Chapter 203 Shen Mansion Birthday Banquet
"Madam is radiant, just as before." Old Madam Zhao said with a smile. Not wanting to deal with too much, her eyes immediately fell on Shen Shuyi behind Qin Xuerong.
"Grandma." Shen Shuyi spoke in a gentle voice.
Seeing Shen Shuyi, the harsh look on Old Madam Zhao's face softened, and her eyes became more loving: "Sister Yi, how are you these days? Why don't you go to the Marquis' Mansion to visit an old woman like me more often?"
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Thanks to mother's trust, I have been learning how to manage the household from her and organizing the birthday banquet for my grandmother, so I really can't spare the time."
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "Sister Yi has always been well-behaved and capable, no wonder the old lady misses her so much."
"Sister Yi, bring the old lady into the mansion, and don't lose your manners."
Shen Shuyi immediately responded: "Yes, grandma, please follow me."
Because they were relatives and were traveling the same way, Zhao Dechuan and Zhao Dehai, together with the two brothers Zhao Baokun and Zhao Baopeng, followed Shen Shuyi into the Shen Mansion.
As soon as she left Qin Xuerong's sight, Madam Zhao lowered her airs and pulled Shen Shuyi to her side, saying in a gentle voice, "How are you these days? Have you suffered any injustice?"
Shen Shuyi curled her eyes and smiled at Old Madam Zhao, "Don't worry, with your protection, nothing bad will happen."
Zhao Baokun and Zhao Baopeng beside her also winked at her. Zhao Dehai smiled at her and nodded slightly.
Seeing these people who really cared about him, Shen Shuyi was in a good mood and naturally smiled.
Madam Zhao walked in front of them with her support and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, everything you asked for has been arranged properly. Your wish will be fulfilled today."
"With you here, I'm naturally not worried." Shen Shuyi responded gently.
Looking at her granddaughter who had a calm expression and cold almond eyes and was becoming more and more beautiful, Old Madam Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "If your mother were still alive, how great it would be..."
The Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion and the Shen family have not had any contact for many years. Now, seeing Qin Xuerong taking her daughter's place, enjoying everything that should have belonged to Zhao Derong, and bullying Zhao Derong's two children, Old Madam Zhao felt mixed emotions.
"Even if mother is not around, I will still be filial to you." Shen Shuyi comforted Madam Zhao softly.
Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly wet, and she patted Shen Shuyi's hand: "Good boy! It's your grandmother who is sorry for you!"
Mr. Zhao didn't like to hear such sad things, and frowned and asked, "Why don't you see Brother Han? How is he doing now?"
Madam Zhao had always wanted to ask about this, but she hadn't found the opportunity to ask yet. She frowned and said, "Speak more quietly. This matter is taboo in the Shen family. Don't make it difficult for Sister Yi."
Mr. Zhao's face flushed slightly, and he put his hands behind his back. Although he was not convinced, he did not ask any more questions.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "It's nothing, it's just that my brother is seriously injured, his tendons in his hands and feet are broken, so it's naturally inconvenient for him to show up."
When she mentioned this, a trace of sadness flashed across Old Madam Zhao's eyes.
But she also knew that things in a wealthy family were not that simple, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Shen Shuyi led the group to their seats, and Old Madam Shen and the other female relatives naturally exchanged greetings again.
Shen Shuyi didn't stay long and returned to the gate of the mansion.
Not long after, Mrs. Wang also got out of the car with Yao Huiyan, but she had a cold face and did not look happy.
Qin Xuerong's expression froze slightly, and she quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a while. Thanks to Xiao'er for helping me that day, I haven't had the chance to thank you in person. Fortunately, sister has forgiven me and honored me by showing up today."
Madam Wang was unmoved and said calmly, "Madam Shen, there is no need to do this. I came here for Madam Shen's sake."
In a word, you are not impolite.
Without giving Qin Xuerong a chance to speak again, Madam Wang's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi and her voice softened a bit: "Please lead the way, Second Miss."
"Madam Wang, Sister Yao, please follow me." Shen Shuyi responded with a smile. After leading the two away, Qin Xuerong almost bit her teeth and it took her a long time to maintain the smile on her face.
Yao Huiyan walked beside Shen Shuyi affectionately and whispered, "Does the third young lady in your mansion really want to apologize to my cousin in public?"
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "That's what I said, it should be like this."
Yao Huiyan couldn't help but say: "This is really strange. How could she be willing to bow her head when she is so proud and arrogant?"
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Everyone has something to ask for. She has been confined for many days, so she must find a way to make herself feel better."
Madam Wang said quietly, "I have always thought that Qin was a good person, but I didn't expect that she would teach her daughter like this. I want to see if her daughter, who is so ambitious, really has such a good fate."
These words were quite impolite. It was obvious that Mrs. Wang, who had a good temper, was also angered by what Shen Jingzhen had said.
However, Shen Shuyi could not accept this. She just said in a gentle voice, "Young Master Wang is a man of good character, pure in nature, and loyal. Madam, don't worry. I believe that after this incident, everyone can tell the character of Young Master."
These words did not mention any of his own faults, but they did ease Mrs. Wang's mind.
Madam Wang sighed, and looked at Shen Shuyi with a more intimate look, and said in a gentle voice: "I heard Huiyan say that you have had a hard time these years. It is amazing that you are so sensible, smart and sensible."
"Madam, you are too kind." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.
Madam Wang said again, "If Huiyan hadn't persuaded me this time, I would never have come to the Shen Mansion. But since Minister Shen said that Shen Jingzhen intended to apologize in public, it would be arrogant of me not to come."
"Third sister has been praying to Buddha for many days. I believe she has already had an epiphany. Shuyi would like to thank Madam for her generosity and giving Third sister this opportunity to repent."
The group of people chatted with each other, and it didn't take long before they reached the seat for the ladies.
Shen Shuyi and several of the Shen family's descendants went back and forth several times, and most of the guests had already arrived.
There was a lot of hustle and bustle in front of the Shen Mansion. Fortunately, Zhang Jinping and Qin Xuerong were well prepared. The servants, attendants and slaves each led the carriages to stop and leave.
Therefore, although it was a bit crowded, the scene was not chaotic.
At noon, after the guests congratulated Old Madam Shen, they took their seats one after another. There was no need for Shen Shuyi and other female relatives to continue entertaining them at the door. Shen Qinghan, the housekeeper and others stayed at the door for a while longer.
Shen Jingchuan stood beside Old Madam Shen and bowed to everyone: "Thank you all colleagues for coming to my house today to celebrate my mother's birthday..."
Madam Shen also said: "As an old woman, I shouldn't have mobilized so many people, but I thought of Jingchuan's care for many years, so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all, so I held this banquet."
"The Shen family will always remember your kindness and care for us. We will also use this as an incentive to go through fire and water for your majesty, the people, and Daqian!"
