With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
The spring scenery is beautiful.
The banquet was set up in the garden, divided into male and female seats.
The left side is for men, and the right side is for women.
Yu Tingwan sat down and drank a sip of flower tea, and asked: "Did Prince Xiao and Prince Zhou have any grudges before?"
Shen Zhiyi sat down next to her.
"Yes."
She looked around and didn't see the bitch, so she spoke casually.
"Xiao Huaiyan is a famous playboy. He always ranked second to last in the Imperial College exams, you know."
Yu Tingwan knew.
Xiao Huaiyan did it on purpose, always lowering his score and always ranking second to last! He is also a character.
Shen Zhiyi: "Zhou Xuan is the one who ranked last."
Yu Tingwan: ...
"Zhou Xuan always ranked last, making a lot of jokes, and some people even called him a waste in private."
"He wanted to avenge his previous shame, but he couldn't keep up with the knowledge and was unwilling to work hard, so he cheated in the Imperial College exam."
Yu Tingwan: "Did Prince Xiao... expose him?"
"That's not the case."
Shen Zhiyi: "Prince Xiao just asked loudly in front of the teacher, and asked classmates to be more generous and ask if he could borrow the cheat sheet."
Yu Tingwan: ...
"It's also ridiculous. Even Duke Zhou had to be careful in front of General Wei, but he dared to show his face to you just now. You should be able to see that he is a fool."
Yu Tingwan leaned back and said nonchalantly: "I knew it a long time ago."
"He is not that good. I also know that he has done a lot of insidious things in private, but this bastard is also pitiful."
Shen Zhiyi felt that there was something behind his words.
"What do you mean?"
Yu Tingwan: "You want to know?"
Shen Zhiyi nodded.
Sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone.
"The wife was picked up by someone else, and the child is not his. Don't you think it's pitiful?"
Shen Zhiyi: ? ? !
She stood up suddenly and lost her voice: "What!"
Yu Tingwan glanced calmly and saw that Mrs. Chu was surrounded by people talking not far away.
She tried to concentrate and listen.
"Yes, my Liu Lang will get married in the spring of next year. You must go to the wedding to have a drink."
"Yu Rou is a good child with a gentle temperament. I am particularly satisfied with her."
This is interesting.
Is it a roundabout way to say that Shen Zhiyi in front has a bad temper?
Yu Tingwan said faintly: "Speak more quietly, is it brilliant?"
Isn't it? Because of Shen Zhiyi's action just now, many people around looked over.
Especially Mrs. Chu's eyes were picky.
But Shen Zhiyi didn't care for the first time. The shock on her face couldn't be hidden. She suppressed her excitement and sat down again.
I don't know what happened. There was no evidence, but she actually believed Yu Tingwan's words.
She didn't know how to restrain herself: "Who doesn't want it?"
Her tone was gloating.
"What's the shame?"
"It's not me who is shameful!"
"That Madam Chu has complained about my vulgarity many times before. Her daughter has an affair with someone else, which is more elegant?"
Yu Tingwan was about to speak, but at this moment, a girl in blue came over with a smile, bowed and introduced herself.
"Madam Wei."
She was dressed very elegantly.
"I am the second daughter of the Yao family in the residence of the Minister of Justice. I feel close to the general's wife when I see her. I think it's fate."
Yu Tingwan looked at her.
From the residence of the Minister of Justice?
That must be the biological sister of the second prince's wife Yao Ru.
It's strange.
Her biological sister had almost died when giving birth to a child, but she, the younger sister, didn't even go to see her. They were friends since childhood.
But he actually got along with her?
Yes, the Minister of Justice had visited Wei Zhao many times and asked for something.
Wei Zhao didn't see him on the grounds that he was not feeling well.
I'm afraid that the second girl of the Yao family is here to get close to him.
Shen Zhiyi: "Puff."
Yu Tingwan looked over: "What's wrong?"
Shen Zhiyi: "Nothing, I just couldn't help it. It's true that I heard someone mention not long ago that Miss Yao was gossiping about you behind your back."
"Oh, that's so ugly."
She said: "They said you were from the countryside and accused you of seducing General Wei with your face."
Yu Tingwan smiled.
"Nonsense!"
Miss Yao was so angry that she was afraid that Yu Tingwan would be angry. After all, her father told her before she left that she must have a good relationship with Madam Wei. She hurriedly said: "Who made up this about me! I didn't say that!"
Yu Tingwan heard Shen Zhiyi say.
"Zhou Yurou."
Yu Tingwan: ...
stimulating.
Shen Zhiyi wanted to add fuel to the fire, but...
"This..."
In just a moment, everyone present stood up.
Some bowed, some bowed. Even the noble
Lady of Duke Zhou, who was entertaining guests in front, noticed something unusual and left a female guest who was chatting and laughing, and walked forward quickly.
"Grand Tutor, Madam Grand Tutor. Why are you two here?"
She glared at the Duke of Zhou who came hurriedly.
"You kid, you didn't even let the servants pass on the message. I should have gone to greet them myself."
The Duke of Zhou felt wronged.
Not to mention that he was scared when he saw the Grand Tutor.
The Gu family came to the door and walked directly in. Could he stop them?
Jiashan said in a cold tone: "Why?"
Her aura directly suppressed Madam Zhou.
"Are you dissatisfied with my husband and I coming uninvited?"
"It's strange. You sent invitations to everyone, but my Gu family is missing. What's the matter? Do you think we are not qualified, or is the threshold of your Zhou family too high and we can't enter?"
"Or..."
Her eyes fell on Yu Tingwan who was sitting not far away and looking at this side, and the tenderness in her eyes seemed to overflow.
But when she looked at Madam Zhou again, her face changed directly.
"Or..."
She pointed it out directly, without any mercy.
"Some people do bad things in private that deserve to be punished by God, but the truth cannot be hidden, so why are the victims coming to their door?"
The air became thinner after these words.
Everyone was stunned, their eyes fixed on Duke Zhou and his wife and Gu and his wife.
Lady of Duke Zhou: "This..."
What happened?
In the past, Jiashan was arrogant and didn't like to talk to others.
But the two families were on good terms on the surface.
This is clearly coming to slap them in the face in public.
She suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be that someone in her family was blind and offended the Gu family?
This shouldn't be the case.
She quickly winked at Zhou Xuan, asking him to go and invite Duke Zhou.
Gu Fuju was stern and solemn, letting Jiashan attack.
It seemed that he didn't care at all, nor did he care about embarrassing the Zhou family.
Seeing that something was wrong over there, Shen Zhiyi pushed Yu Tingwan who was calm on the side.
"What's going on? They don't seem to be here to celebrate, they are clearly here to mess things up."
"What could it be?"
Yu Tingwan: "It's just revenge for those who have grudges, and complaints for those who have grievances."
Duke Zhou came quickly and greeted them with a smile.
"Fu Ju!"
Even though he was unhappy, he came over with a smile like a smiling tiger: "Thinking of your busy schedule, your wife rarely attends banquets, and the women at home are ignorant, so I neglected to send you an invitation. I will apologize to you now."
"I dare not."
Gu Fu Ju, who had been silent, said lightly.
"It's true that you are busy, but my husband and I are really worried when we know that Tingwan is here."
He was imposing and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "It's not easy to get her back, so we can't let her get into trouble under our noses again. Duke Zhou is always good at tricks. Gu, I'm afraid."
