The Wenhao system helped me become a killer
Chapter 17 Datong 17
Mr. Shen looked up at Grandma Shen whom he hadn't seen for a long time, without saying a word, as if this was not his formally married wife, but just a stranger he was not familiar with. He quickly glanced at the little girl held in Lu Ma's arms.
The speed was so fast that Shen Wenjiao, the person involved, was not sure whether the other party had actually taken a look at it.
Grandma Shen is not blind, so how could she not know that everyone present did not welcome them? But on what basis? It was she who was the matchmaker and the betrothal presenter of the Shen family who welcomed them in through the main gate.
Grandma Shen held her breath in her heart, but a polite smile appeared on her face. "Mom, what you said is right. As your daughter-in-law, I have never missed visiting you every morning and evening over the years, and you have helped to take care of Jiao Jie for a while! The weather is good today, so I just happened to bring Jiao Jie to see you~"
Grandma Shen took out the handkerchief she carried with her and naturally covered the sneer on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Master Shen who was sitting there calmly and hadn't spoken a word.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect you to come back. Oh, why didn't you inform your family this time? I have to clean up your room for you!"
Even the four-year-old Shen Wenjiao in the room didn't believe what Grandma Shen said. The old lady also knew that the news must have been leaked from somewhere, so she asked Grandma Shen to keep an eye on the main courtyard. As soon as she heard the noise, she brought the child over.
The old lady sat there looking at Grandma Shen who was dressed plainly, and contrasted her appearance with Xu Bijun who was sitting there in bright clothes. She opened her mouth but finally took back the words she wanted to scold.
In fact, the old lady still had some complaints about a girl like Xu Bijun who was too outstanding and didn't have bound feet. But she gave birth to two grandchildren for her, so for the sake of her grandchildren, she could only turn a blind eye.
Although the old lady was not happy that Grandma Shen was unable to keep a man and gave birth to a girl after more than ten years, she was still a little upset. But to an outsider like Xu Bijun, Grandma Shen still had a little status in the old lady's heart. People are not plants and trees, so they are not heartless. Even if they raise a dog for more than ten years, they still miss it in their hearts!
Moreover, Mr. Shen has been studying abroad for many years, and in order to gain a foothold in the Shen family, Grandma Shen has been very diligent in serving the old lady. It was only in recent years that the old lady looked at her youngest son's family and was close to her youngest daughter-in-law, and Grandma Shen consciously gave in and started to come less often.
No one knew what Mr. Shen was thinking. He just kept his head down and looked at the teacup in his hand without saying a word. He also turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Shen's words that were clearly pointing out to him.
Everyone in the room followed Grandma Shen's gaze and looked over there. Master Shen was still calm and composed, as if the tense and awkward atmosphere in the room had nothing to do with him.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If Mr. Shen wants to get away with it, it depends on whether Mrs. Shen agrees.
"Alas, Master, you haven't been back for a long time, and our courtyard has also changed. I wonder if you know where it is! By the way, and this aunt, it seems that you didn't even offer me tea when you entered the Shen family~"
"The one who is engaged is the wife and the one who escapes is the concubine. Master, don't you think this is the truth?"
Grandma Shen said this with a clear conscience. No matter how proud Xu Bijun was outside, Master Shen did not make his parents and family members clear from the beginning. It sounded good to say that it was a free love. But in the end, there were no rules.
How could Xu Bijun, who was so proud and thought she was a new-age woman, swallow the humiliation of being demoted to a lowly concubine by just one sentence from Grandma Shen?
Xu Bijun's family has become wealthy in recent years, otherwise she wouldn't have big feet. After all, her family didn't have the conditions to bind her feet when she was young. If things had continued like this, even if she went to a girls' school after her family became better off, she would still be worried.
But the world changes so fast. The president issued a notice to ban foot binding. Such a formal official notice changed Xu Bijun's situation in an instant. Coupled with the vigorous natural foot movement, she naturally joined it, gained fame and met Master Shen.
"Haha, big sister, what you said is not right. My master and I got our marriage certificate in Peking. Do you know what a marriage certificate is? It is a document issued by the government to prove the relationship between husband and wife. Do you have one?"
Having said that, Xu Bijun curved her bright red lips and looked with a half-smile at the pair of three-inch golden lotus feet under Grandma Shen's skirt, which she once envied but now despised.
"Besides, the master is now in Peking advocating a ban on foot binding. If outsiders knew that the master had a wife with bound feet, it would be a joke."
"Master, are you right?"
Xu Bijun is indeed a woman who can control Master Shen and give birth to two sons for him. She knows Master Shen's mind very well.
Mr. Shen has been dreaming of a career in government for so many years. He is a scholar and teaches at a university, but he still wants to be an official in the government. Of course, he follows what his superiors advocate. Otherwise, he would not have returned home a few years ago to divorce Mrs. Shen.
Don’t talk about big feet or small feet, as long as it is beneficial to him, Master Shen can accept it.
"Sister Yaya, you take ~" It was obvious that Master Shen didn't remember the name of his daughter, Shen Wenjiao. He paused and thought for a while before continuing, "It must be Sister Jiao, right? You take Sister Jiao back first, and it's better for you to come out less in the future."
Grandma Shen was three years older than Master Shen, and when he married her, he was thinking that a woman three years older than Master Shen would bring him wealth. Grandma Shen hadn't heard the name "Sister Yaya" for several years, and she was a little dazed for a moment.
She and Master Shen used to have a deep love for each other, but as Master Shen spent more and more time away from home studying, they had less and less to talk about. No one knew when "Sister Yaya" turned into "Ms. Feng".
After realizing what Master Shen meant by these words, Grandma Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that her once proud three-inch golden lotus feet had now become a stain on the Master.
"Master, you can't just ignore us mother and son forever! Jiao Jie'er has never seen her father at this age! Are you so cruel~"
Grandma Shen knew that if she really took Jiao Jie'er back with her, there would be no future for them. Master Shen would definitely just ignore them, and the old lady wouldn't interfere. A daughter-in-law is not as close as a son, and a grandson is much more important than a worthless granddaughter.
