The Wenhao system helped me become a killer

The expected goal was achieved smoothly. When she returned, Grandma Shen was in a very good mood and her face was full of smiles.

This time Shen Wenjiao learned her lesson and obediently let Wang Ma carry her away.

Just one more turn away from the corridor and they would be back to their courtyard, when suddenly, a young woman dressed in brightly coloured clothes and a maid stopped them.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Where did grandma go to hang out? You haven't heard the news yet! Otherwise, how could she have the leisure to do that?"

This woman, with her eyebrows and lips painted, looked delicate, but she had a vitality that a woman like Grandma Shen didn't have. Ahem, it could also be understood as being fierce.

Shen Wenjiao particularly noticed that this woman did not have bound feet. No wonder she walked so quickly and stopped them in a few steps. But she didn't know who this person was.

Grandma Shen had never seen this person before. It was not polite for the other party to stop her from talking so blatantly. In the past, Grandma Shen would have sprayed back. But now, after living these years, she has long known the meaning of keeping a low profile. Except for the face of the Grandma Shen in front of some servants, she still had some confidence. Grandma Shen was very restrained. She had her own way of survival.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" Grandma Shen looked at the other person's outfit. Her head and hands were all glittering with gold ornaments, and her clothes looked like they were made of very good material. Unfortunately, although the other person's face was made up, it was not as fair and delicate as that of a normal boudoir girl. Her hands were rough, and her feet were...

Grandma Shen couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief to cover the contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth. With such big feet, it was obvious that she was not from a wealthy family. She also didn't know which brother had taken her in as a new concubine on a whim.

"Heh, I'm just kindly reminding Grandma that the master has returned from studying abroad. He has to come home after settling down in Peking. Don't let him be kept in the dark and used as a decoration. Now that I've told you this news, we're even now."

The other party seemed to have stopped them just to say this, and left impatiently after saying it. But before leaving, he touched Shen Wenjiao's fair and tender little face and whispered, "Good boy, she does look a bit like my little sister."

After saying this, the other party walked away.

Only Grandma Shen, who was standing there in a daze after hearing what the other party said, and Shen Wenjiao, who was a little dumbfounded as she touched the bracelet that the other party had secretly stuffed into her hand, were left.

Shen Wenjiao touched her small round face that was suddenly attacked by the other party with one hand, and observed the expression of Wang Ma who was holding her. Seeing that the other party did not notice the other party's little action just now, she also quickly transferred the bracelet into the space.

Shen Wenjiao has been living under the eyes of adults all the time, but she has no property at all. She still doesn't know whether copper coins or dollars are used in this era! This is a rare foreign fortune, but who is the other party? Why is he so kind to give her a bracelet? Even if it is a silver bracelet, it should be worth a lot of money!

Soon, Shen Wenjiao learned the other party's identity from Lu Ma.

"Grandma, I think the girl looks familiar. I thought she might be from Aunt Li's family. This girl has changed so much that I'm not sure." Aunt Lu said in an uncertain tone while supporting Grandma Shen.

She had only come into contact with Li Ma a few times when she was delivering things to Jiao Jie'er. One time, a girl from Li Ma's family was delivering something to Li Ma, and she happened to run into them.

It was just a brief encounter, and if the other person's smile hadn't been so bright and heart-warming, Lu Ma wouldn't have remembered it.

Grandma Shen raised her hand to stop Lu Ma from saying the next thing, "Let's go back first. This is not a place to talk. If the old lady knew that we have too much contact with them, she might stop paying Jiao Jie'er and me the monthly allowance! Let's talk about it after we go back~"

As soon as she heard Li Ma, Shen Wenjiao pricked up her ears. Oh, she knew this! Li Ma's daughter became her grandfather's new concubine. Wow, it was really a case of one tree overshadowing another. Her mother had kindly given Li Ma a few words. Could it be that this was a blessing, and the other party had quietly informed her.

Shen Wenjiao was anxious, but Grandma Shen didn't want to say anything more outside the yard.

After returning to the courtyard, Grandma Shen first washed her hands and face with the help of Shuang'er, and even Shen Wenjiao was cleaned up. She took Shen Wenjiao to sit in the house, leaving Lu Ma to serve, and asked Wang Ma to take Shuang'er to the big kitchen to get food.

Shen Wenjiao's eyes flashed. She knew the answer to this question! It was seen in various palace fighting dramas. Wang Ma was definitely not her mother's confidant, so she was sent out.

"You are just a little kid, why are you looking around? Have a good rest! Tomorrow morning I will ask Aunt Wang to send you to my third brother's wife to learn how to read."

Seeing her own little sister Jiao'er's lovely appearance, Grandma Shen's thoughts became more firm. As long as Jiao'er was there, the Shen family would never really drive her out. As for Master Shen, he probably knew about her plot against him last time, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry that he didn't go home or communicate with his family for several years.

Fortunately, the old lady didn't know that it was because of her that Master Shen had a problem with the family and resented the family's coercion and him. Otherwise, she would have no place in the Shen family at all.

"The first month of the year is the new spring. Sister Bai's room calls out Chunhong. I open my gold-painted cabinet and take out five-colored velvet. I embroider lanterns when I have nothing to do. I measure my skills and respect my lord."

Shen Wenjiao listened to Grandma Shen singing a little song, knowing that she was trying to coax her to sleep and talk to Lu Ma! She immediately closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, ready to eavesdrop, but unfortunately she overestimated her small body, and fell asleep after a while.

"Little girl, your eyes were rolling around just now, and you thought I couldn't see it! You are so young, but you think about a lot." Grandma Shen lovingly touched Shen Wenjiao's rosy little face when she was sleeping.

Mother Lu also looked at this scene with a loving face, and said in a low voice, "Our sister Jiao is really smart. I think our sister Jiao is the most successful among the children of the Shen family."

"Oh, she is just a little girl and she thinks that no one knows! She doesn't want to bind her feet because she is afraid of the pain. Wasn't I the same when I was a child? Forget it, Jiao Jie'er is still young, and it won't be a big deal if she stays at night for one or two years. Don't scare the child because of the foot binding issue~"

Grandma Shen reached her hand into the quilt and touched Shen Wenjiao's chubby little feet. There was a puzzled look on her face, but Aunt Lu, who was sitting beside the bed, didn't notice anything unusual.

"That's right. By the way, Grandma. When the master comes back this time, should we follow him to Beiping? You are the master's legitimate wife, you can't let that foreign 8th Route Army take advantage of the first wife!"
