In the main hall of the Shen family, Shen Chuanhe, wearing a dark brocade robe, sat in the main seat, with Shen Youxing, who was only five years old, playing with him.

Bai Ying held Shen Youhong in her arms and coaxed him. He was weak, and there was not much blood on his face, looking very pitiful. The little guy stared blankly in the direction of Shen Chuanhe, probably wondering in his heart when he could play so intimately with his father like his younger brother.

On the other side were Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong. The two were talking in low voices, and when they looked at Shen Qingyu, there was a look of determination in their eyes.

It seems that they think today that they can use that evil Taoist to kick away this stumbling block.

The last person sitting was the concubine of the Shen family, who was also her third sister, Shen Pingwan.

This person is dull, timid and doesn't like to talk.

During the time when she was injured, because Shen Qingyu was valued by Bai Ying, Shen Pingwan would come to her yard and walk around from time to time. She acted as if she had suffered a great injustice and didn't dare to say a word in front of others.

Aunt Liu stood behind Shen Chuanhe, looking at her son Shen Youxing reciting ancient poems in front of the master, her eyes filled with pride.

Originally, Bai Ying was sitting on one side of Mr. Shen, and the seat of the legitimate daughter Shen Qingyu was on the other side. Now, Shen Xitong was sitting there. She held a cup of tea in her hand and didn't think there was anything wrong with what she was doing.

Anyway, Shen Xitong is favored by her father and has her father's support. What's wrong with taking up a position? She even wants to take the position of Shen Qingyu's legitimate daughter.

Shen Qingyu bowed respectfully and knelt down. Every movement was meticulous, even the curve of her skirt was perfect. "My daughter Qingyu greets father and mother."

Originally, she didn't know how to salute. She had worked hard to practice before she was injured. Even after the injury, she never slacked off. Sometimes, the wound on her back even cracked from practicing, but Shen Qingyu still set strict standards for herself.

Perhaps the original Shen Qingyu had her own shining points that were unknown to the public, but since she came here and her so-called identity as a legitimate daughter was being targeted by others, she had to make some efforts to prevent others from getting away with it.

Bai Ying was very satisfied with her appearance. A legitimate daughter should act like a legitimate daughter. How could the demeanor of a lady from a noble family be compared to those from petty families?

"Get up quickly. Your injuries haven't healed yet. Stop pulling it." Bai Ying said.

Shen Qingyu responded. Her every move showed a noble temperament, which really made Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong hate her.

Shen Chuanhe ignored Shen Qingyu. No matter how well his daughter performed, she was not in his eyes.

Lin Zhi could naturally understand Bai Ying's expression, and she still had to say something. "If I were to say, like nature, like nature, like people. Only after seeing the Second Young Lady did I really know what a real lady from a noble family is. Madam, don't you agree?"

When Aunt Liu heard this, her face instantly turned very ugly. What Lin Zhi said meant that the daughter she gave birth to was a concubine's daughter, not as good as the slut born from Bai Ying's belly. Then they would wait and see from today whose daughter was the most outstanding one. In the future, her daughter would be the apple of the Shen family's eye and the legitimate daughter of the Shen family!

Then just wait and see.

Shen Xitong glared at Shen Qingyu fiercely. She occupied the seat next to Shen Chuanhe and showed no intention of leaving.

"Second sister, why don't you just sit over there."

There was no way she would give up her seat beside Daddy.

"Qing Yu."

Before Shen Qingyu could speak, Bai Ying spoke up, "As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, you should sit next to your mother. Don't you understand this little rule?"

Lin Zhi was very understanding and moved a chair over and placed it next to Bai Ying.

Shen Youhong also smiled and waved to Shen Qingyu, "Sister, come here."

Shen Qingyu smiled gently, "Okay, I'll listen to Hong'er."

Bai Ying also smiled and coaxed Shen Youhong.

Shen Xitong was unwilling to accept this. She just couldn't accept it. Why was she born a concubine's daughter? It was obvious that old woman Mingying had nothing. She was not as talented or beautiful as her mother. Even the daughter she gave birth to was so ugly. Besides, in her father's heart, he would always favor her mother.

Isn't it just relying on his good family background?

A good-for-nothing person, relying on the advantage of his family background, easily got something that she could never reach in her entire life.

Daddy found such a good match for her, but because of her family background, she has to wait another two years!

In two more years, she would become an old maid. What if Master Nanrong forgot about her? What if other women were to have their eyes on Master Nanrong? Shen Xitong could not watch this happen.

Aunt Liu stared at Shen Qingyu, feeling so much hatred in her heart.

What Lin Zhi said just now was like a needle piercing her heart. Now, looking at Shen Qingyu's every move, she felt even colder.

Over the years, the second young lady had basically not received any proper education. At most, she was taught by a nanny hired by Bai Ying for the future of the girls in her family. But how could such a thing be enough to cultivate a noble young lady? She didn't know how many teachers she had hired privately to train Shen Xitong. She finally felt that her daughter had become somewhat capable, but today, she found that she was easily surpassed by Shen Qingyu.

Seeing her daughter's impatient look, Aunt Liu felt a pang of pain in her heart.

It would be enough if Shen Xitong could ever have a little bit of the scheming she had when she was in the Liu family. She was born a concubine's daughter to a lowly maid, and to have the life she has today, she must have suffered so much.

But she would never let her daughter go through everything she had experienced before again.

Aunt Liu's eyes turned, and she suppressed her unhappiness and looked towards Shen Youhong, "Master, do you like the candied haws today?"

Bai Ying's face darkened. In his sight, the little bastard Shen Youxing was standing there in good health, but his son was sick, and it was extremely difficult for him to come out.

Shen Qingyu knew that Aunt Liu deliberately said this to compare the gap between the two children. One was ten years old and still stayed in his mother's yard and seldom went out. He took medicine every day like a medicine jar. Not to mention articles and poems, he had not read many books for enlightenment. The other was born smart and was very outstanding at a young age. Aunt Liu must be very proud of him.

But Shen Youhong didn't know the twists and turns in this, "It's delicious, I like it very much!"
