Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

"Sister Chunyue, what are you doing here?"

"Hello, Sister Chunyue."

Chunyue had some free time these past few days, and she would often wander around the places Shen Huimin usually passed by.

This was also Xiao Fengyi's instruction, so that Shen Huimin could contact him if anything happened.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Xiao Fengyi is now aware of Shen Huimin's plan and is taking precautions.

He's just waiting for the old master's birthday banquet, waiting for Shen Huimin to make her move, so that she'll finally know what it means to be utterly disgraced.

Xiao Fengyi was very interested in seeing this "an eye for an eye" approach.

Xiao Fengyi was usually gentle with his servants, so no one found it strange that Chunyue would occasionally wander around the Shen residence.

After all, Chunyue was Shen Huimin's person and was temporarily working in Qinghe Garden. Normal people would not think that she would be given an important position.

It was this sense of entitlement from everyone that made things convenient for Chun Yue.

"Miss, Granny Shu from the old lady's courtyard has sent someone to invite you over."

Xiao Fengyi was sitting at her desk, practicing calligraphy to relax, when Xuan Hua suddenly walked in, curtsied to her, and reported.

"Did Grandmother call me?"

"Yes."

"Change for me."

Xiao Fengyi glanced at her clothes, which were stained with ink from writing and painting. It would be impolite to see the old lady like this.

Soon, with the help of Xuan Hua and the other person, Xiao Fengyi changed into a peach-colored long dress with white pleats embroidered with plum blossoms and slowly walked towards the old lady's courtyard.

When Xiao Fengyi entered the courtyard, Granny Shu was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing the newcomer, she quickly pulled her into the courtyard.

Upon seeing the old woman sitting on the bed, Xiao Fengyi quickly bowed.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother!"

"Alright, Feng girl, get up, get up quickly."

The old lady smiled and waved to Xiao Fengyi, while glancing at the nanny beside her.

“Feng’er has been walking for so long, she must be tired. Quickly, bring her a bowl of plum juice.”

The old woman's enthusiasm flattered Xiao Fengyi, who quickly thanked her and then sipped her drink.

"Grandmother, why did you call your granddaughter here?"

After regaining her senses, Xiao Fengyi felt much more comfortable and then asked.

"Ah, Feng girl, it all comes down to misfortune for the family."

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady let out a heavy sigh.

Xiao Fengyi, with her eyes lowered, naturally knew what the old lady was referring to.

“Grandmother, my uncle and aunt are actually not bad people. They have already realized their mistakes, so please don’t hold it against them.”

"Don't mention that unfilial son. I called you here today to discuss the matter of holding a belated birthday banquet."

“Grandmother, please speak.”

Xiao Fengyi blinked slightly and spoke obediently.

Madam Shen patted Xiao Fengyi's hand, gazing absently at the face that increasingly resembled her daughter's.

"These people have ruined what should have been a birthday banquet!"

Our Shen family's reputation...

Previously, the birthday banquet was handled by Shen Yu and Madam Song, but as you know, things have gone wrong.

These two people have already been punished and placed under house arrest, so it's not appropriate to let them interfere anymore.

As for the Shen family, needless to say.

I've been thinking about this for the past two days, but I haven't been able to think of any other suitable candidates.

So I was thinking, how about Feng help with the arrangements?

“Grandmother, I am not very knowledgeable and have never done such a thing before. I am afraid there will be mistakes.”

Upon hearing that she was to help organize the birthday banquet, Xiao Fengyi was momentarily taken aback, but quickly declined after realizing what was happening.

"Do you think I don't know what you're capable of? You're just too cautious in your actions."

Don't worry, this time it's different from last time, it's just a replacement, so the specifications don't need to be too complicated.

If there's anything you don't understand, ask Granny Shu for help.

As for the invited guests, those who are on good terms with the Shen family should be treated with utmost respect; the others can be treated casually.

Xiao Fengyi lowered her head and looked down, which made Old Madam Shen like her even more, and her words became softer and more affectionate.

After hearing the old man's heartfelt words, Xiao Fengyi nodded in agreement without hesitation.

“Grandmother, since you trust your granddaughter, then your granddaughter will take care of this birthday banquet for Grandfather.”

However, if there is anything inappropriate, please don't blame me, Grandmother.

“What’s there to blame between us, grandfather and grandson? I’d love for you to take on the responsibilities of the household.”

“Grandmother, that won’t do. A granddaughter is still an outsider. There are still uncles. Besides, if the other uncles come back, there will be no place for the niece.”

The old lady's next words made Xiao Fengyi somewhat apprehensive.

Whether the other person was telling the truth or lying, she dared not respond.

With the matter settled, the old man was relieved. Seeing the old man's expression, Xiao Fengyi took the initiative to speak again.

"Grandmother, let me examine your health."

"well."

The old lady had witnessed Xiao Fengyi's medical skills and naturally trusted him, so she extended her wrist.

The room fell silent immediately. After a while, Xiao Fengyi withdrew her hand, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"Grandmother, the toxins in your body have been cleared. After resting for a while longer, you will become even healthier."

Looking at my grandmother like this, I can't say she'll live to a ripe old age, but holding her great-grandson will be a piece of cake for her.

"You silly girl, with that mouth of yours, saying you'll live as long as Mount Nanshan? If that's the case, then I'll turn into an old hag."

Upon hearing Xiao Fengyi's words, the old lady immediately beamed with joy.

He gently tapped her forehead a few times with his index finger, his words filled with affection.

“How could your grandmother be an old witch? In your granddaughter’s eyes, you are a fairy.”

Xiao Fengyi's words were as sweet as honey, and with just a few words, she made the old lady even happier.

Seeing a hint of fatigue on Madam Shen's face, Xiao Fengyi got up to take her leave.

Before leaving, he naturally received a reward from the old lady.

Back at Qinghe Garden, Xiao Fengyi took off her clothes with the locks around her neck and put on a long cotton dress.

After removing the hairpins, her long hair was held in place by only a single jade hairpin.

This outfit made her feel much more relaxed.

I casually picked up a book, leaned against the window, and gently flipped through it.

"Master, the old lady asked you to prepare for the birthday banquet. What are your plans?"

Xuan Hua had gone with Xiao Fengyi, so she naturally knew what the grandfather and granddaughter had talked about.

"This matter cannot be rushed. Let me think about it carefully, and then I will discuss it with the person in charge."

"But Master, you are an outsider after all. Will these people listen to you?"

This is what Xuanhua cares about most.

"You know what the people in the Shen family are like. They have a very strong eye for how to treat people differently based on their status and how to change their tune depending on the wind."

However, I'm preparing for this birthday banquet, and I'm afraid I might anger someone to the point of being as fiery as a pufferfish.

"Well, that's true."

Xuan Hua thought about it and understood what Xiao Fengyi meant, and she agreed with him.
