"Will you dislike me?" Ye Qinghuan asked softly with his head half lowered.

If she is really not Ye Huai's daughter, then whose daughter is she?

Father doesn’t want to?

Then his status would be downgraded again, making him even less worthy of being a general.

"How could that be?" Shen Lin didn't expect that she, who was always confident, would have such thoughts. He held her shoulders tightly and said, "You are you."

Ye Qinghuan forced a smile and stopped wasting time.

In her previous life, no so-called "biological father" came to find her, and no one will come to find her in this life.

What is she worried about?

She is not a daughter of the Ye family, but a genuine grandson of the Bai family, rich and capable.

While I was thinking, I arrived home.

Su Jinxiu came out with people to greet them: "Brother Lin, Madam!"

"Where is the old lady?" Shen Lin asked.

"It has been arranged in the guest room. The accompanying servants live next to the old lady."

Su Jinxiu made good arrangements and did not place the servants in the servants' room. She treated all of them as guests.

Ye Qinghuan was very satisfied.

"You feel heavy, go back and rest!" Shen Lin said.

"Brother Lin, the old lady has a bad temper, please bear with her." Su Jinxiu said worriedly, "When brother Rong comes home, she will naturally go back."

"I know."

Shen Lin nodded.

Su Jinxiu felt relieved when she saw that he was really not angry.

Just seven days, and it passed quickly.

But during these seven days, Madam Shen caused trouble every day!

"Why is breakfast like this? If you don't like it, change it up a little."

Early the next morning, Madam Shen's shouting was heard from the west wing guest room.

After changing the breakfast, he asked again, "Where is Ye? Why doesn't she come to greet me?"

"What? Shen Lin entered the palace? Is he deliberately avoiding me? Humph!"

"A bunch of heartless people! Ask Ye to come and dine with me! Come and follow the rules!"

Old Madam Shen stopped pretending at all and completely turned into a wicked mother-in-law, revealing her true nature as a fierce country woman.

"Madam, the lady also went out early in the morning."

Madam Shen was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "She wants to avoid me too, right? Humph, if she has the guts, she should never come back!"

"If a daughter-in-law doesn't serve her parents-in-law, she has already violated the seven grounds for divorce. Tell her that if she doesn't come to serve me again, I will divorce her!"

"You let me stay in the guest room and treat me as a guest, right? Gather everyone in the mansion. I want to give them a lecture!"

"..."

The master can be willful, but the servants cannot.

Shen Lin and Ye Qinghuan were not at home, and it was difficult for all the servants in the mansion to be bullied by Old Madam Shen.

Ye Qinghuan hid in the cloth shop and secretly spread a message: Serve the old lady well and everyone will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver.

So, no matter how Mrs. Shen tried to persuade her, the servants in the mansion welcomed her with a smile. She said she was going to Le and would never go west.

After two days, Madam Shen's methods were useless.

It has no effect other than tiring myself out.

Su Jinxiu couldn't bear to watch it any longer and advised, "Aunt, why bother? The best thing to do now is to wait for my third brother to return safely."

"Whenever I think of Rong'er, my heart aches so much that I can't eat or sleep..." Old Madam Shen burst into tears, "Jinxiu, how dare they ignore me?"

Su Jinxiu was silent.

You are so partial to me, I should have learned to resist long ago! It's too late to pay it back today!

"Jinxiu, how much money do you have?" asked Old Madam Shen.

Su Jinxiu was startled: "What does aunt want the money for?"

"I heard from Baizhi that Rong'er is short of money recently. I will give him a surprise when he comes home." said Old Lady Shen.

Most of Su Jinxiu's personal belongings were given by Old Madam Shen.

All he could do was say, "I still have a few hundred taels of silver in my hand. I'll ask my aunt to take it back later."

"So little?" Old Madam Shen looked around suspiciously, "You only have a few hundred taels at such a luxurious home?"

"Aunt, the mistress gives me nothing but two taels of silver a month."

"Two taels? She worked so hard to make it, and only gave you two taels?" Old Madam Shen was angry.

Su Jinxiu sighed: "Aunt, although I am a concubine, I am actually no different from a concubine."

Except for the wife, all others are concubines! But concubines are divided into different levels, with the concubine at the top.

Old Madam Shen had given the old general a concubine, the one who gave birth to Shen Yun. She only received one or two taels of silver every month.

"Jinxiu, you still don't live up to expectations." Old Madam Shen was disappointed. "If you live up to expectations and win Lin'er's heart, you will have the final say in this mansion!"

"I have no ability..."

Su Jinxiu felt a pain in her heart and lowered her eyes.

There's no point in arguing!

If Shen Lin hadn't let her go once, she would have been thrown into the pig cage! How could she still have such a good life now?

She already has a child, and it's enough for her to take care of the child and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. What else is there to fight for?

Let Shen Rong kill Brother Lin, hold her child hostage, and live her life on thin ice?

Only fools argue.

"Can we ask a doctor to come and see if the baby is a boy or a girl?" Old Madam Shen suddenly thought of the baby's gender and asked.

"The fetus is stable, so I didn't see a doctor. As for the gender, I was afraid that my wife would be unhappy if I found out." Su Jinxiu cleverly found an excuse.

Madam Shen thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter whether the child of my Shen family is a boy or a girl. If it's a girl, she can also be a female general!"

"It just makes up for the regret that my aunt has no daughter." Su Jinxiu smiled and served tea and water to Mrs. Shen.

It didn't take long to coax Old Madam Shen into submission.

"Your several hundred taels of silver are useless, just keep them for yourself!"

"Yes, aunt."

The day passed quickly as the aunt and niece talked.

Old Madam Shen thought, Ye Qinghuan can avoid her during the day, but what about at night?

As a wife, she couldn't stay out all night. It would be the same if she came back at night and then scolded me!

Maybe it was because it was cold in winter, and Madam Shen felt very sleepy after dinner: "Mammy, I'm going to take a nap to recuperate. Call me when Ye Qinghuan comes back."

"Yes, old lady."
