Shen Nian was surrounded by Qinglian and a group of maids and entered the west wing of Jingyuan.

The west wing was only separated from the east wing where Shen Yuan lived by a small corridor. It was much closer than the side courtyard where Shen Nian lived at the beginning.

"Miss, the servants have already packed up the room. Is there anything missing?"

Qinglian respectfully asked Shen Nian for instructions. This young lady was very unusual. If she didn't take action, she would have done something wrong. Once she took action, she not only drove away the two old servants in the mansion, but also moved to a house so close to the master of the house.

Qinglian felt that Shen Nian had changed. She became much calmer and smarter than before, so she had to be very attentive to serve her.

Shen Nian looked around the house. The furnishings inside the house were very Jingyuan-style, fresh and elegant.

There are two rooms, the outer room has a table and tea sets for entertaining guests, while the inner room has a desk next to the window, on which are placed the four treasures of the study.

There is a golden nanmu step-out bed on the sunny side, and a dressing table beside the bed. All the furniture is available.

Shen Nian couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. This was what a young lady from a wealthy family should look like in her boudoir.

There is no comparison between the place I lived before and this place

"Yes, there is nothing missing. You can all go down."

Shen Nian was already a little tired from beating the evil servant and crying out of grievance today.

Qinglian bowed to her and said, "Miss, you haven't eaten yet, I will go to the small kitchen and bring you some food."

Qinglian is indeed the top maid in Jingyuan. She is really careful and considerate.

Seeing Shen Nian nod, Qinglian led the other maids out.

Seeing Qinglian and others leave, Shen Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed.

At this moment, she finally felt the reality that she was still alive and traveling around the world to complete missions.

After simply finishing her first meal in this world, Shen Nian was about to take a rest, but Qinglian told her that Old Madam Shen wanted to see her.

Old Madam Shen is Shen Yuan's mother and the old lady of the Shen family.

The old lady had never liked the original body, and it was she who made the original body live in the remote Beikuayuan.

Why did Old Madam Shen want to see her again today? This made Shen Nian a little unsure of what she wanted to do.

But when the enemy comes, the general will fight, when the water comes, the earth will cover it. Instead of guessing what Old Madam Shen is going to do, it is better to meet this Old Madam Shen.

Anshou Hall, where Old Madam Shen lived, was the largest courtyard in the entire Shen residence. The courtyard was connected by corridors and decorated with rocks. A plaque with the words "Yihong Kuailü" was hung on the five-room porch.

The entire courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with beautifully decorated gardens, a backyard full of roses, treasures, and a pool.

Along the way, there are countless fragrant breezes and beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

The courtyard where Old Madam Shen lived was truly magnificent. Shen Nian was amazed.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a very pretty girl in a lake green dress coming up to him and hugging Shen Nian's arm.

"Sister An Nian, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have been staying with my great aunt recently because of my illness, so I haven't come to see you. But you, sister, have not come to see me for such a long time."

This is the daughter of Old Madam Shen's sister, Miss Lin Rou, who lives in the Shen Mansion.

It is no exaggeration to say that the treatment of the original body and Lin Rou, who were both staying in the Shen Mansion, was as different as heaven and earth.

Lin Rou was sweet-talking and coaxed Old Madam Shen into submission, and she was good at winning people's hearts, so the servants in the Shen Mansion also praised her.

Naturally, she thrived in the Shen family.

Shen Nian smiled softly at her, with a half-true and half-false tone of reproach in her voice, "So it's because of this reason. I thought that my sister was angry with me and didn't want to come to see me."

Shen Nian was born with a peach blossom face, and this smile was like a spring breeze, so beautiful that it made people lose their minds.

Lin Rou tried her best to suppress the jealousy that was about to overflow from her eyes and forced a smile.

"What are you talking about, little sister? How can I bear to be angry with you? Come in quickly. Grandmother will have to wait for a long time."

Shen Nian naturally saw the jealousy in her eyes and found it a little funny. Lin Rou seemed to be affectionate with her, but in fact she was very jealous of her beauty.

When he saw the old lady, Shen Nian bowed respectfully and said, "Shen Nian greets grandma."

The girl's voice is sweet, which makes people feel indescribably comfortable when listening to it. She stands there in a pink skirt and black hair, looking very delicate.

What a real beauty, the young ladies of the Shen family thought to themselves

Old Madam Shen, who was sitting in the main seat, was about fifty years old. Her hair, which was slightly white, was combed meticulously. Her eyes were full of wisdom accumulated over the years.

"Nian girl is here, please sit down." His tone was gentle, like an elder to a younger person.

Shen Nian was supported by a maid and sat on an embroidered cushion. Sitting next to her were the concubines of the Shen family.

Lin Rou sat at the table opposite her, and next to her sat the legitimate daughters of the Shen family.

The seating arrangement is quite interesting. One table for legitimate daughters and one for illegitimate daughters. Arranging her to sit at the illegitimate table is clearly a warning to her.

"Recently, Grandmother received a few pieces of Shu brocade as a reward from the palace. The quality is very good. I asked you to come here today so that you can pick some and make a new set of clothes for each of you."

Old Madam Shen smiled and explained to everyone the reason why she called them over today.

They were all girls in their teens, who were at the age of loving beauty, and they were very excited to hear that they had new clothes to wear.

Old Madam Shen signaled with her eyes to Nanny Gu who was serving beside her, and Nanny Gu understood and stood up and left.

After a while, Madam Gu and her maids came slowly over with Shu brocade in their hands.

These pieces of Shu brocade are bright and shiny, with floating green and red, exquisite patterns, and are beautiful beyond words.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Shen Ying, the second daughter of the Shen family, couldn't help but exclaim.

Even though the young ladies of the Shen family had seen many fine things, they were still dazzled by the exquisiteness and magnificence of the Shu brocade before them.

"This Shu brocade is really exquisite. It will definitely look very beautiful if it is used to make a dress." Shen Ran, the third daughter of the Shen family, never took her eyes off the Shu brocade.

"Okay, Madam Gu, don't keep us in suspense. Let the maids choose according to their rank." Old Madam Shen said with a smile

"The old lady is right. Then please let the eldest and second young ladies choose first." Madam Gu asked the little maid to bring the Shu brocade to the eldest and second young ladies Shen and let them choose first.

Miss Shen and Miss Shen No. 2 bowed to Old Madam Shen at the top and said, "Thank you, Grandma, for your love."

They started to choose. Miss Shen liked dark colors so she picked a dark green Shu brocade, while Miss Shen II liked light colors so she picked a pink Shu brocade.

The young ladies of the Shen family had all chosen their Shu brocade according to their rank, except for Shen Nian and Lin Rou, who had not yet made their choice.

Old Madam Shen smiled kindly and said, "Miss Nian and Miss Rou, please come and choose."

Shen Nian and Lin Rou also stood up to thank the old lady. After the selection by the young ladies of the Shen family, there were only a few pieces of Shu brocade left on the tray.

The rest are all darker and more subdued colors, and girls of their age cannot handle such heavy colors.

This old lady Shen is really interesting. On the surface, she asked the girls to come and select Shu brocade, but in fact, most of the Shu brocade she prepared was dark in color, which is difficult for girls of 16 or 17 years old to handle.

After the girls from each branch of the Shen family had picked out the light colors, only these dark and difficult-to-control colors were left.

There was only one piece of light yellow Shu brocade left on the tray of light-colored Shu brocade. As luck would have it, Shen Nian and Lin Rou both chose this piece.

"My dear sister, please give this last piece of yellow Shu brocade to me. I happen to have a headpiece of the same color that matches it."

Lin Rou's voice contained a hint of pleading. Her almond-shaped eyes stared at Shen Nian, which was different from the pleading in her tone. Her eyes were full of provocation.

So that's how it is. Today, we went to so much trouble to gather everyone here to share the Shu brocade just for this moment.

In order to embarrass Shen Nian at this moment, and to make her lose her composure in a fight with Lin Rou for a mere piece of Shu brocade, she would then call Shen Yuan over to witness it all.

So that she can go back to where she came from. Shen Yuan's decision is always difficult to change.

Old Madam Shen was dissatisfied with the fact that she lived too close to Shen Yuan, but was afraid that speaking directly would damage the relationship between mother and son.

So they simply teamed up with Lin Rou to put on such a show, so that Shen Yuan would think that she was too competitive and willful.

It's really hard for them to go through so much trouble to frame her.

Then Shen Nian would naturally have to respond to them well.
