Chapter 210 Serving Tea
Sun Xiucai looked embarrassed and looked at He Yanling angrily. With some dissatisfaction, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Luoxue, I can explain what happened today. It was an accident. He Yanling was not favored at home, so she often came to my mother's place. She seduced me because she saw that I was attracted by the scholar. I was also confused for a moment. Don't worry, I will send her away right away. I will never let you worry in the future. Go back to your room first, I will handle this."
How could Shen Luoxue be willing to do this? However, in such a public place, she would be the one who would be embarrassed in the end. Mother Qiu held her tightly to prevent her from being impulsive.
"Miss, let's go first. Let the Sun family handle this matter themselves."
When He Yanling heard this, she stood up excitedly and pushed Sun Xiucai.
"I seduced you? Cousin, you have to be honest when you say that. Who said you'd marry me when you graduated from high school? Over the years, I've washed your clothes, taken care of your daily needs, and taken care of your aunt at the Sun family. Now that you've climbed up the social ladder, you think you can get rid of me so easily? I'm telling you, that's impossible."
The people who came to watch the ceremony were talking about it and had seen enough jokes.
"He Yanling's belly is so big?"
"Yeah, I do know a little about this. He Yanling has been in the Sun family for several years. I thought the Sun family had made everything clear with the Shen family. But after all this time, it turns out they were hiding it from the Shen family."
"The concubine is pregnant before the wife even enters the house. If we don't hide this, how could the Shen family possibly agree to the marriage?"
"That's right. The eldest daughter of the Shen family is probably in trouble. Her life will be miserable from now on."
Shen Luoxue couldn't bear it any longer, and regardless of Mother Qiu's attempts to stop her, she tore off the veil.
"Sun family, you'd better handle the matter today. If you can't handle it well, this marriage will be cancelled. I, Shen Luoxue, am not a soft persimmon that you can manipulate."
He Yanling had followed Sun Xiucai for so long, so she naturally understood what he wanted to do at this time, and hurriedly spoke with a crying tone.
"Cousin, I'm not doing this for myself today. I just want a name for my child. I'm going to give birth in a few months, and this child can't be born without a father. If Madam doesn't accept me today, I'll kill myself right here."
Seeing that the situation was beyond repair, Mr. Sun's face revealed a hint of panic. Thinking that he was a scholar after all, and now he was in such an embarrassing situation, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Alright, on my wedding day, making such a scene is outrageous! It's totally disrespectful."
After doing so, he looked at Shen Luoxue and spoke somewhat unnaturally.
"Luoxue, now that you've entered our family, we've already married and become an official couple. I'm sorry for what happened today, but the baby in Yanling's belly is my child after all, and as the mistress of the house, this is also your child.
Since you've already lifted the veil, why don't you just drink the concubine tea today and let her be a concubine? You can teach her the rules later."
Shen Luoxue felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life, and it was on her wedding day.
"Don't even think about taking a concubine on the wedding day, Sun Xinyao. I tell you, you are stepping on the face of my Shen family. I, Shen Luoxue, don't want this marriage. Since you have chosen your cousin, why not let her be your wife directly? Don't let her be wronged with such a big belly."
Seeing Shen Luoxue's fierce temper, Sun's mother suddenly felt unhappy.
"As expected, you are a distinguished young lady with an unusual temper. You have already entered the family and worshipped heaven and earth, yet you still dare to say that the marriage is over. Today, no matter how noble your status is, since you have entered the family, you will be a member of the Sun family in life and a ghost of the Sun family in death."
Just as Shen Luoxue was about to open her mouth, Mother Qiu immediately squeezed her hand tightly and looked at Mother Sun fiercely.
"Madam Sun, it was your Sun family that bullied us first, and now you want to force your way into our Shen family? When we discussed the marriage that day, our two families made it clear that the future husband of our Shen family's eldest daughter doesn't have to be wealthy or have a good family background, but he must be a man of good character.
Now, your Sun family has made such a scene on the wedding night, stepping on our Shen family's reputation to enhance your Sun family's prestige. Not to mention that our governor's wife is still waiting for our young lady to return home at the Shen family, even if the governor, who is far away in the northwest and is concerned about the affairs of the state, knew that our young lady had suffered such a great injustice, he would definitely not agree to this marriage. "
When mentioning the governor of the Northwest Prefecture, Sun Xiucai still felt a little guilty. After all, he was still waiting for his father-in-law to support him in the future, so he lowered his posture to coax Shen Luoxue.
"Luoxue, I know you are the daughter of a noble family, well-educated, gentle and virtuous. He Yanling is just a lowly concubine. With so many people watching today, as husband and wife, they should be of one mind. After we deal with this ridiculous matter, I will stay with you from now on.
She is just a lowly concubine. She brought the child to your courtyard to be raised right after he was born. This child will naturally be filial to the mother who raised him."
He Yanling felt as cold as winter ice when she heard such derogatory words. Sure enough, that person was right. Men who were unkind and disloyal since ancient times were unreliable.
"I don't agree, cousin. Why should I let her raise the child I gave birth to?"
Sun Xiucai looked at He Yanling with a fierce warning in his eyes.
"Shut up! If you cause trouble again, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship for so many years."
Even approached He Yanling's threatening opening.
"He Yanling, if you ruin my marriage with the Shen family today, even if you give birth to this child, you won't be able to see it again. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."
After saying that, before He Yanling could say anything else, she continued to walk to Shen Luoxue and coax her softly.
"Luoxue, we've already been married, so we're a family. If this continues, it will be shameful for our family. We should end this matter as soon as possible. After today, I will slowly make it up to you and stay with you alone."
Shen Luoxue naturally didn't want to let it go like this. She was not satisfied with this marriage in the first place.
It was Mother Qiu who understood the situation and came close to Luoxue to speak.
"Miss, let's wrap this up first. If this continues, the Shen family will also be embarrassed. As for this concubine, she can be used for business. We can find an opportunity to kill her later. As for the Sun family, they actually dared to cheat on their marriage. Madam is still here. We will go back to discuss this with Madam tomorrow morning. We will definitely let the Sun family give us a result on this matter."
Shen Luoxue glanced at Sun Xinyao, and felt disgusted by his fawning and calculating face. Then she looked at He Yanling beside her, walked to the table beside her and sat down gracefully.
"Come here, serve the tea. Let Aunt He serve the tea."
One sentence determined He Yanling's identity.
