Madam is a dandy, Mr. Shen loves her so much

Because the Shen family's yard is old and covers a relatively large area, it requires regular maintenance and repairs every year.

A special team has been set up to take care of this.

Even at night, the Shen family would have a special patrol team, firstly to prevent fires and natural disasters, and secondly, because the house is too big, to prevent someone from sneaking in and planning evil.

Therefore, over the years, there has never been a fire or water accident in Shen House.

This time the fire broke out in the side room inside the Jade Pavilion in the southeast corner. Fortunately, the servants came here diligently today.

An alarm was issued almost as soon as the fire broke out.

By the time the old lady came with her people, the fire in the wing had been put out.

But something was still burned more or less.

Cen Xuan and Shen Jiyuan followed closely behind, and she didn't have time to take a closer look at the structure inside at noon.

I can see clearly now.

There are three rooms in this courtyard, which are arranged in a concave shape. They are different from the courtyard where the old man or Shen Jiyuan live now.

For the convenience of today's life, the yard where they still live has been renovated according to the current style.

The sliding glass doors and the pool in the yard have been renovated.

The courtyard has retained its original appearance, and even the hollow carvings on the door have remained unchanged.

The oldest tree planted in the yard is over 500 years old.

The door of the room entering from the main entrance is wide open and decorated in an antique style.

A black and white photo of the deceased was placed on the cabinet facing the two of them. On the blue and white porcelain plates on the tribute table, all the exquisite snacks seemed familiar.

Cen Xuan remembered that when she had dinner with the old lady before, the old lady said she had made snacks and asked her to take them back.

These snacks are the ones the old lady made for Shen Jiyuan, and they are not bad either.

There is also a plate of gold cakes on the side. Different from the ones in Shanxi Pavilion, this gold cake should be made by the old lady herself.

Cen Xuan squeezed the hand of the man next to her.

It seems that these pastries are what Shen Jiyuan's father likes to eat.

No wonder he obviously doesn't like sweets, but the old lady makes them for him every time.

In his heart, he probably regarded Shen Jiyuan as his father.

In addition, their birthdays are actually the same day.

Uncle Zhong ordered the people to extinguish the fire in an orderly manner and replace the burned items in the wing.

Seeing the old lady coming, he took a step back to explain the situation.

"The fire was not big. It only burned a blanket in the wing. Fortunately, the shelves were fireproof and could not burn."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no major damage in the entire yard.

"I just said there won't be any big problem." Tang Rong followed the old lady and said.

Old Mrs. Shen stood still indoors. She was still panting because she was running a little anxiously.

Cen Xuan and Shen Jiyuan both stood behind her.

The old lady wore a dark red cheongsam and round and plump pearl necklaces. She looked very noble and energetic.

But Cen Xuan saw something was wrong from her eyes.

His usually sharp eyes began to fade at this moment.

The old lady glanced at the black and white photo of the deceased on the table, then looked back at Shen Jiyuan who was standing in the corridor.

"Achuan."

Cen Xuan was stunned by her old man's words.

"Grandma is calling you?"

The next second, the old lady walked out of the house, took Shen Jiyuan's hand and walked directly out of the courtyard.

"It's your birthday and we haven't cut the cake yet."

Cen Xuan stood there, looked back at the photos in the room, and then looked at the backs of the old lady and Shen Jiyuan.

"It's over, I'm confused again." Tang Rong sighed.

Several people who came after them also saw this scene in their eyes.

They are all from the Shen family, so of course they have heard more or less about these things.

Shen Jiyuan's father passed away when he was nine years old, and he was only thirty-five years old when he died.

Shen Jiyuan died young and lost his parents, wandering outside for nearly ten years.

When he returned to Shen's house, he informed the old lady of his father's death.

Among Mrs. Shen's three sons, the youngest one she loves the most is her. Even if she is angry and refuses to contact her son, she still hopes that the child will be well.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhengchuan died in a foreign land ten years after leaving the Shen family.

After the old lady learned about the funeral, she stayed in Yutingzhu for three days. She almost had an accident without eating or drinking.

It was the old man who led someone to drag her out. From then on, the old lady gradually became confused.

She would subconsciously attribute some of Shen Zhengchuan's preferences to Shen Jiyuan, such as the food she likes to eat, the brand of clothes she likes, and even the school she graduated from, etc.

It just so happens that Shen Jiyuan and Shen Zhengchuan's birthdays happen to be on the same day.

Everyone in the Shen family could see that the old lady's preference for Shen Jiyuan was actually to make up for Shen Zhengchuan.

She also subconsciously regarded Shen Jiyuan as Shen Zhengchuan, so the pastries she made were what Shen Zhengchuan liked to eat.

"If I had known that he would be in such trouble when he came back, it would be better not to let him in." Shen Muyao leaned against the door and chuckled.

Shen Muze glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Miao and Shen Yuan on the side silently stepped back.

From this point of view, Shen Jiyuan was very favored, and to put it bluntly, he was just a stand-in.

"Some people still need to open their eyes to see clearly. They think they have a beautiful dream, but in fact it is all in vain."

Shen Muyao was quite proud when he said this.

It was Shen Jiyuan who spoke, but he looked at Cen Xuan and said it.

The old lady held Shen Jiyuan's hand and walked away, and Cen Xuan retracted her foot that had already crossed the threshold.

She turned to look at Shen Muyao, her expression calm under the night.

Thinking of what happened last time, Shen Muyao felt a little wary.

"I used to think that grandma was a little biased, but now, I think her bias is right."

Shen Muyao raised his voice, "What do you mean!"

What this girl is saying is crazy.

"Shen Jiyuan didn't grow up in the Shen family, and his relationship with his grandparents was the weakest. But when grandma was unconscious, he didn't mean to deny the excitement at all, and he could calm grandma's emotions. But you children raised by grandma, But he tried his best to peel off this curtain and stimulate her."

Tang Rong was listening and wanted to explain.

"You just talk nonsense about what you know. Don't think I dare not touch you."

In front of so many people, Shen Muyao felt uncomfortable.

Children of the Shen family will be laughed at by the entire family if they are labeled as unfilial.

"Am I wrong? Compared to you, Shen Jiyuan knows how to appease grandma's emotions, but you, in order to drag Shen Jiyuan into trouble, you even don't hesitate to attack your own grandma."

Before Shen Muyao could refute, Tang Rong came over from behind.

"Cen Xuan, what you said doesn't sound right. We didn't light this fire. It's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. We can't talk nonsense without evidence."

Of course Cen Xuan understood what they meant.

There is no conclusive evidence for this matter, and the fire was not big, but it also played its role.

It's just killing people and stabbing the heart. The knife doesn't go to the body, but to the heart.

"I don't want to know what the truth is, and I don't need to know it. In any case, your attitude is enough to explain your thoughts."

After saying this, Cen Xuan crossed the threshold and walked forward.

Shen Muyao was unhappy, "Stop and speak clearly!"

Tang Rong pulled her son back and said, "Don't you think it's embarrassing?"

Tang Rong said as she greeted Shen Miao, Shen Yuan and others who were following them to go to the main hall to rest first.

Don't look at what you shouldn't see here, and don't listen to what you shouldn't hear here. They all know this rule.

After saying goodbye to Tang Rong, the children all went to the front hall.

"Hurry up and take out all the burned things inside. Make up the carpet and everything exactly the same, but don't touch the things on the shelves."

Tang Rong ordered the cleaning servants.

No one else is allowed in this place except the cleaning servants.

All the furnishings and things inside belong to Shen Zhengchuan, and the old lady won't let anyone touch them.

She was confused at the moment, and she would definitely come over to take a look when she regained consciousness.

"You have nothing to argue with that wild girl. The most important thing now is to find out the cause of the fire and appease your grandma."

Tang Rong looked at Shen Muchao dissatisfied.

We all grew up together, so why does he act mischievously all day long?

"I just asked. People have been coming in and out here one after another since the morning. Until the evening, only Zhiyue came." Shen Muze said.

After saying this, Tang Rong could guess it herself.

This fire probably has something to do with Shen Zhiyue.

"This girl has never been lawless. Grandpa won't punish her anyway. What are we doing with our free time?"

Shen Muyao snorted.

Shen Zhiyue felt confident.

"Watch here, I'll go to Zhiyue Yuan to have a look."

Tang Rong said and stood up to leave.

Shen Muze looked around and his eyes fell on the plate containing pastries.

"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Listening to his elder brother's question, Shen Muyao denied it.

"No, I'm Shen Zhiyue, so boring."

If it was really him who did this and stimulated grandma to such an extent, grandpa would have to break his legs.

"Aren't you going on a business trip to Beicheng tomorrow to see your second uncle?" Shen Muze suddenly looked at him and ordered.

Shen Muyao raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay, it just so happens that I really miss my second uncle."

After leaving Jade Pavilion, Cen Xuan returned along the way he came.

As soon as he walked a certain distance, he was stopped by Uncle Zhong.

"Third Young Mistress."

Cen Xuan turned around and called politely.

"Uncle Zhong."

The old man had a kind face, and there were two servants behind him.

"The third young master said that you will definitely get lost, so he asked me to come and pick you up quickly. Come over and see that you are really lost."

Cen Xuan looked around at the lights around with some embarrassment.

"Sorry, it's hard for me to find my way after dark."

She didn't get lost during the day, but once night came, her sense of direction began to get lost.

Uncle Zhong expressed his understanding and pointed to the opposite road.

"Just follow me."

Uncle Zhong walked in front of her, one behind the other.

Cen Xuan didn't know what to say, so she just asked.

"How is grandma doing?"

"The old lady's mood has stabilized. Now that the third young master is with her, she will recover soon."

Uncle Zhong said and looked at Cen Xuan.

Uncle Zhong heard what she and Shen Muyao said just now in Yutingzhu.

Most of the people in this family have evil intentions, and the succession of a large family is a bit confusing and cumbersome.

Before the third young master came back, everything was peaceful and safe.

After he came back, many things changed very subtly.

But fortunately, the third young master is able to hold on.

"When the third young master first came back, his brothers and sisters were not very close to him, and because of his parents' affairs, he was forced to listen to gossip every time the family got together."

Cen Xuan listened to Uncle Zhong's words. She hadn't heard much about Shen Jiyuan's parents.

There are even rumors outside that Shen Jiyuan's father left home when he was young and lost contact with the Shen family.

"In this family, a system has been formed for a long time. The third young master joined in the middle, and those who break the rules are always disliked. Although he looks cold, he can take into account the old lady's emotions every time. This shows that he is a good kid.”

Uncle Zhong looked at Cen Xuan as he spoke, "You and the third young master have a very good relationship."

Otherwise, she would not have protected Shen Jiyuan so much in Yutingzhu.

Cen Xuan smiled and lowered his head, saying nothing.

Uncle Zhong sent the person to the door of the old lady's courtyard.

"We're here, the third young master is inside, please go in."

Cen Xuan smiled and thanked Uncle Zhong, then turned and entered the yard.

Uncle Zhong, who was standing at the door, looked at her back and sighed.

These two children have a long road ahead.

At least now, Miss Cen has not had a heart-to-heart relationship with the Third Young Master, and her defense of the Third Young Master is just out of instinct.

The lights in the old lady's yard were brightly lit. After leaving the Jade Pavilion, her sanity had recovered somewhat.

When Cen Xuan saw her now, she was no different from the afternoon.

"Axuan, come here quickly." The old lady extended her hand to wave her over.

Shen Jiyuan was sitting at the table now, with a bowl of longevity noodles in front of him.

"grandmother."

Cen Xuan sat down next to Shen Jiyuan.

"Quick, let's have a bowl of longevity noodles with Ji Yuan."

The old lady's expression was no different from usual, and she didn't look as confused as before.

Shen Jiyuan was holding chopsticks and eating noodles one bite at a time. Cen Xuan looked at him, then at the smiling old lady beside her, obediently lowering her head to eat the noodles.

Seeing the appearance of the two children, the smile in the old lady's eyes deepened.

Mother Liu on the side breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

As long as the old lady returns to normal.

On the other side, in the courtyard not far from the moon landing building.

This place is where Shen Zhiyue lives. The place where she grew up, even if she doesn't come back often in the past two years, someone will clean it on time.

When Tang Rong came over, Shen Zhiyue was lying on the bed reading.

The pink silk satin bedding looks luxurious under the warm lighting.

Hearing someone come in, Shen Zhiyue turned a page in the book.

"Auntie, are you here to punish me?"

Tang Rong smiled and stood in front of her.

"Auntie, I have to say something to you. You kid, you went a little too far this time. You haven't seen what your grandma is like."

I guess the old man will be in trouble tomorrow.

"It's not good for grandma to always be so confused. She always regards Shen Jiyuan as a substitute for her brother-in-law. She will never be able to face the fact that her brother-in-law has passed away. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain."

Shen Zhiyue said, closing the book and looking up at Tang Rong.

"Auntie, do you think I did something wrong?"
