Xiu Ying was not only eight years old, but she had also heard the hint of that woman's voice, causing people to be slightly angry in her heart.

He had come to be a proper guest, yet he was being talked about for no reason.

She smiled in a quiet and delicate atmosphere and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your praises and for receiving my parents' praises. I don't dare to claim credit for my actions."

The little girl smiled mischievously. It was sweet and charming, and everyone's mood somehow became relaxed.

What he said wasn't wrong either. What kind of eyes did she have? It was given to her by her parents, and it was hard not to be frivolous when someone grew up with peach blossom eyes. Wasn't this just scolding her parents?

To use a little girl as a topic of conversation, that was bad enough.

Everyone recalled that the woman was a cousin of the Du Family, and their gazes simultaneously landed on the little girl next to the woman. A hint of understanding appeared. Could it be that these two wanted to kiss each other and then hear about how young master Du got angry over his beauty?

The wives present weren't idiots. After a moment of thought, they became vigilant. This woman not only schemed against a young lady, but also schemed against their hearts in order to watch the show. If he had really thought like that and felt that the young mistress of the Shen family was so frivolous, he would have borrowed her mouth to spread the news of today's events. If that were the case, they might even accidentally offend the Shen family.

This was truly a black-hearted person!

The crowd thought of the crux of the matter and their expressions changed. They looked at the two wives of the Du Family with gazes that seemed to be filled with fire.

Lady Feng, who originally wanted to refute, didn't expect her daughter to be a step ahead of her. She even secretly ridiculed the other party for not having any moral character. Mrs. Feng smiled and added, "Yes, parents who suffer from physical injuries will always have a similar inheritance. Madam, do you think so? "

As soon as these words came out, the woman realized that she had been beaten by Xiu Ying. Her face immediately turned ashen.

Madam Feng was not only saying that the other party's character was bad, but was also saying that with her character, she might even raise a child for her. In other words, she was scolding that woman for not being good at rearing.

"This show is about to begin, what are you standing there talking about?" The Crown Prince's wife finally opened her mouth to stop the matter from escalating further.

The woman felt wronged and called out, "Cousin." The Crown Prince's wife looked at her with a smile, but her gaze was so cold that it could freeze a person into ice. The woman shuddered and obediently sat down with her mouth shut. Her downcast eyes were filled with resentment.

Madam Feng was also pulled to the seat by the Crown Prince's wife. With a smile on her face, Madam Huang couldn't help but glance at the Crown Prince a few times.

The first one to sing was Jade hairpin. Everyone was attracted by the performance and gradually immersed into the scene. They had forgotten about what happened just now.

The male guests were also in an uproar.

Everyone knew that the Marquis of Yongping was a wise man, but there was no troupe invited from the front yard. Instead, everyone gathered together to enjoy the wine.

Old Master Shen had been trying his best to keep his spirits up ever since he had taken his seat. It was completely because his brother was sitting by his side that he felt uncomfortable, not to mention that the Marquis of Yongping was smiling warmly at Shen Jun.

Why didn't he know that this little brother was still in contact with the Yongping manor?

Old Master Shen had something hidden in his heart, so he was a bit distracted. He had accidentally played it three times, and it was only the first time. As a state's father and mother official, he was somewhat embarrassed.

"Alright!"

Just as Master Shen was feeling depressed, the crowd suddenly gave a cheer. It was because Shen Junxiao had perfectly matched the last sentence.

Old Master Shen's expression darkened again.

After the first round ended, Shen Junxiao excused himself and left. Soon, someone came up to greet him, "Master Shen San, our son said that if Master San wishes to meet Master Hou, he can let me lead you there."

Shen Jun smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that this Marquis Yongping was rather tactful. He knew that he would definitely come to see the Marquis.

Master Shen wanted to go up to the official's room, but just in time to see the attendant bringing him towards the inner courtyard.

East?

Master Shen looked doubtfully at the two figures at the corner of the veranda, trying to discern their direction.

Wasn't the east side the place the Marquis of Yongping lived?

Has that kid gone to see Marquis Yongping?!

At first, Old Master Shen thought that his younger brother had some connections with the Yongping Mansion, but now, he was filled with anger.

He had been an official at Yongping Mansion for many years, but he had only seen the Marquis five or six times, and it was because he had tried to rope him in that time that he had been able to meet him a few times. Shen Junxiao had actually left alone.

This little brother had relied on the Yongping manor for a long time?! For the past two years, he had been openly and secretly trying to curry favor with Crown Prince Yongping. In his eyes, it was as if he was watching a joke!

Old Master Shen felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation. His resentment towards Shen Jun's smile had suddenly reached its peak. He had even thought to himself, why didn't he drown this rebellious little brother of his back then?

Old Master Shen stood by the wind for a long time before finally calming down a little and returning to the main hall. Shen Jun smiled and soon saw Marquis Yongping. The old man was sitting under a tree and playing chess with him. When he saw him, he pointed at the chess board and said, "Come, let's play a round."

"Alright." Shen Jun smiled and bowed to him, then sat down and picked up Hei Zi.

Just as he was about to fall, his hand paused again, causing the Marquis of Yongping to raise his head and look at him, "What, you're already hesitating after only taking the first step?"

"Not really." Shen Jun laughed as he retracted his hand, pinching the black cloth with his white fingertips. "I want to have a wager with you."

When Marquis Yongping heard this, he let out a 'heh' sound, "You little rascal actually still want a prize. Are you that sure that you can win?"

Shen Jun smiled without saying a word, his eyes were bright and confident. Marquis Yongping sized him up before laughing out loud. "What do you want? You actually said it like that."

"I want that stinky brat Du Yicheng to not be allowed to come to the Shen family."

The youth's voice was faint, causing the Marquis of Yongping to be stunned.

He asked, "What do you mean?"

"Literally." Shen Jun smiled slowly and said, "Last time, because of him, my reputation was almost ruined. Now, it is not appropriate for him to go in and out of the Shen family. Moreover, he is disobedient. "

— Not obedient. The Marquis of Yongping was really convinced by Shen Junxiao's adjective, but he understood the meaning behind it. It was that his grandson had gone to pester his little niece again.

"Stinking brat, useless." The Marquis of Yongping cursed, "He should go out and gain some experience."

This was the meaning behind his words.

Shen Junxiao then calmly looked at the place where he landed and coldly snorted, "You are also a stinky brat, you are being too protective." He immediately started making things difficult for the old man.

"You're right." As long as he could win, Shen Junxiao would not care about humility.

The Duke of Yongping choked and stopped talking with Shen Jun. He only focused on the game.

The wind rustled the leaves in the courtyard. One old man and one young man sat there for more than an hour. In the end, the Marquis of Yongping lost the child in his hands.

"You're amazing, admitting defeat!"

The Marquis of Yongping rubbed his shoulder, unable to get down.

Shen Jun's laugh was too fierce, and his words were sharp and swift. He would rather throw away his chess piece and swallow his own son one step at a time. In fact, Shen Jun Xiao had actually won by one move.

"Thank you." Shen Jun smiled and cupped his hands towards the old man. He had a smile on his face and looked harmless.

The Marquis of Yongping glanced at him. This brat looked refined, but was actually ruthless inside. Not only was he ruthless, but he was also very reserved and was able to keep his composure. Terrible.

How old is he?

Yongping felt that his brother master had raised a little monster. He went back to the main topic at hand. "What you said …"

"Grandfather."

A voice interrupted the words of the Marquis of Yong Ping. The old man inwardly sneered and raised an eyebrow. Turning his head to look at Shen Jun, he saw the young man's expression darken.

This brat actually bumped into him.
