Mrs. Du forced a smile: "Yes, it is that necklace. Mother has a happy event that she has not told you, because she was afraid that if she told you too early, you would be disappointed. She was also afraid that if she told you too late, you would not know how valuable this necklace is and it would be damaged accidentally... So I took your necklace away the day before yesterday, pretending to throw it away, but in fact I was keeping it for you..."

Faner looked at Du in astonishment.

The lady has such a clever tongue!

In just a few words, black turned white.

Not only did it turn white, but it also revealed a motherly heart.

If she hadn't heard the truth with her own ears, she would have almost believed it...

Shen Qing pretended not to know: "Oh, what's the happy event? What does it have to do with this string?"

"This...Mother Zhang, please tell the second young lady the truth." Although it was a happy event, Mrs. Du was obviously unwilling to mention it in person. Instead, she turned her head away subconsciously.

Mother Zhang agreed and stepped forward, telling her in detail the matter of the matchmaker being sent by the general's mansion.

Shen Qingyin shyly asked Du for confirmation: "Mom, is what Madam Zhang said true?"

Mrs. Du nodded, with a smile on her face, but a hint of worry between her brows: "Of course it's true. Is this kind of thing something you can joke about?"

After a pause, he continued, "The general's mansion sent another housekeeper today, saying that Madam Mu will come to propose marriage in person tomorrow... Yin'er, you should pack up well."

Seeing Du Shi say this, Fan Er could no longer hold back her excitement. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "Great, great, this is such a great joy!"

Mrs. Du glared at Fan'er fiercely and scolded her, "Why are you making so much noise? You don't behave like a servant at all. How can you behave like a servant?"

Faner bit her lip and lowered her head.

Mrs. Du was about to scold again when she suddenly heard the voice of an old woman coming from outside the door.

"It is indeed a happy event! This girl is so happy for her master, she is really loyal!"

Hearing his grandmother's voice, Shen Qingyin hurried out to greet her.

"grandmother!"

Old Mrs. Shen walked into the yard with a smile on her face, her plump and round face full of joy.

She held Shen Qingyin's hand: "Yin'er, grandma congratulates you!"

Shen Qingyin helped the old lady into the house and sat down, saying apologetically, "My granddaughter has learned from Miaomiao that you are here, but my father has confined me to my room, so I was unable to greet you in time. I hope that grandma will not blame me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could your grandmother blame you? If you want to blame someone, blame your father. Why would he punish you for no reason? You have always been well-behaved, he knows that!" The old lady looked at Shen Qingyin with a loving face and blamed Shen Zhinian instead.

The grandparents and grandchildren talked affectionately for a few words. The old lady glanced at Mrs. Du beside her and said:

"Grandmother can come to Beijing earlier, all thanks to you. Your mother personally sent someone to pick me up, just so that I, an old woman, can be happy earlier! Oh, grandma is really happy, our Yin'er is really a blessed man... From now on, our Shen family will enjoy the happiness with Yin'er..."

Shen Qingyin smiled slightly, and for the first time, she had a different feeling about her grandmother's words.

In the past, whenever I was wronged, my grandmother would comfort me with kind words.

Every time she listened to her grandmother's words, she would calm down and her resentment towards her mother and Shen Rongyue would quickly dissipate.

But today, it is really impossible to be like usual...

She didn't understand why her grandmother agreed to her mother's request in the beginning and helped her persuade her father to marry Shen Rongyue to the general's mansion. She just wanted to believe that her grandmother was just trying to appease her mother...

I don’t know how my father convinced my grandmother.

But at least, she understood what her mother, Mrs. Du, was thinking.

She already knew what her mother did in private...

How could my mother really be happy for me?

What my grandmother said was obviously a lie.

If she hadn't asked Fan'er and Miaomiao to secretly listen and watch, I'm afraid at this moment, she would still take her grandmother's words as true... and be full of gratitude to her mother...

I never thought that my grandmother would lie so naturally...

Mrs. Du followed the old lady's words and echoed: "That's right, mother is also really happy for Yin'er..."

But there was no happiness on her face. If the old lady hadn't forced her to come, how could she have come...

Shen Qingyin smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma, and thank you, mother."

Mrs. Du chatted with the old lady for a while and then said goodbye and left.

He said that he had to make some arrangements to welcome Madam Mu to his house tomorrow.

The old lady chatted intimately with Shen Qingyin for a long time before she got up and returned to her Shouchun Hall.

Not long after, word came from the front yard that Shen Zhinian had lifted the house arrest on Shen Qingyin.

"Miss, do you want to go for a walk in the garden?" Faner suggested happily.

"Okay." Shen Qing was in a good mood and the weather was good. He had been bored for a few days and really wanted to walk around.

She didn't want to think about those unhappy things anymore.

Whether her mother loves her or not, life must go on.

Once you enter the General's Mansion, everything will get better and better...

The master and servant took Shen Miaomiao out of Fangcao Courtyard and went to the garden on the east side of the backyard.

The Shen family now lives in a villa that belonged to a royal relative of the previous dynasty. It has seven courtyards and a large garden.

After Shen Zhinian received the transfer order, while waiting for the handover with the new official, he also sent people to the capital to buy a house. He happened to see someone selling this house at a very low price, so he bought it.

Of course, the price is low for a reason.

Not only was the house in disrepair, with collapsed buildings and abandoned gardens, but its location was also quite remote.

Although it was renovated after the purchase, due to the tight time schedule, only the house was renovated and the garden has not been taken care of and has remained abandoned to this day.

Fortunately, the large rockery in the garden still retains its original shape, which is quite unique.

"Second sister, Miaomiao wants to play hide and seek."

Looking at the rockery in front of her that was high and low, scattered and dotted with holes, Shen Miaomiao immediately became interested.

Shen Qingyin smiled dotingly: "Okay, second sister will play hide and seek with Miaomiao."

"Then Second Sister, close your eyes, and Miaomiao will hide first."

"Okay." Shen Qingyin agreed and told Faner to accompany Miaomiao and take good care of her.

In this way, the three of them played hide-and-seek in the rockery, with laughter and joy.

It had been a long time since they had had such fun. Before they knew it, it was almost dusk, but Shen Miaomiao still refused to leave.

"Play for a while longer, play for a while longer! It's your turn to hide, second sister!" Shen Miaomiao pouted.

Shen Qingyin reluctantly agreed: "Then let's play it one last time."

After saying that, he asked Miaomiao and Fen'er to close their eyes, and he went to find a hole in the rockery to hide.

But just as she was about to lean into the hole, she suddenly heard a strange sound above her head.

Looking up, I saw a large rock on the rockery above my head, which was about to fall down.

Shen Qingyin screamed and stepped back in panic.

Almost at the same moment, the boulder hit the ground in front of her with a dull sound.

It was a close call, she was almost smashed to pieces...

When she subconsciously looked up again, a vague figure flashed by.
