Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 593 Just like Shen Shui

Shen Zizhen stepped forward with Shen Li and as soon as the two walked in, the guests of the Shen family\'s banquet started to hiss excitedly. Though Shen Junxi was just a butcher it was said that his skills were of top qualities, and the game that was hunted by the hunters of his butchery was the freshest among all. Many officials including the imperial family would order meat from him and then there was Shen Zizhen, his business skills have long surpassed his mother\'s and he now ranked at the top of the merchant\'s lists, it was said that many antiques that were an object of fascination for many consorts were occupied and sold by Shen Zizhen.

If any consort wanted to buy anything rare and unique she would call Shen Zizhen before anyone else. So, it was given that their arrival would create some wave in the banquet.

Ji Shan noticed that the cat was leisurely rubbing itself against Shen Zizhen and her brows jumped as she turned to look at Shen Zeyu who sent her a very familiar proactive look. Her face turned livid and then she returned her focus to the two Shen uncles who have walked in, looks like this was what Shen Zeyu was talking about, these two were here to ruin her adoption ceremony, she looked down at the broken pieces of the teacup and couldn\'t help but feel depressed. She was so close, so close —— Old madam Shen just needed to take that cup from her hand and she would have been adopted as the granddaughter of the Shen family.

Though she was upset, Ji Shan knew that she couldn\'t do anything at the moment, if she tried to pull any scheme against the Shen brothers, there was a chance that one of these young ladies might call her out. So, she smiled as she tried to suppress the anger in her heart, she really wanted to chop that cat and eat it whole for disrupting such an important ceremony but she still pulled a magnanimous expression and looked at the two Shen uncles as she greeted them. " Eldest uncle, Second uncle, you are here? Grandma has been waiting for you."

Her voice was gentle like she wasn\'t the slightest bit upset about what just happened. However, just as she spoke it was enough to remind people of what happened just now. They all turned to look at the little cat that was at Shen Zizhen \'s side and couldn\'t help but wonder why the second master of the Shen family didn\'t control his cat better.

Even Grandma Shen was upset, she furrowed her brows as she looked at her second son and somewhat unpleasantly asked, " Zizhen, what\'s the meaning of this, since when did your cats become so unruly? Didn\'t you train them properly? So what is the meaning of this?" She wanted to scold Shen Zizhen even more but then Ji Shan hurriedly stopped her as she said, " Grandma it\'s alright, the cat didn\'t do it on purpose. I once had a cat too and it liked to jump on high places as well, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, no matter how one tames his cats, they are in the end animals. Someone can only teach a few things to it, it\'s not like it\'s going to learn everything that\'s taught to it, right ?"

Old madam Shen was touched by what Ji Shan said, the more she listened to it the more she thought that Ji Shan resembled her daughter even more. Her Shui Shui used to protect her brothers like this as well, there were countless times when Shen Zizhen would bring a wild cat from somewhere because he was still a young boy, he couldn\'t train the cat that well and things were broken by the cat every now and then, Shui Shui would then take her brother\'s blame and say —- \' Mother, its not brother\'s cat that broke the vase...Shui Shui... Shui Shui liked the vase and tried to touch it. That\'s how it broke, I am sorry mother.\'

Back then no matter how she tried to scare Shen Shui she would never budge and keep on saying that she was the one who broke it. In the end, she would lightly punish her and Shen Zizhen would then throw a tantrum after returning from school and finding out that his sister was punished because of him. Her Shui Shui was like this too, just as innocent and naive as Ji Shan. It was such a pity that she loved someone she should have never——

What old madam Shen didn\'t know was that this incident that was so close to her heart was told to Ji Shan by her grandfather that was why she used the knowledge to her advantage and nothing more. Ji Shan was nowhere as pure-hearted as Shen Shui who was once willing to give her life for her brothers.

Old madam Shen thought that after seeing this side of Ji Shan, Shen Zizhen would definitely accept her in their family after all he was the one who was the closest to Shen Shui but when she raised her head and looked at Shen Zizhen she realised that he was even more stony-faced than before, she was startled and so was Ji Shan, she deliberately used this incident to make herself look more like Shen Shui but who would have thought that instead of looking even remotely impressed, Shen Zizhen was glaring at her with so much hatred.

" Second what\'s the meaning of this? You are scaring little Shan Shan" Old madam Shen hurriedly pulled Ji Shan back as she stood up from her chair and at her second son. " Why are you glaring at her like that? She is trying to act magnanimously by not pulling old records and complaining about how your cat disrupted the most important ceremony of her life, yet you are looking at her like she did something wrong? Are you all right?"
