"Oh, Tingzhu, the new daughter-in-law, is really good-looking." Mo Junhua looked Tang Wan up and down with a bad look on his face.
Seeing Tang Wan's confused expression, Mo Tingzhu took the initiative to explain: "This is my aunt."
"It's my aunt. My niece-in-law pays her respects to you." She bowed slightly as a greeting.
"Alas, I cannot accept such a generous gift from you. After all, I am not the head of the palace now, and I cannot give you anything good."
There was undisguised malice in Mo Junhua's eyes, and his words were all about saying that she was a vain and seductive woman. He also stepped on Mo's mother, saying that she treated her sister-in-law harshly and left her with nothing to reward others.
"How could that be? Aunt, even before I married in, I heard that mother was always generous and kind to everyone. As long as they weren't those treacherous and mean people, mother wouldn't dislike them. If you asked mother for something, mother would definitely give it to you."
Tang Wan retorted that the bracelet on her hand was still warm and she couldn't let others feel cold.
Mo Junhua's face darkened and looked a little unhappy.
These words were like putting her on the fire. If she continued to criticize Mo's mother, she would become a treacherous villain. These words were like judging others by one's own standards.
But if he didn't say it, he couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, so he started to ridicule her.
"Sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law is really eloquent. Not only is she good-looking, but she is also very good at talking." Her tone was unfriendly, and it was obvious that she wanted to seize the opportunity to find a mistake in her.
"That's natural. My mother has always been kind and doesn't like to argue with others. My daughter-in-law was born in the countryside, so naturally she can't compare to my mother in terms of good temper."
Although Tang Wan took up her words, she belittled herself and praised Mo's mother. In this way, if this aunt wanted to make a fuss about this matter in the future, it would be considered as arguing with a junior and not knowing the rules.
Mo Junhua's face became even uglier. This little girl, who had just married for the first day, was actually threatening her?
How dare she?
Mo Junhua continued to provoke: "I just don't know if my nephew can satisfy my niece-in-law?" She asked knowingly, just to see embarrassment on their faces.
Everyone in Shangjing knows that Mo Tingzhu is good-looking but useless. Not being able to grow is one thing, but being unusable is another.
"Don't bother me, Aunt. Mo Lang is strong and handsome, a rare good man in the world. I am very satisfied with him."
"Sister-in-law, you really have a good wife. Junhua is really envious."
Seeing her dark face, Mo's mother was so happy. "Okay, okay, Junhua, if you like, you can find a wife for your son as soon as possible. However, she may not be as obedient and sensible as my daughter-in-law. After all, not everyone's son is so lucky."
Mo Junhua married her current husband and only had a daughter. She had not given birth to a son in all these years. Instead, she had illegitimate sons, one after another, and she had no way to take care of them.
What she hated most in her life was people using this matter to ridicule her.
“Chen Tinglan, what qualifications do you have to say that? If it weren’t for me and my elder brother…”
If it weren't for my and my brother's identities, how could it be your turn?
"Aunt, be careful with your words." Mo Tingzhu looked at her with a pair of phoenix eyes that resembled his father's. Although he was smiling, his eyes were cold and without any warmth.
Mo Junhua used to be most afraid of her eldest brother. Now, although her eldest brother is no longer around, for some unknown reason, she is still afraid of this child who looks like her eldest brother.
Although he is very naughty, that look in his eyes is inexplicably frightening.
Looking at these eyes, she always thought of her eldest brother's stern face. When she was just adopted, she was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw her eldest brother.
Later, when he grew up a little, he developed some romantic thoughts, but they were ruthlessly exposed and he was almost kicked out of the palace. From then on, he loved, hated and feared her.
But she was still angry and sarcastically said, "Your daughter-in-law is good, but she is too uneducated. She is really from a poor family and cannot be put on the stage."
"Oh, speaking of humble families? I remember, Junhua, you also seem to come from a humble family. After all, you are not the biological son of the royal palace, so you'd better not forget your status."
"You!" Her face flushed red, and she couldn't find any words to refute for a long time.
In the end, she shut up, not even willing to say a few perfunctory words, and walked away with a flick of her sleeves.
As soon as the people left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed.
Mo's mother looked at Tang Wan, and now she was satisfied no matter how she looked at her.
Because of her status, she couldn't break off relations with Mo Junhua, so she always had to pretend to be nice to him.
This daughter-in-law I married was really a good one. I finally got rid of my anger.
"You are a good child. You helped your mother vent her anger."
She stroked Tang Wan's hair and looked at her current attire, frowning, "What are you wearing? You are so beautiful, why are you dressed so plainly? If others see you, they will say that my palace can't afford to support you."
"I'm sorry to have worried my mother. My daughter-in-law always likes to dress plainly. After all, having too much appearance is not a good thing."
"What's wrong with that? Some people want it but don't have it yet. Come on, Tingzhu, take my daughter-in-law to the warehouse to pick out some good materials, brightly colored ones."
"Yes, son, obey your command." Mo Tingzhu's face lit up with joy. He could take this opportunity to add some money to his private treasury.
You can buy some wine now.
The young couple was kicked out just like that.
The two stood in the corridor, staring at each other for a while. Mo Tingzhu was the first to break the silence: "The warehouse is this way."
"I know." She took small steps towards him.
Mo Tingzhu carefully held her hand, which was soft and small, and was completely wrapped in his hand.
Along the way, both of them were silent.
Mo Tingzhu was the first to bring up the topic: "Do you really want to marry me? If not, I can set you free."
Tang Wan was completely confused by his nonsensical words. When did she ever say that she didn't want to?
Men really can't be spoiled.
"Oh, ma'am, be gentle, it hurts!"
Tang Wan twisted it hard before letting go, but Mo Tingzhu's eyes were already filled with tears.
"Don't think I don't dare to hit you. If you do this again next time and say such hurtful words, I will ignore you forever."
She took the lead and accused him from the moral high ground, which immediately extinguished the fire in Mo Tingzhu's heart.
"It's my fault, it's my fault. I'm just afraid that you were forced into this and it wasn't your own will."
"If I don't want to, no one will force me."
"Mo Tingzhu, don't say that again next time. I've been your wife for one day, and I'll be your wife for the rest of my life."
