Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 845: Why are you making that expression——2?Shen Li was drinking a tonic to nourish his pregnancy when he heard the sound of a child running towards his house, he turned to look at the young mer who was standing at the threshold of his house and smiled politely, " Little Xiao what are you doing here? Are you here to call Mai to play with you? He just went to take a nap."          

    

But Wei Xiao shook his head as he answered in a soft voice which had a childish tone to it, " My mother is calling you outside, she says that an old granny who calls herself your mother is standing outside and wants to see you, Brother Li."      
When Shen Li heard Wei Xiao mention an old granny, he asked about the appearance of the old woman to which Wei Xiao replied, " She is mean looking woman, with a mole under her eyes and she looks a bit too smug when she heard that I was going to call you and she also has a young woman accompanying her." He paused and then asked Shen Li, " Brother Li, is that person really your mother? She looks like an evil hag."      

But after calling Shen Li's mother an evil hag, Wei Xiao was a bit scared thinking that Shen Li was going to be angry with him but contrary to his expected, the latter smiled at him with a doting look in his eyes and said, " Its fine if you said this in front of me but don't say this in front of her…she can really be annoying when it comes to her appearance."      

Old Madam Shen was indeed a bit ugly looking, the only good feature that she had was her eyes which Shen Li inherited but given that the old woman always had a mean look in them, she did not look pretty but she still hated anyone calling her ugly which was why Shen Li taught Wei Xiao not to speak such words in front of Old Madam Shen.     

" I understand, Brother Li," Wei Xiao nodded, seeing that the young mer was so polite Shen Li took out a small strawberry jelly which was stored in a wooden cup and handed it to him before turning to look at Ye Liu who was already looking at him after dumping all his tasks aside.     

" Are you going to see her?" He asked when he saw that Shen Li was now walking over to the rack to wear his outer robes. " Dong Dong, will not be happy."      

" I know," when faced with his mother, even Shen Li was helpless. He knew that the guards must have tried to stop her but that old woman was so stubborn that she did not listen causing them to finally call him to the village entrance, in fact, he wished he could ignore his mother altogether but he was well aware of the fact that if he did not see them today then they will continue to put up a strike in front of the village even if it meant to stay in front of the village entrance all night long.     

If that happens, then they will be the ones who will be humiliated instead of the Shen family, his mother only cared about money and nothing else, from the start things like reputation and shame had little to do with her. If she could earn money then she would not mind even stripping off her clothes much less striking in front of the village entrance.     

There was nothing that his mother feared but as her son, he will have to fear her.     

Even Ye Liu knew that Shen Li had no other choice in front of him, it annoyed him greatly but since there was no other choice, they could only do what Old Madam Shen wanted them to do, thus, he too picked up his robe and then walked out of the house with Shen Li before arriving in front of the village entrance where Old Madam Shen and Shen Hanxing were waiting for them.     

When Old Madam Shen saw her son, she was a bit annoyed it was because she saw that her son was wearing an old and worn-out robe while the mer concubine next to him was wearing a robe which was clean and looked new.      

Her eyes twitched as she cursed her son for being useless but she did not dare to show the annoyance on her face as she looked at Shen Li and then asked with a smile, "Ah Li, you are here? Tell these guards that I am your mother, they are not willing to let me inside the village."     

Shen Li looked at his mother who was smiling at him while acting as if she was really close to him and felt his lips twitch, this woman…even though she was so old, her love for acting was still there! She did not seem like she had changed much, if he did not know her well, he would have been fooled by her!      

But he was also her son, there was no way his mother would be able to compete with him when it came to using their acting skills which was why Shen Li shrunk his  shoulders and then looked at his mother who was standing in front of him with a fearful look on his face, "Mother ..what are you doing here?"      

If Shen Li had shown this expression when they were alone Old Madam Shen would have been satisfied but he was looking at her like that in front of the guards who were already suspicious of her identity and reasons to see Shen Li!     

Old Madam Shen was really angry and almost snapped at Shen Li for being a fool, he could have smiled at her instead of looking at her like she scared him, how hard it was to smile at her? Was this necessary? Was she going to eat him or what?      

Shen Li's performance angered her but she was stopped by Shen Hanxing from bursting out in anger before she could say anything to Shen Li.
