Xiao Zhan originally didn't want to go to Shen's house, but at Shen Shuqin's request, he went with her anyway.
"When we arrive at the Shen family in a while, if your grandpa and other members of the Shen family say something unpleasant, please bear with it and try your best not to talk back to them. Do you understand?"
On the way to Shen's house, Shen Shuqin gave instructions.
Xiao Zhan nodded.
"Brother, especially grandpa, he is a bit fierce, so you must not quarrel with him." Shen Xinyi also reminded.
Xiao Zhan smiled: "If you can, I'll stay for a while. If you can't, I'll leave. I won't quarrel with them."
"That's good."
Shen Xinyi showed a relieved smile.
The Shen family is located in the First Ring Road. In the imperial capital where every inch of land is precious, a huge courtyard house is worth at least three billion!
The car drove into Shen's house and stopped in the parking lot. He got out of the car and glanced around. Xiao Zhan had the illusion that he was in an ancient palace.
This courtyard is very large, with rockeries, fountains, gardens, covered bridges...
Antique, quiet and elegant, yet luxurious!
"Little aunt, you are here."
Several children aged four to eight ran over to say hello to Shen Shuqin.
Shen Shuqin smiled and touched their faces, and said to Xiao Zhan: "These are the children of your eldest cousin, second cousin, and third cousin. They are already so old. You have to work harder to avoid the children of the younger generations. I’m getting older.”
"I am not related to their parents, and my children are not related to them, so it doesn't matter." Xiao Zhan said casually.
This was the first time he came back to his grandpa's house. He had never met any of his cousins, so what kind of family ties could there be?
Shen Shuqin smiled and led Xiao Zhan and Shen Xinyi towards the main hall of the courtyard.
At this time, in the main hall.
Mr. Shen, the eldest Shen Shuwen and his wife, the second eldest Shen Shushan and his wife, the fifth eldest Shen Shuhua and his wife, the sixth eldest Shen Shuguo and his wife, and a dozen of Xiao Zhan’s cousins, cousins, They are all inquiring.
Mr. Shen, Shen Tianyang, has five sons and two daughters. Xiao Zhan’s mother ranks fourth, and Shen Shuqin ranks seventh.
They were born to Shen Tianyang’s two wives, Shen Shuwen, Shen Shuqing, and Shen Shuqin. These three were born to the eldest wife, and the others were born to the second wife. The eldest wife is no longer alive, but the second wife is still there. Also present at this moment.
They were not waiting to see Xiao Zhan, but waiting for Du Tiansheng, King of Huhai, to visit the Shen family.
"Old Master, Mrs. Shuqin is here with Miss Xinyi and Miss Xinyi's brother."
The butler entered the hall to report.
"Let them come in." Shen Tianyang said calmly.
"Okay, old man."
Soon, Shen Shuqin, Shen Xinyi, and Xiao Zhan entered the main hall.
"Is this the wild child that Shu Qing gave birth to?"
Many people's eyes were focused on Xiao Zhan.
They were all familiar with Shen Xinyi, but this was their first time seeing Xiao Zhan, so they were curious and took a few more looks.
"You can tell at a glance that this wild cousin lives in the middle and lower classes and is not on the same level as us." A young man in his thirties said with disdain.
Others also looked away from Xiao Zhan, showing contempt.
"Old man, second wife."
"Grandpa, grandma."
Shen Shuqin and Shen Xinyi greeted each other politely.
Xiao Zhan stood there, as if there was no one around.
"How presumptuous!" Xiao Zhan's cousin stood up and shouted: "When I see your grandparents, they are still not polite. Do you know the etiquette? Do you have a tutor?"
