Chapter 17 Returning Home
Zhao Shi warned Rong Chen before going to Shu Wan's yard.
Ask Nanny Sun if there is anything they have forgotten among the gifts they are going to bring back today.
Nanny Sun had already counted these things, so there would be no mistakes.
But I still followed the order and watched it again.
Only then did Zhao talk to Shu Wan.
"Wanwan, Chen'er will be here soon to go back with you to meet your parents. The child has a quiet personality and doesn't talk much. You can ask your parents to be patient with him when the time comes." She was really worried about Rong Chen. She was afraid that the boy would put on a bad face to his father-in-law and mother-in-law after he went there, which would upset the two elders of the Shu family.
If the rules didn't prohibit it, she would have wanted to go with them.
The marriage between the Rong family and the Shu family is more like a business marriage.
The Shu family's huge wealth can relieve Xia Tian's current pressure, while the Rong family's power can protect the Shu family's business.
So, naturally, she took it to heart.
"Yes, my wife will remember it!" Shu Wan answered softly.
Since Zhao treated what happened last night as if nothing had happened, she would not mention it.
The servant came to report that Rong Chen would not come and was waiting for Shu Wan at the door.
Shu Wan raised her eyebrows, thinking that her mother-in-law was really quick and Rong Chen had already made arrangements.
She thought that since Rong Chen looked like he wanted to eat her when he left yesterday, she would definitely not be seen today.
Mother-in-law is so clever! The servants put the gifts that Shu Wan was going to take back today on the carriage, and Nanny Sun helped her walk out.
Zhao's heart finally settled down.
Rong Chen became impatient waiting at the door, so he ordered the butler to urge Shu Wan to come, but he didn't know why Shu Wan was so slow.
trouble!
As soon as the butler received the order and turned around, he saw Shu Wan not far away.
"Reporting to the city lord, the lady is here!"
Hearing this, Rong Chen turned his head and looked.
Shu Wan was seen wearing a dark red, chest-length, double-breasted Confucian dress with a pattern of four-season flowers and the Chinese character for longevity and good fortune. Her long hair was tied into a concentric bun, and on the bun she simply pinned a pair of red gold, jewel-studded chrysanthemum, melon and butterfly hairpins. She looked elegant and dignified, graceful and elegant. On her palm-sized face, she had a little makeup on, and her complexion was beautiful and cold. Her eyes were like deep pools of black jade, her skin was white and delicate, like ivory carvings, and her cherry lips were rosy without any makeup (Note: This paragraph is excerpted from Baidu.) Rong Chen's eyes were gloomy, and he had to admit that the little wife he married was a stunning beauty.
He was distracted for a moment.
"Get in!" After Shu Wan walked up to him, he spoke lightly and then got on the carriage.
Shu Wan rolled her eyes secretly and followed him into the car. Rong Chen must have changed his clothes after being scolded by Zhao. He was wearing a tailored dark-colored robe, which made him look even more handsome.
Bah, you behave like a dog!
Shu Wan cursed inwardly and got into the car.
The carriage began to sway and move forward, and neither of the two people in the carriage spoke a word.
Rong Chen glanced at the little girl next to him. The latter kept her brows lowered. Shu had never given her a good look since he got on the carriage that night, let alone took the initiative to talk to her.
"Hey." Rong Chen frowned, but he still touched Shu Wan's arm with his elbow, "Did you say something to my mother and asked her to go find this city lord and ask this city lord to accompany you back? You are so cunning!" For some reason, he just didn't like Shu Wan. Seeing Shu Wan like this, he felt inexplicably unhappy.
Shu Wan then looked up at him, the contempt in his eyes deepening.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!" This person just likes to find fault, right? "If you don't want to go, no one is forcing you! You can get off the carriage after passing this intersection." Go wherever is cool, this Rong Chen is her nemesis. When she sees him, her good mood for the day will be gone.
"You..." Rong Chen didn't expect this little girl to be so sharp-tongued. Didn't he just say that casually? "You said that if I go back alone and get laughed at, it's none of my business." Shu Wan said this. He couldn't leave or stay.
If he left at this point, it would be too ungraceful, but if he continued to accompany her back, would this damn woman think he was too easy to bully?
"Yes, it's none of your business!" Shu Wan didn't care what he thought. She hoped that Rong Chen would not accompany her back. Anyway, she had no plan to live with Rong Chen. Since they would get divorced sooner or later, there was no need to do all these face-saving works now. "Go wherever you want!" to avoid being an eyesore.
"Okay, okay!" Rong Chen originally wanted to make Shu Wan realize that she couldn't go back without him, so he said something softer and he would give her a way out. He didn't expect her to be so rude. In that case, don't blame him. "Don't regret it, stop the car!" he said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Si, who was driving the horse, pulled the reins and stopped the horse.
"Hmph!" Rong Chenkeng snorted and got off the carriage.
"Let's keep going." After Shu Wan waited for him to get off the car, he ordered the car to leave.
The carriage gradually went away, and Rong Chen was left alone on the street! Rong Chen didn't expect Shu Wan to really leave alone. He was furious and hated Shu Wan to death, and then left angrily.
He thought that if Shu Wan regretted it, she shouldn't come to beg him, otherwise he would make her suffer.
But he was overthinking it. Shu Wan really didn't want to take Rong Chen back.
So when the carriage arrived at the Shu family's door, she didn't have the slightest regret. Instead, she felt much more comfortable without the great god.
"Aunt is back with her new son-in-law!" Before the carriage had even stopped at the gate of the Shu Mansion, the Shu family's maid could be heard shouting.
Shu Wan held his forehead with his hand. Although his aunt had returned, the new son-in-law probably wouldn't be able to come.
There were many people standing in front of the gate of the Shu Mansion, looking eagerly forward to it, led by Shu Zheng and his wife, followed by a number of maids and servants, waiting for Shu Wan and Rong Chen to get off the carriage.
The servants of the Rong family looked a little unnatural. Their city lord had left halfway, so where would the new son-in-law come from? But what could they do? They could only smile.
The servants of the Rong family hurriedly took down the gifts, and the maids and servants of the Shu family hurried forward to receive them, saying polite words.
Shu Wan got off the carriage with the help of Nanny Sun.
The Shu family waited and waited but Rong Chen didn't come down.
"Daughter greets parents!" Shu Wan possessed the body and bowed. These were the original owner's parents. Now that she had taken over their bodies, they naturally became her parents. She was willing to fulfill her filial duties on behalf of the original owner.
"Wanwan, what's wrong? Isn't your son-in-law here?" Shu Wan's mother, Mrs. Li, pulled her up. The smile on her face faded for a moment, and she looked at Shu Wan and asked.
"Madam Shu, please forgive me." Nanny Sun took the initiative to apologize. "My city lord was supposed to come with us, but halfway through, Xiao Si came to report that there was an urgent matter in the military camp. The city lord had no choice but to go first, and asked this old servant to apologize to the master and the mistress on his behalf. Later, he will come in person to apologize to the two elders!" She said the words of apology that she had prepared in advance.
She was afraid that Shu Wan would tell the truth and reveal the fact that they had quarreled in the car and Rong Chen left. That would really offend Shu Zheng and his wife.
Li looked at Shu Wan, intending to ask whether what Nanny Sun said was true. If Rong Chen didn't really have an urgent matter, she would not agree.
"That's right!" Shu Wan said calmly, "He had something urgent to do and couldn't make it." There was no need for her to expose Nanny Sun's intentions at this time, but she was definitely not speaking for Rong Chen.
"Then should we wait for the son-in-law to come before we have our meal?" Seeing Shu Wan say that, Li believed it. Her Wan Wan was definitely not someone who would swallow up an injustice. Since she said so, it was probably true.
"No need." Shu Wan smiled appropriately, "Who knows how long he will be busy, no need to wait for him." Waiting for Rong Chen? You won't be able to wait for him even if you wait until the end of time.
"In that case, notify the kitchen and start getting ready!" Li instructed the old nanny behind her.
They said they asked the kitchen to prepare, but in fact the kitchen had already prepared it and was just waiting for the aunt and the new son-in-law to arrive before serving the dishes.
"Hmph, this brat Rong Chen, no matter how big the matter is, he has to rush over at this time. It's obvious that he doesn't take me seriously!" At this time, Shu Zheng spoke angrily.
Even though Rong Chen is the city lord, he is also her son-in-law. It would be strange if he is in a good mood if he is disrespected like this.
He had heard that the day before yesterday when Shu Wan and he got married, he was not present from beginning to end. He hasn't asked Rong Chen for clarification yet. Today, there was such a scene again. It seemed like he was not taking him seriously.
"Master Shu, please forgive me." Nanny Sun apologized with a smile, "The city lord really can't get away. I will ask someone to invite him to put down what he is doing and kowtow to the master to apologize!" In fact, on the way, Nanny Sun had already sent someone back to the mansion. She couldn't invite Rong Chen back, so she had to find the old lady Zhao.
Only Zhao could subdue Rong Chen, so she asked Zhao to invite him. Nanny Sun knew that with Zhao's style of doing things, she would tie Rong Chen up today even if she had to. That's why she dared to say that Rong Chen should come to apologize later.
"Hmph, I can't bear it!" Shu Zhengcai ignored Nanny Sun's words, "He is the city lord, and I am just a commoner. How can I bear his kowtow?" Shu Zhengcai was really angry. Shu Wan was his only precious daughter. He held her in his mouth since she was a child for fear that she would melt into a flower, and in his hands for fear that she would fall. She was brought up with a silver spoon in her mouth and pampered. Before she got married, he would feel distressed for a long time if she frowned.
But now, she has only been married to Rong Chen for a few days and she has suffered such a great injustice. Rong Chen doesn't even care about her, his father-in-law, so who knows how he will abuse his precious daughter behind her back.
Of course he was angry.
"Master Shu, calm down. When the city lord arrives, Master Shu will beat or scold him, and he won't dare to complain!" At this time, Nanny Sun had no reason to get angry with others. Rong Chen was wrong first, and no matter how harsh the other person's words were, she could only apologize! Shu Zheng snorted coldly, not interested in Nanny Sun's words.
Nanny Sun gave Shu Wan a look that sought help.
"Dad, don't be angry." Shu Wan naturally knew what Shu Zheng was thinking at this moment. He felt sorry for Shu Wan and felt that Rong Chen was not good to his daughter. "Rong Chen really had something urgent to do, so he left halfway. Before he left, he asked me to talk to Dad properly. When he is done with his work, he will definitely apologize to you and accept your punishment!" I don't know if it was because this body was the original owner's, but Shu Wan didn't feel that it was awkward to act coquettishly in front of Shu Zheng.
"Hmph, you're just turning your elbow outward and always speaking for him!" Shu Zheng's expression eased a lot and he glared at Shu Wan angrily. She had only been married for a few days and she was already speaking for an outsider. He was too sad.
"No, no, no, I love daddy the most!" Shu Wan continued to act shamelessly and coquettishly. For the family members who are so sincere to her, she would not hesitate to respond with the most sincere enthusiasm.
"Alright, alright, you're already grown up!" Shu Zheng was amused by her, but he still deliberately put on a stern face, "You're already married, why are you still acting like a child?" He pretended to lecture her.
"In front of Dad, Wanwan is still a child even if she is eighty years old!" Shu Wan's little mouth chattered and her words were so sweet.
"Okay, stop being ashamed. Stop standing here and go in." After being coaxed by Shu Wan, Shu Zheng temporarily forgot about Rong Chen, the annoying guy, and spoke with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay." Shu Wan held the Shu couple's arms on each side and walked inside.
Nanny Sun looked at Shu Wan with gratitude.
Fortunately, Shu Wan spoke up for Rong Chen and calmed Shu Zheng down. Otherwise, if Shu Zheng refused to let the Rong family's servants in today because Shu Wan didn't come, and the news got out, they wouldn't know how they would be scolded in the City Lord's Mansion.
After all, in Blackwater City, benevolence and filial piety govern the city.
I didn't expect that even though the lady had suffered such a great injustice, she could still speak up for the City Lord's Mansion. She is truly a rare good person.
Alas, how could the city lord have the heart to abandon such a good lady like this!
Nanny Sun complained about Rong Chen in her heart for a while, but she said nice things with a smile on her face, and a group of people came in talking and laughing.
The Shu family prepared a special dining room for the servants who came back with Shu Wan. After they were welcomed in, they sat around the table, waiting for dinner to start.
