Chapter 52 It feels so good to have someone to back you up
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world, otherwise, Yu An Ning would definitely not come to the City Lord's Mansion for the banquet today.
She was wearing her most beautiful clothes, the most exquisite headpiece pendant, and using new rouge from the rouge shop in the east of the city. She came here with full confidence. She wanted to give Shu Wan a warning. She wanted to let Rong Chen know that compared to her, Shu Wan was simply a lowly person.
She wanted Rong Chen to treat her differently.
But as the saying goes, eight out of nine things in life are not as we wish.
Instead of teaching Shu Wan a lesson, she threw away her dignity and made herself a laughing stock.
It's just a loss! When being taken away, Yu Anning looked at Shu Wan with resentment.
She tried her best, but in the end she was just a clown, while Shu Wan did nothing but enjoyed everyone's flattering gazes.
She was unwilling to accept this. She was unwilling to accept that her background, appearance, and she asked herself whether she was inferior to Shu Wan in any way.
Why did Shu Wan become the city lord's wife, while she became the laughing stock of everyone? This is unfair!
With Yu Anning's departure, the farce came to an end.
But the people present still dared not breathe a word.
Rong Chen didn't say anything, but just sitting there was enough to make everyone feel afraid.
"This city lord has heard such a voice before!" Rong Chen glanced at Shu Er Niang seemingly unintentionally.
Shu Erniang's heart was in her throat when she received such a deathly look. She felt so guilty that she almost fell down on the spot.
Is she Rong Chen's next target?
"I thought it was just some nonsense and didn't need to be taken care of, but I didn't expect that repeated indulgence would lead to today's disaster." He glanced at everyone with a dangerous look, "Today's incident is just a small punishment. If this city lord hears half a word of such rumors again, it will not be a simple unintentional remark that can get away with it. Shu Wan is the only wife that this city lord has married into the house with eight sedan chairs." No one dared to think he was joking. Although they had not seen Rong Chen's methods with their own eyes, most of them had heard about them from their husbands and brothers who worked in the military department. They were well-known! No one dared to risk their lives to violate his taboos.
"Yes, we will follow the city lord's instructions!" Everyone stood up and saluted respectfully, indicating that they had kept his words in mind.
Why do I feel so good for some reason when I feel like I have someone's support?
Shu Wan has always been a solitary person. With her inner strength, the ridicule and sarcasm of others cannot hurt her at all.
But seeing Rong Chen defending her so much today, why did she feel a little weird in her heart, and even dared not look him in the eye? No, Rong Chen was not defending her, Rong Chen was defending his own reputation! After giving herself a shot of tranquilizer, Shu Wan felt that her heartbeat was not so fast.
"Yiyi." Rong Chen called Rong Yiyi again. Before he could say anything, Rong Yiyi was already frightened. She had an expression as if she had lost her parents. She lowered her head and said nothing, waiting for Rong Chen to sentence her.
"From now on, you will entertain all the ladies and girls with food and drinks. I have something to say to your sister-in-law!" He did not say anything in a negotiating tone.
"Oh? Okay!" Rong Yiyi had never expected that Rong Chen would actually say this to her. After she realized what was going on, she nodded hurriedly.
"Come with me." Rong Chen reached out and grabbed Shu Wan's hand, and was about to leave!
