Granny Yang also saw Shen Yunsheng. Her face was full of shock, her eyes wide open, and she murmured, "She...she didn't go to Master Huang's house?"

Xiao Zhenzhu was also scrutinizing Shen Yunsheng, and couldn't help but wonder, "Is this still the Shen Yunsheng I know?" Although she hadn't gone home, she was fully aware of everything that had happened there. Now, as she carefully examined Shen Yunsheng, she was surprised to find that the woman before her seemed to have changed somewhat.

Especially her exquisite face, which was simply enviable. Her delicate skin was as white and flawless as mutton fat jade, and beneath her slightly raised eyebrows were a pair of bright and spirited eyes that twinkled like stars; her high nose bridge and small lips all showcased her beauty and charm.

She and her cousin were a perfect couple.

Just as Shen Yunsheng was about to pretend he hadn’t seen Granny Yang and Xiao Zhenzhu, 007 couldn’t help but complain, “Master, Xiao Zhenzhu isn’t very good-looking. With her appearance, she can’t even be considered a pretty girl from a modest family.”

Shen Yunsheng also thought that Xiao Zhenzhu was not very good-looking. She was quite tall, but her features were not delicate. Her eyes were small and narrow, her nose was flat and large, her lips were thick, and she had some freckles on her face.

Such an appearance can hardly be called beautiful; it can even be described as extremely ordinary.

However, everyone has a different definition of beauty. Perhaps in some people's eyes, Xiao Zhenzhu has a unique charm? But in any case, Shen Yunsheng has no good feelings towards her and does not want to have too much contact with her.

“Master, I have a feeling that this old woman Yang is up to something again.”

007 crossed his arms and looked at Granny Yang with a half-smile.

Shen Yunsheng sneered, "What are you afraid of? My side job is to punish scumbags. If she's not afraid of losing face, then let her make a scene."

Granny Yang came to her senses and immediately changed her expression, walking towards Shen Yunsheng with a big smile.

"Oh dear, Yun Sheng, you went into the city without even telling me. I could have come with you."

Shen Yunsheng was speechless. This old poisonous woman, in order to maintain a good image, didn't even call her Jingchuan's family anymore, and directly called her Yunsheng. It was disgusting.

“Grandma, didn’t you say before that you didn’t want to see me? How could I dare to ask you to come to the city with me?”

Shen Yunsheng retorted without any politeness.

Granny Yang's smile froze on her face, but she quickly recovered.

"Yun Sheng, what are you saying? I was wrong before, please don't take it to heart."

Shen Yunsheng felt even more disgusted; this old woman really had a thick skin.

"Alright, just say what you need to say."

Granny Yang cleared her throat. "Well... your little sister Pearl's marriage has been arranged. I'd like to ask you to accompany me shopping so we can prepare her dowry."

Shen Yunsheng sneered. This old poisonous woman was really dreaming. When the original owner was alive, this old poisonous woman loved to go shopping with the original owner. Whatever she took a fancy to, she wanted the original owner to buy it. She wished she could empty the entire store.

007 looked at Xiao Zhenzhu with suspicion, and couldn't help but wonder: According to common sense, a woman who is about to marry a sickly man should feel sad and desperate.

However, Xiao Zhenzhu appeared unusually calm, showing no sign of crying or fussing. This was truly perplexing. He couldn't help but move closer to Xiao Zhenzhu, trying to find some clues in her expression and eyes, but to no avail.

“Master, I suspect that this old vile woman is trying to trick Li Tianci into marriage! Perhaps she has already set a trap for him, just waiting for him to fall into it.”

A hint of alertness crept into 007's voice.

He believed that Xiao Zhenzhu's calm demeanor might be hiding a larger conspiracy.

Perhaps she doesn't care who she marries, as long as she can achieve her goals.

This purpose is very likely related to deceiving Li Tianci.

Thinking of this, 007 frowned even more deeply. He decided to keep a close eye on how things were developing so as not to harm his master.

Shen Yunsheng also felt that Xiao Zhenzhu was too calm. Even at this time, she still had the mood to go shopping with the old poisonous woman, which meant that she had already made up her mind.

"Uncle, what a coincidence! Are you here shopping too?"

Xiao Zhenzhu snapped out of her daze and greeted Xiao Wenjing with a smile.

"Let's just wander around," Xiao Wenjing casually said, though he was actually a little uneasy inside.

Before he left, his mother was still airing out the quilts at home.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she had already entered the city!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenjing couldn't help but worry, fearing that his mother might cause some trouble.

Grandma Yang gave her eldest son a meaningful look. "Wenjing, after we finish eating the noodles, come shopping with us. We can also prepare your niece's dowry while we're at it."

Seeing that her father-in-law was in a difficult position, Shen Yunsheng answered Granny Yang on his behalf.

"We have to take care of some things after we finish eating the noodles, so we probably won't have time to go shopping with you."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law spoke up for him, Xiao Wenjing smiled and agreed, "Mother, let's do it another day! I don't have time today. I'm going to check out the lumber shop later."

Xiao Wenjing understood his mother well; every time they went shopping, she had to buy whatever she wanted, and his meager savings were simply not enough for her to squander.

Granny Yang's face darkened instantly. "Didn't you take leave? What are you doing at the lumber shop!"

Xiao Wenjing said helplessly, "Mother, if I don't go, someone will take my place."

Granny Yang glared at him and said, "Five hundred coins a month? You might as well quit. You'd be better off finding a better job."

Xiao Zhenzhu casually chimed in, "Uncle, logging isn't a long-term solution. You should find an easier job."
