Shen Yan was tinkering in the house until dark, and she didn't go out until Qiu Yu asked her to eat.

"Miss, the prince is really considerate. The dishes he gives you are all your favorite dishes." Qiu Yu put the bowls and chopsticks in place while talking to Shen Yan.

These meals were delivered by the waiter at Zuixianlou. The waiter said that Xie Huaijing specially ordered them.

Shen Yan pursed her lips. She owed Xie Huaijing more and more.

"Qiu Yu, let's set up a stove in the yard. This way you can cook whatever you want. It's convenient and saves money."

When she heard that it could save money, Qiu Yu agreed with her face. She was used to living a hard life and wished she could break a copper plate in half and spend it.

"Okay, miss, I will go find the master to work tomorrow."

Shen Yan said, "Okay, let's eat first."

The master and servant had just sat down and had a few mouthfuls of food when the second lady's voice sounded at the door.

"Shen Yan."

Qiu Yu didn't wait for Shen Yan to speak, immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and walked out.

"Second Madam, Third Miss, why are you here?" Qiu Yu was a little surprised.

"We can't come?" Shen Lan's tone was a little arrogant. Qiu Yu pursed her lips and didn't answer. She didn't want to cause trouble to Shen Yan.

The second lady was not so aggressive and spoke in a gentler tone, "Where is your eldest lady?"

"My eldest lady is eating." Qiu Yu replied.

The second lady and Shen Lan stepped in and saw that Shen Yan was still sitting, showing no intention of getting up to welcome them, and they felt dissatisfied.

However, when they thought of the purpose of their trip, the two suppressed their anger again.

"Sister, didn't you see us coming?" Shen Lan asked.

"Didn't you see me eating?" Shen Yan asked without answering.

Shen Lan wanted to get angry, but the second lady pulled her sleeves. She shook her face and sat down with a cold snort.

She didn't dare to do anything to Shen Qingqing and Shen Yu, but she could still put on airs in front of Shen Yan.

The second lady smiled and said, "If you rush to work, don't rush to eat. When the gods come, they have to eat first."

Shen Yan did not answer her, but looked at Qiu Yu who was standing, "What are you standing for? Sit down and eat."

"Yes, Miss." Qiu Yu sat next to Shen Yan obediently. She even stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of roast duck.

Shen Lan looked at the delicious food on the table and smelled the fragrant aroma, and the jealousy in her heart increased a bit.

At first glance, these dishes did not come from the kitchen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but came from outside, like a good restaurant.

With their second wife's current financial resources, if they want to eat such a table of delicious food, they have to make careful calculations.

Why does Shen Yan live a better life than her?

She concealed the unwillingness in her eyes and sneered, "Sister, I'm not talking about you, how could you let the maid sit at the same table with you to eat? It's so unruly! If you don't know how to discipline, I can do it for you. You should discipline and discipline me!"

"Qiu Yu is a human being, why can't she sit at the same table with me and eat?" Shen Yan asked back.

"This is a rule. It has been like this since ancient times. A servant girl cannot eat at the same table as her master." Shen Lan began to preach.

"My territory, I am the rule! I said Qiu Yu can sit and eat with me, so she can!"

Shen Yan spoke forcefully, "Miss Shen San, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Shen Lan shuddered looking at Shen Yan like this. She trembled her lips and didn't dare to refute a word.

"Okay, okay, it's just a meal, there's no need to be so particular." The second lady tried to smooth things over, "Shen Yan, you and Lan'er are biological sisters, and sisters don't say angry words to each other."

"Why don't I remember that my mother gave me a biological sister?" Shen Yan asked.

The second lady was speechless.

"Shen Yan!" Seeing that Shen Yan didn't take her seriously, Shen Lan suddenly became angry again, "Do you think I care about being your sister? If there was nothing else to do today, I wouldn't come here even if you invited me here. "

"Then you can get out now!" Shen Yan said unceremoniously.

"Shen Yan, don't think that it's great just because you climbed up to the Duke's Mansion! If you offend us, you won't get anything good from the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Shen Lan threatened sternly.

The Second Madam also added fuel to the fire, "Shen Yan, no matter what, sisters are broken bones and tendons, and one family does not talk about two families. You don't have to talk to us like this. We are here today with good intentions..."

"Does the eldest princess know that you are here today?" Shen Yan interrupted the second lady before she could finish her words.

The second lady's last words were stuck in her throat, her face was red and her ears were red.

Shen Yan sneered, "It seems I don't know anymore."

She exposed the purpose of the second lady and Shen Lan, "You came to see me secretly while avoiding the eldest princess today. Don't you just want to use me to deal with the eldest family?"

The conspiracy was exposed, and the second lady and Shen Lan were embarrassed.

"Second Madam, those who take advantage of me will end up being miserable, such as Mrs. Wang and Wang Xiaoshan. Do you want to give it a try?" Shen Yan's voice was cold, and for a moment, the surroundings seemed to become chilly.

Wang Po and Wang Xiaoshan were beaten to death in public, and no one in the entire Prime Minister's Palace knew about it.

When the second lady heard this, her body trembled and her face turned pale.

Shen Lan took a breath, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, she slapped the table and stood up, "Shen Yan, it's better to let go of enemies than to make them knot. If you treat us like this today, aren't you afraid that we will be needed in the future? Will we just stand by and watch? ?”

"Now that you've said it all, let's settle it. When I returned to Beijing, you tripped and wrestled me, causing me to break the tea cup and lose face. How to settle this account?" Shen Yan's voice Cold and faint.

Shen Lan's expression changed. She didn't expect that Shen Yan would still remember this incident. If it was the previous Shen Yan, she would naturally not be afraid, but she had to be wary of the current Shen Yan.

"You... you are so cruel!" Shen Lan tugged on the second lady's sleeve, "Mom, leave quickly!"

The second lady stood up immediately, not even daring to look at Shen Yan. She lowered her head and followed Shen Lan away dejectedly.

They ran away very fast, fearing that if they took a step too slow, they would fall into Shen Yan's hands.

"Miss, don't be angry. Being too angry will harm your health." Qiu Yu advised Shen Yan softly.

"The clown is not worthy of my anger. Let's eat."

After eating, you have to continue to earn money.

Shen Yan's tone was casual.

The Prime Minister's Mansion seems to be in harmony, but in fact it is full of intrigues and different thoughts.

"Yes, Miss." Qiu Yu saw that Shen Yan was not angry, so she also smiled.

After Shen Yan finished eating, she went back into the house. After a while, a flute sounded outside her house.

The sound of the flute is melodious, pleasant to the ear, and pleasant to the body and mind.

Shen Yan raised the corner of her mouth. She felt that the sound of the flute really suited her heart. She had been here for several days, but she had not listened to the music properly.

She couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks on the side and tap the various bottles and jars in front of her.

The jingle bells in the house echoed the flute outside, playing a beautiful piece of music.

The sound of the flute stopped and Shen Yan spoke, "Come in."

She opened the door, and Xie Huaijing stepped into the room and asked curiously, "How did you know it was me?"

"I heard that Prince Zhennan's flute music is one of the best in the capital. I am lucky enough to hear it today." Shen Yan said in a calm voice, "Besides you, who else would come to Miss Shen's house with such a bad reputation? Playing such a nice flute sound?"

Hearing what Shen Yan said, Xie Huaijing's heart tightened, as if he had been scratched hard and it hurt a lot.

"Other people's opinions don't matter. Just be yourself and I will always stand by your side."

Shen Yan didn't expect that his self-deprecation would trigger a burst of confession from Xie Huaijing.

She was a little embarrassed, so she changed the subject, "Why are you here?"

"I went out to do errands today and came back late. I heard about the eldest princess harming you, so I wanted to come and have a look."

Xie Huaijing's voice was full of guilt, "I'm sorry, I wasn't by your side when you were in danger."
