Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Shen Qingming was moved when he heard his daughter's sudden words. His daughter, who was originally introverted and silly, could understand his difficulties in the court and said something heartwarming. He couldn't help but look at Madam Shen beside him and said, "Madam, you have taught your children very well."

Mrs. Shen had been smiling all day, and hearing her husband's sincere praise suddenly made the woman who had devoted her whole life to the inner house feel that all her efforts were worth it. And all these changes began when the second daughter woke up from the accident.

Shen Qingming continued, "As a father, I also think that the lifelong affairs of my children are very important. Since Shen'er doesn't have a better idea, let's follow your mother's idea."

"Oh, father." Shen Shenshen replied weakly, bowed and sat down.

The day after tomorrow will be her social demise: any financial sponsor, any fiancé, any financial freedom, any car and house, all get out of here.

Shen Qingming thought she was just being childish because she was embarrassed, and looked at Shen Shenshen without taking it seriously. He took a sip of the tea on the table, then asked his eldest daughter.

"How is Zi'er's wedding dress being prepared?"

"Father, I'm almost done. My second sister came up with a brilliant idea a few days ago, and I think it's great. So I'm going to embroider another one now."

"Oh?" Lord Shen and his wife both looked surprised. Their second daughter also knew how to embroider?

"Father, mother, please allow me to keep it a secret for a while. I will give you a surprise when the wedding dress is embroidered. It will definitely be a wonderful one." Shen Caizi, the eldest daughter of the marquis's family, who was wearing a light purple gauze skirt inside and a dark purple long collar outside, answered playfully.

The eldest daughter has always done everything perfectly and properly since she was young, which makes people feel at ease, let alone her own marriage. The Marquis and his wife looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

When Shen Caizi sat down, she glanced at Shen Shenshen, wanting to see her second sister's reaction to what she had just said, but she found that she had no expression at all, and didn't even look at her, as if she hadn't heard the conversation at all.

"Father, Xi'en has finished his homework today. The teacher also praised his son for his recent progress in policy essays and said he has the talent of a master." Shen Chenxiang knew that his father was about to ask about his homework, so he immediately stood up and saluted to reply.

Shen Qingming said happily: "Good, good, good. Our mansion has always been cultivating literature, and being well-read is the foundation for the prosperity of our family." He looked at his three legitimate children, and was very satisfied after looking left and right.

The eldest daughter is the most beautiful and talented in the capital, and the family she is about to marry is also a noble family. The second daughter was originally the most unsociable and least favored child, but after an accident, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. She became smart and cheerful. Looking closely, she looks more and more like her stunning wife. The legitimate son is very talented in the Imperial College. When he meets the university scholars in the court, he praises this legitimate son. He is also the only one among the many officials' children in the capital who can compete with the legitimate eldest son of the prince's mansion.

The more Shen Qingming looked at her, the more satisfied he was. He thought that one should marry a virtuous wife, and he felt that his wife had taught him well.

At this time, everyone in the house heard the maid standing outside the house announce: "My Lord, Madam, Aunt Du and the young masters and young ladies have arrived."

"Come in," Shen Qingming said with an undiminished smile.

Aunt Du wore a smoky pink silk double-nest cloud goose silk skirt, and a crescent-shaped white brocade long collar. Her waist was gracefully outlined, and she walked into the inner hall with her waist twisted. Her hair was still slanted in a low bun hanging behind her ears, and she inserted a pure gold hairpin. The tassels of the hairpin were placed on the crescent-shaped white brocade, which looked particularly luxurious.

Shen Shen watched her enter the main hall gracefully and couldn't help but sigh: If it weren't for her mother, Aunt Du would have been the most beautiful woman in the mansion. She was one of the most beautiful women in the whole capital. And she was very good at using her advantages. A concubine is a concubine, she needs to be beautiful and charming, and can't be as pretentious as Madam Shen. Shen Shen thought as he watched Aunt Du lead her two children to pay their respects.

Aunt Du was keenly aware that the Marquis was in a very good mood today, and her mind was spinning rapidly: What did these three legitimate children do to make the Marquis so happy? Guessing was useless, it would be more straightforward to ask questions directly.

"I see that the Marquis is in a very good mood. Is it because of some happy event in the court?"

"How can a woman in the inner house make irresponsible comments on the affairs of the court?" Shen Qingming softened his tone and continued, "Madam has taught her children well. My children are all excellent, which is very comforting."

Mrs. Shen hurriedly stood up and performed the equal greetings between husband and wife: "My Lord, you are so kind." Then she sat down in the main seat.

Aunt Du was gritting her teeth in hatred towards Xu Wenwan. She always felt that she was just taking advantage of her family background to snatch her position as the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. Otherwise, how could she have been the mistress of the Marquis's mansion since she was a child? She still smiled sweetly and said in a teasing tone, "The lady is very good. She is good to the children, and also to Aunt Li and me."

Madam Shen could not stand Aunt Du's hypocrisy. How could a daughter of a rich family not know the thoughts and methods of these aunts? Being born in a small family, she was not worthy of being on the stage. But a mistress of a family still had to have the bearing of a lady. She smiled gently and said, "Aunt Du, you are too kind."

Shen Shenshen, who was vindictive, didn't want to let Aunt Du get away with it. He raised the teacup and smelled the tea leaves, then interrupted at the right time: "Mother, this is good tea."

Mrs. Shen glanced at her second daughter. She was in a good mood today and was very supportive. She lifted the teacup and sniffed it: "Well, it's really good tea, but it's cold. Lianhe, go and get a pot of hot tea."

Lianhe hurried to change the tea.

How could Shen Qingming not understand the ambiguity between the mother and daughter? However, he rarely saw this side of his dignified wife. He turned his head and looked at the lady beside him with some interest. Moreover, he never interfered in the affairs of the inner house, which was one of the reasons why Aunt Du occasionally felt fearless towards the mistress.

In her previous life, Shen Shenshen was a salesperson for high-priced financial products, and she made a living by reading people's expressions. Seeing that her father didn't say anything and was looking at her mother with interest, she decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Mother, you are too lenient with your servants. You didn't even change the green tea when it got cold. You kept it for the New Year? This annoys your daughter."

Mrs. Shen naturally didn't know that the joke was kept for the New Year, but how could she not know the meaning of her daughter's whole sentence? It was a rare opportunity to target Aunt Du, so she might as well vent her anger today.

"Shen'er, you don't have to pour out the cooled tea. You can use it to clean the tea set."

"Yes, yes, mother." Shen Shen's statue suddenly remembered something, his eyes sparkled, and he said seriously: "Tea water is very effective in removing odors, and you can also save it to clean the toilet."
