked out immediately.

"You bullies, if you dare to disrespect me, my father will not let you go."

"Your father? Hahaha! Could your father be the prime minister of this dynasty?" The group of thugs laughed mercilessly.

Chen Shuhua watched for a while. The child seemed to be about the same age as Nian'er and the others. He was so young but still a bad boy and went out to gamble. She shook her head helplessly and prepared to leave.

"My father is Lord Shen from the Shangshu Mansion. If you don't stop, I will go back and tell him to give you a good beating." Shen Haobo lay on the ground, worried that they would really send him to the gate of the academy. In desperation, he brought up Shen Wenting's name.

"Your father is the Shangshu! Haha! My father is the emperor! What nonsense are you talking about! It's not easy for you to get away after you destroyed our place. Your father is the Shangshu, right? That's great. I'll take you to ask him for money." The leader of the thugs and his men laughed, and no one believed him at all.

Chen Shuhua paused as she was about to leave, turned around to look at the man on the ground, walked over and shouted, "Stop!"

Yao Qingnian had recognized Shen Haobo a long time ago, but she didn't know how to tell her for a moment. Now that Shen Haobo had revealed his family background, she didn't have to worry about it. She would have to face it sooner or later, it was all the same.

"Madam, is there anything I can do for you?" Seeing that Chen Shuhua had decent manners, was dressed in fine clothes, and looked of noble status, those people spoke politely. Although they were thugs, thugs who could survive in the casino were not completely without any skills, and they were quite experienced in judging people.

"What do you want to do in broad daylight? He is just a weak scholar. Even if he made a mistake, you have beaten him and scolded him. Stop it! If you continue like this, I will report to the police." Chen Shuhua did not directly expose or reveal her identity.

"Madam, you don't know that he overturned the gambling house's stall and had no money to pay. The gambling house also has its own rules. We didn't chop off his hand, which was already polite. Please don't meddle in other people's business and make things difficult for us servants. Otherwise, it will be me and my brothers who will suffer." The leading man thought to himself, although this lady was well dressed, she was still a woman in the backyard, and she didn't know the depth of the outside world. There were so many gambling houses every day, could she save such a young boy? If she helped him this time, maybe he would come back tomorrow with the money that his family had worked hard to save.

"How much money does he owe you?" Chen Shuhua asked lightly.

"Not much, just one hundred taels of silver."

"Yuzhu, give them one hundred taels of silver."

"Yes, ma'am." Yuzhu took out a hundred taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the leading man.

"Can we let him go now?"

"Okay, okay. This kid is lucky today to meet a noble man like you. Come on, brothers, let's go back." The leading man took the silver and happily took his brothers back to the gambling house.

After everyone left, Chen Shuhua walked up to Shen Haobo and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"

"It's just a minor injury, it's okay. Thank you ma'am for your help. Just consider the hundred taels of silver as a loan to you. I will return it to you when I have the money." Shen Haobo said, covering his swollen face.

"You look badly injured. There's a clinic nearby that I'm familiar with. I'll take you there to treat your wound!"

"Madam, don't bother me. I'm already very grateful that you lent me the money." Shen Haobo refused.

"I just saw that you are about the same age as my son. As a mother, I can't bear to see you children suffer. You don't have to feel too burdened. Let's go!" Chen Shuhua asked the servant to help him get on the carriage. Shen Haobo didn't know what to say, so he thanked them and let them help him go to the clinic.

After treating his injuries, it was time for dinner, and with Chen Shuhua's arrangement, they found a place to eat.

"Kid, what's your name? The gambling house is not a good place. Don't go there again." Chen Shuhua asked with concern.
