Oops! I didn't expect to use this to threaten him. Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at his grandfather's hopeful eyes. In the end, he said to Uncle Xiaoya, "Forget it, for the sake of my grandfather and Yuan Yuan, I won't be mad at you. But it's still a bit difficult for me to call you dad now."
"No problem, no problem. You can call me uncle, since I've already considered you my biological son. Whether you call me or not doesn't matter anymore, as long as you're happy. You can even call me big brother, haha..." Seeing Shen Chen finally easing up, Uncle Xiaoya quickly lowered his stance and joked.
It looks like Uncle Xiaoya is really afraid of Shen Chen getting angry again. It's rare that Shen Chen isn't angry, so he must be trying to behave well and hopefully hear Shen Chen call him dad soon.
Seeing this, Old Master Shen also knows it's not good to be too harsh. He quickly nodded and said, "Xiao Chen, as long as you can talk to your dad, grandpa will be relieved."
"Wow, that's great. Grandpa and Dad have made up, and now we can all chat happily together again." Little Ink clapped excitedly. Ever since he figured out that he had memories from a young age, his personality has changed. He used to be obedient and sensible, but now he's mischievous. Well, both types are very likable. I don't mind Little Ink's personality at all.
I playfully tapped Little Ink's nose and said, "You're quite the talker, you little rascal. Look at how lively you are. It's so late, aren't you tired?"
"Mommy, I'm not sleepy. I just had a big group of relatives come over, how could I not be excited?" Little Ink glanced left and right, his eyes forming crescent moons as he smiled.
At this moment, Uncle Xiaoya looked at the ancestral hall and suddenly suggested to everyone, "This is the ancestral hall of our Shen Family, it seems inappropriate to chat here. Let's go to Dad's yard to have tea and chat. Little Ink is so young, he should rest for a while first. What do you think?"
"Okay, Little Night, you might scare the servants if you appear now. It's better for you to stay hidden for now. When we reach my courtyard, you can reveal yourself after shielding the servants," Old Master Shen replied, looking at Uncle Xiaoya with a pensive expression.
Uncle Xiaoya is already dead. You suddenly coming back, and from the Shen Chen ancestral hall no less, could easily scare a few of the Shen Family servants. Shen Lao is truly a thorough thinker as the head of the Shen Family. If it were me, I wouldn't have thought about these things. Well, I've been treating Uncle Xiaoya as if he were still alive."
When we returned to Old Master Shen's courtyard, Little Ink and I were directly arranged to rest by Old Master Shen. I had no objections to this, as I was really tired. I had almost fallen asleep in the car earlier, so I had been wanting to sleep for a while. It was the first time I personally slept while holding Little Ink, and Little Ink also affectionately hugged my big neck. The scene felt so heartwarming.
As for what Shen Chen, Uncle Xiaoya, and Old Master Shen talked about, I have no idea. Anyway, sleeping is more important than anything else. If I want to know, I can just ask Uncle Xiaoya directly from my consciousness. With that thought, I quickly fell asleep. I don't know why, but I slept very soundly. Maybe it's because having my son by my side made me feel at ease.
The next day, I was woken up by Little Ink. Little Ink woke me up to have breakfast. I blushed, thinking that I should have woken up earlier and taken my son to breakfast. It turned out the other way around. Feeling a bit embarrassed, I glanced at my son and quickly nodded in agreement, then got dressed and out of bed in a flash.
Seeing my speedy wake-up, Little Ink followed me and gave me a thumbs-up, saying, "Mommy, you got up much faster this time. Thumbs up to you."
"Thank you for your praise, son. Let's go and have breakfast." I kissed Little Ink and planned to take him to breakfast. But as soon as we walked out of the room, I remembered that we were new to this place and didn't know where to have breakfast. I sighed and realized that I needed to find a servant to ask.
Perhaps to avoid disturbing our rest, there were no servants in the courtyard where Little Ink and I were resting. It wasn't until we reached the entrance of the courtyard that I saw a servant busy with work. I hurried over and politely asked, "Excuse me, where can we have breakfast here?"
I didn't expect that the maid auntie completely ignored me, gave me a mocking look, and continued with her work as if she looked down on me. This left me stunned. What does this mean? Am I really so unwelcome, or is it that Old Master Shen simply doesn't like me at all? Maybe he was nice to me yesterday because he wanted me to find a way to communicate with his son, as I am a medium. Now that I've communicated with his son, I have no more value, and he's just going to kick me out. This person is really practical. I looked down at Little Ink, who seemed completely unconcerned, not taking the previous incident seriously at all. Children really are carefree.
However, I still didn't quite believe it, so I asked another uncle, who also looked down on me. Just as I was getting angry, I saw Shen Ru walking over from a distance, warmly greeting the uncle and aunt, "Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, you both did well in dealing with this kind of pest."
"Yes, yes, Miss, everything is done according to the instructions of Madam and Miss. All the servants in the small courtyard have been withdrawn. Just now, that woman asked us a question, and we followed Miss's orders and didn't answer. We just don't know if Mr. Shen will be angry!" The man and woman who just spoke to me immediately looked flattered when Shen Ru said this, but in the end, they seemed to remember Old Master Shen and looked at Shen Ru with a pleading expression, asking carefully.
"Grandfather, that's not a problem. I will cover for you. Here, this is your reward. It's from my mother, Mrs. Shen, for you. You can go down first." Shen Ru handed two envelopes to the man and woman, and as I just heard Shen Ru's address, this man and woman should be a married couple.
"Thank you, madam and miss. We will definitely be loyal to the young miss and madam in the future." With profuse thanks, the couple walked away.
Looking at everything in front of me, I realized from Shen Ru's words that I had wrongly accused Old Master Shen. All of this was orchestrated by Mrs. Shen and Shen Ru. But I'm not afraid of her. Even though we are in the Shen Family estate, as long as Old Master Shen is on our side, I am not afraid. So I snorted and decided not to look for trouble early in the morning. I bypassed Shen Ru and planned to wander around casually.
However, Shen Ru did not fulfill my wish. She directly blocked me and warned, "Yuan Xiaosan, you better leave on your own, or else don't force my son and me to use force against you."
Glancing at the high and mighty Shen Ru, I coldly snorted again, "Fine, you can take us out. I don't even like the Grand Mansion anyway. I heard that the wealthy families are ruthless places. I can't wait to leave. Do you think I enjoy staying in the Grand Mansion?"
"You said what? You want to leave here, but I don't know if you're speaking sincerely or just playing hard to get. Let me tell you, Grandpa and Brother went out in the middle of the night yesterday. Today, it's just us mother and daughter in charge. If you really mean it, don't blame us for sending you away for real." Shen Ru crossed her arms, clearly not believing what I said.
Seeing this, I understood. So it's true that when the cat's away, the mice will play. No wonder they say little devils are hard to deal with. Just as I was about to respond, before I could say a word, I heard Mrs. Shen say from a distance, "What are you saying, Xiao Ru? Miss Yuan came from afar as a guest, and she's the granddaughter-in-law recognized by your grandfather. How can we just drive her away? If your grandfather finds out, he will blame us, the mother and daughter, for being immature. If we want to let Miss Yuan go, we have to wait for your grandfather to speak for himself."
Mrs. Shen is clearly saying "Shen Ru," which means, "Miss Yuan, let's wait and see how I can frame you and get Mr. Shen to personally kick you out as a member of the Shen Family." Looking at Mrs. Shen's smiling yet sinister face, a saying flashed through my mind: "The most poisonous woman's heart, ginger gets spicier with age."
As if she could read my mind, Shen Ru approached me with a feigned friendly demeanor and said, "Miss Yuan, are you thinking about the most poisonous woman's heart in this world? Yes, this lady is indeed poisonous. So what? Do you have the guts to report me to Mr. Shen? But do you have any evidence? Haha... Anyway, this lady has given birth to a son for the Shen Family. Let's see if Mr. Shen will believe you or me. I bet, Miss Yuan, you better not end up losing what you have while trying to steal something."
"Mrs. Shen You're overthinking it. I'm leaving voluntarily, it has nothing to do with you. I won't sue Mr. Shen. Both of you, just step aside." I calmly analyzed the current situation and decided it was best to temporarily leave the Shen Family. But I'm not afraid of Mrs. Shen. Worst case, I'll use telepathy to inform Uncle Xiaoya and he'll come to my rescue.
"Don't go. This is your first time visiting Shen Family with Little Ink. As the hostess, how can I let you leave without having breakfast? I heard you couldn't find a place to eat breakfast, so let me personally take you there," Mrs. Shen said to me and Little Ink in a strange tone, while at the same time motioning with her hand. I saw the Shen Family bodyguards all rush over and block me.
I took a look at these burly bodyguards and thought of the words "Hongmen Feast." I tried to call Uncle Xiaoya with my mind, but he was unexpectedly out of reach. What happened last night that made these two and a ghost leave in such a hurry and still not come back? This is not good. For now, all I can do is to respond accordingly. However, I know that Mrs. Shen and her daughter dare not kill me, otherwise Old Master Shen will not let them off. Just now, from her tone, it seems that their only purpose is to humiliate me or set a trap to make me fall into it.
