Chapter 209 Favor
Chapter 209 Favor
Yunli didn't like what Xu had, so after paying his respects hastily, he hid beside the old lady and that was that.
"Asshole! How can you be so disrespectful to your biological mother!"
Shen Hongtai shouted.
His granddaughter spoke coldly to him, but he endured it. After all, he really didn't treat her well.
But Xu was her biological mother after all, the mother who gave birth to her after ten months of pregnancy! Even if she had no merits, she had worked hard, so how could she be treated like this?
Didn’t you see that Xu was staggering and crying uncontrollably?
"What the old man said is very interesting. On the one hand, he doesn't want to acknowledge me, but on the other hand, he thinks that it's treason for me not to acknowledge her. Those who know would say that Xu is your daughter-in-law, but those who don't know would think that Xu is your biological daughter based on your expression! How can you degrade your own granddaughter for a mere daughter-in-law from another family? I wonder what the ancestors of the Shen family would think if they knew about this."
Yunli smiled and talked gently, but the words he said were like a knife, piercing the old man's heart.
"How dare you!" The old man slammed the table, and his descendants knelt on the ground.
But Yunli was not afraid. "We are only half-relatives, so let's be frank today. If the old man wants to test me, that's enough. But if you want to control me, you'd better give up the idea as soon as possible. I have the ability to make you admit me into the mansion, and I naturally have the ability to tear my face off with you and leave this mansion."
"Please remember, I am willing to come to the Shen Mansion to be the master, not to be a servant. Put away your way of scolding servants. Otherwise, I can't say how long your favorite daughter-in-law and your favorite granddaughter will be talked about by outsiders."
"Good! Well said! You are worthy of being a child of our Shen family! Everyone, stand up!"
Jiang smiled and clapped her hands vigorously, saying, "Grandpa, didn't you say before that Qingzhu was quite bold and had your style? Now Qingyun is even better than Qingzhu, you should be happy! Oh, don't scare the child with a stern face. Yaoxiang, go and take off the jade pendant that the old man is wearing and give it to Qingyun as a reward."
"Eh!"
Yaoxiang was the most loyal maid in Jiang's house. After hearing this, she went straight up and snatched a jade pendant from the old man's waist and handed it to Yunli, "Miss, this is for you!"
"Call her the second girl! That's so unruly!"
The old man was unable to keep his jade pendant from the maid's hands. He felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly tried to make up for it by using small details.
"Second Miss, this is for you!"
Seeing that the old lady did not refute, Haruka changed her tone.
Yunli didn't care about the little thing called him, but he felt a little disgusted with the jade pendant.
They all have an old-fashioned feel!
"This piece of jade is worth some silver after all. If you don't like it, you can sell it for silver."
The old lady was also mischievous. She smiled and added, "It would be inappropriate for Qingyun girl to have no one to serve her. Well, let Yaoxiang take care of you first."
Xu was horrified. "Mother, how can we use your maid? Let my maid serve her first!"
The old lady looked at her and smiled, "You haven't shown any compassion in these few days. Are you waiting here to embarrass me?"
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare!"
Xu quickly knelt down again, deliberately showing her slightly swollen face, and said, "My daughter-in-law was not feeling well before, so she didn't dare to go out, which delayed her."
"Since you have this intention, it is good. But since you are not feeling well, there is no need to work so hard. Liu, please help prepare the remaining maids."
The old lady waved her hand and stopped talking about this topic.
This time, she was enough to criticize the absurd behavior of Xu and the old man. The grandchildren were still standing there, so she had to give them some face.
Fortunately, this granddaughter is a hard-working person, otherwise if she was controlled by this group of biased people, I'm afraid...
The old lady closed her eyes and thought of her two granddaughters who had died in vain.
After all, she is also a biased ghost...
"It has been prepared for Qingyun a long time ago. We are just waiting for Qingyun to meet all the elders and then go to Lingyun Court to choose it in person!" Liu said with a smile.
Since she is in charge of household chores, she naturally has to do her job so that no one can find any mistakes.
Seeing that everyone had greeted each other politely, the old lady was also tired. She looked at Yunli lovingly and said, "Yaoxiang will follow you. If there is anything you are not satisfied with in the courtyard, you can tell your aunt. There is no need to be polite among family members. If there is someone who dares to offend you, let Yaoxiang slap her dozens of times first, and then take her to your aunt to deal with. Do you understand?"
These words were said in front of a room full of people, clearly supporting Yunli.
Shen Qingyue and his two brothers were startled and quickly put away the impatient looks on their faces, fearing that Yaoxiang would not recognize her relatives and would beat them too.
As for Xu, her eyes turned red again.
But at this moment, apart from her three sons, even her husband Shen Xiuyang, who had always loved her, didn't even pay attention to her and only looked at Yunli wholeheartedly.
Xu bit her lip and felt like her heart was broken!
This daughter was really born to bring bad luck to her!
"Don't worry, grandma. Your granddaughter won't let you suffer any loss!"
Yunli smiled and bid farewell to the old lady, and also to her uncle, father and third uncle. Then, she was surrounded by her aunt, third aunt and a group of maids and old women as she walked towards her own Lingyun Courtyard.
Liu and Chang knew the truth of the matter, and they felt more sympathy for Yunli, so they seemed particularly enthusiastic at this moment.
"Qingyun, my mother's family has a niece who is only fourteen years old this year, about the same age as you. If you are bored, can I ask her to come over to play with you for a while?"
Liu said very considerately.
She heard from her husband that this girl only knew a few words, and she did not have a good life in the village in her early years. She has been struggling to survive outside in recent years. She is afraid that she is not very proficient in etiquette and rules.
Qingyun is the only legitimate daughter of the Shen family. She is beautiful and has a temper that even the old man can't control. With her noble status, one can imagine what kind of fortune she will have in the future.
Her niece from her mother's family was a well-known virtuous girl in the capital, well-educated, sensible and gentle. If she let her niece be Qingyun's teacher and teach her the things that a noble lady should learn, it would be a favor to her second uncle, and it would also allow her niece and Qingyun to have a friendship, which would be good for both of them!
Yunli was a little confused. "I heard that Shen Qingzhu and a cousin both studied at Wenshan Academy. Is it this cousin?"
