Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 493 Banquet, Reinstatement

"Okay, since it was an accident, I won't blame you. You must serve me well in the future." Hearing that Runiang served the old lady wholeheartedly, Shen Wenting's expression eased a little.

"Yes, sir, I will definitely serve the old lady well." Aunt Ru nodded repeatedly.

When it was time for dinner, Yao Qingnian and Shen Jinghong arrived late.

"Father, I heard that you have lived up to the emperor's trust this time and have returned with great merit. Congratulations." Yao Qingnian looked at Shen Wenting's happy face and said.

"Sister, what does it mean to have made a great contribution? Is it fun?" Shen Jinghong said harmlessly from the side.

"Not fun."

"Why come here if it's not fun, sister? Next time I'll give you something fun." The brother and sister sang in unison.

"Okay, sit down and eat!"

Seeing the brother and sister, Shen Wenting's original joy of returning disappeared in an instant. He interrupted the brother and sister with a stern face. It seems that Shen Jinghong has become like this and there is no way to cure him. The Shen family still has to rely on Haobo. So he looked at Shen Haobo on the side. Although Shen Haobo had made mistakes before, it should not be a problem to correct them. If not, just have another child.

"I won't eat. I have something else to do. I'll leave first." Yao Qingnian didn't give him any face at all.

"If I can't be your sister, I won't eat either. Let's go play." Shen Jinghong also agreed.

"Okay, let's go."

"stop!"

But the brother and sister left without looking back. Shen Wenting was furious and no one dared to make a sound.

"Master, don't be angry. It's not worth it to hurt yourself. You know that the eldest lady is just willful and unruly." Yan Huan advised from the side. This eldest lady is really like that. She doesn't even want to pretend. Look how angry the master is. Thinking of her attitude towards him two days ago, he hopes that the father and daughter will have a falling out. That fool is not a big deal, but Yao Qingnian is not someone who can be easily dealt with. With her around, the mistress in the mansion always feels that she has no deterrent power.

"Father, you don't know, she is not only disrespectful to you, but two days ago, she also secretly captured the maidservant beside the lady. She is becoming more and more arrogant in the mansion." Shen Haobo had long disliked Yao Qingnian. Seeing that he was angry, she added fuel to the fire. Aunt Ru tugged at Shen Haobo's sleeve, signaling him not to interfere in their affairs, but he was unmoved.

"What? This wicked girl has done such a rebellious thing! Huan'er, you have been wronged. Don't worry, I will find a chance to teach her a lesson for you." Shen Wenting secretly made up his mind that he must teach this wicked girl a lesson.

"Master, I don't feel wronged. Compared with you, this little grievance is nothing. That maid made the young lady unhappy, so she deserves to be punished."

"It's hard for you to be so considerate." Shen Wenting looked at her with relief: "Okay, let's eat. They're not here, which is good. This meal will be more comfortable."

"Okay, come on, master, eat more. Look, you've lost weight." Yan Huan's face was full of smiles, and he didn't notice the expressions of Ru Niang and her son beside him.

Runiang was very upset. Shen Wenting had been home for so long, but he only cared about Yan Huan and didn't care about her at all. Haha... For more than ten years, she had thought that the man in front of her was sincere to her. Now she had completely seen through him. In front of his power and money, she was worthless and dispensable, not to mention his sincerity. It was simply a joke.

This time, he made a great contribution and the emperor was very pleased. He directly promoted him back to the position of Shangshu and rewarded him with many good things. For a time, the Shen Mansion, which was deserted in the past, became crowded with people, and many people came to visit every day.

Shen Wenting was busy dealing with everyone every day, smiling from ear to ear, and all the unpleasant things were forgotten. It just so happened that his birthday was in two days, so he decided to hold a birthday banquet in the mansion, using the name of the birthday banquet to celebrate his reinstatement.

On the day of Shen Wenting's birthday banquet, the Shen Mansion was extremely lively. Many dignitaries came to give gifts and congratulations. The Shen Mansion had not been so lively for a long time, and people from all around also came to watch.

"Oh, I thought that Lord Shen would not be in a good situation after leaving the Duke's Mansion, but I didn't expect that he would be able to sit back in the position of Lord Shangshu with his own strength this time."

"That's right! Lord Shen graduated from high school at a young age. This is something that most people can't compare to."

"He was able to clean up the mess of the Emperor's Mausoleum this time. He is a capable man."

"I don't know if the Duke's Mansion will regret it."

Shen Wenting is now in the limelight, and everyone in the capital is on his side. The things he did have long been forgotten, and everyone only sees his current glory.

After the banquet started, Prince Lian Rui also brought Shen Youran back in person.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Rui, Concubine Shen." Shen Wenting was flattered to see that Prince Rui had come in person. You know, since Youran joined the palace, Prince Rui had never set foot in the Shen Mansion.

"Father-in-law, there's no need to be polite. I heard that you're back, so I brought Concubine Shen back specially to congratulate you." Prince Rui gave him a light support, telling him not to be polite.

"Father." Shen Youran called softly from the side. Her belly was already bulging. She had previously wanted to frame Aunt Wu in the mansion, but she had escaped easily. After that, she had not found an opportunity. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she felt a little panicked.

"Hey, Youran, you are in a very heavy condition now, you must take good care of yourself. The succession to the throne is no joke."

"I will follow my father's teachings. I understand."

"Please come in, Your Highness." Shen Wenting invited Prince Rui to take a seat.

Yan Huan was outside greeting the ladies and young ladies who came with her. It was the first time for her to organize such a banquet, so she was a little nervous and worried about making mistakes, so she tried her best to entertain the guests.

Although many people looked down on her because she was the daughter of a merchant, they did not show it on their faces. They flattered her and said, "Mrs. Shen is very lucky. Not long after she got married, her husband was appreciated by the emperor and took the position of Shangshu. Her future is limitless. It is really enviable."

"Yes, she is not only blessed, but also capable. Look, she has managed the Shen Mansion in perfect order."

"Mrs. Shen's every move is not much worse than those of us who come from famous families."

Everyone was praising Yan Huan. She was worried that it would be difficult to deal with these young ladies from wealthy families today, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. Her husband was now back in the position of Shangshu, and even the prince came in person. These people had to curry favor with her. She was so happy.
