Chapter 35 What is she doing here?

"But the last time Wang Sheng took me to the Shen family, things got awkward. I'm afraid..." Lin Wan'er said anxiously, "They may not accept me..."

"How do you know if it works if you don't try? My dear daughter, the only one who can help you now is the Shen family!"

…

The Mansion of Marquis Yongyi.

Everyone in the mansion changed into new clothes for winter. Shen Zongguang customized a pear wood wheelchair for Shen Feiyu so that he could sit in the wheelchair and be pushed out by a maid to bask in the sun instead of lying in the house all day.

Since the beginning of winter, the weather has turned cooler, and everyone in the mansion has been burning silver bone charcoal, and there is not a trace of coldness.

The second room was in a state of desolation.

"A-choo..." Old Madam Shen sneezed because she was frozen. She covered the stove with her hands and shouted at Qin Hanyan in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing as the mistress of the house? It's so cold, and you don't even buy some silver bone charcoal! This is my first year of living here with you in the second house, and you treat me so harshly?!"

After all, Qin Hanyan is a concubine's daughter who is not presentable and cannot be as generous as the wife of the eldest son.

She used to live in the big house, but she burned silver charcoal all day long. Why did she need to wear such thick clothes and cover herself with a broken stove?

"Mother, you know that our mansion has been robbed," Qin Hanyan complained, "We haven't found the whereabouts of the thieves yet, and Berlin has lost his salary. We are struggling to make ends meet, so where can we get the money to buy such expensive silver bone charcoal!"

"This year, our family's business is almost unable to sustain itself. We have to borrow money from outside to make ends meet. Fangcheng borrowed money to study. The servants in this mansion haven't received their monthly wages yet," Qin Hanyan continued with a frown. "The money we borrowed is only enough to buy some charcoal. Most of it is in your room. Why don't you try lighting some charcoal?"

"The charcoals were so stinking that they started smoking when lit. They almost choked an old skeleton of mine to death!" Old Mrs. Shen hung her face, looking unhappy.

Ever since the family split up and she came to the second house, she has never had a good day.

There was a thief in the mansion on the first day after arriving, and everyone in the mansion was hungry.

After being used to eating sea cucumbers, abalone, bird's nests and bear's paws in the first house, he came to the second house to eat bran and vegetables, steamed buns and drink millet porridge.

Not only is the food bad, but the clothes they wear are also old ones.

All the clothes she was wearing were made by the embroiderer at the request of the eldest wife when she lived in the eldest house.

And now, it’s almost winter, but I don’t even have a new piece of clothing to wear!

"Mom, don't you have some money? How about you give me some money and I will buy something for you?" Qin Hanyan asked tentatively.

Their second branch was already broke, and since the old lady was her husband's biological mother, she should give them more subsidies!

Old Mrs. Shen had no choice but to take out a purse from her box and threw it to Qin Hanyan, "Go buy some more meat. I feel uncomfortable without meat today."

"Yes." Qin Hanyan left with the money bag and a smile.

…

When Qin Hanyan left, she met Shen Fangcheng in the corridor.

"Mom, I should buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone." Shen Fangcheng pursed his lips and said.

"Okay." Qin Hanyan touched her son's head. Her son was the future top scholar, so he must not save money on his studies.

"Also... everyone in the private school has new winter clothes, but I'm still wearing my old clothes." Shen Fangcheng pursed his lips and said unhappily, "Even that idiot Shen Yuanbai is dressed better than me."

Today in the private school, he was already laughed at.

Qin Hanyan gritted her teeth. How could she not know? The emperor gave the eldest house many good things. Even the servants in the eldest house had new clothes to wear in the winter. But her son didn't have any new clothes. How could this be possible? !

Qin Hanyan's eyes fell on the money bag in her hand. She had an idea, "Fang Cheng, mother will make you new clothes. You don't have to worry about those mixed crowds. You are the future champion."

"As for that idiot, what are you comparing yourself to? Don't lower your own worth."

"Yeah." Shen Fangcheng nodded.

"How are your studies going recently?" Qin Hanyan touched Shen Fangcheng's head and asked.

Shen Fangcheng lowered his eyes and said, "Very good."

"Mother knew it, my son is very talented and destined to be the top scholar!" Qin Hanyan was in high spirits.

That bitch Qin Yunshuang gave birth to a fool son and a useless son. What can she compare him with?

She has a son who is the top scholar in the imperial examination, and a daughter named Ruyi who is very talented and blessed!

Shen Fangcheng pursed his lips and didn't tell Qin Hanyan that... for some reason, his memory when studying was not as good as before.

In the past, he could read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he read, but recently, he has to read it two or three times before he can memorize it.

Originally, what he was most proud of was his memory.

As for that fool, recently, I don’t know what happened. Not only did he study hard, but he could even answer questions fluently when the teacher asked him questions. Many people said that the fool’s stupid head had become smart...

This made him very unhappy.

A fool is a fool, what can he compare himself with!

When the next exam comes, he will use his grades to crush that idiot!

——

That day, Qin Yunshuang changed Shen Tang into a small dress that the embroiderer had just made. The dress was lotus pink in color, with beautiful patterns embroidered on it. There was a circle of snow-white fluff at the collar and cuffs. When worn on the little girl, her skin looked even whiter and more tender, as if she were a piece of ice sculpture.

"Our little Tangbao is so cute." Qin Yunshuang liked her more and more as she looked at her. She hugged Shen Tang and kissed her little face.

The little girl's big, dark and moist eyes were sparkling. She blinked and pointed her chubby little fingers at a pile of peach cakes on the table, "Yeah... Yeah..."

The little mouth began to drool.

"You little glutton." Qin Yunshuang smiled helplessly. She held little Shentang in her arms and sat at the table. "You are too young to eat it now. Mother can only let you taste it."

Qin Yunshuang took a piece of peach cake and put it in Shen Tang's little mouth. The little girl's eyes were wide open like black grapes. She stretched out her pink tongue to touch the peach cake, but she didn't expect the peach cake to be too sticky. It stuck to her tongue and couldn't fall off.

"Wow...wuh..." The little kid stared anxiously.

The long peach slices stuck to the little girl's tongue, making it look like she was sticking out a long, white tongue, which was funny and cute.

"Hahahaha, kid..." Qin Yunshuang couldn't help laughing.

[My mother is still laughing at me... I'm going to get angry...]

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Qin Yunshuang took the peach cake off the little boy's tongue. There was still some icing sugar on the little boy's pink tongue, and even his pink mouth turned white. She couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, the butler came to report——

"Madam, the eldest daughter of the Lin family is here to see you."

Lin Wan'er?

What is she here for?
