Besides the masters of their own families, Fang Birong also went to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to congratulate Princess Qiongshu on her birthday.

This time Fang Birong was sitting in a car with Fang's two daughters Wei Yingyu and Wei Yingmin and her son Wei Chengqi. Shen Xinyan's family and Yang's family also sat in separate cars. The last car was occupied by servants who came with them to serve.

In the carriage, Wei Yingzhi was whispering to Wei Junhang. Shen Xinyan listened carefully and heard the little girl complaining to her father that Chunliu was pretending to cry to deceive her. Wei Junhang deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Chunliu is really too outrageous. Daddy will punish her severely for you when he goes back!"

The little girl nodded repeatedly, and after a while she pointed at her fingers and said, "It doesn't have to be a heavy punishment, just a little lighter than a heavy punishment will do."

Wei Junhang said with an 'I'll listen to you' look: "Okay, I'll listen to the fourth lady and punish her a little lighter than the heavy one!"

The little girl smiled, thought for a moment and added: "It's better to be a little lighter than heavy!"

"Okay, a little lighter than heavy!"

Shen Xinyan couldn't listen any longer and burst out laughing, glaring at a certain frivolous prince.

A little lighter than heavy, but he can still talk nonsense seriously.

Wei Junhang smiled and pinched his daughter's soft face.

Wei Chenglin looked at his father and sister who were leaning their foreheads against each other and muttering something, and then looked at his mother who had a smile in her eyes but a helpless look, and he couldn't help but smile.

Fortunately, his father's heart was still with his mother, and he did not neglect his mother just because there was a concubine Yan in the mansion. So he was finally relieved.

Wei Chenglin was used to having his mother alone by his father's side. A while ago, a mistress suddenly appeared, and in the end, his mother had to step in to bring the mistress into the house. Wei Chenglin was worried that his parents would develop a rift because of this concubine Yan.

Although Yan had been staying quietly in her own room since she came into the family, rarely going out and never bothering his mother, she was a lively and pretty young woman after all, and he couldn't help but worry that his father would be seduced by her.

He thought that as a man, it is better to be single-minded. If you have a wife who can accompany you for life, why do you need to take concubines or have a maid? Like the third aunt, who was so angry with the concubines of the third uncle that she couldn't even eat many times.

Even his cousins ​​Zhao Ge'er and Yue Ge'er never had a good face towards their illegitimate brothers. Taking a concubine and giving birth to illegitimate children would only cause rifts between husband and wife and damage the relationship between father and son. So what was the point of taking a concubine!

Of course, these are just his thoughts, he will not and cannot tell anyone.

As the birthday star's family, the Duke of Ying's Mansion and his party naturally arrived early. The most prestigious officials of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, who had received the news and were waiting outside the door, immediately went to greet them when they saw the Duke of Ying's Mansion's carriage arrive.

The male members were personally welcomed by the Prince of Wei and entered the main hall, while the female members boarded a small blue cloth sedan chair and entered through the second gate, heading all the way to where Princess Qiongshu was waiting.

The meeting between aunt and sister-in-law, and aunt and nephew was naturally lively. The younger generation, led by Wei Chenglin, bowed to Wei Qiongshu one by one, and met Wei Qiongshu's two children. The group of children laughed and it was very interesting.

"Is this sister Birong? I haven't seen her for many years. Have you grown so big? If she didn't look somewhat similar to my elder sister-in-law, I wouldn't have recognized her!" Wei Qiongshu's eyes finally fell on Fang Birong, and she pulled her aside and asked affectionately.

Fang Birong's feeling of embarrassment finally disappeared.

She was the only outsider in the room. Watching them talking and laughing happily, she felt so embarrassed that she wished she had not followed.

"Hello, Princess." Fang Birong bowed and was about to greet him, but was stopped by Wei Qiongshu. "Why should we be so polite? I held you in my arms when you were little! Time flies so fast. It seems that in the blink of an eye, the little girl has grown into a graceful young lady."

Seeing her kind words and warm attitude, Fang Birong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She finally knew that her elder sister had not lied to her and that Wei Qiongshu really still cared about their old friendship.

When she saw Wei Qiongshu's next arrangements, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wei Qiongshu was the protagonist of today, she always asked Fang Birong to follow her closely. This care was clearly seen by everyone in the room.

"Tsk, this girl is really good at climbing up the ladder. She is so shameless. If you don't know, you would think she is the real boss today!" Yang was very unhappy to see Wei Qiongshu lifting an outsider like this.

Shen Xinyan had no objection, and had expected Wei Qiongshu's move. She just didn't know if Fang Birong could find a husband as she wished with Wei Qiongshu's help.

However, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that many ladies looked at her with a much more friendly gaze today than before. Even Wei Qiongshu's expression towards her softened unconsciously, and there was even a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Guilt? She was puzzled and couldn't understand what Wei Qiongshu would do to let her down and make her attitude become so weird.

Until Fu Wan appeared.

"I see that you are a little thinner than last time. But no matter what, you still have to take care of yourself. After all, you still have Lin Ge'er and Ying'er! If you care too much about those things that are not presentable, you are just flattering them."

Shen Xinyan woke up from a dream and finally understood what meant by those "friendly" looks around her.

She was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. No wonder Luo Xiuxiu and Xu Yuzhi didn't show their superiority in front of her just now. It turned out that they were just being kind and sympathizing with her because her husband had a mistress and she had to bring the mistress into the house.

In the past, her husband had only her and no concubines, so who would have thought of suppressing her in other ways and trying to beat her? Now that her only advantage is gone and her husband is not a very promising person, they naturally feel sympathy for her and stop saying harsh words.

It is true that the weak are easily sympathized with!

She wondered, in order to keep her ears clear, should she continue to maintain her identity as a "weak person"?

"Fu Wan is right. As for those things that are not presentable, if you are happy, you should give her a good look. If you are unhappy, you can just throw them away. It is worth keeping them in mind." Luo Xiuxiu walked in at some point and happened to hear what Fu Wan said. She snorted.

Shen Xinyan acted decisively and immediately put on a somewhat bitter smile.

When Luo Xiuxiu saw this, she was immediately shocked and felt that her status was rising rapidly. Her attitude became more and more friendly, and later she looked very disappointed: "You are from a wealthy family, a legitimate wife, but you were made into such a horrible state by such a scoundrel. You have really wasted all these years!"

Shen Xinyan lowered her head so that no one could see her expression, but she was puzzled in her heart.

After all, she had dressed up carefully before going out, so why did she look so horrible? Was it because her hairpin was crooked, her hair was messed up, or her clothes were dirty?

She scanned her body without finding anything inappropriate.

"Okay, stop blaming her. Can't you see that she is in a bad mood now?" Fu Wan interrupted her endless preaching and patted the back of Shen Xinyan's hand comfortingly.

"Xiu Xiu is right, Xin Yan, you are too soft-hearted, that's why you are bullied by that little bitch!" Xu Yuzhi came over with her belly bulging, sat down on the other side of Shen Xin Yan, and said earnestly, "There is only one thing, that is, you must not let that little bitch get pregnant before you. The bitch will be more confident when she has a child, and once she is confident, she will also become more arrogant. I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."

"Also, the rules that should be set must be established. Never let that little bitch live too easily. If she does, she will be tempted to seduce men and cause trouble for you." Luo Xiuxiu interjected unwillingly.

"You are too soft-hearted. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you should stand up for your brother Lin and girl Ying. If necessary, you should kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and scare those restless bastards."

"That's right, Yuzhi hit the nail on the head. You must not pretend to be a kind person and push your man away. If you push him away once, twice, three times, slowly, he will get used to it and start to treat you equally. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

"You must also control the people around that little bitch. Let them know who is the real master of this inner house. We must not be lenient with those who dare to take advantage of others."

"This can also be applied to men. You must never be soft-hearted towards men. If you are soft towards them, they will become hard towards you!"

"Cough cough cough..." Shen Xinyan finally couldn't help but turned around and started coughing loudly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you? Have you seen a doctor?" Three concerned voices sounded at the same time.

Shen Xinyan wiped her eyes, which were slightly red from trying not to laugh, and then wiped the corners of her mouth before saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"You still dare to say that everything is fine? Your eyes are..." Luo Xiuxiu was about to expose her lie, but Fu Wan pushed her arm subtly. She understood and immediately changed the subject with a smile, talking about the scene in the Duke of Wei's mansion today.

Shen Xinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She never dreamed that she would receive such earnest guidance from Luo Xiuxiu and Xu Yuzhi in this life.

Thinking of the two of them talking to each other about their experiences in dealing with little bastards, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

It was a rough truth, after all, these experiences were the result of several "battles" by their predecessors, so she had to write them down carefully, so as not to let down the good intentions of these two people.
