Chapter 290 The Evil Sister-in-law Returns (2)
Mother Zhang was somewhat helpless and wanted to persuade him again, but she saw the maid at the door said, "Second Young Master, you are here."
Chen Yuan strode in.
"Yuan'er." Seeing Chen Yuan coming in, Mrs. Shen's attitude softened a lot. When Shen Yuanbo on the couch saw this, he also looked at his second brother with a smile.
Shen Yuan did not reach out to hug Shen Yuanbai, but just smiled and said: "Come and see grandma."
"What's so good about me?" Old Lady Shen said angrily, but her face was filled with joy. Of all her grandchildren, she loved Chen Yuan the most. Chen Yuan was so talented and learned at such a young age, and had entered the officialdom. Everyone praised him, which made her very proud. Naturally, he was the one that Old Lady Shen valued the most.
"I was lucky enough to get a bottle of Yuxue Cream, so I brought it to you, grandma. Please don't let your grandson's kindness go to waste."
Shen Yuan smiled and handed the bottle in his hand to Madam Shen.
Old Madam Shen was a little surprised, then pretended to be angry: "I'm already so old, and I still use these. Are you deliberately trying to piss me off?" Even so, her face showed an expression of not being able to let go of them.
After all, Old Madam Shen was born a singer, and she would never stop using these rouge and powder even when she got old. Shen Yuan also catered to her preferences, which immediately swept away Old Madam Shen's gloomy mood.
"Grandma is so young, and such good things should be used for her." Chen Yuan flattered without changing his expression. The grandfather and grandson continued to talk. Chen Yuan was a shrewd man. Old Lady Shen liked him. In addition, he deliberately chose words to please Old Lady Shen. The atmosphere in Rongjing Hall was extremely harmonious. Even Shen Yuanbo on the couch was ignored.
After talking for a while, Chen Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something and said casually, "Speaking of which, Grandma, it seems that my cousin will be here in a few days."
Old Madam Shen was taken aback for a moment, then said coldly, "What cousins? They'll be gone in a few days." Before becoming a singer, Old Madam Shen had family, perhaps it was her family who sold her into a brothel. Her ancestral home was in Suzhou, and later, General Shen brought her to Dingjing to become his wife, naturally severing ties with her family. But this year, that family somehow got wind of Old Madam Shen and sent their grandchildren to Dingjing, claiming they were there to see her. Everyone knew they were just trying to get her money.
For someone like Old Madam Shen who only cares about profit and forgets her principles, and she hasn't seen him for so many years, it's natural that she can't have any affection for him. Now that she hears Shen Yuan mention this matter, she naturally doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I've never seen this pair of cousins before. I think they're about the same age as my fifth sister." He sighed and said, "Come to think of it, when my eldest brother returned to Dingjing, I heard that my eldest uncle and eldest aunt are looking for a girl for him. I guess they're going to worry about something big for him."
"Chen Qiu is looking for a wife?" Old Madam Shen sat up straight immediately. "How come I didn't know about this? Yuan'er, do you know which family they are choosing?"
"I don't know about that," Chen Yuan thought for a moment, "but considering the family background of my uncle and aunt, it would be icing on the cake for them to choose a girl from a powerful family. My brother has such a promising future now, and I think with the support of my sister-in-law, he will be even more powerful and reach a higher level."
The more Shen Yuan said this, the uglier Madam Shen's expression became. After a while, she said sourly: "That depends on whether the girl likes him or not!"
Chen Yuan pretended not to know and said casually, "But the most important thing is that big brother likes her. If big brother likes her, then even if we don't have such a big family background, it won't matter. If I were to ask you, maybe our little cousin would be favored by big brother, and then we would be even closer relatives."
