905 Private meeting
The conversation in the reception Pavilion ended with Shen LAN being rendered speechless by Chen Qingzhi.
After coming out of the flower Hall, Chen Qingzhi left the old mansion alone.
Because the old lady said that Xiao Junxi needed to stay behind to study, and after he was done, he had to stay and have dinner with her. After dinner, she would get someone to send li Junxi back to li garden.
When she heard this, Shen LAN noticed that Chen Qingzhi’s gentle eyes were full of smiles.
Chen Qingzhi had been treated coldly by the old Madam, and even ‘invited’ out by uncle Zhang in a rather impolite manner.
Not only was she not angry, but she was also unusually cooperative and in a good mood.
Shen LAN knew the reason for this-Chen Qingzhi had used her own stupidity as an excuse to send li Junxi to the old residence with the image of a mother who ‘didn’t know how to arrange her son’s homework’.
The more old Mrs. Han hated her and looked down on her, the more reluctant she was to let her, Chen Qingzhi, teach li Junxi.
As a result, li Junxi finally became the second grandson to be personally taught by the old lady after li junyu.
“Uncle Zhang, chaochao is awake. Why don’t you ask the old lady if we should take chaochao to her?” Shen LAN was unwilling to give up. She lowered her eyes and carried her grandson over.
Li zhechao was born on New Year’s Eve, and it had only been 100 days since then. He was very small and delicate, and the old lady liked him very much at first sight.
Shen Lan’s words no longer held any weight in front of the old Madam, but she still had her grandson, and she could still use him to fight against the first branch.
But unfortunately …
“Third Madam, I’m sorry old Madam Xuanji said that it’s young master Junxi’s study time now. She wants to watch from the side and doesn’t want to see anyone.”
Old Madam li was old and not as capable as she had been when she was young, but she had not forgotten the key point.
If a clan wanted to prosper, education was definitely of utmost importance.
It was not only about education from books, but also about the experiences and knowledge that could not be found in books and had to be taught by the elders of the family.
When she heard uncle Zhang’s usual cold tone of rejection, Shen LAN almost lost her smile.
She knew that in the past, before she had fallen out of favor, even if the old lady was busy, she would still find time to see her.
As the daughter-in-law of the Li family’s third branch, Shen LAN used to be the old Madam’s right-hand man.
But now …
Shen LAN nodded slightly and hid the fluctuations in her eyes.”Then forget it. Since old lady is busy, I won’t disturb you. I’ll bring chaochao back first and come back tomorrow.”
After she finished speaking, she left the old house with her grandson and the nanny.
The car they were in suddenly stopped by the side of the road.
Shen LAN alighted from the car, and the car drove away. After a while, a black luxury car slowly stopped in front of Shen LAN.
Shen LAN raised her eyebrows, opened the car door, and got in.
father, Wanwan! Shen LAN greeted the man in the back seat as soon as she got into the car.
Shen Zhen, who was not young but had a flirtatious appearance and maintained his appearance well, nodded his head, ” “Well, it’s been so long and you still haven’t settled that trash Li Hongyang? You even have to sneak out to meet, and meet in such a place.”
Shen Zhen’s thick brows furrowed, as if he was very dissatisfied with Shen Lan’s performance.
Shen LAN knew that Shen Zhen was resenting her because of her falling status in the Li family.
She still needed the support of the Shen family, so she explained, ” “Soon. Recently, Li Hongyang has not been as cold to me as he was before. He is willing to talk to me. Don’t worry, father, I’ll find a way to put the medicine you gave me into his bowl next time. When Yingluo gets into bed, there won’t be any overnight grudges between the husband and wife.”
