She praised him from head to toe, feeling that even the strands of her beloved grandson's hair smelled sweet.
"Our Guangzong is truly remarkable; his father's choice of name for him was well-deserved."
"When I die, I will have the face to face the ancestors of the Shen family."
After saying that, he also praised Shen Yaozu a few more times, urging him to strive like Shen Guangzong and bring glory to the Shen family.
As her gaze swept over Shen Qiyin, who had just entered, the smile in Old Madam Shen's eyes faded slightly, and she said coldly, "Second girl, I discussed it with your father yesterday. Once the matter with the Thousand Eagle Guard is settled, you should go out of the manor less often in the future."
Shen Qiyin looked up at her.
Madam Shen continued, "Your elder brother will soon be a government official, and his salary will be far greater than the meager earnings you make at the clinic! There's no need for you to keep running around all day and making yourself a laughingstock."
"Furthermore, if his colleagues find out about this, it's hard to guarantee that it won't damage his reputation."
"You should listen to your father. Once that gentleman is cured, you should stay quietly in the manor and stop showing your face at Guangrentang!"
Honeysuckle listened, her back teeth grinding together.
She said they should have been poisoned long ago!
When they were using her mistress, they never thought about how hard or tiring it was for her; but when they didn't need her, they started to complain that she was a disgrace!
Shen Qiyin herself didn't have much of a reaction.
She only gave a soft "hmm" and said nothing else.
Perhaps seeing that she was very obedient today, Madam Shen did not continue to target her, but sighed with regret: "Alas... it's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise it would be good if you could inherit your father's mantle."
"At that time, you three brothers, whether in or out of power, will help each other. You'll have no fear that the Shen family won't rise to prominence!"
"Unlike now, where there's absolutely no hope for us..."
"What a pity, what a pity."
Shen Xiyin also felt it was a pity.
It's a pity that such a big mouth can't speak human language.
However, Shen Qiyin felt that the old lady was right about one thing: she really couldn't count on her, but it was wishful thinking for her to count on her eldest grandson!
The thought had barely formed when a young maidservant rushed in.
She looked flustered, and as soon as she ran into the main hall, she tripped and fell to the ground with a thud, a few drops of sweat dripping from her forehead.
The old lady frowned: "You're getting more and more unruly! What are you doing in such a hurry? Are you being chased by a dog?"
"No, no..." The little maid swallowed hard and stammered, "It's...it's the government officials who have arrived. They're at the gate and urgently need to see the young master."
Shen Yaozu immediately stood up.
The maidservant said, "It's the eldest young master."
Shen Yaozu: "..."
He sat back down silently with a sour face.
Shen Qiyin pursed her lips, almost unable to suppress her laughter.
Shen Guangzong also noticed Shen Yaozu's actions. Perhaps to spite him, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and then strode out with his head held high.
Chen Xiyin wanted to be even happier.
Why would he be so happy when he's about to die?
