Power spoiled fierce wife

Chapter 89 The old lady is back
The old lady returned to the Duke's Mansion on the ninth day of August.

A mighty group of people, more than a dozen carriages, came back with their belongings.

Those who came back were Chen Guogong's second brother, Chen Shoucheng, and his second wife, Yuanshi, and brought a pair of granddaughters and grandsons with them.

Chen Guogong had already issued an order, and all the people in the mansion came out to greet him, even the grounded Changsun family and Chen Jinrui were no exception.

Of course Jinning will come out to greet her.

Standing beside Chen Guogong, she watched several maids help the old lady get off the carriage.

Wearing a blue satin dress with a pattern of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, the gray hair is tied up in a high bun, and the wishful hairpin is inserted. He is more than 60 years old, but he looks very energetic, with a long neck and a high head. Many, with deep nasolabial folds and sharp eyes, even with a gentle smile on his face, it is still difficult to hide his majesty.

Chen Shoucheng was doing business in the southern country, and he was an official before, but unfortunately he was inactive and couldn't be promoted, so he spent money. Unfortunately, he met an upright and honest superior, who directly wrote it on the official assessment, and Chen Shoucheng was dismissed as a result.

After being dismissed, she entered the business world, and so far there has been no disturbance. Over the years, the old lady has donated Zhen's dowry many times.

Although he is younger than his elder brother Chen Guogong, but in the shopping mall, he can't do without entertainment, eating, drinking, indulgence, sensuality, and emptying his body, so he looks a few years older than Chen Guogong.

The second wife, Yuan Shi, is a daughter of a wealthy family who came from a declining family. Her ancestors were also granted the title of Marquis, but it is a pity that in her father's generation, the hereditary line disappeared.

However, the daughter of the aristocratic family is tactful and sophisticated, knows how to behave, and makes her mother-in-law very happy, and her mother-in-law praises her, so her status in the Chen family is even higher than that of the eldest grandson.

She naturally looked down on Changsun.

She used to look down on Zhen Shi too.

Although Zhen's family background is prominent, in the eyes of a young lady like her, she was born as a martial artist and is unbearably rough, which is incomparable to a real noble like her.

What makes Yuan Shi most proud is that she gave birth to a son and two daughters for the Chen family, and Zhen Shi has only one nemesis daughter.

What people talked about the most was that in the second year of her marriage, she took in a concubine for Chen Shouye, and the concubine gave birth to a son the next year, who was actually the eldest son.

She is in the Chen family and has enough confidence.

When Chen Guogong saw the old lady, he hurriedly went forward and saluted, "Mother has been working hard all the way, hurry up and go in."

The old lady hummed, and looked at him with relief, "I heard that you were rewarded by the emperor when I first entered Beijing. It's really gratifying."

Chen Guogong was really happy to be appreciated by his aunt, and said modestly: "My son is not talented. He has been in the officialdom for many years and has been doing nothing. He is really ashamed for not being proud of his mother."

"You are already much better than your younger brother." The old lady smiled, but her eyes lightly swept across Chen Shoucheng's face, "Haven't you met your elder brother yet?"

Chen Shoucheng stepped forward and happily held Chen Guogong's hand, his voice was a little excited, "Brother, long time no see!"

"Second brother!" Chen Guogong showed a brotherly expression.

Yuan Shi also went up to meet her, and she brought her children forward, "Liang Hui, Liang Qi, Jin Xian and Jin Luo, meet uncle soon!"

Chen Lianghui was born of a concubine. In the early years, because the Zhen family had been barren, Liang Hui was adopted into Chen Guogong's house. Therefore, Chen Lianghui had to call Chen Guogong his father.

After the four people came forward to salute, Chen Guogong looked at the pair of jade-like people with relief, and was very happy in his heart.

Then he turned around and called Jin Ning, "Jin Ning, why don't you go up to see your grandmother soon? See your second uncle and aunt, and then meet your brothers and sisters?"

The old lady's eyes fell on Jin Ning's face.

Her gaze was sharp with research and consideration, and the wrinkles between her brows were obvious. Although there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, it always made people feel difficult to get close to.

Jin Ning walked forward slowly, blessing her body, "Jin Ning pays homage to grandma!"

The old lady hummed, her eyes became gentler, "It's good to be back."

The Changsun family, Chen Jinrui and others had all seen each other before they stepped forward and saluted politely.

The old lady looked at Changsun and said: "This time I am back, thank you for your hard work."

Changsun lowered her head and said: "Old lady, don't say that, this is what a daughter-in-law should do."

The old lady turned her head to look at Chen Jinrui, and seeing that she was covered with a veil, she frowned and asked, "Sister Rui, what are you doing? You're covering your face on a hot day, so you can't see grandma?"

Chen Jinrui's tears were blurred, and he choked up and said: "No, grandma, my granddaughter has an ugly face, so I dare not scare grandma."

"Nonsense!" The old lady was angry, "Haven't I seen your face before? Take off the veil!"

Chen Jinrui slowly removed the veil, revealing a mottled and ferocious face, with tears of grievance in his eyes.

The old lady was shocked, and asked in surprise: "How could this be? What happened?"

Chen Guogong stepped forward and said: "I will report this to my mother later. The weather is hot, and there is sour plum soup in it. Mother, please go in and rest."

The old lady hummed majestically, and the two daughter-in-laws, Changsun and Yuan, helped her in.

Yuan's daughters, Chen Jinxian and Chen Jinluo, Chen Jinxian is two years older than Jinning, and Chen Jinluo is one year younger than Jinning.

Chen Jinxian had already told her about her, but her fiancé had been seriously ill, and the marriage had not been finalized for a long time. Unexpectedly, this spring, her fiancé passed away suddenly, and she became an old girl.

This time when she returned to Beijing, the old lady wanted to say goodbye to her grandchildren.

Although the Southern Kingdom is also a rich place, the old lady has always aspired to be in the officialdom.

She is especially anxious about the marriage of her eldest granddaughter Chen Jinxian.

This girl is good-looking and calm-tempered, but she was delayed because of her previous marriage. Now that she has become an old girl, how can she not be anxious?

Therefore, I just sat down, ate a cup of tea, and told the eldest grandson, "Go and find out, which son has a good temperament and family background, and write it down. Let's take a good look at it later, Miss Xian's marriage. , we have to do it first."

The old lady ordered, how could the Changsun family dare not agree?And now she really needs to make meritorious service to atone for her sins, so she replied: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will call a matchmaker over tomorrow."

"Well, that's good. By the way, where's Brother Zhu?" The old lady looked around and asked displeasedly when she didn't see Chen Liangzhu.

Changsun quickly explained, "Back to the old lady, Zhu'er went out two days ago, because she didn't know the old lady arrived today, so she couldn't come back in time to greet her, old lady forgive me."

"Well, brother Zhu is also seventeen this year, right? We must hurry up on the marriage, have you taken a fancy to any girl?" the old lady asked.

Changsun smiled and said, "I'm interested in it, but the Duke said it's not suitable."

"Not suitable? Which family's daughter? Is the lintel one floor lower? Don't just pick on the lintel, marry a wife and ask for a lady, as long as you have a good temperament."

Changsun said: "This family is not low, but his temperament is a bit savage. He is the Princess Rui'an of the Jingguo Mansion."
