Wen Yi was truly at a loss, unsure whether to enter the scene or leave. She even considered asking Aunt Luo or Butler Luo for clarification.
Did she actually host a banquet, but those guests didn't give her face to attend because they thought she was someone who had been sold into the Imperial Garden?
But upon closer reflection, it seems unlikely.
Even if she were a beggar on the street, as long as the second master of Yutingyuan married her, no guest would dare not attend any of the banquets he hosted.
Unless you don't want to live anymore.
Why is that...?
"Sister-in-law!"
While Wen Yi was lost in thought, the three children who had been making a ruckus suddenly noticed her.
The one who called her "sister-in-law" was the little girl.
The little girl was exquisitely beautiful, with particularly large, sparkling eyes. She became very excited when she saw Wen standing there, and smiled incredibly sweetly.
She immediately pounced on Wen Yi, hugged his leg, and looked up at him with great surprise.
"My new sister-in-law is so pretty!" the little girl said cutely and innocently.
Wen Yi seemed somewhat at a loss.
"Ruan Ruan, come here."
Two boys walked over, wearing matching tuxedos. Upon closer inspection, Wen Yi realized that the two boys looked exactly alike, only their demeanor was different.
One was cold as ice, with a particularly world-weary look in his eyes.
The other is a sunny, energetic boy who walks with a confident stride, clearly a physically strong and cheerful young man.
"Third brother, fourth brother, this is my new sister-in-law," Ruan Ruan said, turning around to the two boys.
The third brother glanced at Wen Yi with disdain, then stepped forward to pull Ruan Ruan away. However, Ruan Ruan clung to Wen Yi and wouldn't let go, so the eldest brother completely ignored him and turned to leave.
The fourth brother looked Wen Yi up and down, finding it quite novel.
"Hey, you're the one who was sold by your family to be my brother's wife." He spoke without restraint, circling around Wen Yi, then showing particular disgust.
“My second brother clearly doesn’t like this kind of girl. He likes cute, soft girls. You’re too proper. You look like an old lady with that stern face.”
The fourth brother shook his head, looking very disgusted.
"It's no fun if Ruan Ruan leaves." The fourth brother tried to pull Ruan Ruan away, but she refused to leave.
She looked at Wen Yi with bright, sparkling eyes.
Wen Yi sensed that the two boys didn't like him very much, and even looked down on him a bit.
But the little girl was like a little angel, clinging to her and not letting go, her eyes filled with joy, making Wen Yi want to give the little girl a smile.
I'm afraid that if I don't smile, I'll scare the children.
Wen Yi forced a smile, managing to put on a passable one.
She didn't know what the smile was all about, but it didn't scare the little girl at all; in fact, the little girl's smile widened even more.
"Ruanruan, let's go, I'm so bored, I'll play games with you." The fourth brother urged from the other end.
"I'm not leaving, I want to play with my new sister-in-law." Ruan Ruan insisted, hugging Wen Yi tightly and refusing to let go. "Second brother said that today is the new sister-in-law's welcome banquet, you can't be so rude as not to play with her."
"It's boring. What's so fun about it? I thought it would be really good, but it's just so-so. No wonder they said they would sell her over there."
The fourth brother's words were unpleasant to hear, and he didn't care what Wen Yi would think if she heard them.
Even the eldest brother looked up at Wen Yi and said, "Hey, let me tell you, the Imperial Garden is not like those other places. Don't cause trouble here, or act like any mistress of the house, or you'll be in big trouble..."
"Gu Laosi, if you talk like that, believe me or not I'll tell your second brother!"
The girl who had been staring blankly at the cocktail finally came over, hands on her hips, with a fierce expression.
Ruan Ruan patted the fourth brother on the shoulder and said, "Fourth brother is bad. He's not nice to his new sister-in-law. Be careful, or I'll tell on you!"
"Alright, alright, you guys go have fun by yourselves."
The fourth brother was annoyed by the two men's harsh words, so he simply clapped his hands and left, ignoring everything.
Whatever.
Wen Yi remained silent throughout the entire process.
The main problem is that I haven't adapted yet.
Everyone outside knows that the Second Master of the Imperial Garden is a devil, and the Imperial Garden is an even more devilish territory. Who would have thought that there are these people in the Imperial Garden!
Judging from the way they're addressed, they must be the younger brother or sister of that second master?
