Confiscated and Exiled on Wedding Night, the Vicious Eldest Sister-in-Law Leads the Whole Clan to Feast

Su Huaiyue died suddenly from staying up late writing her thesis! Before she could even lament being a young genius envied by the heavens, she found herself transmigrated to a vast, boundless deser...

Chapter 290: The Fool's Compensation

Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet carried an unquestionable confidence.

After saying that, she turned slightly to admire herself in the mirror.

She was wearing a lavender brocade dress with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the hem. It swayed gently with her movements, like a flowing river of stars.

A small piece of snow-white skin was exposed at the neckline. Her neck was slender and graceful. The jade necklace she wore was rich and bright in color, which made her skin look even whiter than snow.

She raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, stood up, and her skirt spread out like ripples.

Afterwards, she and her maid boarded the carriage to the Wei family.

At the banquet, Wei Che stood tall and straight in front of everyone, a gentle and sincere smile on his face, his eyes full of apology: "Everyone, we are truly sorry for the misunderstanding that has befallen the Wei family and the inconvenience it has caused you. We are fully aware that you may still have doubts in your hearts, and we want to assure you that the Wei family has always been law-abiding and has absolutely no ill intentions. As a token of our apology, we will give each guest a can of our newly developed beauty cream, and we hope you will accept it."

His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall and making people feel at ease.

Su Huaiyue then stood up. She was dressed in a light blue dress, and her figure was graceful. She smiled at everyone, her eyes full of confidence. "This beauty cream is a new product developed by our Meiyan Pavilion. It is made by carefully brewing a variety of precious herbs and natural spices. Long-term use can not only nourish the skin, making it smoother and more delicate, but also lighten spots and delay aging. After using it, you will feel its magical effect."

She introduced it in detail, her every gesture showing elegance. Everyone nodded frequently as she listened, and the originally tense atmosphere gradually eased.

Jing Zhiwan stood aside, watching Wei Che and Su Huaiyue standing side by side, with a complicated emotion in her heart.

She bit her lip, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and she thought secretly: Why can Su Huaiyue and Wei Che have such a tacit understanding and deal with these things together?

Her eyes casually scanned the hall, trying to divert her attention.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed on a corner and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

It turned out to be Yan Shu. He was sitting in the corner, staring at Su Huaiyue on the stage, with a faint smile on his lips and admiration in his eyes.

Jing Zhiwan sat upright, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, covering the endless calculations in her eyes.

Next is the part of eating and enjoying the food.

The hall was filled with delicious food, the air was filled with fragrance, and everyone sat around together, laughing and talking happily.

To make the banquet more interesting, Su Huaiyue took out 50 boxes of facial masks that were a system reward and said with a smile, "To liven up the atmosphere, we've prepared some small games. There will be lantern riddles and leaf games, and the winners can enjoy our facial mask service."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested and were eager to try it out.

Everyone at the banquet was having a great time. When guessing lantern riddles, everyone racked their brains to come up with clever answers. When playing card games, some people frowned, thinking about their strategies, while others were chatting and laughing, as if they were sure of winning.

The atmosphere was extremely warm, with cheers and laughter coming one after another.

Wei Ersao hid behind the pillar in the hall, her eyes rolling around, closely following the movements of everyone at the banquet.

Everyone was either concentrating on guessing riddles, racking their brains to think of the answers; or immersed in the card game, beaming with joy over a good hand of cards. No one noticed her.

At this moment, she was secretly delighted and felt that the opportunity had come.

Recalling the scene when the officers and soldiers stormed into the Wei family's house with such momentum, Wei Ersao was still frightened.

Those officers and soldiers were like wolves and tigers, rummaging through the Wei family's drawers and cabinets, scaring everyone in the family into panic.

She was afraid that her stealing of silver and altering of the account books would be discovered, and she lived in fear all day long.

So today, she decided to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to "solve" the problem.

Mrs. Wei Er first stuck out half of her head and looked around furtively like a frightened mouse.

Her eyes were full of panic and vigilance. She did not miss any corner, and her ears were perked up, listening carefully to the sounds around her.

After making sure that no one nearby noticed her, she crouched down and walked cautiously towards the warehouse.

As she walked, she prayed silently in her heart that she would not be caught by anyone.

At this moment, her heart was beating like a drum, and the "bang bang bang" sound echoed in her ears, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

His forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

She raised her hands to wipe the sweat off her face, but found that her hands were also shaking slightly, and even her walking was a little unsteady.

Finally, Wei Ersao arrived at the door of the warehouse.

She took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door of the warehouse. The creaking sound sounded like thunder in her ears.

She shrank her neck nervously, and after confirming that there was no one around, she tiptoed in.

After entering the warehouse, Wei Ersao went straight to where the silver was hidden.

She squatted down, frantically picking apart the debris, and took out all the silver she had stolen before. She then carefully put the silver back to its place and sorted it out carefully to make sure there was nothing unusual.

After putting the silver away, she quickly found the account book and replaced the one she had secretly altered before.

She moved very quickly, but her eyes were always fixed on the door, afraid that someone would suddenly come in.

After doing all this, Wei Ersao stood up and brushed off the dust on her body.

She let out a long sigh, her tense shoulders finally relaxed, and a look of relief appeared on her face.

"Huh, finally done." She muttered softly, wiped the remaining sweat from her forehead with her hand, and then hurriedly left the warehouse, not forgetting to gently close the warehouse door and restore it to its original state.

However, Wei Ersao knew nothing about this.

She was fully convinced that her little action was unnoticed by anyone, but she didn't know that Lu Jin had been hiding behind a rockery nearby since the moment she stepped into the warehouse, and had seen her every move.

Lu Jin hid in the shadow of the rockery, his figure half hidden and half visible.

She leaned slightly to the side, trying to keep herself close to the stone wall of the rockery, for fear of accidentally revealing a flaw.

Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the warehouse, like a night owl staring at a mouse hole, not missing any details.

Lu Jin saw clearly every movement and every panicked look of Wei Ersao in the warehouse.

While Wei Ersao was busy in the warehouse, Lu Jin was secretly delighted and a smug look unconsciously appeared on her face, but she quickly restrained herself and continued to remain vigilant.

She frowned slightly, thinking about the deeper meaning behind Wei Ersao's actions, and various calculations were running rapidly in her mind.
