For the next hour, Qin Ruochu crushed Qiao Yitong with her profound classical knowledge. Qiao Yitong's studies, in order to deal with Old Lady Shen, were just the basics of Chinese classical culture, and couldn't be compared to Qin Ruochu's.

In the end, when Qin Ruochu finished her last sentence and looked at Qiao Yitong again, she was no longer as calm as before. Instead, there was an awkward expression on her face.

"Miss Qiao, what do you think of this poem? Is it the same as mine? " Qin Ruochu asked Qiao Yitong with a smile.

Qiao Yitong stiffened. She had never heard of this poem before, much less had any opinions. However, she had always insisted on this young miss' style as well as her education told her that she must not show any signs of weakness and must not let Qin Ruochu see anything.

"Miss Qin, I'm sorry. I've never liked that style of yours, so … If I had the chance, I would be happy to talk to Miss Qin about other styles of poetry. " Qiao Yitong said with a straight face.

Qin Ruochu already knew from the first few sentences that Qiao Yitong was someone who didn't understand much about poetry. Now, she obviously knew about Qiao Yitong's lies as well.

However, Qin Ruochu still nodded her head and did not expose Qiao Yitong on the spot.

Seeing Qin Ruochu like this, Qiao Yitong secretly gritted her teeth. She had miscalculated!

Qiao Yitong had never thought that Qin Ruochu would have such a deep understanding of poetry. Thinking about what she had said at the beginning, it was simply asking to be humiliated! Thinking of this, Qiao Yitong couldn't help but clench her fists. She didn't notice that her long nails had left a mark on her palm.

After two unsuccessful attempts at making things difficult for her, Old Lady Shen had nothing else to say. She just glanced at Qiao Yitong once before asking Qin Ruochu to make tea for her.

Shen Musheng, who was in a meeting in Lin City, came out of his office when he received the news.

By the time he rushed back to the Shen Family residence, an hour had already passed.

"Where is Madame Grandmother?" Shen Musheng asked the person beside him as he strode forward.

That servant was one of Shen Musheng's friends. She ran to catch up with him and said, "Madam has been called over by the old lady since 6 in the morning. She still hasn't come out yet …"

Shen Musheng raised his wrist and looked at the watch on his hand. He was called in at 6 o'clock. It was already 9 o'clock, 3 hours...

Thinking of this, Shen Musheng couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When Shen Musheng entered the inner hall, what he saw was Old Lady Shen leaning on the soft couch. Qiao Yitong was giving her a massage while his wife Qin Ruochu was calmly making tea.

What surprised Shen Musheng the most was that both Old Lady Shen and Qiao Yitong's expression didn't look too good. As for Qin Ruochu, when she saw Shen Musheng coming, she smiled at him. A flash of pride appeared in her eyes.

Shen Musheng raised his eyebrows and immediately understood. It seemed that Old Lady Shen and Qiao Yitong had intended to embarrass Qin Ruochu, but in the end … And now the reverse, his little wife... Two people were beaten.

Realizing this, Shen Musheng's heart, which was originally in suspense, finally returned to its original position. The corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.

"Grandmother, did you call my wife over so early in the morning just to have a cup of tea?" Shen Musheng asked with his hands in his pockets.

"Why? Since you say that she's your wife and someone from Shen Family, then what's wrong with coming over to prepare a pot of tea for my wife? Shouldn't it? " Old Lady Shen was obviously not in a good mood.

However, the more Old Lady Shen was in a bad mood, the more obvious the smile on Shen Musheng's face became.

"Alright, why not? Is it just that I can take it away now? My little wife hasn't had breakfast yet, so I'm going to feel sorry for her. " Shen Musheng looked at Qin Ruochu's pure smile and said.

When Qiao Yitong heard this, she gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. However, because Old Lady Shen was here, she didn't want to flare up, so she could only use her eyes to glare at Shen Musheng and Qin Ruochu to express her anger.

However, it was useless. Shen Musheng and Qin Ruochu didn't even look at her. Qiao Yitong acted just like a mute.

Qin Ruochu's face turned red when she heard that. She glared at Shen Musheng coquettishly before she peeked at Old Lady Shen's face.

Old Lady Shen's face was filled with impatience. Hearing Shen Musheng's words, she got even angrier and waved her hand, "Take him away. It will save me the trouble of looking at him."

Qin Ruochu had been sitting at the tea table and didn't dare to move. After hearing Old Lady Shen's words, she quickly packed up the tea set and stood up, jogging to Shen Musheng's side. Before she arrived, her hand was grabbed by Shen Musheng's big hand.

The smile on Qin Ruochu's face, which could not be hidden, was like a knife stabbing into her chest when Qiao Yitong saw it.

"Since Grandmother is upset, then I will have to trouble you not to meet with my wife alone in the future, so as to prevent Grandmother from getting frustrated when she sees me …" After saying that, Shen Musheng put his arm around Qin Ruochu's shoulder and walked out of Old Lady Shen's yard.

"I didn't expect this girl to have some skills …" Old Lady Shen slammed her teacup on the table, making a loud noise. Qiao Yitong stopped the hand that was massaging her back and returned to normal.

"Grandmother, other than having a bad family background and a bad reputation, Qin Ruochu is actually quite good …" Qiao Yitong said calmly.

"What did you say …" And her reputation isn't good either? "What do you mean?" Old Lady Shen paused for a moment before looking at Qiao Yitong.

Qiao Yitong quickly covered her mouth as if she had said something wrong, "No …" "It's nothing, Grandmother, Musheng didn't let me tell you."

After hearing Qiao Yitong's words, it seemed like there was something else as well. Old Lady Shen's curiosity was piqued. She took Qiao Yitong's hand and patted it. "It's fine, Yitong. If you have something to say, you can tell Grandmother. Being a wife of Shen Family, reputation is the top priority.

Immediately, Qiao Yitong seemed to be troubled. After thinking for a moment, she spoke up firmly: "This matter concerns Shen Family's reputation, I can't care too much about it. If Musheng were to pursue this matter … "Grandmother, you have to protect me."

Old Lady Shen patted her hand again, "What are you saying? If the reputation issue you mentioned is true, not to mention Musheng wanting to pursue the matter, I told him to get out of Shen Family as well!" Old Lady Shen said angrily.

Qiao Yitong immediately reached out her hand to pat Old Lady Shen's back to appease her, "Grandmother, don't be angry at me. Musheng is the flesh and blood of Shen Family, he can't be changed no matter what. However, that Qin Ruochu, it would be good if her reputation in Shen Family was affected. "
