Chapter 062 Chapter 62

The slanting sun shone on the screen wall. It was autumn, and willow catkins were flying. In the light and shadow, the catkins seemed to be wrapped in spots of light, like stars in the daytime. Shen Linfeng stopped and watched for a while, then walked towards Mrs. Shen with his hands behind his back.

Mrs. Shen was taking medicine at this time. Her illness was not a serious one, but she was old and if she didn't take medicine, she would always feel uncomfortable somewhere, so she often asked the waiter to prepare medicine for her.

Han Ruohua currently lives in the Shen family. She is a diligent and well-behaved person. She visits her parents every morning and evening. She also accompanies Shen's wife with Shen Mo when she has nothing to do. Shen Mo once lived in her grandparents' home when she was a child, and she has always had a good relationship with Han Ruohua.

She heard Shen Linfeng coming to pay his respects outside. Mrs. Shen thought he was taking a day off today, so she paid his respects in the morning. Why did he come at this time? But she was still very happy to see her son, so she said, "Let him in."

Mrs. Shen saw her son come in. He was still the same person, but for some reason there was a hint of determination between his brows.

"Son pays his respects to mother." Shen Linfeng said respectfully.

Mrs. Shen nodded: "Where have you been?"

Shen Linfeng smiled and said, "I went to the bookstore to look for books and happened to run into Brother Boying. He was getting married soon, and I didn't know what kind of gift to give him. I just happened to chat with him for a while."

It turned out that she had met Yan Jingzhao. Madam Shen's expression eased a little: "This eldest brother of the Yan family is also a rare young genius. I think he is not inferior to you. You two are still uncle and aunt now, so it would be good for you to interact with each other."

Shen Linfeng thought that his mother was generous in praising Yan Jingzhao, but was so harsh on his sister, the Divine Concubine. It was obvious that his sister, the Divine Concubine, was fighting for an imperial decree for her mother at such a young age. No wonder the Divine Concubine told him not to speak well of her in front of Madam Shen. Even he could see such a big difference.

"Mother is right." He didn't know why, but his mother was becoming more and more unfair to his sister, the Divine Concubine, and he could no longer tolerate it.

Just when Mrs. Shen realized that Shen Linfeng wanted to say something, Shen Linfeng greeted her and left.

Of course, Madam Shen also asked Madam Zhou to send Li'er to the study to serve her the next day. She was not joking. Shen Linfeng kept silent yesterday because he knew that if he met the Yan family and told Madam Shen about it when he came back, Madam Shen would probably think that the Yan family said something.

Now, his mother sent someone here without consulting him. If he was still a naughty child, his mother would just do things without consulting him. But now that he is an official in the court, his mother sent someone here without knowing the truth, which was completely ignoring him.

He went straight to Mrs. Shen's place. Mrs. Shen never expected that her son would actually come to see her.

"Mother, why did you send someone here?"

"The girl in your study, Anxiang, is getting old and ready to get married, so I sent her back to get married and sent someone else over. So what?" Mrs. Shen pretended not to know.

Shen Linfeng said, "Mother, this Anxiang was originally serving in the study, but my study is never open to outsiders, and even she was just making tea outside. Why did you send another person over?"

Mrs. Shen was unhappy: "Lin Feng, you..."

Shen Linfeng followed Yao Niang's instructions and said, "Mother, my marriage with the eldest daughter of the Yan family was not smooth before. It was all because of the second branch inviting Wei Wuji. Although Wei Wuji was exiled by the Yan family, I am afraid that there will be more trouble. Mother, please be kind to me. If this marriage fails, I will not know how to deal with it."

"Oh, it's just sending a maid over. What does it have to do with Wei Wuji?" Mrs. Shen didn't care.

Shen Linfeng thought that his sister, the Divine Concubine, had really predicted it. The adults only cared about their own authority and didn't care at all about what the children really cared about.

So, he said, "Mom, since you think it's okay, I will not be responsible if anything goes wrong in the marriage in the future."

"What?" Mrs. Shen's eyelids twitched.

Shen Linfeng sighed, "Mom, you and my dad already feel ashamed after being talked about like that, and even feel insensitive to the Yan family. But what about your son? I don't know how much criticism he has endured until now. Now that he is getting married, he doesn't want the wedding to be too grand, he just wants it to be done normally. But if you insist on doing this at this time, then you must promise your son that if there are any problems with this marriage in the future, you will be responsible."

"No, isn't this a small matter?" Mrs. Shen didn't understand what influence a concubine could have.

Sure enough, once they were put in charge of everything, these people began to hesitate.

Shen Linfeng said: "If it is for others, it is normal, but for your son, he cannot afford to fail. Do you really want to see your son become a joke?"

"Okay, okay, I won't send anyone away." Mrs. Shen then realized that her son was not worried about the girl from the Yan family. Instead, he was more afraid of a failed marriage. If there were really problems with her son's marriage, wouldn't she become a sinner for all eternity?

Shen Linfeng didn't expect Mrs. Shen to be so easy to talk to. He couldn't control his smile when he left.

Oh, this move of the Goddess Sister is really amazing. She said that no matter what happens, those arrogant people should be held responsible for their actions. My mother's words are very convincing, but if she is asked to take full responsibility for the marriage, she will immediately give up.

He thought that this trick could also be used in his work. For example, those who were always talking loudly and encouraging others in doing something would stop when they were really asked to do it.

Although it was not good for his mother, if he could not make decisions about his own room, how could he make decisions about other things in the future? Moreover, he thought of his sister, the Goddess Consort. His mind was filled with his sister, the Goddess Consort, and it was difficult for him to think of anyone else.

After Madam Shen took Li'er back, Shen Mo certainly heard some rumors, but it was not easy for her to interfere in what happened in her brother's room.

But it was really a miracle that my brother could get my mother to send the person away. Since ancient times, no one dared to refuse gifts from the elders, and my brother has always been extremely filial and never dared to disobey his parents.

Yao Niang didn't know many things about the Shen family, but she knew that Shen Linfeng cared about her so much, which made her better than most couples who had hardly talked to each other before marriage.

In fact, sometimes if a man loves you, even if you are humble, he will still regard you as a treasure. If he doesn’t love you, even if you are a fairy, you will still be insignificant.

There is no need to say how hard you work, just let men see it.

Fortunately, Shen Linfeng was willing to marry her, and he and her had been together before marriage.

However, having said that, she herself cannot be too bad. She must remain calm and composed no matter what she handles, and must not lose her composure no matter who she meets.

Yan Jingzhao and Li's marriage was to be held this month. Yao Niang would help Xie after finishing her needlework every day. Xie was not only preparing for Yan Jingzhao's marriage, but also Yao Niang's wedding. She was so busy that she lost several pounds, which made Yan Yingqi feel distressed.

During dinner, he said to Xie: "You are too anxious. All the officials from the four departments and six bureaus have been invited, and the colorful tent has been set up. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xie smiled and said, "Raising a child is a 100-year-old job, and you worry about it 99 percent of the time. In fact, you worry as much as I do. To be honest, Jingzhao's previous boyfriend passed away, and Yaoniang is getting married at such a young age. I'm really afraid."

"Life is always so exciting, just calm down." Yan Yingqi comforted.

Yao Niang glanced at her mother and said, "Yes, mother, you don't have to worry about your daughter even if you worry about others. Although being someone's daughter-in-law is hard and humiliating, your daughter is very confident."

Xie has always been a thoughtful person. With me by her side, she can help with ideas no matter how big or small the matter is. She can also keep her mother company. If I get married, she always feels that her mother will be lonely.

Xie couldn't help but secretly wiped away her tears: "You, child, are trying to comfort me."

"Mother, I see my sister-in-law is going to marry me soon. I heard she's an honest person, so don't be afraid."

Yan Yingqi had never thought anything of it before, but when he saw his wife's panic, he felt a little distressed. After all, he and Yan Jingzhao were men, and in recent years, it was not so much that Xie was taking care of his daughter, but rather that his daughter was accompanying him.

A few days later, Li came in. She and Yan Jingzhao came together in the morning to pay their respects. She looked shy and even blushed when she looked at Yan Jingzhao for a second longer. Yao Niang felt that she really loved her brother.

Xie was naturally not the kind of bad mother-in-law who would interfere in the affairs between her son and his wife. She had never given her son a maid. Seeing that Li seemed to love her son very much, she was even more happy for Yan Jingzhao and the gift she gave was quite valuable.

She also said to Li: "I heard from Yao Niang that you like to cook. A small kitchen has been built in the east courtyard. Meals are usually sent from the big kitchen, but if you want to make some snacks or soup, you can just make them in the small kitchen."

Li was delighted, "Thank you, ma'am."

"What are you thanking me for? I still need your care for my good-for-nothing son." Xie looked at them with a smile.

Yan Jingzhao also smiled, and Li lowered her head quickly, not daring to look at her husband. Yesterday, when the veil was lifted, her husband treated her very tenderly. She had heard that doing that kind of thing should be extremely painful, but she didn't expect it to be completely different yesterday. It's not an exaggeration to say that she was in ecstasy.

Seeing her sister-in-law was shy, Yao Niang came out to help: "Sister-in-law, try this snack, it's new."

Li smiled gratefully, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, she felt it was sweeter than honey.

"Brother, this snack is quite sweet. I'll give this cup of tea to your sister-in-law." Yao Niang asked the servant to bring it to Yan Jingzhao.

Yan Jingzhao did not refuse. As they had just gotten married, he had to give his wife face. He smiled and picked up the teacup and handed it to Li. When Li took the teacup, she accidentally touched Yan Jingzhao's hand and blushed again.

Seeing them like this, Yao Niang and Jie looked at each other and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed.

As Yan Jingzhao's relatives, they were so friendly to Li because they hoped that Yan Jingzhao's marriage could be harmonious and happy for the rest of his life. Let's hope!
