Chapter 791 You Can't Compare with Our Son
"Ma'am, please stop imagining it. Suining is a smart girl. She will definitely understand that we mean well and won't misunderstand." Father Shen comforted his wife.
After hearing this, although the expression on Shen's face improved a little, she was still worried. "Yes, that child has always been clear-headed, but..."
But regarding the matter of the girls' academy this time, she always felt that even if they told her, Sui Ning might not listen to them.
Father Shen understood what Mother Shen meant. "Whether she listens or not, as elders, we still have to remind her. I just hope she can think clearly, or at least know how to avoid the sharp edge. In fact, I am not so worried about Sui Ning. It's Yan Xi, this kid puts his wife first, I am afraid he will be impulsive and not consider it carefully."
"Master, what you said is not right. Isn't it right to put your wife first? Could it be that in your heart, I shouldn't be put first?" Mother Shen spoke immediately.
Father Shen choked and looked at his wife helplessly, "Madam! We are talking about the child, why are you dragging yourself into this? Besides, for so many years, when have I not put you first?"
"That's because nothing serious has happened. If something serious happens, we still don't know what will happen." Mother Shen snorted, "Just like the matter of Sheng Yanxi before, I felt that you valued your offspring more than me. In this respect, you are not as good as our son."
Not long after Yanxi and Suining got married, Yanxi specifically told them not to rush Suining to have children and to let everything take its course.
Of course, they also thought clearly that they were still young and there was no need to be too anxious, so they never mentioned this topic in front of Sui Ning.
Unlike her time, the issue of offspring was raised shortly after getting married.
"Ma'am, it's been so many years, and I didn't know you didn't want to have a baby so early, and you didn't tell me."
"I didn't tell you, but you can see it for yourself. Anyway, no matter what, you can't compare to our son."
"Okay, okay, I can't compare, I can't compare." Father Shen felt helpless and amused, "Who would have thought that at my age, the title of a good husband would be surpassed by my own son."
Although what Shen's mother said just now contained some comparison, it was mostly a joke. Now seeing her husband admitting his mistake obediently, she also smiled.
"Okay, I won't make a fuss with you. Although I can't compare to my son, I am still satisfied with you as my husband. Especially since you resigned from your post, you have more time to spend with me. For this reason, I won't make a fuss."
"Thank you for your tolerance, Madam." Father Shen said immediately, "Madam, please tell me where you want to go. I will definitely accompany you."
The smile on Shen's mother's face froze for a moment. Although she had many places she wanted to go, under the current circumstances, it would be better for her to stay in the imperial city and see what the situation was.
Although she thought of the current trouble again, Shen's mother did not mention it again, making the atmosphere that had finally relaxed become solemn again.
She just said, "Then I have to think about it carefully. Also, my husband, you must remember that this is what you said, and you can't go back on your word."
"Don't worry, I always keep my promises in front of my wife."
Outside the carriage, the coachman who had worked in the Shen family for many years couldn't help but smile as he listened to the conversation between his wife and the master in the carriage.
After so many years, the relationship between the master and the mistress is still so good.
No wonder the young master is so nice to the young lady, he is just following suit.
On the other side, Jiang Suining and Xier walked into the mansion together.
"Miss, are you really going to give up on the Women's Academy?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Didn't you just promise Mr. Shen and Madam Shen that you would think about it carefully?"
Jiang Suining smiled and said, "Father and mother are worried. If I don't say this, they will be even more worried."
"So, Miss, what you said just now was just to comfort them?"
Jiang Suining stopped and said, "I guess so. Although I feel a little sorry for them, I really don't have anything else to say just now."
After all, she hasn't fully figured out what Prince Su wants to do yet, so naturally she can't guarantee that she won't have any trouble in the future.
If I insist on doing this in front of my parents, it will only make them more worried.
"Miss, you said that, but you didn't give up the Women's Academy in the end. Mister and Madam Shen would be unhappy if they knew about it, thinking that you deceived them." Xier said worriedly, "And when they came here today, did they think that you had implicated their son-in-law, so they came here to blame you?"
Although they have been very good to the young lady since their marriage, she is, after all, a daughter-in-law. In their hearts, she will never be as good as their own son.
"No." Jiang Suining shook his head. "I just said I would consider it, but I didn't make any promises. Father and mother understand this. As for the blame..."
Jiang Suining looked at Xier seriously, "I understand your thoughts. It is human nature to think so. But Xier, I believe that my father and mother came here with good intentions. You should not let your imagination run wild, especially in front of your husband. You must not make random guesses to avoid misunderstandings. Do you understand?"
Seeing her lady's serious look, Xier nodded quickly, "Yes, Miss, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely not say anything nonsense."
After getting Xier's assurance, Jiang Suining didn't say anything more.
In the evening, when Shen Yanxi returned home, he soon learned from the servant that his father and mother had come.
When I entered the study, Jiang Suining was checking the accounts for this period of time.
Jiang Suining didn't come back to his senses until Shen Yanxi walked to the table.
"You're back." Jiang Suining said with a smile.
Shen Yanxi nodded. "I finally had a day off, but why are you focusing on the account books again? Are the accountants we hired before not good enough?"
"No, they are responsible and experienced, and they handle the accounts very well. But as the owner, we can't just sit back and do nothing. We have to check on the accounts regularly."
Jiang Suining closed the account book in front of him, stood up and walked to the table beside him, pouring a cup of tea for himself and Shen Yanxi.
"Father and mother are here today."
"I know. I've heard about it from the servant." Shen Yanxi took the teacup but did not drink it immediately. "Is it because of Prince Su's matter?"
"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded. "Father and mother felt that Prince Su had come with bad intentions, and they were worried, so they wanted to persuade me to let go and stop interfering in the affairs of the Women's Academy."
Jiang Suining spoke frankly about the previous conversation.
After listening to this, Shen Yanxi finally took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I'm glad you're not angry."
Jiang Suining tilted her head slightly and looked at him with a smile, "So, husband, were you nervous just now?"
