After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Mu Beiyan came back from Yuhu County and went to the palace the next day. After that, he secretly left the capital, saying that he was busy with court affairs.

Shen Qingyin didn't know what exactly happened.

But Mu Beiyan made it clear before he left: "I will definitely come back to marry you."

Although Mu Beiyan was not in the capital, Madam Mu came to Bixiyuan every now and then.

Upon learning that Shen Qingyin was going back to the Shen family to celebrate the old lady's birthday, Mrs. Mu felt a little worried.

As far as she knew, the Shen family had invited quite a few guests this time, and she was afraid that there would be too many people and something unexpected might happen.

I wanted to accompany him in person, but after all, the two families have not yet officially married, and the Shen family has not sent an invitation to the general's mansion, so it would be unreasonable to rashly go to his house.

Besides, how proud would Mrs. Mu be if she went to celebrate the old lady’s birthday in person?

After the lady thought about it, in addition to Yun Wei and Yun Chan who usually protected Shen Qingyin, she also called a few maids behind her to come over.

"They are not ordinary maids. They have fought in the battlefield and killed enemies. With them by my side, I can feel more at ease."

Shen Qingyin thanked the old lady and took Shen Miaomiao back to the Shen family to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

The Shen family today is indeed significantly different from before.

In the past, in Yuhu County, Shen Zhinian was just a county magistrate, and the people he interacted with on a daily basis were only ordinary officials, yamen runners, and merchants in the county.

Moreover, Shen Zhinian was cautious and low-key at that time.

But now Shen Zhinian stood in front of the mansion, welcoming guests with a proud and ostentatious look on his face.

Even Mrs. Du had cast aside the awkwardness and timidity she had when she first arrived in Beijing, and was in high spirits as she entertained the female family members in the courtyard.

There was an endless stream of people coming to celebrate the birthday, it could almost be described as a bustling crowd.

Shen Qingyin brought Miaomiao into the main hall.

Many women immediately came over to say hello.

Shen Qingyin smiled and returned the greetings to everyone. He suddenly found that there were several faces among them that he had seen in the Princess's Plum Garden last time...

"Oh, the second young lady of the Shen family is so beautiful that she is rare to see!" someone praised.

"That's right, otherwise why would Madam Mu fall in love with him at first sight!" someone echoed.

"With such beauty, it's obvious that she inherits from Madam Shen..." someone lied with open eyes.

Just as they once praised Qin Jinshu.

I was enjoying the fun when I suddenly heard a dry cough behind me.

Everyone turned around and saw that Shen Rongyue had walked in without them noticing.

Qin Yueze also came in with Shen Rongyue.

Seeing Qin Yueze, everyone in the hall suddenly felt that they had come to the right place.

A prince of a royal family actually accompanied a concubine back to her parents' home to celebrate her birthday. It can be seen that this concubine was highly valued.

A group of people hurriedly stepped forward to greet Qin Yueze.

Seeing Qin Yueze, Shen Qing frowned instinctively.

If he pesters me in public, I'm afraid there will be some trouble.

Shen Qingyin stepped back, but Qin Yueze came forward, supporting Shen Rongyue.

"Hello, second sister." Shen Rongyue called out, and Qin Yueze nodded.

In front of everyone, Shen Qingyin reluctantly returned the greeting: "Sister, brother-in-law."

Fortunately, Qin Yueze said nothing, but followed Shen Rongyue straight to the old lady sitting on the throne.

Everyone's eyes followed the two of them and looked at the old lady.

The old lady was supposed to be the birthday girl today, but everyone in the room seemed to have forgotten about it.

So much so that the old lady, wearing a new red dress with gold edges, sat alone for a long time, and no one spoke to her.

However, the old lady's complexion was obviously not very good to begin with. She had frighteningly dark circles under her eyes, which could not be covered even with powder. I wonder how many nights she had not slept well.

"Grandma, your granddaughter is here to wish you a happy birthday." Shen Rongyue smiled and bowed to the old lady together with Qin Yueze.

The old lady seemed to have just woken up from a dream and smiled stiffly: "Okay, okay."

"Grandma, this is the birthday gift prepared for you by your granddaughter and the prince."

Shen Rongyue signaled Yinxin to bring an exquisite brocade box to the old lady.

Everyone in the hall was immediately attracted by the brocade box.

The things taken out from the palace were indeed extraordinary. The box was not only exquisitely crafted, but also inlaid with more than ten red, green and yellow gems, which was very eye-catching.

Just by looking at the box, you can tell that the things inside must be of great value.

"Grandma, please open it and see if you like it." Shen Rongyue said with a smile.

The old lady looked at the box, moved her fingers, and finally put it back into her sleeve.

There were still traces of scratches on the back of her hands from the past two days. Her sleeves were particularly long today, just enough to cover them. If she stretched them out, they would not be covered...

The old lady turned to the little girl beside her and said, "Yu'er, open it and take a look."

The little girl stepped forward and opened the brocade box, revealing a huge golden longevity peach inside.

It is rare that there is a lifelike crane attached to the longevity peach, and the four words "Live as Long as the Southern Mountains" next to it are particularly shining.

There are two green gems inlaid on the two leaves of the longevity peach.

Shen Qingyin sighed inwardly: This is really a fancy birthday peach...

"Wow, tsk tsk, I've seen many longevity peaches, but this is the first time I've seen something so unique and creative." Someone immediately took the lead in praising it.

"It's obvious that the prince and Miss Shen put their heart into it. Their filial piety is truly commendable!"

"Rare, rare! Good meaning, good omen, the old lady will definitely live a long life..."

Listening to the praises around her and looking at the sparkling golden longevity peaches in front of her, the old lady was obviously very happy.

The original dejected look on his face gradually faded away, and joy appeared on his face.

This huge pile of gold could just make up for what she lost at the doctor's...

"Second sister, what birthday gift have you prepared for grandmother?" Amid the noise, Shen Rongyue suddenly asked Shen Qingyin.

Shen Qingyin smiled and pulled Miaomiao forward.

As soon as the old lady saw the two of them, she immediately felt an itch somewhere on her body...

"Grandma, of course I can't compare to my elder sister and brother-in-law in wealth and status. But I have also prepared a birthday gift for you." Shen Qingyin said, and asked Fan'er to hand over the brocade box she had prepared.

This box looks ordinary and is much smaller than Shen Rongyue's brocade box.

"Hey, what wonderful treasure has my second sister prepared?" Shen Rongyue had a look of anticipation on her face.

Shen Qingyin smiled and said, "Fen'er, open it!"

Fan'er opened the brocade box, revealing a green object inside. It was so small that it was hard to see clearly, and everyone couldn't help but stretch their necks to take a look.

Shen Qingyin walked over, took out the things and presented them to the old lady.

"It's a jade plate! It's a jade plate!" Someone saw it out.

"That's right, it's a jade plaque of Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Someone saw it more clearly.

"Grandma, this was originally a reward from the Emperor and a gift from Madam Mu. I know that you have always believed in Bodhisattva, so I present this to you as a birthday gift. Please accept it!" Shen Qingyin said to Grandma Shen with a smile.

"So it's a gift from the Emperor! No wonder it's so crystal clear."

"This is really a rare piece of fine jade. The Guanyin on it has a compassionate face and is lifelike. If the old lady wears it every day, she will surely live a safe and long life."
