Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Cheng Jinchu's warning was very useful. Now Sun Manman no longer dared to hang around Cheng Jinchu. She always locked herself in the room on the pretext of feeling unwell. Three days later, the old lady came back.

Old Mrs. Shen arrived around noon, had lunch and took a nap, and then everyone gathered in the old lady's room to talk.

Cheng Jinchu and Shen Yuning stood on the left and right sides of the old lady respectively. They were now the old lady's favorite people. Bai Siyao didn't come because she had begged her brother to take her to the mountain to appreciate the flowers early in the morning. She had originally come to invite Cheng Jinchu, but Cheng Jinchu really didn't want to get up so early.

Everyone was chatting happily when Zhou came, followed by a young man who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Don't blame me for being late, mother-in-law. You looked much thinner during the few days you stayed in the temple to pray for blessings. You must make up for it this time."

There was a smile on Zhou's face. She hadn't been so happy for a long time.

Zhou usually doesn't know how to handle things. Old Mrs. Shen doesn't like this eldest daughter-in-law. Not only does she not give birth to a son, but more importantly, Zhou is the only one who dares to quarrel with her husband, and she always resorts to violence when she is excited.

The old lady was not an official, so naturally she would not care about fairness. She stood by her son unconditionally. Besides, no woman would dare to treat her husband like that. In the eyes of the old lady, it was against the will of heaven.

So, as if it was intentional, when the second son of the Shen family, Shen An, went out to find women, the old lady knew about it and would pretend to comfort Yu and call her son to her side to scold him. But when it was the turn of the eldest son of the Shen family, the old lady would always lecture Zhou, saying that if she hadn't been so fierce, would her son have gone out to find the land of pleasure?

"Come on, sit down!"

The old lady didn't even lift her eyelids.

"Mother-in-law, look, this is my nephew, my eldest brother's youngest son, Zhou Xin. Unknowingly, this kid has grown up. A few days ago, my uncle said that the shop on West Street had no owner, so I will bring my nephew to him to have a look. After all, he is our own, so I can rest assured."

Old Lady Shen had naturally met Zhou's nephew. He basically lived in the Shen Mansion from the age of three to five and was taken care of by Zhou. At that time, they were still in Pingcheng, close to Zhou's mother's home. Zhou could not give birth to a son, so she gave all her love for a son to this nephew and raised him as her own son.

Old Mrs. Shen has no impression of this nephew. It's not that she doesn't remember this person, but she doesn't remember what this person looks like. Old Mrs. Shen is very obsessed with appearance. If he doesn't look average, she wouldn't remember him if he wasn't in front of her every day.

Cheng Jinchu and Shen Yuning went to look at the man standing below. He was not tall. Cheng Jinchu estimated that he was only over 1.65 meters tall according to modern calculations, but under 1.7 meters, definitely not more than 1.7 meters. He had yellow and dark skin, and spots on his face, but not many. His eyes were the best among his facial features, with big eyes, double eyelids, a flat nose, and slightly thick lips. He was wearing a blue shirt, and looked like a scholar.

The man bowed his head and saluted Old Lady Shen. Old Lady Shen curled her lips and hummed perfunctorily. She didn't care what the child came for. Her son would handle it. Zhou said that her nephew would be the shopkeeper. This matter probably was not notified to her eldest son. Old Lady Shen would think about it now. Let the eldest son do whatever he wants. Her son would not suffer any loss anyway.

When the man raised his head, he saw the two girls standing next to Old Lady Shen. His eyes were wide open at that moment. To be honest, he had never seen such beautiful girls, especially the girl in the goose yellow dress. She looked like a fairy from heaven. If you looked at her for a few more seconds, you would feel that you were offending the fairy and the fairy would be angry and punish you.

Old Lady Shen had been through so many things, and when she saw this boy staring at her granddaughters, she thought, these two are her best-looking granddaughters, how could they marry such a poor boy? It was like putting flowers in cow dung, that is, picking the flowers, crushing them, and stepping on them on the ground, it was ruined!

What Old Mrs. Shen hated most was this kind of scene. She immediately became angry. Her rage rose up so fast that her face immediately darkened.

"We are all women talking here. It is only right that you bring him to see me. Now that I have seen him, I will arrange for him to live out. After all, you said he is here to do work, and I have never seen any shop owner living in the Shen Mansion. You should bring him to see the boss as soon as possible and make arrangements. It is getting late."

There was nothing wrong with the old lady's words, except that they were not very pleasant to the ear. Zhou's eyes immediately turned red with grievance, but she could not talk back to her mother-in-law, so she could only stand up and salute the old lady.

"Then, I will take him to show him to you!"

Having said that, Zhou turned around and was about to go out. After taking two steps, she found that her nephew did not catch up with her and was still staring blankly at the girl next to the old lady. Especially since Shen Yuning was standing next to the old lady, Zhou was immediately very angry. She walked to her nephew and pulled his sleeve. She wanted to curse him, but she held back. The old lady, her sisters-in-law, and other girls in the mansion were also there, so she still had to save some face.

Zhou Xin was quite perceptive. Seeing that his aunt looked unhappy, he lowered his head, quickly followed her and walked out.

After going out, Zhou turned around and looked at the old lady's yard. Her face was frighteningly gloomy.

"Aunt~"

Zhou Xin shouted with his head down. Zhou looked at her nephew and suppressed her anger with great difficulty.

"Your father sent you to me to see a girl?"

Zhou Xin shook his head, but when he thought of the peerless beauty of the two beauties, he couldn't help but blurt out something.

"They are both very pretty! Especially the one in the yellow dress."

Zhou was so angry. It was beautiful. Couldn't she see it? If Shen Yuning's mother didn't have that charming look, could she have charmed Shen Hao like that?

If we talk about Shen Hao's favorite woman, the first one is that other person's mistress. That woman is average looking, the gentle and considerate type. She is the white moonlight in Shen Hao's heart, the one he loved but couldn't get. The second one is that vixen.

"Hmph~ The one in the yellow dress, forget it. She is Third Uncle's daughter. Although she was raised outside before, there is an arrangement to bring her back now. If you have any bad thoughts, don't think of her. Your uncle and I can't afford Third Uncle's wrath. It would be a light punishment to drive us out of the Shen family."

Zhou Xin's eyes darkened. Zhou Xin naturally knew that her nephew would be unable to walk when he saw a beautiful woman.

"Okay, are you interested in those two?"

Zhou Xin nodded heavily.

"Don't even think about the prettier one. The other one is your uncle's daughter, your cousin. This aunt can help you."

Zhou Xin's eyes lit up and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Really? Aunt, you decide to give her to me as my wife?"

Zhou snorted coldly.

"Come on, wife? How can she be your legal wife? She is not even qualified to be your concubine. Just play with her. When the time comes, your aunt will give her to you to warm your bed."

Zhou Xin licked his lips. He knew that his aunt didn't like all the other children of his uncle who were not born by her.

However, he will never meet such a beautiful woman in the future, so he still wants to marry her as his legal wife, which will give him face. His aunt said that he can just do whatever she wants to warm the bed, and after he gets her, he can marry her as long as his father agrees. Anyway, his father looks down on his aunt and will not do what she wants.

"Well, seeing how you are, you should think about behaving well so that your uncle will keep you here."

Having said that, Zhou took Zhou Xin to see Shen Hao.
