Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Shen Chenxiang is a legitimate son and the future heir of a marquisate. His background, appearance, and talent are outstanding in the entire Dongxiang Kingdom. He certainly knows his excellence and is a proud and handsome man of science and engineering. He is too lazy to deal with a concubine in the mansion. He knows very well that Aunt Du just asked him to help her son with his math homework.

How could he possibly teach a bastard's son?

The prince of the Marquis's Mansion responded indifferently with four words: "My aunt, you are too kind." But he did not mention anything about reminding Shen Wenbin, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Shen Shenshen thought: Aunt Du shouldn't be that stupid, right? Is there any other trick?

Sure enough, Shen Wenbin stood up and said to Shen Chenxiang: "Xi'en, although I am one year older than you, the teacher of the Imperial College taught us to be like Confucius and not be ashamed to ask questions. Your mathematics is indeed very good among us. If you have time, please come and ask me for advice. I hope you will be generous in your guidance." His attitude was very sincere.

This is to roast Shen Chenxiang over the fire.

Shen Shenshen understood. If he agreed, this kid would be unwilling. Why should a legitimate son tutor a bastard's lessons? If he didn't agree, he would be so sincere. They are all family. It would seem that he is bullying the bastard with his status as a legitimate son. The Marquis is not good at educating his children. Aunt Du chose the people who were not present to make things difficult for Shen Chenxiang in front of other people?

Aunt Du and her friends are extremely evil-minded.

"My aunt and Licheng don't know." Shen Shenshen said, "Xien is of course willing to teach Licheng mathematics, but I am really too busy. My elder sister will marry into the Ministry of Revenue next year, and will be in charge of the general affairs of the mansion in the future. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue is the place where the money and grain of the entire Dongxiang are allocated. I am about to get engaged, and I also need to know mathematics. I thought I might as well learn it with my elder sister. Xien, please take some time to teach me and my elder sister."

Shen Chenxiang was a very smart science student. She understood what Shen Shenshen said immediately and continued, "Second sister, I really don't have time to teach you and eldest sister about general affairs and mathematics. You go to the Imperial Academy to study every day. After returning home, you have to recite the articles taught by the teachers and write policy papers. You have to prepare for the monthly exams every thirty days, and you have almost no time to eat. How can I have time to teach you mathematics?!"

"Hey~ Shen Xien, you don't even have time to help your sister, right?"

"Let father hire a mathematics teacher to teach you."

"Are there any female mathematics teachers? We are women in the boudoir, how can we stay in the same room with a man outside for a long time?"

"Second sister, when you went to the palace to look for Sister Zhixi, weren't you often in the same room with Brother Ziyuan? Why didn't you avoid it? You just like his good looks."

"We are talking about mathematics, what are you talking about Ziyuan?"

The two of them started bickering as if no one was around, leaving Aunt Du and Shen Wenbin aside.

"what happened?"

The Marquis' voice came from the inner hall. He and his wife came out and saw the two children arguing. Mrs. Shen frowned.

Seeing their parents coming out, the two hurriedly stopped bickering. Shen Chenxiang stood up and told her father the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingming pondered and said, "It is your father and your mother who have neglected the eldest girl's mathematics. How about this, Xien will take one hour every ten days to teach the two sisters the basics of mathematics. When they have learned the basics, they can ask your mother to learn housekeeping from them. Licheng's mathematics also needs to be caught up, but Xien has many classes and it is not easy to divide his energy. I will find a mathematics teacher for Licheng to come to the mansion to teach him individually. As for Ye'er... she is still young, so she doesn't need to learn for the time being. When you need to learn after your marriage is decided, let Licheng teach you the basics first and then discuss it. Let's have dinner."

The Marquis made the final decision and everyone agreed.

The family started to eat in silence without saying a word. Shen Shenshen stole a glance at Aunt Du, Shen Wenbin, and Shen Liuye, and found that none of them were angry. Aunt Du and Shen Wenbin were eating dinner as usual. Shen Liuye looked at him with a probing look, but didn't say anything. He couldn't help but remind himself that Aunt Du and the other three were very shrewd people.

He then secretly glanced at Aunt Li, who had seemed invisible the entire time, and found that she was the same as usual, with no discernible emotion.

After dinner, Mrs. Shen looked at Shenshen and Chenxiang twice more, but finally said nothing.

The group left the main courtyard and bowed to the marquis who came out with them. Shen Qingming hurried towards his mother's courtyard.

At this time, Aunt Du quickened her pace and walked to Shen Chenxiang's side: "It was my fault for being rude today and not thinking carefully. Xien, please don't take it to heart."

Shen Wenbin also stepped forward in time to take over his aunt's words: "Fourth brother, I am sorry for being rude today."

Shen Chenxiang said calmly with that beautiful face: "It's okay."

So Aunt Du said goodbye to Shen Wenbin, Shen Liuye and a few others and returned to the yard.

Shen Shen walked between the two siblings and put his arms around their shoulders as he walked forward intimately, but asked in a low voice: "Has Aunt Du always been so good at handling things? Why didn't I realize it before?"

Shen Chenxiang had never been hugged by a woman before, even though this woman was his second sister. He unhappily moved aside to let Shen Shenshen's hand go before speaking: "Second sister, you were brainless before, you only thought about eating every day, you obeyed Fifth Sister, and you thought everything we said was wrong. Now that you suddenly have a brain, you will find that there are many monsters and demons in the mansion, you just need to observe carefully."

Shen Caizi was also not used to pulling down the arm that Shenshen had placed on her shoulder. "Although the Marquis' Mansion has a simple staff, it does not mean that simple people will not have complicated thoughts. Mother has always managed it carefully, even though..." She paused for a few seconds, as if she was hesitating, and as if she was making up her mind. Finally, she bit her lower lip as if she had made up her mind. "Even if you were pushed down and almost fell to death, mother was trying her best to maintain the calm on the surface."

Shen Shenshen didn't expect that her always gentle elder sister would take the initiative to bring up this matter: "Elder sister, you... know everything?"

Shen Caizi showed a serious expression: "I know, of course I don't know! Second sister, we are not stupid, okay? How could a girl like you fall down and lose your life? Mother was furious in private. Anyone who dares to touch the eldest daughter of the mansion must be behind the scenes."

Shen Shenshen turned and looked at Shen Chenxiang: "You know that too?"

Shen Chenxiang said jokingly: "Who am I? I can guess what happened to you." After saying that, he looked at Shen Shenshen meaningfully.

Shen Shenshen felt so stupid when he saw the two siblings who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar under the sunset: It turned out that you thought you were on the eighth floor and the others were on the first floor, but in fact they were already on the twenty-eighth floor.

Suddenly she felt a little tired and said to the two of them, "Eldest sister, Xien, let's go back."

The three of them said goodbye at the fork in the road and returned to their own yards, leaving only the sky full of rosy clouds and the clouds behind them.
