"I also have a set of four treasures of the study for my aunt's cousin. I heard that he started school last year, so it's perfect for him now."
Hui ink, Xuan brush, Chengxintang paper, and Duan inkstone, this set is worth a fortune.
Seeing such a gift, cousin Shen Wei thought of what his mother had just done and his own desire to laugh at her, and his cheeks suddenly turned red.
He deserves to die. How could a scholar do such a thing?
Then there were two longevity locks, also inlaid with fine gemstones and jade, which were given to Shen Liao's two children.
She remained calm and composed, as if she had not just been humiliated by a broken bracelet.
This way of acting made it seem as if she was the one from a royal family, while their family was just a family of minor officials.
He was so self-righteous that he wanted to humiliate someone with a broken bracelet, but he ended up getting his face swollen, revealing his petty nature.
This was the first time for the old lady, despite her age, that she felt like she was being slapped in the face.
She took a deep breath and said, "These are all top-notch items. It would be a waste to give them to them."
Tu Qingyu chuckled, "No matter how good something is, it's still useless. As long as it's useful, it's not a waste."
The two cousins wanted to throw the thing back to her, but the bracelet was too beautiful.
They really want it.
Yang knew what her daughters were thinking at a glance. After glaring at them, she gritted her teeth and said:
"I've heard that Lord Tu has always been honest and incorruptible. I wonder what these things of Qingyu are..."
"Auntie, are you suspecting that Qingyu's things are not legitimate?"
"No, I just..."
"That's right. The Marquis's Mansion is a high-ranking family. It's normal for my aunt to look down on it. Qingyu showing off these little things is really embarrassing."
"I thought I might be disliked before I came here." She glanced at Su Xue. Su Xue and Gou Yue hurriedly took the things out, came back in, and changed a tray.
Everyone: ???
Is there such a thing?
Tu Qingyu pinched the handkerchief, looking very sad. "Qingyu is petty. The Marquis' Mansion is a place. What Qingyu has is really not good enough."
"But I have to give you a gift. These are all embroidered by Qingyu herself, including headbands, kneepads, sachets, and handkerchiefs. They are all little tokens of my love."
After she finished speaking, she patted her chest, looking frightened, "Fortunately, Qingyu made two preparations, otherwise, it would really be a joke."
After all this singing, reciting, acting and fighting, everyone present was holding their breath, but they couldn't say it out loud. They liked the first gift.
After all, they are a marquisate, a wealthy family that has seen all kinds of good things.
Even she, a concubine's daughter of a small official, doesn't like this thing, but they are eager to get it. Isn't it a slap in the face?
Shen Liao remained silent throughout the entire process, just watching from the side.
Even when he knew she was fighting back, a smile flashed in his eyes.
He picked up an embroidery and his fingers accidentally touched the back of Tu Qingyu's hand.
[Hmm… how come I only embroidered two stitches?]
It's confirmed that his little wife did it on purpose.
But he wasn't angry, he just thought it was cute.
He put down the embroidery in his hand and said, "It's all embroidered very well. You put a lot of thought into it."
He then looked at everyone and said, "The thought is the most precious thing. Everyone will be satisfied this time."
He has said so, how can they not be satisfied?
The old lady did not invite them to dinner, obviously she was angry.
When they went back, they were followed by the two children from last night - Chen Chen and Chen Yao.
In the main courtyard, the two sat at the head of the main hall. Shen Liao waved, "Come here and meet your mother."
Both children were reluctant, but seeing the look in Shen Liao's eyes, they had to come over and salute.
Tu Qingyu smiled and said, "Quick, no need to be polite."
She even saw Chen Yao secretly roll her eyes when she stood up.
[Tsk, that eye roll is so ugly.]
Shen Liao was stunned and looked at the children below, just in time to see Chen Yao's expression which had not yet been retracted.
He frowned slightly, then turned to Tu Qingyu and said, "From now on, Madam, you will have to take care of these two children. If they do anything wrong, feel free to punish them."
My grandmother is old now, and I don’t know when she will...
Even if the grandmother could live a hundred years and wait for the two children to grow up, she would still be too doting on them.
In the few years since Daiyue left, the child's character has already begun to deteriorate.
Today I finally know that his little wife is calm, intelligent and will not suffer any loss.
If the two children were left to her to raise, they would probably be raised very well.
"You are joking, my Lord. The two children raised by the old lady are naturally the most sensible and well-mannered children. I am only a few years old now, how can I know how to raise children?"
This actually means that he doesn't want to interfere.
Then he heard, "Please don't, I don't want to get involved at all. Didn't you see how harsh she was yesterday? A concubine's daughter of a minor official, don't even think about getting her approval."
Tsk, you act like you’re such a nobody.
Does this Marquis know that even if a child is truly sensible and well-mannered, the children of the second wife and the original wife are the most difficult to get along with?
Don't let me flatter them when they're nice, or be harsh on them when they're not.]
[Besides, I really don't like these two kids. They're only seven or eight years old, even dogs would dislike them.]
Hearing these words, he felt angry, after all, it was his own child.
But when he turned around, he saw the girl smiling slightly, with curved eyebrows and eyes. Her clear and bright eyes instantly extinguished all the anger in his heart.
What is he angry about?
Since she got married, she has always been gentle and polite.
It was his two children who provoked him first, so it's no wonder that others are unhappy.
It was his family who first humiliated him using a broken bracelet, so it's no wonder that he has a rift with this family.
Besides, she was only seventeen years old, and she was already very nervous after suddenly coming here. She hadn't even gotten familiar with the place when she ran into trouble.
He sighed, "Forget it, let's talk about this later. Let's eat first."
Chen Yao didn't want to see this devilish stepmother at all. She squatted down and said, "Daddy, my great-grandmother is still waiting for my brother and I to go back for dinner. I will go back to my great-grandmother first."
After she finished speaking, she tugged at Shen Chen's sleeve.
Chen Chen bowed, "My son will take his leave now."
Shen Liao didn't say anything, but just looked at his two children deeply.
He once again realized that if these two children continued to be spoiled, something bad would happen sooner or later.
"Daddy?" Chen Yao saw that he didn't answer, looked up and saw his dark eyes, feeling a little scared.
Shen Liao came back to his senses and said gently, "Go down."
After everyone left, the servants brought breakfast.
The nanny watched the lady eating with relish, wondering whether she should remind her to serve the Marquis first.
Just as she was struggling, Tu Qingyu suddenly looked up at her, "Mammy, what's wrong? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
"No..." Mammy shook her head.
Tu Qingyu: "Then go down. I don't like so many people watching me while I'm eating."
The first reaction of the nanny and the servants in the dining hall was to go see Shen Liao.
