Chapter 111 Grandmother

Shen Xi didn't know the inside story, but after hearing what Shen Yun said, he nodded with relief, "I hope he's not the kind of person who bullies others by taking advantage of his power."

"You'll know when you see him."

Shen Xi shook his head subconsciously, "It's nothing, why would I watch others do anything?"

Before dinner, Mrs. Shen called her little granddaughter into the room alone and handed her a letter.

"Before we were preparing to go to Beijing, your maternal grandparents asked someone to send this to you, saying it was for you, along with this box." Old Madam Shen gestured at the small box on the table.

Shen Yuan held the letter with mixed feelings.

"My cousin came to my coming-of-age ceremony, and my grandmother asked her to bring a gift."

"She is your grandmother after all, so it's understandable that you want to get closer to her."

In fact, Old Madam Shen did not understand. No one had expected the second son's wife to fall ill. She could not understand why her daughter was gone and her son-in-law ignored her, but why her grandson and granddaughter were also missing.

When the child arrived at the door, the door was closed. At first, she was so angry about this that she almost went to the house to argue with the mother-in-law.

In her opinion, her grandson and granddaughter should not bother to please their grandmother anymore. However, the children have grown up and want to be close to their grandmother. As a grandmother, she cannot stop them.

Shen Yuan took the letter and shook his head. "Grandma, I don't want to get close to you. How can we get close after not seeing each other for so many years? I wrote to you just to thank you for the gift you sent me. I told her that my brother, my father and I have never forgotten my mother, and my father has raised my brother and me very well."

"Grandma, I'm going back first."

Speaking of his mother, Shen Yuan felt a little depressed for no reason. After returning to his room, Shen Yuan sat alone on the bed and opened the letter.

The letter was not long, just a thin piece of paper. My grandmother said that my cousin had also sent a letter back, saying that she looked very much like my mother, and that she would visit her home next time she went to Jinling.

Other than that, they were all normal words, telling her to listen to her father and live a good life.

She also said that there were four thousand taels of silver in the small box, half of which was for her brother and the other half for her.

After reading the letter, Shen Yuan felt calm. She hadn't seen her grandmother for many years and she never expected her grandmother to love her much.

Shen Yuan opened the box, took a look, and closed it again. She was not going to take the money. She planned to give it to her father tomorrow and ask him what to do with it.

By the time Shen Xi came over, Shen Yuan had already calmed down and there was no sign of anything wrong with her.

This is Shen Yuan. She never keeps any worries in her heart. She is very good at comforting herself and making herself happy.

After turning off the lights at night, the two sisters lay side by side on the bed. As soon as Shen Xi lay down, she couldn't wait to ask about Shen Yuan and Xie Hui.

"Hurry up and tell your sister about what happened between you and Master Xie."

It's such a wonderful thing that two people are in love with each other. Shen Xi turned to look at her sister with a gentle smile on her face.

Shen Yuan originally thought that he had a lot to say about himself and Xie Hui, but when the time came to speak, he didn't know where to start.

"Actually, I don't know why I like him. If I say it's because he's handsome, isn't that too superficial? But it seems to be like this. When I saw him racing dragon boats before, my heart suddenly started pounding. And when I see him, I always feel that he is very reliable, especially when he saved me that time."

"Saved you?!" Shen Xi was originally listening with a smile, but suddenly became serious after hearing this, and sat up with his hands on the bed, "Did something happen to you?"

Shen Yuan realized it was too late after she said this. She had sent her grandmother and elder sister back home, and something happened outside the city. She didn't dare to tell her grandmother afterwards, fearing that she would worry, and she had planned to keep it a secret.

Seeing that her sister remained silent, Shen Xi guessed that it was definitely not a trivial matter, and her tone became more serious.

"Tell me what's going on."

Shen Yuan had no choice but to turn around silently, facing away from his elder sister, and talked about the kidnapping incident outside the city that day.

"It's such a big deal, why are you telling me now? Is your injury healed? Let your sister see." Shen Xi said, and even tried to pull Shen Yuan's collar.

Shen Yuan quickly stopped her, "Sister, sister, it's been a long time, it should have disappeared a long time ago."

Shen Yuan grabbed Shen Xi's hand, but suddenly felt a drop of warmth falling on the back of his hand.

"Sister, why are you crying? I'm fine, right? Nothing happened. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you and grandma would worry. My wound healed after applying ointment for a few days. I also helped the court solve a big case."

"You went to see us off, but you didn't tell us about such a serious incident. Grandma is old, and you might have been afraid that she would be frightened, but why did you hide it from me?"

"Then it's alright, so I won't say anything. Why would I make you cry for nothing?"

"Don't do this next time. No, there won't be a next time for this. When I see Master Xiao Xie someday, I will definitely thank him for saving you."

"Hehe, I originally thought he didn't like me, but after this incident, I realized that he actually likes me. But I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm pretty."

Shen Yuan touched his face and said in a very cocky way.

"So, you two are going to get engaged soon, right?"

"Engagement? I haven't thought about it yet. Dad will definitely not want to let me go. Let's talk about it later." Shen Yuan turned over and snuggled into Shen Xi's arms. "Good night, sister."

…

December 26th is the last court meeting of the year. From the 27th, the court is sealed to allow ministers to go home and reunite with their families.

This holiday is long, lasting until the 16th day of the first lunar month, when the first grand court assembly of the new year is held.

Old Madam Shen and her family also arrived in the capital on the 26th. They didn't go anywhere after arriving. They rested at home for two days and then prepared for the New Year.

The two families had already agreed on this year's trip, and He Ying's parents and grandfather also came to the Shen family. The two families celebrated the New Year together, and it was lively.

The He family thought it was against the rules at first, but later they figured it out. What's the point of following the rules? Their daughter is getting married, so are the three old guys just going to sit there and stare at each other? The most important thing is to spend the New Year with their daughter.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Shen Yuan was pulled out of bed by Qingdai.

"Girl, get up quickly and change your clothes. You have to take off your old clothes and put on new clothes on New Year's Eve."

Shen Yuan opened his hazy eyes and smiled when he saw Qingdai and Baizhi both wearing festive new clothes.

After a while, Qingdai and the others dressed Shen Yuan up like a big red envelope.

"The girl is so pretty, so red and hot."

"It's too red, isn't it? Does it look good?" Except for a circle of white fur on the cuffs and collar, the whole dress is red. If she goes out, people would probably see her from three miles away.

"Of course it looks good! You have to dress like this today. If the old lady and the old man see you dressed so festively, they might give you more red envelopes."

"Miss, Miss, the butler asked me to bring this to you. He said it was sent from the Princess's Mansion."

Fuling ran in excitedly from outside, holding an exquisite box in her hand.

"Miss, this must have been sent by Master Xie, right?"
