C4 Resolve

Xu was startled, this was the first time the master was so angry at her. After seeing Shen Weiyuan walk out, Xu clenched his hands tightly inside his sleeves. This daughter of his was really her nemesis, if he knew earlier, he would have killed her immediately.

In fact, after hearing what the Daoist said, Xu had planned to kill Shen Qi first. However, because the reason for Shen Weiyuan's failure, he could only send him off from afar.

She felt that the reason why she was still alive and well wasn't because Shen Qi's fate had improved, but was because she was blessed with a better life. Therefore, Shen Qi didn't think that her disliking her was enough, for Xu to hate her.

Shen Weiyuan did not immediately go to the study room. Instead, he went around the corner to the old lady's room.

Shen Weiyuan waved his hands to let her off before he asked, "Is the old lady awake?"

"I'm still awake, having eaten a small bowl of bird's nest. Mother Fang is currently chatting with me, this servant will pass on the message." Peach Blossom spoke very crisply. She had a curvy figure and was dressed in a peach dress. Her rosy cheeks matched her name very well, making her look very pleasing to the eyes.

"Old granny, your grandpa is here." After Peach Blossom entered, she smiled and said, and Shen Weiyuan followed her into the house.

The furnishings in the old lady's room were relatively simple. There were a few vases with fresh flowers in them, a calligraphy and painting hung on them, and a few embroidered stools. The old lady laid down on the bed, while Mother Fang sat beside her feet on the embroidered block, talking to her.

"Come, sit." Seeing that her son had come over, the old lady was very happy. She immediately sat up and signaled Peach Blossom to move the embroidered block for Shen Weiyuan.

Shen Weiyuan was a filial child, he would find time everyday to sit with the old lady, so he did not hold back, directly sitting opposite of the old lady, "Mother, how are you today?"

"Alright, I'm fine." The Old Granny laughed and said, seeing the anger between Shen Weiyuan's brows, she asked, "What happened?"

"It's not Xu yet, Xiao Qi's birthday is going to come soon, and it looks like she's getting old soon. She still doesn't know that there's a Third Miss in our Shang Shu Palace, so I told her to take this opportunity to have a party, and invite some kids of her age to get excited. She wouldn't be happy if I took her out for a walk normally."

She also knew what Xu had done to Shen Qi all these years, but she was too old and her energy was limited. Usually, she could only watch and do nothing more than prevent the servants in the house from bullying her, but she couldn't do anything else either.

At that time, he had wanted to put her in front of him to raise her, but he didn't need to trouble her with his energy and those girls and wives, but Xu felt that everyone was eager for her to die so no one dared to bring up these last words of his.

If something bad happened, the Xu would definitely think that Shen Qi was the culprit. Other people who raised Shen Qi would only wish for her to die, who would dare shoulder this crime? This caused the old lady to not even dare to get close to her granddaughter, for fear that the Xu would think too much of her, so Shen Qi stayed in the Shang Shu Manor's remote Xiang Zhu Courtyard, under the care of the wet nurse.

"Speaking of which, it's because my old woman has too much to do. Wouldn't it be alright if I invited a Taoist to give her a divination?" At that time, she had wanted to know if her child would have any disease in the future so that she could prevent it in the future. But who would have thought that the stinking Daoist Priest would say something like that?

The old lady had forgotten that she had actually believed him at the time as well, otherwise she would not have told Xu. At that time, Xu was still in a weak state after giving birth, and she couldn't care less about anything else.

But at that time, she believed him, so she immediately told Xu and told him to keep Shen Qi away from her mother.

Shen Weiyuan knew all of this, but he couldn't say that his mother was in the wrong, so he quickly comforted her: "This isn't your fault, you also did this out of good intentions."

These words made the old lady feel more comfortable. She also felt that it wasn't her fault, but she couldn't say it herself. If her son said it, then he wouldn't blame her. Even her granddaughter wouldn't be able to find fault with her.

"It's because of me that I owe this child so much." But he still had to say that he cared about Shen Qi.

"Little Seven won't blame you, she would be ashamed if she knew you said that." What she said was not wrong, Shen Qi did not blame her, and even Xu did not resent her, because she did not care about it at all.

If it was a local girl who received such unfair treatment, she would probably be spoiled. If it was not psychological distortions, it was mental darkness, but Shen Qi was not like that. She had the memories of her previous life with her, so she did not have much contact with these people.

She would be grateful to Shen Shang Shu for providing her with such an excellent life and for his care, but she did not feel a sense of belonging, as if she was grateful to someone who accepted you and cared for you.

Even if he wanted to take care of Shen Qi, his time was limited. Furthermore, he did not understand the matters of the inner chamber, so all he could give Shen Weiyuan was a few rare things from time to time. But these things were nothing to Shen Qi.

In her previous life, she had nothing, but she had a lot of money. Her parents felt that she owed them money every time to compensate her, so she ate and drank merrily.

At that time, she was not close to her parents either, but now, Shen Weiyuan's attitude towards her parents from his previous life was no different in essence. She was the same as them, the way they treated each other and the way they treated each and every time they looked at each other.

To put it crudely, Shen Qi didn't even have a deep relationship with Wang Ma and the few girls in her courtyard. Wang Ma's biological daughter couldn't be raised, and she also pitied that she had not been cared for since she was young. She treated Shen Qi as if she were her own biological daughter.

Therefore, Shen Qi felt very satisfied. At least right now, she had someone who was in pain and someone who had treated people sincerely, compared to her previous life where she was even celebrating New Year, it was already much better.

Shen Weiyuan didn't know any of this, he was still thinking about where to find the old lady to make a decision, "Mother, why don't you pay more attention to this young man? Our family owes Little Seven and we always need to find a good family to make her feel good for the rest of her life. "

Only by arousing the old lady's sympathy would he be able to bring Shen Qi to see her. Honestly speaking, Shen Weiyuan had treated Shen Qi quite well, but the same words he said before, even if a man cared about his own child, he wouldn't display such closeness, especially towards a man of ancient times.

"Don't worry about that, I'll pay attention to that. You should also pay attention when you're outside." The old lady was still serious about this matter. After all, no matter what, she was still a girl from the Shang Shu Manor, and would suffer both loss and prosperity. If Shen Qi found a bad family, then he would lose the Shang Shu Manor's face.

"Of course, as long as you check, it will definitely be good." Shen Weiyuan consciously resolved the big issue in his heart, his mood was especially good, and did not forget to compliment the old lady one last time.

At this moment, Peach Blossom came over. "Old lady, would you like to have a meal?" It was time to finish dinner.

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Shen Weiyuan smiled and said, "I'll accompany you to eat today." He never planned to go to Xu.

"Alright, let's go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare the dishes that the master likes." The old lady was very happy. When a person gets old, they would want to have their children walk around their knees.

With Shen Weiyuan accompanying his, the old lady had finished half a bowl of porridge more than usual. Mother Fang was obviously very happy, he kept praising his, "This old lady is very filial.

Seeing the old lady's happy expression, Shen Weiyuan also laughed and said, "Then in the future, your son will have to come a few more times. Mother's food here is especially delicious, don't hate me when the time comes."

"Not at all, not at all." The old lady's face blossomed with happiness, then she said to Mother Fang, "Look at his mouth, he still thinks that the food here is particularly fragrant."

Mother Fang and Peach Blossom teased the old lady happily, causing the atmosphere to become even more lively.

In contrast to the bustling and joyous atmosphere, the Xu's quiet courtyard was exceptionally lonely. Xu had no appetite to eat when he saw the dishes on the table.

Mother Qian was Xu's wet nurse, loyal to the Xu. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but be worried. "Madam, please help out a little."

"Let's leave. I really don't have any appetite." Xu waved his hand to interrupt his mother as he resolutely ordered.

Seeing this scene, his mother knew that no matter how she tried to persuade him, it would be useless. Everything else in the Xu was fine, it was just that he had a stubborn personality.

In fact, the Xu's life had been smooth sailing for the past few years. Her husband was fond of her, her mother-in-law was reasonable, and there were no concubines in the house. Her children were very filial and sensible, the only thing they were unhappy about was Shen Qi's existence.

However, the Daoist Priest's words had left her daughter cold for more than ten years. No matter what, this was too much. Moreover, she was completely fine.

Mother Qian wanted to advise a few things to Xu, but she refused to listen to him no matter what. If he said more, she would hate him, so Mother Qian did not dare to advise him anymore.

All these years, under Madam's deliberate arrangements, outsiders would rarely know that there was a Third Miss in the manor. Even when they went to the outer sect, Xu was unwilling to bring Third Miss along.

The words of the old master were not unreasonable. After all, she was a lady from the Shang Shu Manor, and it was time to worry about her marriage, but just because the old lady was unhappy, it was too excessive, and she couldn't blame the old master for being angry. The old lady's actions were really too chilling, and the Third Miss was her own daughter after all.

However, Mama Qian also knew that she couldn't say anything. She could only let Third Young Miss down. Who told her to be so stubborn?!

Shen Weiyuan thought that he had already arranged everything in the Shang Shu Manor, and when he was outside, he would pay more attention to those young masters that were of appropriate age, the old granny would also send people to inquire about them, and everything would go in a good direction, but her order disrupted all their plans.
