Noble Son-in-Law - Chapter 6.3

Chapter 6.3

Shen Qushenge felt like he had gone back more than thirty years, and he had returned to the Song family’s old house in Tongzhou.

 [Tl:- Just a reminder: The Song family is Shen Qushenge’s concubine, who is Shen Qingqing’s grandmother’s family.

 That day, while he was studying hard behind closed doors in the guest room, Mr. Song sent someone to invite him to the garden for tea.

 Shen Qushenge reluctantly accepted the invitation and followed the servant halfway, and when he passed the rockery and turned the corner, he suddenly walked towards a pair of master and servant. The leading girl had apricot eyes and snow-skinned skin; she was dressed in a begonia-red mandarin and had an agate pendant dangling from her ears. Seeing such beauty, he was flustered. – –

 Being stared at by the old man, Shen Qingqing was a little panicked and called out in a low voice, “Grandpa?”

 Shen Qushenge finally came back to his senses and looked again, and it was clearly his little granddaughter in front of him.

 Shen Qingqing was similar in appearance to her grandmother when she was small, and now the fourteen-year-old Shen Qingqing is the same as Mrs. Song when she was young.

 After coughing, Shen Qushenge looked at his granddaughter again and sighed in a low voice, “Qingqing, you look like your grandma.” Halfway through, he realised that he had made a mistake in his words, so he quickly shut up.

 To cover up the gaffe just now, Shen Qushenge walked in with a serious expression as soon as he got out of the carriage.

 Shen Qingqing followed her mother, looking at the old man’s still-slender and upright back.

 Her grandmother told her to dress up like this. When Shen Qingqing asked why, her grandmother proudly told her that she was dressed like that when she and her grandfather first met. Also, her grandma said that if she could charm her grandfather once, she could charm him a second time, but this second time, Shen Qingqing had to do it.

 ‘Just now, my grandfather was looking at my face and didn’t even notice that my jewellery and clothes were too outstanding. Does this prove that the plan worked? Why does it work? It seems because my grandfather liked my grandmother so much and because my grandfather never forgot the first time they met.’

 After his wife Du Shi died of illness, Shen Qushenge never married again or took any other concubines. Everyone said that Shen Qushenge was clean, self-sufficient, and an upright official.

 ‘Hmm…. Now it seems that his heart is actually only for my grandmother, and he just wants to grow old with her, right? Grandma was so sure that this plan would work, so she probably understood Grandpa’s intentions.’

 Shen Qingqing was a smart girl. Since her grandmother had paved the way for her, there was no problem for Shen Qingqing to leave on her own.

 “Grandpa, let me help you!”

 Leaving her parents and brothers behind, Shen Qingqing ran happily to the old man’s side and took his arm affectionately.

 Shen Qushenge’s body froze, and everyone in the third room behind him also looked at it with shock.

 He was an unsmiling and reprimanding elder. None of his three sons dared to overstep the mark in front of the old man. The two eldest grandsons, who had been raised in the capital, never dared to smile playfully in front of the old man. Shen Qingqing was the only one who dared to do such a thing. The granddaughter, who knew she was committing the crime, actually dared to try to win over the old man.

 Mrs. Chen was nervous and didn’t dare to express her anger. She was very afraid that her father-in-law would make her precious daughter cry the next moment.

 The eldest lady raised the corners of her lips in gloating, looking forward to seeing a good show of asking for trouble.

 In front of everyone, Shen Qushenge lowered his head.

 Shen Qingqing raised her little face, her almond-shaped eyes filled with mist as they reflected the light.

 Grandfather and granddaughter looked at each other, then Shen Qingqing pouted and complained softly, “Grandpa? You know that we are coming back today, but don’t you miss us at all? It’s a shame that I dreamed of you when I took a nap at noon. It’s over!”

 Shen Qushenge: “…”

 This was the first time in his life he was so close to a junior, and he was really not used to it!

 Lips moved. Shen Qushenge wanted to say something but didn’t know how to say it.

 The old man was very still, like an old piece of wood. It was difficult to tell if he was angry or not.

 Shen Qingqing was scared, but she couldn’t change her mind once she started. She had already done this, so she could only keep going.

 “Grandpa, do you miss me?” Shen Qingqing playfully shook the old man’s arm.

 Shen Qushenge was very surprised and confused.

 Seeing that, Shen Tingwen got very upset and yelled at his daughter for being rude to her grandfather.

 Shen Qingqing bit her lip, and slowly lowered her head, and the hands holding the old man’s hand loosened little by little.

 This delicate granddaughter was scolded by her father for his delay in responding. Shen Qushenge blamed himself a little and subconsciously clamped his granddaughter’s little hand tightly with his hands.

 Shen Qingqing raised her head in surprise.

 Shen Qushenge looked angry and turned to his son. He said, “I’m talking to Qingqing; why do you need to interfere?”

 Shen Tingwen said, “…”

 ‘Is this still my father?’ He remember when his father came back home after being gone for a long time for work when he was seven years old, he couldn’t stop himself from running to hug his father. But what did the old man do? He looked at him and scolded him, saying he was behaving badly.

 Remembering the past, Shen Tingwen couldn’t stop himself from looking at his two brothers.

 Shen Tingkai and Second Master Shen, who were brothers, looked at each other and then turned away without saying anything.

 Perhaps the three brothers were picked up!
