Chapter 98 Shen Feiyan
Chen Xiangxiu met with her family, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she didn't see Shen Feiyan.
After all, it was with the help of the County Governor's Mansion that the Shen family slowly transformed from a third-rate family to a first-rate family in Liang County. Shen Feiyan liked her son so much, why did she close the door to him when he came today?
She heard that her son was not a good person, so she deliberately hid herself.
She had no objection if other families did this, but Chen Xiangxiu was really heartbroken that her own niece also treated her son so disrespectfully.
I deliberately asked, "Where's Feiyan? Why can't I see her?"
Chen Xiangxiu's second brother looked embarrassed and looked at his wife, Lu, motioning her to answer.
Ye Tingxiao sat aside and talked to his eldest uncle. He saw the interaction between his second uncle and second aunt, but he didn't say anything and just watched coldly.
His mother was destined to run into a wall when she came here today, and he was deliberately accompanying her to run into a wall. Only in this way could he discourage his mother from arranging a marriage for him.
Mrs. Lu no longer had the enthusiasm she had in the past, and replied calmly, "Fei Yan caught a cold and is resting in the room."
Anyone can tell how fake this careless excuse is. Chen Xiangxiu is also the daughter of a noble family, and she has learned a lot about the messy private affairs of the harem.
She has the ability to say different things to different people, but she didn't expect that her brother and sister-in-law would do the same to her.
Shen Feiyan had said to her many times before that if she didn't get married, she would stay with her aunt until old age.
At that time, I heard her hidden meaning and thought she was right. If I really married her son, I would be able to accompany her until old age.
My son has an engagement in Kyoto, so even if I want to take my niece in, I have to wait until he is officially married. Unexpectedly, before he is married, Yang Yurong is involved with the King of Qi.
Her son had contracted the disease again, and the news spread everywhere in Liangjun City, saying that her son would not be able to marry a noble lady from an aristocratic family in the future.
She wanted to prove herself to others, so she brought her son to visit her mother's house. Shen Feiyan had always said that she was loyal, so she should accept her son!
But when he came, he was met with a cold. Chen Xiangxiu was angry and spoke rudely: "Catch a cold? I'm afraid you don't dare to come to see my Zhongyuan!"
Seeing that she was angry, Madam Lu sneered sarcastically: "Sister, you are wrong. Feiyan has indeed not recovered from the cold, so it is inconvenient for her to come out to see you."
Chen Xiangxiu raised her eyes to look at Lu, then turned to look at her second brother: "Really?"
The second brother of the Shen family nodded awkwardly and said against his conscience, "Really."
Ye Tingxiao observed quietly without saying anything. He didn't care whether it was true or not. Chen Feiyan was not his type, and it didn't matter to him whether she had a cold or not.
"As long as he's not dead, the cold doesn't matter." Chen Xiangxiu wanted to test the feelings of his second brother and second sister-in-law, and then said, "I came here today to ask my second brother, how about promising Feiyan to my Zhongyuan?"
Mrs. Lu refused outright: "No, my Feiyan is too high to be her."
Ye Tingxiao laughed happily: "Second aunt is right, it is indeed out of reach. Cousin Feiyan's arrogant and domineering personality makes her unworthy of the position of mistress of a family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Feiyan came out angrily from behind the screen: "Cousin! Leave your position as mistress to someone else! I don't want it. You've become a useless person, and you still come to my house to show off. What are you being pretentious about?"
Chen Xiangxiu could still understand why others said his son was a useless person, because after all, they were all outsiders.
This is what my niece from my mother's side said to the man who used to want to marry into her family. It's really hateful that he is hitting someone where it hurts.
Ye Tingxiao's face was calm and composed, showing no sign of anger at being ridiculed in person. Instead, he commented objectively, "Cousin! Don't be upset. I'm telling you the truth. The position of the Princess of Pingyang is really not suitable for you."
Chen Feiyan was furious: "You think I am precious, so what if she is the Princess of Pingyang? No matter how glorious she is, she will be a widow for the rest of her life."
Chen Xiangxiu looked at Shen Feiyan disappointedly: “You really don’t want it?”
Shen Feiyan was still a little intimidated by this aunt, lowered her eyebrows and replied in a low voice: “Yes! Feiyan has no talent or virtue, and is not worthy of the noble position of the prince’s consort.”
Ye Tingxiao sat aside, watching indifferently, feeling that the medicine Du Wanwan gave him was really effective. After trying it, all the evil spirits revealed their true colors.
Easily removed the stumbling block for him.
No noble lady would have any idea of courting him from now on. If his "illness" was cured by Du Wanwan, and he asked to marry her then, I believe his mother would not object.
Shen Feiyan's parents sat aside, silent, clearly disapproving of their daughter jumping into the fire pit of Ye Tingxiao.
"Huh!" Chen Xiangxiu sneered, "Fei Yan! Who is so shameless as to say that he would stay in our Ye family forever? You changed your mind so quickly? Your cousin has some health problems, but you think he can't be cured in his lifetime?"
Mrs. Lu had a gloomy face and looked disdainful: "Cure? When will it be cured? Sister, don't try to cover up your mistake. People outside say that Zhongyuan's illness may never be cured in this lifetime. I only have this one daughter, how can I watch her suffer for the rest of her life?"
Shen Feiyan was also angry: "If my aunt loved me a little, she shouldn't have come to force me today. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. If my cousin is full of energy, he will naturally be a dragon among men and be admired by others.
Now that it has become like this, even if he has the status of a prince, it is still a pity. If you ask any girl with a little family background in Liang County, who is willing to marry into the county governor's mansion. "
After hearing this, the sneer on Chen Xiangxiu's face intensified a bit. She realized that what Chen Feiyan had said to her in the past was all false and not credible at all.
If it weren't for her son's accident this time, she would still be in the dark. She didn't expect that her niece, who was well-behaved, cute, smiling, always running to the county governor's mansion and always loving to make her happy, was actually plotting against her marriage.
"You are right. It was my aunt who was delusional. I thought that you were sincere in your past feelings, but I didn't expect that it was all fake. It was my aunt who was blind and believed your sweet words in the past."
The eldest brother of the Shen family knew that Chen Xiangxiu was sad, and hurried to comfort her: "Sister! Don't worry about your nephew's matter. Maybe one day he will meet a miracle doctor and the disease will be cured."
Although Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, she snorted coldly. The meaning was very clear, it was a naked mockery.
Chen Xiangxiu raised her eyes and glared at Lu: "Second sister-in-law! What my elder brother said is very right, don't be unconvinced. Let's wait and see, my Zhongyuan's illness will definitely be cured one day in the future."
Before Lu spoke, Shen Feiyan spoke first: "Then congratulations to my aunt and cousin. Feiyan is waiting for the day when my cousin recovers and waiting to see him marry the prince's concubine."
Chen Xiangxiu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and rushed over, slapped Shen Feiyan in the face, and said hello to Ye Tingxiao: "Let's go!"
