Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

Chapter 47 What is it like to have an eccentric grandmother?

"Miss Shen Er is kind-hearted and filial. She is a rare good girl." The first person to speak was Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette.

"That's it, not only that, Miss Shen Er is talented and ingenious. She is many times better than those girls in my family." The daughter-in-law of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance also agreed.

Her daughter Sun Huanxin was sitting next to her, her face looking very ugly.

Mrs. Sun doesn't care about her daughter's face at all.

"Miss Shen Er's embroidery skills are really amazing. In my opinion, no one in the entire capital can compare with her." The wife of the Minister of Industry also smiled to please her.

"Sister, I am so lucky. I am so envious of having such a well-behaved, sensible, and intelligent granddaughter." Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of War said with a smile on her face. She was only a few years younger than the old lady.

……

Listening to these flattering words, the old lady never stopped smiling.

Of course she knew that these people were so pleased with her not because her son was the prime minister, but because her daughter-in-law was a princess.

Therefore, no matter what happens, even if the eldest princess kills people and sets fire, she will stand by her side.

Only as the eldest princess and mother-in-law can she enjoy endless glory and wealth.

Shen Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled lightly. Her status, talent, and reputation were things Shen Yan could never match.

She just gave Shen Yan a gift and crushed her into dust.

She glanced at Shen Yan lightly, her smile full of disdain.

As long as she, Shen Qingqing, is here, Shen Yan will never be able to turn over!

In this life, Shen Yan is destined to lie at her feet and look up at her!

Shen Yu saw that all eyes were focused on Shen Qingqing, and she felt very unhappy.

Her mother is also the eldest princess, and she is also the daughter of the prime minister. Why does Shen Qingqing get all the limelight?

She is not convinced!

"Grandma, my granddaughter has also prepared a birthday gift for you." Shen Yu stood up and raised his voice, trying to draw all eyes to himself.

"Oh? What did Yu'er prepare for me?" The smile on the old lady's face dropped by three points.

"My granddaughter has been practicing a piece of music recently and wants to play it to her grandmother."

"Okay, then you can play."

"Yes, grandma." Shen Yu's fingers kept playing with her skirt. She was a little nervous, but more happy.

After the servants set up the piano, Shen Yu sat in front of the piano.

She took a deep breath and encouraged herself from the bottom of her heart. She must be a hit with today's song.

She had been practicing this piece of music for a long time. She said that giving the piece to the old lady as a birthday gift was just an excuse. In fact, she wanted to show her talent in front of everyone.

She wants to prove to the world that she, Shen Yu, doesn't have to do anything wrong with Shen Qingqing.

She calmed down and gently plucked the strings with her fingers, and a pleasant sound came out.

Shen Yu was indeed not a mediocre person, and she had also practiced hard. After finishing a song, there was applause from all around.

She stood up, bowed respectfully to the old lady, and said sweetly, "Yu'er wishes grandma to be happy every day and never grow old."

"Never grow old? Haha, grandma is already old." The old lady felt that Shen Yu was not as nice as Shen Qingqing. Of course, Shen Yu could not be compared with Shen Qingqing, the most talented woman in the capital.

"In Yu'er's heart, grandma will always be young." Shen Yu said softly.

"Okay." The old lady said with a smile, "Go and sit down."

"Yes, grandma." Shen Yu curled her lips. She could clearly feel the difference between the old lady's treatment of her and Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing just embroidered a picture of a hundred years of longevity. The old lady's distressed eyes seemed to be engraved in her heart and could not be erased no matter how hard she tried.

Shen Qingqing's hands hurt when she embroidered the Hundred Years' Longevity Picture, which is a hard work. Could it be that her hands didn't hurt when she practiced the piano skill hard? Aren’t people working hard?

unfair!

Obviously she and Shen Qingqing have the same blood, but why does everyone prefer Shen Qingqing?

She is not reconciled!

Shen Yu sat down, lowered his head, with overwhelming hatred in his eyes.

Shen Lan saw that Shen Yu had already given gifts. As the third young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she naturally couldn't lag behind.

"Grandma, Lan'er has also prepared a gift for you."

"What have you prepared?" The smile on the old lady's face was gone.

Compared to Shen Yu, the old lady disliked Shen Lan even more. Shen Lan's father was just a small editor of the Hanlin Academy, only a seventh-grade scholar.

Shen Lan's mother grew up in the countryside and had no knowledge or family background.

With such a father and mother, it will be difficult for Shen Lan to marry into a good family in the future.

The old lady has no interest in such relatives who cannot bring her any benefits.

"Lan'er prepared a dance for grandma." Shen Lan was imitating Shen Qingqing's dignity and generosity.

However, after all, it was Dong Shixiao. Her temperament, talent, and conversation were indeed not as good as Shen Qingqing's.

"Then dance." The old lady's tone was perfunctory.

"Yes, grandma." Shen Lan went to change into a dance dress. She had the same idea as Shen Yu. She took the opportunity to give the old lady a birthday gift to show off her talents and kill two birds with one stone.

As the music played, Shen Lan danced gracefully.

She danced gracefully and looked good. When she finished dancing, everyone burst into applause.

Shen Lan smiled when she heard the applause. She got the result she wanted.

This also increased her confidence. She felt that one day, she would be able to become famous in the capital.

"Grandma, Lan'er wishes you good luck and good health."

"Well, sit back." The old lady said.

"Yes, grandma." Shen Lan knew that the old lady didn't like her, but she didn't force it.

Except for her parents and younger brother, she has never regarded anyone else in the Prime Minister's Mansion as her relatives.

"Grandma, grandma." At this time, a childish voice came from outside.

The old lady hadn't seen the figure yet, but the smile on her face rose when she heard the voice.

When the voice fell, the person had already entered the house.

It's Shen Zheng.

"Grandma, do you see what I brought you?" Shen Zheng ran to the old lady and said with a smile. He closed his hands and there was something hidden in his palms.

"Then grandma can't guess why she is sweating so much?" The old lady looked at the sweat on Shen Zheng's forehead and quickly wiped it gently with the silk handkerchief in her hand, her face full of love.

"It's a bird. I just hit it with a stone." Shen Zheng spread his palm, and the bird remained motionless in his palm.

"Oh, it's dead!" Shen Zheng shouted loudly, "Grandma, the bird is dead!"

It is very unlucky to give dead things to an old lady on her birthday.

Everyone's expressions changed, thinking that the old lady would be furious.

Unexpectedly, the old lady took Shen Zheng's hand and coaxed her softly, "It doesn't matter if you die. Grandma knows that Zheng'er is filial. If Zheng'er is interested, Grandma will have someone catch a live one for you soon."

"Okay, thank you, grandma. Grandma still loves Zheng'er the most." Shen Zheng burst into tears and smiled.

The old lady saw Shen Zheng smiling, and she laughed too.

"Are you tired? Come sit down next to grandma and have a rest. There are iced fruits here. Which one do you want to eat?"

As soon as the old lady spoke, Shen Jianwei automatically gave up her seat, "Zheng'er, come, sit here and talk to your grandmother."

"Yes, Auntie."

Shen Zheng seemed to be accustomed to such a situation, and he naturally sat on the spot where Shen Jianwei was sitting just now.

The old lady didn't say anything to stop him.

No one else in the Prime Minister's Mansion had any reaction. Only He Zining was a little dissatisfied. Why would her mother give up her position to him when Shen Zheng came?

The guests also looked at each other.

Shen Jianwei is a married daughter. When she returns to her parents' home, she will be a guest. Moreover, she is also an elder.

Shen Zheng is no longer a child.

How could Shen Jianwei give up her position to him?

However, after all, this is a family matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. None of the members of the Prime Minister's Mansion have any objections. They are just outsiders, so what opinions can they have?

All the old lady's grandchildren gave gifts, except Shen Yan.

Shen Qingqing's thoughts were on Shen Yan from beginning to end. When she saw that Shen Yan was still unmoving, she asked, "Eldest sister, what gift have you prepared for grandma?"
