Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

After Shen Shenshen knelt in the ancestral hall of the Marquis' Mansion for two hours, he was helped to stand up by Lu Hen and limped back to the Qinghua Garden.

I had a tiring day today. My mood was like a roller coaster and I was extremely exhausted. I drank a few sips of tea, washed up simply, and went to bed.

Mrs. Shen loved her daughter after all. When she heard the servants report that the second daughter had gone back to the courtyard and slept without dinner, she felt very distressed. She stepped on the moonlight to personally see her second daughter. Seeing her bright face sleeping in bed, she was in good health and breathed a sigh of relief. She told the servants to serve her wholeheartedly and then returned to the main courtyard.

Today, she was amazed at the sight of the golden hairpins with oriental pearls on her second daughter's head. The hairpins were priceless and definitely not ordinary. As a wife and mother, she immediately understood that Prince Zhu liked her second daughter and launched a fierce pursuit.

It seems that the two children have feelings for each other. If Shen'er could marry into Prince Zhong's mansion... she would be satisfied as a mother, but the Marquis doesn't want to.

The next day, Daishan Courtyard.

Yesterday, Shen Shen was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours. The old lady knew about it immediately and said to Nanny Gui, "Shen Shen was alone in a room with that prince? How could the Marquis's house raise such a shameful daughter? Since my wife has punished me, I can't say much. Otherwise, two hours is too light. The punishment should be at least twelve hours. Humph, she got it easy."

During today's "Grandma Wants Me to Get Up Early" event, the old lady didn't even give Shen Shenshen a good face, and she also scolded everyone in a sarcastic tone: "As the master of the Marquis' Mansion, you must always put the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion first. The daughters in the mansion are not married, and the daughters-in-law are not married. If you humiliate the integrity of the Marquis' Mansion because of your own personal morality, who can bear this responsibility? When the time comes, don't blame Grandma for not recognizing your relatives."

"Yes, we will follow mother's (old lady, grandmother's) teachings." They all bowed.

Shen Shen was unhappy: "Old woman, you can just report my ID card directly. It seems that I have to hurry up and move out of the Marquis' Mansion according to the plan."

Under the condemning gazes of the crowd, uh, mainly the three people from Aunt Du, and the still arrogant attitude of the "shameless" Shen Shenshen, he ended the greetings from Daishan Court.

The old lady also couldn't understand this second granddaughter. In the past, she would never do such shameless things as secretly meeting with men outside her family. After making mistakes and being reprimanded, she would kneel down and admit her mistakes, blaming herself and crying. But today, she didn't care about the reprimand, and looked up, not even looking at her distant nieces, as if the whole mansion had nothing to do with her.

The old lady hated the ugly and fat Shen Shenshen even more. No... Why was the second granddaughter getting more and more beautiful, and even more beautiful than the eldest daughter Shen Caizi?

After paying their respects, the group returned to the main courtyard. Madam Shen called Shen Shen and rejected her eldest daughter and legitimate son who wanted to follow her, and only let her follow her into the main courtyard.

"Please sit down." Mrs. Shen said, and sat down in the main seat.

Seeing her second daughter sitting down, Mrs. Shen didn't say anything and looked at her carefully for a long time.

"Mother?" Shen Shenshen felt a little strange being looked at.

"Shen'er is becoming more and more beautiful. No wonder Prince Zhu likes you so much."

"Huh? Mother, what do you mean?" Shen Shenshen was shocked. Was her kiss with Zhu Yanxiao known to others? No way, the door and windows of the private room were closed at that time, and no one else should have seen it.

Madam Shen smiled beautifully: "Are you still hiding this from mother? The oriental pearl and gold hairpin you brought back yesterday is very valuable. How could Prince Zhu give you such an expensive gift if he doesn't like you?"

Shen Shen swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "Is that golden hairpin very valuable?"

"Probably... it's worth ten years' worth of taxes from a wealthy county in Dongxiang."

"..." Shen Shen was completely dumbfounded. This... was too exaggerated. No wonder Mu Yejun also leaned over slightly, turned around and left immediately after seeing the hairpin.

Madam Shen looked at her expression and asked gently, "Shen'er, do you like Prince Zhu? Otherwise, mother would think it inappropriate to accept such an expensive gift."

"I like it. But..." The hairpin shocked her too much.

"As long as you like it. Next, leave it to mother. Mother will definitely make Shen'er the Crown Prince's consort."

"Mother, this... My daughter hasn't decided to get married yet, let's talk about it later." She rolled her eyes and said, "Some time ago, you personally wrote a letter to invite Mu Yejun to meet your daughter. I guess the Duke of Yunsheng knew that the Marquis's Mansion was interested in marriage. A few days later, the Marquis's Mansion directly engaged with the Prince Zhong's Mansion, which would directly offend the Queen."

"The Duke of Yunsheng's Mansion... The Marquis' Mansion is out of consideration. Mother knows that Mu Yejun does have many confidantes. How can I let you marry such a man? Mother will discuss these matters with the Marquis. Shen'er just needs to be prepared to get married. Shen'er just said that she likes Prince Zhu. Is that true?"

"Yes. Just a daughter..."

"Let's settle this." Mrs. Shen's aura as the mistress of the house did not allow anyone to refute it.

Shen Shen was about to speak when she heard Lian He come in and say, "Madam, the maidservant beside Miss Zhu Zhixi of Prince Zhong's mansion wants to see you."

"Miss Zhu Qi's maid? Come in."

A slender maid dressed in the palace maid's skirt entered the room, bowed to Madam Shen and Shen Shen politely, and said, "Madam, Miss Seven asked me to bring a gift to apologize for not going to Heyinlou to learn mathematics with Miss Two yesterday."

Shen Shenshen's eyes lit up: "Zhi Xi brought a gift so early? Show it to me quickly."

The maid said very respectfully: "Second Miss Shen, the gift is a bit big. It is in the carriage outside the mansion. Seventh Miss specifically asked Second Miss to go to the carriage to take a look."

"Zhi Xi just likes to be mysterious. Mother, your daughter will go and take a look." She stood up and saluted, taking a step forward.

Mrs. Shen had no doubts, but was surprised that the gift was delivered too early. But thinking that the carriage was parked at the gate of the mansion, it was safe, she nodded and agreed.

After the maid bowed and said goodbye to Madam Shen, she led Shen Shen and his servant to the gate of the marquis' mansion.

It was just the hour of Chen, and the sky was just beginning to turn pale. Not far from the entrance of the mansion, a most ordinary carriage from the Prince Zhong's mansion was waiting. The driver was nowhere to be seen, and only the carriage was waiting there alone.

Shen Shen immediately took two quick steps. Just as Lu Hen was about to catch up, she was stopped by the maid who passed the message: "Young lady, please stay. Miss Seven has ordered that only Miss Shen Er can go to see the gift. We servants are not allowed to see the gift. If anything goes wrong, we servants will not be able to pay for it even with our own lives."

"Luhen, you and this sister wait here, I'll go take a look and come back."

"Yes, Miss." Lu Hen and the maid from the palace were waiting at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Shenshen was intrigued. She knew that the gift was definitely from Ziyuan. He must be apologizing for losing his temper yesterday, so what gift would be in the carriage?

She jumped onto the carriage, and just as she lifted the curtain, she was pulled into the carriage by a man's slender and strong hand.
