Chapter 153 Returning to Shen Mansion

After hearing their words last night, Shen Qiqi couldn't calm down. She tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep, and got up early.

Sure enough, as they said, the greeting card was delivered to the Marquis Mansion early in the morning. Now the old lady didn't want to see the Shen family or listen to more. She waved her hand and asked someone to deliver the greeting card to her.

After being anxious for a long time, Shen Qiqiu paced in the courtyard, her legs and feet sore and tired that she could not calm down.

"Girl, Young Master Shen, the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master are here."

It was still a long time before noon, but I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

Shen Qiqi fiddled with her hair in a hurry, "Mom, please help me see if I'm dressed appropriately?"

The newly made clothes are made of top quality materials and are made according to the latest styles. Grandma's craftsmanship is excellent and the clothes are extremely close to the body.

"It's extremely decent, don't worry, girl. Now in the entire city of Kyoto, there aren't many girls who can wear such good materials."

The materials that had just been supplied from other countries were only a dozen or so pieces, and it was only because the Marquis was favored that he got so many pieces.

Among the other noble ladies, except for Princess Suyang, no one is heard to have received a reward.

"Go and welcome them in. I don't know what kind of tea they like to drink. Yinbao, go and make a pot of all the tea in the house."

Even though her grandma was comforting her, Shen Qiqi was still nervous. If she hadn't been supported by her grandma, she would have collapsed to the ground right now.

Yinbao responded and went, while Shen Qiqi was supported by her grandma and stood at the courtyard gate to greet her relatives whom she had not seen for ten years.

When several tall figures appeared in the far corner, Shen Qiqi's eyes couldn't help but heat up.

"Qiqi please invite some brothers..."

"Qiqi, don't be too polite. We brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for many years, so there's no need to be pretentious."

Before the ceremony was completed, Shen Qiqi was helped up as a figure flashed in front of her eyes.

Facing a pair of smiling eyes as bright as the stars, Shen Qiqi's nose became sour and she almost shed tears.

She originally thought she looked away, and thought she could suppress the grievances in her heart, but when she really encountered it, she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were.

Facing her closest blood relative in the world, she couldn't control herself at all and just wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

"Girl, let's invite a few young men to come in and sit down."

Seeing that she was about to cry, grandma gently tapped her hand and prepared to take her inside.

"Mommy, don't be anxious. The reason for the sudden visit is because my father has gone to Beijing and is anxious to see my sister, so we thought of taking Qiqi back."

"Qiqi, are you willing to go back with us?"

Shen Jinshi had a smile on his face and red eyes, and seemed to be excited about this meeting.

"Father has missed you for many years. If he hadn't been exhausted from traveling all night, he would have come by himself now."

Hearing this, grandma turned her head and glanced at Shen Jin, then quickly turned back.

He is truly worthy of being a scholar, and his words are really beautiful. After saying so, how could the girl still have the nerve to refuse?

The elder has come all the way here, and now he refuses to rest because he wants to see his niece whom he has not seen for many years.

Let alone girls, no one can refuse this matter.

Sure enough, the girl just thought for a moment and nodded.

"Since we are going to meet the elders, why don't I bother my brothers to go in and have a cup of tea? Qi Qi needs to tidy up a little."

She couldn't be so casual when meeting her elders. Shen Qiqi went into the house to touch up her makeup and add some jewelry before going out with her gold and silver treasures.

After leaving the gate of the Marquis Mansion and about to get into the carriage, she heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away. She raised her head and looked into the distance, only to see Gu Tingshu returning home covered in dust. "cousin!"

Before Gu Tingshu could get off his horse after he approached, Shen Qiqi greeted him with a smile.

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Zhenbei. Xiaosheng asked the Marquis of Zhenbei for his safety."

In terms of etiquette, the Shen family has always done a good job. Gu Tingshu was not in the mood to pay attention to them at the moment and only waved to them.

"where to?"

"Marquis of Zhenbei, Qiqi is a girl from the Shen family. We are going to take her home."

Gu Tingshu asked Shen Qiqi, but before she could answer, Shen Jinji took over.

In this matter, only Shen Qiqi agreed, and Gu Tingshu had no reason to stop it.

He looked at Shen Qiqi and frowned in a rare way, "You want to go back?"

"Qiqi, it's time for us to leave."

For the Gu family, even Gu Tingshu, who had helped Shen Qiqi, Shen Jinshi still didn't have a good impression, so he didn't want to say more to him.

Seeing that they were all waiting, Shen Qiqi could only smile apologetically at Gu Tingshu, "Cousin, please go back and rest soon."

She turned around to leave, but Gu Tingshu glanced at the three brothers not far from them, and called her again.

"lush."

Shen Qiqi stopped and looked back at him, her eyes a little blank, as if this was the first time he called her name.

After pursed her lips and thinking for a moment, she turned back, approached Gu Tingshu and raised her face to smile at him.

"The elders are waiting. Qi Qi doesn't want to be delayed. My cousin should go back and rest first. He will come back after inviting An Qi Qi to uncle."

She still couldn't understand the emotions in Gu Tingshu's eyes, but she knew how to comfort him.

Sure enough, after saying this, everyone present could feel that Gu Tingshu's aura had changed. There was still no expression on his face, but he didn't seem so cold anymore.

Following them to Shen's House, before they could stand still after getting off the car, a middle-aged man came down the stairs to greet them.

"This is Qiqi. She is a big girl now. You and your father look very much alike."

Gu Yanqiu felt sad when he thought of his second brother, who was so brilliant but died young.

If the second brother was still alive, why would his daughter be like this?

"You have suffered too much in Kyoto all these years. Now that we are here, no one can bully you anymore."

There was a cry in his words, and the emotion in his eyes could not be faked. Shen Qiqi's eyes were hot, but there was doubt in her heart.

Judging from their attitude towards themselves, they have feelings for themselves, but why, they can just ignore them for ten years after being sent to Kyoto.

"Father, let Qiqi go in and sit down first. It's not good to stand at the door."

Although Shen's residence is not located in a busy city, there is no safe and quiet place in Kyoto. Nowadays, there are people coming and going in front of the door, and they are very eye-catching.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I forgot to lead you in when I was excited. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

"This will be your home from now on. You can move back after packing up your things in a few days, and we will take care of you."

"I have sent people to pick up those maids and women who used to serve you before you came to Beijing. When you move back, they will still serve you."

The novelist Shen Yanqiu glanced at the gold and silver treasures, and then said: "If you are used to being served by people around you, then it is up to you."
