Yan Yuzhi probably never thought that he would meet Zhao Yunyan in the general's mansion.
The maidservants beside Zhao Yunyan were all more confused than the other, and no one could explain what was going on. At this moment, the maidservant beside Zhao Yunyan suggested to her, "Miss, since he's here, that person must be a relative of the General's Mansion. Why not find a relative of the General's Mansion and ask him what the relationship is, so we can make a decision."
Zhao Yunyan heard the maid's words and thought they made sense. She immediately said, "Then go ask the servants in the general's mansion what the relationship is."
The little maid responded and immediately went out to ask Zhao Yunyan about their relationship.
After a while, the maid returned with her answer. Her face wasn't looking good. She leaned over to Zhao Yunyan with a sullen expression and whispered, "Miss, I've already found out. The woman following Master Yan is his new concubine. She's now visiting the General's Mansion with him."
"Concubine?" Zhao Yunyan's voice rose a notch when she heard this. She looked at the maid beside her in disbelief and said, "He actually brought a concubine with him as a guest? I'm afraid there's no such custom in Shengjing these days."
"Miss, you don't know that this concubine has some status. I heard that she is a distant relative of the general's mansion. If it weren't for this concubine, I'm afraid Master Yan wouldn't be able to come to the general's mansion." The little maid's words gave Zhao Yunyan a heavy blow.
Zhao Yunyan felt a headache and pressed her head, her face darkening as she said, "Ouch, ouch... I can't even get in. I actually have to rely on a concubine to be a guest in the general's mansion. I'm really bewildered. I actually thought this Yan Yuzhi was not bad."
The maidservants around Zhao Yunyan were also a little confused. "It seems that Second Master Yan never mentioned that he had a concubine at home."
At this moment, the lady standing beside Zhao Yunyan couldn't help but said to her, "Oh, my lady, Yan Yuzhi is a well-known playboy in the capital. He has nearly 20 concubines in his mansion alone. He can only deceive young ladies like you who have just arrived in the capital. You'd better be careful and don't be fooled by this boy."
Zhao Yunyan found this even more incredible and asked in a low voice, "Twenty concubines?"
"That's right," the lady beside him added, "Although the Yan family has some wealth, they are ultimately merchants and can't compare to powerful officials. Furthermore, their family traditions are not good, and they gave birth to a son who turned out to be such a playboy. This is really unacceptable."
This lady's outburst chilled Zhao Yunyan from head to toe. Her eyes immediately turned red. "I thought the man my mother was talking about was a good man. What kind of a good man could he be? I didn't expect him to be like this."
Zhao Yunyan immediately became angry and walked out, and the two maids hurriedly chased after her.
At this moment, Yan Yuzhi, who was standing there thinking about chatting up these dignitaries, also noticed Zhao Yunyan and immediately chased after her in a panic, leaving Guan Surong alone to watch Yan Yuzhi catch up.
As soon as Zhao Yunyan left the house, Yan Yuzhi chased after her and said, "Miss Yunyan, Miss Yunyan, I didn't expect to see you here."
"What a coincidence." Zhao Yunyan snorted coldly, lifted the curtain and entered the carriage. She said coldly to the driver in front, "Go home quickly. Don't let these unscrupulous people approach my carriage in the future. Got it?"
Yan Yuzhi became even more panicked upon hearing this. He hurried forward to look at Zhao Yunyan and said, "Miss Yunyan, please listen to my explanation. My Yan family's family tradition is not like this. Although the one next to me is a concubine, she is still a concubine after all. I only have you in my heart, Miss."
Who would have thought that even after Yan Yuzhi spoke, the people in the carriage remained unmoved. The carriage slowly moved forward, and Zhao Yunyan picked up a cup of tea and poured it out of the carriage window, saying coldly, "Get out."
Yan Yuzhi had hot tea splashed on his face, and he looked very embarrassed.
There were many people watching around, all looking at Yan Yuzhi for a moment, pointing and talking at him. Yan Yuzhi had never experienced such humiliation before, and he immediately clenched his fists and walked back with his head down.
Guan Surong appeared beside Yan Yuzhi, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea stains off Yan Yuzhi's face, and comforted him lightly, "It's okay, it's just a few tea leaves spilled, just wipe it off."
Seeing this, Yan Yuzhi felt relieved. He looked at Guan Surong and said slowly, "Surong, I'm sorry for you."
Guan Surong knew Yan Yuzhi's current situation, and was afraid that it was guilt that was playing a role. Seeing him fall into such a state, she didn't give up on him, and she felt sorry for him. This kind of guilt was what Guan Surong wanted.
Guan Surong just smiled faintly, "I've already married you, and if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. What's the point of saying these things?"
Seeing Guan Surong like this, Yan Yuzhi naturally felt a little relieved. He hugged Guan Surong and said, "I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future."
When Guan Surong saw Yan Yuzhi like this, she changed her mind.
If Yan Yuzhi married a woman like this, I'm afraid the couple wouldn't be harmonious. After they get married, Yan Yuzhi will definitely discover her good qualities.
Guan Surong thought of this and smiled to comfort Yan Yuzhi, "If you think Miss Yunyan is good, you can go and explain it to her. Today's measure is just a temporary solution. With your methods, you will definitely be able to coax Miss Yunyan into good graces."
"These girls from wealthy families are all very arrogant. Even if she marries into one of them, I'm afraid her life will not be easy. We should just take a long-term view." Yan Yuzhi's eyes were filled with loneliness.
At this moment, a maid came out of the door and shouted to the girls standing at the door, "Get out of the way! The bride is coming! Get out of the way!"
The crowd at the doorway instantly began to scatter, but each one stretched their heads to see what the bride looked like.
At this moment, Song Lan, wearing a wedding dress, rode on a horse and followed the sedan chair to the door.
Today was the wedding day after all, and Song Lan was at a prime age, looking very high-spirited. Guan Surong now looked at Song Lan riding on the horse, and a little regret spread in her heart. If she had listened to Madam Guan's words, she would be the one in the sedan chair now.
Guan Surong was just thinking about it when she saw the sedan chair being placed on the ground and the bride coming out of it in a red wedding dress.
What a perfect match they made the girls standing outside so envious that their eyes turned red.
Lu Zijun had never been able to find a suitable marriage partner before, but who would have thought that she would find such a good husband the first time she met him.
