Chapter 97
When they returned to Shen's residence, it was already almost noon.

The grandmother led the two daughters-in-law to stand at the door to welcome the returning family.

"Zhang'er, Yan'er, Ayan, Ashi, Sisi, you guys are back. It's been so long, and you're finally home."

The grandmother held the hands of the two grandchildren, then hugged Shen Qinglan into her arms, looked at Shen Zhang and asked, "How is the disaster relief? Is it over? Didn't anything go wrong?"

"Everything is safe, mother, let's talk about it after entering the hospital." The uncle said.

"Okay, okay, you are all tired too, hurry up, I have arranged a table, let's all go to Shoukangyuan for dinner."

The family walked to Shoukang Courtyard. Shen Qinglan took her grandmother's hand and asked, "Grandma, what delicious food did you prepare for us?"

The grandmother looked at her and said distressedly: "My Sisi has lost weight again, the priest must be very tired."

"I wasn't so tired at first, but my second elder brother insisted on fasting. The hungry grandson's stomach is deflated, and there is no oil at all." Shen Qinglan acted like a baby against her grandmother.

"Oh, is that right? But as a sacrificial daughter, you should fast, and now it's fine. When you get home, grandma will prepare delicious food for you every day." Grandma said dotingly.

Shen Qingshi smiled, "Sisi, the little greedy cat, finally relieved her greed this time."

In Shoukang Courtyard, the table had already been set up, and Shen Qinglan was very surprised to see Shen Qingzhi serving tea and water on the table.

The grandmother pulled Shen Qinglan to sit down, "Sisi, you don't know, Mr. Meng passed away."

Shen Qinglan chuckled, "This grandson already knows about it, it's just that Mr. Meng hasn't passed the end of the seventh year, so why did sister Qingzhi go home?"

Shen Qingzhi bowed to the elders, and said with tears in her eyes: "Although the last seven days of my family's officials have not yet passed, father-in-law was afraid that I would be too sad, so he let me go home to recuperate for a few days."

"Sister Qing Zhi, although Prefect Meng is considerate, you must not disobey the rules, otherwise the Meng family will think that our family has no manners. Even if you come, we can't keep you for too long, and outsiders will return gossip." Shen Qinglan said.

"What are you talking about! Zhi'er is your younger sister. Don't you know how much you love her when she loses her husband? Your grandmother and uncle are both here, and it's not your turn to be the master of the Shen family!"

As Shen Yan said, he helped Shen Qingzhi up.

"If elder sister thinks that younger sister is an eyesore, then younger sister should just leave..."

Shen Qingzhi was about to turn her head when she said that, Shen Yan quickly supported her, and comforted her: "Why does your sister think you are an eyesore? Good Zhi'er, don't think about it!"

Shen Yan took Shen Qingzhi to his seat, and sat next to Shen Qinglan.

"Sister, my sister won't cause you any trouble. Just take me in... Poor, pitiful, I was a widow at a young age... Zhi'er doesn't have such a good life as her sister. If she can be born in the wife's womb, you will Just treat me as a little girl, just take care of my family..."

Shen Qingzhi was crying, and Shen Yan also followed suit.

"No matter what, Zhi'er is a member of our Shen family. Now that Mr. Meng has passed away, she will remarry in the future. She can't stay in the eunuch's mansion for the rest of her life waiting to die."

Shen Qinglan snorted coldly, and his uncle Shen Zhang coughed lightly and said: "Sisi is right, even if Zhi'er wants to remarry in the future, she can't just stay at home at this time, after all, Mr. Meng's Wei Qi has not yet come. However, it’s also against the rules.”

"Brother, Zhi'er is your own niece, my brother's own daughter, how can I bear it!" Shen Yan said with a sigh, and said: "No matter what others say or what the Meng family thinks, Zhi'er If you want to live at home, you can live at home, and in three years, we, Zhi'er, will still be able to marry a good husband."

It's hard for the eldest aunt to say anything, and it's inconvenient for the mother to speak, but it can be seen that the mother is already a little angry.

"Madam is still pregnant, I can take care of Madam, I can do anything! Grandma, please keep Zhi'er..."

Shen Qingzhi begged the grandmother sitting in front of her with red eyes, and her father, Shen Yan, also said: "Mother, Zhier is right, now Yinghui is pregnant, and she needs a caring daughter to take care of her."

Before grandma could speak, Shen Qinglan couldn't take it anymore.

Shen Qingzhi still wants to take care of her mother?Ah……

"What does father mean to say, is Sisi not caring anymore? My biological daughter is still here, so why does my father want my concubine to take care of my mother? Father, you have been partial for so many years, and I don't care. Now your beloved My daughter is a widow, are you going to put an unfilial hat on my head again?"

Shen Yan apologized and said, "Sisi, that's not what father means. Father just wants one more person to take care of your mother. Wouldn't it be better?"

"No, she, why don't you stay where it's cooler." Shen Qinglan stood up holding the wine glass, "My family also knows that Sisi can't drink too much, and now our family is finally consummated, Sisi drinks first For respect."

"Yeah, let's move your chopsticks to eat, we Sisi must be hungry." Grandma laughed.

Shen Qingzhi held Shen Yan's hand aggrieved, tears kept falling down, she was really pitiful.

Shen Yan felt distressed when he saw it, looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "Sisi, you..."

"Father, what else do you want to say!" Shen Qinglan interrupted him directly, "Father wants to say, I don't know if I love my sister, am I heartless and ruthless?"

Shen Yan snorted coldly, "Zhi'er is your own sister! Why do you just want to go home? Does our Shen family lack her food?"

"I've never seen a concubine who could get along with her brother-in-law before her own sister-in-law got married! I've never seen a concubine who robbed her own brother-in-law and returned shamelessly after her husband died. The family praised my sister-in-law for her good life! I have never seen a sister-in-law who can ask for a dowry from her sister-in-law, and then go home to settle accounts with me and take another 2000 taels from me. Hmph She is really my good sister." Shen Qinglan said angrily.

"Sister..." Shen Qingzhi knelt down to Shen Qinglan, "My sister really knows that I was wrong, and I also know that I am sorry for my sister, so please forgive me..."

As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves again. New and old wounds were superimposed inside, and her white and tender skin was almost covered with bruises.

"Does my sister think that I am really enjoying the blessings by marrying Mr. Meng? Mr. Meng, she... She beats, scolds and tortures me at every turn... My sister finally escaped from birth, and the prefect gave me permission to come back. Sister, I... I just can't take it anymore..."

Shen Qingzhi cried with snot and tears, and Shen Yan's heart ached even more when he saw her injury.

"Zhi'er, get up quickly, it's not her turn to be the master of this family, father is the master, you just stay."

"Father, the daughter of this family can't make the decision, but grandma and uncle are here, so it's not your turn to make the decision! Whether Shen Qingzhi will go or stay, you and I don't care." Shen Qinglan said coldly .
