Qin Ruochu didn't know whether to put the piece of meat in or out of her mouth after hearing those words. She froze for a moment.

At this moment, Shen Shuzhou, who sat opposite her, exclaimed, "What's wrong with that? If I had such a beautiful wife, I would be happy to serve her …"

Hearing Shen Shuzhou's words, the corner of Qin Ruochu's eyes twitched. She couldn't help but glance at him, meeting the smiling eyes that Shen Shuzhou was looking at her with.

Next to her, Shen Muqiao nudged Qin Ruochu with her elbow. Qin Ruochu snapped out of her daze and heard Shen Muqiao say, "Don't listen to whatever you have. You should eat and drink …" "What's there to be afraid of? My brother is here."

Of course, Shen Muqiao lowered her voice and said these words. Although Shen Muqiao's words gave Qin Ruochu some comfort, she still secretly glanced at Old Lady Shen's pale face before taking a bite of the prawn meat in her hand.

"Old granny, you really have good eyes. Look at us, Yitong, we are both generous and beautiful. More importantly, we are also intelligent girls who are highly praised. That's all you have to say. Not everyone can compare to us." Wang Xiuyun, who had just been scolded by Old Lady Shen, was now dishonest again.

Qin Ruochu was eating the food Shen Musheng gave her on the plate. When she heard this, her body froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She didn't look up nor spoke as if she didn't hear anything.

Shen Musheng, on the other hand, only opened his eyes when he heard that. He impatiently glanced at Wang Xiuyun at the other end of the table.

Wang Xiuyun naturally accepted Shen Musheng's cold gaze, and the hand holding the chopsticks froze. "Miss Yitong's excellence is the truth. Everyone has seen it, isn't it …"

It was a question, but no one answered her. Seeing that Shen Musheng had withdrawn his gaze and was looking at another large table full of people, Wang Xiuyun became a little bolder.

"Only a cultured child like Yitong is qualified to enter our Shen Family gate. Old lady, do you think I'm right?" Wang Xiuyun asked in a fawning manner.

Old Lady Shen raised her eyelids and glanced at her, but she did not say anything. It was not only tacit agreement or something, it was Qiao Yitong who spoke up.

"Don't praise me like that. You're actually not that outstanding either. If you say it like that, it will easily cause others to misunderstand. This isn't good." After saying that, Qiao Yitong glanced at Qin Ruochu with an ulterior motive, then left with a smile to help Old Lady Shen carry the dishes.

"What I said was the truth. Our Shen Family is a well-known family in the Cloud City, so naturally, this mistress is a beauty. If any other kind of cat or dog could be the mistress, then that would be a joke …" Wang Xiuyun said even more brazenly.

Because of Wang Xiuyun's words, Qin Ruochu could neither laugh nor eat in embarrassment. She just stood there stiffly on the dining table, not knowing how to respond.

Unconsciously, Qin Ruochu raised her head and met Qiao Yitong's gaze. Qiao Yitong raised her brows. Undisguised provocation could be seen in her eyes.

The look in her eyes seemed to say, "Did you hear that, Qin Ruochu? You're the one I'm talking about!"

Qin Ruochu was the first to shift her gaze away. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a sour feeling in her nose. Qin Ruochu gripped the chopsticks tightly and lowered her head.

"Qin Ruochu, it's really useless. You couldn't take her words? Didn't you say that you can take on any difficulties when you're standing with Shen Musheng? How did you give up now? " Qin Ruochu cursed herself in her heart.

When she raised her head again, Qin Ruochu had already calmed down and looked relaxed. However, the moment she raised her head, she bumped into Shen Musheng's eyes.

"What's wrong …" Qin Ruochu was stunned for a moment before she whispered with a smile. She knew that Shen Musheng was worried about her and worried that she wouldn't be able to handle these gossip.

Qin Ruochu smiled. "I'm fine …" And I want to eat prawns. " Shen Musheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. He was very satisfied with Qin Ruochu's performance.

With a pampering look, Shen Musheng peeled another prawn for Qin Ruochu. Shen Musheng was very skilled at peeling shrimp and was also very elegant. He placed the prawn on a plate, then used his other hand to pry off the head and other parts of the prawn. He then used his fork to cut through the gap in the prawn skin, and with a flip, the prawn meat was completely detached from the prawn skin.

This time, Shen Musheng didn't put the prawn onto Qin Ruochu's plate. Instead, he used his fork to fork towards Qin Ruochu's mouth.

Qin Ruochu was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red. Normally, Shen Musheng's actions would be normal. She would definitely eat it without hesitation, but now … With so many people watching, and Qin Ruochu's thin-skinned face, of course she wouldn't give in.

She reached for the fork in Shen Musheng's hand while lowering her voice. She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "There are so many people watching, I can do it myself …"

Unexpectedly, Shen Musheng stopped and did not let Qin Ruochu take the fork. "Open your mouth …" The domineering commanding tone made Qin Ruochu's face turn even more red. Looking at Shen Musheng's' if you don't want to eat, then I'll keep holding it up 'attitude, Qin Ruochu could only open her mouth and eat the prawn meat on Shen Musheng's fork in front of everyone's eyes.

Only then did Shen Musheng withdraw his hand. However, before Qin Ruochu could swallow the prawn meat, someone opened her mouth to speak.

"Is it something a man should do to take care of a woman while she eats?" From the beginning, she didn't like the interaction between Shen Musheng and Qin Ruochu, but now, Shen Musheng was actually doing it so brazenly for them to see.

Qin Ruochu didn't even dare to move her mouth. She glanced at Shen Musheng beside her. He was quite relaxed. He was currently elegantly sipping a mouthful of red wine. Then, he slightly frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the taste of the red wine.

Qin Ruochu couldn't bear Old Lady Shen saying that to Shen Musheng. Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by Shen Muqiao.

"Grandmother, those are all feudal ideas. They're both men and women now, so why can't a man take care of a woman and serve her? "In love, where is the inferiority of men and women …" Shen Muqiao mumbled as she ate.

Old Lady Shen snorted coldly when she heard Shen Muqiao's words. "A man of good character must do great things. What's the point of serving a woman?"

Shen Muqiao hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, "Grandmother, what you just said is too one-sided. Look, my husband is both capable and handsome, and he even dotes on me. This is not contradictory at all."

Shen Muqiao said as she opened her mouth and ate the beef. She was all smiles. Lu Tingyou had always only had Shen Muqiao in his eyes. She would do whatever she said, and now she was cooperating perfectly.
