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

"Mom, do the women of the Wang family in the west courtyard have problems with their legs and feet?" Shen Chengliu yelled angrily.

Yun Shuxuan picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, and handed it to Shen Chuning who had just entered the room. He smiled and said, "This is sent by your maternal grandparents in Jinling. It tastes very sweet. Try it."

Then, she turned to look at Shen Chengliu and asked, "How did they offend you again?"

Shen Chengliu plopped down on a chair, picked up an orange, and said angrily, "Actually, they didn't do anything to me. It's just that they always walk unsteadily, either their left foot tripping over their right foot, or their right foot tripping over their left foot. What's even more outrageous is that some people even fall down for no reason, and on flat ground! There were several times when they almost fell on me if I hadn't dodged quickly!"

Hearing this, Shen Chuning couldn't help but burst out laughing and said jokingly, "Sixth brother, could it be that one of the young ladies from the Wang family has taken a fancy to you?"

However, Shen Chengliu shook his head firmly in denial: "Absolutely impossible! There must be something wrong with their family's feng shui, or the whole family must have some kind of illness, otherwise how could four or five women fall so easily?"

Shen Chuning couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. "Only four or five people fell, and you can't stand it? They have a total of thirty-two children in their family!"

Yun Shuxuan suddenly thought of something and asked Shen Chuning nervously, "A Ning, have you ever encountered those blind people?"

Shen Chuning shook her head and smiled helplessly, "When we first moved in, there were always people asking me to go out for a walk, and some asking about the customs and practices of the capital. The most outrageous thing was that someone even brought me homework from the teacher, with their own poems tucked inside the books."

Shen Chengliu's expression changed immediately when he heard this. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed out the door, "I want to see which little bastard is so tired of living that he has such a big guts..."

Shen Chuning quickly pulled him back, "Sixth brother, don't be impulsive. There are no more recently."

Yun Shuxuan also complained, "Mother has been busy lately and hasn't had time to take care of you. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Shen Chuning explained, "They only dared to talk to me at the main gate, not into the East Courtyard. And it was only more common when we first moved in. Later, maybe because I didn't treat them well, or maybe because I went out less, these things gradually became less common. Now, no one dares to approach me."

Shen Chuning was suddenly stunned when she said this. Thinking about it carefully, these things did not seem to be gradually decreasing.

Even though she never left the house, the young masters from the West Courtyard still sent their maids to deliver food here in the name of Miss Wang.

And those exquisite food boxes often contain affectionate notes.

In addition, Miss Wang would even use the excuse of looking for a maid to ask for embroidery patterns and deliberately meet her on the way, just to pass on messages for those young masters.

So when did it start that even the young ladies of the Wang family could no longer step into the gate of the East Courtyard?

It seemed that such things had never happened again since Xuanying and Xuanyou came to the Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Chengliu, who was standing by, couldn't help but curl his lips in dissatisfaction when he heard what Shen Chuning said. "Humph, the young lady of the Wang family is much more persistent than the young master of the Wang family. She's like a fly that won't go away no matter how hard you try!"

Yun Shuxuan gently took Shen Chuning's hand, her eyes full of love and tenderness. "Ah Ning, you know, I've only raised three boys before, and your third and fifth brothers are both sensible, so I don't need to worry about them at all. As for your eighth brother, although he's a little naughty, as long as he doesn't do anything too outrageous, I'll just let him be."

Shen Chengliu was unhappy when he heard this. He frowned and muttered, "Mom, you treat me a little differently."

Yun Shuxuan waved his hand and said impatiently, "Go away, go away. Why are you involved in everything?"

Shen Chengliu: "Okay!"

Yun Shuxuan then turned to Shen Chuning and said, "I've never raised a daughter before, so if I do anything wrong or if there's anything I haven't noticed, you must tell me."

She gently stroked Shen Chuning's hand, her eyes full of love.

Shen Chuning also shook Yun Shuxuan's hand and replied with a smile: "A Ning didn't have a mother to take care of her before. Now that I have a mother to take care of me, I am very satisfied. Moreover, in my heart, you are the best mother in the world."

After saying that, the two smiled at each other, and a warm atmosphere filled the air.

However, Shen Chengliu watched the interaction between the mother and daughter and could not help but knock on the table and shout, "Hey, is there anyone here to take care of me? I'm going to be eaten by the female demon."

He tried to get everyone's attention, but only got the cold shoulder from his mother and sister.

Shen Chuning also understood in her heart that although the Wang family members were usually domineering, they would not openly stop people on the street.

But once you enter the government gate, the situation is different.

There are not so many concerns here, and the people of the Wang family may be more unscrupulous.

At this stage, perhaps they are just testing the waters.

But if some time passes, they might resort to some despicable means to harass Shen Chengliu.

With his impulsive personality and simple mind, it is difficult for him to explain clearly even if it makes sense.

So Shen Chuning also helped Shen Chengliu and said, "Mom, we really should find a way to separate the East Courtyard from the West Courtyard."

Shen Chengliu echoed, "I don't think there's any need for such trouble. We can just open another gate on the east side and seal the gate leading from the government office into the backyard. That way, although Dad will have to walk a few more steps to get to the government office, we'll have a lot more peace and quiet!"

Yun Shuxuan rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "When your father beats you, don't come crying to me!"

Shen Chengliu looked confused, "Did I say something wrong again?" she asked Shen Chuning beside her in a low voice.

Shen Chuning replied helplessly, "Dad is the governor, and Wang Daren is only the provincial governor. But now you're suggesting that we give the main gate of the governor's office to Lord Wang and let Dad go through the newly opened small gate. Isn't this going against the will of heaven?"

Shen Chengliu suddenly realized and muttered, "Why not just kick the Wang family out?"

Yun Shuxuan sighed and responded, "Since the previous dynasty, the Shandong Governor and the Shandong Provincial Government have always worked together. How can you just kick him out? Besides, Wang Haiquan has long been looking forward to occupying the Governor's Office alone. How could he be easily kicked out?"

Shen Chengliu frowned and sighed, "What should we do? We can't just burn down the West Courtyard..."
