Chapter 20 Mother and Daughter

After Nanny Gui left, Shen Qing walked out from behind the screen.

She walked up to Ren Wanyun’s side and leaned against her mother. She could not hide the anger in her voice. “Mother, Shen Miao is unwilling to give up on the Duke of Ding. What should I do?”

Among the three branches of the Shen family, the First branch was undoubtedly the most powerful. If Shen Miao begged Shen Xin to marry her to the Duke of Ding, it was very likely to happen. However, she also liked the Duke of Ding. If Shen Miao married him, what would she be?

The Duke of Ding was such a handsome person. How could he be taken by a stupid and ignorant person like Shen Miao? Every time she thought of this, Shen Qing felt extremely indignant.

“Don’t worry, no one in the Shen family can compete with you.” Ren Wanyun said, “Shen Miao is stupid and there’s nothing to be afraid of. I naturally have a way to make her unable to marry the Duke of Ding. As for you…” She sighed.” Why don’t you take the people of the Autumn Water Garden more seriously? Do you really think your second sister is a good person?”

“Shen Yue?” Shen Qing frowned. “She’s also in love with the Duke of Ding? How is that possible?” Shen Qing said, “Besides, if she really likes the Duke of Ding, she is in no way qualified to be his wife.”

“You.” Ren Wanyun tapped Shen Qing’s forehead reproachfully. “How can I rest assured? Your third aunt is very wily. Back then, she and your third uncle…” As if realizing that she shouldn’t say this in front of the child, Ren Wanyun suddenly stopped. She only said,” Anyway, Shen Miao, don’t take her to heart. I naturally have a way to deal with her. “

“Thank you, Mother,” Shen Qing said sweetly. The mother and daughter smiled.

In the Autumn Water Garden, Chen Ruoqiu was sitting at the table and writing.

She was a girl from a scholarly family and was extremely talented. Even though she was already a wife, she still read a lot. Shen Yue stood behind her, wearing a yellow satin dress. Her figure was slender, looking like a little girl.

“Mother, why did you say that to Nanny Gui just now?” After a long time, she couldn’t help but ask.

Nanny Gui had been here once, but to everyone’s surprise, not only did Chen Ruoqiu not ask Nanny Gui to stop Shen Miao from marrying the Duke of Ding, but she also asked Nanny Gui to persuade Shen Miao that the Duke of Ding was a good husband.

“Isn’t this equivalent to helping her marry the Duke of Ding?” Shen Yue complained.

Chen Ruoqiu put down the book in her hand and sighed softly. She held Shen Yue’s hand and sat down on the couch. She said gently, “Yue, didn’t I tell you that no matter what you do, especially in this house, you have to do it in a roundabout way? This way, if anything happens in the future, no one will point a finger at you.”

Shen Yue shook her head. “Mother, I don’t understand.”

Chen Ruoqiu smiled. Her daughter was gentle and talented, and she was not stupid. In the end, she was still too young. It was probably because Third Master Shen doted on her too much that she did not know the dangers in the house. Unlike when she was in the Minister’s Mansion, where there were a bunch of sisters, aunts, and concubines, none of them were easy to deal with. Therefore, after she got married, she had always tried her best to make Third Master love her.

However, it was a pity that she could not give birth to a son in the end.

Therefore, she had to educate her daughter well.
