Su Wenyue suppressed the emotions in her eyes, and when she saw that the lady in charge was asking her, she didn't mean to say much, but just said, "Mrs. Zhou and I do know each other," leaving everyone with endless speculation. In the lady in charge's view, she tacitly agreed with what Fang Chen said, and then looked at Zhou Wang with a deep gaze.

Mrs. Zhou Wang felt the eyes of the chief lady cast on her, and she panicked: "Madam, please don't listen to your Fang Chen's nonsense. She is just jealous of my good relationship with Yue Niang, so she said that on purpose. Yue Niang, don't you think so?"

Zhou Wangshi looked at Su Wenyue for help, hoping that Su Wenyue could help her explain that as long as Su Wenyue helped her this time, she could put aside the past grudges and forget all the previous unpleasantness, and allow Su Wenyue to curry favor with her. Zhou Wangshi had such confidence only because her husband's official rank was one level higher than Su Wenyue's husband, and in her opinion this was a matter of course.

Su Wenyue seemed to have not noticed Zhou Wangshi's request for help. She lowered her head and fiddled with the food on the table. She was extremely speechless. Zhou Wangshi was a weird woman. She didn't know why she was so confident that she would help her. They were obviously "enemies". Well, she was not crazy. If she helped Zhou Wangshi, she would be stepped on by Zhou Wangshi in the future? Only if her brain collapsed would she help her.

Seeing Su Wenyue so angry and resentful, Zhou Wangshi became even more anxious and looked at the head lady: "Madam, I really didn't lie to you. Yue Niang and I had a very good relationship before. I don't know why she suddenly became like this. Could it be that she felt uncomfortable seeing you being so nice to me? How could she be like this? We are obviously good sisters. Why is this happening? Oh, oh."

Seeing that her plan failed, Zhou Wangshi simply pretended to be an ungrateful person and looked at Su Wenyue with a broken heart. Su Wenyue looked at Zhou Wangshi's expression and gaze and felt like a heartless man who had deceived someone's feelings. The pressure in her heart suddenly increased, and she was not used to Zhou Wangshi's sudden change of style. She got goose bumps all over her body.

Seeing Zhou Wangshi's behavior, the people present had different opinions. Some of the wives of civil officials stood on Zhou Wangshi's side, and looked at Su Wenyue with suspicion and inquiry, but most of them were skeptical. The wives of military officials were mostly straightforward, and most of them stood on Su Wenyue's side, thinking that Zhou Wangshi's hypocritical behavior was too pretentious, just like those little vixens, which was really disgusting.

Su Wenyue didn't care what others thought and just didn't respond to Zhou Wangshi, letting Zhou Wangshi carry on like a clown. However, today was the birthday of the county magistrate's wife, and the lady was here to celebrate the birthday, not to cause trouble. Strictly speaking, Zhou Wangshi was someone she brought with her, so she naturally wouldn't let her keep crying like this.

The county magistrate's wife did not show it on her face, but she was extremely disgusted with Zhou Wangshi in her heart. For any principal wife, the most hated type was the type of woman who was like a little white flower, who was the best at seducing men's hearts. The two young ladies saw Zhou Wangshi crying at her mother-in-law's birthday party, looking so pitiful, and not only did they not have any sympathy, but they felt discouraged instead. They felt that the festive atmosphere was ruined by her, and they looked at Zhou Wangshi with unfriendly eyes.

"Okay, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Who are you crying for? Don't you know what day it is today?" The headmistress said with a sullen face. These words were considered quite harsh. Zhou Wangshi's heart skipped a beat and she immediately dared not to act any more.

"Mrs. Xu, I'm so sorry. Children nowadays are just vulnerable. They cry over little things. I hope I didn't spoil your mood." The head lady smiled at the county magistrate's wife in a gentle tone.

This was not the captain-general's wife's fault, and the county magistrate's wife had no problem with her.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter. But Zhou Wang's crying temper is not a good thing. She is not a concubine or a maid. Why should she learn such low-class behavior? It will only lose the face and demeanor of the main wife. It is not advisable!" Although the county magistrate's wife spoke obscurely, no one present could understand the meaning of her words, and the way they looked at Zhou Wang was more contemptuous.

Isn't that what the county magistrate's wife said? A good wife, but now she is imitating the behavior of those inferiors, talking to herself like an actor.

When Su Wenyue heard the wife of the county magistrate say this, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she felt more grateful to the wife of the county magistrate. She knew that the wife of the county magistrate was supporting her, but she really looked down on Zhou Wang's behavior. Even when she was in that mansion before, she would not have acted like this if she wanted to win favor, otherwise she would have been disliked by that person long ago.

"Today is mother's birthday, please don't say anything unpleasant. Mother is the birthday girl today, she should be happy. Your daughter-in-law has also invited a famous opera troupe in the city to entertain mother." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

The second young master's wife, Han, also agreed: "Yes, I heard that they have just arranged two new plays recently, so it's a good time to watch something new."

Everybody was willing to cooperate, and the banquet became lively again. As for Fang Chen and Zhou Wang, they were completely forgotten. Zhou Wang came with the mistress of the headmaster, and Qin was not sure how to deal with her, fearing that it would hurt the mistress's face. So, she was not polite to Fang Chen, and quietly ordered people to "invite" Fang Chen out. There was no need to have any more contact with such an unknown person in the future, and she was removed from the list of contacts in the mansion.

After the banquet, Su Wenyue said goodbye and left with An, feeling exhausted all over. It was too tiring to talk to those ladies. But Han Yu's position was too low now and he could not afford to offend anyone. He had to cheer up and deal with them without any negligence. Su Wenyue was already in poor spirits due to her pregnancy, and she felt like she was about to collapse after all this. As soon as she left the mansion, she asked Nanny Chen and Xiaoxi to help her get on the carriage.

Seeing that her daughter looked unwell, Mrs. An became even more worried.

"Yueyue, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? You don't look very well. Why don't we not go back today? Let's stay at the house in the city and have Doctor Lin come to check your pulse. Let's rest for a night first. You are not fit to travel like this."

Although the Su family's mansion is in the countryside, Master Su doesn't like places that are too crowded, so he has also bought real estate in the county town. There is a house not far from the county government office, which makes it convenient for him to stay there. He doesn't have to go to an inn or rent a house somewhere else, which is quite convenient.

Su Wenyue also knew that what her mother said was right, so she nodded and said, "Mom, I'll listen to you. Let's stay in the city today. I'm not feeling unwell anywhere, but I'm a little tired. But it would be good to ask a doctor to take a look. I'll feel relieved if I know that the baby in my belly is fine."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Su Wenyue now puts the baby in her belly first in everything. Han Yu came back early today, as he felt a little worried when he didn't see Su Wenyue.
