Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 109: Controlling Grandmother

Marquis Anbo Shen Qingming told everyone the whole story of how he had injured Miss Mu yesterday and what happened in the imperial study today.

Even though the old lady had a lot of experience, she couldn't help but sit up straight as she listened, looking at Shen Shen with an uncertain expression. Mrs. Shen, needless to say, turned her head in shock and looked at her second daughter who didn't dare to speak loudly before.

Seeing that the old lady and Madam Shen were too shocked to remain silent for a moment, Lord Shen picked up the teacup and drank water to moisten his throat. He stared at his second daughter with a serious expression and said, "Shen'er, why didn't you tell me about the matter of Miss Mu from Duke Yunsheng's Mansion when you returned home yesterday? If it weren't for the fact that Prince Zhu from the Prince's Mansion sent someone to inform you before the court meeting, I wouldn't have gone to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor after the court meeting to help you out."

"Father, I know I was wrong. It was my carelessness that caused you trouble."

As a modern time traveler, Shen Shenshen mostly comes into contact with villains in the workplace, who would complain to their superiors behind their backs and try to get awards at the end of the year. He has never been to the "court" and has no idea that the emperor can just say one word and "the whole family will be executed."

Today, after hearing what her father said and being asked by him, she finally realized that serving the king is like serving a tiger.

"Hmph, the second young lady has been causing trouble for the mansion ever since she woke up from the fall last time. Now that the marriage has just started and there are so many things going on, the mansion is in turmoil. Tomorrow the ladies from the two mansions are coming, so hurry up and arrange the marriage and get married." The old lady did not hide her dissatisfaction and expressed her dissatisfaction directly.

Shen Shenshen was not stupid. He could hear the sarcasm in his grandmother's tone and got angry. This damn old woman.

"Grandma, I respect you..." She was about to curse when she felt her hand being gently held by another soft hand. She turned around and saw her mother gently shaking her head at her.

Shen Shen immediately shut up.

The old lady opened her half-closed eyes, looked at her, and asked, "What does the second young lady want to say?"

"Mother, Shen'er wants to apologize. Right, Shen'er?" Mrs. Shen said gently.

"Oh, grandmother and granddaughter are wrong." Shen Shenshen lowered his head and spoke in a muffled voice, fearing that if he just looked at the old lady, she would not be able to help but lose her temper on the spot.

"Hmph!" The old lady was not stupid, but she did not continue to ask in front of the Marquis. After easing up, she got back to business: "Tomorrow, the ladies of Prince Zhong's Mansion and Duke Yunsheng's Mansion will come to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage. How should the Marquis decide so as not to damage the harmony between the Marquis' Mansion and the two mansions?"

"Mother, since the ladies from various mansions are coming, it is better for Madam to receive them. I will not get involved. As for which mansion the second young lady will marry, let her choose for herself."

"She's determined? How can marriage be a joke? It's all decided by parents and matchmaker. I still prefer the Duke of Yunsheng's mansion."

Before Lord Shen and his wife could speak, Shen Shen stood up, walked in front of the two of them, knelt down and bowed properly, then stood up and said, "My daughter has caused a lot of trouble to my father and mother. It is my daughter's fault. I sincerely apologize to my parents here. I hope you will forgive my daughter."

Madam Shen said lovingly, "Shen'er, what's wrong with you? Mother won't blame you."

"Mother, I already have someone in my heart. Father, mother, I am willing to marry Zhu Yanxiao, the son of Prince Zhong's mansion."

"Shen'er, have you made up your mind?" Lord Shen was not surprised at all. After the incident yesterday, Master Zhu had been cleaning up the mess for his second daughter. He vaguely felt that Master Zhu and Shen'er were in cahoots.

"Father, I think very clearly. I like Ziyuan, and he likes me, too. We love each other."

"Both of them are in love?" The old lady snorted coldly: "Humph, could it be that they have already secretly given each other a long time ago?"

Shen Shenshen turned around and smiled at his grandmother, but that smile was creepy in the old lady's eyes.

"Grandma, Ting'an Tea Shop, Concubine Lan." She blinked her beautiful almond eyes at the old lady.

"What... did you say?" The old lady's voice trembled slightly, and the fingers that were turning the Buddhist beads suddenly stopped.

Shen Shenshen continued to smile, his voice cold: "Shen'er doesn't have any great abilities, and I know that grandma has always looked down on my second granddaughter, but what can I do? My granddaughter is too smart, she knows everything she should and shouldn't know. Grandma, what do you think we should do?" After saying that, she reached out and smoothed down her hair.

The old lady's face turned pale and blue with anger.

Shen Qingming looked at his mother's face and realized that a few days ago, the second girl said that his mother added something to the tea. He had never checked it out because he didn't want to admit it in his heart. But today, he had to believe it.

"Shen'er, what is Ting'an Tea House? What does it have to do with mother?" Mrs. Shen asked. Her intuition told her that there were some things that she, as a mother, didn't know.

"It's okay, mother, daughter and grandmother are going to guess a riddle. Only grandmother and daughter know the answer to this riddle. Right, grandmother?" She curved her eyebrows.

The old lady closed her eyes and tried to remain calm: "Hmm." She exhaled, spun the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said unwillingly: "I am getting older and can't worry so much. From now on, the Marquis and the Madam will decide on the second young lady's affairs. There is no need to ask for my opinion as a mother."

Shen Shen bowed politely and said, "Granddaughter thanks grandma for your help."

After all, Lord Shen is a filial son and has always had a deep relationship with the old lady.

"Well, mother, the second young lady's wedding tomorrow..."

The old lady looked listless: "It's fine if the Marquis and his wife decide. The mother of the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Zhong's Mansion also thinks it's a good idea." After that, she brought the teacup and said: "I'm a little tired. You can go and prepare for tomorrow's banquet."

Seeing that the old lady had ordered them to leave, the three of them decided not to stay any longer and so they got up, said goodbye and returned to the main courtyard.

Shen Shenshen was so happy when he left Daishan Courtyard for the first time: he solved the most annoying stumbling block in the mansion. There are two more. At least two.

How could Mu Chuchu know that she was in Heyinlou today? She and Zhu Yanxiao had set the time for math class in the carriage yesterday. Only a few people in the mansion knew that she left the mansion yesterday. Who leaked it? It goes without saying that the only thing missing was to report the green tea's ID card.

Well, let's make Green Tea look bad tomorrow. Let's settle all the old and new grudges together.

Before dinner in the main courtyard, the masters of the Marquis' Mansion arrived at the main courtyard one after another, but saw that the Marquis and his wife had already sat in the main seats. Everyone knew that there was something that needed to be informed to everyone, so after paying their respects to the Marquis and his wife, they sat in their usual fixed seats and waited for the Marquis to speak.

Shen Qingming looked at everyone with dignity and said, "Tomorrow at noon, the two ladies from Prince Zhong's Mansion and Duke Yunsheng's Mansion will visit the Marquis' Mansion."

"Father knows about it and asked us to leave at 5 p.m." Shen Chenxiang said.

Shen Caizi asked, "Father, why did the ladies of these two mansions suddenly come to visit?"

The Marquis glanced at his eldest daughter approvingly and said, "They came to the mansion to ask for the hand in marriage of the second lady, Shen'er."

"Two families are seeking marriage at the same time?"
