Chapter 219 Getting Married (4)
Shen Yuan looked at Shen Miao deeply and said with a smile: "Yes, I will go now." After that, he bowed to Old Lady Shen and said: "Grandmother, I will go to see my sister first. I, as the eldest brother, am not with my sister. Now she is getting married. I don’t know if she will be bullied in the future. I can only say a few words to her and leave first." After that, he turned around neatly, glanced at everyone, and left quickly.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word to Shen Gui.
In the past, although the relationship between Shen Gui and Shen Yuan could not be said to be particularly close, they were father and son after all. Shen Gui valued Shen Yuan and took good care of him, and Shen Yuan treated Shen Gui with respect. Today's attitude was obviously a problem. Shen Gui's face was ashen and he clenched his fists. Old Madam Shen gave him a reproachful look, feeling a little annoyed. She waved her hand and said, "Help me back to my room!"
Old Madam Shen had no intention of attending the wedding banquet today. In her opinion, the guests invited to the banquet were mostly high-ranking officials and nobles, and they knew the ins and outs of this marriage very well. She couldn't bring herself to embarrass herself by going again, as she couldn't afford to lose such a blessing. She immediately asked Madam Zhang to help her back to her room.
After Old Madam Shen left, there was some awkwardness in the hall. Shen Yue glanced at Shen Miao and asked, "Fifth sister, what did you give to Big Sister as a gift for her makeup?"
“Just some jewelry.” Shen Miao said calmly.
Shen Yue said "Oh", and seeing that she didn't want to pay attention, although she was angry in her heart, she didn't show it on her face in front of Shen Xin and his wife, and stood quietly beside Chen Ruoqiu.
Shen Wan looked at Shen Xin: "Brother, now that Yuan'er is back, what should we do?"
"What does Yuan'er's return have to do with me?" Chen Xin asked doubtfully, "I can't even take care of my own Jiaojiao and Qiu'er, so how can I take care of the second brother's son? Third brother, your third branch has few people. If there is nothing else, just help the second brother. We are all brothers." He said earnestly.
Chen Xin appears honest and kind, but in reality, he's a venomous snake. This was evident from Xie Ding, the Marquis of Lin'an, who had never gotten a good word from him in decades of dealing with him. After Shen Wan finished speaking, before he could even react, Chen Ruoqiu was so angry that her nails dug into her palms. Everyone knew that the third branch of the family was small, and Chen Ruoqiu didn't even have a son besides Chen Yue. Although Shen Wan was deeply in love with Chen Ruoqiu, Old Madam Shen had long wanted to take a concubine for him because Chen Ruoqiu couldn't bear a son. Chen Xin was stabbing Chen Ruoqiu in the heart.
"Yes, sister-in-law," Luo Xueyan also said with a smile, "Don't always worry about other people's affairs. I know you two are kind-hearted, but it's time to think about your own affairs. Sister Yue is already so old, and it would be a bit lonely if she didn't have a brother to help her after she got married."
A smile welled up in Shen Miao's eyes. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were not good at fighting in the backyard, but their experience on the battlefield gave them a more sensitive intuition than others. The Shen Wan couple wanted to sow discord, but they were easily disrupted by Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan.
"Sister, let's go see the eldest sister too." Chen Qiu patted Chen Miao's shoulder: "Your makeup is still with me."
Shen Miao knew that Shen Qiu had something to say to her, so she nodded and said yes. After greeting a few people, she and Shen Qiu walked towards the west courtyard.
“Sister, Shen Yuan is hostile to you.” Shen Qiu said.
"I know."
"He may know the reason for the incident." Shen Qiu was a little anxious: "He likes to do evil things in secret and is quite scheming. I'm afraid he will avenge Shen Qing and will always find a way to harm you. You, you stay in the mansion these days and don't go out."
