"I won't tell you about the other detailed transactions. I know how much effort this child has put into bringing my unfilial son and daughter-in-law home. Although I agree to let them go home, there are some things that ca
ot be changed. "
"Your mother-in-law doesn't like you, just like how I didn't like her back then. However, as long as they gave birth to the children of the He Family, then no one would be able to move from their position! Xiao Qi, you are a good child, and also a smart one. What do you mean by that? "
Shen Qi nodded silently.
"I still like you more than the other girls. When you had just entered the He Family, you had nothing at all. I bought you some chips so that you could deal with your mother-in-law when she was at your wit's end. "
Shen Qi continued to nod her head.
"But what I can do for you is, after all, limited. "The rest of the way, you still have to walk it yourself." Madam He replied, "As long as you are in He Family, and as long as my old woman doesn't die, the position of The He Family's Second Young Lady is yours. The condition is that you do not disappoint me. "
"Yes, Grandmother." Shen Qi replied.
"This time, for our birthday, there will be a lot of people at home. A lot of things will happen. You must learn to endure. " The Madam He looked at Shen Qi meaningfully and said: "There are a lot of disagreements within the big house. Our He Family was considered clean. Although there was a bit of climate among the side branches, they were still far from being comparable to the main branch. So, you have to straighten your back and take out the aura of a The He Family's Second Young Lady. "
Shen Qi was a little confused, but she did not ask.
"Those unrelated people, try your best to not let them affect your relationship with Yi Ning. Yi Ning inherited the temper of a man from the He Family, don't hurt him too much. " Madam He sighed and said, "As for the remaining matters, you can handle them as you see fit."
Madam He had a lot of words to say tonight, but other than expressing her stance, there was nothing else.
What's left is for Shen Qi to figure it out on her own.
Shen Qi nodded and said, "Grandma, I won't let you down."
"Alright, this sentence of yours is enough." Madam He smiled and said, "Right now, you are not without chips either. Although the Shen family in the Northeast is beyond our reach, my daughter-in-law still needs to be wary of them. "
Shen Qi nodded.
"Use your identity well." The Madam He continued to speak, "I am already old. There are many things that I am not able to handle. That's all there is to it. "
"Thank you, Grandma." Shen Qi replied obediently.
"Alright, let's go eat." Madam He looked at Shen Qi with satisfaction.
Although this granddaughter-in-law came in for a coincidence, but for the time being, this was a good mistake!
It was fortunate that there was such a coincidence that she didn't regret it!
After Shen Qi helped the Madam He out, He Yi Ning's expression did not change at all. It was as if she did not want to know what they had talked about at all, and only said smilingly: "Grandmother, the fruits you have here are the most delicious."
Madam He scolded jokingly: "Eating and drinking is all because of you, and you even came to my place to cheat food and drink!"
Shen Qi and He Yi Ning both laughed.
"Tomorrow, Dr. Qin will go over to check on your bodies. Since they are still young, and also have a honeymoon period, it's about time for a child." The Madam He said.
Shen Qi's face instantly turned faintly red.
He Yi Ning replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes.
The three of them had a lively meal this time.
Shen Qi told her about everything that had happened in this period of time.
Although Shen Qi knew that the Madam He knew everything, listening to others talk about it was one thing, but hearing it from her own mouth was another.
Therefore, Shen Qi very sensibly asked Old Man Ju, who liked to hear it, to act like he was the grandson of his wife.
In the past when he was at Shen Gang Shen Cui's house, Shen Qi had to carefully curry favor with the family of three, in exchange for a moment of peace between him and his brother.
Therefore, Shen Qi slowly got into the habit of doing things to the point of compromise.
Ever since he got to know He Yi Ning, Shen Qi's self-confidence had been nurtured back to normal. As a result, when facing the Madam He, he could also go one step further.
Adding on the fact that the Madam He was standing on Shen Qi's side, her attitude towards their conversation was especially amiable.
As a result, this meal felt great.
After finishing their meal, the Madam He talked to He Yi Ning alone. Shen Qi followed the and the housekeeper on a stroll around the garden in his house.
and the housekeeper was indeed a very competent butler.
As they leisurely walked, they talked about the history of the He Family and the construction of this house.
From the and the housekeeper's narration, Gu Xixi found out that the He Family Mansion was a building that had experienced hundreds of years of hardships.
Of course, the old building was not as spectacular as it was now. The old building was a small three-way courtyard.
It was this small courtyard that had given birth to a generation of scholars, who had contributed greatly for the revolution and for the people.
Afterwards, the people of the He Family left politics and chose to be marginalized.
began to focus on business.
During the later stages of the Cultural Revolution, the He Family relocated its main forces to other countries.
It was also because of this that the He Family's influence abroad was so deeply rooted.
Afterwards, He Yi Ning's grandfather went back to the country and secretly cooperated with the upper echelons. Gradually, the current He Family appeared.
And now, after the He Family had been handed over to He Yi Ning, the cooperation and relationship between the He Family and the nation had become inseparable.
It could be said that whether it was the Shen family or the He Family, they were both patriots passed down through generations.
It was probably because of this that Madam He liked Shen Qi so much.
In this regard, the two families were really compatible.
A family with the same idea wouldn't nurture a descendant who didn't have the same view.
Currently, the He Family was flourishing with many branches and leaves, and there were many members in the clan.
But in the direct line of descent, there was only He Yi Ning.
Of course, He Yi Qi did not count.
The other branches had always been eyeing the He Family covetously, but unfortunately, they did not have any benefits even when they were in He Yi Ning's hands.
After so many years of suppression, the other branches had all given up and decided to temporarily stay in hibernation.
This time, the 80th birthday of the Madam He, as well as the other branches, would come to congratulate him.
The and the housekeeper brought Shen Qi for a stroll. On the surface, it was a stroll, but it was actually a type of advice to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi was not an idiot. At first, she did not hear it, but later she understood the situation.
The and the housekeeper was giving her prophylactic treatment.
It looks like something really will happen to Grandmother's 80th birthday this time.
If he thought about it carefully, would he be fine?
Since it was their first time home, logically speaking, their positions should be the highest in He Family.
However, it was not.
The ones with the highest status were the Madam He and He Yi Ning.
If there were only Madam He s, it would still be fine. As the empress dowager, it was only right for her to wield power.
But He Yi Ning was still a junior, so what should they do, the Grand Emperor and the empress dowager?
It was hard to avoid others from watching. They might think that it was not enough to stir up a ruckus or something like that.
In addition, his father-in-law didn't even like him, so as long as he fa
ed the flames, he would probably be in trouble.
Sigh, this 80th birthday, is really a super grand feast!
But he couldn't refuse.
Not only did he have to attend as a Second Young Madam of the He Family, he also had to attend as a Madam President of the He Family.
To put it bluntly, his own social status had faintly surpassed that of his mother-in-law's.
How could his father-in-law and mother-in-law like him, who was such an existence?
And another one, it was Cui Yue Lan, the one with the sh * t stick!
Although He Yi Ning had made it clear that nothing had happened between him and Cui Yue Lan, he was also willing to believe that there was nothing going on between him and Cui Yue Lan.
However, there was a good saying. One should not be afraid of thieves stealing, but rather be afraid of thieves missing things out.
It would have been fine if Cui Yue Lan had given in after the last blow.
He was afraid that she would appear to be obedient and secretly do something bad to him.
It was easy to dodge an arrow in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
She might as well blatantly aim at him. That way, he would have a plan to deal with her.
Judging from the later stages of the competition, her skills seemed to have improved a lot.
It was a good idea for the experts behind him to give him pointers...
But who was that expert guiding them?
Was it a parents-in-law?
Extremely terrifying thinking.
No wonder the and the housekeeper mentioned him alone.
This was a worry for him!
Understanding this point, Shen Qi thanked the and the housekeeper very sincerely: "Thank you for your reminder, I will deal with it carefully."
As expected, and the housekeeper smiled with satisfaction, and said: "The madame said that you are an intelligent child, and it looks like it is true. "Even though the road ahead is dangerous, the madame stands on your side. As long as you have the madame's support and the young master's love, and have the next child, no one can shake your position."
Shen Qi raised her hand and caressed her lower abdomen.
She had been with He Yi Ning for so many times, it seemed like she was never pregnant.
Was it his problem?
and the housekeeper did not accompany Shen Qi for too long. After she finished saying what she needed to say, she would find a reason to take her leave.
Shen Qi didn't want to go back for the time being, so she just sat in a garden and stared blankly at the scenery.
At this time, Madam He called He Yi Ning to her study room, pla
ing to have a good chat with him.
"Grandmother. If you have something to say, just say it. " He Yi Ning was also straightforward, "I will listen to anything you say."
"Hmph, you only know how to coax me when you say something nice." Madam He cast a sidelong glance at He Yi Ning: "When your parents return, you probably won't listen to me."
"How is this possible? "You're our Matriarch!" He Yi Ning quickly brought some tea for Madam He and said: "Grandmother, after you finish bringing up Xiao Qi, how do you intend to raise up your grandson?"
Madam He glared at him in displeasure and said, "The reason I called you here was to tell you about this matter. Have you ever thought about how your parents would determine the family's status when they return home this time? "
He Yi Ning immediately became serious, and said: "Is that even necessary? You are the matriarch, and they are my parents. As a junior, I naturally have to listen to the orders of my elders. "
"If I'm the opposite of your mother's orders, who are you going to listen to?" Madam He would not be fooled so easily, she straightforwardly asked: "If Xiao Qi and Cui Yue Lan argue, I will support Xiao Qi, and your mother will support Cui Yue Lan, who will you listen to?"
