Chapter 74 074 I hate humans who have no sense of boundaries!
In fact, Xianyu really hates people who have no sense of boundaries.
This was the case with Mrs. Liu before.
Although she was the original body's biological mother and treated Xianyu politely, there was no intimacy between mother and daughter - but even if they were not close, this Madam Liu would still cross the line in many things.
For example, when it comes to marriage, this is what Liu did.
Although both Wang Ziteng and Xianyu had told her many times not to interfere, she couldn't help but want to interfere - it wasn't even interference, she just wanted to make the decision directly.
Before, Liu was determined to marry Xianyu to a wealthy and powerful family. She didn't like ordinary people, so she went to Prince Beijing's mansion to try to marry her, but was rejected.
Of course, because Princess Beijing was so talented and had great rhetoric skills, Liu didn't even notice that she was being rejected. She even thought it was a good idea - not only was it a good idea, but she could even help her son Wang Yao with his marriage.
Not to mention that the Beijing Prince's Mansion had no interest in their family at all, even if they did, and really wanted to arrange a marriage, it was impossible for them to marry both their children to the same family... This was not an arranged marriage, it was a deep binding, which was definitely asking for trouble.
Even Xianyu, an outsider, understands this principle, but I really don’t know how Liu, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Liguo, was raised to be so naive... Well, she is naive, but not sweet.
She calculates like this every day, but she is so tired that she can't feel sweet at all.
The old lady of the Wang family and Wang Ziteng had long given up hope for her - let the old lady of the Wang family continue to manage the housekeeping business, and then wait until Wang Yao gets married, and then train her properly. This is hopeless, or apply for a new account and start over.
Xianyu was also speechless about this. Every time she saw Liu, she felt that she was very much like the kind of mother in the modern world who was confused, easily moved by herself, and then morally blackmailed her children, making her children and even all her family members want to escape.
This is the case with Xianyu now.
But there is no way to escape the fifteenth day. Although Xianyu deliberately chose a seat farthest away from Liu today, what she didn't expect was that even though Liu was gone, her aunt Shi was still there.
It took a lot of effort for Feng Jieer's stepmother, her eldest aunt, Madam Li, to stop Shi. Before Xianyu could breathe a sigh of relief, Shi's daughter, her cousin Liu Ruyan, came again...
No, you are just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. Why do you care about whether others are getting married or not all day long?
To put it bluntly, what does it have to do with you, the Liu family, whether Wang Xianyu talks about marriage or not?
It's really like eating radish and worrying about nothing.
However, considering that this cousin of the Liu family is Liu's niece, it is normal for her to behave like this. As the saying goes, "niece Xiao Gu", Liu is like that, so it is inevitable that Liu Ruyan will behave like this.
I understand the truth, but I still can't help being angry.
Xianyu laughed out of anger and asked Liu Ruyan directly, "Where did you learn this habit at such a young age? Not to mention that this matter is completely groundless and fabricated, even if it is true, it is not your business to ask about it. You should not even listen to it. If you hear it, you should pretend not to hear it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Ruyan's face turned red. She didn't know what to say or not to say the next words. She was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
But Xianyu didn't care about all this. If she hadn't been concerned that today was her brother Wang Yao's wedding day, she would have overturned the table and left.
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan is not a difficult character. I don’t know if it’s because she is still young, or if she simply inherited the naive blood of the Liu family, but this girl is definitely a worthless fighter.
There was no point in talking to each other, and Xianyu ignored this cousin from the Liu family. She just ate her favorite dishes and waited to leave.
Of course, eating is eating, but it does not stop Xianyu from asking System 003 for gossip about the Liu family and complaining about it in her heart.
So, the old lady of the Wang family and Feng Jieer, while watching the mother and daughter of the Liu family and Liu Shi being humiliated, also followed Xianyu to eat the melon of the Liu family.
You know what, as expected of one of the “Four Kings and Eight Dukes”, the Liu family’s melons are really delicious.
It turns out that Liu Fang is not a good guy at all.
The incident with the opera troupe was carefully planned by him. He originally just wanted to cause trouble for his brother Liu Ying. It would be even better if it could affect his performance in the subsequent palace examination.
Liu Ying passed the imperial examination for a scholar when he was in his teens, and passed the imperial examination for a juren when he was twenty. He was about to pass the palace examination and become a jinshi, thus reaching the peak of his life. However, as the eldest son in the family, Liu Ying put a lot of pressure on Liu Fang, the second son.
When pressure accumulates for a long time, you have to find an outlet to vent it.
Obviously, Liu Fang chose the most despicable one.
This is also the reason why Liu Ying broke up with the old Duke Liguo so thoroughly later on - with a younger brother like Liu Fang who always pays close attention to all the movements of his elder brother and is committed to helping him "solve" problems, it would be strange if the father-son relationship between him and the old Duke Liguo could be good.
It can be said that the belated rebellion of the eldest master of the Liu family was inseparable from the instigation and deliberate guidance of his good brother Liu Fang.
Yes, who would have thought that his own brother, who was born of the same mother, would harm him?
It's the kind that is carefully planned.
Therefore, many people say that brothers and sisters are enemies in previous lives, and they are reincarnated as brothers and sisters in this life just to continue fighting until death.
In short, despite Liu Ying's intelligence, character, appearance, and talent, he could not escape the scheme of his younger brother Liu Fang. He was finally driven out of the Duke Liguo's Mansion, wandered on the streets, and died miserably in hunger and cold.
As for the illegitimate child he had with the actress - forget about the two of you getting married. Without the permission of his parents and the matchmaker, it would be in vain. In the eyes of the entire Duke Liguo's Mansion and even the aristocratic families in the capital, Liu Xianglian is an illegitimate child. There is no need to wash his name. It cannot be washed clean at all.
However, this kid is not completely useless. He can be used to build up his own image - a nephew without inheritance rights is not a dish that comes to your doorstep. You can do whatever you want with him and still be grateful to him.
It was your second uncle who took you in when you were desperate. You must always remember your second uncle's kindness in the future. If you become rich, you must not forget your second uncle. If you become poor, your second uncle may even pity you and help you...
Of course, all "favors" come with a price tag.
Although Liu Xianglian was young, he instinctively sensed something was wrong, so he fled from the Duke of Liguo's mansion at the age of eleven or twelve - after all, it was really unpleasant to be schemed against every day. Even though the young Liu Xianglian could not understand the twists and turns in the middle, he instinctively sensed the danger, so he left decisively.
If not, I wonder what he would become now. He would probably be a useless playboy even more despicable than Xue Pan, right?
It’s really terrifying when you think about it.
Xianyu finished eating the Liu family’s melon, and the meal was almost over.
Seeing Liu and her daughter being personally escorted out the door by Li, Xianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What a turbulent time it is. Just throwing a banquet at home can cause so much trouble. It turns out that I should keep a low profile in the future.
In this regard, the old lady of the Wang family, Feng Jieer and Wang Ziteng all expressed that they couldn't agree more - their Wang family is not like the Jia family and the Liu family, who played a good hand of cards badly. These young men are more useless than the other, and the mistress and the young ladies are also confused. If you ask them, you have to look at the Wang family. Just to say that their precious girl, Xian Jieer, is better than even the Jia family and the Liu family combined.
However, I didn't expect that the Liu family was so chaotic, and Liu Fang was such a person. No wonder the lady and the girl were raised with such personalities.
Well, there's one less person I can make friends with in the future.
It's quite quiet here, and it's a good opportunity to make some new friends.
In fact, Wang Yao's success in the imperial examination has opened the door to a new social circle.
Before, Jia Zhu was only able to marry the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College because he passed the examination for a scholar. Now, Wang Yao passed the examination for a juren, so of course he had a wider network of contacts.
Coincidentally, the chief examiner this year happened to be Zhang Ying, the current Minister of Rites and President of the Hanlin Academy.
He was the great man who became the Prime Minister of Master Kang, and his second son Zhang Tingyu later also became the Prime Minister of the Fourth Uncle.
Generally speaking, there is a natural "disciple" relationship between the chief examiner and the candidates who passed the imperial examination that year. Therefore, Wang Yao had to follow his classmates to pay a visit to Zhang Ying's house. After a few visits, the young talent and outstanding appearance of Wang Yao were actually noticed by this Lord Zhang.
