Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 741
The old lady's expression grew increasingly resolute: "Go and call them again! If they don't come today, I won't eat!"
She refused to believe that those two, as her juniors, would let her go hungry!
The maidservant quickly turned and left.
After a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally arrived.
But their husbands also came with them.
Upon seeing Shen Rang outside, Shen Jun immediately felt relieved.
It seems that my actions today were the right thing to do.
The thought had barely crossed Shen Jun's mind when he was speechless with himself.
He clearly thinks he's the one in charge.
Why should the father have to watch his son's actions?
While pondering, Shen Jun suddenly noticed a strange gaze.
Shen Jun looked at Madam Zheng and saw that she was frowning slightly. He then put aside his wild thoughts and said, "Mother, I heard that you haven't eaten yet. Let me serve you a meal."
The old lady frowned deeply: "What kind of son serves meals? What's the point of having a daughter-in-law?"
Hearing the old lady's words, Shen Jun did not stop his actions at all: "She went to worship Buddha early this morning, and she has some sandalwood on her body. I'm afraid it will affect Mother's appetite."
Everyone: ......
Shen Rang and Huo Zhao exchanged a glance, then looked at Madam Zheng.
Seeing that Zheng's hands were clenched tightly and turned pale, the two subconsciously looked away.
Well, Shen Jun meant well, but the way he said it sounded so strange.
However, the old lady was very satisfied with Shen Jun's words.
The son refused to let Zheng serve him in order to satisfy his own appetite; this was clearly to take care of her.
The old lady then looked at Huo Zhao: "Men don't know how to serve others. Now I have a granddaughter-in-law—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Rang walked over to her: "Zhao Zhao is still half asleep from waking up early, let me do it."
As the father and son spoke, they had already stood next to the old lady, filling the space around her completely.
The old lady was truly at her wit's end.
This father and son were completely oblivious to her thoughts!
Who wants them to wait on them?
However, since the people were already there, the old lady couldn't very well send them away, so she had no choice but to be served a meal by the father and son.
Neither the father nor the son were good at taking care of people, but these were her own son and grandson, so even if the old lady was dissatisfied, she couldn't say it and could only grit her teeth and bear it.
Meanwhile, Madam Zheng and Huo Zhao were also busy. They had somehow ended up standing together, whispering to each other. Madam Zheng would occasionally glance at Shen Jun, her eyes full of disdain.
Meanwhile, after the father and son served the old lady her breakfast, before she could raise any further objections, Shen Rang said, "Grandmother, since you've had breakfast, you should rest well. Zhao Zhao and I have important matters to attend to back home, so we'll take our leave now."
Shen Jun quickly replied, "Yes, my wife and I also have things to attend to."
If Zheng or Huo Zhao had said these words, the old lady would definitely not have agreed. However, she could disregard the feelings of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, but she could not disregard the feelings of her son and grandson.
Besides, Shen Rang wasn't discussing it with the old lady.
The old lady had no choice but to nod with a sullen face.
After they left in pairs, the old lady said in a deep voice, "This Marquis's mansion is becoming more and more unruly."
The maid stepped forward, her eyes lowered, and said, "Now that the old lady is here, it's a good opportunity to set the rules of the Marquis's mansion."
"That's natural."
The old lady said, "Those two outsiders are so fearless now, but my grandson has been married for a few days and will be leaving soon. My son is not capable of handling things either. When the time comes, I can naturally set some rules for that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!"
The old lady had made up her mind.
