Her eyes were full of anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin shook her head and said, "I can't give it to you."
Why?
"That recipe is not to be shared."
"But I'm not an outsider either. Aren't I your stepmother?"
Shen Qiyin chuckled: "I don't even care about my own father, do you think I would treat my stepmother as one of my own?"
"Why not?" Li Zhenzhu's expression remained unchanged, and she didn't even stop eating sunflower seeds: "You don't care about that scoundrel because he's not worth caring about."
"So what if he's your own father? If he doesn't treat you well, you shouldn't be nice to him!"
"So what if she's your stepmother? Even though she's not your biological daughter, I see that those two little girls beside you are also unrelated to you, and you treat them quite well, don't you?"
Shen Qiyin's eyes flickered slightly, a strange light flashing across them in an instant.
She didn't say anything, but when Li Zhenzhu left, she gave her all her melon seeds.
After Li Zhenzhu left, Shen Qiyin sat alone for a while before getting up and going to Zhuijin Hall.
Coincidentally, neither Shen Cang nor Shen Mengyin were in the house.
Old Madam Shen was fast asleep, her breathing shallow, as if she were dead.
Shen Qiyin took her pulse.
At this moment, Old Madam Shen suddenly woke up!
Her eyes were wide open, as if she had died with her eyes open in disbelief, and she grabbed Shen Qiyin's wrist: "You, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Madam Shen immediately put her hands back under the covers, then closed her eyes and "slept" again.
Shen Qiyin gently raised her beautiful arched eyebrows.
When Shen Mengyin lifted the curtain and walked in, she paused noticeably. She then looked at Old Madam Shen on the bed and, seeing that the latter was still asleep, breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Why has Second Sister come?"
"Can't I come?"
"Of course not." Shen Mengyin remained humble and submissive. "Grandmother's illness hasn't improved at all. Has Second Sister examined her pulse?"
"Look, he won't die anytime soon." Thinking of something, Shen Qiyin added meaningfully, "It won't delay your marriage."
"My grandmother is seriously ill, how could I possibly think about anything else..."
In fact, she wished the old woman would die sooner.
In this way, she could refuse the marriage proposal from the Marquis's family under the pretext of observing mourning.
I heard that the Imperial Concubine listened to Song Lanyan's suggestion and advised His Majesty to open a girls' school. After the New Year, she will start admitting students. She wants to go. She wants everyone to know that the Shen family has more than one Shen Qiyin!
So some things can't be put off any longer!
After Shen Qiyin left, Shen Mengyin went to find Shen Cang. Just as Li Zhenzhu had said, the father and daughter talked about something behind each other's backs. In any case, that night, Shen Mengyin suddenly stumbled into the Begonia Courtyard, crying and banging on Shen Qiyin's door, saying, "Second sister, wake up! Something terrible has happened!"
"My grandmother..."
"He's dead!"
