Chapter 486

When Shen Ziju heard that his parents and his sister were going to the Ye family to meet his fourth brother and his wife, he felt a little nervous. His parents and his fourth brother and his wife had a bad relationship. His father had often scolded them loudly before, and his mother was even suspected of being the murderer of his eldest mother. How could they expect to be treated well if they went there? What's more, when his fourth brother and his wife came to the capital, his parents insisted that his fourth brother and his wife go to meet them for the sake of saving face and insisted on not coming to see them. Now that the news that Xiaori was the eldest prince had spread, they ran to their house. Even if people didn't show it on their faces, they would laugh at them in their hearts. How embarrassing.

It's not that Shen Ziju didn't want his parents to go. After all, his parents are his parents. Even if his fourth brother and his wife don't like his parents anymore, if the elders lower themselves to curry favor with them, they will have to agree as long as the request is not excessive.

However, Shen Ziju thought that his parents should not go immediately, but should wait for two days, at least until there were fewer people going to the Ye Mansion. He thought so because if his parents had a dispute with his fourth brother and others again, they would not let outsiders see it, at least to save face.

"Brother, please get in the car, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Zhu said to Shen Ziju, interrupting his thoughts. All she wanted now was to get to Ye's house as soon as possible. She was going there with a purpose this time, and the sooner she went, the better!

Shen Ziju looked at Shen Zhu's anxious expression, thinking that his sister had not liked to go to the Ye family since her fourth brother and his wife moved in. She was in such a hurry to go now because Xiaori was the prince. She was actually a bit proud in her bones, and she would never just want to curry favor with others. She probably went there with a purpose. He sighed in his heart, thinking that if he went there, he would be laughed at for being a child, but would he be chased out by his fourth brother and his wife?

Shen Ziju got on the carriage and told his parents and sister what he meant, hoping that they would come back. He would go to the Ye Mansion first and persuade his fourth brother to visit his parents for the sake of reputation.

Shen Youfu hesitated for a moment. He had always attached great importance to his youngest son's words, and after hearing what his youngest son said, it seemed a bit embarrassing for him to go there.

Shen Zhang said, "Your fourth brother is a straightforward person. He will not change his mind once he has made up his mind. He stopped visiting us in the village in the past because of his reputation. Why would he do that now? He might get angry and tell us why he didn't visit us. Wouldn't that make us even more embarrassed? It would also damage your reputation. It's better for us to go now. He can't chase us away. There are many people going to the Ye Mansion today. At least people will know that you are his brother and Zhu'er is his sister."

Going to the Ye family is just to take advantage of the situation. This is what Shen Zhang thought.

After Shen Ziju heard what Shen Zhang said, he felt that it made sense.

Shen Zhu also chimed in, "Brother, it's never too late to do anything sooner. Let's go first and tell them that our parents heard about what happened last night. They are very worried about our fourth sister-in-law and Xiaori, so we went to see them in a hurry. Who knows, they might be touched and their previous misunderstandings might be resolved!"

"Zhu'er is right. When the time comes, just say you went there because you care about them. You don't know anything about the eldest prince."

Shen Youfu said. He felt that this would save his face, and his fourth son would be grateful for his concern.

Shen Zhang admired her daughter, thinking that her daughter had become less stable since she had experienced those emotional ups and downs. When she was not stable, she seemed not so thoughtful, which made her worried for a while, but now it seemed that she was still smart, which was good. If she really married into a wealthy family in the future, she would not have to worry too much about her.

Shen Zhu was determined to marry into a wealthy family, but Shen Ziju thought that was a bit unrealistic. However, Shen Zhang supported her. She had been of low status and could only marry a farmer in the end. Naturally, she hoped that her daughter could marry as high as possible, especially after she came to the capital and met someone she was afraid of, she wanted her daughter to marry well.

Shen Zi'an had not thought too much about marrying up with Shen Zhang of the Ye family. But now that Xiaori has become the eldest prince, Shen Zhang's mind has started to work, and she wants to gain the greatest benefit from it. Apart from Shen Ziju's official career, the next step is naturally Shen Zhu's marriage.

Shen Zhang thought that if Shen Zhu hooked up with the eldest prince, her status would immediately become noble, and she could marry whomever she wanted, right?

As for whether Xiaori lets them get on with it or not, isn't that up to human control?

After hearing what his parents and sister said, Shen Ziju felt that this was a less embarrassing approach. He also knew that he could not persuade them any further, so he had to agree to let them go.

"Dad, Mom, since you care about Fourth Sister-in-law and the others, did you bring any gifts? At least some cakes or something, right?"

Shen Ziju looked behind his parents, but found nothing. He thought to himself that his parents wanted to come directly to their house like this. It was really speechless. Even if they didn't care about the health of the fourth sister-in-law, could they at least bring some food for the children? Not to mention Yueyue and the eldest prince, the Ye family also has Xing'er. Even if they go to the Ye family to see their son, they can't go empty-handed, right? It would be fine if they went often, but Dad and Mom haven't been to the Ye family for a long time, and they haven't seen Xiaori and Yueyue for a long time.

Shen Youfu frowned. Although he was not short of money, he was still very frugal. He felt pained when he heard about spending money. But thinking that Xiaori was the eldest prince and Xing'er was the son of the prime minister, it would not be a waste to give them some food, so he asked them to buy a few pounds of cakes when they passed by the snack shop.

Just like that, the Shen family became the most frugal group of guests who went to the Ye family that day, attracting the attention of those who came out of the Ye family to give gifts.

Shen Ziju was a little embarrassed by the gazes of those people, but he was polite on the surface. When he met someone he knew, he would naturally mention that his fourth sister-in-law was attacked last night and that his parents came to visit. When the others heard this, they immediately understood and their eyes immediately became enthusiastic, which finally made Shen Ziju feel better. At the same time, he also realized how much impact Xiao Ri becoming the eldest prince would have on their Shen family.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi knew that Shen Youfu and his friends were here. They looked at each other and knew the reason why Shen Youfu and his friends came. It was because of Xiao Ri's status as the eldest prince that the Shen family wanted to get close to him and take advantage of him. Su Zhi patted Shen Zian's hand and Shen Zian smiled at her.

Xiao Ri didn't have any good feelings towards his grandfather and grandmother. He still remembered how they bullied his parents, and they didn't like him very much. He felt it was so fake that they were being so affectionate to him. There was no smile on his little face, and even when Shen Youfu and the others saluted him, he didn't ask them to stop.

When Shen Zian and Su Zhi arrived, what they saw was Xiao Ri sitting on a chair like a little adult with a stern face. Xing'er and Yueyue were beside him, also looking at the four people from the Shen family without saying a word.

Ye Wenru was talking to Shen Ziju, and Mrs. Ye was sitting beside them.

"Fourth Brother Shen, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Ye saw Shen Zian and his wife coming in and greeted them with a smile. She wondered why the old man of the Shen family was so blind to treat such a lovely young couple? As the saying goes, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. She looked down on the old couple of the Shen family and also disliked Shen Zhu after she understood her true character. She had no smile on her face just now, but now she smiled all of a sudden.

The Shen family members were not fools, so they knew the attitude of the Ye family towards them. They were not very happy, but they did not dare to show it. Moreover, they came to see Shen Zian and Su Zhi today, not the Ye family members.

Shen Zian helped Su Zhi in. Shen Zian nodded. Su Zhi bent her knees slightly as a greeting, and then walked aside.

Shen Youfu's forehead was throbbing with veins. He thought that this unfilial son and daughter-in-law was disrespectful to him in front of outsiders. He was really not afraid of being laughed at. If it weren't for Xiaori becoming the eldest prince, he would not have come to see them! Now, not only can he not scold her in front of the Ye family, but also in front of Xiaori. He was really suffocated.

Shen Zhang had a faint smile on her face, which was very natural. She always managed to make herself the most innocent person.

Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu paid their respects to Shen Zian and Su Zhi, after which Shen Ziju expressed his concern, which was sincere. Seeing Su Zhi appear in front of him safely, he was relieved. He thought that he could only watch his fourth brother and his wife grow old together, but he was quite satisfied to be able to see them often.

Although Shen Zian and Su Zhi did not like this fifth brother, they did not hate him either. They admired him a little bit and smiled at his genuine concern. They told him what happened yesterday.

Shen Zhu smiled and said, "It's great that Fourth Sister-in-law is okay. My brother and I were extremely worried. My parents were also so worried that they couldn't even sleep. They came to inquire about your safety early in the morning. We heard that you are safe and sound, and that you have turned a disaster into a blessing and helped Xiaori figure out his life experience. We are very happy for you. This is really a great happy event for our Shen family!"

Su Zhi thought to herself that she was really shameless to say "our Shen family" at this time, but she was too lazy to argue with her. Sometimes, gold is not something that can be stuck to one's face just because one wants it. She would just watch her performance here, just as if it were a show, and it was free.

Shen Zian also stood aside silently, took a sip of the tea brought by the maid, and felt that the tea brewed by his wife was still better. He thought that Brother Ye and the others took away all the tea sent by his wife, so even he couldn't drink it. However, this showed that his wife's tea was good, and he was very happy.

Shen Zhu felt very embarrassed when she saw that no one responded to her words, but she was thick-skinned and turned to talk to the Ye couple. After a few words, she hinted that she wanted to talk to her family.

The Ye family couple were not blind people, but they knew some of the things going on in the Shen family, so they just sat there and did nothing.

"This is the Ye Residence. How can a host give way to guests? If you have anything to say, talk somewhere else. Then you can speak frankly without hiding anything."
