This was lowkey painful to edit and translate, so please forgive the grammar (again).

The servant opened the door, and when he heard that Tang Shishi was coming, he was taken aback, and then sent a message inside: "Master, madam, Miss is back."

Tang Shishi was sitting in the car and laughed mockingly when he heard the doorman's words.

She has been away from home all these years, and they dare call Concubine Su, Madame? What a joke!

"Madame" is the honorary name given by the imperial court to an imperial madam, and it shouldn't be called casually. However, in recent years, the trend of extravagance and enjoyment has risen, and the whole people have sought gold and silver, and even officials and royal families have openly loaned money to open shops. As the world values ​​profits, ethics will decline, and restrictions on titles, clothing, etc. will gradually become less stringent.

The Tang family is one of them. If you have money in your family, you can count as three as three. (Chinese idiom meaning same same)

After the doorman went in to report, no one would come out to remove the threshold, and led Tang Shishi's carriage to stop at the second gate. After getting out of the car, Tang Shishi looked around, and sure enough, there was a sense of arrogance everywhere. Tang Mingzhe almost painted the word "rich" on the wall.

The maid led Tang Shishi to the main hall. As soon as she approached, Tang Shishi heard Tang Yanyan's exaggerated laughter coming from the room.

The maid lifted the curtain for Tang Shishi, and Tang Shishi stepped up to the threshold and saw the room full of gold and jade, magnificent and overwhelmimg. Tang Mingzhe and Concubine Su were sitting on the carved Grand Master's chair. Qi Jingsheng was sitting first in the guest seat. Tang Yanyan leaned close to Qi Jingsheng intimately. Seeing the posture, she wished wraped herself around Qi Jingsheng's arm.

When they saw Tang Shishi coming in, several people couldn't help standing up. Qi Jingsheng stared blankly, Concubine Su looked at her secretly, while Tang Yanyan was very contrived. She covered her mouth and deliberately asked loudly: "Big sister, how did you come?"

Tang Shishi swept around quickly, without seeing Lin Wanxi's figure, the expression on her face instantly became cold. She was in a bad mood and her tone could not be said to be friendly, and said: "The place I go out is far from here, and the road is blocked."

Tang Yanyan let out a long "Oh", and kindly rounded up the field for Tang Shishi: "My sister just came to the capital, and she must have not found a good home. She lives far away. It doesn't matter, sister, don't be embarrassed. The land price in the capital is really too high. It's expensive, but it's nothing if it's just expensive. There are some key areas that you can't buy if you have money."

Tang Shishi smiled and agreed, "Yes, I think so too."

Tang Yanyan was even happier. She stepped forward and took Tang Shishi's hand and complained: "It's really troublesome to live in Jinling. Fortunately, brother Qi passed the test of Juren, and mother asked to buy a house near the Imperial College."

Tang Shishi smiled and corrected her: "If you are referring to the your mother, you should call her Aunt."

As soon as Tang Shishi said this, the room became quiet. Finally, Tang Mingzhe coughed, and said: "Okay, let's sit down. Dinner will be served in a while, Ask the lady to come over for dinner."

The maid responded and turned and went outside. When Tang Shishi  heard Tang Mingzhe go to invite Lin Wanxi, the fire in his heart was temporarily suppressed.

Tang Shishi sat down with her skirt pressed down, Tang Mingzhe looked back, and did not see any man. Tang Mingzhe asked, "Shishi, where is your husband?"
