The second wife, Mrs.
Zhao, is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Xingyang.
To say that the second master is just a concubine, it stands to reason that he cannot reach the level of the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Xingyang Mansion.
However, when the second master married the second wife, the Marquis of Xingyang was only a fourth-rank official, and the Shen family was in the Shangshu Mansion, so he was a good match, but After getting married, the old lady's official career was stuck, but Mr.
Zhao was promoted step by step.
In the past few years, he had made great achievements, received the grace of the saint, and was granted the title of marquis.
He was in the limelight for a while.
With such a favored father-in-law, even if the second master is sent abroad, he will go to a wealthy place and have real power in his hands.
When I return to Beijing this time, I will not only stay in Beijing, but I am afraid I will also be promoted.
Thinking of Shen Jun, who had been observing mourning at home for three years, and now he has been out of mourning for three months, and has not yet taken office.
The second master is away, prosperous, and was promoted when he came back.
The eldest lady feels bad in her heart.
She deliberately separated the family and kept the second master's family far away, out of sight and out of sight, but unfortunately, except for the second master, the third and fourth bedrooms were all owned by the old lady.
The old lady would rather the second wife poke her eye sockets every day than separate the family.
What can she do, she can only endure it.
The old lady put down the letter, her eyes dark and unpredictable, and said, "The Marquis of Xingyang is my in-law of the Shen family, and it is his fiftieth birthday.
The birthday gift is three times more expensive than usual, so prepare carefully and don't lose etiquette."
The eldest lady nodded, indicating that she had taken note of it.
This topic was never brought up again.
The fourth wife paid her respects to the old lady, sat down and said, "Madam, your birthday is in two months.
We haven't held any events in the past three years.
Why don't you make a big event this year?"
The old man is dead, and Shen Jun and Ding You are at home.
How can he hold a grand birthday party for the old lady?
The mansion has not held even a decent banquet in the past three years.
The eldest lady thought that she could take the opportunity to have a good time, but the old lady was not interested.
She waved her hand and said, "We will discuss this matter after Jun'er's appointment order is issued."
In the past, the old lady had hoped that Shen Jun would be promoted to a higher rank, which he deserved.
However, with so many things happening recently, the old lady felt that she would be satisfied if Nengguan could be reinstated.
However, Shen Jun can only be considered part of the reason, and the main reason is Shen Yue.
Her recent marriage to Prince Xuan caused a stir in the city.
Although she called off the engagement, everyone knew that she was unwilling to marry Prince Xuan.
She only broke off the engagement after she won the cockfight.
Moreover, Prince Xuan also refused because of this.
Hanging up the city gate for several hours.
Men are all dignified.
If a girl rejects his engagement, he will definitely lose his face, especially Prince Xuan.
His temper is notoriously violent and he must avenge himself.
If the Shen family had a grudge against Prince Xuan, a few ministers would still dare to interact with the Shen family, even if the emperor praised Shen Jun in public.
At that time, after the banquet was held and the invitations were sent out, the ministers did not dare to come because they were worried about Prince Xuan.
The loss of face to the Shen family would be much greater than if there was no banquet.
The old lady weighed it again and again, but still felt that she was not in a hurry to make a decision.
It would not be too late to wait some time before making a decision.
The eldest lady understood the old lady's concern and glanced at Shen Yue, her eyes as cold as a knife.
Shen Yue's face was calm.

It wasn't that she didn't understand the connotations of the old lady's words, but since she didn't say it clearly, she pretended not to understand.
As for the eldest lady's cold face, think about the thousand taels she got yesterday.
Even if you praise her, she doesn't necessarily have a good attitude toward her.
Just get used to it.
There's no need to ruin your mood for someone you don't like.
Over there, the maid came over and invited the old lady to have breakfast.
The fourth wife came so early because today it was her turn to serve the old lady with breakfast.
The old lady had four daughters-in-law, and they were supposed to serve one person for a day.
However, the old lady did not use them.
The fourth wife also knew this. , but the fourth wife is a bit rigid.
Although the old lady said no, she really doesn't need them to serve her, but as long as it is her turn that day, she will get up early and come to greet the old lady without breakfast.
After saying hello, the old lady had breakfast and she went back to Beiyuan, without exception for more than ten years.
In terms of filial piety, no one in the house can match it.
At this moment, the old lady realized that when the eldest lady came to her place at this time, she must have not had breakfast.
After realizing it, the old lady asked the eldest lady, "Why did you come so early?"
The eldest lady replied, "Just now, my eldest sister-in-law sent someone to tell me that my mother is sick and I will go home soon."
Although the eldest lady is the legitimate mother of the head of the Shen family, she still needs to tell the old lady about such a big event as returning home, otherwise she will break the rules.
If the old lady does not agree, she cannot return to her parents' home.
Of course, the old lady is reasonable. person, mother-in-law When she was sick, it was right for her daughter to go back and visit her.
She would not stop her.
Instead, she said with emotion, "As I get older, if I don't take good care of myself, I will fall ill easily.
It's not as good as when I was young.
Bring more supplements." , please give my regards to my mother-in-law."
The eldest lady stood up, and Shen Yao said, "Mom, I'll go too."
Mrs.
Yichun Hou is the eldest lady's biological mother, Shen Yao's maternal grandmother, so it is appropriate for her to visit.
The eldest lady was worried about the condition of Mrs.
Yichun Hou, so she resigned without delay.
Shen Yao had no appetite for breakfast and left with the eldest lady.
Only Shen Xiu, Shen Ke, and Shen Yue were left to accompany the old lady for breakfast.
After having breakfast and sitting with the old lady for two-quarters of an hour, the old lady let them go out to play.
After leaving the house, Shen Xiu found a topic to chat with Shen Yue.
She said, "The emperor has already asked about my father.
My father's official position will be announced soon.
Then my grandmother will definitely give a feast and celebrate her birthday in a glorious way." , then we need to prepare birthday gifts now, so as not to be in a hurry later and not know what eldest sister plans to give to grandma."
Shen Yue held the embroidered handkerchief and touched the tip of her nose lightly.
Her expression could not be called familiar or distant, and she said calmly, "I haven't decided yet."
When Shen Xiu heard this, she looked a little hurt and said, "Why does the eldest sister feel so alienated from me?
Is it because she helped the fourth sister?"
The corners of Shen Yue's lips curled up slightly, but without saying anything, Shen Xiu continued, "Eldest sister misunderstood me.
I'm not that dumb yet.
I can't tell who is really doing it for my own good.
It's just that my fifth sister and I are very soft-spoken.
How can we resist, Madam?"
, we can only compromise.

If the eldest sister misunderstands, we should fight. " Her words were sincere and her attitude was sincere, and the sincere Shen Yue almost believed her.
She smiled brightly and said, "Second sister, don't worry, I'm not so dumb that I can't see what hypocrisy and cowardice are."
Shen Xiu was startled when he heard this.
Why did it feel weird to hear this?
She wanted to ask again, but Shen Yue had already turned around and left. s: There are only two votes left to add an update:
