"Thank you, Grandmother." Qin Ruochu was overjoyed. So it turned out that Old Lady Shen wasn't a person who wanted to make things difficult for others.
However, before the smile in Qin Ruochu's eyes could fade, it was smashed into smithereens by Old Lady Shen's next words.
"Only, on the first day of the next two days, it will be the big day of our Shen Family's ancestral worship. At that time, it won't be convenient for Miss Qin to stay in the Shen Family to receive you. I hope that Miss Qin can understand." Old Lady Shen's tone was still polite, treating Qin Ruochu like a guest.
"…" Qin Ruochu was momentarily at a loss for words. She did not know how to reply. This clearly meant that she was rejecting people a thousand miles away. Moreover, the order to send them away was already obvious.
Qin Ruochu felt a burning sensation on her face, and she could no longer maintain her smile.
"Grandmother, I feel that it is indeed inconvenient to have outsiders around on such a big day like offering sacrifices to the Ancestor. However, the person who should be leaving is not Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law will naturally join us in offering sacrifices to the Ancestor." Shen Muqiao, who had been keeping everyone in sight, spoke up.
This situation was something she had expected.
"Sister-in-law, what sister-in-law?" "Muqiao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say that randomly." Old Lady Shen's tone was filled with authority, causing Qin Ruochu to swallow her saliva uncontrollably.
Shen Muqiao frowned. Just as she was about to speak again, she was stopped by Lu Tingyou. Shen Muqiao glanced at Old Lady Shen unhappily, then turned her head away and no longer spoke.
"Grandmother is getting on in age. Like I said, Qin Ruochu is my wife. The day that I become a member of Shen Family will also be the day that she becomes a member of Shen Family! " Only then did Shen Musheng, who had been silent, open his mouth as his eyes turned colder.
"You still know that you are from the Shen Family? Then how dare you make a point of getting married without permission? Do you think that all sorts of people can enter our Shen Family s door?! " Old Lady Shen was infuriated by Shen Musheng's words and slammed the table, scaring everyone.
The crowd did not look good. However, there was one person who was watching the show. It was Qiao Yitong. The corner of her mouth curled up, as if she felt that the scene was not lively enough.
"Now that the fact that Qin Ruochu is my wife has become a fact, Grandmother will agree as long as she agrees. If she doesn't agree, I won't force her either." Shen Musheng said coldly.
When he turned around to look at Qin Ruochu, his expression was slightly relieved. "I chose this woman, so she's the most suitable for me. If Grandmother has any other people who would like to force it on me, there's no need. Unless Grandmother wants a second father to appear on her Shen Family … "
"..." You! "Good, good. Now that you all have grown up, you all have ideas. Your wings have hardened and are threatening me!" Old Lady Shen was furious. Qiao Yitong, who had an ugly expression on her face, quickly patted her back to ease her anger.
Seeing this, Shen Muqiao snickered. "Cough, cough …" I'm tired, it's really uncomfortable bringing such a big ball. Sister-in-law, why don't you accompany me to rest? "
Qin Ruochu had turned stiff from the exchange between Shen Musheng and Old Lady Shen. Shen Muqiao's words were like a lifesaver to her.
Qin Ruochu nodded with a slightly pale face and then looked at Old Lady Shen. Old Lady Shen didn't even look at her and was fuming. "Go, go, go! None of you are good enough for words!"
When Old Lady Shen had spoken, Shen Muqiao quickly pulled Qin Ruochu out the door, and she glanced at Shen Musheng.
"Go ahead and rest well. I'll come pick you up later." Shen Musheng comforted her softly. Only with Shen Musheng's words could Qin Ruochu leave in peace.
"Grandmother, Ruochu will be leaving first. I'll come see you tomorrow." Qin Ruochu said respectfully, but Old Lady Shen didn't even lift her head as if she hadn't heard him.
Qin Ruochu felt like she was asking for trouble, so she was dragged out by Shen Muqiao. After walking out of the courtyard, Qin Ruochu let out a sigh of relief. She felt her legs tremble a little. If Shen Muqiao wasn't here, she would have already collapsed on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, are you scared?" Shen Muqiao said worriedly. "Yes." Qin Ruochu nodded. It would be a lie if she said it wasn't. Grandmother, she doesn't seem to like me. " Qin Ruochu felt wronged yet puzzled at the same time.
"Aiya, that's normal, as long as it isn't someone she arranged to be with my brother, she wouldn't like it. Don't mind her, just be a good sister-in-law to me." Shen Muqiao said casually.
Although Shen Muqiao said this with ease, how could Qin Ruochu calm down after knowing Old Lady Shen's attitude?
Seeing that Qin Ruochu still had a worried look on her face, Shen Muqiao patted her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, Qiao Yitong is actually someone Grandmother has her eyes on. She is going to be my sister-in-law."
Qin Ruochu was not surprised. She had already noticed that Old Lady Shen and Qiao Yitong's relationship was very good. This could also explain why Qiao Yitong treated her with such ill intentions.
Qin Ruochu instantly became like a deflated balloon. "Miss Qiao is indeed very beautiful, and Grandmother likes her very much. I feel like I'm under a lot of pressure."
Shen Muqiao raised her eyebrows. "Sister-in-law, where's your imposing manner?" Besides, I think my sister-in-law is much prettier than Qiao Yitong. Furthermore, my brother's heart is with you, what are you worried about? "
"That's what you mean …"
"Alright, alright, my dear sister-in-law. Don't talk about Qiao Yitong anymore, it gives me a headache to see her now." After saying that, Shen Muqiao actually yawned loudly.
"You still have the mood to sleep after such a horrifying scene?" Qin Ruochu was a bit speechless.
"I've seen this too many times. This is nothing. In the future …" Well, you'll see. "Besides, sister-in-law, I'm not sleepy at all. After I get pregnant, it's easy for me to get sleepy and I always want to sleep." Shen Muqiao yawned again.
Qin Ruochu's attention was immediately diverted away. Hearing Shen Muqiao's words, it was as if she had discovered a new world, "Why is it like this? Are you for real? " Qin Ruochu immediately turned into a curious baby.
Shen Muqiao glanced at Qin Ruochu, "..." You want to know? " The mysterious look on her face made Qin Ruochu even more curious.
Qin Ruochu nodded like a chick pecking rice, looking expectantly at Shen Muqiao. As a girl, who didn't have the desire to be a mother? Naturally, they were curious and curious about these things.
Shen Muqiao looked at her foolish sister-in-law with a smile. "If you want to know, then go live with my brother." Shen Muqiao burst into wild laughter, leaving Qin Ruochu speechless and blushing all by herself.
Having caused trouble, Shen Muqiao's face slowly turned serious again. She felt that she had to take preventive measures against her foolish sister-in-law, otherwise, Qin Ruochu would definitely be besieged at night. It wouldn't be good to make a joke.
"Sister-in-law, you saw it just now. Grandmother doesn't like my brother, so she wants him to be her puppet." Shen Family is just like this, cheating each other, it's all a scheme. " As Shen Muqiao spoke, she felt a bit tired.
Qin Ruochu frowned. "What do you mean?"
