Shen Chaodong got up early in the morning and waited in front of his mother's room.
When Nanny Wang reported to Madam Shen, she thought her son was here to pay his respects with his daughter-in-law again.
She looked displeased. This Liu Wanyun was really a vixen!
During dinner yesterday, the eldest wife came to say that the eldest young master was tired and would not come to eat.
She was so worried that she went to visit him after dinner.
When she arrived at the East Garden, she saw everyone in the courtyard standing at the door. She took a few steps inside suspiciously, and then she heard a faint, indescribable female voice coming from inside.
Her face turned pale and she turned around and came out.
Then, Mrs. Lin came to report that a lot of the hydrangeas in the garden had been moved back to the East Garden by the eldest young lady.
She complained to Mr. Shen, saying that this daughter-in-law was ungrateful, not like a lady from a noble family, and had no etiquette or sense of shame.
Mr. Shen retorted to her with one word.
"You didn't look for it based on these criteria in the first place!"
She was angry for a moment and drove Mr. Shen out again.
Mr. Shen had no choice but to go to Aunt Zhao's room to rest.
Mrs. Shen was afraid that her son would have to stand with her for too long, so as soon as she put on her clothes, she quickly let someone in.
At first glance, there was only her son, and no daughter-in-law behind him.
She asked in surprise, "Why are you here so early in the morning? Where's Wanyun?"
Chen Chaodong said without changing his expression, "Wanyun hurt her waist yesterday while moving soil and planting flowers in the garden!"
If she had not gone to Dongyuan, she would have believed her son's words without a doubt!
But it was not easy to expose this matter directly, so he could only say unhappily, "Just protect her!"
Shen Chaodong stood there obediently, "Mother, she is my wife, I naturally have to protect her."
"Grandfather always taught us that men in the Shen family must be kind to their wives. Women are made of water and represent wealth! If you make your woman cry, your wealth will cry away!"
"Peace in the inner house brings prosperity to the family!"
Mrs. Shen got angry when she heard him talk about grandfather!
This child only ever calls himself mother, unlike the second and third children, who often call her mother affectionately!
That year, she gave birth to three children, all sons. Naturally, she was extremely happy at first!
But when the children were weaned and started running on the ground, she had a terrible headache again.
Old Madam Shen, her aunt, gave her the power of housekeeper to show her appreciation for her.
She had to take care of all the big and small matters in the family while looking after her three sons. Although she had many maids and servants to serve her, she was still very busy all day!
At this time, Old Master Shen suggested sending his eldest son to be raised in their room.
Although she was reluctant, she thought that her grandfather had taught her since she was a child and that he valued her as a child. They lived in the same house and could meet from time to time, so she agreed.
Unexpectedly, when the child was three years old, Old Master Shen said that he would hand over all the power of the family to her and her husband, and he and the old lady would take the child back to their hometown to visit.
He was away for several years. After returning, he moved to a farm outside the city for some quiet time.
It was not until he was fifteen that Shen Chaodong was sent back, saying that it was time for him to learn to manage the family business.
Having not been with his parents for many years, Shen Chaodong was not too affectionate when he saw his parents, but more about etiquette and rules.
He has a cold personality and doesn't like to laugh!
There is alienation everywhere!
Even though we have lived together for five or six years now, he still only calls me mother!
"Whatever I say to you, it's your grandfather who taught you all these things. Why didn't he take care of his son? Why did he agree to let your father take a concubine?"
Mrs. Shen’s face was full of complaints.
Shen Chaodong frowned, looked into her mother's eyes, and refuted mercilessly, "I don't know what happened back then, but my grandfather never took a concubine. As for my father taking a concubine, it must have been with my mother's consent before he would!"
These words left Mrs. Shen speechless.
It was indeed he who took the initiative to arrange for a concubine, but he was forced to do so!
"Then what are you doing here so early in the morning? Are you here to pay your respects to your wife? Or are you here to seek justice for your wife?"
Her dignity as a mother supported her as she questioned sternly.
"Your grandparents taught you a rule that your wife shouldn't pay her respects to Auntie, can she?"
Shen Chaodong leaned forward, saluted respectfully, and softened his tone, "This matter is all my fault, Wanyun was also forced. Chaodong apologizes to my mother, please punish me!"
Madam Shen laughed bitterly. "You speak so confidently, but you are relying on my reluctance to punish you! When you were a child, I didn't raise or teach you well, so I feel I owe you and want to make it up to you... You always listen to your grandfather and never listen to me, your mother."
Shen Chaodong reminded, “Mother forgot, marrying Wanyun was what mother wanted!”
This child, like his father, can't speak. He is not at all as amiable as the second child, nor as playful as the third child!
It’s really infuriating!
Mrs. Shen didn't want to communicate with him anymore and started to chase him away!
"Alright! Now that you've apologized and said goodbye, you can go!"
Shen Chaodong did not move, "Mother, Wanyun wanted to move some flowers in the garden yesterday, but there was no servant to obey her orders, please..."
It used to be Grandfather…Grandfather…Now it’s Wanyun…Wanyun…
Mrs. Shen interrupted him before he could finish.
"Since you've entered the Shen Mansion as the principal wife, you'll have to be the head of the household sooner or later. If you want the servants to submit, you'll have to be a bit more resourceful! I can't control this matter!"
Mrs. Shen said she couldn't do anything about it, so she let them deal with it as they pleased.
So, what happened later was the punishment of those people in the garden.
After returning to the East Garden, Shen Chaodong gathered everyone in his courtyard and gave them a lecture.
Just two sentences!
Everything in the courtyard shall be subject to the Young Madam's wishes!
In all matters in the mansion, the young lady comes first!
Then, he pulled Liu Wanyun back into the house, leaving them alone.
He said to Liu Wanyun solemnly, "Today, I have established my authority for you, but I cannot always protect you in the mansion. You will have to rely on yourself in the future! These days, you should follow your mother and learn the skills of a housekeeper..."
Before the man could finish his words, Liu Wanyun threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist with both hands.
Her face was pressed against his chest, her eyes sore.
The voice was choked.
"Brother Dong! Thank you!"
We have only been married for three or four days, but this person is protecting me all the time.
If I’m not moved, it would be fake!
Although I just hold the mentality of making the best of things and just getting by!
But when someone treated her so attentively, Liu Wanyun's heart was finally moved.
"Brother Dong, I really like you so much!"
At this moment, these words have some truth to them!
Being suddenly confessed, Shen Chaodong's face instantly turned red.
He asked in a humming voice, "So next time you see a good-looking man, will you stare at him intently and ask about him?"
Liu Wanyun looked up and looked at him blankly.
What?
When did I start looking at men intently?
Are you still asking about others?
