Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 261: Disrupting the Family

Chapter 261: Disrupting the Family

Wen Ruyue was angry and left, and Wen Yan also returned to Tinglanyuan.

Looking at the familiar yard, she felt as if she was in another world.

When she was driven to Lvwu Pavilion, she only took her underwear with her.

No jewelry or ornaments were taken away.

Everything in her courtyard is extraordinary.

Wen Ruyue's aesthetic sense is not good enough, and even if she rearranges it, it may not be as pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, everything here was carefully collected by Wen Yan over the past fifteen years, and it took her countless efforts.

Wouldn’t Wen Yan be even more miserable if she used these things herself?

Wen Ruyue has lived here for less than a year and a half, and the yard still retains the style she arranged it.

The courtyard is planted with precious flowers and plants that she and Meng Chifei collected from all over Dayong. Any one of them is worth a hundred taels of silver.

Even though Wen Ruyue was already married, Jiang Xinkui still ordered someone to look after the yard and take care of the flowers and plants.

It is midsummer now, with flowers in full bloom and butterflies fluttering around.

Wen Yan first walked around the yard, picking up one of the precious flowers with her left hand and then one with her right hand.

The servants in the yard were so anxious that they stamped their feet and shouted at Wen Yan to stop picking them.

Wen Yan refused to listen, and they threatened her: "If the eldest lady finds out, you, the second lady, will have no way to explain."

Wen Yan glanced at the man and snorted coldly.

Soon, Wen Yan made a big bouquet of flowers.

The beautiful flower garden was instantly ruined by her.

She tied the flowers into a ball and threw it to Pei'er: "Use it as a shuttlecock."

"Okay!" Pei'er caught the bouquet and kicked it like a shuttlecock.

The delicate petals could not withstand the destruction and fell down.

After kicking it twice, it became boring. Pei'er threw the bouquet on the ground and stepped on it, ruining it beyond recognition.

Wen Yan was very satisfied.

Pointing to the hoe in the flowerbed, Pei'er said: "Dig up these flowers and plants and take them all away tomorrow."

Most of the flowers and plants were specially found by Sister Chi Fei and given to her, so how could they be given to the Wen family for free?

"Okay!" Pei'er picked up the hoe and started working.

The maid in the yard was frightened and tried to stop them but failed. She quickly gave them a look and asked them to go get help.

Wen Yan turned and went into the house.

Wen Yan walked around the room.

The room was also very well kept and spotless.

The bedding is changed every day, so Wen Ruyue can move in directly no matter when she comes back.

She turned around and the plum vase on the flower table fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The maid who followed in to serve was so frightened that she shuddered.

That was the eldest lady's favorite plum vase, and it was ruined just like that.

If the young lady knew about this, she would definitely beat them to death.

Wen Yan sat down at the table, poured herself some tea and took a sip.

She shook her wrist and spilled all the tea onto the screen.

The dark tea stains left a large stain on the white silk and colorful embroidery thread.

This screen was also completely destroyed.

Wen Yan spent a year embroidering this screen, which is made of fine sandalwood.

Someone once wanted to buy it for a thousand taels of silver, but Wen Yan refused to pay.

She had been keeping it in the warehouse, intending to leave it for Meng Chifei's dowry when she got married, but in the end, it ended up being given to Wen Ruyue.

Since it has been defiled by Wen Ruyue, she doesn't want this screen anymore.

The maid was almost crying with fear: "Second Miss, this is the eldest lady's yard. If you destroy the things inside, you won't be able to pay for it if the eldest lady holds you accountable!"

"pay?

Everything valuable in this room belongs to me.

Go ask Wen Ruyue, does she dare to fart at me now?"

Wen Yan threw the Ru kiln teacup in his hand to the ground, and it shattered immediately.

The housekeeper trembled with heartache.

This is the eldest lady's favorite tea set. It is priceless and cannot be bought with money.

If the young lady knew about this, their lives would be in danger!

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the yard: "Ah... my yard, my flowers and plants! Wen Yan, I will fight you."

Then, Wen Ruyue rushed into the room.

He bared his fangs and claws at Wen Yan.

Jiang Xinkui followed closely behind.

Wen Yan said, "What I dropped and shoveled were all my own things. Now that I'm married, is there any problem with taking my own things with me?"

"What do you mean by yours? These are all from the Wen family. My parents gave them to me, so they are mine."

"How shameless! Why don't you take a look at the Meng family's gift list before you say such shameless things." Wen Yan sneered, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

Wen Ruyue: “…”

Is there poison on Wen Yan’s little mouth?

Every word pierced her heart.

After Wen Yan stabbed Wen Ruyue's heart, she looked at Jiang Xinkui and said, "Mother, should it be okay for me to take my things with me?"

The Meng family members were still present, so Jiang Xinkui had no choice but to agree.

Wen Yan didn't expect Jiang Xinkui to give in so easily.

She felt a little regretful about destroying the plum vase and screen. She thought she could get a lot of silver if she sold them.

Jiang Xinkui felt so heartbroken when she thought about what she was going to lose.

After a while, she made an excuse to leave.

Wen Ruyue followed behind, looking at Jiang Xinkui's back.

She knew that her mother only cared about her father and brother's future.

If a married woman cannot bring benefits and advantages to her parents' home, she can be abandoned at any time.

Just like now.

Just because Wen Yan attached herself to Concubine Gong, my mother let Wen Yan trample on her own dignity.

Since her mother is unwilling to help her, she might as well do it herself.

She had to get her hands on the spices.

Of course, this is not enough.

She must find that pot of 'Suguan Lotus Ding'.

Originally, she was still hoping for a lucky break, and since she couldn't find the 'Suguan Lotus Tripod', she would use the famous flowers in Tinglan Courtyard as a last resort.

Now everything has been ruined by Wen Yan.

She was determined to get the 'Suguan Heding'.

No matter how much it costs, she is willing to do it!

After there were no other people in the room, Wen Yan asked the woman's name.

Only then did she realize that she was not a servant of the Meng family.

It was the wife of General Meng's personal guard, whose surname was Sun and name was Xuehe.

She is smart and knows kung fu, so Madam Bai asked her to protect Wen Yan for a few days.

Wen Yan bowed to her and said, "Aunt Sun, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Dinner time.

The servant came to call Wen Yan to go to the main courtyard for dinner.

Wen Yan came here with the intention of causing unrest in the Wen family, so he went there immediately.

Jiang Xinkui and his wife, Wen Ruyue and Wen Zeduan were all there.

Probably because of what he heard about Jiang Xinkui's 'Lotus Appreciation Banquet', Wen's father was very enthusiastic towards Wen Yan.

In both words and deeds, they said it was a misunderstanding.

He also asked Wen Yan to say a few good words for him in front of Concubine Gong so that her position could be moved up.

Wen Yanbang was in a dilemma: "In the eyes of Concubine Gong, I am just a little cat and dog who can only embroider. I will accept any reward from her. If I rush to ask for favors, wouldn't it be arrogant and make people dislike me?

It’s okay for Concubine Gong to be angry with me, but if she is angry with my father or the Wen family, I’m afraid…”

How could Wen's father not hear Wen Yan's sarcasm? His face turned red and he shut his mouth awkwardly.

After sitting down, Wen Yan focused on eating.

Wen Ruyue also took the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks about her, saying that she was like a starving ghost who had never had a full meal in her life.

Wen Yan listened with one ear and out with the other, looking as if he would not listen.

When she was about 70% full and wiped her mouth gracefully, she began to fight back.

Wen Yan made a big fuss about the "selling of wedding dress" incident.

She started with the girl's reputation, then talked about her brother Wen Zeduan's path to the imperial examination, then talked about Wen's father's official career, and finally involved the family's decline.

Finally, the fruit was pinned on Wen Ruyue.

The key point is that Wen Yan speaks in a coherent way.

The Wen family just sneered, thinking that Wen Yan's methods of causing trouble and discord were too clumsy.

only.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep.

Wen's father and Wen Zeduan were lying on the bed.

The words that Wen Yan said appeared in their minds.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Wen Yan said was logical and reasonable.

Wen Ruyue, who made things so big, was deeply remembered in her heart.

at the same time.

An uninvited guest came to Tinglan Courtyard.
