Shen Lian had been sitting for most of the afternoon, her butt was going to go numb, and now she had a little temper, and directly threw the things on the table.

"This is too difficult, Shen Ying cannot possibly finish it herself, Aunt, what are you scheming so hard for?!" What higher than this! "

Hearing her daughter's angry words, Aunt Cui's expression turned gloomy, "It's because Shen Yu Ying won't do it herself, so you have to do it yourself!" She took the half of her forehead and put it back in her daughter's hand.

"Your grandmother could tell who was truly faking it at a glance, so she will naturally pamper you a little more in the future."

When Aunt Cui finished speaking, her voice had softened and she was half coaxing her daughter.

Shen Lian pouted, "What's the use of me working so hard, who knows if Grandmother can see through it! I haven't seen Father in a long time! "

His daughter's words were like needles piercing Aunt Cui's heart.

Ever since she was grounded, Master Shen really hadn't taken a single step into her courtyard. It was also because she understood how cold this man was that she sent Susu away. And all of this was due to the mother and daughter pair!

Thinking of Madam Feng, the hatred in Aunt Cui's heart surged. Under the candlelight, her charming face revealed a fiendish look. Shen Lian was still feeling discontented. However, when she saw her mother like this, her hands trembled and she quickly lowered her head.

When Aunt Cui asked her to continue sewing, she didn't resist at all. When Aunt Cui saw her like this, her expression softened a little. She called out to Susu and asked, "Where's Soo Xue?"

"Reporting to Aunt …" "Master, the manservant by your side just came …" Su E stammered.

There was no need to explain further, Aunt Cui smashed the cup beside her.

Shen Hong, that lecherous pervert!

There was a commotion in the room, and all the servants in the yard turned to look at them before continuing with their work. As he thought about this Aunt Cui, he wondered if he could be pampered again.

It was soon Old Lady Shen's birthday.

Master Shen was a local parent official, so the birthday celebration was naturally extremely lively. The congratulating people flowed in and out, and the birthday celebration was sent to the Kang Ning Courtyard one by one.

Old Lady Shen was wearing a red and golden rind today, a Xiang Qun embroidered with cranes, and a ruby the size of a thumbnail on her forehead.

The hall was already filled with female members, all of whom were happily chatting with each other, causing Old Lady Shen to be even more amused as she squinted her eyes and smiled.

Xiu Ying calmly sat on the side and ate her pastries. She rather admired these madams. From the start till now, it had been at least three-quarters of an hour. Her mother was also powerful. She echoed them with ease and was able to bring about an even more lively atmosphere.

Do you remember how, when she first married, she was fond of such occasions, and how, after a while, she became unwilling to go out because Li Qingzhao married Shen Lian as a wife?" Xiu Ying was in a bit of a daze. She remembered that this was not the case ….

She was lost in thought, but Shen Lian, who had been sitting there for a long time, suddenly stood up and offered her her birthday present.

Everyone's voices paused. Seeing the charming young lady who took out the birthday present after borrowing the topic, and with such eyes, a lady who rarely came smiled and said, "This must be a lady from the mansion. She's really pretty."

The atmosphere in the room immediately turned awkward.

The lady noticed that everyone was looking at her with a subtle expression. Her heart skipped a beat. Did she say something wrong?

Shen Lian's face was burning, and she was about to pinch her forehead. She had actually been admitted her wrongs by someone, and that person was obviously fawning over Madam Feng!

Old Madam Shen felt a little awkward looking at this granddaughter of hers who had suddenly presented a gift.

Madam Feng laughed and said to the nervous Madam, "This is the Second Miss of our residence."

Sure enough, the woman's expression also became extremely awkward. Madam Feng still smiled and said, "No wonder you let Mrs Yao admit your wrongs. The two sisters are only a few months off from each other. They're both children, there's no difference."

Xiu Ying immediately stood up. She straightened her dress and bowed to everyone. "Xiu Ying greets the various madams."

There were many people who sent gifts just now, and there were also many who spoke words of congratulations. People kept coming in, and even juniors like them only silently looked at the crowd and did not reveal their identities when they saw the gifts. Xiu Ying's words could be considered as a way to smooth things over for Lady Yao, who had admitted her wrongdoings.

Mistress Yao's complexion improved, and she smiled and waved her hand. Xiu Ying obediently stepped forward, and saw that she had pulled out a bracelet from her wrist, directly putting it on her hand.

"Oh wow, this ball of powder looks so good." "In a few years, you will become a pure, pure, pure, and pure little girl. I am truly envious of the Madam Prefect."

Mrs. Yao's family was a local family with a scholarly background. They had once served as a high-ranking official in their ancestors. However, after generations, their status had waned. Even so, these families still had some money to spare, especially when they came out to the banquet.

When Madam Feng saw the extremely good bracelet, she was at a loss for words.

However, Lady Yao insisted on giving this to him. This could be considered as giving face to the Feng Family. Xiu Ying, understanding this, sweetly declined a few words of thanks. Then, under the gazes of everyone present, she passed the bracelet to Madam Feng. "Mother, help your daughter store it properly. Your daughter is afraid of touching it."

When Lady Yao heard this, her smile deepened. How could she not be happy when the gift she gave was valued by others?

The embarrassment of recognizing the wrong person was gone just like that. Old Madam Shen was still smiling, but Madam Feng's words just now had stabbed into her heart. It was not a glorious thing to say that there was a difference of a few months between his granddaughter and his concubine.

Madam Feng was reminding her not to make a happy niece who had committed such a heinous crime.

Old Madam Shen wanted to complain, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. She took Shen Lian's things, complimented him and told his mother to keep it. Since someone from the younger generation offered a birthday present, Yingyu and the others naturally followed suit.

Old Mrs. Shen accepted it with a smile. She looked at the forehead smears that were sent to her a little longer and praised them a few more times. This was the most agreed upon amongst all the juniors.

Shen Lian stood at the side, she was embarrassed and angry, if not for the number of people, she would be so angry that she would cry. Now even her grandmother was biased towards that damned girl!

The hall was full of people, and since Madam Feng was afraid of keeping these juniors in check, she instructed her wife to take them to the garden to play. The children would not like to listen to the singing that would start in a moment.

As a result, the little girls all went to the garden, and the bustle was so great that they wanted to jump at the butterflies. They got along quite well.

Although Xiu Ying was not the oldest, but her main family's status was also the highest. She couldn't help but be dragged along to play. She didn't want to ruin the mood of the girls, so she could only jump from rope to rope. Unexpectedly, she only jumped a few times before her body slanted to the side. He was caught off guard by pushing Chen Tong, who was in front of him, to judge the family.

Chen Er screamed.
