Chapter 295: Intimidation (1)

Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

Ever since that day when Jing Chuchu and Jing Guansheng came to the Shen family, there had been an extremely subtle atmosphere in the Shen family. Everyone knew that Old Madam Shen was selfish and stingy. To her grandnephew and grandniece, who she had not seen for many years, not only did she not show any coldness, but she also treated them very generously.

However, the two of them seemed to be planning to stay in the mansion for a long time and had no intention of leaving. Because Old Madam Shen was polite to them, the servants were also very polite to them.

In a side room of Rosy Cloud Garden in the east courtyard of the Shen family, Concubine Wan was sitting at the table and embroidering. The colorful fabrics slowly came into shape as she said to Shen Dongling, who was sitting behind the screen and practicing calligraphy, Has Old Madam changed? She treats her grandniece and grandnephew even better than you.

Old Madam is up to something we don't know. Shen Dongling sat behind the screen, looking much better than before. At least, she was not as pale as before. Now that Shen Gui often came to visit Concubine Wan, he also started to take this illegitimate daughter of his seriously and asked someone to send a lot of herbs to help her nourish her body. Shen Gui's attitude immediately made the servants of Rosy Cloud Garden realize that the tide had changed. However, some servants were still observing. Although Ren Wanyun had gone crazy, Shen Yuan was still the young master of the legitimate wife. No matter how favored Concubine Wan was again, Shen Dongling was, after all, just a daughter.

Dongling, do you also think there is something fishy going on? Concubine Wan stopped what she was doing. But why exactly is Old Madam trying to please these two?

Shen Dongling smiled. They are both young and good-looking, Old Madam naturally wants to use them to seduce people.

Concubine Wan suddenly enlightened and looked at Shen Dongling. But seduce who exactly?

Shen Dongling carefully made a neat stroke as she said, Of course, people who Old Madam hates the most.

Just as Shen Dongling had said, in the west courtyard, Shen Qiu and Shen Xin finished practicing once and asked their subordinates to continue practicing. Just as they were about to rest for a while, they saw a girl in yellow walking over from the end of the corridor.

This girl was beautiful, delicate, and timid, holding a bamboo basket. She walked to the side, lowered her head, and called out timidly, Cousin, Uncle.

It was Jing Chuchu.

Luo Xueyan was instructing the soldiers on the other side. Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were a little surprised to see her. Shen Qiu took a step forward and said, Cousin sister, what are you doing here?

He was not used to calling her cousin sister. After all, he had never seen Jing Chuchu. It was a weird feeling for him to suddenly have a cousin thrust upon him.

Jing Chuchu smiled shyly and placed the bamboo basket on the stone stool at the side. She said in a low voice, I made some snacks myself. I thought that cousins would probably be tired from practicing swordsmanship here, so I made some. I hope you won't mind. As she spoke, she lowered her head and opened the lid. As soon as she opened it, she brought out a few plates of snacks. The snacks were exquisite and cute, and they smelled sweet. Before Shen Xin could say anything, Shen Qiu, the foodie, swallowed his saliva.

Shen Xin had a good impression of her. Jing Chuchu was born timid and weak, but she looked sincere. However, no matter what, girls who were good at making snacks would be liked wherever they went, especially since this girl was good-looking. Luo Xueyan was a general, so she did not know how to make these exquisite snacks at all.
