A maid rushed into the room and was shocked to see the mess on the floor. She knelt down at the door and said, "Madam, the eldest aunt is bringing the young master to our Wuhe Courtyard."
Bai Ying seemed a little flustered, "Hurry up and get someone to clean up the ground."
She smashed these things when she was angry just now. She had never expected that Shen Ruyan would come back. Wouldn't it be a joke for others to see this mess?
Thinking of Shen Ruyan's previous expression, Bai Ying felt a little disgusted.
"Mom, if we ask someone to clean up now, won't we be waiting for our aunt to laugh at us?" Shen Qingyu stood up and picked up the bluish-white thin-glazed porcelain pot in front of Bai Ying. It shone in his hand and looked very valuable. Then Shen Qingyu smashed the pot. It fell to the ground with a thud and broke into pieces. The boiling hot tea inside also splashed onto Shen Qingyu's skirt.
At the same time, Bai Ying screamed, "You spendthrift girl, that is a thin porcelain pot I brought from my mother's home, it is worth a fortune, why did you have to smash it!"
Shen Qingyu smiled complacently and ignored her.
Then, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a woman in luxurious crimson robe walked in. Her hair was covered with gold ornaments, making her look dazzling and extremely luxurious.
Behind him was Master Xiao Qi, with whom he had just parted not long ago. He walked lazily and looked as if he didn't care about the world. Shen Qingyu saw a smile on his face. This seemingly free and unrestrained Master Xiao Qi was brought by his own mother to a place he didn't want to go.
Bai Ying suppressed her anger and forced a smile when she saw Shen Ruyan, "Why bother you to come to my place again, elder sister? When elder sister returns to her parents' home, I should go to greet her in person."
I have already said such polite words just now, and I will say them again now.
Bai Ying hadn't said she was annoyed yet, but Shen Ruyan was annoyed by hearing it.
As soon as she came in, she saw the fragments of the blue-and-white thin-glazed porcelain pot on the ground, conspicuously mixed with a pile of broken porcelain pieces, which made Shen Ruyan very sad.
You have to know that in her heart, everything in the Shen family belongs to her half. Such a valuable thing was smashed by Bai Ying, and she must be cursing in her heart.
Shen Ruyan gathered her sleeves, fearing that the broken porcelain pieces would stain her clothes. She raised her hand to adjust the gold hairpin on her hair. The peacock tail carved on the hairpin was almost half the size of a fist, which showed that it was priceless.
"My third sister-in-law is very busy, so I have to come and see her in person. When I was still a married woman, I took care of all the affairs in the mansion for a while. When the old master was alive, he often praised me."
Every time Shen Ruyan came back to the Shen family, she always liked to talk about some things that happened when she was a girl in the Shen family. As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, she was very favored by the old master. In her opinion, those were all honors.
But to Bai Ying's ears, it was very harsh. No matter how favored she was, or how much she had managed the Shen family, now all the affairs of the Shen family were in her hands. The old man was gone, and Shen Ruyan, a married woman, could it be possible that she still wanted to take charge of her mother's family affairs?
She is so arrogant because she relies on her status as the prefect's wife.
But Bai Ying couldn't afford to offend him. Not only her, but even Shen Chuanhe had to give him some face.
At that time, Shen Chuanhe was not favored by Old Master Shen and could not get the position of head of the family.
The fact that he has become the head of the Shen family today is not only due to the support of Bai Ying's family, but also the support of Shen Ruyan, who married into an official family. This also allowed Shen Ruyan to return to the Shen family with her spine straight, greedily calculating everything in the mansion.
Bai Ying sneered, but did not even get up. He gave Lin Zhi a look and asked someone to clean up the messy room.
When the maid retreated, Shen Qingyu stepped forward leisurely and bowed to Shen Ruyan. Her posture was dignified and elegant, without any mistakes. "Niece Qingyu greets my aunt."
Shen Ruyan did not show any impatience, but showed a bit of surprise, and personally helped Shen Qingyu up, "This is Qingyu, it's been a long time since we last met, you have grown into a big girl, it must be that my third sister-in-law has raised you well, a girl with such temperament is rare."
Apart from Shen Qingyu's appearance, she still has some good points.
The way she behaved made it seem like the person who had scolded and insulted Shen Qingyu before was not her.
She was really a two-faced and cunning woman. Shen Qingyu stood up and a piece of porcelain rolled out from under her skirt. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a broken piece of porcelain from the bluish-white thin glaze pot.
Shen Ruyan also recognized him, and her expression froze a little.
Xiao Qingye, who was standing behind him, watched this scene and laughed secretly in his heart. He looked at Shen Qingyu silently. He wanted to see what this little girl with a sharp tongue wanted to do.
Shen Qingyu's smile remained, her eyes were clear, and she seemed to be speaking unintentionally: "Qingyu heard that the eldest aunt came here specially for my sister's coming-of-age ceremony. The eldest aunt is far away in Suzhou, and the journey must have been very hard. Qingyu was very touched. The eldest aunt was originally the eldest daughter of the family, and was highly valued by the old master. Now as the wife of the governor of Suzhou, she is quite prestigious among the noble families, and she is willing to bless my concubine sister's coming-of-age ceremony. It is really an honor for my whole Shen family. Qingyu is grateful on behalf of my eldest sister."
Xiao Qingye laughed and cursed in his heart, this clever girl, she interrupted her elder sister's dream of coming-of-age ceremony with just a few words, she is really smart.
Shen Ruyan's body stiffened, and the decent smile on her face was about to fail to maintain.
Shen Qingyu's seemingly respectful words actually concealed a mystery. Every word was meant to elevate Shen Ruyan's status, but she lowered herself to come for a concubine's coming-of-age ceremony. If word of this got out, to put it nicely, it would be Shen Xitong's great fortune to have the favor of the wife of the governor. To put it bluntly, it could be said that there was collusion between officials and businessmen.
Her master was about to take the three-year official assessment. If she failed at this critical moment and caused her master to be reported, her own Xiaoqi would be targeted again during her stay in the Xiao family.
As a mother, she had put in so much effort, but she had to give birth to such a bad boy, who made her upset every day.
