532. Chapter 532 The Arrival of Princess Lanling - Self-defeating [04]
Seeing the various doubts flashing across her face, Shen Can was extremely proud. This girl finally had a moment where she didn't understand. She had to ask her father for advice.
She thought that she would cooperate with Mrs. Liu to control her return to the head of the family, but she was not in her calculations.
Besides, the Liu family just sent a daughter to the palace, so why should they be proud of it?
Seeing Mrs. Liu's immediately arrogant expression made her feel off-putting. Even if they were allowed to make a fuss, he just stood there to take in the scene and then left without even drinking a glass of wine.
Shen Mingzhu was about to ask him, but when she saw the proud look on his brows and eyes, she stopped. Naturally, she refused to ask him, and just said lightly.
"Since the eldest princess is here to see the night-blooming cereus, the ephemeral flower is in the madam's place, but not in the daughter's place. Therefore, it is natural for the madam to entertain herself, and the daughter is not responsible."
Shen Can didn't expect that she would not ask, but there was nothing he could do. If she didn't ask, he couldn't force her to ask, so he could only put away his pride.
"But the eldest princess said she wanted to come to the house to see you, how could you not give her face?"
Shen Mingzhu snorted, didn't Mrs. Liu take advantage of the eldest princess's visit to take advantage of the opportunity and take back the housekeeper's rights?
If Mrs. Liu wants this housekeeper power, Shen Mingzhu can naturally return it to her, but she won't be forced to do so. Besides, Shen Mingzhu's situation has been laid out, and it would be a pity for Mrs. Liu if she doesn't want to go back.
"Then my daughter must cheer up and entertain." As Shen Mingzhu said this, she became less and less enthusiastic, as if she was about to see off her guests.
Shen Can was furious. This was his own home, and his daughter was treating him in a business-like manner. How could this be unreasonable!
But he had no choice. He had to stand up against his will and said, "Okay, as long as you know, I'll make some preparations later. I'll go and get busy. If you don't understand anything, just ask your fourth aunt, or come and ask Me too."
While he was talking, looking at Shen Mingzhu's face, she had already stood up and walked two steps, obviously wanting to send him out.
Shen Can became more and more angry that she was so anxious to drive him away!
After Shen Can left, Shen Mingzhu was thinking about Princess Lanling, but she didn't sleep well all night.
She didn't know why. She had always been very clear-eyed, so why did she care so much about Princess Lanling? Maybe it was the tragic death of the eldest princess in her previous life that was too shocking. Even after a lifetime, Princess Lanling still survived in this life. Okay, it made her a little bit sad.
It's just that he and Xiao Xian will not help Xiao Che win the throne in this life. History has changed. I wonder if Princess Lanling will make the same mistakes again.
But why did the eldest princess come to the Shen Mansion?
It is absolutely impossible to come just to see the epiphyllum, and it is even less likely to come to help Mrs. Liu seize the power of the family. That is unrealistic.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Shen Mingzhu's mind - she was probably here to propose marriage!
If this is the case, then he must make a plan to ensure that the eldest princess cannot be a smooth matchmaker, otherwise he may offend the eldest princess no matter what he says.
I didn't expect that King Yan and Xiao Yu were so capable that they would ask the eldest princess to come forward!
Three days later, the Shen Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights to welcome the eldest princess.
The servants in the house were busy coming and going, looking very orderly.
