The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 354 Uncle 2's Selfishness

Jiang Sujin and Shen Yanfeng returned to the Shen Mansion. Shen Changfeng and Old Master Shen were naturally very happy.

Especially when Shen Changfeng saw his two grandsons, he couldn't stop smiling.

When the family was having dinner, Mr. Shen brought his great-granddaughter Shen Yueqing over.

When Shen Yueqing saw the two of them, he quickly bowed and said, "Hello, uncle and aunt!"

Jiang Sujin saw that Shen Yueqing was indeed pretty, but not so beautiful as to be stunningly beautiful.

Jiang Sujin: "How old are you this year?"

Shen Yueqing: "My dear aunt, I am fifteen years old this year."

Shen Changfeng immediately said, "Just came of age."

Jiang Sujin: "Fifteen, not too old."

Shen Changfeng: "The emperor is going to select a beauty, and she has been reported."

Shen Yanfeng: "Dad, I heard that someone in the court proposed that Yue Qing be the queen?"

Shen Changfeng: "Yes, you are the Prince of Yong'an who has made great military achievements, your grandfather is the Duke of Rong, your aunt is the Grand Empress Dowager, and the Emperor grew up in the Shen Mansion. No one is more suitable to be the Queen Mother's family than our Shen family."

Shen Yanfeng: "It is precisely because I am the Prince of Yong'an and a member of the royal family that our family cannot compete for the position of empress."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changfeng couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Why?"

Shen Yanfeng said with a sullen face: "Dad, why do you say that? You have forgotten how the late emperor was afraid of me, right?"

Shen Changfeng said with a sullen face: "It's different. That was the late emperor. The emperor grew up with you and has feelings for the Shen Mansion."

Shen Yanfeng: "No matter how deep the feelings are, he will still have concerns about us. Emperors have always been suspicious. Don't you even understand this, Dad?"

Shen Changfeng: "What do you mean? Are you going to let Yueqing enter the palace as a concubine?"

Jiang Sujin: "Since you feel wronged by being a concubine, you can choose not to enter the palace."

Shen Changfeng's eyes widened when he heard this: "Not going to the palace? Yue Qing's horoscope has been reported? You say you don't want to go to the palace now?"

Jiang Sujin: "If Dad really wants to stop it, this can be stopped."

Shen Changfeng: "Why do you want to stop them? Others are trying their best to enter the palace, why are you trying to stop them?"

Jiang Sujin: "Dad, have you ever thought that letting Yueqing enter the palace is indeed a symbol of honor for the Shen family."

"But have you ever thought about this? If the emperor suspects Shen Yanfeng because of this, it will be a disaster for the Shen family!"

Shen Changfeng: "What do you know? The harem is connected to the previous dynasty. Only when there are people of our own in the harem can the Shen family's career rise step by step."

Jiang Sujin: "But you are already a second-rank official, and your grandfather is the Duke of Rong. You will inherit the title in the future."

"Shen Yanfeng is a king of a different surname, and his throne can also be inherited."

“The Shen family already has supreme favor.”

At this time, the second uncle suddenly spoke up: "Niece-in-law, I, as your uncle, don't want to listen to what you said."

"Your lineage is thriving, so we don't need to worry about it, right?"

Jiang Sujin's face darkened instantly when she heard this: "You have to earn your own future, not rely on others to give it to you."

"If Second Uncle can fight in battle, the Emperor will naturally use you."

When Second Uncle heard this, his expression suddenly became even uglier.

"I can't fight on the battlefield, so I rely on my daughter. As long as my daughter becomes the queen, our group will prosper."

"You ignore us and want to prevent us from rising, huh~"

Jiang Sujin couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this: "Since Second Uncle is so strong-willed, then don't rely on the relationship with Prince Yong'an."

When Second Uncle heard this, his expression suddenly became even uglier.

"Yanfeng, look at your wife, how can you say such things?"

"We are a family. How can we have different opinions?"

Shen Yanfeng: "Second Uncle, Susu's words are not nice to hear, but this is the fact."

"I am against Yue Qing's fight for the position of queen."

"When the emperor asked about it today, I expressed my thoughts truthfully."

When the second uncle heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red: "Yanfeng, how can you hold your own people back like this?"

Shen Yanfeng: "I can't help it. My second uncle wants his daughter to become a phoenix, but I also have to consider my own interests. The emperor asked me today, obviously wanting to test me."

"I can only say I am against it, otherwise the emperor will definitely be suspicious."

"I was exiled to Yazhou because the late emperor was afraid of me. I don't want to go through that again."

When Second Uncle heard this, his face suddenly turned red and white.

"So what you mean is that you want to go against your uncle?"

Shen Yanfeng: "Second Uncle can make all the arrangements as he pleases. Whether Yue Qing can be favored by the Emperor depends on Yue Qing's luck."

Seeing that Shen Yanfeng didn't give him face, Second Uncle was naturally very angry, but he didn't want to break up with him because of this.

So he could only say in a gentle voice: "Yanfeng, Second Uncle's attitude was bad just now. It's all Second Uncle's fault."

"You should ask your wife to take care of our Yue Qing during the selection, considering that your second uncle is your real uncle."

Jiang Sujin: "Second Uncle, I don't have that much power. I'm just there to help the emperor make his decision. It's up to him to decide who the emperor will choose."

When Second Uncle heard this, his expression instantly turned ugly again.

Shen Changfeng: "Su Jin, Daddy will say something for your second uncle. On the day of the selection, you should directly mention it to the emperor."

Jiang Sujin: "The emperor naturally knows everyone's family background, and as Yueqing's aunt, the more I come to Yueqing, the more I should avoid suspicion."

Seeing that she didn't even give face to an old man like him, Shen Changfeng was so angry that he got up and left.

Seeing this, Jiang Sujin was too lazy to continue acting with them, so she got up and left.

Shen Yanfeng gave his second uncle a few instructions, then got up and left.

The next day, Jiang Sujin took her child back to her parents' home.

Jiang Sujin hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time, but that familiar feeling suddenly came to her.

When Yang Xiuyun saw her grandchildren, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Jiang Sujin's three younger brothers are all married and have children all over the place.

The whole family got together, it was so lively.

The family sat together for dinner, and Yang Xiuyun mentioned her sister's children.

Little sister Yang Xiuyun was also a beauty with a tragic fate. She died after giving birth, leaving behind only a baby girl.

The girl is eighteen years old now, and she should have been married long ago.

But all the marriages her stepmother arranged for her were not suitable for her, so she insisted on not getting married.

Jiang Sujin was curious about what the girl looked like. Yang Xiuyun said that she looked like her sister and was quite pretty.

If her sister hadn't died early, she would probably have found a good husband earlier.

Jiang Sujin thought for a while and then spoke directly to Yang Xiuyun.

"How about letting her go to the talent show?"

Yang Xiuyun: "She is a bit old, isn't she?"

Jiang Sujin: "It doesn't matter if it's a big deal or not, isn't it just a matter of one word from me?"
