Chapter 366: Yun Family Grandfather
She wasn't the type to sell her face to anyone, so she turned down most of them.
However, no matter how successful you are, you still have to rely on your elders and relatives.
Lei Ning accompanied the emperor to Xindu, taking several concubines with him, and the whole family stayed in Anzhou. Lei Nian'er became the most prestigious person in the family.
Even though Lei Nian'er didn't live in the Lei Mansion, the backbone of the whole family shifted to her. She wrote more letters home than before.
They were sent to her one after another, asking her to make decisions on important matters.
She had to save face for her own mother. This time, when Madam Gui's nephew was getting married, she was asked to go and help with the occasion.
Mrs. Gui was born into the Yun family, where originally only Yun's father was a minor official. Later, Mrs. Gui was taken in by Lei Ning.
Because of the rift between civil officials and military generals, and because he didn't care about the mother and daughter, Lei Ning, despite being the Grand General of the Jinwu Guard, didn't bring any benefits to Yun's father's career.
Later, when Madam Gui became the second wife, Lei Ning began to take care of Yun's father like his father-in-law and promoted him. However, the Yun family really reached its peak after the crown prince was enthroned and Lei Nian'er became the leader of the ten forces in the Eastern Palace.
After all, the son-in-law is not their own child, but the granddaughter is their family's bloodline, and the whole family dares to say that they are honored by it.
Lei Nian'er is actually not familiar with the Yun family. When she was a child, she tried her best to survive by being invisible under the nose of the original wife. Not long after her mother became the legitimate wife, she entered the palace and often accompanied the prince.
But Mrs. Gui was very attached to the Yun family and dragged her to save face for her parents' family.
On the way there, Lei Nian'er staggered in the carriage, fanning herself with one hand and picking a cherry with the other.
After she had finished sucking the fruit pulp, the cherry seeds remained in her mouth. Lei Nian'er was too lazy to bend over to spit them out, so she pursed her lips and exhaled.
The cherry seeds fell precisely into the bone dish.
Little brother Lei, who had been eating according to etiquette, was also led astray and started spitting out the seeds, following his elder sister's example.
But the kid's aim was not good and he was slapped in the face by Mrs. Gui.
"You don't want to learn good things, but what bad habits did you learn from your sister? Eat well, otherwise don't eat at all."
Lei Xiaodi was not convinced: "Why can my sister do that?"
Lei Nian'er gave the little brat a look of contempt and said mockingly, "Because my mother hits me, I can hide, can you hide?"
Lei clenched his chubby fists and said, "I will start practicing martial arts tomorrow! I want to avoid my mother's slap!"
Seeing her youngest son swearing to work hard towards this as his life goal, Mrs. Gui felt a headache. These two annoying things.
The eldest daughter was even more upset. Madam Gui couldn't help but say, "The way you sit, can you be more girlish? It will make you look like a fool to outsiders."
Lei Nian'er spat out another seed, "Why should I be watched by others? I'm not a monkey juggling on the street."
Mrs. Gui: “…”
A wedding is also called a wedding ceremony, and the main ceremony is held at dusk. Lei Nian'er and his friends arrived early, and the Yun family was welcoming them at the door.
Before the Lei family's carriage came to a complete stop, Madam Yun came to greet them.
Lei Nian'er opened the car curtain and saw an enlarged face with her mouth almost smiling.
She smiled awkwardly but politely, "Aunt, congratulations."
Madam Yun covered her mouth and smiled, "Nian'er has a sweet mouth, and looks really smart."
Lei Nian’er:?
Is it clever to say congratulations?
Madam Yun was a good talker. She surrounded Madam Gui and praised her for giving birth to a good daughter. She also praised her for being strong and smart, and said that she would definitely be as successful as her elder sister when she grew up.
Mrs. Gui's smile never dropped, and the two of them walked into the yard affectionately. Lei Nian'er pulled her little brother and followed behind helplessly.
Madam Yun did not dare to ignore her. She would greet her from time to time and was very tactful, not letting anyone be treated with disrespect.
She smiled and said, "It's rare for my sister to come back. I will take you and the children to meet our parents."
After entering the inner courtyard, Madam Yun handed the person over to the old lady, and then hurried to the gate to entertain the guests.
The old lady forced herself to smile and tried to exchange a few words.
"Gui Chi is back now. Our two families are not far from each other. Why don't you come home more often?"
However, Madam Gui did not give them face and took Lei Nian'er and the others to sit far away.
"Didn't mother say that I had lost my innocence and was unworthy of living in this world? Rather than living a miserable life as someone else's mistress, I should just hang myself with a rope, right?"
"She said that I deserved to be raped because I dressed up like a vixen and she told me to die."
"Now that I'm back alive, why are you so happy?"
Lei Nian'er realized that her mother brought her back to the Yun family for revenge.
This old woman actually said such things to her mother before. It was too much.
The old lady's smile froze on her face, and she secretly cursed this woman for being ungrateful and looking for trouble on her grandson's wedding day.
Yun Guichi is not her biological child. He did such a shameful thing back then, so what if she is a little mean?
Who could have thought that she would be so successful and give birth to a beautiful daughter, and that she could use this opportunity to show off in front of her elders.
But she could only keep smiling and said with a laugh: "It was all my fault at the beginning. I was really angry and worried about you, so I said those angry words."
"There is no such thing as overnight hatred among our family. I am here to apologize to you, Miss Guichi. Please do not bear grudges against me, an ignorant lady."
She tilted her head to indicate, "Nian girl is still here, so don't let the children laugh at the grudges between us from the previous generation."
Lei Nian'er is already prepared. No matter how much her mother wants justice, she will support her.
As a result, Mrs. Gui's expression became relaxed, and it seemed that she was coaxed very well. She held her head high and said, "Well, then I won't care about it. Who told me to be open-minded?"
Lei Nian'er:......
