Lihoumen

Chapter 51 I was tired last night

The newlyweds left Lan Yaju when the moon was already high above the willows. They walked side by side towards the Madam's Shulan Garden. Shen Han still walked steadily, but Qingqing was anxious.

"Hurry up, it's already this late, I'm afraid we'll be late."

Shen Han took the food box from her and held it in his hand: "It's just an ordinary family dinner, it's okay to have it later."

Because of the intimacy just now, the blush on the little wife's face has not completely faded, and her coquettish look makes people feel a little distracted.

Shen Han glanced at his young wife, and immediately changed his words: "It's better to be faster, so that we can go earlier and come back earlier." After that, he raised his hand and pulled Qingqing up, and his steps quickened.

As autumn began and the weather got cooler, the lady ordered a family banquet to be held at Yuhua Terrace in the garden.

By the time Shen Han and Qingqing were led by the female officials into Yuhua Terrace, the couples from other families had already arrived.

"Third brother, you are always the most punctual, but you are late today. I will make you drink as punishment later." When Li saw Shen Han, she joked.

There are more than a hundred glazed lanterns hung around Yuhua Terrace. When night falls, the lights come on. Even though the lights are bright and gorgeous, they are no match for this beautiful couple.

The man was elegant and handsome, and the girl was graceful with a face like a lotus. The young couple standing together looked like people in a painting, and it was impossible to take your eyes off them.

"Qing girl is the new bride, from the old family, don't tease her." When the old lady saw her great-grandson and his wife, a smile gradually appeared on her face, and she said to Li with a smile.

Today Shen Han is really different from usual.

Although he still had the aloof and unattainable deity deity deity deity, the smile in his eyes that was as sweet as honey could not be concealed.

The other families were all experienced people, so they could see that the Third Master Shen, who had always been aloof from worldly affairs, was also tempted by worldly desires and fell into the mortal world.

"Grandma, you are wronging me. I was just teasing my third brother, not talking about my younger brother's wife. It's obvious that grandma only has the new grandson's wife in her heart. You are openly biased now."

"You girl, your mouth is getting more and more powerful. Now, even I am making fun of you." The lady blamed her with her mouth, but the smile on her face did not diminish.

Ever since Qingqing came in, Li glanced at the expression of the old lady and saw that she liked this girl in her heart. Since the old lady liked her, she, who always knew how to behave, naturally had to follow suit and respect the third lady.

Li had been sitting beside the old lady. Seeing this, she covered her mouth with her round fan and smiled, then raised her hand to pour wine for the old lady: "Grandmother, please don't blame me. My third brother's wife is outstanding in appearance and well-behaved and gentle. It is natural for her to like her. As your granddaughter-in-law, I will not be jealous."

As she spoke, Li looked down at Qingqing and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, grandma was just talking about you."

Qingqing bowed again to greet the old lady and presented the milk cake she had made: "This is a snack I made for you, grandma. My cooking skills are clumsy, so I hope you won't despise it."

The lady narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at Qingqing, who was sitting below her. Then she smiled and said to Aunt Qiu beside her: "Look at me. I told you that if this little girl Qing dresses up, no one can compare to her."

Aunt Qiu echoed, "The princess's granddaughters-in-law must all be outstanding beauties." As she spoke, Aunt Qiu handed the snacks that Qingqing brought to the Madam and said with a smile, "Your Highness, look at how exquisite the snacks made by the Third Madam are. From my opinion, they are better than those in the palace."

The lady nodded after reading it, then picked up a piece and put it in her mouth: "Mm, very good! Very good!"

After the lady praised her repeatedly, she looked at Qingqing again, waved at her and said, "Qing girl, come to your grandmother."

Qingqing walked up the stairs slowly and knelt down on the other side of the lady. The lady patted her hands and said, "Good girl, I didn't expect you to have such a good skill."

"If grandma likes it, I will often serve you as your granddaughter-in-law." Qingqing said meekly. The lady looked down at Shen Han and said, "Grandma will like your filial piety, but I am worried that you will be exhausted. If so, someone will be distressed."

Shen Hanjun blushed: "Grandmother is just like my sister-in-law, always teasing me."

One sentence made everyone laugh.

When Liu Ruyue saw that the lady liked Qingqing, she was thinking about Lin Ruoqing and felt very uncomfortable, so she drank a sip of wine in depression.

Wang Zhenzhen was next to Liu Ruyue. Seeing that she was unhappy, Wang Zhenzhen leaned over and lowered her voice and said, "Second sister-in-law, seeing Third sister-in-law being favored, don't you feel bad?"

Liu Ruyue rolled her eyes at her and said, "She is of lower status than all of us, but she is the latecomer who has surpassed us. Do you feel good about this?"

Wang Zhenzhen naturally felt bad too.

"You've always been great, so if you're unhappy, why do you hold it in?"

Liu Ruyue rolled her eyes at her again: "Aren't you the most favored by your mother-in-law? You usually act arrogantly in this mansion. Why doesn't it work now?"

"Who said I'm not smart?" Wang Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Liu Ruyue, "I'm not as cowardly as you. After all, Third Sister-in-law was the last one to marry in. Why should she be more favored by our grandmother than us? Humph! I don't accept it."

"You are only as good as me." Liu Ruyue pointed at Qingqing at the top of the table and said, "If you are really capable, you can give He a lesson right now."

Wang Zhenzhen is a straightforward person, and Liu Ruyue's words immediately made her angry.

"Am I afraid of her?"

As she spoke, she turned to Qingqing, who was sitting next to the lady, and said sarcastically, "Third sister-in-law is really capable. It's only been a short time since you got married into the mansion, but you can actually make grandma revolve around you. It makes us look stupid."

Wang Zhen was talking excitedly when Shen Han, who was sitting not far away, threw the wine cup in his hand onto the table with a "clack". Although the sound was not loud, it was loud enough to be heard by everyone at the table.

Wang Zhenzhen immediately swallowed back the unpleasant words that she had not yet said.

Glancing at Shen Han's frosty face again, she subconsciously remembered the day he scolded her. She was so scared that her face turned pale, and she lowered her head in shame, not daring to act recklessly again.

"What did my cousin want to say just now?"

Shen Han called her cousin instead of sister-in-law, which clearly meant that he didn't want to turn around and start scolding her.

Wang Zhenzhen quickly replied, "Nothing, nothing." Then she immediately put on a smile and said to Qingqing, "Just like what the eldest sister-in-law said, the third sister-in-law is beautiful and has a good temper. It's natural for grandma to like her."

Wang Zhenzhen tried hard to change the situation, but Shen Han did not give up. He glanced at Wang Zhenzhen and said in a cold voice: "If you had half the good temper, you wouldn't be hated by everyone."

Wang Zhenzhen was almost in tears after hearing these harsh words. She nudged Shen Ning who was sitting beside her with her arm. Seeing that Shen Ning was pretending to be deaf and dumb, she lowered her voice and scolded him with tears in her voice, "You are a dead man. People bully me like this, and you don't know how to protect me."

Shen Ning turned his head and rolled his eyes at his wife fiercely, and simply gave her three words: "You deserve it!"
