The old lady doesn't want the third wife to covet the power of the family, but she wants it.

The next day, Shen Wan left Qinglan Garden after breakfast. However, she did not go to Liushuang Courtyard to greet the old lady, but went to the front yard with her embroidered belt.

First, he went to find his elder brother and gave him the belt. When he saw the belt embroidered by Shen Wan, Shen Du was surprised, "Has it been embroidered so quickly?"

He thought it would take at least two or three days.

Before Shen Wan could say anything, Yin Shuang said first, "Girl, I have been embroidering the belt whenever I have free time in the past two days. I stayed up late last night to finish it. I didn't even bother to pay my respects to the old lady, so I sent it to the prince."

Shen Du was so moved, "Brother is not in a hurry. My sister will tire herself out, and my eldest brother will be heartbroken."

Shen Wan said, "As long as brother likes it."

More than just liking it, Shen Du couldn't put it down.

Shen Wan asked, "Father is in the study?"

Shen Du nodded, and Shen Wan went to the study to find Shen Jing.

In the study, Shen Jing was handling military affairs. Shen Wan walked in. When he saw Shen Wan, Shen Jing put down the official document in his hand and said, "Why are you here at this hour?"

This was the first time that Shen Wan came to see Shen Jing so early.

Shen Wan said, "My daughter has something to tell her father."

Shen Jing asked, "What do you want to tell dad about?"

Shen Wan did not beat around the bush and said directly, "My daughter wants the third aunt to take charge of the embroidery room."

Shen Jing didn't expect that Shen Wan came to him to talk about this. He said, "Did your third aunt ask you to help her open the mouth?"

In Shen Jing's heart, his daughter is pure-minded and will definitely not care about these things without anyone instigating her behind her back.

Shen Wan shook her head, "It was my daughter's own idea. A few days ago, the second aunt copied Buddhist scriptures, so she let the third aunt take care of the house for a few days. Yesterday, the second sister's marriage was confirmed, and the second aunt couldn't wait to take the housekeeping rights away from the third aunt. The third aunt was very unhappy about this, and her grandmother also rewarded her with a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets to appease her. Since her mother passed away, the second aunt has been in charge of the care. The daughter is worried that if the second aunt takes care of her for a long time, her eldest brother will get married. After marrying the elder sister-in-law, the second aunt is not willing to give up her housekeeping rights."

Shen Jing laughed and said, "You are worrying too much. Your eldest brother's marriage has not been decided yet. It is still early to get married. Once we get married, your sister-in-law will naturally take care of the house."

Shen Jing never thought that anyone could take away the housekeeping rights of the eldest son. This was not something that the second wife could do without her.

Shen Wan said, "Have you ever thought about it, father? The stewards in the house are no longer my mother's people. How difficult it will be for my sister-in-law to manage the house in the future. It's a good thing that you and the eldest brother are both in the house. If you and the eldest brother go to the battlefield, those stewards will If something goes wrong if you don't listen to my sister-in-law, my grandmother will definitely take back the housekeeping rights and let the second aunt take charge."

Shen Jing's brows furrowed at this moment.

He said, "Dad, I will listen to you and let your third aunt take charge of the embroidery room from now on."

Fortunately, her father listened and persuaded her, and Shen Wan nodded repeatedly.

At this time Shen Du came in. He was wearing an ivory white brocade robe just now, but he changed into a lake blue brocade robe. The belt around his waist was the belt given by Shen Wan. He looked very handsome. Seeing Shen Jing looking him up and down, Shen Du Du said, "Father, doesn't my brocade robe look good?"

Shen Jing asked, "Have you fallen in love with someone?"

Shen Du, "..."

Shen Wan's words just now reminded Shen Jing that Shen Du is half a year older than King Ling. King Ling is about to marry his daughter. Shen Du's marriage has not been decided yet. His father has been busy with military affairs. What an oversight.

Shen Jing thought that Shen Du dressed up to get to know his crush. He was also young, so he would naturally understand.

As a result, Shen Du shook his head, "Where did I find the person I like?"

Shen Jing said disappointedly, "I don't know what the purpose is of changing into a brocade robe after leaving the mansion?"

Shen Du pointed to his belt and said, "The belt my sister just gave me, the one I just wore didn't fit, so I changed it now."

Seeing Shen Jing looking at the belt, Shen Du said with satisfaction, "My sister's embroidery skills are no worse than my mother's."

It was indeed very good. Then Shen Jing looked at Shen Wan, "Where's daddy's?"

Shen Wan, "..."

Looking at her father's expectant eyes, Shen Wan couldn't bear to say that she was not prepared.

I could only lie, "I couldn't find the dark satin that dad likes in the warehouse, so I embroidered it for my eldest brother first. I will embroider it for dad when I get back. The embroidery is even more beautiful than my eldest brother's."

Shen Jing looked pleased, "She is really a good daughter for daddy."

Shen Wan went out with a lot of guilt.

When the sun shines on his head, a certain man's belt can only be extended further back.

Shen Wan went to the warehouse to get a piece of ink-colored brocade, and then went to Qinghui Courtyard to pay his respects to the old lady. Except that he did not go to pay his respects to the old lady, this was the latest time Shen Wan went to pay his respects to the old lady.

As soon as she entered, Shen Rong said, "Sister, if you come later, you can say good afternoon to grandma."

Really, if it weren't for the desire to drive a wedge between the third and second rooms, Shen Wan would not be willing to give the third room the advantage of being the housekeeper.

Shen Wan felt worried and said calmly, "I went to the outer courtyard to meet my father."

The old lady was serving tea when she heard this and said, "Your father is busy with official duties. Why do you bother him when you have nothing to do?"

Her father rarely entered the inner courtyard and was busy with military affairs. She did not take the initiative to see her father, fearing that she might not be able to see him for five or six days.

She didn't understand before that she listened to the old lady and didn't bother her father. Later, her father "relapsed from an old illness" and died. How much she regretted it. In this life, she just went to see her father when she missed him, and no one could care about her.

Shen Wan opened her eyes and lied, "I went to find my father for my grandmother."

Went for her?

The old lady frowned, "What are you doing to find your father for your grandmother?"

Shen Wan said, "I heard from the maid in the house that my grandmother wanted the third aunt to take charge of the embroidery room and help the second aunt share some of the burden, but it is my father who asked the second aunt to take charge of the middle school. You don't dare to disturb my father for this trivial matter. Please comfort me for this." The third aunt gave her a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets. It just so happened that my father was taking a rest today. I was afraid that my father would have to leave the house for something, so I went directly to find my father without asking for greetings. My father agreed to let the third aunt take charge of the embroidery room. "

The second wife's face instantly fell.

The old lady suddenly became angry, "Which maid chewed the root of her tongue in front of you?"

Shen Wan said "Ah" and said, "Is the maid wrong? Grandma doesn't want Third Aunt to be in charge of the embroidery room?"

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

The father agreed, but if the old lady disagreed, it would definitely chill the third wife's heart.

In front of the third wife, the old lady had to think about it even if she didn't want to.

The old lady clenched her teeth, suppressed the anger that surged into her throat, and said, "Grandma just thinks you shouldn't bother your father for such a trivial matter."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "My father is busy with military affairs and has no worries. I should help him and be filial to my grandmother."

The third wife was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. Although the old lady gave the third wife a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, the third wife was still angry for a long time last night. Unexpectedly, Shen Wan told the Marquis that the embroidery room would be under her control from now on. It was like pie falling from the sky, making her dizzy.

Shen Rong looked at Shen Wan with an unprecedented look of shame. She had to know that her eldest sister was going to help her mother ask for the right to manage the embroidery house. She would definitely not blame her eldest sister for coming too late to ask for help.
