Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

"Pfft." Shen Caizi and Shen Chenxiang laughed at the same time.

Shen Caizi coughed twice and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief to hide her smile. Shen Chenxiang was the only legitimate son of the Marquisate, and was called the little overlord of the Marquisate. He didn't care about concubines. He just covered his stomach and laughed. While laughing, he kept repeating: "Green tea can be used to wash the toilet. Second sister, you are too stingy."

Aunt Du certainly understood what they meant, but she didn't expect Xu Wenwan to sing the same tune as them. Her face turned red and white with anger, and she didn't know how to respond. Shen Wenbin and Shen Liuye were full of indignation, but because of their low status, their aunts didn't say anything, so they didn't dare to cross the line and stand up to get angry at the mistress.

Shen Shen stared at the three people opposite her, and saw the changes in their faces. She felt frustrated but dared not say anything. She felt secretly happy: I will not pretend in this mansion anymore. What a bullshit pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, that is a trick used by people who are more powerful than themselves. Facing a concubine and two illegitimate sons, I am the legitimate daughter of the mansion, a top student who graduated from a 985 university, what the hell is the use of pretending to be a pig. I am the tiger, no, it should be Dongxiang, no, it should be the most awesome existence in the world.

When Mrs. Shen heard her second daughter mention the word "cistern", although she felt it was a little crude, she felt relieved all over and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Still wanting to give the Marquis face, Madam Shen pretended to be angry with Shen Shen with a stern face: "Shen'er, don't say such vulgar words again in the future."

"Oh. My daughter said that the toilet is vulgar. What's wrong with it? The tea art is perfect..."

"God."

Shen Qingming interrupted Shen Shen before she finished. He had no idea that his daughter was so good at learning yin and yang.

Hearing her father speak, Shen Shenshen didn't dare to say much. She stuck out her tongue at her mother. She glanced at Shen Chenxiang giving her a few thumbs up and suddenly felt quite proud.

At this time, the maid outside the house announced that Aunt Li was waiting outside. Shen Qingming let her in. Everyone's attention was immediately diverted and the awkwardness in the room disappeared.

Aunt Li walked into the room wearing a short-sleeved blouse with Suzhou embroidery and a light yellow brocade swirl pattern gauze embroidered skirt. She immediately noticed that the atmosphere was not right. But she was very clear about her identity as an aunt, and never relied on her status as a concubine given by the queen to be spoiled and domineering. Even if she found that the atmosphere was not right, she did not make any noise or say too much. She went forward to pay her respects to the marquis and his wife, and then sat aside to slowly sip tea.

Seeing that everyone was present, Madam Shen called in her personal maid Huang and asked, "Would mother like to have dinner with us?"

Huang Ma Ma knew the daily routine and replied, "Madam, someone from the old lady's courtyard has replied, telling the masters to have their meals on their own."

Madam Shen nodded and turned to look at her husband: "Sir, would you like to go into the inner room now?" Seeing Shen Qingming nod, she instructed Madam Huang: "Get ready, and we'll serve dinner when the Marquis comes out of the shower."

Nanny Huang bowed and left as instructed.

The two masters of the Marquis' Mansion entered the inner hall one after another.

The inner hall has two entrances and is decorated splendidly and luxuriously. All the beds, cabinets and other furnishings in the room are made of the finest red sandalwood and are exquisitely carved.

There is a large carved bed against the wall at the back of the room. The bedding on the bed is made of the finest Shayun brocade, soft and skin-friendly. Opposite the bed is a screen, separating the outer room where the master lives. There is a dressing table and a storage cabinet against the wall in the outer room. There is a small round table with four small stools in the middle of the room. There are shelves in the appropriate positions in the two rooms, and the shelves have precious vases, jade carvings, gold and silver wares, antique decorations, etc.

Madam Shen personally helped her husband take off his coat. As Shen Qingming took it off, he said to his wife, "Madam, why did you suddenly tell Shen'er about the marriage proposal from the Duke of Yunsheng's Mansion today?"

Xu Wenwan smiled: "I knew that the Marquis would ask. Although marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words, it is still my daughter's own life with her husband's family. I still have to discuss it with Shen'er in advance. After all, she is already 18 years old. I will try my best to let her make her own decisions, so as to avoid her unhappy life in the future, and our parents' inner torment and regret will be in vain. Look, my Lord, Shen'er is really a person with her own ideas. She insisted on looking for our ideal husband."

Shen Qingming changed into his regular outer shirt and said, "Shen'er... since she woke up from the accident, I feel that she has changed a lot."

"My Lord, have you discovered it? I have noticed it, too. But... as long as she is still a god, why should we be bothered by it? Also, my mother is urging the second young lady to get married. My Lord, please take some time to talk to my mother and let her rest assured." After saying that, she saw her husband change his coat and immediately said to Lian He who was waiting outside the house, "Bring in the water for washing your face."

Lianhe carried the silver basin filled with water into the inner hall, placed it on the rosewood washstand and left. Madam Shen stepped forward, wrung out the handkerchief and handed it to her husband. Shen Qingming took it and wiped his face. After returning the cotton handkerchief to Madam Shen, he walked to the silver basin to wash his hands and spoke at the same time.

"Madam, you are right. As long as Shen'er is still our daughter, that's all. Madam is really thoughtful. After dinner, I will go to Daishan Courtyard to look for my mother. Today, I will stay in the main courtyard. As for this marriage, although it depends on the second young lady's opinion, the parents' orders are also important. If the parents think the marriage is good, then we should decide it. The children can slowly develop their feelings."

Mrs. Shen nodded gently, looking at Shen Qingming with affection in her eyes.

It was the month of osmanthus, and the five osmanthus trees in the main courtyard were in full bloom. Madam Shen loved to smell the fragrance of the flowers, so she asked the maids to open all the windows of the main courtyard hall. When a breeze blew, everyone could smell the rich fragrance of osmanthus even if they were sitting in the hall, which was particularly refreshing on a hot afternoon.

Of course, the fragrance of osmanthus could be smelled today, but because the Shen Shen toilet theory before a cup of tea was too lethal, Aunt Du no longer had the interest to make trouble. She sat in her seat with the two children, drinking tea in a depressed mood.

Aunt Li still didn't say anything and didn't ask anything.

Shen Shenshen knew that Aunt Du was planning to do something bad again, but she was not afraid, and neither were the other two siblings.

The three siblings were whispering to each other in the hall.

"Second sister, I went to the Prince's Mansion to see Zhixi today. Is she okay?" Shen Caizi is always polite and considerate, just like a smaller version of Xu Wenwan.

Shen Shen held his chin and replied weakly: "Very good, there is no better time than now."

"It's Xi'en's birthday next month. Remember to invite Zhixi to your house for the banquet."

"Eldest sister, I remember that I have already verbally invited you today, so don't worry about it."

Shen Caizi said with a smile: "Second sister thinks that the eldest sister is too long-winded."

Shen Chenxiang, who was standing by, couldn't hold back any longer and waited until the eldest sister finished speaking before asking, "Did the second sister see Brother Ziyuan today?"
