C15 New Life

Shan Yongxin had never thought that a child's determination would be so decisive. Suddenly, he thought, "Maybe this is an opportunity to try out. Why not agree to him and see if he can persevere with this decision of his and never change it."

"Alright, since you want to be together with your sister so much, then let's be together. However, you can't let your lessons be delayed just because you're together with your sister. I definitely won't allow that."

Hearing that his father had agreed to his request, the mountain forest was extremely excited. He naturally didn't care about his father's remaining request.

"That won't happen, father. I will work hard and not disappoint you."

He had made up his mind. Even if it was to be with his sister, he would try his best to fulfill his father's wish.

Tomorrow, I will take you to meet my grandfather and grandmother, then your second uncle, then your second aunt, then go to the ancestral hall and give you the family tree. You are the eldest son of our Shan family, Lin'er, since you have become the eldest son, then you will have to shoulder the burden of the entire mountain, do you understand?

Although Shan Yongxin felt that his son could understand what he had not seen, but since he had a son that could carry on his family and career, Shan Yongxin's heart started to stir up. It turned out that the feeling of having a son was like this.

I understand, father, mother once said, as a man, you must have a sense of responsibility, not for yourself, but for others as well. In this lifetime, no one will live for themselves, but for others as well, you must always give something, what you want to gain, and it will all depend on how you want to live, although I am still young, but I know what I want. I will work hard to achieve what I want to live my own life, and only by working hard will I be able to achieve what I want.

This was a nine year old child? Shan Yongxin had to say that this child had been taught well. Perhaps, his hope was not to stay in the sky.

"Alright, I believe you."

After the family had finished eating, Shan Yongxin personally sent the two children to the Ivy Academy. He also checked on the situation of the Ivy Academy. No matter what, First Madam did a good job on the surface. Shan Yongxin was very satisfied.

"Then you and sister should pack up and get some rest. I'll be going back now. We'll set off after breakfast tomorrow."

Before he left, Shan Yongxin gave another instruction and then walked out of the yard that he had never been to before.

"Sister, I'll stay in the room next to yours. If you need anything, just call me brother. I'll be right over."

The mountain forest didn't like these big houses because they were big, so he couldn't live in the same room with his sister. He was afraid that his sister's words would leave a shadow in his heart.

"I'm fine. Big brother, don't worry, I'll call for you loudly if I have something to do."

Shan Xing didn't want her brother to worry about her anymore. Since she had already returned to this house, she had to survive in it, and since she was still young, she had to rely on her own weakness to hide in a corner where no one would notice, so that she could grow up quickly. When she grew up, she would have the ability to fight, and in the future, just like how her brother had earned her the right to study today.

"Okay, then brother will go back. You rest early."

Seeing her little sister obediently nod her head, the mountain forest then brought her little girl and her grandma to the east wing, which had already been properly tidied up. It had to be said that, with this Count Mansion, the quality of the servants were still quite good, it could be seen that in this house, First Madam was quite good at taking care of them, if she was not ruthless, then she might have a stable life in this house, but, reality was always more cruel than one could imagine.

The next morning, Shan Xing came to wake her brother up.

"Why are you so early?"

The forest could see that the sky outside was not yet bright. Normally, he would not even be up at this time.

"Big brother, we are currently at Jia Yong's Count Mansion. We need to wake up early to pay respects to father and mother."

It was only then that the mountain remembered that he had already brought his sister back to the Count Mansion.

A new life was about to begin, but what kind of days awaited him? To be honest, the mountain forest did not have much hope for living in this mansion, he only wanted to be with his sister, to ensure that she would grow up healthy, and that was all he wanted, if only he could learn some results based on this idea, and make his sister's future more secure, then that would be even better. He could not look forward to the future, and right now he was too young, so he could only take a step at a time.

Seeing that Shan Xing and First Madam had come so early to pay their respects, even Shan Yongxin was surprised, but with that woman's guidance, this child was sure to be well-mannered. He did not expect that he would already be imperceptibly filled with confidence and gratitude towards the Peng family.

"The two of you are quite considerate. We'll meet grandpa and grandma after we have dinner here."

He was now surnamed Shan and would need to rely on the Shan family in the future. There would always be benefits if he could interact more with the Shan family, and if he could get them to like him, then that would be even better.

After all, he was the only son of the lord, and as for the daughter, she was just a little girl who didn't really matter. Even if she got close to the lord and the madame, there was nothing good about it, as the daughter of her own family was the eldest daughter, and they didn't even feel sorry for her for her, so it was impossible for them to fall in love with her. Perhaps, if they saw her acting on her own accord, they might hate her even more.

Shan Xing, on the other hand, didn't know what First Madam was thinking. When she heard that her father wanted to take her there, she obediently followed him. Shan Xing thought that the madame was staying very far away from the Old Master.

"It lives so close to us?"

She really couldn't hold back her curiosity. She quietly pulled on her brother's sleeve, but the elder brother didn't answer her. He only patted her shoulder, signalling her not to speak.

In ancient times, if parents were alive, shouldn't they split families? Especially if one had a hereditary title in their own family, shouldn't a few families live together under this title? Shan Xing really didn't understand, but what the hell, this was none of her business.

"After meeting the Old Master and Old Madam, do you want to kowtow?"

Not to mention the mountain forest, even Shan Xing had to look up at the sky with her nose in the sky.

Shan Yongxin didn't say it for nothing. His family was too distant from the Old Master and the Old Granny, and he forgot that his own children didn't understand these grudges, so they naturally wouldn't be like him. They didn't want to care about them either.

"I know that the two of you are both sensible children, but I was just wasting my breath. Just act according to your own thoughts."

Shan Yongxin also thought that perhaps the two children would react more freely.

"Alright, father. My sister and I know that he is an elder and we know what to do."

Shan Xing was dragged by the mountain, and Shan Yongxin gave his father a positive answer. He was very satisfied with his father's attitude towards the mountain.

"Alright, the two of you know what to do. Let's go in."

Shan Yongxin didn't continue nagging and led the way into the courtyard. His steps were a bit big, and the forest and Shan Xing had to follow him in order to keep up. First Madam seemed to be even more unwilling to enter this courtyard.

"Father, mother, I have brought two children to pay my respects to you."

After entering the main yard, the girl went in to report. Shan Yongxin led the child into the house and bowed to the two elders.

"Lin'er, Xing, come pay your respects to Grandfather and Grandmother."

The two children obediently stood up and walked in front of the two elders. They wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the old man, but they discovered that no one was sending cushions to them.

"Big brother, wait a moment."

Shan Xing didn't want to see her brother kneel on the brick. If she did, her knees would turn green. Shan Xing herself wasn't afraid, but she felt sorry for her brother.

"Hey, brother, there are cushions here."

Since she was still young, she didn't need to care about others' impressions of her. Shan Xing went to a nearby chair and brought out two cushions, placing them in front of the two elders before pulling her brother down to bow to them.

Shan Xing's actions left the two old men in their seats dumbstruck. They hadn't even seen anyone's child go find a cushion for himself while kowtowing to the old man, this was clearly a matter of not taking the old man seriously, if he didn't want to lay a cushion for himself, then he would have to find a cushion for himself. If that was the case, then it would be the other way around, especially Old Jia Yongbo, who didn't want to see this son of his who had inherited his title.

Shan Yongxin was a little happy about his daughter's small actions. Although he did something to let him succeed when he was accepting the title, the two elders couldn't do anything to him, but he couldn't do anything to the two elders when he was really facing them.
