After more than a month in Dongxiang Kingdom, Shen Shenshen had a general understanding of her family. Her parents had a good relationship and doted on their three children. Her eldest sister, Shen Caizi, was a real lady from a noble family, with a gentle and calm personality, and her looks and talent were the best in the capital.

But it turned out that no matter how much her family cared for her, the original owner had never been close to them.

When they entered the main hall and saw Mrs. Shen sitting in the room, Shen Shenshen immediately let go of his elder sister and bowed respectfully to his mother.

Madam Shen had already seen the two of them walking in, feeling warm in her heart. She asked her second daughter with a smile on her face, "Shen'er, what good things are you doing outside the house today? You look so happy."

Shen Shenshen sat in the seat closest to his mother and started to chatter: "Mother, guess who I met?"

Before Mrs. Shen could even open her mouth, she immediately said, "My daughter met Ziyuan at Heyinlou today. He is so handsome, even more handsome than Xien. By the way, he said he gave her a comb to congratulate her on her recovery."

Zhenying immediately handed over the box with the comb in it. Shen Shenshen kept talking, and his hands were not idle: "Mother, elder sister, do you think it looks good?" Then he showed the comb in his hand to the two of them.

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter who suddenly became close to them and talkative after waking up from a fall and smiled calmly, "You said so much in one breath, how can mother and your elder sister respond? Ziyuan is five years older than you, so you should call him brother. But it's rare to hear our Shen'er praise someone. You often met Zhixi since you were a child, and you are also familiar with Ziyuan. Does our Shen'er like Ziyuan?"

Shen Shen was stunned: Oh my gosh~ Mothers always urge you to get married in every era! Dating Zhu Yanxiao? Well... It's not impossible, but his appearance is the ceiling. Marrying... That's fine, he's so evil, and he's the future prince, how many concubines will he have to take in to balance the forces of all parties? I don't have the time and energy to deal with these trivial matters. It's boring to think about wasting time and life on dealing with all kinds of beautiful women! Wouldn't it be better to use this energy to make money and achieve financial freedom? !

She waved her hands quickly and shook her head at Madam Shen: "Mother, I just said a few words casually. I can't control Brother Ziyuan. There are too many noble ladies in the capital who like him. Forget it, I will just rely on my father and you to be famous. My husband's family is just okay. Besides, the Prince's Mansion has many rules and many human relationships. It's very troublesome to deal with it."

Madam Shen glanced at her, lifted the teacup on the table, wiped the foam off the tea leaves with the lid, took a sip of tea, and said seriously, "Shen'er, some things should not be said outside this courtyard, so as not to cause trouble. And the same goes for Cai Zi."

Although Madam Shen's tone was light, Cai Zi and Shen Shen Shen both heard the warning. Shen Shen especially knew that he had spoken out of turn. He could not bring unnecessary trouble or even disaster to the family that loved him so much, so he stood up with Cai Zi and bowed to his mother earnestly: "My daughter remembers this. Thank you for your teachings, mother."

Mrs. Shen naturally loved her daughters. Educating them was one thing. Seeing the two daughters' serious expressions, she knew that they had taken her words to heart. She put down her teacup and smiled gently, "Bring the new comb you got today to show your mother."

Shen Shen quickly handed over the comb, and Madam Shen took it. Cai Zi, who was standing next to her mother, also came over and stood beside her mother, looking at it carefully: "As soon as you see the green color, you know that your sister chose it herself, right?"

"The eldest sister is smart. I chose her."

Shen Caizi continued, "The things in the Prince's Mansion are really good, and the craftsmanship is so exquisite."

Mrs. Shen also nodded: "It's really good. It matches our Shen'er very well."

The three were talking animatedly when Shen Chenxiang walked in. Seeing what they were saying, she bowed to her mother and came over: "Oh, a green headdress, is this my second sister's headdress?"

Shen Shen said proudly: "Xien, come and see your second sister's vision, isn't it very good?"

But I was deeply moved: I had never realized that everyone here remembered my preferences. They really loved me. The original owner was really blind, such a good family... It doesn't matter, I will protect them for you in the future.

Shen Chenxiang showed a mischievous expression, which perfectly matched the handsome face of the young man: "Second sister went out today and only bought things for herself? Where is my gift? It's ok to forget about me and my elder sister, but you wouldn't forget about our father and mother, right?"

Shen Shenshen acted coquettishly to Madam Shen: "Mother, look at Xien, he is always instigating. Your daughter brought gifts for you all."

After saying that, she glared at Shen Chenxiang and asked Zhenying to take out the tea leaves and distribute them to everyone: "This pack is the best ginseng dragon tongue, with a light and elegant fragrance. It is for mother, and it is most suitable for her noble beauty, gentleness and elegance. This pack is the beautiful red face jade dew, the rose tea that nourishes the skin is most suitable for the eldest sister, and the eldest sister will definitely be the most beautiful bride next year. This pack of Dayi ripe black tea is for Xien, my brother has a heavy workload, and Pu'er ripe tea is the most refreshing, and his academic performance will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."

The gift was very ordinary, but when Shen Shenshen said this, the three masters, including the maids and nannies serving around them, were stunned, and the whole main hall was silent.

The words just now were said by the introverted and somewhat stupid second daughter? When did she become so talkative? When did she want to be so close to everyone?

Standing in the main hall where one could hear a pin drop, Shen Shenshen felt a little regretful, feeling that he had made a big mistake. Well, now even the servants in the mansion began to doubt him.

Suddenly, Huang Ma's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, Madam Du, Madam Li, the third young master, and the fifth young lady are here."

Madam Shen immediately retracted her thoughts, suppressed her shock, and said softly, "Come in."

After the four people came in, they found that the atmosphere in the room was not right. Aunt Du took a keen look and felt that it must be the second young lady's stupidity that caused everyone to be silent awkwardly. She felt balanced in her heart: Oh, this second young lady, this is the nth time that she has made the relationship between her mother and siblings so stiff. I don't know whether it is Xu Wenwan's misfortune or my blessing.

Everyone bowed to Mrs. Shen. The three siblings also stood up and greeted each other with their aunt and sister-in-law. Then everyone sat down.

When Madam Shen was asking the concubines about their daily lives, Shen Chenxiang suddenly leaned close to Shen Shen and whispered, "Second sister, you are different."

"Huh?" Shen Shenshen pretended to be surprised, but he sighed in his heart: As expected, one should not get carried away when one is too proud.

"Second sister, your appearance has changed a bit, and your speech and behavior have also changed a lot." Shen Chenxiang paused: "Although we were not very close before, we have been together day and night for so many years, I believe that mother and eldest sister have also discovered the problem."
