Qin Ruochu was a little surprised, it turned out that Shen Musheng had considered this point, as this was to lay a foundation for her position in the Shen Family.

Qin Ruochu didn't know if it was her misconception, but she had a nagging feeling that the closer Shen Musheng got to the Shen Family House, the more silent he became. In the end, when he arrived at the entrance, even that little expression on his face was replaced with indifference.

"This... Is it your home? " Qin Ruochu was speechless as she looked at the old building. Although Shen Musheng had already introduced the hundred years of history of the Shen Family Residence, Qin Ruochu was still shocked when she saw with her own eyes such a grand, elegant and rich history of the Residence.

"Mm, let's go in. She's already waiting for us." Shen Musheng looked in front of him, but there was no warmth in his tone.

Qin Ruochu nodded. She knew who Shen Musheng was referring to without asking. Perhaps it was due to the unfamiliar environment, or perhaps it was because the house was too solemn and gave Qin Ruochu too much pressure, she unconsciously took Shen Musheng's arm.

After following Shen Musheng through the door that led to a high threshold, Qin Ruochu finally realized that she had really come to the Shen Family Residence.

The old house was ancient, similar to the old houses in ancient costume TV dramas. Occasionally, they would pass by and the servant would dress up in modern attire with his head lowered, making Qin Ruochu feel as if she was putting on a show.

"The house has a total of four courtyards. There are two courtyards. One of them belongs to me, while the other belongs to Grandmother. Let's go to her now." Shen Musheng said.

Qin Ruochu retracted her curious gaze and nodded.

A pair of beautiful women with slender figures walked together, becoming a beautiful scenery in the old mansion. After passing through the main hall and the long corridor, they finally entered a courtyard that was located in the deepest area of the old residence.

Qin Ruochu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and her hand holding Shen Musheng was a little stiff. Shen Musheng turned his head and saw that his wife was nervous enough to write it all down on her face.

Shen Musheng then smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's just a meeting, moreover... "Leave everything to me." Looking at Shen Musheng's eyes that were as deep as water, Qin Ruochu actually calmed down.

As they spoke, the two of them had already buried themselves in the courtyard. Qin Ruochu smelled sandalwood the moment she entered the door. She glanced at the incense burner in the middle of the room that was rising white smoke.

He thought, an old man who likes to use sandalwood must be an old man with a pure heart and few desires, an old man of virtue and prestige.

He followed Shen Musheng all the way to the inner hall. The bead curtain of the inner hall was lifted. Shen Musheng lowered his head slightly and just as he entered, he heard someone speaking.

At the same time, Qin Ruochu also saw a silver-haired old man sitting on the collapsed seat. At the same time, Qin Ruochu also saw a silver haired old man sitting on the collapsed seat.

Qin Ruochu was a little surprised. She never thought that Qiao Yitong would actually appear at the Shen Family Residence, and from the looks of it, she seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Old Lady Shen.

Seated on the other side of the bed was Shen Muqiao. At this moment, she was obviously unhappy and didn't know what they were talking about.

Shen Muqiao gave Qin Ruochu a look of greeting. Qin Ruochu replied with a bright smile.

"Grandmother …" Shen Musheng said calmly. Not a single ripple could be seen from his voice and expression.

Only then did Old Lady Shen notice that someone had entered. "You're finally back?" Old Lady Shen's voice was low and gloomy, without the joy that a senior would have when he saw his grandson.

Qiao Yitong had seen it ever since the two of them had entered the room, especially Qin Ruochu. At this moment, she was looking at Qin Ruochu with a smile, as if the sharp and aggressive person at the mahjong table that day was someone else.

"Musheng, Grandmother and I were talking about you just now, but you're here right now. You really came just like that." The sudden gentleness in her eyes and tone made Qin Ruochu raise her eyebrows.

Shen Musheng didn't look at Qiao Yitong. Naturally, he didn't care about her words. Shen Musheng held Qin Ruochu's hand.

"This is my wife, Qin Ruochu." Shen Musheng introduced Qin Ruochu with the simplest words.

Qin Ruochu was startled and immediately smiled. "Grandmother, hello, I was …"

"Yitong, the weather is good today. How about you accompany me to walk around the garden later? Musheng also came. The two of you haven't seen each other for a long time, there must be a lot of things you want to say. " Old Lady Shen completely ignored Qin Ruochu, treating her as air. Before Qin Ruochu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Old Lady Shen.

Qin Ruochu didn't know whether to say it or not, so she just stood there awkwardly with a stiff smile on her face.

Qiao Yitong gave Old Lady Shen a bright smile. "Yes, Grandmother can say whatever she wants, but …" I wonder if Musheng is willing to go.

Old Lady Shen sneered and turned her head. From the beginning till the end, she didn't even look Qin Ruochu in the eye. When she saw the jade ring on Qin Ruochu's finger, she paused for a moment before raising her head to look at Qin Ruochu.

Qin Ruochu was at a loss as to what to do, but she suddenly met Old Lady Shen's gaze. Qin Ruochu was surprised and immediately revealed a friendly smile. However, Qin Ruochu knew that her smile was definitely uglier than crying.

Old Lady Shen looked away as if she didn't see it, "Hmph, this grandson of mine has grown in ability. He doesn't have this Grandmother in his eyes anymore, I'm afraid he won't be able to get her."

It was obvious that he was trying to get Shen Musheng to answer, but Shen Musheng was looking straight ahead, and he didn't seem to have any intention of answering. Even Qin Ruochu was wondering if he was listening.

No one said anything. The inner hall was quiet for a moment. Qin Ruochu felt that this few seconds of silence was like torture. Her back stiffened.

When Old Lady Shen saw Shen Musheng's unmoved expression, she glanced at him but didn't know what to say. In the next second, her gaze shifted to Qin Ruochu.

When Qin Ruochu felt Old Lady Shen's gaze, she couldn't help but straighten up a little. Old Lady Shen sized up Qin Ruochu with a picky gaze.

"Miss, you are Musheng's guest, which is also the guest of Shen Family. If there is a place that you are inexperienced with, please do not blame us." The more polite she acted like this, the more embarrassed Qin Ruochu felt.

"..." There's no need for that. Grandmother is too polite. " Qin Ruochu replied almost instinctively. The smile on her face had turned stiff.

Even though Old Lady Shen was old, her silver hair made her look even more majestic. Coupled with the coldness in her eyes and the deliberate estrangement in her tone, if Qin Ruochu didn't feel that malicious intent, then her twenty years of life would have been in vain.

"Miss Qin should be staying in the Shen Family for the next few days. This huge old house with Shen Family is truly a little empty, it's too deserted. " Old Lady Shen drank her tea as she spoke, not even sparing a glance at Qin Ruochu.
