Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

When the news of Shen Li's discovery reached the Shen family, Zhao was stunned for a long time, and finally blurted out "What a pity that he is not dead". The old lady heard it and cursed her harshly.

If it were in the past, the old lady would not even dare to give Zhao the cold shoulder, let alone scold her.

But ever since Shen Li gained face in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, Shen Zhaojiang had a private discussion with the old lady, planning for her to treat Shen Li well, hoping to take advantage of Shen Li's power and the Fang family's power to rise to the top again in the future.

At this time, when the old lady heard that Shen Li was fine and was kept in the palace by the Queen Mother to recuperate, she was more than happy. How could she tolerate Zhao cursing Shen Li?

It is understandable that a stepmother cannot tolerate her previous child, but as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, her vision is so short-sighted that the old lady cannot help but feel disappointed.

After scolding Zhao, the old lady was not idle either.

She immediately sent a letter to the palace, saying that she was old and had heard that her granddaughter was in a coma and weak, and she was very worried. She asked the empress dowager for permission to enter the palace to visit Li'er.

The empress dowager naturally couldn't stop her from doing this, so she agreed to let her enter the palace the next day.

Early the next morning, the old lady was ready to go.

The best supplements must be taken, not just for Shen Li, but first of all, for the Queen Mother. There are other things, too, like the snacks made by the cook. They don't look expensive, but they best show the Shen family's care. And there's also money. Yes, money. My granddaughter lives in the palace, so she has to pay for the maids and eunuchs. How can she do without money?

As a grandmother, she helped with the preparations, and her granddaughter was generous, so it would sound good if the news got out.

When the time came, the old lady got on the carriage and happily entered the palace.

I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother first, and naturally expressed my gratitude.

Then she asked about Shen Li. After listening to the Queen Mother's description of the situation when she found Shen Li unconscious, she shed a few tears and asked to visit her in the side hall.

The Empress Dowager ordered Nanny Zheng to take the old lady to the side hall.

Shen Li was lying in bed bored. When she heard that the old lady was coming to visit, she immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

I really don't want to be hypocritical with these people. It's a waste of energy and meaningless.

The old lady followed Nanny Zheng, looking around as they walked.

The luxury and nobility of the Empress Dowager's Palace made her heart beat wildly. Who wouldn't be jealous of her granddaughter recuperating in the Empress Dowager's Palace?

From today on, when she goes out again, she will see who dares to laugh at the poor background of the Shen family, and who dares to be disrespectful when seeing her?

Sitting beside Shen Li's bed, the old lady said to Madam Zheng and the maidservants beside her: "I want to accompany my granddaughter alone, so I won't delay Madam Zheng and everyone else."

Nanny Zheng said a few polite words and left with the palace maid.

As soon as the person left, the old lady went to hold Shen Li's hand.

Shen Li felt disgusted, opened her eyes and took her hand away.

"Grandma knew you weren't sleeping," the old lady said, hiding her embarrassment and looking at her lovingly. "I heard you were injured and unconscious, and your father was terribly worried. Grandma was also so worried she couldn't eat or sleep. I quickly asked the Queen Mother for permission to come in and see you today."

Shen Li said nothing, staring at her with a half-smile.

The old lady lowered her eyes, took the bundle at hand, and said to Shen Li as she opened it: "This is the silver that your grandmother and your father prepared for you. Living in the palace represents the face of the Shen family. You have to pay what you should pay, so that people won't laugh at us for being stingy. Grandmother cut the silver into small pieces so that you can give it to others."

After saying that, he handed over a bag of silver, which looked to be about three hundred taels.

Shen Li raised her eyebrows. Why were they suddenly so generous? What did they want to do?

Then the old lady said, "You can't write two Shen characters with one stroke. At the very least, we are a family. It is a blessing for you and the Shen family that you can gain face in front of the Queen Mother."

"Now that you are living in the palace, there are countless people outside who are jealous of you. Don't worry, just focus on recovering from your injuries. Your father will handle the rest for you. We just need to bless your father with a successful career. If he is well, the Shen family will be well, and you will have a solid support."

"Here, this is a thousand taels of silver. It's different from the small change you give as a reward. Keep this close to you so you don't have to worry. I've also brought some supplements that Grandma picked out especially for you. If you need anything else, tell Grandma and she'll tell your father to get it ready for you right away."

Shen Li remained silent, which made the old lady seem rather noisy.

In the end, the old lady herself felt that she could not go on. She looked at Shen Li awkwardly and wanted to reach out and touch her hair, but was scared back by her cold gaze.

"You didn't come here just to chat with me about family matters, did you? If I remember correctly, we don't seem to be that close yet, and there's nothing much to talk about."

Shen Li has never called you "grandmother" since she returned to Beijing, let alone called you "you". At first, everyone thought she was from the countryside and didn't know the rules, but now she is simply too lazy to respect you.

The old lady just wanted to act like a grandmother, but she didn't have the confidence to do so.

Even though the child was stupid, he understood how the mother and daughter were treated.

What's more, she increasingly felt that the child was not as stupid as they thought.

"We weren't close before because we were too far apart. You and Grandmother had never been together and weren't familiar with each other. But things will get better in the future. Grandmother plans to move your courtyard near Yanshou Hall so that she can always keep an eye on your well-being and prevent you from suffering any injustice. As time goes by, you'll realize that both Grandmother and your father care about you..."

"What? Move the yard?" Shen Li was a little surprised and disgusted. "Why change the yard? I like the Corner Courtyard so much. Do you want to make me unhappy because you see that I like it there?"

If we don't put labels on them, they will really force their way over, and even use the name of doing it for her sake. Forget it.

"I won't change the courtyard, and you guys shouldn't go to my place and act so arrogantly," Shen Li said, "It will be the same as it was before. If you get too close, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares. My mother was close to you back then, but in the end, nothing good came of it. By the way, old lady, have you recovered my mother's dowry? There have been a series of accidents recently, and my uncle is too busy to take care of it. Go back and ask the second lady, and give it to me as soon as it's recovered. After all, my small kitchen still needs money from my mother's dowry, otherwise I won't even have enough to eat."

These words made the old lady's face turn red and blue.

Xiao Chenze was lying on the roof, hearing their conversation clearly and couldn't help but chuckle.

What a quick kill.

Looking at her ability to confront people, it's like a silent slap in the face, bang bang.

Shen Li's attitude was unmoved. The old lady had prepared herself mentally before coming and knew she couldn't act arrogantly in front of her. So she stood up with a wry smile and said to Shen Li, "You're not feeling well and aren't in a good mood, so I won't keep you from resting. Stay here with the Queen Mother and don't make a fuss. I'll come to see you later. If you want something to eat, just send a message to your father and he'll prepare it for you."

Shen Li took the banknotes and small change in her hand and weighed them unceremoniously. "This is the interest on the money my mother spent on building the mansion, so I won't be polite. You guys should come in less often, lest people say you are trying to take advantage of the Queen Mother's prestige and bully others."

Xiao Chenze took great effort to suppress his laughter.

In the blink of an eye, the old lady of the Shen family walked out of the side hall angrily. She was so anxious that she almost tripped herself...
