Chapter 959 Favor
Old Madam Shen kept her for dinner until the afternoon. Seeing that Old Madam Shen was tired and Ye Ben was starting to become disobedient, Zhang Juexia stood up and prepared to leave.
Old Madam Shen was not ready to let them go yet, and she insisted that the mother and son play for a while longer.
Zhang Juexia understood Madam Shen's good intentions and felt that she was too lonely, so he exchanged glances with Lihua, and the two of them chatted back and forth until Madam Shen finally decided to go to rest.
Zhang Juexia also breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take Ye Ben away.
Before she was ready to leave, Old Madam Shen started to instruct her, "Let's make it clear first, don't let me invite you!
But you must bring Ben'er to play with me often!"
"Well, old lady, don't worry, there will definitely be a day when you will bother us."
Madam Shen shook her head like a rattle, "Don't worry, girl, I guarantee that day will never come.
Lihua, please pack up all the things I prepared for the girl.
Also, bring the gifts for Ben'er."
Zhang Juexia carried Ye Ben onto the carriage. Looking at the carriage full of things, he turned around and said to Lihua who had escorted them out, "If someone didn't know, they would think you had moved all the things from the old lady's room here!"
Lihua smiled and looked at Zhang Juexia, "You know what the old lady's temper is like. She wants to keep all the good things for you!
But you, you haven't been able to see her for such a long time. You don't know that the old lady has been nagging in my ears every day, and my ears are all calloused. That's why you come now."
"It's my fault. I will definitely come here often in the future."
"When the old lady wakes up, I'll tell her this. I guarantee she'll be happy for several days.
Madam Ye, it’s getting late and Master Ben’er is still young, so I won’t waste your time.
Besides, the old lady needs help too."
After saying this, Lihua waved to Zhang Juexia and walked towards the mansion.
Zhang Juexia watched Lihua enter the mansion, and then let Chen Liang drive the carriage away.
Zhang Juexia spent the entire day with Madam Shen in the backyard. Shen Liang also spent the entire day at the Shen residence. Zhang Juexia felt rather bad, "Shen Liang, I didn't delay anything for you, did I?"
Shen Liang chuckled, “Madam, how could that be?
I am in the Shen Mansion for our family business. Think about it, I am now the manager of the Ye Mansion, but I can often go in and out of the Shen House.
By evening, those who are well-informed and intelligent will understand what is going on."
Zhang Juexia heard something else from Chen Liangyou's words, "Chen Liang, did something happen during the time we were away from Qingfeng City?"
Shen Liang was stunned for a moment, “Madam, it’s all in the past. It’s just that some villains thought you and the master had left Qingfeng City, so they wanted to do something bad.
However, before they could even begin to think about it, they were dealt with by Master Shen."
After listening to Shen Liang's words, Zhang Juexia did not ask any more questions. After all, it was all in the past. Besides, she looked at the account books of Qingfeng City once a month and did not find any problems.
She was interested in what Shen Liang did in the Shen Mansion today, so she asked.
Shen Liang did not intend to hide it. “After I kowtowed to Madam Shen, I went to the front yard. Coincidentally, the master was at the mansion, so I said a few words to him. He also asked about our business, about you and the master’s recent situation, and then asked about Master Ben’er.
After coming out of the master's study, I became familiar with the stewards of the Shen Mansion and had lunch with them.
Madam, if it were in the past, I would not even dare to think about it."
"What's the big deal? Maybe you'll have the chance to dine with an official from the imperial court in the future!"
Of course, Zhang Juexia was exaggerating, but Shen Liang took it seriously. "Thanks to my wife for your good words, that day will come."
The two of them were talking and soon arrived at Zhang Juexia's house.
After Chen Liang settled Zhang Juexia and her son, he prepared to rush back. After all, the food shop was the busiest at night, and he was a little worried, so he would check on it almost every night.
Zhang Juexia signaled the nanny to carry Ye Ben to the backyard to rest, while she left Shen Liang behind.
After Shen Liang sat down, Li Yun asked Guihua to serve tea. Zhang Juexia took the teacup and drank a sip of tea first. "I haven't talked for such a long time. My throat is a little uncomfortable."
Shen Liang also picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down, “I think Madam is in a very good mood today.”
"After all, I haven't seen the old lady for a long time. She misses me, and I miss her too!
So, there is no end to the story. I wonder if the old lady will be tired?"
"This is not easy to handle. I will go to the Shen Mansion tomorrow to find out what's going on."
Zhang Juexia also thought this was a good idea. "Then I'll trouble you to make the trip."
"That day Granny Liu told me that you were more polite this time, but I didn't believe it.
Looking at it this way today, Madam is indeed much more polite than before."
Zhang Juexia knew that Shen Liang was joking and didn’t take it to heart, “Since you all have suggestions, I will change it.
Shen Liang, I kept you here because I have something to tell you."
When Shen Liang heard that Zhang Juexia wanted to talk about something, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Madam, go ahead."
Seeing Shen Liang so formal, Zhang Juexia didn't know what to say. Forget it, she didn't care and said whatever she thought of. "Shen Liang, I have agreed with Mrs. Shen today that she will also go to join in the fun when you get married."
Shen Liang really didn’t expect that he would have such a big face, “Madam, are you serious?”
“Look at you, how can I joke about this?
The old lady told me this in person at the dinner table today, so it couldn't be false."
"That's great, ma'am, don't worry, I will make good preparations.
The old lady loves to listen to operas, so I will hire a troupe and guarantee that she will be satisfied."
“The old lady said, don’t pay too much attention to her, she’s just old and here to join in the fun.
Just let you be your groom with peace of mind."
"That won't do, ma'am. You don't know how much honor it would be if the old lady could come to my wedding day."
Zhang Juexia looked at Chen Liang's happy expression, which did not seem to be fake. As long as he was happy, he could do whatever he wanted. Zhang Juexia did not intend to persuade him.
As Zhang Juexia looked around for someone, Li Yun happened to come in with some cakes. "I saw that the cakes you brought back were good, Madam. I thought these were what you would like to eat, so I brought some up specially for you."
Zhang Juexia's eyes lit up when he saw the cakes. "These are made in the kitchen of the Shen Mansion. They are really delicious. You should all try some."
Shen Liang was not polite and reached out to take a piece, “Madam, the old lady really dotes on you. The snacks in the Shen Mansion kitchen are not something that ordinary people can eat, not to mention, she brought you so many at once.”
