Mrs. Zhang was a little helpless. She wanted to persuade her again when the maid at the door said, “Second Young Master, you’re here.”
Shen Yuan strode in.
“Yuan.” Seeing Shen Yuan enter, Old Madam Shen’s attitude softened a lot. When Shen Yuanbai saw him, he smiled at his second brother.
Shen Yuan did not reach out to hug Shen Yuanbai. He only smiled and said, “I’m here to see Grandmother.”
“You don’t have to come. I know you are busy lately.” Although Old Madam Shen said so, she still revealed a happy smile. Among these grandsons, she loved Shen Yuan the most. Shen Yuan was young and had just become an official. Everyone praised him, which made her proud. Naturally, Old Madam Shen valued him the most.
“I was lucky enough to get a bottle of Jade Snow Cream and specially brought it to you. Grandma, please don’t decline.”
Shen Yuan smiled and handed the bottle to Old Madam Shen.
Old Madam Shen was a little surprised, but then she pretended to be angry. “I’m already so old. What’s the use of these cosmetics for me? Are you deliberately trying to tease me?” However, she held the bottle tightly like it was a rare treasure.
Old Madam Shen used to be a singer after all, so even if she was old, she didn’t stop putting cosmetics on her. Shen Yuan’s thoughtfulness immediately wiped away Old Madam Shen’s gloomy mood.
“Grandmother is young. Only someone as noble as you deserve such a rare thing,” Shen Yuan flattered without batting an eye. The two of them chatted for a while. Shen Yuan was a smart person. Old Madam Shen liked him to begin with and even more so when she heard the sweet nothings. The atmosphere in Rongjing Hall was extremely harmonious. Even Shen Yuanbai, who was on the couch, was ignored.
After talking for a while, Shen Yuan suddenly thought of something and said casually, “Speaking of which, Grandmother, CousinsI are coming in a few days, right?”
Old Madam Shen paused for a moment before saying coldly, “They’ll leave after staying for a few days.” Before Old Madam Shen became a singer, she had a family. Perhaps it was her family who sold her to a brothel. Old Madam Shen’s ancestral home was in Suzhou. Later, Old Madam Shen was brought to the capital by Old General Shen to be his concubine, so she cut off all contact with her family. However, this year, her family found out about Old Madam Shen’s whereabouts from somewhere and asked their grandchildren to go to the capital. They said that they were here to see Old Madam Shen, but in fact, everyone knew that they were just here to take advantage of her.
After being seperated from her family for so long, Old Madam Shen naturally wasn’t so enthusiastic about them coming to see her. Hearing Shen Yuan mention this, she was unwilling to talk more about it.
Shen Yuan smiled and said, “I’ve never seen my cousins before. They’re probably about the same age as Fifth Sister.” He sighed. “Speaking of which, when Eldest Brother returned to the capital this time, I heard that Eldest Uncle and Aunt are choosing a girl for him. They’re probably concerned about his marriage.”
“They are choosing a wife for Shen Qiu?” Old Madam Shen immediately sat up straight. “Yuan, do you know if they have decided on anyone yet?”
“I don’t know.” Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said, “However, with Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt’s influence and status, they will naturally find a wife from an equally powerful family for Eldest Brother. I think in the coming future, Eldest Brother will be very successful.”
The more Shen Yuan said that, the uglier Old Madam Shen’s expression became. After a while, she said sourly, “That depends on whether the girl likes him or not!”
Shen Yuan pretended not to know and said casually, “But the most important thing is that Eldest Brother likes the girl. If Eldest Brother likes the girl, it doesn’t matter if she’s not from a rich family or the. Perhaps, Eldest Brother will fall in love with our cousin. Isn’t that great if that happens?”
