Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"I knew I could gain something from Second Aunt."

"You." Madam Shen Er picked up her handkerchief and wiped the snack crumbs from Shen Chuning's mouth. "I like your open and honest nature. If you weren't the only daughter your parents had, they wouldn't have traded you for all those brats in the family."

"Who did mother say was the brat?"

"Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother are back."

Shen Chengwu and Shen Chengliu lifted the curtain and came in, one wearing a royal blue robe and the other a dark green robe. They had the slender figure of northerners and the gentle temperament of southerners. Coupled with the Shen family's good-looking genes, one could not help but sigh that they were elegant and gentle like jade.

"I knew Xiaojiu was coming. Mom has something delicious to eat. When will dinner be served?"

Shen Chuning: "..." She wanted to take back her previous gentle and jade-like thoughts.

Madam Shen Er: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating. You must have died of starvation in your previous life and now you're reincarnated as a ghost."

"Children are growing up and have so much homework every day, so it's normal for them to get hungry quickly."

Shen Chuning forgot that she was only eleven years old and subconsciously thought of Shen Chengwu and Shen Chengliu as two children younger than her.

Madam Shen Er and the other two turned around and stared at her.

"Xiaojiu, you were sick and got possessed by some dirty stuff, right? Tell me, who are you? Where did you hide my ninth sister?" Shen Chengliu suddenly stood up and stood in front of Shen Chuning, staring at her without blinking.

Shen Chuning didn't dare to move at all, and wouldn't even dare to breathe even if she was beaten to death.

Seeing this, Madam Shen Er quickly reached out and slapped Shen Chengliu on the arm. "Are you acting like a normal person? What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaojiu has just recovered from her illness. If you scare her again, I will skin you alive."

"Hiss." Shen Chengliu cried out in pain, covering his arm with his hands and grimacing, "Mom, who is scarier between us? You always say you want to skin me alive."

"Have you been secretly practicing martial arts with your aunt? How come you're so strong now? Sister Zhenzhu, quickly bring me some bruise ointment. I have a horseback riding date with some people tomorrow. If I lose because of this arm, they'll laugh at me to death."

"Who are you going horseback riding with tomorrow, brother? Would it be convenient for you to take me with you?"

Shen Chengliu looked at Shen Chuning suspiciously, "Shen Xiaojiu, you never showed up for this kind of event before. Tell me the truth, are you attracted to some brat?"

"My sister is only eleven years old. Look at the nonsense you are talking about." Mrs. Shen slapped Shen Chengliu's arm again.

Mrs. Shen Er's words interrupted Shen Chuning's thoughts.

"Oh! Mom! I was just joking."

"Sister Zhenzhu, please call the court doctor quickly. My arm can't be saved." Shen Chengliu said as he collapsed on the chaise longue by the window.

"Mother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's a waste of your talent to be in charge of the household affairs at the government office. You should go to the government office and carry out executions. No matter how hard the bones are, you can be forced to confess after three beatings."

"You're always so careless with your words, so these two blows are too light."

Shen Chuning was covering her mouth and laughing secretly. She really liked this relaxed atmosphere.

Whether it was in the Third House of the Shen Family before she got married, or in the Third Prince's Mansion after she got married, she had never seen such jokes and playfulness.

"Xiaojiu, you're still laughing at me. I just saw that you were feeling down, so I wanted to tease you."

"Then Sixth Brother has achieved his goal." Shen Chuning winked slyly. "I've just been bored at home for too long and want to go out and play."

"We really can't take you this time. Zhou Lin said he wants to bring a new friend. We don't mind, but we're afraid that person is a reckless person and might offend you. We have to check and confirm that his character is okay before we dare let you see him."

"Isn't the second brother of the Zhou family in the military camp? How come he has time to ride with you guys?"

Zhou Lin is the nephew of Madam Shen Zhou Mu, the second child in the family. He comes from a family of military generals, so it is better to stay away from him.

The wedding night in her previous life has always been a knot in her heart, and she has no impression of that night in her mind.

The only clue is the military family that Shen Jingwan mentioned, and the military tokens in the house, if Shen Jingwan didn't lie to her.

"Military camp? I guess they won't be going there for a while. I heard..."

"Mom, let's eat. Xiaoliu is hungry."

Shen Chengliu had just climbed up from the chaise longue, put his hands on the backrest, and was about to speak excitedly when he was interrupted by Shen Chengwu.

"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. Can't you see I'm talking to Xiaojiu?" Shen Chengliu glanced at Shen Chengwu impatiently.

When he saw Shen Chengwu's dark face, he shuddered instantly and touched his nose unconsciously, "I'm hungry."

"Sixth brother, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you killing the fun?" Shen Chuning complained coquettishly.

Shen Chengliu kept winking at Shen Chuning, his face almost distorted.

"Sixth brother, is your face cramping?"

After asking this question, Shen Chuning seemed to suddenly realize something and turned her head to look at Shen Chengwu, which scared him a lot.

This was the man who later became famous for his black face. How could she dare to act rashly in front of him? Perhaps her body size determined her brain capacity, so she must not let her guard down.

"Fifth brother, Sixth brother said he is hungry, let's eat."

……

At the dinner table, Shen Chuning not only had her favorite squirrel fish, but also a soft chicken soup. Although it contained a lot of warming and nourishing Chinese medicinal herbs, Shen Chuning found it very delicious and drank three bowls in a row.

There are also seafood delivered by the Yun family merchant ship. I heard that they were all fresh when they were delivered. They were steamed in steamers with rice wine and eaten with the special sauce prepared by the small kitchen. It was so delicious.

But Mrs. Shen said that seafood was too cold and did not let Shen Chuning eat much.

"Second Aunt, do you have a loyal girl whose origins are unknown?"

"Are you short of servants in your room? If you don't want to use a servant born in your household, Second Aunt has a pimping house. I'll have someone bring a few young maids over tomorrow for you to choose from. Besides, whether a maid is loyal or not depends entirely on how the master trains her. With the indenture in hand, how many would be disloyal?"

"It's not that I need it, it's for something else, and I wanted to keep it ready. I might not need it."

When Shen Chuning said this, Shen Chengwu looked at her thoughtfully.

"Now that you mention it, there are indeed a few. My family sent a few girls here before the New Year. They were all trained since childhood and we wanted to put them in your brothers' rooms."

"Poof! Cough cough cough..." Shen Chengliu spat out a mouthful of tea.
