"What did I do wrong?" Yan Jinsi looked at him. "What did I do wrong? Why does everyone say I'm causing trouble? Because of what? Is she a princess? So I can be bullied?"
Yan Jinfei was, after all, smarter than Yan Jinsi. Although she was stunned by being tricked, she simply lowered her head and wept for a long while, not uttering a single word.
She understood that explaining in public would be useless.
It's hard to say, but at least when Yan Jinsi acted like a shrew, she was still quite proper.
Yan Jinsi did scheme against her sister, but outsiders don't know that. She also harbors countless grievances. Doesn't her mother ask? Does she just assume she's in the wrong?
When Meng Junxian pulled her away, she looked at the princess with a sorrowful expression, but the princess was only looking down at Yan Jinfei.
The banquet was to continue, but the Meng family members had already left.
Because of this incident, the banquet ended abruptly, and in no time at all, everyone had left.
The old lady also made an excuse about having a headache and went home; she didn't care about what was going on here.
They don't care how much trouble it gets.
Only the eldest princess, Yan Nanji, and Yan Jinfei remained.
The eldest princess waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave.
"What happened?"
Yan Jinfei finally spoke, but before she could say anything, tears streamed down her face, and she threw herself into the princess's arms and cried.
"Fourth sister has been wronged," Yan Nanji sighed.
"Good boy, you go first. There are many things to do. You are a man, and your fourth sister may not be able to speak her mind here," the princess said gently.
"Yes, then Mother and Fourth Sister should talk to her and offer some guidance." Yan Nanji then took his leave.
After he left, Yan Jinfei stopped crying.
What happened?
"Third Sister's temperament is getting worse and worse. She made herself into that state, trying to make her daughter look bad today. And she deliberately said those things, she's trying to ruin Mother and me. How could Third Sister be so heartless..." Yan Jinfei thought, feeling very scared.
The eldest princess sighed deeply.
"What a fool."
“Mother, Third Sister is… alas, she’s utterly confused. With your life so difficult now, how can she possibly be better off? She’s jealous of me, but if I had a good life, wouldn’t we all be better off?” Yan Jinfei wiped away her tears.
The eldest princess sighed wearily, "It's come to this now, so don't be sad."
She was powerless, and who knows what people outside would say about her.
How Yan Jinfei got pregnant is a secret she least wants to talk about.
Now her own daughter has exposed it in public. With so many people around, how can she possibly keep quiet?
Furthermore, that girl openly stated that Yan Jinfei wanted to marry a prince.
How can such a thing be spoken aloud?
Meanwhile, on the carriage heading home, Yan Jinsi was no longer the hoarse, desperate woman she had been moments before.
Her lip was cracked, but her hair was already combed.
When she got off the bus, Old Madam Meng glanced at her several times, but dared not say anything.
Meng Junxian remained silent.
He had mixed feelings.
They wanted to leave Yan Jinsi without anyone to rely on, but if Princess Rongning really stopped caring about her, what use would Yan Jinsi be?
For a moment, I felt a mix of emotions.
Ever since my divorce from Yan Nangui, life has become a blur. It's gotten worse day by day...
These things quickly became the talk of the town.
The next day, Yan Nangui knew everything.
Extremely surprised: "I never expected my third sister to be so amazing. It's really beyond my expectations."
"Yes, they say it made a really ugly scene. Once those things were brought up... although no one could say anything to their faces, the atmosphere was still tense," Chanyi said.
"Tsk, look at what I thought back then? As long as Third Sister entered the Meng family, there would be a show to watch."
They were the same kind of sisters, but one of them had no choice but to become a second wife in order to appease the Meng family.
The other one is currently a princess, and may become a prince's consort in the future.
More likely, after overthrowing the crown prince, she will become the crown princess, or even the empress.
How could Yan Jinsi accept Yan Jinfei's behavior?
Sure enough, it didn't take too much effort.
"Xiangsi is truly remarkable. Please pass on my message another day. As the saying goes, 'too much of a good thing is bad.' I remember all her good qualities," Yan Nangui said.
"Yes," Chanyi replied with a smile.
“There’s something else. The Lady of Xinyang’s birthday is coming up soon. What do you think?” Chanyi asked.
Lady Lan Xiangyi, wife of the Marquis of Xinyang, was the maternal aunt of Yan Nangui.
"Yes, I'll go then." The original owner's aunt was someone who had always been extremely kind to her. Of course, she would go.
"Prepare a good birthday gift, choose something nice and useful."
With this statement, Chanyi and the others naturally knew how to prepare, and could easily distinguish between those close to them and those who were distant.
When Yan Nan returned in the evening, he sent someone to the front yard to specifically discuss this matter.
Shu Chengfeng happened to have nothing to do, so he decided to come over.
"This concubine greets Your Highness," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
"No need. I heard you're going to the Marquis of Xinyang's residence?"
“Yes, it’s my aunt’s birthday. May I go?” Yan Nangui asked.
"Of course." Shu Chengfeng smiled. "Do you need me to prepare a congratulatory gift for you?"
"Really? That would be wonderful." Yan Nangui smiled. "I will prepare something myself. However, my uncle is a minor marquis and does not hold any respectable official position, so there is no need for anything too elaborate. I will go and visit him to fulfill our family obligations."
"Tang'er is close to your aunt, so she can stay longer," Shu Chengfeng said.
"Then I'll go in the morning and come back at night," Yan Nangui said.
"Alright, I'll send some men to accompany you then." There will always be a few guards with you.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yan Nangui smiled.
"Tang'er, you're too kind. It's been a few days since we last met. You must be in a very good mood today, right?" Shu Chengfeng lifted her chin.
Needless to say? With the Yan family making such a scene, she couldn't help but laugh.
"So, Your Highness is here to join me in the festivities? Shouldn't we set out a table and have some good wine? Your Highness can't just come alone to celebrate, can you?" Yan Nangui hugged his neck, but with a slight twist of her head, he shook her off.
Shu Chengfeng was used to this woman hugging his neck all the time, and subconsciously put his arm around her: "It's your family, after all. It's not good to gloat like this."
"My maternal family is no longer important; my husband's family is." Yan Nangui snorted. "Your Highness is such a spoilsport. You came but refused to celebrate. I might as well have eaten and drunk by myself."
"Haha, since you have made a request, I will naturally grant it. Men, prepare a feast. I will enjoy it with Yan Liangyuan."
"You should also give the order that if Consort Ye invites you again after you've had a good time, then I won't be polite," Yan Nangui said.
Shu Chengfeng simply pinched her cheek again and called out to Yun Ji, "Yan Liangyuan has given instructions, you know that, right?"
Yun Ji hurriedly responded and left.
He found it amusing; it was as if His Highness was happy to see Consort Ye, let alone Consort Yan.
He was even less willing to agree.
The more the Empress tried to persuade him, the less he wanted to see her.
If things continue like this, tsk tsk. That person will never get ahead in this lifetime.
