Chapter 132 – Birthday (1)

The third day of November, is a sunny good weather, winter is rare to have such a good day, coinciding with the seventieth birthday banquet on the old lady Shen.

The general’s house was cleaned inside and out, the public also took out silver to buy new things. The birthday banquet is naturally organized in the East courtyard, the environment of the East courtyard quiet and elegant, flower bushes pruned patchwork, maidservants wearing fresh and neat 襦skirt, speech and demeanor is not out of the ordinary, each was born of the beautiful and well-behaved. People walk in, only feel worthy of a large family style.

Shen old lady sitting high in the main hall of Rongjing Hall, come and go has come a lot of ladies and young ladies come to greet. Shen family in Mingqi after all is a first-class military family, dignitaries more or less have to look at the favor to come to the point. Ren Wan Yun was also busy greeting guests.

Although Chen Ruoqiu is now temporarily managing the power of the family, but in previous years, Old Lady Shen’s birthday was all handed over to Renanyun to organize. As for dealing with these noble ladies, Ren Wan Yun can also do better than Chen Ruoqiu. Chen Ruo-qiu in the end is a little bit of a scholarly family frame, Renanyun is different, she coped well, a time Rongjing Hall is also laughter.

Shen Yuanbai snuggled up to old lady Shen eating honey lactose, the bottom of the ladies will from time to time complimented him at a young age is so smart, in the future will certainly be a great deal of work. Shen old lady listening to smile, even RenYun also because of these compliments, these days because of ShenQing and cloudy heart also swept away.

But Chen Ruoqiu, see the crowd mouth boasts are Shen Yuanbai and outside the appointment of Shen Yuan, the heart is very uncomfortable. The most fearful thing in the three houses is to talk about the son, everyone knows Chen Ruoqiu married Shen Wan for many years, in addition to a Shen Yue, there has been no son. Shen Wan is not interested in other women, Mrs. Shen wanted to give Shen Wan a few more concubines to spread the leaves, but were rejected by Shen Wan. Therefore, Mrs. Shen was angry with Chen Ruoqiu, and compared to Chen Ruoqiu, Ren Wanyun was obviously more pleasing to Mrs. Shen.

“However, how come I haven’t seen the Shen family’s eldest and fifth girls today?” Mrs. Yi laughed.

Ren Wan Yun was responsible for receiving these ladies, while Shen Yue naturally went to get close to those noble ladies. She took them to have tea and snacks in the garden. But today, she still hadn’t seen Shen Miao and Shen Qing.

When Ren Wan Yun and Old Lady Shen heard this, their faces sank at the same time, and the corner of Chen Ruoqiu’s mouth turned away.

Shen Qing’s body is not yet well, now finally can see people sensibly, but claimed that must be Shen Miao broken into pieces. However, these words can’t be heard by outsiders, these days Ren Wan Yun has been comforting Shen Qing, lest she have light thoughts. As for how it was consoled, Chen Ruoqiu could think of nothing more than promising what kind of miserable end Shen Miao would end up in.

As for Shen Miao, she did not know where to listen to the old lady Shen privately for her to receive the Wei family’s invitation, from that day onwards, she has changed the previous silence, as crazy as the resistance, but also threatened to resist the marriage, and even escape from the marriage. This was heard by Mrs. Shen can not be, Ren Wan Yun and Mrs. Shen thought, now Shen Miao bones of arrogance gradually appeared, she said the resistance to escape the marriage, indeed is possible to do things out. However, now Shen Miao must not have an accident, once she had an accident, and Shen Qing sisters easy to marry things can not.

So from the time Shen Miao threatened to resist marriage, Shen old lady and Ren Wanyun did not do anything, they directly put Shen Miao into the ancestral hall inside. The shrine is in the southwesternmost courtyard of the Shen Mansion and is generally unseen. The guards outside have increased by at least half, and the maids in the west courtyard, including Shen Miao’s four personal maids, have all been identified by Old Madame Shen as having a contract of sale, tightly squeezed in the palm of her hand.
