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

A barely perceptible sarcastic smile appeared on Cheng Jinchu's lips. She was enjoying scolding her own daughter. Others just told her to thank the madam, but she just started yelling.

Doing this will only make people think that this person is really uneducated. Cheng Jinchu sighed in his heart.

Before coming here, she had thought of many images of this woman, but this one was the only one she had never thought of.

I have to say, she really does have the feeling of the aunts in those dramas that Cheng Jinchu watched in the past.

She doesn’t know what’s going on with Aunt Mo yet, but it won’t affect her performance!

Cheng Jinchu had a decent smile on his face. He took a few steps forward and saluted the person sitting in the main seat.

"Thank you, mother!" Cheng Jinchu was respectful and still kept his head down.

The person sitting on the main seat was very satisfied with Cheng Jinchu's attitude. She smiled gently and waved at Cheng Jinchu.

"Come, come and sit next to your mother!"

Cheng Jinchu bowed slightly to the person sitting at the main seat.

The person sitting on the main seat was smiling the whole time. After Cheng Jinchu sat next to her, she spoke.

"Taohua, raise your head and let mother take a good look at you. I heard about you before I entered the mansion. It was said that there is no girl in this mansion prettier than you. I think you probably look like your father, because your father is good-looking."

Cheng Jinchu was speechless...

The name Shen Taohua really felt so old to her...

When her sister introduced herself, she said that because peach blossoms were blooming when she was born, her parents did not give her a name. Her grandmother said outside the delivery room that her nickname was Peach Blossom. Her grandmother originally said that she would give her a full name when she was 15 years old and her parents had not given her a name yet.

However, her adopted sister only stayed with her grandmother until she was over four years old. Later, she recognized Cheng Jinchu's mother as her adoptive mother and became Cheng Jinchu's sister. Only then did she become famous.

Cheng Jinchu raised his head obediently, and as soon as he looked up, he saw an extremely familiar face...

Sun Manman!

If Cheng Jinchu had not received special training to remain calm no matter what he saw, he would have looked shocked.

Just like the person in front of him, it was as if he was struck by lightning!

Cheng Jinchu's calm face turned into a smile, and he looked at the person in front of him with curved eyebrows and eyes. The person's eyes almost popped out and he muttered two words.

"Jinchu..."

The voice was very soft. Cheng Jinchu practiced martial arts and had very good hearing. He was very close to her, so the two words were very clearly heard by Cheng Jinchu.

"Mother, my name is Jinyi, Taohua, that's what my grandmother used to call me."

This sentence seemed to be a response to the two words "Jinchu" that Sun Manman blurted out, and it also seemed to be a response to Sun Manman's previous call her Taohua.

Yes, Shen Taohua has a real name, Shen Jinyi. Because her name is Jinchu, she was given the name Jinyi.

The lady took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"Yes, yes, I heard your name is Taohua, and I thought it was... Never mind, don't worry about it. Jinyi, it's a nice name. Have you had breakfast?"

The lady took Cheng Jinchu's hand and asked.

Cheng Jinchu indeed had no breakfast at the Shen residence. Yunzhi would symbolically go to the kitchen to get her meals every day. Of course, they did not eat those things.

Cheng Jinchu didn't believe that the person in front of her really wanted to ask her whether she had eaten or not. If she said no, this person might even pretend to find someone to blame her, saying that the servants were negligent. There was no need for that, and she didn't want the food to be treated like a reward.

"Replying to Mother, it has already been used!"

The lady nodded happily, and pulled Cheng Jinchu to sit next to her. She smiled gently and warmly, as if she was very easy to get along with.

But, she is Sun Manman. Others may not understand her, but Cheng Jinchu knows her very well!

At this time, a wrinkled-looking woman wearing navy blue clothes spoke.

"Jinyi, look at how good your mother is to you. You must respect her well."

Hearing the woman's words, Sun Manman covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled.

"Sister-in-law, I'm young and this is my first time being a mother. I have a lot to learn and I need your advice!"

[That person is Zhou, the wife of Shen Hao, the eldest master of the Shen family]

Following Chengzi's introduction, Cheng Jinchu began to carefully look at her now nominal aunt. At first glance, she was the kind of person who was difficult to get along with. Cheng Jinchu sighed. Why are there so many troublesome people?

Cheng Jinchu stood up and bowed to Zhou.

"Great Aunt"

Zhou was very satisfied and helped Cheng Jinchu up with a smile.

"Jinyi looks really good. She should look like my third brother. My third brother has always been good-looking."

[This is Yu, the wife of the second master Shen An]

Cheng Jinchu looked up at Yu. She was well maintained and must have been a pretty girl when she was young. She had two dimples when she smiled, and looked very friendly.

Cheng Jinchu bowed to Yu again.

Afterwards, Sun Manman took Cheng Jinchu to meet the other people in the house. The first and second wives each had a son, but the son did not come. This was a gathering of female relatives, so their wives did come. Besides the daughter-in-law, there was also a little girl standing behind Yu, who was the daughter of her brother from her natal family.

Today, except for Cheng Jinchu, all other young ladies did not come to the mansion.

After meeting these people, Sun Manman once again pulled Cheng Jinchu to sit down.

Cheng Jinchu looked at Sun Manman who was sitting next to her and holding her hand. She was so young, but she had found a man as old as Master Shen San. Master Shen San, Shen Yun, was nearly forty years old. Cheng Jinchu was curious, when did she start to like older men?

"Jinyi, your grandmother has gone out to burn incense and worship Buddha. She will probably be back for a month."

Sun Manman looked at Cheng Jinchu with a smile, and Cheng Jinchu smiled sweetly back at her. Chengzi told her that the grandmother would not come back until next year.

However, Cheng Jinchu knew why she mentioned that unlucky person. The old lady was the most superstitious. She said that Shen Jinyi was unlucky for her and needed to be sent away to be raised until she reached the age of 15 before she could come back.

This...it was more than half a month after Shen Jinyi came of age before the Shen family sent someone to pick her up.

Cheng Jinchu had absolutely no good impression of this old lady.

"Sister-in-law, the old lady brought Yuning with her on this trip. She is a very nice girl and knows how to behave. She is very good at making the old lady happy. But I don't know how Qingqing and Yueyue are doing. As a mother, I am very worried. They have been spoiled by me and can't speak. I am afraid that they will make the old lady unhappy. I want to ask you, sister-in-law, how did you raise a sweet-mouthed girl like Yuning?"

[Shen Yuning's mother was born a courtesan in a brothel. She was the most favored by Shen Hao and was the best-living concubine raised outside. Her mother was beautiful, so naturally her daughter was not bad either. The situation was the same as your step-sister's family. She was registered under the name of the wife, and outsiders thought she was the wife's daughter. Zhou didn't like this daughter because this daughter was much better than her own daughters. The two daughters mentioned by Yu were her own daughters.]

Cheng Jinchu was drinking a cup of tea while listening to Chengzi's explanation. This was really interesting. They were really brothers and both liked to have mistresses.

As for the fact that they were able to keep mistresses, it was mainly because they were not short of money. The reason they were not short of money was that Shen Jinyi's maternal grandparents were businessmen who were very good at making money. The Shen family was very poor before. The eldest and second sons of the Shen family only had money to marry wives after the third son married Mo.

When Mrs. Mo married Shen Yun, the third Master Shen, she brought a large dowry. Shen Yun was actually quite good at making money. He was very smart and had the potential to be a businessman.

However, he was the only educated person in the family, so it was Shen Yun who made money behind the scenes, and it was the First and Second Masters Shen who were doing the work. The Third Master Shen passed the imperial examination, and before Cheng Jinchu came back, he heard that he had been promoted and was now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
