Chapter 2451: Getting to Know You (May Monthly Ticket Plus 1)
Mrs. Tang smiled and took her hand, saying, "Come on, let's go upstairs. I asked Huiyanlou to prepare their signature dishes early in the morning."
Manbao and his group followed her upstairs.
After entering the private room, Manbao saw Wang Ruile sitting not far from the window, his eyes still looking down. He turned around when he heard the noise. Seeing Manbao, he stood up and saluted with a smile, then asked, "Master Zhou, is he seriously injured?"
Manbao didn't expect her to ask this. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's not heavy."
Wang Ruile smiled, with little change on her face, but Manbao could see some disappointment in her expression.
She thought for a moment and said, "No bones were injured, but the flesh wounds are the most painful. He will probably be in pain for half a month."
Wang Ruile felt faintly happy and nodded, "I know how it feels. It will probably take about a month to heal. These gentlemen are so delicate and tender, how could they have ever endured such pain? Even if they recover, it will be slower than others."
Manbao raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Not bad."
Wang Sanniang, Wang Siniang and Wang Wuniang looked a little ugly when they heard this. Even their husbands couldn't help but look at each other and felt that they had not hit him lightly just now.
Judging from what my sister-in-law said, she is very experienced in this and has obviously been beaten many times.
The young man at the side was the most angry. He kicked over the chair and turned around in anger, "Cousin, why didn't you let me hit you a few more times?"
Mrs. Tang glanced at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? There's still a long way to go. This isn't something that can be resolved in a day or two. Beat him today. If he's better in ten days or half a month, you can go beat him up again when you have time."
The young ladies’ husbands standing by: …Why are you suddenly feeling a little scared?
It would have been fine if it was just Manbao, but Manbao also brought Liu Huan and Yin Huo with her. Mrs. Tang couldn't say too much, so she took Manbao's hand and introduced her sisters to her, "This is my third sister, this is my fourth sister, and this is my fifth sister."
Then introduce their husbands.
Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "My third sister and her husband were originally in Yongzhou. My fourth and fifth sisters came here specially after receiving my letter. I originally wanted to drag him into the alley and give him a good beating, but I had other plans at home. I couldn't beat him up here, so I asked you to come and help."
Then he introduced the young man with a slightly bad temper, "This is my fifth brother, Ruile's younger brother. You can just call him Wulang."
She smiled and said, "Wulang is still studying. You are both scholars, so it's a good opportunity to talk."
Wang Wulang knew that Zhou Man was treating his sister's illness. He heard that if Zhou Man hadn't helped, she wouldn't have lived for more than half a year. So Wang Wulang's eyes reddened, and he immediately bowed to Zhou Man, saying with gratitude, "Thank you, Master Zhou, for treating my sister."
Manbao smiled and said, "This is my job, and your family has paid me for it."
"Okay, don't be so polite with her. If you want to express your gratitude, just give her more money."
Mrs. Tang pulled Manbao to sit down, and then introduced Bai Shan and others to them.
Lu San and others were shocked. These... none of them were ordinary people.
Several people looked at each other, greeted them with a smile, and then sat down separately.
Mrs. Tang said that the banquet hall would prepare the food early in the morning, and it was indeed prepared early in the morning. Every dish served was made by their chef, so the taste was better than others.
Manbao enjoyed the meal very much.
After eating and drinking, Madam Tang took Manbao and said, "Let them discuss literature and scriptures here, and you come with us to the Silver Shop."
She smiled and said, "Since I promised to give you a gift, it has to be good. Let's go pick it out."
Manbao: "...This is the special gift you mentioned."
"Isn't that special?" Mrs. Tang said with a smile, "This silver shop belongs to my third brother-in-law. He has a craftsman who is particularly skilled in goldsmithing. I see you have plenty of pearl jewelry, jade and gemstones, but very few gold jewelry. Today is a good time to pick some out."
She smiled and said, "I thought you were getting married soon, so it would be good to have some jewelry on you."
Wang Ruile's spirits brightened when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "Is Lord Zhou getting married soon? Then I'll give Lord Zhou a set of jewelry as well."
She and Wang Sanniang smiled and said, "Third sister, you know I'm short of money right now, so you have to give me a discount."
Wang Sanniang laughed and said, "You are making something in your own silver shop, do you think I would accept your money?"
So a group of ladies surrounded Manbao and left, leaving Baishan and others behind.
Bai Shan watched them walk away, then looked away. Seeing the glass coming towards him, he raised it with a smile and calmly asked Wang Wulang about what happened today.
Because it involved private matters, Manbao did not tell Bai Shan about Wang Ruile, so Bai Shan had no idea why the Wang family beat up their own son-in-law.
Mrs. Tang took Manbao to the jewelry store. Because it was Wang Sanniang's family's jewelry store, they sat directly in the VIP room to choose and talk while choosing, and their privacy was absolutely guaranteed.
There was nothing to hide from Manbao, Mrs. Tang and Wang Ruile. In fact, she had seen everything they had been doing all along. In the first two months, they even relied on Zhou Man to cover up and pass on the information. They couldn't hide it from her at all.
Wang Ruile took the initiative to tell her, "Master Zhou, I want a divorce. I wonder if my reputation will affect you?"
Manbao was stunned and asked, "How will it affect me?"
She is not a girl from the Wang family.
Wang Ruile smiled and said, "Some doctors are reluctant to treat people like me. Especially since Lord Zhou is still in the palace taking care of the nobles, I'm afraid he needs to be more careful about these matters."
Manbao waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I'm a doctor, that's all."
Madam Tang calmly took a sip of tea and said, "I told you that you're overthinking it. Not only is Manbao not that kind of person, even the Imperial Doctor Liu and the others we know well wouldn't care about it."
Manbao nodded, but the gossip fire in his body began to burn fiercely.
Seeing that Wang Ruile didn't seem to mind, she asked, "Divorce... isn't it easy?"
Wang Si Niang, standing by, snorted coldly, "It's not easy, but it's not that difficult either. As long as the woman's family agrees, and the man has made such a big mistake, they won't dare to refuse the divorce."
It might be difficult to deal with families like the Lu and Cui families, as they might prefer to perish in the pot rather than divorce. However, they are still very confident in dealing with the Ma family, as the Ma family cannot defeat the Wang family.
Wang Si Niang thought of something and turned to look at Wang Wu Niang. "Second Auntie won't say anything, right?"
Wang Wuniang's face turned pale, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "No, mother is regretting it so much now. She never thought the Ma family would dare to treat Sixth Sister like this."
Mrs. Tang lowered her eyes and said nothing. Wang Si Niang snorted coldly. Among the girls in the boudoir, she had the best relationship with Wang Ruile. She had the most similar temperament to her eldest sister, and the ones she disliked the most were Wu Niang and Er Niang. However, after getting married, this kind of dislike among the girls in the boudoir seemed petty, and the conflicts at that time were just trivial matters.
But now, she still scoffed at Wang Wuniang's words.
Don’t ask me why I’m kneeling, maybe it’s because I don’t have eyes?
