When Mu Yuan saw Shen Yuemei get up and leave, his eyes darkened. His wife now only had two husbands, him and Ni Chang, and one servant, Yuan Jiao. When they were in the old house, Yuan Jiao always liked to use this trick to win favor. He didn't expect that she would play this trick in the Shen family now.

Shen Yuemei's long absence also attracted the attention of Shen's mother and Lord Lin.

Mother Shen frowned. She did feel much more relieved since the eldest girl came home, but the management of her own household was hard to describe.

"Yun'er, it's getting late. How about we stop here today?" Seeing that Mother Shen frowned, and seeing how smart Lord Lin was, she didn't care and just stood up to say goodbye.

The servants around her had already prepared everything.

Shen's mother had no choice but to nod and stand up to see them off.

After sending the Lin family away, Shen's mother ordered, "Dayi, go see what's going on with the eldest lady."

"Yes!" A capable woman about the same age as Shen's mother walked quickly towards the door.

At this moment, Mu Yuan took two steps back.

Shen's mother looked at Mu Yuan in confusion, and saw that Mu Yuan was biting his lip and lowering his head, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

As the person who is able to make the Shen family stronger, is there anything that Shen's mother doesn't understand?

She cleared her throat and asked Mu Yuan, "Where is your wife?"

Mu Yuan hesitated for a long time, but finally said, "Mother, maybe Yuan Jiao is sick again, and my wife went to see him."

When Shen's mother heard this, she was unhappy. Mu Yuan was not like this when he was a child. How could he show his ability to win favor in the backyard in front of her? Mei'er has been too far away from the family in recent years, and the backyard lacks discipline. It seems that Lin Hongle must give birth to a legitimate daughter as soon as possible and let Qiao'er move back to the family.

She took a breath, and naturally would not say anything wrong about her daughter. Instead, she put on a stern face and scolded, "As Mei'er's legal husband, if your maid is sick, you should be concerned about her. How can you let Mei'er worry about it?"

Just when he was halfway through his words, he saw tears in Mu Yuan's eyes, and he looked as soft as a boneless person. On the other hand, Ni Chang looked up at the sky in silence with a look of disdain.

Shen's mother was furious, but she saw a woman called Dayi coming over with Xiaofang, the maidservant of her second husband.

"Master." Xiaofang knelt down as soon as she saw Shen's mother and cried, "Master, the fifth young master, he, his face is ruined."

"What?" Shen's mother's face changed when she heard it, and she said majestically, "What's going on?"

"Today, the Fifth Young Master had a few words with Young Master Lin, and somehow this made the Third Young Lady unhappy. So she slapped the Fifth Young Master and casually threw him into the woodshed. When the eldest young lady went to rescue him, the Fifth Young Master was already unconscious, and his face was mostly ruined, like a crumpled painting." Xiaofang said with sobs.

When Shen's mother heard this, she was shocked. She didn't care about Mu Yuan and Ni Chang, and stood up like a gust of wind and walked towards the second husband's yard.

Before they even stepped out of the yard, waves of mournful cries pierced their ears. Shen's mother felt upset, and she winked at Shen Daer, who understood and immediately went to find Shen Yueqiao.

Shen Yueqiao didn't know what was happening here at the moment. She just wanted to make a portrait of her idol to comfort her homesickness.

In Yuenu Country, every daughter of an aristocratic family has a secret guard. Although the Shen family is just a merchant family, they pretend to be cultured and arranged a secret guard for Shen Yueqiao, named An San.

An San watched the Third Miss drawing a portrait of an ugly man, especially the man with a pair of ominous phoenix eyes. He naturally thought that this was what Lin Hongle looked like. He secretly complained in his heart, but it was no wonder that the Third Miss didn't want him since he was so ugly.

Just then, she suddenly straightened up and heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming towards the house.

Shen Yueqiao was about to succeed again, but failed again when Shen Daer suddenly knocked on the door.

She crumpled the paper into a ball in annoyance and opened the door with a dissatisfied look on her face.

"Sophomore? Why are you here? Is it my mother calling me?" Shen Yueqiao asked with a frown.

"Yes, miss." The sophomore nodded calmly.

"Lead the way." Shen's mother told her not to delay, and Shen Yueqiao's anger subsided.
