Chapter 56 - The standard of a Shen family daughter-in-law

"Grandmother, I'm here." Qin Ruo Chu clasped his hands together in front of him, his dignified aura becoming even more obvious under the contrast of his cheongsam.

Seeing Qin Ruo Chu's obedient and gentle appearance, Old Lady Shen, who originally wanted to throw a tantrum, coldly snorted but did not let out a sound.

"Miss Qin, although he is not from some famous family, he should have some talent. Otherwise, Mu Sheng would not be so resolute in marrying you, it's just that … I wonder if Miss Qin's little cultivation can meet the criteria for us to choose our wives … " Old Lady Shen merely opened his eyes to glance at Qin Ruo Chu, and when she spoke, she closed his eyes again.

Qin Ruo Chu's heart was moved, he naturally understood the meaning of Old Lady Shen's words. Furthermore, she quickly understood why Old Lady Shen called her here alone — — he wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate her so that she would know the difficulties and retreat.

The corner of Qiao Yi Tong's mouth was always carrying a smile, but when she heard Old Lady Shen say this, she unconsciously brought along a taunting tone. She actually wanted to see how a poor girl like her, a person who had been groomed from a young age, could compare to her.

Old Lady Shen, who had been secretly observing the changes in Qin Ruo Chu's expression, was actually unable to see the expected expression on his face after he had said those words.

Old Lady Shen smirked, "Miss Qin, don't blame us. Our family has been a bit busy lately, so we don't have the time to arrange a driver to send you off. Furthermore, Miss Qin has been away from home for such a long time, my family should be worried … " Old Lady Shen spoke slowly, her expression could not be seen.

Hearing Old Lady Shen's words, Qin Ruo Chu frowned for a split-second.

Just by thinking about it, she knew that Old Lady Shen had investigated her and found out about her situation in the Qin Family. The so-called "family" wouldn't even be worried about her safety.

Qin Ruo Chu's eyes dimmed, "I ask Grandmother to be at ease, before we leave, I have already greeted my family members … Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern. " Qin Ruo Chu instinctively tried to find the words to reply, but his face was still calm and no emotions could be seen.

Old Lady Shen snorted, as though she felt what Qin Ruo Chu said was laughable. It could be seen that she had indeed sent people to investigate Qin Ruo Chu's background and family members.

"Miss Qin need not be so courteous with me, we will be guests once we enter. We are part of a famous family, this is something we know. It doesn't look like a small family... Those who come out don't know what's good for them. They don't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is, so why can they even enter this place! " Old Lady Shen's tone became heavier, hinting that the Qin family was very ambitious, wanting to stay with the Shen family.

"Grandmother also said that the Shen family is a well-known family, naturally they are magnanimous and humble. If that was the case, he wouldn't be so superficial as to treat those so-called small families in a mundane manner, right? If that's the case, then wouldn't the Shen family be losing their dignity? "

Qin Ruo Chu narrowed his eyes and said respectfully. Even though he had nothing to say and only said words that were neither servile nor overbearing, they caused Old Lady Shen's expression to immediately change. However, he had nothing to say.

After a long moment of silence, Old Lady Shen opened her mouth once again and said half-heartedly, "That's for sure …"

Hearing that, Qin Ruo Chu's mouth raised into a smile, but that smile was not a ridicule, as though he had won a round.

Qiao Yi Tong frowned. She did not know when Qin Ruo Chu's mouth had become so eloquent.

Qiao Yi Tong had thought that once the Old Lady Shen appeared and humiliated Qin Ruo Chu with a few words, she would definitely not be able to take it anymore. She would then be able to watch a joke and take the opportunity to kick Qin Ruo Chu out of the Shen family using the excuse that she was not fit to be the mistress of the Shen family.

But now it seems … Qiao Yi Tong never thought that against a person with such a strong aura and overbearing attitude from the Old Lady Shen, Qin Ruo Chu would not fall into disarray.

What caused Qiao Yi Tong to be even more surprised was that Qin Ruo Chu's expression did not change as he spoke out those words in a neither humble nor haughty manner … It seemed that she had underestimated Qin Ruo Chu.

Old Lady Shen was someone who had seen a lot in the past, so Qin Ruo Chu's two sentences would not affect the old lady in the slightest.

"Miss Qin, you should also know that no one in our Shen Family knows that Mu Sheng has married you. Of course, no one will agree to that …" After saying that, the Old Lady Shen paused for a while and raised her head to look at Qin Ruo Chu.

"Even now, when this matter is settled, I still have the rights and power to pull you down from your position in the Mrs. Shen! Of course … Miss Qin, do not misunderstand, this is not aimed at you, this is my promise to the ancestors of the Shen Family. " Old Lady Shen said with cold eyes.

"The Shen family has been floating for more than a hundred years, but I am ashamed and helpless for being able to reach this point. Right now, I have not gone to see the ancestors of the Shen family. I naturally have to take care of the matters of the Shen family, so that I will have the face to go see them, don't you think so, Miss Qin? "

The Old Lady Shen said, she took the tea that Qiao Yi Tong had given him and drank it, then nodded in satisfaction.

"..." Yes, Ruo Chu had long heard that the Old Lady Shen had sacrificed a lot for the Shen Family. " Qin Ruo Chu answered firmly.

Old Lady Shen lifted her eyelids and glanced at Qin Ruo Chu.

"Since I have lived for a day, I will think of the Shen family, so this naturally includes the marriage of Mu Sheng, the manager. I don't care whether you're married or not, but whether you can sit firmly in this position of mistress is my concern. " Old Lady Shen put down her teacup and looked at Qin Ruo Chu faintly.

"Since Ruo Chu is already a member of the Shen family, he will naturally do his best for the sake of the Shen family. I hope that Grandmother will be at ease …" Qin Ruo Chu replied seriously.

"Heh …" It's still too early to say that he's from the Shen family, and … Trying to do your best in your own right wasn't just asking for advice, it was also asking for practical action. To be honest, this old woman has her suspicions. " The Old Lady Shen said.

Hearing Old Lady Shen's words, Qin Ruo Chu did not reply, because she could not answer. No matter how much she said, Old Lady Shen did not believe that she had the ability to do so. What's more … Qin Ruo Chu didn't even know if he could do anything to this Mrs. Shen.

Qin Ruo Chu retracted his gaze, and no longer spoke, but his attitude was still as usual, neither servile nor overbearing, and he would never retreat.

Old Lady Shen looked at Qin Ruo Chu who had lowered his eyes, who seemed to be thinking about something, then looked at Qiao Yi Tong who was skillfully and gracefully making the tea, and suddenly had a thought.

"Yi Tong, this tea of yours is pretty good, did you teach yourself?" Old Lady Shen suddenly asked.

Qiao Yi Tong naturally understood why Old Lady Shen suddenly asked this question. Thus, he put down the tea set in his hand and put his hands in front of him. Only then did he maintain his dignified smile.

"Grandmother, Yi Tong knew very early on that Grandmother liked to taste tea, so she went to find Master to learn by herself. From start to finish, she spent half a year." Qiao Yi Tong said respectfully.
