"If you can't hold onto your own fiancé, it's your own incompetence, yet you have the nerve to blame others." Ouyang Huan couldn't stand seeing the Second Madam being gentle with Shen Wangshu, so she immediately sneered.
She's just a dull, rule-abiding lady, lacking any vibrancy, and hardly worthy of her best brother.
She even dared to lay a hand on her brother because of jealousy; Ouyang Huan absolutely hated this shrew.
She couldn't help but think of Gao Wanning, whom she had met with Ouyang Yu some time ago. She remembered how Gao Wanning had desperately gambled on stones while Ouyang Yu was imprisoned, and how she managed to get Ouyang Yu released by speaking up for him in front of Old Master Ouyang. A sense of emotion and closeness appeared in her eyes.
Moreover, gambling on jade is so exciting. Gao Wanning has always been a great leader. No matter what situation she is in, she will never change her expression. She has also frequently won big in adversity, even with rough stones that did not perform well. She has cut out many beautiful and exquisite jadeite pieces. In Ouyang Huan's eyes, this is like a legend.
She admires Gao Wanning's legendary life.
"Did I resent you?" Shen Wangshu ignored Ouyang Huan and turned to ask Ouyang Yu.
"I only hit you." Amidst Ouyang Yu's flushed face, Shen Wangshu suddenly smiled and said very kindly, "I also have a man I like, and you've met him, haven't you?"
"You fickle woman!" Ouyang Huan was furious at her shamelessness.
"If you can't keep your fiancée, it's because you're incompetent. Your whining and complaining is really not manly," Shen Wangshu said with a smile, glancing at Ouyang Yu.
She returned the words to them, and although they were far apart, their voices were clearly audible to those around them because they didn't lower their voices.
Shen Wangshu then heard someone burst into laughter.
“Go back and comfort your brother. Although he’s only good-looking, there are still quite a few people who like his face these days.” Shen Wangshu then said to Ouyang Huan with a smile, “You’re so capable, you should keep a close eye on your fiancé in the future. It would be best to put a rope around his neck and hold on tight. That’s what real skill is.”
Her words carried a hint of humiliation. Seeing Ouyang Huan glaring at her with her beautiful eyes, she sneered, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. And another thing is, how you see others is how others see you."
When Ouyang Huan insults others, how can she be sure that others aren't laughing at her?
"Your grandfather summoned you here, presumably to curry favor with me so that Ah Xuan's ban can be lifted. But with a face like yours, you'll probably have to continue to endure that ban," Shen Wangshu said calmly.
You can't expect to get her help without acting superior and ordering her around.
If you mess up your job, you'll be getting slapped when you get back!
Ouyang Huan had obviously thought of this problem as well.
Old Master Ouyang was not a gentle person; on the contrary, he was quite domineering.
She was slapped a lot when she was a child.
Ouyang Huan shrank back slightly, feeling extremely indignant.
How dare this wooden woman threaten her?!
It would be better for her brother not to marry such a woman. She's also lucky that her brother doesn't like her, but likes Gao Wanning instead.
Ouyang Huan wanted to say something else, but fearing that Old Master Ouyang would beat her to death, she had to hold back. She stared fiercely into Shen Wangshu's eyes for a while before forcefully pushing aside the crowd watching the spectacle and striding away.
However, she didn't dare leave before the old man spoke, so she went to a group of her close girlfriends, glaring maliciously at Shen Wangshu while whispering something to them. Shen's mother was about to get angry, but Shen Wangshu held her hand, and she could only watch helplessly as Shen Wangshu suffered injustice.
She sneered and said unkindly to the second wife, "It's fortunate that Shushu didn't take a fancy to your son because of this girl!"
Shen Shuya always reported good news and never bad news, so her mother had no idea that her sister-in-law from the Ouyang family could be so mean.
Judging from how skillfully she roasted Shen Wangshu with her sharp tongue, it was clear that this wasn't the first time she had done it.
Only then did Shen's mother realize how much grievance her daughter had suffered. She felt sorry for her daughter's embarrassment and couldn't help but resent her in her heart.
If she had known the Ouyang family were all like this, she would never have agreed to this marriage. But Shen Shuya said nothing, leaving her foolishly believing the Ouyang family to be good people. This was the first time she had seen Ouyang Huan so rude. Although she had heard people talk about Ouyang Huan's unconventional ways, she was an elder and the mistress of Shen's Jewelry, and her social circle consisted of mature ladies. She had no idea that these younger generations behaved like this.
Shen Shuya never said anything, and she originally thought that the rumors about Ouyang Huan were just jealous gossip spread by these petty people.
"Madam Shen, you've misunderstood." The second madam was sweating profusely and hurriedly said, "This child has been a bit unhappy lately, so..."
"You're taking your anger out on my Shushu because you're unhappy?" Mother Shen scoffed and said coldly, "We're not done with what happened before! From now on, Shushu has nothing to do with you, so don't try to drag us into this!"
She spoke sternly, raising her voice to her feet, and scolded the guilty second wife until she was crestfallen, drawing everyone's attention. Old Master Ouyang had no particular feelings for Shen Wangshu, only wanting to avoid making an enemy, but seeing that the second wife had somehow angered Shen's mother, his old face changed slightly. He then forced a smile, trying to maintain a facade of peace.
Today is his birthday banquet, we can't afford to mess it up.
