Although they were all called old grannies, Mrs. Zhou was only in her forties this year. Because she was well-maintained and wore bright clothes, she looked like she was in her thirties. It didn't match her seniority very well. Seeing them enter, he asked: "Is it my grandson's daughter?"

A maidservant had already set up the cushions in the hall. Faang Xinsu immediately knelt down and greeted the granddaughter, Faang Xinsu. "Greetings to Grandmother."

No matter how he thought, he still had to do it with face. Furthermore, Mrs. Zhou had just eaten Mrs. Han's steak, so she didn't dare to be nosy at the moment. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears that had yet to leave her eyes, quickly instructing the maidservant, "Quickly, pearl, hurry and help Cousin up."

Faang Xinsu stood up and bowed to Mrs. Han, "Greetings to First Aunt."

Without waiting for her to kneel down, Mrs. Han extended her hand to support her. "Good child, we are close friends, there's no need to be so courteous." Then, he pointed at Shen Cang and said, "You've met all of them. This is your uncle's aunt Bai's elder cousin. He's the same mother as Sister Lian. He has to serve the old lady, so he didn't go out to welcome you."

This sounded like an explanation for Shen Cang, but how could Faang Xinsu, who was smart, not understand the meaning behind her aunt's words? The other two cousins had been waiting outside the door since early in the morning. The other cousins had also come to welcome them at the second door. Why was this cousin alone to serve the old lady? Such a big person, shouldn't he normally live in the outer court? Moreover, in this room, other than the old lady, the stepmother of their mother, there was only the two of them, dressed in red and green, who had no scruples at all. Did he think that they didn't have much to rely on, that they were orphans and weak girls?

Although Faang Xinsu had a lot of thoughts running through her mind, she didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face. She greeted Shen Cang as usual. Shen Cang had seen quite a few beauties since he was young. However, when he saw Faang Xinsu, he couldn't help but be stunned. It was just that the salivating look on his face made others despise him. The quick-witted nanny stepped forward to separate the two.

The First Wife couldn't stand to see her son like this, so she called Faang Xinsu to her and asked her how he was doing. After speaking for a while, he raised his voice to ask the servant, "Go and see where Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master brought the Young Master to. Why haven't you come over yet?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the young maid reporting from outside the door, "Coming, coming. They have entered the courtyard."

Soon after, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Two teenagers about ten years old led their young master, Faang Xinjian, over.

Faang Xinjian wore a suit of bamboo green silk with a round jade pendant on his waist and a headscarf inlaid with a jade ornament of the same color. Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he had the bearing of a gentleman.

After Faang Xinjian paid his respects to Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Han, the two sisters had to meet each other for a while.

When they were done, the old lady, Mrs. Zhou, had someone present her with a greeting gift. Mrs. Han saw that the greeting gift wasn't worth much and was actually a bit worse than Qingliu's. She secretly mocked it for a bit, but she didn't want to reduce her gifts any further. She instructed the maidservants to directly bring the two boxes to the siblings.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou knew clearly in her heart that Mrs. Han's greeting gift was more valuable than the one she had prepared. As long as he didn't reveal it on the surface, it was fine. He was not his own grandson after all, so of course he would leave some good stuff for his own grandson and granddaughter. How could he let an outsider take advantage of him?

Shen Lian was a bit jealous when she saw the two boxes filled with good items. Mother was so generous to an outsider, but she had never been nice to her. Putting others aside, Shen Ying's outfit was much better than Mother's. Wasn't she just trying to curry favor with Mother?

The others thought that she was intentionally making Mother an enemy, but they didn't know that Shen Lian didn't think this way. However, since she had become sensible, her birth mother had been at loggerheads with Mother, and her birth mother had always said bad things about Mother. When she was young, she was influenced by her birth mother, so how could she know how to please Mother? By the time she grew older and became aware of the affairs of the world, it was already too late. She had already offended Mother of all elements. It was useless to blame her birth mother for raising her crooked body. She could only follow her own path to the very end.

She wasn't stupid, how could she not see that the old lady didn't truly love her and her brother? However, she was only born as a concubine. Even if her mother gave birth to her eldest son, she would not be liked by her father. Furthermore, she did not have a capable family or a generous dowry, so they had no choice but to tightly hug the old lady's thighs. Although the old lady was no longer a housekeeper, she had a rich private property. It was enough for her to enjoy showing any bit of it between her fingers for a long time. His birth mother only had her son in her heart, so she didn't have much love for him. His monthly allowance had already been given to her to supplement her brother's, but these two years were slightly better. She looked at them coldly for the past few years. Neither of them was reliable. If she didn't give him a way out, who knew what kind of trap she would be tricked by these two people!

At this moment, a servant girl came over and interrupted Shen Lian's thoughts.

When the maid reported that dinner was ready, Mrs. Zhou said, "The two of them have been running around for a long time and have been busy for most of the day. Far away guests have just arrived, and their brothers are still young, so let's just hang out together. "

After all, Mrs. Zhou had been in the Marquis Mansion for so many years, and she still knew how to speak a few words when she wasn't in heat.

Afterwards, the group of people majestically moved to the small parlour for their meal. In the middle of the room, there was a large round table with a table full of dishes. Although Mrs. Zhou had said that everyone would eat together, "men and women seven years old are different", the maidservants had already cleaned up another table and were preparing food. As the oldest male, Shen Cang brought a few younger brothers to sit at the table.

Mrs. Zhou naturally sat at the seat of honor, while Mrs. Han pulled Faang Xinsu along to sit at Mrs. Zhou's left side. Faang Xinsu made some excuses, but it was still Mrs. Han who smiled and said, "You're a guest, it's only right that you come from afar."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "You just arrived today, you should be sitting here." Faang Xinsu sat down. Mrs. Han sat down beside Mrs. Zhou. Only then did Shen Tian and her other sisters take their seats on Mrs. Zhou's right hand side.

After they sat down, Mrs. Han said to Qingliu, who was standing beside them, "Cousin has just arrived and is not very familiar with our house. Just follow Cousin from now on and serve her well." Faang Xinsu quickly thanked him.

Mrs. Zhou was worried about her son, so she didn't care too much about the maid that Mrs. Han sent to Faang Xinsu. Although she was happy to add fuel to the fire for Mrs. Han, she was more concerned about her son's life and death. She wouldn't doubt Mrs. Han's decision at this moment.

Although Shen Cang was a bit regretful in his heart, Qingliu's looks weren't particularly outstanding, so he could just sigh to himself.

After a while, the maidservants brought the food over and everyone started to eat.
