In the sixty-ninth year of Ming Qi's winter new year, there was a night of heavy snow. Auspicious snow indicated a good harvest and the common people were in a joyous mood as they prayed for a good harvest in the coming year.
However to the General residence in the Ding capital, this was definitely a special year.
The Shen family's Second household lost a Di daughter and the matriarch of the household went crazy. And the First household that had the most power and influence seemed to be in discord with the other two households. It was not as close as in the past and there was an obvious estrangement.
The Huang family that was previously engaged to Shen Qing, because of Shen Qing's matter, it was considered as a complete enmity with the Shen family. Because Shen Xin and wife were not in the Ding capital all year round, they did not vent their anger on him. As for the Wei family that was engaged to Shen Miao, Luo Xue Yan personally came forward and personally confirmed that it was just a misunderstanding. The Wei family was honest and did not make things difficult for her. In addition, Shen Xin also promised to help Wei Daren in court in the future, thus the Wei family was naturally willing to give this face.
Thus to Shen Miao, this new year was rather good. Without Fu Xiu Yi, without Prince Yu, and without Ren Wan Yun and Shen Qing, some things were still changing step by step.
However she was happy but some people were not so happy.
In Rong Jing Tang, Old Shen Furen was sitting on her seat as Shen Yuan Bo crawled around beside her, but she was somewhat impatient. A look of resentment appeared on her shriveled face.
"Eldest Shen now do not place me in her eyes. This year there was not even a little more money in the public residence. The few chests of treasures that were previously bestowed by the Palace were all locked in their own courtyard! What do they want to do? And they still do not place me in their eyes! "
Old Shen Furen got angry when the matter was mentioned. In the past, Shen Xin would send the things bestowed by the Palace to the public residence every year. Because both husband and wife were not in the Ding capital, other than leaving some toys that Shen Miao liked, the rest of the things were useless to them. Old Shen Furen had tasted the sweetness of it and now that there was an unforeseen event between Shen Xin and the Shen family, Shen Xin did not even send any money. In Old Shen Furen's eyes, it was simply disgraceful.
"Old Furen must not be angry. Perhaps after these few days, when Eldest Master's anger has dissipated, the things will be sent over." Zhang Mama who was at the side comforted, "One think that Eldest Master is dissatisfied with the treatment of Fifth Young Lady, thus he is not willing to send the things over."
"How did you treat Fifth Girl?" Old Shen Furen said angrily, "For so many years, I provided for her to eat and drink and raised her up to this age. Eldest Shen is still not satisfied? I think he just doesn't want to recognize me as his mother! An ingrate who can't support his family! And that Luo Xue Yan, now even the Fifth Girl has become so cunning. Who knows if there's someone teaching her behind the scenes! "
Zhang Mama saw that Old Shen Furen was angry and was silent for a moment before saying, "Now Fifth Young Lady has grown up and her thoughts are heavier. However, Fifth Miss had grown up in front of Old Grandma. Fifth Miss had always been obedient to Old Grandma's words. It could be seen that she still respected Old Grandma. It would be better for Old Furen to summon Fifth Young Miss in front of her one day and coax her. Both of them were young girls, so it would be easy to coax them. Fifth Miss is the lifeblood of First Master and First Madam. If we can control Fifth Miss, doesn't it mean that we can control First Master and his family? "
This Zhang Mama was also a scheming person. In fact, Old Shen Furen was after all a prostitute and had endless despicable means, but when it came to being the matriarch of the household, she had the heart but not the ability. For so many years, if it was not for Zhang Mama's guidance, one did not know how big of a joke would have been.
Old Shen Furen sneered, "I still need to coax her? Once I see that girl, I would think of that slut. She had been dead for so many years but still occupied Master's heart. Favoring their First household in everything, and now I still need to please her? I feel disgusted when I see her! "
