Grandma Shen had long known about the Fifth Aunt's indifferent attitude. She just smiled and responded to the Fifth Aunt, the mistress who was now in charge of the back house.

But Shen Wenjiao, who had already finished her meal, clearly saw her own mother's hand holding the handkerchief under the table, tightly clenched until it turned pale. God knows how much strength she used.

Perhaps the conversation between the two attracted the old lady's interest. The old lady, who usually ignored Shen Wenjiao, suddenly felt like pretending to be a good grandmother who cared about the younger generation.

"Yes! Jiao Jie'er will be six years old this year, and she will probably be a big girl in a few years! You should pay more attention to her. The girls of our Shen family must be more presentable. I heard that Xiao Qi hasn't bound her feet yet~"

Having said this, the old lady paused obviously, and Shen Wenjiao noticed a hint of disgust and hesitation in her eyes.

Grandma Shen's face flashed with panic when she heard this, and she immediately explained with a pale face, "Mother, in my opinion, it is right for girls to bind their feet when they reach a certain age. But before Yanqing left, he specifically told Jiaojie not to bind her feet. The implication is that women in the city don't bind their feet now."

Speaking of which, Grandma Shen herself felt aggrieved! Ever since it was decided that Sister Jiao would not bind her feet in the future, she had heard a lot of rumors in the inner house of the Shen family. If it weren't for the news that the fifth brother's wife was pregnant and gave birth to a child and that the old man was able to have a child at this age, which distracted everyone's attention, if Grandma Shen was squeezed by others, she might have been so cruel that she would not listen to the order of Master Shen and force Shen Wenjiao to bind her feet.

The sky is high and the Yellow Emperor is far away. She had already received most of the money she was supposed to get from the master. The mother and daughter wanted to live a peaceful life in the Shen family, and the attitude of the old lady and the fifth brother's wife was the most important.

Grandma Shen no longer asked them to show more concern and attention, as long as they didn't dislike her.

"Ah? Is this what the eldest brother told you to do?" The old lady didn't doubt that Grandma Shen dared to lie, she just didn't understand it in her heart!

"Forget it. Jiao Jie'er is the boss's biological daughter after all. He can do whatever he wants! What do men think now? Why do they suddenly fall for those vulgar women with big feet?"

The old lady thought of the Seventh Aunt who had just been showing off, and when she looked at Shen Wenjiao's chubby face, she felt even more uncomfortable. Speaking of which, the mother of the Seventh Aunt was Jiao Jie'er's wet nurse at first!

If it weren't for Jiao Jie'er as an excuse, that little vixen wouldn't have gone in and out of the backyard to seduce the men in the family.

A big blame fell from the sky, and it was obvious that Shen Wenjiao was being blamed by the old lady.

Fortunately, the old lady knew that she had no reason to say this, so she didn't say it openly. But since then, she never asked Shen Wenjiao to come to her place to pay respects, and she also didn't give her granddaughter anything. It's conceivable that the old lady didn't like Shen Wenjiao in her heart.

The old lady said this, and Grandma Shen smiled bitterly and couldn't say anything. Isn't her master the same? He would rather live with Xu Bijun, the big-footed girl who is not dignified and virtuous at all, than to see her.

However, the fifth grandmother of the Shen family is now in charge of the family and has just given birth to a son. She is very confident and speaks bluntly.

"Mom, what's the big deal? I think Dad is just used to eating big fish and meat, so let's have some light porridge and side dishes to entertain himself. There are many Seventh Aunts like her in our Shen family! If she hadn't been lucky enough to get pregnant, who knows if she would still be the Seventh Aunt by this time next year!"

You know, Fifth Grandma is also upset at the moment! Didn't she just distract herself by getting pregnant? How could Seventh Aunt be so lucky to get pregnant in such a short time? Speaking of which, Dad is really a fool. There are already so many children in the family, why did he bring out such a young child? Is he here to divide the family property?

Fifth Grandma has always kept a close eye on the Shen family's property. She felt extremely unhappy when she thought that a young boy was going to snatch a large portion of the property from her.

Not to mention that she couldn't do it, ever since the Seventh Aunt became pregnant, she has been acting pitiful and pathetic. What she meant was that she was a maid and had become an aunt, her family was poor and she had no dowry, and her child would always be inferior to those of other young masters in the family.

Old Master Shen is now paying attention to this concubine who is much younger than him, and he is also aware of his own age. He wants to leave something for his youngest son in case of an accident. He has already revealed that he wants to transfer a prosperous shop in the county to the name of the seventh concubine, as long as she gives birth to a son this time.

This kind of thing is like digging into Fifth Grandma's little heart!

The other masters of the Shen family were not necessarily relieved, but due to the attitude of Old Master Shen, they could not argue with a brother who was younger than their son. Now they just hoped that the Seventh Aunt would give birth to a girl.

The old lady glanced around briefly. The young ladies at the next table were eating and chatting and didn't notice this side. The maids and servants were also quite far away.

The old lady looked at Grandma Shen and Grandma Shen’s Fifth Grandma who were sitting at the table, as well as Shen Wenjiao who was trying her best to reduce her presence.

"Hehe, being pregnant is nothing. I just don't know if it's the Shen family's child~" The old lady's voice was low and carried a strange smile, which made Shen Wenjiao, who was listening to their conversation with her ears perked up, shiver unconsciously.

"Mom, what do you mean?" Aunt Wu looked at her mother-in-law with sparkling eyes. What did this mean? Could it be that the old lady was so bold as to do something else?

Grandma Shen knows the old lady much better than Fifth Grandma, who has only been the old lady's mother-in-law for a few years. The old lady of the Shen family is usually not very resourceful and timid, otherwise she would not have allowed the old man of the Shen family to give birth to so many illegitimate children, and raised them all safely to share her son's property.

But even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry!

The old lady had long been dissatisfied with the old man's romantic nature, so it was understandable that she took action out of sheer rage.

This kind of thing was something that Grandma Shen avoided as much as possible. She didn't even have to think too much and just listened to what was said. She was immediately shocked by Seventh Aunt's audacity.

The Seventh Aunt has really done something terrible this time, daring to cheat on the old master.

However, when she thought about this, Grandma Shen was a little happy. When she thought about the expression on Old Master Shen's face when he knew about this, she wanted to laugh out loud three times to express her happiness.

"What can I mean? Look at how old Lao Jiu is now. Your father's concubines have been in and out so many times over the years. Did you hear that one of them is pregnant? That damn girl Honghua is pregnant..."

The old lady gave Fifth Grandma a knowing look. She must not get involved in this matter. If the old man knew that she had given him medicine to kill his offspring, she would probably die of illness.

The old lady said that she hasn’t had enough of her good days!
