The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

Chapter 316 Old Mrs. Shen Accuses Her Grandson

Under the eaves of a side room in the old lady's courtyard of the Shen family, a pair of swallows returning from the south were cleaning their nest.

squeak squeak.

squeak squeak.

They seem to be arguing about whether to add another layer of soft feathers to the nest.

At this moment, Ping'er, the old lady's head maid, was standing in the courtyard, her head constantly looking towards the door.

Inside the room, Old Mrs. Shen was sitting on her bed, anxiously asking several times.

"Well, are they here yet?"

Has Ange'er arrived?

"No, the old lady is not in a hurry. She has already sent someone to invite her."

Grandma Shen touched her hair for a while, then looked in the mirror, "Take another look, how do I look?"

Guo'er looked at the old lady, whose face was pale and whose lips were bloodless, and nodded. "Grandma, don't worry, An'er will definitely not be able to see the problem."

"Look how weak you are, it breaks my heart and I wish I could agree to whatever you say."

"Not to mention Ange'er."

Upon hearing Guo'er's words, Old Madam Shen handed the bronze mirror in her hand to a maidservant by the bedside and looked anxiously at the doorway.

Suddenly, Ping'er ran in, "Grandma, An'er is at the gate of the courtyard."

Upon hearing Ping'er's words, Old Mrs. Shen quickly lay down, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes, and began to pretend to scream in pain.

"Oh dear, oh dear, I'd rather starve to death."

"Ouch..."

As soon as Shen Yu'an and Wan Yue reached the door, they heard Old Madam Shen shouting.

The voice sounded strong and energetic, not at all like someone who was uncomfortable; it sounded more like someone was cheering and waving a flag.

Guo'er sensed something was wrong and winked at Grandma Shen, asking her to lower her voice.

Grandma Shen opened one eye and saw Guo'er's reminder, so she simply stopped calling out.

Shen Yu'an and Wanyue walked in.

Wanyue rushed to Grandma Shen's bedside first, "Grandmother, what's wrong?" Her voice was choked with worry.

Shen Yu'an sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the room. He looked at Ping'er, who was panting beside him.

"Sister Ping'er, why are you breathing so heavily? Should we call a doctor to take a look?"

Ping'er shook her head, "No need, no need, I just ran a few steps in the yard, it's nothing."

"Oh." Shen Yu'an nodded and slowly walked into the inner room.

He saw Wanyue lying by the bed, holding Old Madam Shen's hand, almost crying.

Grandma Shen's eyelids twitched slightly; she had already missed the best time to wake up.

Right now, I'm hesitating about whether to wake up.

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Yu'an also walked in.

She couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards Ping'er. Why hadn't that girl told her that Wanyue was coming today?

She remembered that Wanyue had said last time that she would bring her something delicious this time.

Tsk!

Seeing Old Madam Shen's actions, Shen Yu'an couldn't help but smile.

"Cough." He feigned a cough to cover it up.

"Has a doctor been called? What's wrong with Grandma?"

"How long has Grandmother been in a coma? How could you be so careless? How have you been taking care of her?"

“It must be because you all think that your grandmother spoils you, and you don’t serve others properly. Each of you will be fined a month’s salary. If you do it again, you will be severely punished.”

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement, laughing and crying at Shen Yu'an's words.

Grandma Shen on the bed gripped the corner of the blanket even tighter.

Seeing that the old lady on the bed was still unwilling to wake up, Shen Yu'an continued, "Grandmother has been unconscious for so long and still hasn't woken up. Let's go find Physician Li to take a look."

Before he could finish speaking, "Ouch..." Old Mrs. Shen slowly opened her eyes.

"Grandmother has finally woken up. If you hadn't woken up, I would have personally gone to the Imperial Hospital to invite all the imperial physicians for you."

Grandma Shen rolled her eyes at him. This brat, he found out as soon as he walked in, and he's still pretending not to know.

Seeing that Grandma Shen had woken up, Wanyue immediately asked with concern, "Grandmother, what's wrong? Didn't my cousin say you were in good health and nothing was wrong?"

With the help of her attendants, Grandma Shen sat up and took Wanyue's hand, saying, "Grandma is alright. Grandma was just upset by that brat of your cousin."

"You have no idea, as soon as that brat came home, he made the kitchen cut off all the meat for me. I haven't seen a single piece of meat in my meals for a while now."

"No, we didn't even get a bite of lard."

"If I don't eat some meat for a day, I feel unwell all over; this part aches, that part aches."

Wanyue finally understood; it turned out that her maternal grandmother and cousin were engaged in a power struggle.

She said, "When I first came in, I felt something was off about my grandmother."

The chubby little old lady had a rosy complexion, but her lips were frighteningly white.

Judging from my cousin's expression, he's the only one who got scammed.

Shen Yu'an walked up to the old lady Shen with a helpless expression. "Grandmother, have you forgotten what Physician Li instructed you last time?"

"That guy has always been unreliable since he was a child. Who knows if he just couldn't stand that I still have teeth and can eat well, so he said that on purpose."

That old lady, she really knows how to say the wrong thing.

Physician Li may have a few missing teeth, but his medical skills are excellent.

“Look at you, what old lady is like you?”

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?" Old Mrs. Shen straightened her body, expressing her dissatisfaction.

She's just a little chubby, but as the old saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing.

She has such a blessed appearance that most people don't even have it.

Shen Yu'an: [What kind of seventy-year-old lady only thinks about eating meat all day long?]

He wasn't completely preventing Old Madam Shen from eating; it's just that during this period, he heard from Physician Li that Old Madam Shen needed to carefully control her diet and absolutely could not eat any meat.

If you control it for six months, you can eat it for several more years. Otherwise, if you continue to ignore it, you may not only be unable to eat any meat in the future, but your health will also collapse.

He then instructed the kitchen staff that the food in the old lady's room must not contain any meat.

Who knew that only three days later, the old lady would start playing tricks on him.

If Wanyue hadn't come today, he could have guessed how things would have gone.

The old woman must have used her own discomfort to blackmail him into agreeing to her demands.

What are the requirements?

It's just about eating meat.

What kind of old lady thinks about nothing but food all day long?

I don't know who he took after.

"But we can't just eat plain porridge and vegetables all day long."

"The porridge had no flavor at all, and the vegetables were just salty," Grandma Shen complained, acting like a child.

"Ping'er, go and bring up the meals I eat every day, and let An'ge'er try them."

She refused to believe that Shen Yu'an could eat it.

Unbeknownst to her, this brat was constantly having the kitchen devise new and varied dishes for him, leaving her with nothing but vegetarian food, just like a rabbit.

Her face almost turned green from eating so much food.

"Eat up, try this. It's what your grandmother eats three meals a day." Her tone was full of resentment.

Looking at the unappetizing food on the table, Shen Yu'an hesitated for a moment before swallowing the words of advice he wanted to say.

The food looked extremely bland, and he couldn't bring himself to say it was delicious.

He looked around the room, and suddenly his gaze lingered on Wanyue.

Yes, how could he forget her?
