This is so similar to Xiao Ming in his previous life. I'm afraid he was mostly used and less affectionate.
Shen Yunchu suppressed the coldness in his eyes and said obediently: "Grandma, don't worry, Yun Chu has his own sense of propriety and will not cause the Shen family to lose face."
Seeing that she understood what she meant, the old lady smiled kindly and said, "These are the wild vegetables sent by the farm early in the morning. They are said to be able to promote blood circulation and remove blood clots. Please eat some more, first lady."
Shen Yunchu smiled gratefully, silently stuffed it into her mouth, chewed numbly, and even tasted a bitter taste. Her last hope for family love disappeared in this slow chewing.
She suddenly remembered the domineering words Xun Yang said before leaving, and suddenly felt that Xun Yang was not so shameless. At least he was willing to support her. There was indeed no one in the huge Kyoto who treated her better than Xun Yang. Got it!
Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Yunchu's lips softened suddenly, but she didn't even realize it.
After they finished lunch, Mrs. Shi from Duke Wenzhong's mansion arrived with her granddaughter Shi Dingrou. Daoxiang Village suddenly became lively, and people from the two mansions met separately.
Mrs. Shi is in her sixties, with a bunch of jewelry hanging on her head. She looks extremely wealthy, with her eyebrows raised high, and she looks very proud. However, the thick layer of powder on her face really ruins the scenery and makes her look dull. Yun Chu was the aunt of the Shen family. She suppressed the smile in her heart and took the lead in blessing Mrs. Shi.
However, in her eyes, Shen Yunchu, a concubine who never got married, was simply an unlucky person, or at least had a low destiny, so she didn't even bother to give Shen Yunyan a look, but instead pulled Shen Yunyan affectionately. His little hands were full of praise, which made Shen Yunyan feel superior.
Shen Yunhong looked at her sarcastically and whispered: "Sister, Mrs. Shi seems to have some misunderstandings about you."
Shen Yunchu didn't say anything, and didn't even show her expression. She ducked away obediently, trying not to get into Mrs. Shi's sight. She didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of old woman who only flattered the powerful.
When it was Shen Yunhong's turn to greet her, she tidied herself up a little, hoping to say something nice. She bowed down with a smile on her face. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shi dodged away and said with a mocking smile, "This Shen Sanniang, who announced her maiden name at Xiangshanfang, is probably going to marry into Prince Xiang's palace, right? My old lady can't stand your worship."
Unexpectedly, rumors spread so fast, and Shen Yunhong's reputation as a good friend might be spread by those talkative women! Shen Yunchu turned to look at the old lady, and saw that she still looked calm and didn't say much. When Shi Dingrou came to greet her, he was much colder and did not reward her with trinkets as usual.
Shen Yunhong felt shameless and tore the handkerchief, wishing to tear off Mrs. Shi's mouth. After tearing for a long time, she suddenly glared at Shen Yunchu fiercely, her eyes seemed to say: "It's all because of that bitch, That makes me laugh so generously."
She didn't need to be polite at all to this concubine who was angry with her about everything. She asked with a smile: "Does Mrs. Shi also have some misunderstandings about the third sister?"
"You—" Shen Yunhong was furious. After looking at the disdainful looks of everyone, he finally calmed down and swallowed down the dirty words he used to scold Shen Yunchu.
