Chapter 26 Pay attention to the title
There is rarely a custom of dining together in wealthy families.
After all, there are so many families in each household, and they only get together during some happy events and festivals. On other days, each household eats in its own courtyard.
Today is unusual. I know without a doubt that Yu has no good intentions.
However, after all, the elders of the Marquis' Mansion were all there.
Liang Weiyuan didn't delay much. She asked Lan Shu and Ju Shu to guard the door where Huo Jin was meeting, and then went to the front hall.
After looking around briefly, she bowed.
"I have met my parents-in-law and am a little late in taking care of my husband. I hope they will forgive me."
The old lady seemed to be worshiping Buddha and did not show up. The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed quite harmonious.
Everyone had not touched their bowls and chopsticks yet. When they saw Liang Weiyuan arrive, Lord Huo stood up and pulled her to sit down.
"Wei Yuan, please sit down. Why are you being so polite? You've taken such great pains to take care of Jin Jian, and you're such a virtuous woman. How can I forgive you? It's a blessing for my Huo family to have you as our daughter-in-law."
Huo Hou spoke tactfully, but his smile seemed a little forced, and he looked carefully at Liang Weiyuan's expression.
"Wei Yuan, I've invited the whole family to have breakfast together today. Firstly, it's a family reunion for the happy events of both families, and secondly, I want Siyuan to apologize to you."
Marquis Huo only learned last night that Huo Siyuan was beaten and thrown out of the general's residence along with Liang Shanyu.
Yu was afraid that the news would be discredited if it got out, so she issued a strict order not to let the news leak out, and she kept it a secret from him.
It was only last night when Yu dragged Huo Siyuan to talk to him that he was so frightened that he pinched his philtrum and almost fainted.
The mother and son discussed that as the elders, they should intervene and help Huo Siyuan apologize to Liang Weiyuan and ease the relationship between the two families.
This is how today's breakfast came about.
Therefore, Marquis Huo did not dare to neglect Liang Weiyuan in the slightest.
After he finished speaking, Yu beside him also quickly responded with a smile.
"Yes, Weiyuan, it was Siyuan who wronged you first. He deserves to be beaten and kicked to learn a lesson."
"Siyuan started to reflect on his actions after returning yesterday. I wanted to go and apologize to you right away and clear up the misunderstanding, but this child has never suffered much since he was young. He was in so much pain yesterday that he couldn't get up, so I delayed."
These polite words are really nice to hear.
However, upon closer listening, everyone heard that Huo Siyuan, a noble man, was being bullied by Liang Weiyuan's family in the general's mansion.
He started defending me before he even apologized.
He shifted the blame in a roundabout way and finally put the blame on her in an attempt to make her feel guilty.
It was like singing an opera, as Yu finished speaking.
Huo Siyuan covered his bruised face and took a deep breath, staring at her, looking helpless and in pain.
Liang Weiyuan sneered in her heart as she watched.
She put down her chopsticks and spoke with a chill, "Mother, you were joking. There's no misunderstanding at all."
"Big brother took action to discipline Second Master on behalf of Mother. After all, on the wedding day, both families lost face. Second Master must be disciplined to prevent him from making serious mistakes in the future and bringing disgrace to the family."
After a pause, Liang Weiyuan looked at Yu and Huo Siyuan's gloomy and deflated faces, then she curled her lips coldly.
"Therefore, if we're talking about making apology, it should be Second Master who goes to the General's Mansion to make it. If he needs to apologize, he should do so. If he needs to kowtow and reflect on his sins, he should do so."
With the support of her mother's family, Liang Weiyuan's words hit them hard without mercy.
Suddenly, except for Liang Shanyu, everyone in the Huo family felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Seeing that Liang Weiyuan was unmoved, Yu couldn't get angry and could only pretend to slap Huo Siyuan.
"You bastard, look at what good things you have done. Even a good daughter-in-law like Wei Yuan has been pissed off by you!"
"Mother." Liang Weiyuan frowned and interrupted again.
Her tone was respectful, but the cold and majestic aura around her suddenly made people's spines stand straight.
"Wei Yuan is already the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family. She has nothing to do with the Second Master. Mother, please be careful with your words and don't be so unclear as to cause misunderstandings and speculations."
How can you make such a good daughter-in-law so angry?
She deliberately made her words so ambiguous that if you didn't know, you would think she was Huo Siyuan's wife and that the couple was having a quarrel.
Liang Weiyuan then turned her head and glanced coldly at Huo Siyuan, who looked unhappy and aggrieved. "Second Master, please pay attention to your address. You should call me your elder sister-in-law."
