"What do I know about?"
A deep, clear, and cheerful voice came from outside the door.
Shen Miaomiao wrung out the handkerchief in her hand; her older brother had arrived just in time.
Looking at her husband Si Jingshen and second Prince following behind, Shen Miaomiao's face immediately blossomed into a bright smile.
"Big brother, I talked to sister-in-law and Mingzhu about the pet cat! Mingzhu spoils that cat way too much!"
"Haha, you mean the cat? It deserves it!"
Shen Changyuan's calm and unwavering words made Shen Miaomiao's heart sink even deeper.
Oh dear, my aunt is furious! My dad really knows how to use minimal force to achieve maximum effect!
[Host, what can you do? Shen Miaomiao is such a fussmaker!]
Seeing her daughter suffer at the hands of Shen Mingzhu, the old lady Wang slammed down her teacup, her tone quite reprimanding.
"Alright, you're so sharp-tongued at such a young age!"
Shen Mingzhu's face darkened, and she smiled at the old lady, Madam Wang.
"Grandmother, I'll take that as a compliment!"
The old lady, Madam Wang, was so angry that she almost knocked over the teacup on the table.
"Was that a compliment?"
Was that a compliment?
That's blatant irony!
Pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth!
"Grandma just praised me for my sharp tongue! Everyone heard it!"
"I knew my grandmother loved me the most!"
"Oh, right, Grandma, I have something even more amazing than my mouth. Do you want to know?"
Old Madam Wang scoffed!
"What do you want to show? Everyone's here now, so hurry up and show it to us."
That's all for the demonstration, now shut up!
Shen Mingzhu watched as Yan Yunxuan, Si Jingshen, who were about to enter behind Shen Changyuan.
Shen Mingzhu sat in the chair for a while, then swaggered to the middle of the hall, walking back and forth as if waiting for something.
Old Madam Wang said, "What are you doing! Stop walking around like that, you're making me dizzy!"
"Grandma, wait a minute! You can't rush things!"
She moved closer to Shen Jiaojiao, You smell stinky !
When she mention stinky, Madam Wang immediately thought of stinky tofu!
Seeing the old lady Wang's blissful expression, Shen Mingzhu immediately took out the imperial gold medal bestowed by Emperor Jingyuan from her bosom as the second prince Yan Yunxuan stepped into the hall.
"Grandmother, the imperial gold medal is here! Everyone kneel down! Isn't Grandmother amazing?"
Upon seeing this, Shen Qingzhan immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects! Long live the Emperor!"
"Mingzhu, you're amazing!"
Upon seeing this, everyone else quickly stood up, knelt down, and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
Second Prince Yan Yunxuan: ...
He had just come in when he immediately kowtowed to Shen Mingzhu.
Was she doing it on purpose?
Shen Jiaojiao stared intently at the gold medal. Emperor Jingyuan was actually being so kind to Shen Mingzhu.
"The imperial gold medal is here, it's as if His Majesty himself is here. Grandmother, am I amazing? His Majesty even came to your birthday celebration!"
Shen Changyuan: ...This works too!
Shen Qinglan covered his mouth and chuckled. His little sister was really infuriating!
Her grandmother and the others are going to be furious with her!
[Hahaha~~~ Guagua, aren't I amazing? With this imperial gold medal in hand, you have to kneel down before me!!!]
[Let them be sarcastic and sarcastic all the time!]
"Grandma, you still haven't told me how amazing I am!"
The implication is that if you don't acknowledge my strength today, I won't speak up and will keep you kneeling.
Shen Qingbo: My little sister is so cool!
The old lady, Madam Wang, clenched her fists tightly in anger, forcing herself to swallow her anger.
His Majesty awarded her a gold medal, you're amazing!
Now is not the time for a head-on confrontation.
"Mingzhu, your grandmother knows how capable you are. Look at you, you are the first female official in the history of our Great Yan. Our Shen family is so proud of you!"
That's more like it.
"Get up, everyone."
Shen Mingzhu, in a show of compassion, told everyone to stand up.
[Guagua, this is awesome!]
[Haha, host, absolutely! With this imperial gold medal, you can walk sideways without a care in the world. Don't worry, no one will dare to stop you!]
[Well, the emperor has finally done something good!]
Shen Changyuan secretly rejoiced, thankfully His Majesty couldn't hear him!
Mother Shen looked at Shen Mingzhu with a doting smile.
Shen Qinghong blinked. "I still have a lot to learn."
One day, I will be just as powerful!
Madam Wang: Heaven is blind, actually allowing this troublemaker to obtain such a token as the imperial gold medal.
They'll be in big trouble in the future!
She glanced at Shen Jiaojiao beside her, then at her son Shen Changyuan and Shen Changshan, and her heart grew increasingly anxious.
Soon the gatekeeper came to report that the elders of the Shen family had arrived!
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's heart sank even further.
"Changyuan, you, you..."
"Mother, please enjoy your birthday in peace. Qinghuan has specially invited the best opera troupe in Shengjing to perform at our mansion. You can go and listen anytime."
She looked at her eldest son with hopeful eyes, hoping he wouldn't go too far!
Shen Changyuan: Mother, i am doing all for everyone's peace of mind! We have to remove her from the family tree.
"What? Remove Jiaojiao from the family tree? Brother, isn't that going too far?"
Shen Changshan disagreed, his face full of disapproval.
"Jiaojiao isn't of the Marquis's bloodline, so this is only natural! Second brother, stop talking!" Next time it'll be you and little sister's turn!!!
Shen Changshan was unaware of his elder brother's thoughts. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have spoken to him so kindly.
"Boss!"
"The old lady slammed her teacup down with a loud bang, clearly very angry."
Shen Mingzhu stepped forward and waved the imperial gold medal in her hand.
"Grandmother?"
"Mingzhu, Jiaojiao is your younger sister!"
"Grandmother, I am the only daughter in the Marquis of Changping's mansion."
She glanced at her feline overlord in my arms.
"Oh right, now there's also Shen Piaoliang, who is also known as the Meow Master!"
Madam Wang: You all want to drive me to my death and send me to the Western Paradise sooner!
Shen Jiaojiao's face was also filled with disbelief.
Twelve years, and this is all she got?
The Second Prince Yan Yunxuan was also somewhat surprised. Hadn't his grandmother invited them to the family's birthday banquet today? How could this be?
He looked at everyone with a displeased expression.
They want to remove his concubine from the Shen family clan, leaving Jiaojiao without a maternal family. How dare they treat her like this? Do they think he's dead?
"Minister Shen, absolutely not!"
Yan Yunxuan looked at Shen Changyuan and stepped forward to stop him.
[Guagua, who does the Second Prince think he is, interfering in the Shen family's affairs?]
[Host, there are always so many clueless people. Don't mind them, just treat it as a little episode.]
The old clan chief, Shen Desheng, stepped forward and bowed in respect.
"Your Highness, this is a family matter of our Shen clan. Please forgive us."
"But Jiaojiao, she..."
"Brother Yunxuan..."
Shen Jiaojiao's tears immediately streamed down her face, making her look pitiful.
"Jiaojiao, you still have me!"
[Ahhh! Guagua, showing off your love will lead to a quick breakup!]
