Wushuang said as she walked in, "I didn't expect my sister to get up so early. I'm so sorry that I came back so late."
"It's all our Marquis' fault. He dawdled this morning and wasted some time." Wushuang said with a look of reproach, "And then I ran into the prince before leaving. We exchanged a few words and wasted time."
"I'm so sorry for keeping grandma, father, and mother waiting for so long." Wushuang looked as if she was very apologetic, but in fact, her tone did not sound that apologetic.
How could she possibly feel sorry?
Can she return to her parents' home before 9:00 PM? It's already very early, okay?
[Hehe, when my eldest sister came back home, she didn't get home until 10:30 pm. I got home before 10:00 pm, which was really fast.]
"Greetings, old lady, father-in-law and mother-in-law." Shangguan Sui bowed politely to the elders.
Originally, he should have been of the same generation as Zhang's father, but now that he married Zhang's father's daughter, he has become the younger generation.
Father Zhang smiled as he watched Shangguan Sui salute. He felt very happy to be treated as a junior by someone of the same generation as him.
Zhang's father pulled Shangguan Sui aside to talk, and brothers Zhang Rui and Zhang Xie had to join him.
Of course, Wushuang, the married girl, was taken away by her grandmother, who taught her how to be a good wife and mother.
He also told her implicitly that she had to get rid of the prince Shangguan Ya, otherwise what would happen to the child she had given birth to?
Wushuang: “…”
Putting aside other things, based on Shangguan Sui's ability, if he had other children, the emperor could actually confer titles of nobility on his other children.
There have been powerful military generals in history. The emperor valued them, and in addition to inheriting the military general's title, the emperor also conferred the title of nobility on his children.
Her Marquis is so powerful. Could it be that after the title of Marquis of Changping was inherited by Shangguan Ya, he was unable to earn titles for his other children?
"This Marquis of Changping hasn't taken a wife or concubine for many years. You'd better be careful."
Wushuang listened calmly to the advice of his grandmother and mother, and Zhang Wusi felt a hint of schadenfreude amidst his envy and jealousy.
Wushuang looked at Zhang Wusi and said, "Sister Wusi is engaged, right? When is the wedding?"
"Which family did Sister Wusi choose? It should be the eldest son of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion, right?" Wushuang said with a smile, "The eldest son of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion is said to be a talented and romantic man."
The Qingyang Earl's Mansion was a noble family, and they were military generals at the beginning of the founding of the country.
But after several generations, the Bo family has gradually changed its status and can now be said to be a family of scholars.
The current Earl of Qingyang also passed the imperial examination and became a second-class Jinshi.
The eldest son of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion also has a reputation as a talented man.
But in fact, the eldest son of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion is a talented and romantic man.
He would often attend poetry gatherings with his friends, and the courtesans from brothels would be invited to these gatherings.
The courtesans invited were all famous prostitutes who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
For these "talented men", such a beautiful woman who is well versed in poetry and literature is not an ordinary brothel girl.
So what if they hired an oiran?
If the news gets out, it will only add a bit of reputation to their reputation as romantics, and will not affect their imperial examination careers.
Of course, it is impossible to hide the actions of the eldest son of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion from others.
But the Zhang family didn't think this was a problem at all. To them, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
What's wrong with playing with the courtesan while attending a poetry reading?
As long as you don't carry the brothel's most beautiful girl home, it won't be a problem.
Zhang Wusi's expression turned ugly after hearing Wushuang's words.
The other members of the Zhang family didn't care whether the eldest son of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion was a playboy or not, but Zhang Wusi definitely didn't care.
She is a very possessive person.
She, Wushuang, and other brothers and sisters in the family are all competing for the favor of the elders. How could she be willing to share her husband with others?
Zhang Wusi was very angry about the romantic affair of the eldest son of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion.
She had been jealous before because Wushuang's fiancé was Shangguan Ya. That guy had never been involved in any romantic rumors in the past 18 years and was very clean.
When Zhang Wusi learned that Shangguan Ya returned with another woman after his disappearance and threatened to marry no one but her, he felt very gloating.
Who would have thought that things would turn out differently in the end, and Wushuang would marry Shangguan Sui, Shangguan Ya's father.
This person is truly self-disciplined. Even though he is in his early thirties, his backyard is still clean.
And he is a marquis.
Not the prince, but the marquis.
This made Zhang Wusi even more jealous.
Thinking about her fiancé and then thinking about Wushuang's husband, how could she not be jealous?
"I heard that the eldest young master of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion went to Baihua Tower yesterday and spent a huge amount of money to compete with others for the most popular flower?" Wushuang said to Zhang Wusi with a smile.
"What are you talking about? Is this kind of dirty thing something a lady like you should say out loud?" Old Madam Zhang scolded with a stern face.
She felt sorry for her beloved granddaughter, and she didn't want people to think that she had bad taste and chose a bad husband for Zhang Wusi.
Besides, how could they, ladies of noble families, mention such vulgar people as prostitutes?
Wushuang said calmly, "Even if this is a dirty thing, it's not something I did. Why would grandma be so cold to her granddaughter?"
"If Grandmother is dissatisfied, you can go and reprimand Sister Wusi's fiancé. After all, it was he who did this dirty thing."
Old Madam Zhang choked.
How could she scold the eldest young master of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion?
Even if that was her future grandson-in-law, they weren't married yet after all. How could she scold someone else's child?
However, what the eldest young master of the Qingyang Earl's Mansion did was too much, and she could indeed ask Zhang Wusi's brothers to warn him.
How could you do such a shameful thing?
Where does this put the Zhang family's reputation?
Wushuang looked at Madam Zhang's gloomy face, lowered his head and smiled slightly.
The Zhang family's reputation?
The Zhang family has lost its reputation long ago, okay?
After Shangguan Ya insisted on breaking off the engagement, she insisted on marrying Shangguan Sui, and then the Zhang family followed her wishes, the Zhang family's reputation among the wealthy families plummeted, okay?
Fortunately, when she got married, the emperor came in person to serve as Shangguan Sui's father-in-law, otherwise the Zhang family's reputation would have been completely shattered.
"I haven't told you yet. When is Sister Wusi getting married?" Wushuang looked at Zhang Wusi and asked, "Sister Wusi is less than a year younger than me. My sister is already married, so your wedding shouldn't be too far away, right?"
Logically speaking, there was no need for the Zhang family to marry off two daughters in a short period of time.
But who made Zhang Wusi so close to her age?
"Second sister, you don't need to worry. My younger sister's wedding date will be taken care of by her parents, grandparents and grandparents." Zhang Wusi said to Wushuang with a forced smile.
"Sister, what I said is because I care about you."
"Your future brother-in-law is so unreliable. I'm worried that you won't have a good life after marriage. We are sisters with a deep affection, so please don't doubt my sincerity." Wushuang looked at her sincerely and said.
Zhang Wusi: “…” What a joke of sisterly love!
