Chapter 254 Grandmother? 1 Serious Nonsense 8
In Mingde Hall, the old lady was already sitting in the main seat, and Shen Wenting and Shen Youran were sitting on the pear blossom chairs next to her.
"Madam and Miss have arrived." The maid outside reported.
Yao Qingnian came in with Chen, and for a moment the three people at the table were stunned.
Yao Qingnian was wearing a white soft sandal with a skirt of the same color. She wore a light blue embroidered belt to show her slender waist. Two butterfly tassel jade hairpins were inserted diagonally in her hair, making her look lively and pretty.
Shen Youran unconsciously clenched her palms, and a vicious look flashed across her face, but she quickly adjusted her mood. She stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Sister, you look so dressed up that I can hardly recognize you."
"See the old lady."
Old Madam Shen looked at Yao Qingnian. She was not timid in her every move. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly that she was indeed the true blood of her Shen family. Even though she was raised in the countryside, her temperament was very different. She breathed a sigh of relief and had a higher opinion of this granddaughter who had just returned from the countryside.
"Is this Nianran? Come here quickly and let grandma take a good look at you. You have suffered so much. Tell me, how have you been through these years?"
Yao Qingnian stepped forward obediently, pretending to wipe away her non-existent tears: "Grandma, I often dream of an old lady, who is more kind than a bodhisattva. I didn't expect it to be you, grandma. It seems that fate has arranged everything for me. I grew up in the countryside, starving for seven or eight meals in three days, not having enough to eat or warm clothes, and having to get up to work before dawn. When I saw other people have parents and relatives, I often wondered where my parents were. It was not until today that I truly felt the warmth of my relatives."
She made up a bunch of nonsense, saying that life in the countryside was pretty much like this, it couldn't be any better.
Yao Qingnian was talking nonsense in a serious tone, and the old lady and Shen Shi couldn't help shedding tears. They hugged Yao Qingnian and called her their darling. They cried bitterly, and even Shen Wenting was moved and his eyes became red.
Shen Youran had been left out for several times today. Everyone's attention was on Yao Qingnian. She finally couldn't help crying and said, "I didn't expect that my sister had suffered so much over the years. It breaks my heart to hear that. Now that my sister is back, Dad and Mom, you should compensate her well. Let me go! I will return the position of the eldest daughter of the Shen family to my sister."
Yao Qingnian sneered. Why is her sister so teary? Shouldn't others be happy to see her sister come back? There is one more person who loves and cares for her? She didn't even know that this sister was adopted.
When the old lady heard her say that, she immediately felt distressed: "You Ran, how can you say that? You have been raised in the mansion for more than ten years, and you have long been our formal young lady. You are not allowed to talk about leaving again. The two sisters have to take care of each other."
It turns out that she is not a biological child. Yao Qingnian is not going to spoil her: "Where do you want to go, sister? Are you going home to find your parents?"
After these words came out, everyone present was stunned. Shen Youran didn't know how to answer for a moment. It was not right to say to leave, and it was not right not to leave. After all, she was just pretending to be pitiful and talking casually. She didn't think about really leaving. Grandmother and father would not really let her go. She was speechless for a moment.
Yao Qingnian smiled secretly. To deal with such a green tea girl, the key is to be sincere.
Seeing this, Shen Wenting said, "Okay, stop talking. Youran is your sister, and you should act like a sister. You just came back, so you can ask her if you don't understand anything."
Shen Youran came to the rescue and continued, "Yes, sister, just tell me if you need anything. I will do my best to solve it."
Yao Qingnian did not refuse and said directly, "Okay, sister. I heard that the young ladies of wealthy families have maids and five or six servants around them, and they also receive monthly wages. Please help me take care of them."
Shen Youran's face turned pale, and she was suddenly in an awkward situation. She was so angry that her face turned green. The maids were all under the charge of the mistress of the mansion. As a young lady in the mansion, it was not her turn to make the decision on the purchase and allocation of personnel. This statement seemed to be beyond her status. If she said that she couldn't do it, it would seem that she was bragging.
Chen didn't say anything, but she looked at her coldly. Although she didn't blame her, Shen Youran felt ashamed and her face turned red with shame.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just want to do my best to take care of my sister and help her integrate into the family." After saying this, he looked aggrieved and pitiful again.
Yao Qingnian, who was watching the fun, added another stab: "Sister, is it that what I asked is too much and you can't do it?"
Chen smiled dotingly and said, "You, this is not too much. They are just maids and servants. Nian'er can have as many as she wants. I will arrange them for you tomorrow."
Shen Youran looked at how caring Chen was towards Yao Qingnian and wished she could tear her to pieces.
"Okay, Youran just said the wrong thing at the moment. Now that you're back, you should act like an older sister. Your mother will naturally arrange these things for you, and you can't be left out. It's getting late, let's go to the dining hall for dinner!" Shen Wenting came out again to speak for Shen Youran.
"Yes! Nianran is back today, and it's a great thing that our family is reunited. I have asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious food. Let's go!" The old lady also agreed, and then she got up with the help of the maid and Shen Wenting and went to the dining hall.
Chen was unhappy, but she didn't make a big deal out of it. Instead, she asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes.
"Nianran, you are too thin, eat more!" Chen filled her bowl with vegetables and could hardly put any more.
Is she thin? She had good food and drink every day in Anding County, and she gained a lot of weight. She only ate light food during the Chinese New Year, and she also slept in the open air during the journey. But with space in hand, how thin can she be? Maybe there is a kind of thinness that makes your mother always think you are thin. Yao Qingnian was a little amused.
Shen Youran was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't say anything. She was afraid that if she spoke, she would be speechless again by this sharp-tongued bitch.
The dinner went uneventfully.
When she returned to the yard prepared by Chen for her, she found all the necessary items there. It seemed that Chen knew her daughter was coming back and had prepared everything. She was really thoughtful.
Thinking that she still had something to say to Linglong, Yao Qingnian begged Chen to take her to her current courtyard to recuperate. Chen took into consideration that the two of them had grown up together and did not refuse, and asked the nanny beside her to bring Linglong over...
After everyone left, Yao Qingnian asked, "Linglong, I have something to ask you."
