"Since your friend has come over, both of you can chat." Shen Qiu lightly coughed, "I will go out to look for Father to discuss some matters."
Shen Miao complied and after Shen Qiu left, Feng An Ning then whispered, "Why is your Eldest Brother so fierce and fiendish? Just scared me to death."
Fierce and fiendish … Shen Miao was too lazy to explain and said, "Yes, he had always killed people like flax."
Feng An Ning quickly patted her chest and said, "Fortunately I admitted my mistake early and lowered my head. Next time I would not dare to rush in like this."
…
Unknowingly, it was time for the Shen residence's family banquet.
The male and female guests were seated separately and the female guests were in the banquet hall of Rong Jing Tang while the male guests were taken care of by Shen Gui and Shen Wan. Even though Shen Xin did not have much interest in the family banquet, he did not have the leisure to deal with the bootlicking of the officials in the capital so he sat down and drank by himself.
There were not many males that came and they were all civil officials that were on good terms with Shen Gui and Shen Wan and were not on the same side as Shen Xin. Thus when one looked at the bustling table, it seemed that Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were deliberately neglected by others. Shen Qiu was not at all unhappy because of this and it was lively to eat by himself. On the contrary, Shen Yuan actually had some of Shen Gui's shadow. His smooth and slick appearance made Shen Qiu somewhat nauseated.
At the female side of the banquet, the ones who were neglected were naturally Luo Xue Yan and Shen Miao. Since they were Chen Rou Qiu's sisters, naturally they had to support Chen Rou Qiu's face. Even though one could not ridicule Shen Miao in front of Luo Xue Yan, it was possible to be neglected. Thus Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Yue were asked all sorts of questions by the Young Ladies and Furens and even Jing Chu Chu and Shen Dong Ling were given a few words of concern. Only Shen Miao was deliberately ignored by others.
Luo Xue Yan was somewhat angry. If it was the previous Shen Miao, she would also be upset. But now it was different. No matter how lively those Furens and Young Ladies were, Shen Miao would reservedly eat her food and drink her soup. Her every move had a kind of dignified air that made others have an illusion that it was not those people who deliberately neglected her but Shen Miao herself who disdained to talk to these people.
It was as if they were punching soft cotton, and after a few more punches, everyone started to lose interest.
Madam Yi said with a laugh, "Everybody says that Suzhou is a place of spiritual beauty, I did not believe it at first, but now that I have seen this Laofuren's Biao Xiaojie, I feel that these words are not false. Our capital can't raise such a beautiful girl. "
Old Shen Furen had shown a hundred and twenty percent of importance to Jing Chu Chu at the banquet. Even though one did not know the reason, the Furens present were not fools. Since Old Shen Furen wanted to promote Jing Chu Chu, there was no harm in saying it nicely.
Jing Chu Chu was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she lowered her head without saying a word. Old Shen Furen smiled, "Yi Furen's words, this old one will not comply. Yi Young Lady is also very lively and I like it when I look at her."
Yi Pei Lan smiled as she thanked Old Shen Furen for her praise and became even more curious towards Jing Chu Chu as she softly asked Shen Yue, "Old Furen seems to really like your Biao Older Sister."
Shen Yue vaguely agreed but there were some doubts in her heart.
As Shen Dong Ling was sitting at the corner of the banquet, Wan YiNiang did not have the opportunity to attend such an occasion. And she did not have her biological mother's help and did not have Old Shen Furen's promotion, thus she was unknown. Even so, Shen Dong Ling did not reveal a trace of unwillingness and only slowly ate the food in her bowl, exactly like a well-behaved and unfavoured Shu daughter.
Old Shen Furen instructed Jing Chu Chu to eat more and at the same time said good things about Jing Chu Chu to others, making a sensible and intelligent daughter of a humble family appear in the Heavens and Earth.
