Border Cook

Secondly, since the young lady returned home, there have been many rumors about her reputation. The master has suppressed many of them openly and secretly to ensure that those unpleasant words have never reached the young lady's ears. If the young lady were to get involved in this muddy water again and get into trouble, I am afraid that there will be even more gossip outside, which will be even more detrimental to the young lady's reputation.

"Then I can't just stay at home and let Grandpa handle everything." Shen Shujun smiled. "Grandpa is getting older and older. I will have to be the mainstay of the family. If I can't even handle this, how can I support the entire Shen family and let Grandpa spend his old age in peace?"

"This..." Xiangmei paused.

What the lady said makes a lot of sense.

If we can't even withstand this little bit of wind and waves, how can we face more storms in the future?
Her young lady is really going to grow into a towering pine tree, standing tall and upright, and she will not be underestimated.

Xiangmei raised her eyes and met Shen Shujun's determined gaze. She immediately felt much stronger in her heart and could not help but nodded, "Yes, Miss is absolutely right."

"Then come with me and take a look."

Go and take a look at what plans Chen and Bai have and what expressions they have at the moment.

Shen Shujun strode with big steps, her feet were full of energy, and she looked very imposing.

Xiangmei called the maid in the room, and also called a few strong old women who did the rough work in the yard. When they arrived at the second gate, she ordered a few smart servants to follow her to ensure the young lady's safety.

The group arrived at the front yard in such a grand manner. At this time, Shen Congxing was in the yard with a gloomy face. When he saw Shen Shujun coming, he immediately put on a smile and asked, "Why are you here, Xiaojun?"

"I heard there was a noise outside, so I came over to take a look." Shen Shujun replied with a smile.

"Who is so talkative?" Shen Congxing's face was immediately filled with dissatisfaction. "I'm afraid someone this talkative is not suitable to serve in front of Xiaojun. He should be sent away as soon as possible!"

It can be said that since Shen Shujun got married and gradually heard that Shen Shujun was not doing well in the Bi family, Shen Congxing's initial anger at Shen Shujun's insistence on getting married turned into regret.

He regretted why he didn't act more decisively and lock his precious granddaughter at home so that she wouldn't have to suffer so much.

So he sent many people to deliver letters, hoping that Xiaojun could return home as soon as possible.

But all the letters sent out were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was never any response.

Shen Congxing thought that Shen Shujun was still devoted to the Bi family. He hated the Shen family so much that he didn't dare to send anyone to see them. He just waited at home every day, hoping that one day Shen Shujun would change her mind and be willing to go home.

Now that his precious granddaughter has finally agreed to come back, he will never let her suffer any harm again, nor will he give the Bi family any chance to seduce their granddaughter!
"Grandfather, please calm down." Shen Shujun advised softly, "If I don't know about this and don't show up, I will be seen by the tribe members as a weak woman who only knows how to complain and hide behind grandfather in everything, enjoying the protection of the tribe for nothing."

"I have to personally step in to resolve this matter, and it will also allow the people in the clan to look up to me. They will know that I, Shen Shujun, am not someone who can't climb out of a pit once I fall into it, and they will be more confident in me."

"When I learn to manage the affairs of the clan in the future, others will not be worried or even oppose me, Grandfather, is that right?"

The truth is this.

but……

His granddaughter has been extremely intelligent and talented since she was a child. Shen Congxing can be said to have high hopes for Shen Shujun. When she was only eleven or twelve years old, he had already hinted to the clan that the entire family property would be inherited by her in the future.

As a result, even though Shen Shujun was extremely talented, she lost her mind when it came to love.

Shen Congxing was a little hesitant to gamble. "Grandfather, trust me just this once." Shen Shujun smiled and grabbed Shen Congxing's sleeve, twisting candy like a coquettish, "Just this once, okay?"

Looking at the smile on Shen Shujun's face, Shen Congxing felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, when Shen Shujun was only six or seven years old.

At that time, Shen Shujun's parents were still alive. Because Shen Shujun had a heavy workload and felt extremely heavy-hearted, they wanted Shen Congxing to take her to skip school for half a day and go to the persimmon forest outside the city to pick persimmons.

At that time, Shen Congxing was quite hesitant, so Shen Shujun pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly to please him. She looked exactly the same as she does now.

"Just this once..."

Shen Shujun spoke softly, and Shen Congxing's heart softened. He reached out and touched Shen Shujun's forehead helplessly, "You, just let it go."

"But let's make a deal. I'll just stay at the door. If anything goes wrong, I'll send someone out immediately. Then everything will be done according to my wishes."

"Yes, I'll listen to grandpa in everything." Shen Shujun responded loudly, and then thought for a moment and asked someone to open the door.

At this time, at the gate of the Shen family, Chen and Bai were being supported by two little maids, kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly and unable to get up.

Because of the huge noise, it attracted many people who came to watch the fun. They pointed at Chen and Bai, and whispered to each other, guessing what had happened to the Shen family.

"I heard that the daughter of the Shen family came home a few days ago."

"Didn't Miss Shen get married a few years ago? I heard that Master Shen didn't approve of Miss Shen's marriage at the beginning, so when Miss Shen got married, she made a harsh statement, saying that she would break off the relationship with Master Shen!"

"If that's the case, then Miss Shen shouldn't want to go home. Why is she back now?"

"Why else? It must be because she can't stay at her husband's house."

"Just now I heard this old lady crying and saying that mother was wrong. If mother was wrong, then could this person be Miss Shen's mother-in-law?"

"Let the mother-in-law come to her parents' door... Did Miss Shen do something shameful?"

"That's hard to say for sure. After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Chen's face flashed a barely perceptible smile, and after a moment she pretended to be angry, turned around and argued with others, "Don't talk nonsense, my daughter-in-law is doing well in her husband's family, she is very filial and sensible, and she has not done anything shameful!"

"This time, my daughter-in-law came home in anger because I, the mother-in-law, did something wrong. It has nothing to do with her..."

This mother-in-law is so tolerant and caring towards her daughter-in-law, so she must be virtuous, tolerant and generous. Then, Miss Shen must be a temperamental and unruly daughter-in-law, right?

Everyone started talking again, which made Chen smile with satisfaction again.

Yes, that's how it has to be. Make Shen Shujun the target of public condemnation, and that will be beneficial to her.

As everyone was discussing, the door of the Shen family creaked open. (End of this chapter)
