Shen Yan moved the bamboo basket beside him forward, "Here."

"Sister, is this what you're giving me?" Shen Qingqing almost laughed out loud.

Shen Yu's emotions were not concealed as well as Shen Qingqing's. She laughed twice and said, "Shen Yan, do you think our Prime Minister's Mansion is a rag picker? You even gave rag flowers to your grandmother as a birthday gift!"

"Shen Yan, you have no talent or art, but you are not poor. Didn't you blackmail your eldest sister for [-] taels of silver before? Why are the gifts so shabby?" Shen Lan asked with a smile.

He Zining was indignant, "Shen Yan, you are not giving a gift, you are humiliating my grandmother!"

"Shame on you! Get out!" Shen Zheng pointed at Shen Yan and shouted loudly.

The guests also whispered.

"I heard that Miss Shen is a bit stupid. I don't think she is stupid, but stupid. How can she give flowers to an old man as a birthday gift?"

"Even so, I don't even know what kind of family the Prime Minister's Mansion is. The old lady is the mother-in-law of the eldest princess. I haven't seen anything like that!"

"It's so pitiful that such a woman appears in a family."

……

Listening to everyone's discussion, the old lady finally became angry.

"Shen Yan! Why don't you kneel down!" the old lady shouted.

"Sister, today is grandma's birthday. Don't be ignorant. If grandma asks you to kneel down, kneel down quickly. Don't make grandma angry on such a happy day." Shen Qingqing looked sensible and taught patiently. Shen Yan.

Ever since Shen Yan broke off the engagement, she had never seen Shen Yan kneeling in front of her.

She missed the days when Shen Yan was at her mercy. At that time, she asked Shen Yan to kneel, but Shen Yan would never dare to stand.

Shen Yan smiled lightly.

"You only see this is a bamboo basket filled with colorful flowers, but do you know how much thought I put into it?"

"I get up before dawn in the morning, and then go to the mountains to pick flowers. In order to make the colors of the flowers look better, I go over the mountains and go to different mountains to pick different flowers."

"Flowers have a very good meaning, representing beauty, blessing, and joy. I gave this heart to my grandmother. I didn't expect that so many of you would scold me. It's really heartbreaking. Haven't you heard of 'courtesy is light on affection?' Is this sentence important?"

As she finished speaking, the guests who had just slandered her blushed.

They didn't know the origin of this basket of flowers before. If they knew, they would never insult Shen Yan under any circumstances.

If their juniors were willing to put so much thought into giving them such a gift, they would probably wake up laughing when they fell asleep.

Such pure and sincere feelings are simply more precious than gems.

Shen Qingqing looked at the guilty faces of the guests and secretly thought that Shen Yan was so talkative. This was obviously sophistry.

"Sister, you said you carefully selected this flower, so why is it wilted?" Shen Qingqing asked.

"Second sister, have you ever gone to the mountains to pick flowers yourself?" Shen Yan asked back.

Shen Qingqing said, "So what?"

"I came back after a long journey. The sun is so hot outside, and even people will be wilted, regardless of flowers." Shen Yan said, "I thought everyone would understand my feelings, but now it seems that it is just wishful thinking on my part. "

Her pitiful appearance made the guests feel ashamed.

However, Shen Qingqing still held on to her.

"There are flowers in the house, why do you have to go so far away to pick flowers?"

"Second sister, do you think that with my status in the mansion, I dare to pick flowers in the mansion? Besides, what's the point of picking flowers in the mansion? Grandma can see the flowers in the mansion every day, and they grow on the mountains. Flowers, grandma probably hasn’t seen them for many years, right?”

Shen Yan looked at Shen Qingqing, "Second sister, you just said that only things made by yourself can represent sincerity. How come the hundred-year-old picture you embroidered with your own hands can represent your filial piety, but the flowers I picked with my own hands cannot represent me." Where is your filial piety?"

Shen Qingqing was speechless.

Shen Yan continued, "The hundred-year-old picture you embroidered, whether it is needlework or cloth, all came from the Prime Minister's Mansion. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion belongs to my grandmother. How can you show your filial piety by using her things to give to your grandmother?" What? At least my basket of flowers didn’t cost the Prime Minister’s Mansion a single copper penny.”

Shen Qingqing blushed. She never thought that the birthday gift she had prepared so hard would be devalued by Shen Yan as worthless.

The guests started talking, and they actually felt that what Shen Yan said was somewhat reasonable.

Shen Yu saw Shen Qingqing suffered a big loss, and she laughed out loud with joy.

Just in time, Shen Yan's eyes fell on her.

"Shen Yu, right? You said my flowers are broken flowers, so what kind of piano do you play?"

Shen Yan exposed her unceremoniously, "Are you trying to give a gift? You're just showing off your talent by giving a gift!"

"I can still appreciate my poor flowers and use them as decorations. What can you do with your poor music?"

"You...!" Shen Yu's face turned red with anger, but she could not refute. She was no match for Shen Yan.

Upon seeing this, the old lady knew that what Shen Yan said was true. Sure enough, Shen Yu was not sincere in even giving a gift. She glared at Shen Yu coldly, and Shen Yu immediately lowered his head.

Shen Yan continued to look at Shen Lan, "And you, Shen Lan, you and Shen Yu have the same thoughts, you want to express yourself. You are so hypocritical. You usually call 'Grandma Grandma' so nicely. You keep saying that you want to express yourself." Honoring your grandmother, but not even forgetting to give her a birthday gift, this kind of filial piety is truly shabby and cheap!"

The old lady didn't like Shen Lan. After hearing this, she gave Shen Lan a look. Shen Lan didn't dare to raise her head and kept staring at her own toes.

Shen Yan continued to deal with He Zining and Shen Zheng...
