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...
Chapter 453 You don't know the seriousness of the matter
Yu Tingwan finally understood.
The happiness of the banquet belongs to others, and the sadness belongs to her, Father Shen, and those greedy relatives of the Shen family.
She thought that she had a brief resonance with those who forced themselves to laugh.
Outside, you have to save face for Wei Zhao.
The virtuous wife Yu Tingwan didn't hit him.
She narrowed her eyes, lowered her head and stared at Wei Zhao for a moment, and her white hand gently rested on his shoulder, doing nothing.
The man's body stiffened.
Yu Tingwan was gentle: "What's wrong?"
Wei Zhao said faintly: "I was scared."
"Who scared you?"
"Xiao Huaiyan's voice was too loud."
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath.
She turned her head and whispered to Xiao Huaiyan: "You are finished, do you know?"
Xiao Huaiyan knew it too well.
Wei Zhao is miserable!
Wei Zhao will definitely deal with him.
But he is so mean that he likes to drag Wei Zhao into the water.
Worth it!
Yu Tingwan didn't look at the expressions of several people, and chuckled.
"Sir Shen."
Father Shen, who was suddenly named, was startled.
He hurriedly bowed to Yu Tingwan: "What do you want, Madam?"
"It's not a command."
Yu Tingwan smiled: "I'm just glad for you."
"Luckily, Chu Liulang, whom you arranged for your beloved daughter in a moment of confusion, didn't work out. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a good marriage now."
The guests present didn't say anything about the words "confused for a moment", but they all knew it.
Who doesn't know what kind of person this Sir Shen is!
Yu Tingwan spoke in a calm tone.
"Prince Xiao is the legitimate son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. Although the Loyal and Brave Marquis is annoyed that he is not motivated enough, he still loves him."
"Logically speaking, today the Xiao family should invite the respected elders of the Xiao family to accompany us."
But the Loyal and Brave Marquis was born in the grassroots, and he got to this position with his fists and the support of Wei Fengyuan in the early years.
The Xiao family is not a family of noble origin, and its foundation is not deep enough.
Some uncles and elders did, but they were afraid of showing their weakness in big occasions, and they were also afraid of not doing well enough and ruining the good things.
But Yu Tingwan didn't mention these.
She said in a gentle voice: "But the loyal and brave marquis values your daughter, and wants to give enough pomp to make today's engagement more dignified and glorious, so he invited my husband to make this trip." Everyone
present was jealous.
Who can afford to invite Wei Zhao in ordinary families!
Even if he was invited, he would not accept.
Who doesn't know that the loyal and brave marquis values Wei Zhao and talks about him every day, wishing to steal him back to be his son?
Wei Zhao was at the border, and he often took care of the Shunguo Mansion. So Wei Zhao accepted this favor and dragged his sick body to make this trip.
As soon as everyone had this thought, they heard the general's wife's gentle voice.
"Although my husband is not in good health, he also wants to get some of the good luck."
Everyone:?
The look in their eyes looking at Yu Tingwan was suddenly wrong. This young lady of the Shunguo Mansion is really good at talking.
"So..."
Yu Tingwan paused.
"With such good relatives, Lord Shen's ancestors are really proud."
Everyone? ? ?
? It seems... she is not very good at talking.
No, she is one person pulling down and another one praising.
Yu Tingwan glanced at the relatives of the Shen family. Not surprisingly, some people looked evasive, some were angry, and some were embarrassed.
"Miss Shen exposed the ugly faces of the relatives of the Shen family, but she did not name them on the spot, which can be regarded as leaving them a way out. In the future, in addition to some favors, we can continue to have formal exchanges."
Everyone followed her thoughts and nodded in understanding.
Although it was a bit against the rules.
Yu Tingwan's words were sincere: "She is filial and afraid that people will ask Lord Shen for help in the future. You are a good person and it is difficult to refuse, so you don't hesitate to bring it up at this juncture, and you are not afraid that others will laugh at her for not knowing the occasion. It can be said that you have good intentions."
Everyone:... ah.
So... it's like this?
A caring little cotton jacket?
Yu Tingwan: "You are so lucky to have such a daughter."
"By the way, since Prince Xiao protects Miss Shen so much, I think he will respect you as much as Miss Shen does in the future."
She said meaningfully: "Your good days...are still to come?"
Shen's father: ...
torture him together?
He was not moved at all, and even his eyes went dark and he almost fainted. He was afraid that he would have no good days in the future.
Yu Tingwan felt much more comfortable.
Sure enough, human happiness is built on the suffering of others.
Xiao Huaiyan was refreshed and pushed Wei Zhao to the main courtyard.
On the way, Wei Zhao looked at him with an indescribable look.
"You're done."
Xiao Huaiyan: "What, are you going to deal with me?"
Xiao Huaiyan was very confident: "My sister-in-law has always been good to me, she will only vent her anger on you."
Tsk.
If Yu Tingwan hadn't remembered the help of County Magistrate Xiao in her previous life, how could she have always looked at Xiao Huaiyan differently! So much
so that when Xiao Huaiyan borrowed money before, Yu Tingwan was particularly generous to him, and even worried from time to time that he had no money.
When Xiao Huaiyan had more money in his hands, he returned the favor many times and gave Yu Tingwan a lot of good treasures.
He thought he had a deep friendship with Yu Tingwan.
Xiao Huaiyan: "I'm sorry, brother."
He even mocked: "You too, how dare you laugh?"
Wei Zhao played with the ring in his hand: "I laughed, I couldn't help it, I deserve to be punished."
"But you don't know the seriousness of the matter."
Xiao Huaiyan heard the hidden meaning in his words: "Why? Does my sister-in-law really want to do something to me?"
"She won't."
Xiao Huaiyan was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
He said it!
Wei Zhao added slowly: "Do it yourself."
"If you don't believe it, go back now."
Xiao Huaiyan was skeptical, and he could see Wei Zhao's gloating expression, and he was inexplicably startled.
————
Yu Tingwan didn't go to the main courtyard with them, and sat down casually.
The maid of the Shen Mansion came to deliver the meal, first with fruits and snacks, and then with delicacies.
"Sister-in-law."
Ning Yunling came to her side.
"Aren't you angry? Why didn't you get angry just now? You even considered the overall situation and helped them teach Lord Shen a lesson to smooth things over?"
"I think Xiao Huaiyan is very unhappy. He has been suffering from no chance. On the way here, he laughed at me for being alone."
Yu Tingwan didn't see any anger on his face, wondering: "But you are, aren't you?"
That's right.
Ning Yunling:?
"Sister-in-law!"
"You are my real sister-
in-law!" "Don't look at me fooling around, but I respect you in everything!"
Yu Tingwan agreed with this.
The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, she did not hesitate to praise Ning Yunling: "You are very obedient."
"Even if you cause trouble, you don't do much, but you are still considerate to me."
That's right! Ning
Yunling nodded.
Yu Tingwan: "Much better than your brother."
Ning Yunling hesitated: "This... No."
Yu Tingwan did not allow him to feel inferior: "You are simple."
Ning Yunling nodded.
Yu Tingwan: "Your brother is often insidious."
If someone else said this, Ning Yunling would have punched him.
But when Yu Tingwan said that, Ning Yunling... shamefully agreed!
Yu Tingwan: "You are unpolished and harmless."
Ning Yunling nodded heavily.
Yu Tingwan: "Your brother... let's not talk about him."
Ning Yunling: ! !
Really, no one has ever praised him as better than Wei Zhao!
Only sister-in-law! ! !
He was deeply moved.
Waiting for Yu Tingwan to continue praising him.
But... Yu Tingwan racked her brains and couldn't come up with any praise.
She paused for a while, and under Ning Yunling's expectant gaze, she told him.
"You are younger than him."
