His Transmigrated Cannon Fodder Fiance - Chapter 6 - The Shen Family (3)

Chapter 6 – The Shen Family (3)
“Third miss, we have arrived.” Ziqiao heard the voice of the carriage boy and her former contemplation was interrupted.

The Shen family’s gate has three pillars supported by 5 beams, it was painted green. There are stone lions, one female, and one male, squatting on the bases on the left and right sides. The male lion’s right front paw stepped on the embroidered ball. The female lion pressed the lion cub with her left front paw.

Temperaments fierce, there was an invisible oppressive force that loomed.

We’re here! Shen Ziqiao stared at the lintel above with a young dragon with horns and the powerful Shen household symbol. Taking a deep breath, Ziqiao prayed everything will go smoothly**.

**T/N: A proverb was used here: when the boat gets to the pier-head, it will go straight with the current.

Not a moment later, Shen Ziqiao was standing in the Shen family’s back garden. Shen Ziqiao almost wanted to cry. Where is her room?

“Third miss you have come back? The old madam was looking for you everywhere!” While Shen Ziqiao was at a loss, a servant girl in bright clothes hurriedly went to her.

“Take me to where the old madam is.” She said urgently.

She was quickly taken to a courtyard. Just entered the gate, she saw two or three maids dressed in red and green sitting on the terrace in front of the central building. One of the maids dressed in peach blossoms stood up.

“Oh! The third young miss is back!”

At this point, everyone else stood up and drew up the curtain to let Shen Ziqiao in.

The faint smell of rouge was present in the air. Shen Ziqiao looked up and quickly glanced around. She was not in the mood to observe the furnishings in the room.

She saw a woman leaning sideways on a sandalwood couch in the middle. On the left and right are servant girls fanning her gently. Ice cubes were placed in the middle of the room. No wonder there is no summer heat inside the room at all.

This is probably the old madam Shen.

“So you’ve returned.”The old madam was dressed in a dark red satin coat, in the middle of eating frozen melons and fruits. When Shen Ziqiao came in, she placed down the fruit. The maid came over with a copper basin and handed her a towel for her to wash her hands and wipe her mouth.

Shen Ziqiao bowed her head. “Grandmother.”

“Hum, you shameless thing!” Old madam Shen suddenly became angry and threw her handkerchief towards Shen Ziqiao’s face.

“The Shen family’s face was lost by you! WIth this behavior do you think the ninth prince will look at you at a favorable light? Do you think it’s not enough for your father to be ridiculed and laughed at in court?!”

Shen Ziqiao tilted her head to avoid the incoming projectile. She is guessing in her heart that Old madam Shen’s anger must have something to do with her going to the Thousand Buddha Temple.

She wondered how the news spread so fast. Then she must already know about her and that Qi Zheng?

Because she doesn’t know s thing about the old madam Shen’s temperament. Shen Ziqiao did not dare to defend herself, but instead bowed her head and said nothing.

At this time, a servant girl came from the outside to report that the high and mighty eldest young miss and second miss has arrived.
