Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

When Shen Yuqing saw that his daughter-in-law was so amused by him that she no longer wanted to talk to him, she still felt a little guilty and thought about buying her something to coax her, whether it be jewelry or clothes.

But his wife didn't seem to be lacking. What was her shortcoming? Shen Yuqing racked his brains to think about it, so he had to think of a way, that is, he could only work harder at night.

"Qing'er, it's getting late. It's time for us to go home. E Niang and Amma are probably already here."

Qing'er gave him a reaction when she saw him mentioning her parents-in-law.

"Then let's go quickly, so as not to keep Ama'er Niang waiting for too long."

"Remember to bring the persimmons I bought."

Shen Yuqing was in a good mood when he saw that his wife finally took care of him. As expected, she still felt sorry for me.

After the couple said goodbye to Fujin, they took a carriage back to Zhongyi Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Shen prepared a table of delicious dishes and waited for her son and daughter-in-law to come home.

Mr. Shen, who had just returned from drinking with his old friend, looked surprised and rubbed his hands.

"Madam, what day is it today? Why have you prepared so much? It couldn't be my birthday. That's not right. My birthday is in August."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at him, "I have been thinking about drinking and birthdays all day long. What you are thinking is quite beautiful. Today is the 100th day that Qing'er married into our Hou family. I thought about such a memorable day. Of course it’s a day to celebrate, so I cooked a table of delicious dishes myself. What do you think?”

Lord Shen glanced at his wife sadly, a bit disgusted.

"Oh, you've never cared so much about me."

Mrs. Shen smiled angrily, "You are really getting more and more active as you get older, and you are even jealous of your juniors. Which year of your birthday is not arranged by me with great fanfare?"

Lord Shen thought about it and took the initiative to come to her and said, "Madam, it's all my fault. Just ignore the faults of villains. Please forgive me."

"Look at you like that. If the children see it, they might laugh at you behind your back."

The corners of Mrs. Shen's mouth raised slightly, obviously she liked what he did.

After a while, Shen Yuqing and Qing'er came back, and Mrs. Shen happily greeted them.

"You're back, go wash your hands quickly, my mother-in-law has cooked a table of delicious dishes today and is waiting for you to come back."

Shen Yuqing felt embarrassed to have his parents wait for him every day, scratched his head and whispered.

"Mom, from now on you and Ama can eat first, don't wait for us two."

Mrs. Shen was almost pissed off by this brat, "We two have nothing to do in the house. We are not the ones who control the situation. There is nothing we can't afford to wait for. Why are you so polite to E Niang?"

When Qing'er saw her mother-in-law talking about her husband, she stepped forward to defend him.

"Mother, Yu Qing, that's not what he meant. He was worried that he would come back late and leave you and Ama hungry. As a human being, he would feel guilty."

Mrs. Shen smiled so hard that her daughter-in-law knew how to love her son. This was a good thing and a great joy.

"Eniang knows, Eniang and your Ama like to wait, you go and wash up quickly."

The family sat at the dinner table. Shen Yuqing and Qing'er looked at each other and asked tentatively.

"Mother, what happy event is happening in the house today?"

Mrs. Shen did not say anything, but stretched out her foot and stepped on her husband. Mr. Shen was eating vegetables when his wife stepped on him, and he was a little confused.

"Madam, why are you stepping on me?"

Mrs. Shen simply couldn't bear to see it. She has lost all her reflexes as she gets older.

"Don't you hear your son asking you what day it is?"

Only then did Lord Shen react and touched his beard.

"Son, today is the 100th day since Qing'er married into our Marquis' Mansion. Your mother-in-law has been counting the days on her fingers. Why wouldn't she be up and down before dawn today?"

Qing'er was flattered, her face was pink, "Mom, Amma, you are so kind to Qing'er."

"Silly boy, eat quickly. Without you, I doubt Yu Qing would have been a bachelor for the rest of his life."

Mrs. Shen knew that her son was picky, and after so many years, Qingge, who stood out among the Eight Banners, caught his eye.

The result was just as Mrs. Shen had guessed. In her previous life, Shen Yuqing was too picky and refused to compromise on her marriage. She remained single all her life and resolutely refused to marry so as not to delay her.

"Mother, how can you bury your own son like this?" Shen Yuqing put down the jade key in his hand and looked helplessly at his old mother.

"There's nothing wrong with what I said. Why don't you serve Qing'er a bowl of black-bone chicken soup? I've been simmering it for two hours."

Mrs. Shen curled her lips and refused to let anyone criticize her. She turned around and assigned him the task of serving soup.

"Black-bone chicken soup?!" Mr. Shen immediately jumped up, his voice rising a few degrees, "Where does the black-bone chicken come from?"

Mrs. Shen threw the chopsticks in her hand on the table, and a look in her eyes was enough to make a hurricane pass through Mr. Shen's heart.

"If you want to eat, just let me eat in peace. If you don't want to eat, go back to the house and stay there!"

Not just a black-bone chicken. I saw a black-bone chicken in your yard with shiny black hair. It was fat and healthy, so I made the decision and asked my servants to kill it to replenish Qing'er's body. It was a waste of money. Food, why do you have any objections? "

Lord Shen's heart felt cold and he sat down with a grimace, wailing in his heart, "My chicken!" Chicken, I'm sorry for you!

"Madam, that chicken cost me a full two hundred taels of silver, and it's just gone."

"What?! That broken chicken costs two hundred taels of silver. You really have too much money and nowhere to spend it. You are a sinner. I can't give you any silver. From now on, your monthly salary will be halved."

Mrs. Shen was so angry that she cut off his source directly to save him from buying indiscriminately.

Qing'er and Shen Yuqing couldn't help but laugh when they saw their parents bickering. This made them feel like home.

"Mother, if you don't eat, the food will be cold. Amma, I remember I have a dowry. There are many birds flying in the sky in the village, sparrows and the like. If you like it, I will ask the steward of the village to give you some. come over."

Mrs. Shen's anger subsided after hearing Qing'er's words, "Qing'er, don't worry about him. A black-bone chicken costs a few hundred taels of silver. He really thinks the silver is brought by the strong wind."

"Qing'er, it's better not to use it. Amma is always bored. All of my old friends are Sun Nong Yi. I am envious of them, so I raised a chicken and tease it all the time."

Lord Shen once again made a speech that was outrageous. The mother and son who succeeded in irritating both looked at him. Mrs. Shen couldn't bear it for a moment and walked over to twist his ears hard.

"Shen Bangrong! If you have the ability, tell me one more thing!"
