When Shen Jingchuan mentioned this, the smile on his face faded a little: "She is just an ignorant person. She has been delayed for so many years. Now that she is back, you must teach her well."

Qin Xuerong said in a gentle voice: "Sister Yi is smart, and she has been cultivating herself in the Buddhist temple for these years. I believe she must be generous and decent. Even if she is less knowledgeable, as long as she is dignified and steady and studies hard, she will be able to catch up."

Old Madam Shen sighed, "It was delayed after all. A woman only has a few years to learn things. When she gets married and starts a family, she won't have that much time."

Madam Sun consoled him, "It's because the child is in poor health. You don't have to worry too much. After all, he has to stay healthy first. Otherwise, no matter how well he studies, what's the point?"

This one sentence made Old Madam Shen and Shen Jingchuan silent, and they both thought of Shen Shuhan at the same time.

Shen Shuhan became famous at a young age. When he was six years old, many of his poems were praised by celebrities and talented people. He was undoubtedly the most promising descendant of the Shen family.

But as the saying goes, excessive wisdom will lead to harm, I never thought that such a thing would happen later.

Shen Shuhan has now given up on himself, and this has become a secret that no one in the Shen family wants to talk about.

Probably guessing what Madam Shen was thinking, Madam Sun said again: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Look at how hard An Ge has worked now. In the future, Lin Ge and Yao Ge will not be bad either. There will be a day when they will bring honor to your family."

Shen Jing'an and Shen Jinglin are Qin Xuerong's two sons. The eldest son is only sixteen years old and is now quite famous for his talent. Although the youngest son is naughty, he has been smart and sweet since he was young, and is quite loved by Shen Jingchuan and Old Lady Shen.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Jinglin raised his little face and said, "Yes, grandma, I will definitely make you proud in the future, and earn you a title when the time comes!"

With just one sentence, the gloomy atmosphere in Jing'an Courtyard was dispelled, and Old Madam Shen laughed heartily: "Okay, okay! Grandmother will be waiting for that day!"

As the group was talking, a maid came in hurriedly and announced, "Madam, Master, Madam, the second young lady is here."

"Please." Old Madam Shen spoke in a deep voice. Because of this casual chat, her original longing for Shen Shuyi and the joy in her heart had faded a lot.

Shen Shuyi followed behind Nanny Zhang and walked around the screen at a leisurely pace.

Everyone's eyes fell on her and they couldn't help but examine her.

Everyone saw a young girl with two buns on her hair, a thin figure, a straight back, wearing a lavender double-breasted skirt, with a calm and graceful demeanor.

Every gesture and movement was done calmly, without a trace of panic. Even measured by the strictest royal etiquette, there could be no fault to be found.

The girl's face was pale and bloodless, and she was a little too thin, but she was still a beauty. The most amazing thing about her were her eyes, which were dark and calm, without any panic or anxiety, as if they could hold thousands of stars, so bright and terrifying.

The moment Old Madam Shen saw Shen Shuyi, she was dazed and could hardly remember what she looked like originally. She only felt that the way she looked in front of her was just right, exactly what she thought she looked like.

Shen Shuyi respectfully bowed to Old Madam Shen at the head of the table, and choked up and said, "Greetings to Grandmother, Father, Mother, Second Aunt..."

Old Madam Shen said with relief: "Good! Good! It doesn't count as a disgrace to the Shen family!"

Qin's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi's face. She thought she would see an uneasy and unpresentable maid.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shuyi was not frightened at all. Instead, he was calm and composed, and there was no fault in his every move.

Qin glanced at Nanny Zhang behind her, her dissatisfaction evident in her words.

Aunt Zhang's heart tightened, thinking that Shen Shuyi was usually lazy and indulgent, and had forgotten about the rules she learned in her childhood. She never expected that not only did she not make any mistakes, but she performed impeccably.

Shen Jingchuan looked at Shen Shuyi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and was in a trance for a moment. The girl in front of him gradually overlapped with the gentle and graceful woman in his memory, which softened his vision.

Madam Shen looked at Shen Shuyi carefully, sighed and said, "It's good that you're back. You look thinner now, but your illness has healed."

Shen Shuyi's eyes were moist, and she looked at Old Madam Shen with a smile: "It doesn't matter if my granddaughter is a little thinner. As long as grandma is healthier, I will be satisfied."

Her biological mother, Zhao Derong, was the daughter-in-law chosen by Old Madam Shen herself, and she was the only legitimate daughter in the mansion at the time, so Old Madam Shen had always been good to her.

In the past few years, Old Madam Shen didn't know that Qin was withholding her expenses and monthly allowance, but she still asked someone to send her some allowance every now and then.

Otherwise, she doesn’t know how she would have survived these years.

Zhang from the second house smiled and said, "Sister Yi is really good at talking. She was able to please the old lady as soon as she came back. How is everything going for Sister Yi in the Buddhist temple these years?"

Shen Shuyi replied generously: "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Second. Everything is fine."

Not hearing Shen Shuyi's complaint, the smile on Zhang's face faded a little.

Shen Jingchuan said, "I'm glad you're back. Your mother has been missing you for a few days and has already cleaned the yard for you. She's been waiting for you to come back."

Qin Xuerong's eyes turned red. She wiped away the non-existent tears and waved to Shen Shuyi: "Come, let your mother take a good look. How come you are still so thin after several years of care?"

Shen Shuyi walked forward with a smile, as if he didn't have any grudge at all.

Qin Xuerong's gaze fell inconspicuously on Shen Shuyi's feet, but unexpectedly, Shen Shuyi took every step very steadily. Not only did he not fall in front of everyone as she expected, he didn't even stumble.

"Mother." In a moment, Shen Shuyi was standing in front of Qin Xuerong.

Qin Xuerong patted her hands and said, "You seem to be a little shorter than Sister Yu. It's a good time for you to take good care of yourself after you come back. How have you been these years? Do you have any ideas for your studies in the future? If you need anything after you return home, just let me know."

Seeing that Qin Xuerong had set a trap for herself as soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Shuyi did not respond, but just said meekly: "Thank you, mother. Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern."

Just at this moment, Madam Shen coughed a few times. Shen Shuyi turned around and asked with concern, "Did Grandmother catch a cold?"

Facing her concerned eyes, Old Madam Shen felt relieved and waved her hand: "It's just that I'm old, so it's inevitable that my body is not in good shape."

"The granddaughter was recuperating in a Buddhist temple and often missed her grandmother, so she copied a Buddhist scripture to pray for her."

As he spoke, Shen Shuyi took the Buddhist scripture handed over by Jinzhu and presented it to Old Madam Shen personally.

Madam Shen was stunned for a few seconds, as if she didn't expect that she would have such thoughts. Her serious face softened a little: "You are thoughtful, child."

Qin Xuerong's eyes flashed with annoyance. Wasn't it tiring enough for this little bitch to be in the Buddhist temple? She even had time to copy Buddhist scriptures!

I really don’t know how those monks and maids do their work!

Old Madam Shen was about to take it, but when Shen Shuyi raised his hand, her eyes fell on the cuffs and the lining that had been mended by Shen Shuyi, and her brows couldn't help but frowned.
