Shen Jiaojiao also sneered at his false comfort.

"Jiaojiao understands."

Shen Jiaojiao snorted in her heart, but she still looked obedient and whispered, "Although my sister doesn't like me, I still hope that my sister lives a good life. Seeing that the grandmother and the eldest aunt of the Gu family treat her well, and brother Qinghua also cares about her, I am also happy for my sister."

"She doesn't deserve it!"

Shen Cangyun was already full of anger, and seeing her still trying to compromise, he couldn't help but blurt out, "From now on, you don't have to worry about her!"

"Yes, my daughter always listens to Daddy."

Shen Jiaojiao curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

No matter whether it is worthy or not, everything will collapse soon. By then, Shen Ruyi will never get what she, Shen Jiaojiao, cannot get.

It would be best if even these people from the Shen family died one by one at her hands.

Shen Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes slightly and said nothing more.

Shen Cangyun had a dark face and quickly followed the Gu family.

Shen Yu walked beside him and couldn't help complaining, "How can this be so? After all, your father is the prime minister, and the people of the Gu family should accompany you, not..."

"Shut up!"

Shen Cangyun interrupted him, "Those who achieve great things don't care about small details!"

Shen Yu felt indignant.

But he didn't have the courage to ruin the Second Prince and his gang's good deeds, so he could only follow with a cold face.

After walking around a small path, everyone arrived at the front hall.

Shen Ruyi then realized that the place was already full of guests.

In addition to Minister Gu's colleagues, relatives, and other acquaintances, many people who had no connection with the Gu family also came.

Shen Ruyi saw Mu Rushuang and Song Mingyang in the crowd. She walked between the two of them with a sparkle in her eyes, but for the sake of the host's face, she didn't say anything.

Shen Ruyi and Mu Rushuang looked at each other.

Mu Rushuang nodded.

Shen Ruyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Fang Fei's letter had been delivered.

Because of the distance between them, neither side said anything.

As soon as they saw her being pulled in by the old lady of the Gu family and Gu Qinghua, discussions were heard all around.

"It seems that the Gu family really likes this daughter-in-law. She hasn't even entered the house yet, but she's like a family member. Look at how happy Old Lady Gu is. She's like the moon surrounded by stars. This is the best."

"I would like it too. What does Ziwei Fuxing mean?"

Some people scoffed, "Those who have made it to this point are all masters of acting, and they are good at this."

"That's true, but why is Shen Jiaojiao here too?"

As soon as they saw Shen Jiaojiao behind them, everyone's expressions became strange.

"She is so shameless. She had such a thing with her brother-in-law, yet she still dared to show up at such an event! The Prime Minister really loves his little daughter. She is so old, but she still came here holding hands."

"Perhaps, in the eyes of the Prime Minister, the Second Miss is still a child. From now on, everyone should open their eyes and not marry such a young child. Otherwise, you will have to watch her holding hands with this person today and that person tomorrow."

Everyone laughed.

After all, Shen Jiaojiao is sixteen years old this year.

When a girl reaches the age of fifteen, she is considered an adult.

In ordinary families, when a daughter turns ten, both the father and the brother will start to avoid suspicion and try not to have physical contact. There is no other family in the whole capital who holds hands with a sixteen-year-old daughter like Shen Cangyun.

If a girl really needs this, she usually won't go out.

If you go out, there are maids and old women to serve you.

How could it be like the Prime Minister's Mansion?

"I'm most afraid that she will give birth to a child and still hold hands with her father. By then, you won't know who is her family."

Everyone couldn't help but complain.

Although his voice was kept low so that the host family and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion would not hear it, the look in his eyes was not too concealed, because it was too obvious that Shen Cangyun was protecting Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Cangyun is not a fool either.

Naturally, he also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

After entering the house, he had to let go of Shen Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, this is your aunt's house, just like our own home."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "My daughter will be good, Daddy, you go ahead and get busy."

Glancing around, she recognized most of the guests in the room. She had seen them at the last family recognition party, but she hadn't gotten anything good at the party, so these people didn't look at her in a friendly way.

On the contrary, it was a little bit joking.

Shen Jiaojiao was hurt by these gazes and couldn't help but glared at Shen Ruyi fiercely——

If Shen Ruyi hadn't caused trouble at the family recognition banquet, she would have performed perfectly and become a famous noble lady in the capital!

Instead of being like now, with his reputation ruined and his innocence destroyed by Gu Qinghua and thrown away like a worn-out shoe!

But Shen Ruyi couldn't care about her at this moment.

Because after the old lady of the Gu family pulled her in, she began to show the Gu family's love for her in public, and introduced her solemnly:

"This is my granddaughter-in-law who is not yet married. Today is a good opportunity to introduce her to you all. She is a child without a mother, so it is inevitable that she does not do well in some areas. I hope that you will take good care of her in the future. For my sake, please do not embarrass her."

When she was in front of people, she smiled particularly kindly and brightly, as if her love and care for Shen Ruyi came from the heart.

Shen Ruyi cooperated with her in acting and did not reveal any flaws for the time being, because the time had not yet come and the person she was waiting for had not yet arrived.

Because of the old lady's words, everyone's attention was drawn back to Shen Ruyi and her.

"The old lady really likes Miss Shen! It seems that Miss Shen is enjoying a good life now that she has married into the family! As the saying goes, a harmonious family brings prosperity. In my opinion, the Gu family will surely prosper in the future!"

Some people couldn't help but start flattering.

Everyone knows what Ziwei Fuxing represents.

As long as Shen Ruyi marries Gu Qinghua, whoever the Gu family supports will be the next emperor, so it is always a good idea to curry favor with him early.

Upon hearing this, Minister Gu bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your good words, thank you for your good words!"

Gu Qinghua also showed a proud smile on his face, "Ruyi and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Now we are finally together. Add to that the grandmother's birthday party, it can be said to be a double happiness! I hope you all will come to the wedding banquet on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month!"

After living for twenty years, Gu Qinghua felt that he had never been so proud.

He couldn't help but look at the hairpin on Shen Ruyi's head.

But others also noticed Shen Ruyi's abnormality today——

Everyone was dressed in their best today. After all, they were attending a banquet at the Minister of Rites' house. The Second Prince and Concubine Li would be here soon, so everyone dressed appropriately, not just for the sake of being familiar, but just to be polite.

Only Shen Ruyi was an accident.

On her head she wore a phoenix hairpin bestowed by the late emperor, but she was wearing only a set of coarse cloth clothes without any color.

It was out of tune with the atmosphere of the entire banquet.

This inevitably leads to speculation.

Everyone looked Shen Ruyi up and down and couldn't help but discuss, "The eldest daughter of the Shen family is dressed a little strangely, wearing a coarse cloth dress and only a plain hairpin on her head. But this plain hairpin can only be worn alone..."

"The last time I saw her, she was wearing gorgeous clothes and had pearl hairpins all over her head. Now she looks like this, with this expression, it's really confusing!"

"What is she going to do?"
