Chapter 242 Protecting Weaknesses
  Shen Zhuoxi couldn't sleep at all now.
  She got up from the bed and said while putting on her clothes: "His Royal Highness, Prince Yu, why didn't you tell me in advance? This is coming right now, and I am not prepared at all."
  "I didn't inform you of my appointment." Dragonfly quickly brought a set of clothes over and said, "The days are different today. You should wear this suit to look energetic."
  Dragonfly chose a brand new pale pink gown with gold silk embroidery. The color was elegant but not gaudy, making her skin as white as snow.
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded and said: "Just keep your hair casual and don't be too formal. I'm guessing everyone has been waiting. It wouldn't be shameful to go too late."
  Dragonfly followed her instructions and simply put her hair into a bun, fixed it with a pink crystal hairpin, and selected a few light-colored beaded flowers.
  She is dressed like a little daughter without losing her temperament. She looks gentle and jade-like, making her look even better than usual.
  When the master and servant rushed to the front hall, everyone else had arrived.
  They went up to Old Taijun and Shen Heshan, and down to Shen Zishan and Shen Heshan's family, including Aunt Yang, who had not been seen for a long time, were all waiting. Fortunately, Jing Muling hasn't arrived yet.
  Along the way, Shen Zhuoxi naturally became the focus of everyone's eyes.
  "Why so slow?" Shen Heshan glanced at her with displeasure on his face: "His Royal Highness King Yu is already at the door!"
  "I didn't eat yesterday. It's normal for me to be tired and unable to get up today. Master, don't blame the second lady." Yu Qinglian kindly came to the rescue and said.
  Shen Heshan snorted coldly and said: "She didn't eat, and the angry old lady was not feeling well. Who's to blame? Since she's here, just shout from the side."
  "Wait a while for King Yu to come. If you don't understand anything, just ask the eldest lady!"
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't speak to him and walked straight to Aunt Yang.
  Yu Qinglian showed her kindness, but instead of answering, she went to Aunt Yang's side. Isn't this a slap in the face?
  Her face changed slightly, but due to the crowd, she still didn't have an attack and gave Shen Zhuoxi a fierce look.
  "Second Miss, you are so beautiful today." Aunt Yang saw her leaning over and praised her in a low voice: "It is indeed a woman's eighteenth transformation. When you first recovered, you looked like a skinny monkey."
  "In just a few dozen days, it has become as fresh and fresh as a freshly ripe peach."
  "Aunt Yang is joking." Shen Zhuoxi looked at her and said with a smile, "Have you recovered well?"
  "You have the secret recipe given by the second lady, are you still worried?" Aunt Yang said, getting a little closer to Shen Zhuoxi, and whispered: "Besides, I don't have any problems in the first place, I just want to avoid trouble in the house."
  "It will be fine in the future." As Shen Zhuoxi spoke, he glanced in the direction of Yu Qinglian: "Aunt Yang is doing well, and she will definitely be blessed in the future."
  Yu Qinglian's gaze has not yet been withdrawn. One of them is vicious, and the other is with contemptuous disdain.
  Their eyes collided, and Yu Qinglian quickly adjusted her expression and said: "Second Miss, Aunt Yang's status is low and despicable. She is not worthy of standing with you. You'd better stand over."
  After saying that, he said to Aunt Yang: "You too, the second young lady doesn't understand the rules. Don't you also know that you can't figure out your identity, are you worthy of standing next to the second young lady?"
  "Everyone is the same." Shen Zhuoxi smiled lightly and said, "And the eldest lady shouldn't look down on others so much. She has been pampered for a long time. Don't forget that you also entered the house as a concubine."
  "If my mother hadn't died, you and Aunt Yang would be equals now and become sisters to each other."
  Even Yu Qinglian couldn't stand her humiliation in front of everyone.
  Yu Qinglian was ashamed, angry and embarrassed, her face was so red that it almost bled, but she was more angry and resentful.
  Shen Zhuoxi, this little bitch, dared to do this to her face in front of so many people.
  Being in front of others, she couldn't refute, so she could only endure the bad breath and looked at Shen Heshan with tears in her eyes: "Grand Master, you see, that's why I didn't want to be the eldest lady's housekeeper at the beginning."
  "I have worked hard over the years to take care of the entire Taishi Mansion. I never expected that I would be so humiliated by the Second Young Lady after so many years. It is not because of me that Princess Xiaoqing died. Otherwise, you should divorce me!"
  "Nonsense!" Shen Heshan was not much better, especially in front of so many people, King Yu was about to arrive.
  The veins on his forehead popped out, and when he looked at Shen Zhuoxi, he was full of disgust: "What are you picking on such a great day?"
  "Am I the one who provoked the trouble?" Shen Zhuoxi met Shen Heshan's stern eyes without flinching and said, "Didn't the grand master hear that the eldest lady took the initiative to provoke?"
  "What's wrong with Aunt Yang? Why should everyone be insulted like this by the eldest lady? Did my mother look down on her at all when the eldest lady was still a concubine?"
  "She is so narrow-minded and short-sighted. What qualifications do she have to be the mistress of the Grand Master's Mansion?"
  Several questions were asked in succession, which made Shen Heshan's face feel hot.
  Although Princess Xiaoqing was pampered by the Queen Mother and grew up, and was the only daughter of the Zhongyi Marquis, she was well-educated and sensible, and her every move was like a lady's.
  Even though Shen Heshan brought Yu Qinglian in, although she wasn't happy, she treated Yu Qinglian very well, without being harsh at all, and Han Xiangru behind him.
  As the matron of the family, Princess Xiaoqing was perfect and didn't even care if she was wronged.
  She became ill when she was in her prime, perhaps because she had suppressed it for a long time.
  Thinking of this, Shen Heshan frowned even more tightly, coughed twice and said, "It's the eldest lady who is wrong, but as a junior, you shouldn't be like this either."
  Without giving Shen Zhuoxi a chance to refute, he looked at Yu Qinglian again, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "You too, tell me what Aunt Yang is doing. She has been sick for many days and finally came out."
  Yu Qinglian moved her lips and explained in a low voice: "I'm not worried that when His Highness King Yu comes in and sees the second young lady standing with my concubine, he will think that we are treating the young lady harshly."
  "You know that the second lady doesn't appreciate it, so I won't be so talkative."
  "Shut up!" After Shen Heshan was disturbed, he looked at Shen Zhuoxi and said, "Before you got married, you were a young lady from the Taishi Mansion. Even if the eldest lady is wrong, you shouldn't scold her."
  "No one cares about her. Isn't it right for me to speak up?" Shen Zhuoxi snorted coldly: "We can't all pretend to be deaf and dumb!"
  "You, you are really lawless, don't think that with King Yu's backing, you are great!" Shen Heshan was contradicted, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and he yelled angrily.
  "Not to mention that you haven't become Princess Yu yet, even if you do, you still want to call me father. If you continue to be so ignorant, I will ask the family to help!"
  Just as Shen Zhuoxi was about to speak, Jing Muling's deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Early in the morning, what does the Grand Master want to ask the family to do?"
  When Shen Heshan saw Jing Muling being helped in, he gave Shen Zhuoxi a warning look, and quickly said with a smile, "It's just a little family matter. I, the humble minister Shen Heshan, will bring his whole family to pay his respects to His Highness King Yu."
  "I'm afraid I can't afford it." Jing Muling said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I am blind, but my ears are not deaf yet. I heard you scolding my princess from a long distance away."
  "Are you going to teach me and the king a lesson now?"
